About the muse:

- This is a pregame Korekiyo Shinguji blog!

- He is currently 18 years old, and in his final year of high school.

- Danganronpa is a fictional TV series to him. All of the participants are people age 18 and up that sign up to go into a sim, and have their brains temporarily overwritten with the fictional persona that they've gotten for the show. Korekiyo is a big fan of the series.

- For the sake of ✨fun✨, I am saying that fangans count as "other seasons" of the show.

- Will any of this change? Will he decide to enter Danganronpa? What secrets is he currently hiding? You'll have to find out yourself!

- Some other characters may make guest appearances! Check the "Available" spot above to see who you can talk to.

- Korekiyo uses he/him pronouns. (For now.)

- Mod is generally not comfortable with NSFW, but implied stuff is fine. I will do my best to tag all triggers appropriately.

About the mod:

- Call me Lucy! Hi!

- I'm an adult and I use she/her pronouns.

- Asks talking to me and not to a character will be tagged "mod speaks ❤️"

- A lot of what Korekiyo has going on pre-Danganronpa is my own headcanon. Just figured I should state that somewhere.

- I have a sprite editing blog ( @mod-tsu-edits-for-you) and a barely active art blog ( @tsu-draws-sometimes ). Feel free to interact with me on those blogs as well!

"I am choosing to believe that you mean that in a positive way. Thank you."

"I quite like red dahlias. I suppose those are my favorite. I also enjoy red roses, as well as red spider lilies, although the latter is moreso due to their cultural significance and the mythology surrounding them. Those are not a flower you gift to someone, unless you wish them dead."

He appears to want to speak more, but stops himself. They do not want a lecture. Keep your mouth shut.

"It has just occurred to me," he adds quietly, "that I specifically named red flowers. That was unintentional. But I suppose it is one of my favorite colors."

"I... I see. Thank you. I apologize for seeming put off by it. Affection is not something I am used to receiving."

"A-Ah... Thank you, Anonymous. Are you saying this for a reason, or...?"

She would give a small awkward smile in return, alongside a nod. Her eyes still didn’t quite meet yours. “I definitely should’ve started off by introducing myself…” Honestly you wouldn’t be shocked if she was the first person she’d spoken to with how she was acting…

She shifted her gaze to you for a moment, seeming to note your discomfort, quickly noting a soft apology, “Sorry about startling you…” She was quick to look away again. “…uh- shoot…wait- Didn’t actually tell you my name either-“ She winced again, dear lord she was not doing good at this.

“You can just call me Cora..!” She noted, somewhat more cheerfully, “Are last names important?…” Those words however were more mumbled to herself than anything, seeming stuck in her thoughts, though she snapped out shortly after, “Transfer student from Australia.” She added, though she didn’t seem fully sure if that was information she needed to share. “The wildlife isn’t as terrifying as people say it is….at-least in my opinion…” She seemed to relax somewhat. But her guard was obviously still up.

-🌲ANON/CORA🌊 NOTE: SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY 💔💔

He merely stood and observed, listening closely as Cora spoke. The fact that Cora was from Australia was interesting to him. I'm sure she comes from a culture very different to Japan's, and I will hopefully get to hear more about that. I have a book on legends from the Aboriginal communities there that I have yet to read as well... Ah, Korekiyo, you are getting away from yourself again. Focus. Be polite. Act like a human.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Cora-San. My name is Shinguji Korekiyo," he introduced himself, bowing politely. Is she aware of the last name first custom here? I suppose it doesn't matter. I can always inform her of it later. "I'm glad to hear that," he seemed to smile hearing about the wildlife. That seemed like a good thing to grab onto for the sake of conversation. "I have heard horror stories about the spiders, I will admit."

"It is going well, all things considered. My grades are excellent, and I am certain that I will make it into any university I wish to attend. I hope to study anthropology. So yes, I am studying a significant amount." He traced a finger gently along the edge of his book, feeling the paper beneath his index finger. "Friends... That is a different story. I prefer to observe my classmates from afar, and they seem content to mostly do the same for me. I do have acquaintances outside of school, but nobody I would consider a friend."

Someone's loud, strident laughter echoed from outside. Korekiyo flinched, then stood from his desk. Looking out the window, Korekiyo could see everyone outside, eating lunch and talking. The loud laugh seemed to have come from a girl sitting with friends on a bench. Korekiyo noted her wavy blonde hair, low-cut shirt, and short skirt. She wasn't in his class, but she was definitely in his grade.

"I am content being alone," he finally said aloud, eyes fixed on the girl and her friends. His voice was firm and quiet. He appeared to be convincing himself of that fact, too.

He freezes up for a moment, before relaxing a little and wrapping his arms around you in return. It feels like you're hugging a scarecrow, but he is warm.
