My OC Eko!

Kitao was in a state of nothing, he was finding so hard to feel anything. It had taken a while but this dreadful killing game had finally gotten to him, it was the reveal of Shirokawa’s betray that broke the camels back and left Kitao is this state.this state of numbness, this blank empty feeling that swallowed him as he just..wandered through the days..until it happened, until Saruhiko’s corpse was found. 

Even then of course, he felt nothing, nothing be a slightly sting..but in his mind, why did it matter, death was just going to keep happen. But then something happened that truly snapped him out of it. That...video...no..goodness no...please..

WHA.....

Kitao felt his heart jump, pain and grief already starting to flood and replace that numb feeling as he rushed to the chapel, the others with him. His chest ached as he pushed open the doors and.......everything shattered into pain...this sick feeling of sadness filled him. He was frozen in place, just staring, eyes wide at the sight. Shirokawa was...dead..and he couldn’t do anything to save her.

SHI-SHI-SHII

The most logical thing to do in the start of a video game was to get yourself acquainted with your surroundings. 

Ming-hua went by this logic. As soon as they were dismissed by the AI named U.S.A.M.I., she left without approaching anyone else and headed straight to her room in the dormitories. She figured she would explore the rest of the Residency Ward after, as it was the only map - er, place, unlocked - er, available for them to explore. 

After checking her room, she stepped out, only to bump into something else immediately after. 

Ming-hua briefly flinched at the sudden physical contact, and quickly took a step back. She composed herself, straightening up and looking at the other student with a steady gaze. There was a moment of silence, in which she blankly stared at them.

“... My apologies.” 

Her tone was rather emotionless, and she appeared not to really care about the situation. At least, she didn’t appear to be annoyed or angry. Her eyes were slightly unfocused, as if she were daydreaming and completely unaware of what was going on. 

“... ... ...” 

Himori was super excited to be here. It was exhilarating to experience such adventure! There were so many sights and people, she was unable ot remain still as a result of the excess energy.

She took out her trusted camera and snapped shots of everything around her. It wasn’t necessarily something she was doing consciously, but moreso akin to a compulsive action.

She went up to the nearest one of her classmates and took a picture, the flash going off in the poor person’s face.

“Ooops! Sorry ‘bout all of that! I didn’t realize the flash would be so bright in your eyes!”

She laughed. and set her camera back by her side.

Somehow, despite the events of the last trial, Kitao was keeping a smile on his face, a bright and happy looking grin that shone brightly in this dark time. But even with his smile, Kitao was very much not happy. Even he couldn't keep up being a happy after what had occurred, sure he could fake it, and fake it he was, but inside he was dying.

KITAO IS HAPPY AND OK!

He chimed in a very unbelievable tone as he wandered around the newest area, hoping something would take his mind of this horrid game...and he found just what he was looking for Weird balls of ooze rolling around a pen.

HOLY FUCK THOSE ARE CUTE

Sefu Iskandar stands at the center of a stage in a brand new suit, surrounded by shadows that wield cameras and flashes and speedlights and softboxes, all looming over him and waiting for a signal. The boy’s body language is as strong and energetic as ever, but even through the screen you can sense the hollowness in his eyes as the Assistant whirls around in their chair and snaps.

He barks out orders as shutters click and lights flash, and Sefu obeys without a word. He shifts effortlessly from pose to pose as the lamps grow brighter and the shadows circle closer, revealed as carbon copies of the gas-masked man as they draw closer to the light. Regardless of his efforts, none of them seem pleased with his work-- it starts as nudges into the poses they seem to want, but escalates quickly to shoves and slaps that the broken boy barely reacts to as he holds his position.

His mind had left this place long ago; it died when he’d realized what he’d done, right there among his friends in the middle of that trial. So as the execution streaming cameras lost sight of his twirling body amidst the crowd, it didn’t feel as much like execution as it did putting him out of his misery.

The only sign of Sefu in all the commotion is the occasional yelp loud enough to carry past the machinery noises, or the rare glimpse of an arm or leg bent at an unnatural angle. Time passes at an excruciating pace, leaving your imagination to wonder what’s happening to him, if the video has an end, if they’ll ever let you leave this room. Finally, finally, the shadows retreat like curtains pulling away to reveal the final attraction…

The bruised and broken body of Sefu Iskandar, propped up on a chair like a ragdoll.

The Assistant walks out on stage, straightens the corpse’s tie, and takes a photo for himself.

[Sefu Iskandar, the SHSL Suit Model, has been executed.]

For most people, the events that just occurred would likely be very traumatizing and leave a deep emotional scar....not Kitao. Yeah he found the deaths of Jayden and Sefu to be horrid and upsetting, but he also knew one was a sad accident and the other was taken with stride. Ok sure he did spend a lot of time crying but he got over. Kitao decided that those two death, while horrible, we’re just meant to be and they weren’t going to ruin his life.

When the new area opened, Kitao was quick to rush over and honestly the first thing he did was rush into the kitchen and grab as much food as he could.

FOOD FOOD FOOD!

Kitao was to say the very least, in awe. When he saw Mars..wow..and when he saw that rabbit lady. WOW! He rushed right up to them to try and touch them and he was a bit upset that he couldn’t touch her but still. Then there was the PDA, which Kitao was hoping he could slap some stickers on. Then there was the entire station itself.

Kitao was quick to run around the place, in and out of every room he could, looking them all over in amazement. It was all so...spacey and cool. Kitao was loving this, in fact he was soaking it up like a tiny, buff sponge.

HAHA WOWIE WOW WOWZER! THIS IS ALL SO SUPER DUPER NEATO!

SPACE! I LOVE IT!
