#dv update

Even as a child, she’s felt different from the other kids in her class. Shitty childhood aside, even the love everyone had shown her didn’t bring her comfort. Patricia Watson had a hard time feeling anything besides one thing and one thing alone: despair. It was her one way of taking control over a life that didn’t allow her to make her own decisions--in this killing game, she was the queen, and everyone was at her mercy, even if they didn’t realize it.

Hope’s Peak was boring as is. It was time to have a little fun at everyone’s expense.

Bendy, she says, was the easiest to convince to help her out. All she had to do was promise him fame and fortune, and he was in the palm of her hand. His obsession with her, however, was excessive, and the way she speaks illustrates just how disgusted she was with it all. It was all an act, she insists, saying she didn’t feel much for anyone on the island. Why would she? She’s going to have them all killed anyway, so what’s the use with getting attached?

One person, however, stood out in her explanation: Marie.

All Patricia wanted in her life was the chance to kill her best friend, but that was taken from her. It filled her with despair, sure, but it definitely wasn’t the same.

Angered by the state of things thus far, Akihiko punches her in the face. Patricia only grins, asking him to do it again. He backs down. Being promptly disowned by Totoko, she can hear Tohru say he doesn’t hold anything against her, but she staunchly ignores it. She isn’t sure what to make of that, so not acknowledging it is for the best.

Finally, she reveals one last key bit of information: she only acted accordingly with how she thought the audience would like it. The way she responded to people, the amount of emotions she showed, expressing anger and sadness at the right times… It was exactly what the viewers wanted, and they ate that shit up. She seems smug when she talks about, actually, much to the anger of the others. If she hadn’t been the cause behind everyone’s deaths, some might even call her manner of speaking cute! The cuteness is gradually replaced by confidence, seemingly not regretting a thing she had done.

Even as she explains how the audience projects on everyone that’s been involved, she’s cheerful when she mentions how she didn’t have to push anyone to develop. It was their own doing, and it was pretty entertaining!

"You know what’s better, though?"

Silence falls over the room. The mastermind is pausing for dramatic effect, and surprisingly, nobody interrupts.

"A plot twist no one saw coming. This is it! Me, the beloved comic relief, one of the fan favorites, was actually the showrunner the entire time! Boy, I bet people seeing this are screaming right now! I’d love to be able to hear it.”

Nobody else seems as amused as she does. The tween frowns, a bit disappointed. This wasn’t unexpected, but she wishes they were as easy to force into despair as Bendy was. Guess he was the traitor for a reason, eh folks?

As a vote is called, she is unsurprisingly voted the mastermind. That part wasn’t an act, at least! Peacock, Ultimate Despair, the mastermind behind the whole killing game, has been revealed to a worldwide audience, and she couldn’t be happier with the results. The grin that’s been on her face refuses to leave, and she clasps her hands, having one last thing to say:

“Well, y’know how the sayin’ goes: That’s all, folks!”

> GAME OVER

> PATRICIA WATSON HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY.

She isn’t scared. In fact, she was prepared for this the entire time. Instead of being dragged to her execution, Peacock smiles, bowing and waving before her surviving classmates before walking to her execution.

It’s as if she’s been prepared for this the entire time. Is she… Looking forward to this? Why does she seem so smug?

> TIME FOR THE MASTERMIND’S ULTRA DESPAIR-INDUCING PUNISHMENT!

TW: Body horror, blood, gore, fire, car crashes, implied drowning and impalement, guns, knives, unsanitary, mentions of dismemberment

As everyone stands silently, they notice a projector--which had been present in the trial room all this time, funnily enough--springing to life, displaying a black & white scene before them. Jolly, happy music plays in the background, and nothing about the spectacle seems real. It’s like some poor rubber hose animator painstakingly drew this scene from scratch, and boy is Patricia living it up!

It’s fairly reminiscent of Bendy’s execution: a cartoonized Peacock exists in a toon world, her dark eyes seeming more natural in this setting than in real life. However, what seems extra familiar about this area is… She’s on a talk show? Sitting on a couch, she seems to be talking merrily with a cartoon version of Goro Akechi, who sits at the typical talk show host desk, stained with blood. The pink on his black and white attire really stands out, actually.

Smiling, Goro pushes a button, strapping Peacock to the couch she’s been talking on, but she doesn’t seem bothered. As the camera pans away from the setup (revealing it’s actually in an aquarium tank), pink fluid can be seen filling the tank from the bottom up. Goro doesn’t seem bothered in the least, looking quite amused as the area begins to fill with blood. The mastermind grins, and the footage immediately cuts away to another scene.

Standing on another stage, Peacock stands besides an impaled Hibiki Wataru, looking a little worse for wear. The tween, however, still seems as intact as ever, and possibly even more excited than before. Wataru begins to attach familiar restraints to the girl’s body, but nothing about it is forced--it’s as if he wants to do this to her. As she watches the contraption hang precariously above her, the magician pays no mind to the timer counting down before them, insisting on pulling the lever as soon as he’s able to. The girl’s laugh can be heard right before it comes crashing down onto her, and again the footage skips to something different.

Although dressed more extravagantly than the other prisoners, Peacock stands idly in her jail cell, swaying back and forth as she waits for the horn to sound. Even while restrained to a ball and chain, the mastermind has a slight sway in her step, as if she’s manipulated the ball enough to not tie her down. It’s a cartoon, remember? Jeez, keep up! Or maybe Tougou Hajime should? He’s not trailing too far behind her, bullet holes and stab wounds covering his entire body while holding a knife in his only attached arm. The thrill of the chase is one thing, but seeing reanimated cartoon versions of her classmates holding guns in her direction? That’s just absolutely despair inducing!

Like the other scenes, of course, it cuts away right before one of them gets to her. It’s difficult to tell if Tougou got to her or if one of her classmates did first.

Tied to a firetruck ladder, Peacock’s being driven by none other than Clive Dove himself! He looks worse for wear, burn scars and his half dead self apparent even in this Toontown setting. A cartoon version of Hope’s Peak is already burning to the ground, various helpless nameless students running from it. Is the mastermind taking any of this seriously? No, not really. It’s hard to tell if she even catches on fire or not considering this short clip skips right before the truck makes an impact.

Now, the scene doesn’t seem as familiar--unlike the other scenes, this one is more realistic and in color. With her feet on the dashboard, Peacock leans back in the passenger seat, grinning deviously as a half melted Bendy is taking the wheel in what appears to be the mastermind’s car. Speeding down route 66, her grin only grows wider, yelling at Bendy to “go faster!” every so often. She sits up, practically standing her seat as soon as the speedometer is well over 100 mph. They’re approaching something in the distance, and Peacock, as confident as ever, lights one last cigar as the upcoming obstacle gets closer and closer.

It appears to be a brick wall, but with one thing off about it: a comical black hole placed, as if Bugs Bunny himself placed it. Unbothered, she simple keeps standing in her seat, looking toward the hole with determination in her sick, sick eyes. Is she trying to escape!?

Yes.

She was.

It’s not until they’re mere seconds from collision does she realize it’s painted on.

If the survivors look hard enough, they can see slight fear in her eyes. Real, genuine fear. This isn’t a cartoon anymore, Patricia.

Right as the car collides with the wall, a loud, sickening splat is heard. Unlike the other times, the film reel doesn’t cut away, revealing a smashed car, ink, and a hell of a lot of blood. It’s hard to tell where Peacock even is anymore amidst the wreckage, but one thing can be said for sure: the mastermind is officially dead, and this nightmare of a killing game is over.

Finally, the presentation stops. A soft click can be heard behind Peacock’s podium, and if anyone goes to investigate, they’ll find a boat engine.

Whether or not Bendy was ready for it, a cuff shoots from the execution room and tightens it’s grip around Bendy’s wrist and drags him inside. As this happens, an old school television appears in the trial room.

The scene-- or, no...rather, the screen flickers in front of you, and you’re met with a sight you should’ve expected to see. A black and white world that looks extremely cartoony, and in the center of it all stands the dancing demon himself, Bendy. He looks almost nervous, looking around to see where he is before realizing-- this is home. The world that his creators have made for him back at home, off this island, and for a brief second he wonders if he was spared from his execution.

Well, that is, until he hears the sounds of an explosion happening just a few feet away from him. Looking to his right, Bendy notices an explosion with rather large, comically sized BOOM! to accompany it. As he watches it disperse, he notices-- everything left behind in it’s destruction is…

… Nothing.

In it’s place stands-- just a white canvas, as if it has been erased. Bendy hears another explosion happen to his left side, and he takes a moment to examine it. He takes a step back as the BOOM! engulfs the screen, and winces in clear pain when something from the explosion splashes off it and hits him in the arm. It’s only then he realizes what it is-- acetone. Bendy watches as the explosion disperses, leaving behind a blank canvas…

The explosions are made from acetone.

That’s why it’s leaving nothing behind, other than a blinding white color. His world is made from ink. He’s made from ink-- He’s-

He’s going to be erased from his world-- from the entire world, and he--

He can’t have that.

So, he runs. He turns on his heel, running as quickly as he possibly can. He can hear the sounds of explosions behind him, and a look of pure fear  forms on his face. The explosions start to inch closer and closer to him, splashing acetone in every direction. Some manage to land and hit him in the legs while he runs, causing him to stumble over and cry out in pain. He manages to catch himself however, and he continues to run. Even though everything’s starting to hurt, he runs.

He can’t die here. He doesn’t want to be erased- he can’t be forgotten about. Not again…

..and then he spots it.

An old timey television, turned on to a staticy channel. His inky heart pounds against his chest, and the explosions feel as though they’re drawing in closer and closer. He picks up his pace to the best of his ability, and runs straight towards the television. As he gets closer to it, a look of what appears to be hope appears on his face, and he reaches out for it. He’s almost there, he just has to get to it- he’ll jump through it, and maybe he’ll escape… Right?

… Wrong!

Just as Bendy reaches the television, the screen starts to glitch. The sounds of explosions behind Bendy stop, and as he’s about to hop through it and reach what he feels would be safety, the television explodes with a comically large BOOM!, and Bendy is showered in a wave of acetone that just doesn’t seem to stop coming. He lets out a scream of pain, loud enough to combat the sound of explosion until there’s nothing left, and his screams come to a cease.

As everyone comes to the next morning, the first thing everyone will notice is a ship docked against the island. Could that be it- ? Could that be their way out? Those still alive quickly scramble out from where they were, rushing towards the boat with a hopeful look until they notice something’s off immediately.

The propeller’s missing.

The steering wheel to guide the boat is missing. 

In fact- it looks as if a lot of things from the boat are missing - the key parts to make it run. This was...some soft of a joke. Right? Those still alive look to each other with a look of confusion, about to ask what the hell is going on-

Until the sounds of the intercom come on interrupt their thoughts. 

They almost expect to hear that stupid bear’s voice, and brace themselves for the sheer annoyance to come from it. 

“GOOOOD MORNIN’, EVERYONE!” 

...That’s not Monokuma’s voice. 

“I see yer all awake and noticed the boat that’s docked against the island! Ain’t that somethin’?” 

That’s Bendy’s. 

It’s clear that these are pre-recorded messages, but what was the point of playing them like that? To get a rise out of everyone still alive, probably. 

“Well, if I told ‘ya that y’could get a way outta this island with those boats- how would’ya feel? All ‘ya gotta do is search ‘round the island for the missing parts. But-- there’s a catch!” 

...

“Y’gotta find out who the mastermind is before y’can leave. If y’fail to figure out who it is by the end of the week, then all’ve ‘ya will die.” 

It felt weird hearing Bendy say this, when just the other day he was desperately telling the others he can’t tell them who the mastermind is - afraid that if he does, they’ll all be dead. 

“Happy huntin’!” 

and with that- the intercoms shut off.

FIND THE MASTERMIND.

and we’re hopping RIGHT into it! 

As of now, investigation on finding both the clues to the mastermind and t he boat’s parts are on. Because of how long it could take, investigation will last until either 3/3, or 3/5, depending on when the mastermind trial will be.

The mastermind trial will take place on either 3/4, or 3/6. We will take a vote to see what everyone can do. 

If there’s the chance in the mastermind trial that you guess the wrong mastermind, you will immediately bad end.

Think about the clues you find wisely. You could literally die if you guess wrong. 

All locations are opened- including the fair.

You are no longer allowed to start threads for chapter 5, unless given permission to otherwise.

Investigation will continue as it normally does. Be sure to @ the one in charge of investigation in the discord server, and we’ll get back to it as soon as we can. 

As Monokuma strolls through the beach, monitoring everything to see if everything’s alright and nobody’s breaking any rules, he notices a figure near the blown up planetarium. Growing curious, the mechanical bear approaches the figure- only to see that it’s none other than Lear Miyanoshita himself, laying on the sands of the beach...

Looking awfully, and dangerously close to dozing off. 

How curious.

“You’re aware it’s way past night hours. Right?” Monokuma questions Lear, standing where he is. 

Lear only manages to narrow his eyes towards the bear approaching him. It was clear that if he had gotten very little, to not sleep  at all these past few days. In fact- it seems as if Lear’s been out of it since the discovery of Lion’s corpse, and although Lear laughs - he looks to Monokuma with a look of sheer amusement on his face. "Last I checked, there weren't any rules against being outside at night."

Monokuma blinks. While Lear wasn’t wrong about there not being any rules against being outside at night - there was certainly a rule that Lear was very close to breaking. He pulls out a student handbook he has on him, scrolling through the rules as if trying to find the one he’s referring to. “You’re right about that- but... there is a rule about falling asleep outside of the living quarters. And, y’know. You look pretty close to falling asleep noooow?” He chuckles.

“And if I were you, I’d go back there now before you break the rules.” 

Lear doesn’t take his gaze off Monokuma. He blinks, before holding his arm - revealing a handcuff stained in dried blood attached to his wrist - clearly attached to something in the ground beneath him. Monokuma didn’t expect for that to happen - and it was obvious the little ink demon controlling him didn’t, either. 

Monokuma questions Lear if he’s feeling despair. He’s been out of it since Lion’s untimely death - and he was satisfied knowing that he was getting exactly what he wanted. 

However, Lear goes on a tangent. Saying that what he’s feeling isn’t despair. That it’s defiance - and he’s had enough of this fucking game that the bear’s been putting them through. He lays his head back, closing his eyes, as he gets in the final word. 

“I’m not playing your fucking game anymore; They’re waiting for me.” 

...and, before Monokuma can get a chance to respond to Lear properly- the bear can only watch in complete and utter silence as he lays his head back after his speech. He watches for a few seconds, watching as his chest heaves up and down to a more...relaxed state, and with a few light pokes to the cheek with a nearby stick - it doesn't take long for Monokuma-- 

 Or... rather, the person controlling the robot, to realize that he's fallen asleep.

 Lear Miyanoshita has broken one of the rules given to him at the beginning of the vacation - and talked back to the headmaster of the vacation-- 

 And he has to be punished for it. With a chuckle, Monokuma covers his mouth with his hands. 

He sways back and forth from foot to foot, as if narrowing his eyes towards the Ultimate Cryptid. He reaches behind his back, tilting his head curiously before speaking up. "Well, if y'reaaaaaaaaaaally wanna be with 'em... [BE MY GUEST.]" Monokuma pulls out a-- 

 A gun from behind his back and aims it towards Lear, his finger resting lightly on the trigger. He seems to play with the trigger for a few seconds before doing anything with it, and he continues to stare - rather wordlessly, before putting just a little bit more pressure onto the trigger. 

but not hard enough to pull it just yet. 

 "You'll be with them soon enough! Goodnight, Lear Miyanoshita!"

And with that-- Monokuma approaches Lear and presses the nozzle of the gun against his forehead lightly. A grin appears wide on the bears face as his finger pulls back-- pulling the trigger along with it, as a loud BANG echoes in the dead of the night, surely waking up those still in the hotel-- 

Or causing them to turn their attention to the sound curiously. 

 Monokuma watches as the blood pours from Lear- and watches as his breathing comes to full and complete stop. 

Lear Miyanoshita, the Ultimate Cryptid Parkour, has been punished for breaking the rules. 

Well, no matter where you were - the sounds of the speakers turning on fills you with a dread that you weren’t expecting to feel so shortly after the events of a trial. Doesn’t that bear give you guys a week break in between making his appearance, anyways? You sit in your room, tiredly turning your head up towards the speaker to listen to whatever it was the bear had to say.

“GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!” The speakers seem to be working after weeks of it cutting in and out. That’s odd, but at least it’s annoying to listen to, anymore.

“COME TO THE LOBBY! I HAVE A FUN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE! And I better see all of you there. If you’re not there, you know what’s coming.”

...Just like that, the speakers go quiet, and there’s an unspoken confusion on the faces of those who are still alive. However, they’ve grown used to this, haven’t they? Pushing themselves up and away from whatever they were doing. Slowly, but surely, everyone gathers in the lobby and can’t help but to look around towards those entering the lobby.

Everybody looked like a god damn mess. 

Too much had happened in the time frame of what felt to be a few weeks- who knew, really? It was hard to keep track of time when you’re thrown into a literal killing game. Although nobody spoke to one another, it did feel kind of assuring to know that everyone was safe, even if tensions were high.

Well, their moments of relaxation were soon to come to an end - when none other than the monochromatic bear made his appearance, standing on the lobby desk with a little spin. “Good! You’re all here. Boy, do I have some exciting news for you!” He exclaims, throwing his hands up in the air.

“...If y’don’t mind me askin’,” Bendy starts up, crossing his arms as he stares towards Monokuma with a look of confusion. “But what’s the deal with havin’ all’ve us come ‘ere? Dont’cha usually give us a few days’a cool down before throwin’ somethin’ towards us?” 

“...Usually, but I’m not in the mood for that this time around. I’m sick and tired of waiting for something to happen, so I’ve got some interesting news for all of ‘ya to hear!” Monokuma covers his mouth with his paws, chuckling behind them.

“...So you’re just going to throw another motive at us without giving us any time to rest?” Tohru looks at Monokuma after taking in a deep breath. It’s clear to everyone surrounding him how tired he is-- but nobody chooses to address it. 

“You’re saying that like as if it’s a bad thing.” ...It kind of is, Monokuma. You’re not giving any of these poor fellows a chance to relax and think to themselves.

For a few moments, everyone is silent-- including Monokuma himself. The silence is nervewrecking-- even to the bear who claims to be their headmaster, that eventually he clears his throat and chuckles under his breath. “Anyways-- you wanna know what the important announcement I had was...?”

“Spit it out, already.” Peacock hisses out, glaring towards the bear.

“Well, alright. But only cause you asked so kindly.” 

“I hope you haven’t gotten used to everyone’s company yet-- because boy, do I’ve got some news for you!” A pause--

“There’s a traitor amongst you.”

The collective silence from the guests makes the tension in the air seem to grow stronger, and no one can really seem to figure out what to say. “...Sorry?” Totoko is the first to break the silence, as her eyes scan those who are still alive, trying to find the right words to say.

“You heard me right.” Monokuma says behind his paws, a light chuckle leaving him every now and then. “There’s a traitor amongst the lot of you. One of you is pretending to be thrown into this game-- when in reality, they’re working behind the scenes and are the reason why all of you are here in the first place.”

Everyone glances around to look at each other- unable to say a word. They hold back from saying anything, unsure about how to feel knowing that... one of them is a traitor. 

Knowing that one of them put them there.

Knowing that one of them... isn’t who they’re saying they are. 

Before any of them could get the chance to speak up and ask any questions-- the bear who had been standing on the lobby desk, making a performance and laughing at their reactions to his words, had decided to get the final word in.

“And if you don’t figure out who it is by the end of this week... somebody’s going to end up dead.” 

And...just like that, Monokuma seems to disappear from the lobby all together, leaving the group in silence as they think to themselves. Nobody can say much of a word to one another, but the tensions in the air are high. Eventually, the lobby seems to disperse with everyone leaving one by  one - or in pairs. 

...One of them is a traitor, and if they can’t figure out who it is within a week, then somebody is going to end up dead.

But without any clues to know who it possibly could be...

...

Who is it? 

Ya’ll thought you were gonna get a week of rest? That’s funny! Nah. 

Welcome to chapter five of despairing vacation-- AND welcome a new motive! 

That being said - due to the fact that a motive dropped so quickly, a victim and culprit will be selected shortly. However, unlike previous chapters, you are not allowed to volunteer yourself for this chapter, as both the victim and culprit have already been selected. Keep an eye out on your DMs after this intro is posted to see if you have been selected.

As of right now, due to the fact the motive dropped right away, there is no planned date for the fifth trial of the game. However, this chapter should not go on any longer past February 4th. 

You are not allowed to start threads retaining to chapter 4 or any previous chapters. You can only continue previous threads if given permission to by the mod.

There is no new location opening up. 

The fair is still on the island, however, most of the rides don’t seem to be working anymore. The ferris wheel, however, is still working fine. Fair games are still working fine, as well. 

Although there will be no free time this chapter, you can treat the week following up to the eventual body reveal as “free time.” However, keep in mind the motive. It was revealed there’s a traitor, anyways...

Dead chat is NOT allowed to reveal who’s dying and who’s killing for this chapter under any circumstances.Be the snake that you are.

Clive lays on the floor, surprised by how weak he feels. Could the Skullheart really be abandoning him in a time like this? Did it really not care how he died? Or… could he die? He had wished, specifically, not to die on this island, but… this, this burning husk of a school, was not on that island.

His face goes paler as he loses air to his lungs, the smoke choking and suffocating him. Support beams crumble around him and flames lick at his arms and legs. He can’t even stand up, and he feels just as helpless as he knows those two teachers, the ones who had cared for him for so long, did so many years ago.

With a scream, his body catches into flames, blue and red fighting against each other, as the shape of his body crumbles away into skeletal ash, and the ceiling above him comes crashing down.

All that’s left of the Ultimate Reporter and his Skullheart are ash and the crumbling remains of a tired school, with one lone bear left to hose off the debris.

...............

The next morning arises, feeling like a big slap in the face. There was undeniably a lot of tension in the air, with the events of the previous trial still holding up. 

It had already been rather tragic for three students to die in one go, but it was another to see Totoko get stabbed almost out of nowhere - wanting nothing more than to make sure that Peacock is safe. It was another thing to see Bendy turn into...well, that, because Tougou had decided to target him with harsh words completely out of nowhere. It felt odd to see Celica lose her cool in the way she did, and it felt strange to see Peacock show as many emotions when it just isn’t like her to do that.

Maybe that’s why, in the early hours of 8 AM when everyone had chosen to sleep in, Monokuma’s voice appears in the loud speakers, startling everyone awake. Or making them look towards the speaker in their room with an annoyed expression. 

“GOO-OO-OOD MO---ING, YOU BA-- SŢA͢ŔDŞ !”

The speakers sound as if they’re...cracking - as if something about them isn’t right or something in the wiring is busted. That’s odd, but Monokuma continues to speak as if there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.

“Last night was a fun trial. Was it not?” 

Way to rub it in, Monokuma. 

“I can’t see why you guys DIDN’T think it was fun. There were sure a lot of reactions I didn’t expect to see! But all of ‘ya seem to be so down in the dumps, so how ‘bout I treat ‘ya to somethin’ instead. You guys came to this island expecting a vacation, right? Well.. how ‘bout’cha come outside and see what I’ve made for all of ‘ya?” 

And just like that- the speakers go silent, leaving everyone who had heard the announcement in a state of confusion. Slowly, but surely, everyone makes their way out of their rooms-- (and should you find yourself on floor three, you will find that the walls have smears of ink on them. Curious.) and down to the lobby of the hotel, making their way outside only to find that...

....

THERE’S A GIANT FAIR LOCATED JUST A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM THE HOTEL...?

Chapter 4 has begun! Make sure to tag your posts accordingly should you choose to roleplay on the dash. Keep chapter four roleplays in the designated chat in the discord group should you choose to roleplay there.

You may thread with dead characters, however, do remember that if you do - alive characters will not be able to see or feel them. Dead characters can interact with inanimate objects to either mess with someone alive, or let them know that they’re around. 

Free time is from now until Friday, December 15th. 

Motive drop will be on December 15th. Body discovery, investigation, and trial will happen within the following week after the motive is revealed.

You are no longer allowed to continue threads from chapter three, unless given permission.

Make sure to check our our new location too, if you haven’t yet! 

Oh, and one more thing... this is your last new location for the game. Enjoy it while you can, you bastards! You better not blow this place up, too! 

On top of all of that, the recent events that happened in just the previous day seemed like they didn’t happen at all. The door to the laundry room, that had previously been barely hanging on, was fixed. The entertainment room was as clean as ever - no signs of the fight that had previously been there were gone. Even the computer that had fallen over and taken some damage was suddenly fixed, as if there was nothing wrong with it in the first place. Even the speaker that Lear had taken while investigating was back in place, wires attached and everything. 

The doors leading to Goro and Noah’s room were both unlocked, for everyone to explore if they so choose. However, sending messages to their student ID’s will prove to be uneventful. 

Although the day had just barely started, it felt... different. The atmosphere was heavy, almost nobody seemed to want to talk to eachother. The few who did stuck to themselves, doing whatever they could to get their mind off the previous events.

Besides, there’s no way that it would ever happen again, right? Now that everyone knows what their punishment will be should they kill...

However, upon further investigation, everyone slowly begins to realize something off. The gates that previously prevented them from leaving the area with the hotel seem to be down- available for everyone to explore to their own free will.

Why don’t you take a look?

Chapter two of despairing vacation has now officially begun! Free time will be from the date of this being posted (10/5) until next Thursday (10/12). 

Although, some of you have already begun chapter two threads. That’s perfectly fine! You’re more than free to continue them. 

Motive drop will not be until Thursday, 10/12. The planned body discovery and trial will be sometime during the following week. 

Two new locations for your characters to explore have opened up. WHY DON’T YOU GO CHECK THEM OUT? 

Make sure you’re tagging your posts accordingly with chapter two so it’s easier to keep track of on your blog!

Even though Noah and Goro are dead - you are more than welcome to thread with them. HOWEVER, keep in mind that as they are dead, they will be ghosts and you will not be able to see them.The most you’ll feel is if they mess with things in the room your character is in.

As of now, you are no longer allowed to continue your threads from chapter one unless you have been given permission to from the mod herself.
