Danganronpa Superpowered Roleplay (Open!)

[geno]

Hajime Hinata
As Kiibo runs off towards the labs in search of a shopping cart and a blanket of all things, Hajime decides to sit down next to Shuichi. Resting his hands behind him, he leans back, letting out a sigh. It's shaky, filled with both worry and frustration, both due to the recent events. How much time is left? The question hasn't left his mind since the morning, no matter how much he tries to think positively. Kiibo will be back soon, yes, then Korekiyo, Kazuichi, and Komaru will arrive and they'll try to break down this barrier and they'll discuss what to do about that motive...

A shudder racks his body, despite it being the perfect temperature outside. Another pang of nervousness strikes his heart, whether from the deadline or their situation, he doesn't know. He taps his fingers on the grass, hoping everyone will arrive soon.

Himiko Yumeno
Himiko catches the strangest sight as she finally takes a step out of the cafeteria. Kiibo is running through the hall at record speed, pushing around a... shopping cart with a blanket inside? She has to blink to make sure she's not seeing an illusion, and when she concludes it is indeed real, teleports to intercept his path.

Before she can comment on Kiibo's shopping cart adventures, a faint shout echoes through the hall. "...which one of you devils has done this?!" She recognizes the voice as Gundham.

A strange feeling settles in her gut and her hands get clammy for reasons she cannot explain. There's no way this has to do with... that. Wall Crasher's hamsters probably ran away, she thinks. Ignoring the bad feelings, she tilts her head and narrows her eyes at the teen in front of her. "What's he talking about?" Kiibo wasn't running from the direction of Gundham's shout from the gym, but maybe he still has a grasp on the situation.

K1-B0:
Kiibo yelps and comes to an abrupt halt, his shopping cart stopping only centimetres away from Himiko. What was she thinking? He could have killed her with this shopping cart! In his mind, he envisions her being sent flying through the air—okay, maybe that isn’t a realistic outcome, but it still would have hurt a lot. Himiko does not look like a very sturdy girl.

Gundham’s shout distracts him, quickly followed by a chill he shouldn’t be feeling indoors. His hands clench tighter onto the shopping cart. No, the temperature has not changed. That must have been an emotional response. Fear? In that category, yes. Nervousness? Too mundane. The word reminds him of his first day at school. No, this feeling was more... instinctual. And more importantly, what prompted it? Could he be malfunctioning? He checks his error log but his last error is from yesterday when Monokuma broke his leg.

“What’s he talking about?”

“Huh? How would I know?” Gundham is an enigma who, as far as he knows, only associates with his hamsters. Still... They should probably check on him. Kiibo parks his shopping cart on the side of the hallway and heads towards the noise. He makes sure Himiko is coming too; being alone suddenly seems like an exceptionally bad idea.

This way. To the gym. Like the first time, he opens the door slowly, carefully.

First he sees Gundham, his back turned to them. Kotoko’s bright pink hair also catches his eye, and—

Ding dong, dong ding!

“A body has been discovered!”

SHUICHI SAIHARA:
His hands suddenly feel clammy and Shuichi tries to surreptitiously wipe them on the grass. Why is he feeling so unsettled all of a sudden? He forces himself to take a deep breath. Kiibo should be back very soon, and Komaru’s group too. No one is giving up. He's not going to be the person who falls apart on everyone.

“A body has been discovered! Everyone, please gather in the gym!”

This-this can’t be happening. Shuichi takes a shaky breath. In and out. He looks at Hajime, wide-eyed, and then towards the school building. He rises to his feet, slinging Jataro over his shoulder, and makes for the gym. Quickly, now.

Makoto Naegi

The brownish haired boy hummed as he waited with the others, hearing something about a cart. He shrugged at that, then waited for Kiibo to get it and come back. He sighs and shakes his head, trying not to think...Then he hears that darned announcement! He shudders as he stands, brushing himself off. He follows the others back in.

Komaru Naegi

She tilted her head as she noticed how Kazuichi stuck to a corner of the room, and watched the both of them closely. Well, he seemed to be mostly keeping his attention on Korekiyo, though. Shrugging, she shook her head and glanced to Korekiyo as well. She wasn't going near those bottles...neither was he.

She hummed to herself as she glanced to the desk and the book on it, then glanced to Korekiyo. He walked over there to pick up the book, and she dipped her head a moment. She was glad she'd found what he'd needed, and he'd seen it too. She nodded to the long haired, mask wearing boy, saying "Okay, let's go to the library. Oh, yes, I'd like to talk again very much," she said with a nod. She moved to follow the boys then.

Korekiyo Shinguji

As the three are leaving the lab, Korekiyo hears Gundham shouting.

"Oh dear. We'd better go and find out what's going on," the masked boy says, a little irritated that his trip to the library had been cut short before it even began.

Kazuichi Soda

"I-I have a bad feelin' about this..." Kazuichi trails off, feeling his heart sink.

"As do I..." Korekiyo agrees.
Just then, they hear the body discovery announcement.

Knowing that Kazuichi is about to freak out, Kiyo gently grabs his hand.

"Stay calm, it could simply be a false alarm," the masked boy says.
Kazuichi doubts this, but, reluctantly, he allows Kiyo to lead the way to the gym.

Komaru Naegi

She continued to hum quietly to herself, shaking her head, wincing a bit when she heard the shouting. She swallowed, feeling a shudder run through her...They were inside, and it wasn't even cold in here. What the hey was going on?

She listened to the boys speak, sighing softly and shaking her head again. She jumped when she heard the announcement, now understanding why she'd shuddered back there...She swallowed again, whimpering a bit, but forced back the sound. She kept her head down so they wouldn't see her face, following...

Himiko Yumeno
Himiko follows Kiibo on foot. Normally, she would have just teleported there, but... something is off. Way too off, like a high level wizard just set a curse on the surrounding area. It makes her put in work, but she sticks close to Kiibo throughout the halls until they arrive at the gym. And when they do get there, she peeks from behind Kiibo as he slowly opens the door.

She’s first met with two people, Gundham and a girl who Himiko thinks she hasn’t seen yet. Her pink hair reminds Himiko of bubblegum. She looks to be around Jataro’s age, which is strange. Another kid?

Bells toil in the middle of her thoughts. An announcement plays through the building’s speaker system. A body has been discovered, and students should make their way to... the gym?

She has to look down to see him. How did she not notice the sprouting wood from the floor before? Maybe it’s an illusion, she thinks, that just appeared before them. Monokuma has to have exceptional powers to be able to block her off from teleporting out, so who’s to say this isn’t another power he has?

Still, the denial doesn’t stop her from shifting from side to side. There’s a part of her that knows this is real, but she refuses to acknowledge it as she turns her head away from the scene.

Hajime Hinata
...What?

His throat feels dry. Did that announcement just say what he thinks it did? He must have misheard... but if the faces Makoto and Shuichi make as he looks between them with wide eyes mean anything, they misheard it the same way he did. There’s no way, though— no way that could have happened! It’s not even noon yet— would someone really choose to—

With unsteady arms, he pushes himself off the grass and follows his friends to the gym. He’s never been there before, and if he has to associate his first visit with this, then... well. The walk there is tense, and everyone is too focused on their own thoughts to talk. Shuichi looks like he’s having trouble carrying Jataro the entire way there. Hajime would offer to help, but he’s not sure he would be better fit for the job with the amount of shaking his hands are doing.

When they do reach the entrance of the gym after the walk that seemed to take a lifetime, Hajime pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath. Do they really want to do this? To go inside and possibly see... no, no way. It’s impossible, no one is dead! With a shout, he swings open the gym’s door...

...to be met with the evidence proving him wrong. He’ll never forget the sight. He pales, taking a step back from the crime scene. Someone really did start the game. If this is a nightmare, he’d like to wake up now. There are other people around— he can see their legs in his peripheral vision— but he can’t take his focus off the announcement’s subject.

[KookyKooky]

Monokuma falls down from the ceiling and gets shattered into abton of bolts right before everybody, and while they are distracted by the decoy he appears on the stage. "Puhuhuhuhuhuhu, looks like I didnt have to start this killing game! This is excellent!" The bear laughs as he talks "After a certain amount of time, which you may use however you like, the class trial will begin!" * I dont want to write this but Monokuma explains the class trial rules * "Remember, if you find out which one of you sick freaks murdered this boy, you get to see them executed! Bye!" The bear disappears, but not before handing us a thing called a monokuma file, and leaving everyone to investigate the body and find the killer.

Korekiyo Shinguji

As Korekiyo enters the gym, his gaze immediately lands on the body on the floor.
He glances at his pink-haired companion, who is clinging onto his arm again, eyes wide.

"Th-this c-can't be real..." Kazuichi whimpers, "th-this h-has to be a n-nightmare..."

Kiyo gently removes his arm from Kazuichi's grip, instead placing it around the pink-haired boy's shoulders.

"Well... this is certainly an interesting turn of events," the masked boy murmurs, mostly to himself.
He hadn't expected that anyone here would actually do something like this, besides Monokuma of course.

[Spiritstar3]

[sorry for Ooc, but did Kotoko kill Kiyotaka? It was Taka, right?]

Makoto Naegi

-next post, getting Komaru out of the way first-

Komaru Naegi

She forced back another whimper, swallowing bile along with it. She refused to be sick, she refused, she...She made a sound of distress as she saw the body, and since the boys with her were focused on the body and each other, no one was comforting her. She closed her eyes a moment, then shook her head and looked for Makoto. Finally spotting her brother, with Shuichi and Hajime of course, she rushed over there and bumped into him, shaking her head again.

[KookyKooky]

OOC: Taka/Kiyotaka is dead, that is what I will reveal. Just gather the clues at the scene and during the class trial you can guess at whos guilty))
