BGM: Nightmare in Locker

White walls, white floor, white everything. This is the room you find yourself in. On closer inspection it appears to be a classroom... just without color whatsoever. How did you get here, why are you here? You have no recollection, nothing at all. One moment you were living your life and the next you were here without any memories in between.

Around you are a number of other people who seem to be feeling the same way. Dazed and confused. They are picking themselves off the floor or standing out of the desk they were sitting in. Perhaps some are looking around the room, or trying to break down the walls. This odd classroom seems like it might have windows, but if there is any they are blocked off by huge bolted sheets of steel.

Either way the result is that you are trapped. In the back of your mind the name Hope’s Peak Academy is familiar. You are aware of the school and it’s prestigious reputation but it seems some people may have a clearer idea of what their relation is to it. It is about now that everyone decides the best course of action is to introduce themselves, and one by one the 10 people gathered here do so.

Kai Munchausen, the ultimate bodyguard, had never been so afraid in her life.
Being a bodyguard depended entirely on information and knowing what to expect, but this situation robbed her of even that.
She showed nothing of her hesitance on her stony face, not speaking until it was clear that it was her turn to speak.
Given her frame and towering height, most people would have thought her to be a man, but they would likely be surprised by her voice.

"Kai Munchausen, Ultimate Bodyguard." Short, sweet, and to the point. Guarding information was just as important as physically guarding someone, after all.

Nao straightens his jacket, fixes his hair and looks at the group. "Sugimoto Nao, Ultimate Basketball Player. Does anybody know what is going on?"

“Oh, is it my turn now?” asked the blonde girl. Her voice was quiet, but calm and clear as a bell. “Alright then. My name is Shimizu Aurora, and I have been termed the Ultimate Massage Therapist. Please, before you ask, I do not generally give out free massages, as each massage wears on a therapist's’ body as well. However, I have been known to take payment in friendship and good tea.” she said with a lighthearted chuckle, which stood at odds with their surroundings.

Then her face grew somber. “I’m not sure what is going on here, either, but I will give it my all to help figure it out.”

"Hmm? Sorry, I'm trying to find a signal." The young man is wandering around the room playing with his phones.Multiple smartphones are strapped onto his arms. It looks like it enables him to use many at once."This is bad. Is there even wifi... Oh right, My name is Gachari Taku. Taku is fine. I believe they said I was the Ultimate Mobile Gamer?"
He looks disinterested in the title.

"...Oh, hello. I am Mori Akane, Ultimate Botanist. Pleased to meet you all."

After introducing herself, Mori politely gives a bow. Her mind wanders off into another daydream.

"GREETINGS EVERYONE! MY NAME IS HADAKA WAFUKU. PLEASE DO NOT BE ALARMED!"
Wafuku yells this as he poses dramatically. Something is dangling.
"I HAVE TRAINED MY BODY FROM A YOUNG AGE IN BOTH MIND AND SPIRIT ALONG SIDE THE MOUNTAIN GODS!"
He does another pose. Yep, it's just right there. Dangling.
"HOWEVER I AM AWARE OF THE GAP BETWEEN OUR CULTURES. SO I ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND GUIDANCE!"
Young members of the audience please look away.
"ONCE AGAIN, I AM HADAKA WAFUKU; THE ULTIMATE NUDIST!"

"Hey everyone! If you don't know me you must be living under a rock! I'm the Ultimate Voice Actress Yuu Seiko! Nice to meet you!" She poses with v finger signs next to each eye. She is tiny, cute, and adorable.

"Aaaah, no good, no good, no gooood." The young man looked around the room he now found himself in. "What is this place?" His name was Kizami Suzuya. The Ultimate Thrill-Seeker. But what was he doing here? Nothing about this place seemed particularly interesting. And how did he get here? He did not recall. That was the least thrilling part of all. "Aah, what a pain." The young man rubbed his temples, then focused on the other people in the room. His look of annoyance was quickly replaced by a cheerful smile, the kind he usually wore when meeting strangers. "Hey, the name's Kizami. Can anybody tell me what's going on?"

"M-my name is Torasawa Aiko. They call me the Ultimate Ironman but...! It was an accident! U-um! I mean!" Aiko is a normal high school girl. She towers over everyone with a height of at least 6'8". When people are this tall "spindly" is normally the correct discription. Not Aiko. Her well proportioned body is misleading. People underestimate her strength. "Uhm... n-nevermind," Aiko gives up trying to explain and hangs her head.

I had something that I needed to do..... but what was it? Neo-DEAVA's Holy Angel Academy? No.... it was a school but what was it called........... Hope's Peak Academy?

That's right. I'm a digger. The greatest at creating holes that the world has ever seen. Andy W. Hole, the 「Ultimate Miner」

I've awoken on the floor of a strange room. There are others here as well, but I don't believe I've met any of them. Smoking hot babes don't mean a thing unless I start off on the right foot, dammit.

The doors? They're locked. Dammit. Windows? No dice. What about digging my way through the floor? Hold on, does this material even have weaknesses that I can exploit? Shit.

Well, looks like all I can do for now is to meet everyone else. They seem as confused as I am.

"Greetings, all. I am Andy W. Hole, the Ultimate Miner. The pleasure's all mine, especially to all you ladies~

Listen, uhhhh, do any of you remember anything in particular? All I can seem to recall from the past few days is the name of a school.... Hope's Peak Academy."

BGM: Momomomonokuma!

Without a moment to properly react to some of the individuals present, a loud school chime rings through the room followed by the front of the classroom rumbling a bit. Out from behind the teacher podium pops a stuffed teddy bear looking thing with an extremely terrible looking wig. It pulls out a lighter and a cigarette and tries to light it. It doesn’t light.

“Ah, hold on.” It says.

It keeps trying to light the cigarette but to no avail. Everyone is likely too surprised to say anything and there is only silence as it flicks it over and over. Eventually it looks up at everyone for a moment without saying anything and then throws everything, including the wig, away.

BGM: Mr. Monokuma's Tutoring

“Screw it, you guys don’t need some stupid new version every single game! Classic is best baby! Listen up here's the deal! You can call me Monokuma, Monozaki, whatever. You bastards are trapped here! Boo hoo! If you want out you have to kill one of the other stupid looking idiots surrounding you. Then you get to go free while everyone else is punished. The catch is after someone dies there will be a trial, and if you get found out then you lose instead.”

“But I get it, “Mr. Monokuma, I suck at getting away with murder. What do it do?” Well I am glad you asked! If you want to get your murder on then give me a call when you are alone and I will help you out. Of course I personally will never directly get in involved, it is all up to you guys. I’m just here to make sure you have a fighting chance. This is a killing game after all!”

“Anyway, I’ve said this shit so many times I’m not slowing down, so you better keep up! If you haven’t noticed already you have some nice mini tablets in your pocket with the rules to the game listed if you want to check them, and some other stuff like maps of where you have been.”

#1: When a murder is committed, a class trial will be conducted. Participation in this trial is mandatory for all surviving students.
#2: If the killer is correctly identified during the class trial, only the killer will be punished for their crime.
#3: If the killer cannot be identified, or if an incorrect student is identified as the killer, all students except the killer will be punished for the crime.
#4: If the killer survives the class trial, they are declared the winner. At which point, they will be freed and re-enter the outside world.
#5: All acts of violence toward Monokuma are strictly prohibited.
#6: Monokuma will never directly participate in a murder.
#7: A body discovery announcement will occur when the body is found and all the students will be forced to gather at the crime scene.
#8: Students may be forced back to their rooms during Nighttime if they are wandering around without reason.
#9: You are not allowed to be nude in public areas.
#10: Monokuma may add additional regulations to this list at any time.

“Looking at you nature’s child.” Monokuma rushes over and slaps something on Hadaka’s groin. It is a fig leaf, or you think. For some reason it seems like it has a mind of it’s own and moves as he does without friction. Almost like a censor bar.

After that a door suddenly opens at the back of the room and all the people suddenly fly out of it as if pushed by a gust of wind. The sting of sunlight shines down on what appears to be an outdoor theater. No, it really is an outdoor theater. There is a stage and large slabs of rock for the seats surrounding it. At first glance it doesn’t feel like you are truly trapped, although when looking up it is apparent that the whole surrounding area has a absolutely massive cage dome over top preventing any escape. On the outskirts trees create a little boundary between the walls of the cage and the buildings. From the theater you can see three prominent buildings as well as a tall hedge that appears to be a garden. It almost looks like a resort.

“You are in area 1 at the moment,” Monokuma states as he pops up. “The Sunshine building will have food and other relaxing stores, the Moonlight building has some more activity focused areas, and the garden is a garden. I have also prepared some rooms for you over in the Guest Room Building. Creative name I know. Here are some keys for each of your own rooms.”

“Anyway, that is the jist of things. Oh right. If you don’t want to kill to get out of here I have something you may be interested in,” he lifts up a colored native looking totem. “There is one of these in each of the buildings. If you guys find all of them I will give you some info regarding escaping this place without killing. I will know if you get them all so you don’t have to bring it to me.”

“But man, do you know how many times I’ve had to say this stuff?” He pauses and looks down seemingly in thought. “Maybe I should have kept that wig... Whatever, I’m out!”
He then pops away out of sight.

Everyone is currently in the outdoor theater.

Exploration Phase Start!

(Feel free to post now)

"I would like to stay and chat, but I am curious about our rooms." Nao will leave the group, head to the guest rooms, go inside then try to find his room.

>>2944
BGM: Beautiful Days

You head down the cobble path taking in the scenery. At the end of the path you can see some sort of gate, but you continue onward to your destination and enter the Guest Room Building.

Inside looks somewhat like a fancy hotel. The pathways seem to be elevated over a short stream of water that you can see through the gaps in either side of the walkway between it and the walls. The middle of the building has a surrounding structure that functions as a hedge and a fountain at the same them. There is a sheet of water flowing down the wall into the stream. The sheet is just barely covered by dangling ivy falling from the top of the hedge.

Within the middle area is what looks like a reception desk and behind it a room, judging from the door attached to the wall. Opposite of this is a more traditional fountain that connects to the streams like the rest of the building decorations. There are four sets of stairs on either side of the entrances that lead up the second floor.

You can see that on both the second and the first floor there are numbered rooms on the outside walls. In fact it seems everyone's names have been scribbled onto the name plates next to the numbers. How convenient.

"Caged in, huh? I want to see what all is around here."

I head to the gardens.

>>2946
You walk down until you reach the hedge and subsequently the small wooden gate that is the entrance to the garden.

The garden is surrounded by a tall hedge that acts like a fence. Inside the area are titled fields that have a sprinkler system built in. Further in the back are some additional areas for planting plants and a storage shed. Past that is a pond with a bridge leading over to one final shack tucked into the corner. The ground is speckled with manure and some dried up piles of pulled weeds here and there.

“HOW DARE HE! TO COVER MY FIGURE WITHOUT MY CONSENT! HE TRULY IS EVIL! NO MATTER! I HAVE TRAINED FOR THIS. AND UNLIKE CLOTHING IT DOESN'T SCRATCH MY SKIN AT ALL!”
He notices people have started to explore and decides to go to the garden.

“Looks nice, but that desk is interesting.” I look to see if anyone is there, and what is in the desk.

Kizami takes a quick look around, then suddenly bolts away at full speed. He runs a circle around the perimeter of the cage, as much as he is able to, then comes back to the main group.

"Nothing like a nice workout." He grins. Then adds: "I think I'll go take a look at the Moonlight Building."

"Hmpf, everyone ignoring me? Fine I will run off and explore too!"
I go to the sun building

>>2948
You catch up to Andy and are now in the garden.

>>2949
There is nobody working at the desk. You look behind it and find it to be mostly barren. There are some hand towels and service trays on the left and some paper clips, pens, and some scotch tape in a basket on the right.

>>2950
It takes you a while to run around so you come back to a number of people running off. Regardless, you head down the path past the garden and see Andy and Hadaka. You then enter the Moonlight building.

This building is a bit dark, and seemingly separated into different parts rather than being one joined building. There is the rock climbing area, the basement, and the movie theater. The area you are currently in is right in front of the snack bar.

If you didn’t know any better you could see yourself back home at the local movie theater. It is a fairly standard movie theater snack bar, popcorn machines line the back wall and various candy bags line the front tauntingly. However unlike movie theaters it looks like the food is on the house! Although you notice it says with the purchase of a movie using Monocoins. Looking at the movie listings shows they are showing two movies today: Nova and Evangelion (3.0+1.0).

"U-uwa! Where is everyone going!?" Aiko is flustered by this. That weird bear thing just said we had to kill each other! But now everyone is running off.

She follows the little girl to the Sunshine Building.

>>2947
"Pulled weeds that were just left there. The caretakers are slacking."

I check inside the storage shed.

"I didn't see either of those movies... But I don't have any Monocoins on me." Remarks Kizami, visibly chagrined. He cheers up pretty fast though: "Maybe there are some hidden in this basement." He attempts to explore it.

>>2951
You go around and follow the path past the Guest Room house. It appears there is a covered pathway between the Guest Room Building and the Sunshine Building. You enter through that door.

This building looks not unlike a mall. There are multiple doors leading into different styled rooms that resembles store fronts. Some of which do in fact look like they are stores after all. There is a sitting area with nice thick chairs and nice wood tables next to the entrances. As you are looking around you notice Aiko coming up to the door.

>>2953
You follow after Yuu Seiko like a little lost duckling and eventually make it as she enters the building. When opening the door you promptly rip it off its hinges.

"OH HOW WONDERFUL. MAYBE I CAN USE THIS TO SURVIVE HERE!" Hadaka looks into the pond to see if there are fish.

>>2956
"hey! What are you are doing!?" I yell at the monster girl.

>>2954
Outside of the shed there are some buckets, a wheelbarrow, and a pipe with a hose attached to it. The shed itself has one door and a window. Going inside reveals many tools like shovels and hoes used for farming. On the left wall are many stacks of fertilizer and varying types of manure. To the right is some more equipment like a lawnmower and weed whackers.

>>2955
You pass through to the other side which is a bit lighter and you see some bathrooms and some other doors before heading down stairs. There, it is mostly a single hallway with three doors, you can clearly see one labeled library but the others appear locked and you can't tell what type of rooms they are.

>>2958
Aiko tries to put the door back on. Carefully pushing it back into place. She tries to wipe away her tears.
"I-I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry! Why does his always happen!"

>>2957
Inside the pond you can see a number of nice koi fish swimming about. They look rather large. There is also some water plants and a small frog statue that pours water out of its mouth.

>>2960
As you do this Monozaki pops out.

"Wow you really did it huh. Just tore it right off! Jeez do you know how long it takes for me to fix this?"

He pauses as if he expects you to respond.

"Well actually it takes about a day. So you know." He jumps up and tapes the door together. The tape has in big letters "Under Construction" written on it.

"There, good for now. I'll fix this by the time you wake up tomorrow. Oh, but if you keep doing this... I won't be happy." With that he pops away.

Kizami decides to take a look inside the library.

>>2961
i ignore the idiot and go to the coffee shop. get some joe

>>2962
The library is somewhat dank, and not the good kind of dank.

Being the basement of course perhaps that is to be expected. Despite that it seems somewhat well kept and the books are all on their respectable bookshelves, as far as you know. You seem some sections like romance, action, mystery, the works. There are multiple rows about halfway into the room from where you entered. This allows there to be a desk next to the door although it appears to be unmanned currently. There are also bookshelves along the other three walls with step ladders that will slide when pushed along the track. In the corner opposite from the door you entered there seems to be another door.

>>2963
Chique and robust. The coffee shop is made of dark wood and the other parts using nice warm colors. The main area of the shop is the front desk and connects to the other areas along the back of the wall.

There is a large menu that shows the prices and lists of various caffeinated beverages and a few snacks. Naturally there are a few coffee machines, but also some other drink machines that look like perhaps they make smoothies. There are some other noteworthy machines like microwaves, blenders, and automatic beaters. In the corner is a door to a staff room. There aren’t too many seats here, but there is a table and a bar next to the drink mixes.

>>2952
“Nothing interesting.” Nao tries the door to the staff room.

>>2965
The door is locked. It is rather sturdy too. Makes sense, it is for staff after all.

>>2964

"Ooh, forget Monocoins. Looks like I might find a Legendary here." Says Kizami. Then attempts to pass through the new door.

"I KNOW THIS CUSTOM! I SHOULDN'T EAT THESE FISH. OH WELL!" Hadaka leaves the garden. This time he runs to the Sunshine Building.

>>2964
make joe pls

>>2964
"Something tells me this is not the only locked door around here." I go and look at my room.

>>2967
You pass all the bookshelves to the very back of the room. There you can see the window of the door small writing that reads "Files and Documentation". Peaking through sure enough you find stacks and stacks of paper and filing cabinets. It looks very dusty with a few spiderwebs as well. The door itself is locked.

>>2968
You head to the building from the left side and head in through the door. You are now standing in the sitting area... you feel like a law breaker.

You can also see the broken door and Torasawa Aiko from here.

>>2969
You look around and manage to find some instant coffee powder and some other ingredients that you are fairly sure you can use with the machines to make some "joe". As you go over to the coffee machines you reach up and barely make it half way. You can't reach for you are too short.

>>2970
The guest rooms are similar to that of a hotel. Besides the usual monitor on the ceiling there is a bed, bedside table with a lamp and clock on it, a closet which is empty besides some clothes hangers, and a bathroom with a toilet, trash can, and shower.

>>2959
"Nothing out-of-the-ordinary here. But there's another shed."

I check out the irrigation shed.

>>2972
Inside is mostly pipes connected to some big machine. You don’t know much about how this would work but it seems there are a few buttons and levers to adjust the amount of flow and when they turn on and off. Otherwise this shed is mostly empty.

>>2971
"Of course it's locked. But what if..."

Kizami heads back to examine the unmanned desk in more detail. Does it have any drawers? If so, what's in them?

Everything had been a mess so far, but Kai had not been able to keep anyone together. How was she supposed to protect anyone like this?!

>>2972

"Why can't any of you stay still?!" She'd shout at Andy, finally catching up to someone at the shed.

>>2974
Inside the desk you find some rubber stamps and dried up ink pads seemingly for taking out books. In another drawer you find some paperclips and some bookmarks that seem handmade and pressed with flowers. In another drawer you find a bunch of misc. markers, most of which are also dried up.

Finally in the last drawer you locate a lone key.

>>2971
i get a chair or box so i can reach.

>>2976
Kizami swipes the key, as well as a few paperclips. Then proceeds to try the key on the door leading to the filing cabinets.

>>2961
"Y-yes of course. Thank you! I'm sorry!"
Aiko bows and apologies over and over. She wipes he tears and she tries to find the little girl.
If she sees Seiko trying to reach she will help her. "Maybe I can make up for my mistakes!" Is what she thinks.

>>2978
You find the key on the door does in fact work and you enter the room.

Now inside you get a nice big whiff of dust. You also notice the mess of paper is covering most of the room so it's hard to tell what is really in here. You do notice some of the documents were being shredded in a paper shredder beside one of the cabinets although.

>>2977
>>2979
As Seiko goes to find a box Aiko comes up from behind and helps her out. In a few moments the coffee will be ready.

>>2980
maybe this lunk will be useful

"thanks Ako! i know this is a crazy situation but would you like to be friends?"

Last edited at 18/06/08(Fri)20:08:22

>>2980
"Hmm..." Are there any leftover bits of paper by the shredder? Is it possible to glimpse anything interesting from them? Kizami also takes one document at random from the scattered mess and glances over it.

>>2975
"Yo, you were the Ultimate Bodyguard, huh? You uhhh, got any thoughts on this predicament?"

>>2983

Kai was all but furious, looking around the shed. Then again, Kai's furious was... kinda hard to tell from her normal scowl.

"Thoughts? We're being asked to kill each other and you find some weapons in a shed. You're all running around like children. Anything in this room could be a murder weapon. We should lock this place up somehow."

>>2982
The document all seems to be blacked out with marker like a declassified document. You can see some words like Hope, Murder, and Pineapple, but you have a feeling you won't be able to get much information out of it.

However inside of the paper shredder on top of all the paper as if it were placed there recently, you find a totem.

>>2985
"What a wonderful souvenir." Kizami grabs the totem and leaves the room, locking the door behind him. He then heads outside the library, trying to use the key on the two locked doors outside, just in case. If unsuccessful, he heads back up a bit to check out the doors he passed by near the bathrooms.

>>2984
"H-hold on! Weapons? This is fairly standard gardening equipment. I would never allow these tools to be sullied with murder. I am a genius digger, I'll have you know."

Last edited at 18/06/08(Fri)20:30:42

>>2986
You snag the totem and lock the door. The key does not work on either of the doors.

Now back upstairs, the door on the right leads outside to the path that eventually leads to the Sunshine Building. The other door brings you into a towering room that catches you off guard by it's size.

Living up to its name the rock climbing room is like a giant playground built solely for rock climbing. The vast majority of the room is taken up by various different walls mimicking mountain sides with colorful fake rocks and handholds planted into it. At the top are metal bars with ropes leading around to be hook up to the climber’s harness. There are various different courses indicated by the color of the stones, larger often being easier and small being harder.

There are specific courses with timed trials where you have to hit a button at the top as fast as possible, and other areas with extreme challenges where you have to climb almost entirely upside down. There is even an area that looks like a real chunk of a mountain, and along side it are anchors and other specific tools for real rock climbing and other safety measurements.

There is a small area before all of these for changing into the harness and helmets.

>>2987
Kai didn't move from her spot. She wasn't quite as tall as the Ultimate Iron Man, er, woman, but she was still imposing.

"Everything is a weapon if you use it right. I understand that you are the Ultimate Digger, but please take this seriously... Mr. A. Hole. I'm going to find any more places we can use to store weapons or destroy them. Report to me once this place is secured."

And, unless stopped, Kai would just... leave.

>>2989
I watch her walk away before muttering to myself.

"Jeez, she'd be way cuter if she'd lighten up a bit. Oh well, guess there's nothing better to do."

I grab a shovel out of the shed and start digging a hole. Immediate left of the shed, not obstructing the path. Assuming nobody drops by to talk or stop me, I'll return the shovel once I'm done.

A deep hole, 2 meters deep and 2 meters in diameter.

>>2988
Kizami took a long look at the climbing courses...

"Not today." He then heads to the men's bathroom to relieve himself, all while carrying the totem in his hands, after which he goes to place it in his room.

>>2990
You toil away at the soil. The fresh earthy smell invigorates you. After some time you finish your hole. It's a hole alright. Along the way you happened to find some Monocoins buried deep down.

>>2991
You do your business with the totem in your hands. Gross.

You then head back down the path and to the Guest Room Building. There you find your room on the second floor, enter with the key, and place the totem on the bedside table.

The guest rooms are similar to that of a hotel. Besides the usual monitor on the ceiling there is a bed, bedside table with a lamp and clock on it, a closet which is empty besides some clothes hangers, and a bathroom with a toilet, trash can, and shower.

>>2992
"Coins, eh? With the stupid bear's face on them..." I stick the coins in my pocket.

I put the shovel back into the shed and head over to Sunshine Building. Maybe find some grub in the kitchen.

Aurora was clearly stunned, to begin with. Some crazy talking teddy bear? Who smoked? And was telling them to kill each other?

Yet she maintained her silence throughout his odd speech. Once he disappeared, she calmly took the mini tablet he had mentioned out of the small pocket that she had on the front of her skirt. Her eyes wide, she rested against the nearest surface and red through the rules. As many of the others rushed off, apparently unfazed by this terrible situation they now found themselves in, she read the rules again. And again.

Her breath started to speed up, her eyes grew teary, but then, with one deep breath, she grew calm once more. Rather than run off in a rush, she decided to investigate the area she immediately found herself in: the outdoor theater, trying to pay particular attention to figuring out where the room was that she and the others had been...blown out of?

She was quiet. She would speak if anyone wanted to talk to her, but until then she would let the others do as they wished.

Trusting the digger to take his orders seriously, Kai immediately made for the Sunshine building, going to the exercise room instead. There would likely be some dangerous objects there to hide away.

>>2994

However, she found Aurora there, and approached. "It seems someone is finally taking this seriously," she said, solemn.

"...There's a garden, huh? What a beautiful place to pass the time."

Mori makes her way to the garden and investigates the irrigation shed. Using her knowledge of botany, she will attempt to learn how to operate this mysterious machine.

>>2993
You pocket the coins, put the shovel back and make it to the Sunshine Building. Then following a quick walk down the hall you discover the cafeteria.

Inside is a long and tall room with very long benches. At the end of the room is a large buffet area that has two islands in the middle with dessert and drinks, and along the wall has maybe 40 or more different food items. You have your different meats, pork, beef, chicken, seafood, you name it. Veggies and a little bit of every country's cuisine you can think of. Just looking at it makes your mouth water.

There is a wide opening behind that in the wall and through it the kitchen can be seen. There is a door slightly to the right of the opening presumably going inside.

>>2994
The theater itself isn't much, mostly a stage and stone seats... That is when you notice there doesn't seem to be any sign of the room you just came from.

>>2995

"Oh. Hello. Ms. Munchausen, yes? I wouldn't be too concerned about the others. They may seem unperturbed by these happenings, but if one looks deeper, it's easy to see that everyones' hearts are full of chaos and fear. The untrained will react unpredictably."

She smiled at Kai. "You are one up on the rest of us, Ms. Bodyguard. Care to help me look around? That is, if you're not to busy guarding."

She pauses, looking around. "Wait, that isn't right... We came from a classroom, yes?"

>>2997
Assuming there is a working sink in the kitchen, I wash my hands.

I then go back to the food buffet and grab a plate of food. I'll sit down at the table and eat, seeing if I can catch anybody walking past to join me.

>>2996
You make it to the irrigation shed and locate said machine. After looking at it for a few moments you can tell the pipes here run throughout the garden and with a few tweaks you can probably get it to water the plants on a regular basis, or however you see fit. One of the levers can change the amount of flow, and a few can modify the mineral content.

>>2999
You step into the kitchen for a moment to wash your hands. Nice silver and shiny. The kitchen is decked out with the works. There is an island in the middle with various table tops and stoves. Hanging above are many pots made out of different materials. There are some drawers under the island as well. Along the walls are many industrial refrigerators and one corner a similarly powerful dish-washing area, the other corner has grills and deep fryers. On the far side of the kitchen seems to be a few garbage and recycling bins and a walk in freezer. You notice a surprising lack of knife racks, although there were normal cutlery by the buffet.

You grab some grub and dig in. It is to die for. But not literally. Whether you stopped to think about it or not all the food seems perfectly fine to eat. You notice a sign saying it will be stocked up every night as well.

Those words were... disturbingly accurate. Kai couldn't stop herself from looking suspiciously at her, but remained impassive. "Well put, Miss Aurora. Ultimate Massage Therapist, yes? Those are good intuitions, the kind bodyguards need."

"And... it looks like you noticed it, too. This place doesn't seem right. No classroom. No lockers. Lead the way, Miss Aurora, and I will keep watch for us."

Taku stood there. Literally everybody left him. He was used to this. If he was paying attention he would have already dashed himself; that is beside the point. He is deprived. So he must search. For a signal.

Taku walks to each building searching for a hint of a signal or wifi. If he doesn't find anything he will go to his room and cry.

You wander around hopelessly... Until you enter the Sunshine Building. believe it or not a weak wiki signal pops up labeled "MonoClub Wifi". It seems to be getting stronger close to the coffee shop.

>>3003
I try signing in and dash to the wonderful shop.

>>3004
Walking into the shop you see two of the girls from earlier, Aiko and Seiko, but I assume you don't care. The signal reaches max strength and you attempt to sign in. On the browser that pops up is a disclaimer.

You notice it goes on for a long time. There is a check box for accepting at the top.

Also there is something about selling your soul if they exist.

>>3004
Noticing the guy with the cell phone walk by, I call out to get his attention.

"Yo, uhhh Ultimate Mobile Gamer, was it? You should try some of this food, dude. It's fantastic!"

Taking a moment from being concerned about the lack of a classroom, she smiles briefly at the bodyguard. "Intuition comes with the territory. A good therapist needs to be able to be a...hmm...living X-ray, or something like that. If I can't look at a person and figure out where their tension is, both in body and soul, what good am I? For instance, I'd wager you store your tension below and in between your shoulder-blades, and in the small of your back, about 4 inches to either side of your spine, just above your butt. It's a little hard to say though, what with the layers you're wearing. Aren't you hot? Hmm, yes, you only be on watch if I'm certain that you won't pass out from dehydration. Besides, it's bad for your cartilage. Let's head to the...Sunshine building, I think was the one he said with the food? If there's food, there should be plenty of water too. I'm a little parched myself."

She looks around the theater once more, frowning. "We can come back and do a more thorough search later, maybe. The classroom has to be around here somewhere. They don't just vanish, right?"

Refusing to lead the way by more than a step, she heads off to the Sunshine building, presumably with her new friend Kai.

>>2992
" 'One of these in each of the buildings' that thing said? Maybe I'll go explore the sun next. Plus maybe there's food inside." Kizami talks to himself, heading off to the Sunshine Building.

"F-friends?"
Aiko paused as her eyes began to water. The memories of her past came back like a tidal wave. All the broken bones. The terrified faces when she went to apologize at the hospital. The isolation.
Maybe, just maybe she thought a new, special school would be different. She could not remember if this was her reason for coming here but she was starting to think it must be the case.
"Yes! I want to be friends!" She giggles happily.

"Once again, one well put," Kai responded, nodding appreciatively. Despite acknowledging that Aurora was almost right on the money about how tense she was, she didn't show anything in her posture. "And while I appreciate the concern, it is not necessary. In situations like these, it is best to be seen and heard by all. Sometimes, preventing an attack only requires you to make your presence known."

And that presence silently made a note to protect this girl. She would likely be the glue keeping everyone together if this continued. "Yes, let us focus on necessities."

Kai would follow along, expression unchanging, to the cafeteria.

"Nothing here. Screw it, I need some food." Nao will leave his room and, unless he finds anything at the fountain, then go to the Sunshine building.

>>3009
what have i gotten myself into

i drink the joe. is it strong enough?

>>3010

"I don't think there will be an attack, come to think of it. Just because some weird bear thing told us to, do you think normal people like us would just start attacking each other willy-nilly? We'd have to all be serious yobbos to fall for that."

Continuing along the path to the east, Aurora turns and goes north at the fork. Eyeballing the exterior of the Guest Room Building, she takes note of any windows, the grounds surrounding it, and if it seems generally well-kept. She doesn't tarry if she finds little of note, though.

On to the outer doors of the Sunshine Building she goes, opening them and stepping through into the sitting room. The first thing she notices is the naked boy from earlier. Apparently taking no notice of his state of dress, she walks nearby him and smiles in a friendly fashion, looking to be on her way towards the cafeteria.

"......" He accepts and signs in on every phone.

He tries some rolls on fate.

>>3006
Taku may have heard someone when running to the coffee shop... It is likely he was too distracted to notice.

>>3014
"Seems I've been ignored. Whatever, I prefer the ladies."

I keep eating.

>>3013
"Y... yobbos...?" Kai apparently wasn't familiar with that phrase, but nodded regardless. "My doubt is an asset. You do not become the ultimate bodyguard by seeing the best in others."

>>2957

Speaking of seeing the best in others... they both just saw the worst. Kai instinctively tried to put a hand over Aurora's eyes to shield her from the indecency of the naked man. Kai shot a glare at him, following.

>>3008
You make it to the building and see Kai, Aurora and Hadaka when you enter. The first two seemingly heading for the cafeteria.

>>3013
>>3016
The grounds look like someone has been working on them, there are even some flowers around the building edges. You note a lack of windows on the Guest Room Building, except perhaps a large window on the roof that likely shines into the middle of the building.

Aurora and Kai head to the cafeteria after entering the building. There finding Andy.

>>3011
Peaking into the fountain you can see some coins with the bear's face on it. Perhaps more surprising however is what you see at the top of the more traditional fountain. At the very top is a totem. However something tells you that you have to physically grab this one in order for it to be considered "found". The fountain reaches about the height of the second floor.

>>3012
The coffee is surprisingly good. The steaming aroma coils off the top of your cup and little specks of cinnamon float to the surface. If you were not awake you certainly are now.

>>3014
Ref image for results.

>>3017
Nao will snag the coins and look to see if the totem is reachable from the second floor.

"Just climbing it would be too easy right?"

>>3018
While the second floor does give you a better reach to it, you find that it is indeed still too far.

The fountain itself is too complicated to climb with normal means as well.

>>3017
"Ultimate Massage Therapist, I believe fate has brought us together here today. Indeed! It could only have been destiny~"

Nao will go to the garden and remove the hose from the pipe. Or anything long enough to hit the totem off. Knock it down, or loop the hose around it and pull.

He will put everything back in the garden afterwards.

>>3021
It is a success! The totem is cleanly knocked off despite being stuck by some sort of adhesive. You cleanly put everything back and return to the Guest House Building totem in hand.

>>3022
Nao puts the totem away in his room and heads to the Sunshine Building to scope out the exercise room.

>>3020

Kai glared at Andy as soon as they entered the room. She didn't say it out loud, but she was obviously wondering what he was doing there instead of securing weapons. Kai just glared, but let Aurora speak for herself. Bodyguards were just there to guard, after all.

>>3023
You notice Hadaka and Kizami in the main halls of the building as you enter the room.

Dumbbells, bench presses, weights, you name it. This is in every sense of the word an exercise room. The walls are lined with mirrors on every wall and there are multiple machines and equipment for about every sort of exercise you can imagine. There are rows of treadmills with televisions facing in front of each one, multiple sets of combination work out machines set up for rowing, pull downs, leg presses, etc.

Opposite the door is a line of dumbbells ranging from 2 lbs to ones larger than human heads. To the right is a compact stand full of medicine balls, skipping ropes, and other tools. Although it is quite stuffed it is very orderly and there is enough room between each machine to walk around.
