It was during her interactions with Natalie that Ken had spoke up again, jokingly saying that it was pleasure to meet himself as well. Perhaps he was a narcissist, but he later joked saying it was nice to meet her as well, giving her the Nickname Nao. This isn't the first time Naomi had heard of such a nickname either. In fact her family and friends back home called her that. Speaking of her friends and family she wondered what they were doing right now. Her mother must be worried sick wondering if she made it Estorra safely. And Mari must be waiting by her phone for the pictures of Estorra being sent to her. Yet there was no connection what so ever. She may find a way after the ceremony was over for all Naomi knew. While conversing with Natalie she felt her nervousness and the feeling of being Meek die down into calmness and friendliness. This was the side of her that if people conversed with Naomi she would ease and be more interactive. Whenever interacting with that same person the feeling of Meekness would be gone completely. This was some of the few virtues that Naomi had.
Naomi had also decided when coming to Estorra she would open up more and be more outgoing. It was time for her jump out of her comfort zone and be more adventurous with her interactions. And Interacting with Natalie was the first step. ....At least that was the Idea until a boy voice came into the gym.
"Good day. My name is Gen Kaitou and I'm the Super High School Level Magician. I assume you are a portion of the students in the 95 class?"
It was then the voice of a new person caught her attention. Looking over Natalie, she spot a boy with glasses wearing dark clothes. Nodding at his question, she squinted at him for a brief moment. Kaito? She had heard that name from somewhere before. Come to think of it she heard of a Phantom Theif of that name..but that may have been about an Anime rather than a person. She sat right back down as another voice appeared, this time of a female.
"My name is Sora Arakida, the Super High School Level Helper! Please ask me if you need anytime!"
A small girl appeared behind Gen, greeting herself as the Super High School Level Helper. Naomi didn't see her title-nor name-in the basket. Not to mention having a talent in just helping others surprised her. Not to mention, the girl was wearing a Maid's Outfit which looked rather cute on her. And Noami had no shame in admitting it either. After all she swung both ways. For the most part, she seemed easy to interact with, and Naomi kept that in mind as another female voice entered the gym.
"Holy moly look at the bunch! Hiya all! I'm Amelie Dubois! Faux et Mee t donc! Faux et Mee t donc!"
The next voice to appear was a loud one. With an appearance to match a eccentric girl with green hair with a red hoodie appeared with her introduction, saying something in French Naomi couldn't understand. Maybe it was 'It was nice to meet you.' Or Maybe it was Maybeline, who knows. Wait-Why was she mentioning Makeup? That was weird. She figured Amelie would be a friendly individual to hang out with-maybe a bit 'Get in your personal space' kind of girl-but Naomi would have to learn that by interacting with her, something that Naomi struggled with greatly.
"Je suis Chantelle de Blois but you can call me Chanty (Shan-tee) or Telle. I am the Super High School Level Fashion Designer. Oh and this.. Is Monsieur Snuggles, my companion.We cannot wait to make you all so fashionable!"
And so the Fashionista arrived. Naomi just didn't expect the girl to be....small. And carrying a stuffed bunny no less. She was around the same height as Naomi however, but even then she was taller than the green haired girl, but only by an Inch.
Maybe she's younger than me.. She thought, remembering how the girl said she would make everyone look fabulous. To be honest she wasn't into that sort of thing, following trends or what the most recent dress was in season. She liked what she wore and wasn't one to follow others. In fact, it would be a shame if everyone did. Putting that aside however, she figured she'd try to befriend her-although felt she wouldn't get along with the small girl. And Naomi really didn't want to make enemies during her time in Estorra.
"Hello, I'm Alexis and I guess I will be your new classmate."
The next one to introduce himself seemed like a nice guy. He had red eyes and glasses. And judging by his name she remembered seeing his name and title while looking around for her letter when she first arrived. She recalled he was the '
Super High School Level Engineer'. Like Gen, he seemed to be a calm individual-a trait Naomi liked. Don't get her wrong, she loved eccentric and outgoing individuals. After all, Naomi had Mari-who was probably the most eccentric out of all her friends back home. Another person that's calm to interact with.
That's good. Naomi mused as a another female voice appeared-this time a older one.
"I'm Doctor Suyong Park. We'll be together for the rest of the year, so it's nice to meet you."
The next person to introduce themselves was someone Naomi recognized from the news. Suyong Park was a prodigy in the Medical department since she was young, and her many achievements were spread across the world. Noami had heard about her once one day while her mother was watching the news, but this was before leaving to school. Naomi also faintly remembered seeing her name on one of the letters with the title '
Super High School Level Doctor'. Yet the only thing she questioned was '
How did a someone who graduated college come to this school?'. She'd most likely find out later, if Naomi decided to ask her. She seemed friendly enough to interact with too. And then a loud male voice boomed into the gym, making Naomi wince.
"Greetings suckers, the one truetalent has finally appeared! You mayall bow- ooh, nice hoodie Miss Creepy chick! Almost hides ya ugly mug!"
♪ Here he is....The Biggest Douce of the Universe ♪
No. Stop that. Naomi scolded herself internally as a boy with sea green hair and yellow eyes made his boisterous loud entrance into the gym. Unlike most of other students however he did not state his name. But judging by his Arrogant and Boisterous personality he may hold the title of '
Super High School Level Extreme Sports Athlete'. It was far-fetched, but her assumption was confirmed when he introduced himself to Natalie-while running right in front of her. Rude. Naomi's eyebrows furrowed as Naomi looked past the boy named Ryder Laurence to see Natalie walk off to Chantelle, taking interest in her bunny-Monsieur Snuggles. Ryder then headed off to interact with Amelie-also known as the girl he called "ugly". As much as Naomi thought of befriending him, she decided against it. She never really liked Jocks-and she figured he'd be a nice Jock to, since nice not narcissistic full of themselves jocks do exist. Her disinterest in Jocks started back in Middle School-seeing how Loud and Obnoxious they were. But of course, they were Middle School Jocks. Ryder was a High School Jock-something Naomi hadn't seen. Although according to her sister when she was alive her friend had a High School Jock boyfriend who turned out to be a royal jerk.
Maybe...He'll be different. Hopefully? Naomi thought, clinging onto the small hope of them getting along.
Naomi looked around the gym again, noticing a few students who hadn't introduced themselves. The first was a girl wearing white and blue with a muneate on top. She looked to be an Archers, and remembered seeing one with the name and title.
Celine Ma - Super High School Level Archer.
Naomi wasn't sure if she wanted to interact with anyone, until Ken has approached her and conversed with her. The second student was a blonde boy with green eyes who stayed in the background. What his name was or his 'title' was still unknown. The third student Naomi noticed had approached had approached Suyong and brown hair. Like the blonde-haired boy, Naomi had no clue on his name or 'title'. The fourth student to enter the gym ran in and greeted everyone-although didn't say his name. He had brown hair and green eyes, and his outfit looked rather....trendy. The fifth student to appear had alarms going off in Naomi's head. The words "
STRANGER DANGER" rang in her head as a tall man with black hair and wore a long black coat entered the gym. There was something about him that felt....off to Naomi.
Oh no...is he gonna kill us? He looks like he might kill us. Oh god he's gonna kill us. I have to go, get out of here before– her small thought of panic was halted when a familiar individual approached her.
"Hello, it's been a while. I'm Doctor Suyong Park. I believe we've met in the past. At the very least, I know your parents and aunt. I'm sorry to approach you, Miss Aries. I just wanted to introduce myself personally."
Dr. Suyong Park-The well known youngest Doctor in history-was talking to Naomi. Naomi couldn't help but slightly squeal internally as Suyong's soft smile calmed her down from seeing the man in black. Naomi would hate the idea of him trying to kill everyone-or worse-him being a serial killer. You see, Naomi has Foniasophobia-or the fear of Serial Killers and/or Murderers, something Naomi picked up during when she was Kidnapped by Rusian Lukas. Just the thought of a killer near her can make her break out into a anxiety attack, thinking irrationally, and even doing something reckless. Yet seeing Suyong's smile and hearing her voice relaxed Naomi from suffering a breakdown. Putting that aside however, she remembered hearing her address Naomi by her last name-and state she knew her parents and aunt.
Wait...how...? Naomi thought and remembered the doctor in front of her saying met in the past.
.....WHEN?! Naomi had never even remembered seeing Suyong in her past. The only time Naomi swore to seeing the doctor was on the news and that's it! So how did this doctor know who she was, and know about her family?! Then again, Naomi was busy a lot with POPSUGAR-not very busy of course-during her time in middle school. Maybe they met then and she forgot? Come to think of it, she remembered her parents talking about a family with the last name 'Park' before. Wait.
WAS THIS THE 'PARK' THEY MEANT? Naomi couldn't believe it. Right in front of her was the well known Doctor Suyong Park stating they knew each other in the past, and Naomi didn't even know!
Thanks Mom and Dad! Now I'm placed in this awkward situation! Naomi screamed internally as a wave of awkwardness overcame her. Great. Now what to do? It's not like Naomi can say 'I'm sorry but...I don't remember you.', that might upset her! Feeling a drop of sweat from her forehead she tried to stay calm about this, but her nervous smile and voice gave away that Naomi had never seen her in her life.
"A..ha..Yeah. Nice to see you again too." She nodded, her shaky voice and nervous smile was clearly obvious, and Naomi was certain Suyong was getting the idea. Sighing, Naomi hung her head in shame, too embarrassed to even look at her.
"I'm sorry. That was too obvious wasn't it?" she asked, her voice returning to normal and poked her fingers together.
"I remember my parents bringing up you in the past, but I don't think we ever met properly. So I'll say it now. My name is Naomi Aries-although you may know that. It's nice to meet you." With a smile and small bow her eyes wandered to find the rays of sunlight from the Windows that were on the gym floor were gone. Looking up to the Windows on the left side of the gym, her baby blue eyes blinked at the sight of the Windows, the hue changing to a pale sickly blue.
The gym windows were embedded with thick iron plates.
Wh...What the? Was the first thing that came to mind from Naomi. She looked back at Suyong, her sickly pale blue hues remaining and a look of fear that was plastered on her face.
"Hey....you don't think..." Naomi started, her voice clearly shaky and scared. But before Naomi could continue-there was a loud '
SLAM!' That got everyone's attention, and the entire group went silent.
'SLAM!' 'SLAM!'
Both exits to the gymnasium were closed abruptly, and from the look of it-automatically too. Grabbing her bag, Naomi slid off the stage and walked quickly to the door, trying to push it open-but to no avail. She tried again and again until stopping, looking back at Suyong. She wasn't sure if it was a good idea to state they were Locked in the gym. Maybe it was part of the ceremony?
No. That's not it. This doesn't feel staged. This feels... She thought, looking back at the door.
"Then, why is it locked?" She muttered quietly, her eyebrows furrowing-question what was happening right now. She looked up at the right upper corner to find the security surveillance camera look straight at her. It Surprised Naomi enough to make her trip and fall back on her bottom-her irises becoming small at the shock. At the same time, each of the cameras booted up at well and looked around the room like crazy-analyzing every student until facing the stage.
"What the heck is going on?!" She yelled as a loud feedback from a microphone boomed over the gym, making
Naomi cover her ears and wince in pain.
"Ah. Ah. Testing 1, 2, 3. Testing 1, 2, 3. Hellooooo? Can anyone here meeeee?" A cheerful voice came over the speakers that we located on the left and right walls of the gym.
"Huh?" Naomi weakly said, and there was a brief silence-until the same voice was heard again.
"Ah! Good you can hear me. You know what they say, if one says something then everyone can hear you!" The voice claimed with a odd laugh. Naomi struggled back onto her feet, looking at the direction of the left speaker on the wall.
"Right okay then-A-Hem! Let's try that again shall we?" The voiced asked, and just like that silence filled the room again. It didn't take Naomi to figure out that was obviously not the Headmaster's voice. She had heard the headmaster's voice before, and it didn't sound anything like.....
that. Her attention is then brought to the front of the gym like the rest of her classmates. And that's when their collective nightmare began.
The camera moves slowly down, appearing to be in the back of the gym with the 16 students. All of them looking at the stage with looks of confusion and or fear as the camera zooms past them and heads straight for the stage. From behind the podium appeared a "teddy" bear with one side white and the other side black fur. On the black side there was a red lightning bolt eye and a giant wide smile and on the white there was nothing. The white looked nothing but what a normal teddy bear would look like. Jumping out from behind the podium the bear slammed back down and sat there-a small bit of feedback coming from the microphone on the podium.
"'Ello, Hi there, Kon'nichiwa, Hallo, Merhaba, Hola, Dia dhuit, Nǐ hǎo, Yeoboseyo, and Bonjour 95th Class of Estorra Academy! My name is Monokuma. And I am your school's Headmaster!"
It spoke. The black and white bear that addressed itself as 'Monokuma' spoke. The entire gym was in absolute silence. No one said anything for about a few minutes as the group simply stated at the monochromatic bear on stage. Naomi balled her left hand into a fist. She was still trying to comprehend on what had happened in the past few minutes. The Windows to the gym now had Iron Plates on them, the gym doors were automatically shut and are locked, the cameras spazzed out and looked around the room analyzing everyone, and now-there was a black and white teddy bear that was on the stage claiming to be the school's headmaster. Naomi wasn't sure to either laugh or be furious and question what was going on. And yet, neither did not come out. Instead The only thing that came out was,
"A....Teddy Bear?".
"Hey, I'm no teddy bear! I'm Monokuma. Your school's Headmaster!" He sternly replied, raising himself up.
"Nice to finally meet you all!" His voiced returned back to it's cheerful demeanor as the entire group was stunned back to silence again. This....
had to be staged. There's no way in heck there was a talking bear claiming he was the headmaster. There's no way. But...this didn't feel staged. Monokuma's appearance looked far to disturbing to be considered something the school would use. So why was this happening?
Is this really real? And if it was, what did this 'Monokuma' want? These questions filled Naomi's head as her eyebrows furrowed at the bear, listening to the rest of her classmates chime in now that Monokuma's introduced himself.
"The Prologue is almost coming to an end Boys and Girls! Now the Real Show can Begin!"
