Chapter One
"Monokuma"
It isn't before long that the monitor on the wall flashes to life.
It displays static momentarily before emitting a bell chime--
*Diiing dooong, biiing booong*!
Then, a logo appears on screen...
... Followed by some basic text.
"Congratulations on enrolling! A new term has begun... A fresh start! This school will become the world you guys live in.
Assemble in the gym immediately. The entrance ceremony is about to begin!"
You hear the audible *click*! of the door unlocking and a map on the monitor displays where the gym is located. With no other choice presented to you, you're forced to leave the room, where you find yourself in a long hallway eclipsed in a neon purple light. The doors are silent during all of this, though Room a's door goes a little weak at its nonexistent knees as Bayonetta passes it by.
Exiting from the other rooms lining the hall come other people, and you learn that the number of people trapped here are far more than you had at first thought. As a group, you all make your way to the gymnasium. Even if some of you try to open the other doors, you find that they are all locked. The only room available to you all is the gym, where the entrance ceremony awaits...
The first thing you all see is, well, what appears to be a stuffed teddy bear. He tilts his head slightly to the side, waiting for you all to pile in.
His mouth is set into a wide toothy grin-- Or, well, at least one side of his mouth is. He soon starts to move, rocking back and forth on his feet like he was a bored child. It is then that he raises his hands into the air and says, "Hiiii there! It's nice to meet you all!"
He pauses, maybe to let that sink in. His voice is high-pitched, almost squeaky. It's an appropriate voice for what appeared to be a talking teddy bear. After a moment, the expression on his face turns curious again. "Hmm... Some of you guys looks so confused... Your mouths are open like dumb salmon!"
Then, his expression turns nasty.
"Haven't you ever seen a talking bear before? Didn't you watch Saturday morning cartoons?!" He taps his foot against the gym floor, the sound emitting a soft honking sound. "And don't think I'm just some toy! I'm cute, soft, plush, and made of the finest technology! I'm much more than the average bear! I'm Monokuma!"
He grins now, brandishing his claws.
"You got that?"
He seems to be done now, but quickly the bear continues without waiting for anyone to respond. "Anyway! Now that you're all here, our ceremony can begin!" Monokuma then raises his hands and jumps into the air, signalling speakers to drop from the ceiling and land neatly on the stage. Looking up, you'll find no source of where they came from.
Monokuma makes a grand sweeping gesture and music begins to play...
"Welcome to your new life with me, your headmaster Monokuma! I'm sure you guys are all dying to get your hands on some free tote bags during the orientation, but I actually have something
even better!"
Alarmingly, numerous metal poles extend from the ceiling. At the end of each one is a clamp that is holding on to a small handbook. Each metal arm extends to each of you, not leaving until you've taken the handbook from its grasp. Flipping the cover will light up the screen, showing your own face.
"Some of you guys are from poor primitive places and you might be a confused by these strange objects! You poor poor things. Don't worry, it's not any sort foul magic!" The bear rubs his hands together. "Or maybe all technology is foul magic when you think about it. Some food for thought! See, you're already learning in your new school environment!"
"... Ahem. Anyway, just swipe your hand across the screen to get an intrusive look at your peers! Each handbook is tailored to your own fingerprints, so be beary careful not to lose them as they are integral to a healthy school life!" As you swipe the screen to see what Monokuma means, you find
profile information stating the names, titles, and basic personalities of everyone around you. "It gets even better," Monokuma continues, his red eye shining. "Pressing the button at the side will give you a handy dandy map! Aren't I the best?"
"Oh, my... You guys
still look so confused! Such dim students. You really do need a semester here!" The bear waves his arms around, grinning. "I'm your mentor! Your sensei! Your Obi-Wan Kenobi! So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them!"
