Honda noticed Jude's hesitation and thought for a minute. "I keep asking questions of you, but I need to know two things. How clean was the cut on Roy's mask, and how clean was the forehead gash that killed him?"
@Atomyk @Josh M @Chewy Rabbits @Jeremi @york

Tommy froze up for a moment. There were few things that distinguished Roy and Jason, at least beyond from the obvious. With Jason being an absolute giant of a man with rotting flesh whereas Roy had been as human as anyone else here with blue chevrons on his mask instead of red ones. But there was another difference that defined the two serial killers.

"R-Roy used the machete in his right hand. Jason's ambidextrous. Doesn't matter what hand he used it in...."

SSNbGBU.jpg


"No. Honda's right. Taking down Jason would require planning. Lots of it to account for his strength and the fact that he can vanish if you don't keep your eyes on him. But I wouldn't bother covering it up. What's to gain from putting the blame off on someone else? Not to say I killed Roy. He isn't even Jason...Just a copycat." Tommy added before turning his look towards Herbert. "Yeah, where were you?"

"If you must know I was looking for Jason. He turned into mist and got through one of the vents in the autopsy room. I figured he might have tried to escape that way. So who knows if he would have ended up in the library or wherever else? I needed to see for myself if he had gotten away. Much to my chagrin, it was the imposter instead of the real deal."

"So, you really did want to capture Jason. What for?"

"What for? Presuming you won't punch me again if I explain, it's a mystery to me how a creature in such a state of decomposition yet he still possesses enough strength to kill an average man in one blow. I needed to see just how he came to be. How someone like him could continue to walk among us."

"I'll tell you the reason. It's because I fucked up. I won't make that mistake again."

"I...I didn't meet up with Herbert until I got to the library. I was originally going to call the police on that Jason guy. Ended up getting sidetracked when on the way to the main office, I ran into Roy. Wasn't in the best shape but figured I could take him if the guy was limping and had blood running down the side of his head. Chased him to the library and ran into the others along the way."

"So, Dan and Herbert were seperated until Dan got to the library. Say Herbert...did you see anything, or anyone, in the library?"

Chapter Two DEAD END
"Who Do You Voodoo"

"Such an unsteady stream of votes, but I see that the majority followed the early lead... Maybe I won't have to gobble you all up! All this lying and confusion... it's what makes a trial truly chaotic! Despair is born from chaos, among other things, so I can't say I would complain, would you? Of course not! You want to be good boys and girls, don't you?"

Monokuma jumped from the table to land in the circle of podiums. "Fighting again? You people... Do I have to put in timeout? I swear... Let's just get to the results so that you can get your fix blood and mayhem! Now, why don't--"

"It's time tell the truth about me, Monokuma." Wanda was staring at Monokuma, shooting daggers his way with her eyes. "These people deserve to know you're full of it, and I'm not just talking about your stuffing."

"Oh?" Monokuma looked displeased momentarily at being interrupted. "What do you mean? Is it candy? I assure you, if you hit me, you'll get more than just junk food!"

"Do think I am an idiot? Wait, I know you do. Look, I'll show you." Pointing to her tag, Wanda's title, the "Ultimate Witch" was comically hanging off her tag. It seemed to be covering another name. "I didn't even need magic to figure this out. You tell the truth, or I will."

"Maybe... you can't handle the truth! What kind of lame witch are you? Babbling and foaming at the mouth as you are... It's okay, I understand the stress you're going through! No one would blame you if you start speaking on tongues!" Monokuma brandished a claw, stepping toward Wanda's podium. "Maybe you need some of Doctor Monouma's patented medicine!"

Near Wanda, Monomi was shivering.

uZW1Jgh.png


"U-Uuu... It's supposed to say Ultimate Red Reaper..."

"What?! Don't be ridiculous, sis! You're talkin' nonsense now too?"

"I was here... I was here to protect everyone..."

Kindly putting her hand on Monomi's shoulder, Wanda smiled in an effort to comfort the rabbit. Bending down on one knee, Wanda tried to probe the rabbit for information. "It's okay. I know you want to protect us. You're our teacher. You're supposed protect us. Is that why I am here? Am I here to protect them? Am I here to protect you, from your brother?"

"H-He's not my brother!"

With a great cry, Monokuma leaped from where he stood to slam a mighty punch against Monomi's face.

"Noooo! Owwww!" she cried.

P9yBvJ8.jpg


The poor rabbit went flying across the morgue and slammed into the wall. She groaned and stood to her feet, staring at Monokuma as he grinned down at her. "I'm your big bro, and don't you forget it!"

zv3oTrp.png


"No... You're the worst brother bear ever! I came here to protect everyone from you... and I even brought Wanda here because I thought she had the power to keep you away! You were trying to bring someone else, but I intervened! But... this place is so strong... I couldn't do it all..."

"No, Usami."

After taking a deep breath, Wanda exhaled slowly. Mystical energy crackled as she rose into the air.

1lpmOFs.jpg


"You did not fail. My powers, they're coming back. I can feel the magic... it's gathering, growing. It'll take some time, but it's almost over. "

Monokuma turned to Wanda, not looking too concerned about this development. He shrugged casually and raised a paw in her direction. "Your magic, huh? You know, I can make flashy displays too! You haven;t even witnessed... my true form!"

Monokuma held his ground, beginning to growl. Sparks of energy bounced off him and the room itself seemed to shake with power. Soon, Monokuma was enveloped in light.

DCN4Z6B.jpg


"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Monokuma cried out as if he was speaking to the very heavens. His yelling took up the whole room, drowning out everything else. "Come on, burn this giant despair into your very memories! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! GYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

With one final yell, a giant ball of energy was formed before Monokuma that shot out like a bullet toward Wanda.

2831837-avengers__65___page_18.jpg


"Not a chance!"

Wanda's body glowed as she focused her chaos magic. Wanda fired a massive scarlet stream, a hex bolt, at the "despair ball". The impact was massive, causing energy to break off and fly about the room.

Wanda hit the ground, tumbling over and over. When Wanda's eyes opened, she was struggling and notably weakened. After she looked around, Wanda's eyes widened in horror.

O8AQ1LM.jpg


"No...

Bolin...

... I-I killed him."

Jude ran over to the fallen body of Bolin, who had been hit with some of the stray energy. The young doctor yelled the boy's name, but there was no response. Jude knew before he even checked the boy's pulse that he was dead.

"Gyeh-heh! Upu... Upuhehehe! You see? That's where hope gets ya! Why even bother? Maybe you weren't the intended target, but you're here, and you're just as trapped as the rest of them. Your magic is no match for the darkness around you. It's eating you up, isn't it? If you decide to get uppity again... I may have to deal with you next time!"

Monokuma sighed contently as Monomi weeped behind him. He made his way back to the podiums and hopped into the middle of the circle.

PVXra2i.png


"With that out of the way, let's get on with the show. Gyeh-heh! I hope you guys don't think that little conversation will make a difference here." From the back of the morgue room, an electronic display rose for all to see. "Did you all follow the leader in the right direction...?"

The display changed to a moving image of a slot machine, the suspects' faces on the reels.

V1G6kwy.gif


The slot machine eventually stopped, landing on Daniel's face three times in a row. The text below flashed...

GUILTY

"I knew it..." Tommy muttered as he looked away from Dan and Herbert, the latter of whom looked mortified while the former seemed regretful.

"Dan... I don't understand. Why?"

"It was because of all the people this guy's presumably killed, Herbert. Who knows how many he killed on the way here? Tommy said he's been fighting him for months! I couldn't bare the thought of so many people having their lives cut short. I see that every goddamn day in the ER!"

Dan shouted as Herbert frowned. Herbert had to admit that he didn't have as good a heart as Dan did. He couldn't have cared less for Roy's victims. He hadn't known them so what was the point of bothering? If anything he was just disappointed that Roy's body hadn't been obtained.

"But I'll take whatever punishment's waiting for me. It's the least I could do for not being honest."

7C2nF1r.png


"Isn't it something that even the best of us are willing to go so far for what we perceive as right and just? Dangle something tantalizing in front of a chump... They'll kill a bad guy to promote their own goodness! Upu... It's a sight to behold! All it truly does is spread despair!"

A hold in the floor opened, and the mechanical hand was grabbing. A few in the circle let out a curse at the sight, unable to do anything else as they watched Dan be pulled into the darkness. The display changed to show Dan's fate.

He was in a desolate place, with not a soul in sight but Dan himself. He was on a lonely stretch of road, ruined buildings surrounding him from all sides. For whatever reason, the screen displayed the scene with a gritty orange filter. The whole thing looked truly apocalyptic.

Then there was the moaning. Moaning from all sides, originating from monsters that stumbled out of the ruined buildings.

ARKF9Po.jpg


Dan could see them for what they were: the reanimated dead. They were too numerous to even count, filling up the screen with monstrous looks in their eyes. Dan moved to push one way, causing it to stumble backward into a few others, but the sheer wall of undead held him up, allowing him to quickly make another grab for Dan.

With the medical student unarmed, he knew he would not be leaving this place alive. The undead converged on him, enveloping him into their mass. Dan's screams could only be heard for a few sharp seconds before the display shut off.

3JfAttX.gif


"Fuckin' disgusting," murmured Holder, still looking up at the display. "Can't we do something about this? What the hell's happened?"

"There's nothing we can do," Victoria groaned, putting a hand to her head in frustration.

Holder grit his teeth and reached for the gun holstered at his hip, but he found his hand stopping on its own an inch from the weapon. "I can't... The fuck, bear? You pullin' some voodoo magic on me?"

SOgCdak.png


"Me? Why I never... Or, no, I totally would, wouldn't I? Ain't I a stinker? Why don't you go off on your merry way, detective, for we don't need your services any longer! I'm sure my forensics team will run into again some day!" When Holder didn't move to go, Monokuma held his stomach and laughed. "You'll have to be going anyway, for it's time for my forensics team to pack up and go! We can leave the dead body... it is a morgue, after all!"

As the compulsion took over those remaining (With Jack having to Carry Zinnia), Holder watched them go. "I'll be at the casino, tomorrow. Three-Eyed Jack's." Bullet said nothing as they left.

The bus would carry the group to another place to rest, but this time it was a more prestigious location. Located just outside of town and by the lake was The Great Northern hotel.

5hGB1a9.jpg


Monokuma was out of the bus first.

"This place has rooms of all sizes! Get a good night's sleep before we continue the investigation tomorrow!"

This hotel, despite its size, seemed to be suspiciously empty. The group would find very few guests were staying there.

@Atomyk @Hospes @BarrenThin @Others?

Even though Jack Frost hadn't been able to submit a vote in time, it seemed like those who did vote voted for the right one; Daniel, someone he too had begun to suspect, but hadn't had the chance to completely confirm this before the votes were over... As there was still a possibility that the Doctor had taken the Machete, but nonetheless, it didn't matter... It looked like another person would meet their gruesome end, he shook his head, sighing a little... How many more lives would be lost before they can break free of this? Maybe Wanda had a chance, if she could just amass her powers some more... Jack Frost sighed, if only he could amass his own powers like that, but well, perhaps there wasn't much that could be done about that, with Monokuma around.

Once they arrived at the Great Northern Hotel, he quietly plopped down in a chair in the lobby, eyeing what looked to be a few vending machines, there miiight even be a few slices of cake strewn around here and there... A good place to keep in mind if he had to calm the raging Tarlotte again, but for now, he decided to try and get some rest... As well as uh... Keep a lookout for the shennanigans Tarlotte may start next.​

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Woosh she went as she vanished away.

So did everyone else.

Seeing that Kyoko was probably busy consoling Wanda, Nono decided to hang around the Zenyetta and Gumshoe for a bit more before finding her.

"So uh..." Nono asks Gumshoe, "are you like... a hardboiled detective or something? You do seem pretty hardboiled..."

Gumshoe gave a pleasant smile when Morikubo would follow him and Poison about and then pose the question. He always had a soft spot for children after all. Between Pearls, Ms. Faraday, among others.

"Heh, yeah, I guess you could say I'm hard-boiled. I've seen plenty of stuff happen in my time, pal! It gets to you at first when you work homicide, but you learn to live with it. Been through a lot of stuff in the past, like a car crash for instance. Heck, this bandage on my cheek right here? It's from a bad little cut a bad guy gave me when I was tryin' to take him in!"

The last part was a lie. The bandage was actually there because of one time where he annoyed a certain prosecutor named Franziska von Karma and subsequently got a whip lashing for his troubles, but he just wanted to look cool in front of the little kid.

gumshoe-confident(a).gif


"But don't worry, I'm not hard-boiled completely! I guess you could say I'm like... medium-boiled. Medium rare even! Mmm... Now I'm a little hungry. A-Anyway, you can trust me, kiddo! I'll protect you and your friends no matter what!"

"Sounds great, pal! I just hope that I'm not the one who..."

...

Moment of realization.

gumshoe-side(a).gif


"... Wait a minute. But even if I do get rewarded for finding a big bad murderer by myself, someone still dies. So someone has to die for Mr. Edgeworth and Ms. von Karma to not be mean to me for a little... I wonder if that's worth it... though, I mean, if you're all like a SWAT team's worth of detectives, that means that someone's gonna die no matter what since the perp has to be someone real important and prolific, so I guess... Wait, no, unless we can go ahead and try to stop the murder before it happens, but how would we... hmm."

Gumshoe sounded really conflicted right now, as evidenced by the mumbling to himself.

@Jeremi

Poison could only shrug at Gumshoe and his ramblings. "Yeah it's a bitch ain't it? We just have to sit around and wait for somethin' to happen. What can ya do?"

@Verite
 
Yurick had blanked out through most of the trial, coming in and out of focus every now and then. Another murderer put to rest. He remained quiet, and once they made it to yet another hotel/motel, he rubbed his temples and leaned against a nearby wall to think for a moment or two.

"It's good to see that Morikubo can rely on you," Nono says, "I guess Morikubo is a little hungry and tired after this whole day too. I wonder if this motel has room service..."

Nono was considering the choice of room service to bring her food, attempting to avoid socialization as seen by her expression.

"I simply thought it would only be Zenyatta at the time. However, once it became clear they would soon be flooding in, I did begin to herd them out," Jack responded as he placed their pictures aside for the moment. It had been a nice gesture by Morikubo, but the timing was completely off. Thankfully though, they were finally alone together. Feeling her tug and swing his hand with hers, he smiled, content to hear what she wished for, "Yes, I remember you wanted to tell me of something I could do to make you feel better?"


"Yes that's right," Zinnia replied, a wide smile on her lips as she continued to swing his hand for a moment. There was a slight predatory glint in her eye. You're here alone with me now and I'm lucky you're so nice. I'll get you to do whatever I want. Mwahaha! >:)

"I'll just show you what I want," she told Jack in a cheerful tone of voice. She tugged the samurai with her over to the bed. She let go of his hand and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Um--"

A blush suddenly spread over her cheeks.

Noooo, I'm starting to get all nervous now! Those idiots from before completely threw off my vibe. Darn it! Don't freeze up now, Zinnia! You don't know if you'll get another chance like this...

She gently pushed his shoulders so he would lay back on the bed. She looked down at him leaning in close to his face after a moment. When she did so, her heart started to race.

All I really want is to... show him how much I care about him. I just want to kiss him and lay here by him... Those idiots probably thought I wanted something dirty. Sheesh. For once, I have pretty innocent intentions. Hehe, not that I care what they think. ;D

Zinnia brushed her forehead against his for just a brief second before she leaned in a bit more and gently kissed him. Afterwards she rested her head on his chest.

Yes! Victory! 8D

Yurick had noticed Jack and took a moment to consider speaking with him. Or just sitting nearby. He almost missed Zael hassling him, and the rest of the mercenary group he'd grown fond of begrudgingly.

With a sigh, the flame weilder sat nearby, though made sure not to get in the other's personal space much.

@york @anybody else
 
This time, Chikage wasn't so sure about whether executing the murderer was right or not. His motive to kill was simply to kill a killer. That could hardly be blamed on him, could it? Much less with the flashy, disrespectful way these things were done. In a bit of a daze, she walked into the new hotel, not particularly looking for anything. Finding a few others, she decided that perhaps some food or something wouldn't be a bad idea.

Stiles was happy that he couldn't hear it through the door anymore and wondered what was on the TV. He flipped through the channels, passed one that said MTV and Teen Wolf.. and settled on Channel 7, which was airing the news and laid in his bed.

Chapter Three
"Fire Walk with Me"

With evening arrived, as everyone settled into the hotel and flocked into various rooms, an announcement was soon be broadcast throughout the building. It was the unmistakable voice of Monokuma.

"Ahem! Your headmaster has an important announcement to make! The last few days have been so stressful for everyone, hasn't it? Well, don't I have a treat for you! I wonder what festivities I have in store...? Oh, but I don't want to ruin the surprise! Everyone, please gather in the hotel's cafeteria! I hear they make a damn fine cup of coffee!"

As the students were ushered into the cafeteria, they would find a stage had been set up at the back of the room. Above a red backdrop were lights that lit up the stage, bathing the two stuffed animals standing below. Monokuma stood before a mic, dressed in a blue suit and tie, while Monomi stood behind him, dressed in a pink frilly dress.

lDZ4wxa.png


"Welcome to the fun time, everyone! What's fun time, you ask? Why, it's a two-man comedy routine! Say hello to my partner!"

XuMTeyU.png


Monomi looked around as if she was confused how she even got up on stage. "Ha-wha-wha! Why am I in a dress?! What--"

Monokuma grabbed the mic to interrupt Monomi. "Now, without further ado, I'm pleased to present 'Monokuma's Side-Splitting Two-Man Comedy Show!'"

"Huh? I didn't hear anything about this! Do I have to improvise?!"

"Why..."

Qfx0rQt.png


"Hello, I'm Monokuma!"

"Um, I'm Monomi...?"

"And we're..."

Wanda stood up, her chair screeched. "Done? I hope so."

"No!" yelled Monokuma, paws on his hips. "The Monokumas! Don't you want to see my mind-reading abilities, Witch?"

"Eh? You can read minds?!"

"Hmm, I'll guess your favorite food. Your favorite food is..."

Near Wanda, a woman approached, holding a pot in her hands.

PZNxSiU.png


The older woman smiled and asked, "Dear, can you please sit down? My pot is getting cold!"

Wanda tried to smile as she sat down, nodding at the woman. "Of course, miss."

The pot lady took a few steps forward but stopped suddenly. She smiled and turned to Wanda, holding out her pot for her to see.

igMI4Pr.jpg


"You should talk to my pot, you know. It might help you."

Shane, sitting nearby, scoffed angrily. "Are you fuckin' serious? She ain't gonna talk to a fuckin' pot."

Wanda looked at the pot. Unlike most people, being told to talk to a pot wasn't that weird for her. "Hello. Are you having a lovely day?"

"... Of course she agrees to talk to the fucking pot. She married a fuckin' robot. Talking to a pot is normal after that."

Monomi cleared her throat in an attempt to gather attention back to the stage. "S-So... my favorite food? It should be obvious what rabbits like!"

"Hmm... it starts with a C."

"Yes, that's right!"

"I think..."

The pot lady smiled as she lifted off the top of her pot, revealing steaming creamed corn.

"... Creamed corn!" Monokuma finished, holding up his arms.

Wanda stared at the creamed corn. For the first time on this trip, Wanda was visibly angry. "That's not funny, pot." Wanda's eyes turned to Monukuma. "I know what you're doing, bear!"

"Does the pot know, huh?"

Wanda didn't even bother to look back at Shane. "Yes he does!"

"For fuck's sake..."

Wanda stood strong, marching her way toward the stage. "You're out of your league here, Monkuma. I know what everything that is going on here. Soon enough, I will be the one with the upper hand." Wanda paused as she turned her head to the pot as if waiting for something to happen.

"Oh, that's funny! It's probably the funniest part of the show so far! You, getting the upper hand? Don't split my sides too hard! You do know I can deal with you if you get uppity? Or did you forget? I know you have the memory of salmon, but still! Like the Ultimate Snow Job or whatever, I can put just about anyone in their place!"

Monokuma giggled away, but suddenly he stopped. "... Someone shut that pot up! Yeah, shut your pothole!" The pot lady nodded at this, placing the lid back on her pot and shuffling out of the room.

Monomi was nervously rubbing her hands together. "But... my favorite food is actually carrots..."

Jude looked around the room. "Uh, so did this become a three-man comedy show? Or..."

Wanda smirked as she watched the pot leave. "I know you, Monakuma. Our powers are alike. Despair and Chaos. They go hand in hand. But I use my powers of disorder to make order. That why I'll win. That why you fear me." Wanda then walked off to take a seat back where she had been sitting. She avoided the gaze of everyone in the room.

"Is that so? It would be so unfortunate if you were to have an accident then, huh? Maybe kill another of your fellow students? You're lucky I didn't start a class trial for the last one!" Monokuma turned to find Monomi glaring at him. "What? You're always so quick to make scary faces, Monomi. You guys better be careful too. Ya know, since Monomi's actually a bad guy. She's as bad as the first villain the hero fights in some teen anime!" Monomi began to sputter, but Monokuma just continued. "Believe me, it's a fact that she's a villain! If only you were to learn what Monomi was willing to do..."

"Noooo! Stop it! This is so bad in so many ways!"

"Puhuhu..." Monokuma turned to punch Monomi yet again, the poor rabbit falling right off the stage.

"I'm through dealing with you!"

"GYAHHHH! His backhand is far too powerful!"

Monokuma turned back to the mic and cleared his throat. "What a great show! Did you like it? Love it? Or was it too high-brow for you? Either way, it's over! Please enjoy a nice meal and get to bed! Healthy boys and girls make for good detectives!"

With that, Monokuma walked off the stage, leaving the group in silence.

"That's it? That's gotta be the biggest butchering of a comedy routine I've seen in...Forever! The timing was all off, everybody up there but you felt stilted as all get out! If I paid good money for this, you'd bet I'd be wanting it back!"

Bugcat growled as he fluttered onto a table. "What was up with that ending too? If you wanted to do slapstick then you should have done it right from the start! What a rip! First you get us to kill people through your dumb voting and now you're gonna spoon feed us half-baked comedy!"

It might have been apparent to everybody else that Catbug had gone through a drastic personality change but to him? He thought he was acting perfectly natural! The idea of being nice and friendly? Gross! He'd rather claw a guy's face the second he looks at him funny! Though of course this wasn't Catbug's fault. The Reagent could have done much worse like turned him into a gibbering mess that was no better than a wild animal. Here it seemed like Catbug had reverted to a personality that would have been far more fitting for his brother Bugcat.

"The least you could have done is punch her a lot harder! Or maybe tugged on her ears a bit!" Bugcat continued to complain before letting out a chuckle. "Hehehehe, I'm having more of a laugh tearing your show down than I am at the show itself! What's that tell ya?" Hopping down off the table, Bugcat started to waddle off to get something to eat. Returning soon with a bowl of sugar peas, Bugcat held one up and grinned.

No longer would there be any more of this:

But more of this!

Gulping down sugar pears by the handful, Bugcat glanced over in the direction of Chikage. She'd been the one who had told him to shut up right? Well, maybe it was time to put that shorty in her place! Yeah, he may have laid on her head...More than a couple of times but so what? She had told him to shut up and he didn't have any witty rebuttal! So all he could do was angrily take a nap and wait out the rest of the trial! Where did she get off speaking to him like that though? It wasn't like he'd been nice to her or anything. She'd just been a good place to nap that's all.

Walking over with bowl in hand, Bugcat glanced at Chikage.

"Hey."

Chapter Three
"Fire Walk with Me"

With evening arrived, as everyone settled into the hotel and flocked into various rooms, an announcement was soon be broadcast throughout the building. It was the unmistakable voice of Monokuma.

"Ahem! Your headmaster has an important announcement to make! The last few days have been so stressful for everyone, hasn't it? Well, don't I have a treat for you! I wonder what festivities I have in store...? Oh, but I don't want to ruin the surprise! Everyone, please gather in the hotel's cafeteria! I hear they make a damn fine cup of coffee!"

As the students were ushered into the cafeteria, they would find a stage had been set up at the back of the room. Above a red backdrop were lights that lit up the stage, bathing the two stuffed animals standing below. Monokuma stood before a mic, dressed in a blue suit and tie, while Monomi stood behind him, dressed in a pink frilly dress.

"Welcome to the fun time, everyone! What's fun time, you ask? Why, it's a two-man comedy routine! Say hello to my partner!"

Monomi looked around as if she was confused how she even got up on stage. "Ha-wha-wha! Why am I in a dress?! What--"

Monokuma grabbed the mic to interrupt Monomi. "Now, without further ado, I'm pleased to present 'Monokuma's Side-Splitting Two-Man Comedy Show!'"

"Huh? I didn't hear anything about this! Do I have to improvise?!"

"Why..."

"Hello, I'm Monokuma!"

"Um, I'm Monomi...?"

"And we're..."

Wanda stood up, her chair screeched. "Done? I hope so."

"No!" yelled Monokuma, paws on his hips. "The Monokumas! Don't you want to see my mind-reading abilities, Witch?"

"Eh? You can read minds?!"

"Hmm, I'll guess your favorite food. Your favorite food is..."

Beside Wanda, a woman approached, holding a pot in her hands.

The older woman smiled and asked, "Dear, can you please sit down? My pot is getting cold!"

Wanda tried to smile as she sat down, nodding at the woman. "Of course, miss."

The pot lady took a few steps forward, but stopped suddenly. She smiled and turned to Wanda, holding out her pot for her to see.

"You should talk to my pot, you know. It might help you."

Shane, sitting nearby, scoffed angrily. "Are you fuckin' serious? She ain't gonna talk to a fuckin' pot."

Wanda looked at the pot. Unlike most people, being told to talk to a pot wasn't that weird for her. "Hello. Are you have lovely day?"

"... Of course she agrees to talk to the fucking pot. She married fuckin' robot. Talking to a pot is normal after that."

Monomi cleared her throat in an attempt to gather attention back to the stage. "S-So... my favorite food? It should be obvious what rabbits like!"

"Hmm... it starts with a C."

"Yes, that's right!"

"I think..."

The pot lady smiled as she lifted off the top of her pot, revealing steaming creamed corn.

"... Creamed corn!" Monokuma finished, holding up his arms.

Wanda stared at the creamed corn. For the first time on this trip, Wanda was visibly angry. "That's not funny, pot." Wanda's eyes turned to Monukuma. "I know what you're doing, bear!"

"Does the pot know, huh?"

Wanda didn't even bother to look back at Shane. "Yes he does!"

"For fuck's sake..."

Wanda stood strong, marching her way toward the stage. "You're out of your league here, Monkuma. I know what everything that is going on here. Soon enough, I will be the one with the upper hand." Wanda paused as she turned her head to the pot, as if waiting for something to happen.

"Oh, that's funny! It's probably the funniest part of the show so far! You, getting the upper hand? Don't split my sides too hard! You do know I can deal with you if you get uppity? Or did you forget? I know you have the memory of salmon, but still! Like the Ultimate Snow Job or whatever, I can put just about anyone in their place!"

Honda wasn't much for Monokuma's 'entertainment,' if it could even be called that. He had been perfectly fine in his room-well, not fine, in the actual sense of the word-but it was better than being anywhere near that damn bear. Every time he saw Monokuma, he saw Bolin-and not Bolin as he had been when alive. No, cold, dead, lifeless Bolin. Honda hoped that it was painless. All the death surrounding them...all he wanted was for Bolin to have least died painlessly.

The sumo considered maybe getting something to drink, or eat, but he lost any trace of an appetite gained since they arrived gone when he spotted Monomi on the ground, in a crumbled little heap. She was trying her hardest, wasn't she? Wanting to make this a fun trip, trying to keep the peace, and she was needlessly antagonized by the damn bear. It was cruel!

Honda couldn't kill the bear. As much as he would love to, he couldn't harm that damn thing. But he would defy him in another way. Getting up he walked over to Monomi, extending a hand to the little rabbit. "Hey, Miss Monomi...you doing all right?"
@Atomyk
 
Monomi had shed the dreadful dress, throwing it on to the stage in a heap. She was standing by the stage, her little arms wrapped around herself, taking no notice of the people around her. It was not until Honda approached her that the rabbit looked up, her heterochromia-stricken eyes wet with tears.

"Oh... I suppose." She let herself be picked up by Honda, surprised how much strength he exhibited compared to her. If he wanted to, he could crush Monomi into a tiny ball, which was a thought that put the little rabbit on edge. "Maybe I should be used to it. Monokuma has won. He's gonna play with you guys until you can't do it anymore and there's nothing any of us can do. He's taken my lovely students! And I'm worried about Wanda..."

"And you are going to just let him push you around?" Darv murmurs, kneeling to make himself closer to her level "You don't seem to be doing much to stop him. All you've done so far is ask politely."
The gruff knight takes his helmet off, setting it beside his knees gently as he continues "Sometimes it's not enough to have good manners. Sometimes a little force is required. You should try to fight"

"Hey now! That's no way to look at things!!" Even if he didn't feel like his usual, jovial self, Honda sure as hell would act like it!! As hard as it was, seeing someone who had been cheerful and trying so hard to keep hopes up now tell him that there was no point? No way!! He would mourn for Bolin when they were all safe. But for now, to keep them safe he needed to keep up morale...even if somewhat forced here and there on his end.

"You heard Wanda, his time is coming! He hasn't won, he's only prolonging his inevitable defeat! Speaking of Wanda, maybe we could check on her, huh?" Truth be told, Honda was worried about her too. That power she had must've taken a lot out of her, and then...she had said...

"I killed Bolin..."

Oh, crap! Wanda didn't think...oh no.
"And you are going to just let him push you around?" Darv murmurs, kneeling to make himself closer to her level "You don't seem to be doing much to stop him. All you've done so far is ask politely."

@Atomyk
@Yun Lee
"Hold on! Now, as much as I enjoy a good fight, this isn't the time! Don't you remember what happened to-...what happened when Wanda attacked him."
@Atomyk @DapperDogman
 
Wanda wasn't too far from Honda and Monomi. She felt, in her very being, she need stay away. However, when Darv, Wanda couldn't help but correct.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, Darv. We need people like Monomi, the good people, the light, to not change. If she fought back, she would lose. She could die She trying to protect us, after all. We need her. We're her students, and she loves us."

Wanda turned from the group slightly, here eyes looked towards the doorway. Wanda seemed to be waiting for something.

@Atomyk @DapperDogman
"But Wanda is a student." Darv explains, turning toward Honda "Monomi is a teacher, the same as Monokuma."
The knight pauses briefly, before placing a hand on the small rabbit's head, and tussling her ears gently. He then stands and replaces his helmet on his head
"I am sure you will take control of your students back soon enough. Do not fret too much on the now, look to the future."
