43Hi! I'm back! I decided to change the updates schedules, I talk about it more at the end, and the reason why and all. Thank you for your patience anyway! And also Retty L for asking me what was happening. It gave me an extra kick to begin earlier!
Review replies!
ShadedLyth: The fact that they can't even try to leave due to being underwater allows me to skip the 'Let's try to find a way to get out that isn't the big locked door!' investigation, and since we already saw every place in the intros, I'm glad I can! :P I do want to give people screentime before their deaths, and that's why I'm gonna try to get quite some FTEs and such before the first victim. I didn't notice the one I call by their last and others by their first.. Perhaps if you could pinpoint them to me? I might have gotten an order of the name wrong!
bluesnowkitty: I forgot how to put up a poll correctly so the FTEs gonna be next chapter. :P Grammar is hard. I'm pretty sure I would fuck up the this/that thing even in French. If there would be a difference between both, which there isn't, when I actually think about it... Probably why I thought this was the only you could put. Everybody want to see more of their OC! XD I completely understand the feeling! Hibiko's god complex is really fun to write too! XD Thank you for all your compiments, btw! I don't understand the stigmatization against anime, really.. It's just cartoons made in Japan. That's it. There's different genres, like for American cartoons.
OB14: I'm glad you like my sea otter! :D I'MSORRYIDIDNTUPDATEWEDNESDAYLIKEYOUTHOUGHTIWOULDBUTNOWIMMORESUREIWILLBEABLETOKEEPUPEASIER
Yummy42: A sea otter is so cute it IS hard to imagine one spreading despair! XD The seaweed is such a greta idea, I would never had thought about it! Thank you! :D And knowing who the actual culprit is just makes Ruruka's death so much worse... D: Typos gonna be the death of me! XD
A Wish for Existence: Whenever I rest, I'm most of the time still tired. I hate it. Ruruka's relationship with Seiko was complicated but yeah, even though Ruruka didn't noticed it at all and didn't meant it, it was kinda abusive toward Seiko... Which is sad. D: I'm glad Munakata calmed down now! :P For MM, My favs are Yoosung and 707. But I like them all. It sucks that you have no wi-fi... I personally use a grid that had all the chat hours by characters on it, it makes everything easier. Same for the guests. I understand your feelings toward Monomeep: it's basicaly Monokuma but as an otter to match the water theme. Probably has a slightly different personality, but their roles are the same!
PlayGirlKitty:Nobody will ever know if they want to warn, or actually slice Julian. XD At the same time that it would have caused despair to the others, Julian would not have really felt any despair... There is some Julian/Hibiko interactions due to your comment. Hope it's okay. :P
Awenia: Didn't forgot your review this time. XD I guess I did made it really short due to the fact I couldn't deal with it and wanted to be able to update... I will put Spoiler Alert for as long as there's new eps. Sadly, it'S gonna end soon... D: I guess the story is kicking in without really kicking it right here... It's more of a 'You're stuck here and you just gotta face it' chapter, I guess? Wasn't really my intention, but that's what ended up being written... My school was very weird. One of my friends basically said all Japanese music was the Naruto theme song. Which is weird. My school was very judgy, too. I changed the ratings after you mentioned it! XD Isn't the most K rated story.. Changed to T, which should do! Thanks for the warning! :P I'm always there to talk new eps! XD I thought I would post earlier and decided to answer to you here, but then that got delayed and I just forgot about it... Sorry! D: Ruruka's deah takes such a different (sad and emotional) dimension when you learn that thing from last Future ep... Despair is awaiting us all, at the end of the anime... At least, there's gonna be a new game, I guess!
hope you enjoy this chapter!
All the students were gathered in the cafeteria, convinced by Seiun and Noritaka that it would be easier to discuss their situation there. The few minutes that it took to walk to said location ended up being beneficial: thoughts were organized, heads were cleared.
"I can't believe I am imprisoned here. How dare they imprison me, a god? They should treate me with reverence! I want to be out of here immediately!" fumed Hibiko, crossing his arms on his chest.
"Even if we'd like to escape, without a submarine, it is impossible. We're 20000 leagues under the sea." sighed Seiun, shifting his gaze toward the portholes. "Let's just hope that there won't be a kraken..."
"I wanna see a Kraken..." whispered Nao, staring at the floor as he bit his cheek.
"Perhaps there is one! We just have to find it!" retorted Kenji.
"How would we search for a kraken though? We can't leave this place, it'd just have to pass by for use to see it..." replied Yuriy, confused while Nao perked up.
"I meant the submarine."
"Obviously. Yeah. That... was obvious."
"How would we find it though? It's not like we could open the sas to check it out..." said Io, sighing as she slumped over the table. "Even if we'd be able to open it, we could get risk being submerged in water..."
"This is fine..." sarcastically muttered Bianca, sighing.
"They can't just... They can't just keep us here!" screamed Haruna, walking in circles.
"We should still maybe try to find a way out... Staying here will probably be very dangerous..." mumbled Kaori, rubbing Zokuwa's back gently, the reporter sitting down, arms around her legs and rocking back and forth like a baby.
"As Seiun said, we're deep under the sea. Unless there is a submarine at our disposition, there's no way to get out." calmly said Kona. "Trying to contact the outside world would be more effective."
"Well let's try to find a radio or something!" replied Reiko, throwing her arm in the air.
"Let's divide ourselves up, then." responded Bianca, as neat little groups were formed.
AT THE KITCHEN...
"Hmmm... Do you think I can get a bite?" wondered Noritaka, looking hungrily at the content of a refrigerator.
"If we're stuck here, we'll have to make our own food..." sighed Io.
"Perhaps we could do cooking and cleaning chores." suggested Zokuwa.
"Can Mii-chan.. tea?" wondered the herbologist, looking up to Nao, who simply smiled.
"Sure! I doub we will be able to find a radio here anyway, and since we were assigned this place... You can make some tea without any problem! Could I have some?"
AT THE AUDITORIUM...
"I really wonder where the hell those weird robot-thingies were able to come from- I thought there would be a trap or something, but not even!" groaned Yuriy, pushing the ceiling at the emplacement the robot who had try slicing Julian had fallen from as much as she could, dangling on top of an unsteady tower of chairs, while Kaori was worriedly trying to keep the tower from crumbling down.
"It's not safe! You should get down before you get hurt!"
"Bah, we got a paramedic, I risk nothing!"
"It would be nothing but natural selection." responded Kona, smirking.
"Wait, what? Natural selection?!"
"The dumbs gotta go, after all." smiled Bianca while Yuriy frowned.
"Whatcha talking abou-uaaaAAh!"
A loud clanking sound erupted as the chair tower crumbled down, sending the Xenoaerchologist down a couple of the auditorium's stairs.
"OH MY GOD!" The trio ran to the girl who sat up, her head between her hands.
"That huuuuurts..."
"Are you okay?" worriedly questioned Kaori while Kona inspected any possible injuries.
"You seem fine.. You,ll probably get a couple of bruise, however." sighed the Paramedic, relived. "Though, you gotta admit, your fall was quite... humerus."
"W-what? No it wasn't!"
"You did brought this up on yourself, with that shitty ass chair tower."
"I WAS DOING THIS FOR YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE!"
AT THE DORMS...
"There's nothing in those damned dorms that could help us!" roared Haruna, kicking a door.
"Calm down, nothing good is going to come up from doing such things." responded Seiun as the soccer player glared at him.
"It was expected to find nothing, after all.. It'd be quite thoughtless of our captor to give use a mean of communication with the outside world." added Murai.
"Being imprisoned like this.. I suppose it's a smaller version of the world crumbling." said Wisteria, twirling her rose.
"I really hope we can get out of here soon though! That Monomeep creeped me out..." sighed Reiko. "I just hope nobody took his graduation thing too seriously."
"Well, we should head back to the cafeteria to report our.. findings." said Seiun, leaving toward said location, a gloomy atmosphere hovering above them.
AT THE SHOP...
"This place is a mess!" whistled Kanji as a huge pile of various object stood before him.
"Let's get to it, it might take a while..." sighed Hisoka, starting to rummage through the pile.
Many things were found: balls, plushies, seeds, hairclips, bracelets, glasses, perfumes, cameras, whips, and even figurines, one of which Hibiko was holding.
"Tanaka the Forbidden One? Alongside his Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness and Gods of Destruction? What the hell's that?" wondered the Stone Carver, reading off the figurine's box. "How dare the compare Gods to such lowly creatures as hamsters?"
"What? Do you think you're the only God or something?" asked Julian, already exasperated at Hibiko's antics.
"If there would be, they wouldn't be hamsters! Not that I care if there's other gods. I am the greatest God of them all, after all."
"Narcisstic much?" laughed Kanji just before a scream of surprise rang in the room. One of the enormous pile had fallen down, missing Hisoka by a few centimeters. However, luck seemed to have stroke since a radio layed atop the crumbled pile.
"We found a radio!" exclaimed Hisoka, taking it.
"Let's go back to the others, then!"
BACK TO THE CAFETERIA...
"Thank you God for this radio." prayed Zokuwa, smiling widely.
"Yeah, thanks myself." retorted Hibiko, smirking while Julian shot him an exasperate glance.
"Aaah, please work!" chanted Noritaka, playing around with the various buttons in hope to make it work.
Everybody was on edge, waiting for the connection to be made, while Wisteria spoke up. "What if we're too deep to be able to reach anything?"
"Unless it is a really shitty radio, it should be able to contact the surface. In submarines, there is such kind of radios that can contact it, even deeper than we currently are." explained Nao, sipping the herbal tea Miisa had made earlier, the short girl doing the same.
"Ah! I heard something!" exclaimed Noritaka as a voice peaked through all the gibberish.
Everybody leaned closer, listening intently as the tap dancer took the walkie-talkie in his hand. "Can you hear me?"
"hea... ou..."
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
"can... ear... you... wher... ar... ou...?..."
"We're stuck in what seems to be an underwater bunker. We were imprisoned here by someone unknown."
"Imp..oned...und... wate... bunk...?..."
"Yes and we have some clues that indicates that we might be in dire danger. Please send help!"
"...priso..d...in..an...der..ter...ker...?..Want...help.. escape?..."
"Yes! Please help us!"
"But you already know how to escape. You simply have to kill somebody to be able to graduate, which would provide you an escape from this underwater bunker."
"What th ffffuck?" screamed Noritaka, standing up abruptly as the radio emitted a high-pitched, slightly crazed-sounding laughter, before a weird creature appeared out of no where, crushing down the radio with his feet as it landed upon it.
The creature resembled no known animals. Humanoid, it had big fluffy tuft of varying shade of blue fur from its head to its upper thighs, lacking some on his legs and arms, or at least, having a lower amount of fur there, apart from its ankles and wrists, which were also covered in heavy tuft of blue fur. Big dark blue eyes adorned its face alongside a beak and ears resembling the ears of a dog, but straither and larger, both a paler blue matching its limbs.
"Hello dear students! I'm your vice-principal, Mizuumi! I'm please to finally meet you all~"
"Wh-what are you?" wondered Bianca, befuddled.
"You vice-principal, Mizuumi! Anyway, I just passed by to introduce myself, since I missed the ceremony. Thanks to your radio call, I remembered it!" laughed the creature, ripping his own head off to throw it to a hand to his other hand repetively.
"Are you a deep-sea creature?" wndered Nao, curiosity glistening in his eye.
"Am I? Am I not? I can tell you that right now, I am living in the sea, with all of you, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahhahahahhaahhahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhahahhahahhahahhahhahhhaahhahahhahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaaahahahahahahahahahahahah"
His laugh continued on as the students looked at each others, confusion apparent on everyobody's face.
"What's his deal?..." wondered Reiko, looking at Mizuumi in dubious astonishment, the creature still throwing its head around as it laughed.
"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha. Oooops, gotta go~ I have a meeting with Monomeep~ Well, see you soon, dear students!"
And Mizuumi disappeared, leaving bewilderment reign over the students in his leave.
"What was that?" wondered Kanji out loud, pointing toward the radio.
"It was kinda cute..." whispered Yuriy, deep in thought, while the DJ stared at her in disbelief.
"I really hope there won't be another one..." sighed Kona as every other students nodded.
"Monomeeeeeep~ Do you think the students were amazed by my dramatic reveal?~"
"Nyeeheehee... Now, their only beacon of hope was destroyed... How will that affect them? Nyhehehehee~"
"Ooooooh~ Maybe they will despair~"
"It's the whole point of this mascarade, after all, nyeeheehee!"
HEEEEY! Not much happened, but things happened in this chapter! :P The last apart wasn't planned, I just had to add something. Mizuumi was based on Fireys' from the movie Labyrinth, btw. Similar, but not exactly the same. For the name, I just threw Water + Sea together in Japanese and it gave Mizuumi. I'm a genius.So yeah! A vice-principal! WHat do you think of him? :P By the way, for the different searching part.. Since we basically saw every room in the intros, I was lazy. I actually really wanted to be able to do the anime thing of showing them search without having to describe it much..But I like how it still kinda gave that feeling anyway, so I kept it that way.
On for my usual media update... XD On Mystic Messenger, I finished Yoosung (Yay for the good end! He is the most precious being on earth honestly) and I'm now on Zen's route. I like him more since I started his route, even though his hair still annoys me... Oh well. I'm finishing it Saturday (If I get the Normal/Good End) and will probably head for Jumin or 707 next, since I have enough HG to buy the deep route. Also, I bought the unlimited call card and I do not regret. Also, Meet the Robinsons is a criminally underrated movie. Just rewatched it and loved it. It has such a great message, and a literal celebration of failure due to it bringing eventual success. I love this movie. I also went to watch Don't Breathe expecting a supernatural storyline, since I hadn't read the synopsis.. It has nothing supernatural. I was on edge the whole movie, it was very suspenseful! I went to watch it alone too so I was doubled stressed and scared, haha! I really liked it anyway!
For my personal life, I just gotta say that I got 89% on my first big test and 100% for a one-paragraph-of-an-analysis in French that I thought I would have like 60%-70% on. And I also want to say I hate Fire Drills at 9h20 in the morning, especially when you have a class at 10h10 and you haven't eaten or dressed up or anything yet. It sucks. Still managed to arrive on time, luckily.
NEW EPISODES TALKING TIME AND SPOILERS
OMG Juzo my baby how could this happen to you... D: Plus the reveal that he love Munakata? I thought it would be another straight love and he liked Chisa but no! Queer love! :D Plus I'm really glad that the wikia just says 'A LGBT+ character' because we don't know if he was actually gay, or bi or pan and it's important to me to present all the possible options and not just decide one of them for a character who hasn't clearly stated his preferences in such matters. Make me happy because I hate bi/pan/poly erasure. Dear to my heart. Anyway, the killer being actually themselves thing was so fucked up but amazing? I loved it? And it really shows how much hatred Ruruka had for herself, having killer herself in such a brutal way... Plus Tengan? Calling Ryouta? WTF? And whats happening to Hagakure and Togami seriously? However, I'm kinda disappointed in the SDR2 class just being kind brainwashed by Junko. I mean, her despair does brainwash, but it seems like the brainwash brought despair insted of the contrary... Especially for Chisa. I honestly knew it for Chisa. I never really liked her, gives too much of a Mary Sue vibe to me, so it didn't really hit me. It was more of a 'Called it' moment. But Chiaki... GOD I JUST STARTED LOVING YOU YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! It was very brutal for her as well.. Also the first execution... Poor Chiaki, still trying to give hope to Izuru/Hinata even as she's dying... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WHY? WHY? I'm kinda sad, however, that we won't see any of Ryoko Otonashi, Matsuda or Murasame... They were what I was looking foward too.. Te last Despair episode fucked me up honestly! We finally got a clear look of how this all began and how the DR1 Class ended up there and everything.. It was good to see Ishimaru, Sakura, Monda, and all the others again! Even though we knoe it doesn't end well for them... And now, my only question is... What will be the hardest to predict for Izuru? *I hope it's hope*don't want more despair*
END OF SPOILERS
I was supposed to do an analysis on Don Quijote instead of this, but oh well, I'll do it in the week-end. So, BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! I decided to update every two weeks, on Fridays, instead of every week on Wednesdays. I had forgotten about the fact that, being in the language program, I would get a shitton of analysis and other writing assignements. Therefore, I decided to give me more time to allow myself to juggle both without having to stress myself as much! Plus, since I never started writing a chapter on the Thursday following the Wednesday I posted, I decided to just update on the Fridays and have a full week to prepare,without cutting it down the middle.
So yeah, updates every two weeks on Fridays from now on.
By the way, I finished planning the whole story (ALLELUJAH) and I'm really happy.
Kinda had fun though, trying to fit all the OCs in one of the Future Foundation's division... If you want, you could tell me which you'D think your OC would be in, if they'd be in the FF! Allowing me to see if I guessed right or not~
LAST THING! The poll for the Free Time Event is up now. Forgot how polls worked and therefore forgot to get my old one of to be able to put the new one. Apparently, it isn't automatic. So go vote now!
My A/N will get shorter when the anime ends. Just noticed that. I'm not ready.
See you in two weeks, on Friday!
Posting this at 12h40 in the morning because why not I just finished.
Ciao! :D
