"Uhhhhhhhhhh...."  I groaned.  My head...where am I?

I cracked my eyes open enough to see a bit of light.  I then realized I was on a bed.  A soft, squishy, comfortable bed.  I had the urge to go back to sleep, but I needed to find out where I was.

I sat up groaning, raking my paws through my fur.  I looked to the left side of my bed and saw a nightstand with a clock, a floor plan, and a note.

(QUICK!  WHO IS THIS FLUF---- I MEAN, FURRY PERSON?)

BE IN THE GRAND HALL BY 8:30 A.M.

The clock said 8:27. Great. I'm gonna be late.

I jumped off the bed, adjusting my tie.  I decided to just go to this Grand Hall instead of investigate.  I suppose I can do that later.

I placed my paw on the doorknob and slowly turned it, wincing slightly at the creak as I opened the door.

I stared down both ends of the long, dimly lit hallway and shivered.

As I shut my door, I noticed a metal plate bolted next to my door.  It had my name.

ASFJerome

I sighed and began walking down the hall towards where the floor plan said the Grand Hall was.  I passed several other doors with metal plates.  They also had names.  I read a few as I speedwalked.

Bajancanadian
Aphmau
MrCrainer
Deadlox

Who are these people?

I sighed.  Maybe they'll be in this Grand Hall, too.

I reached the Grand Hall in just a few minutes.  I never saw any clocks on my way here, so I don't know if I'm late or not.

I steeled myself and pushed open the huge doors.  What I saw next astounded me.

Besides the 15 people I saw, the Grand Hall was HUGE.  There was a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging about 15 feet above a king's dining table.  16 chairs surrounded it.

Some of the people were talking to each other.  About what, I'll never know.  On closer examination, some of the people weren't people!  Besides myself, I also saw a narwhal (how to spell :P), a purple dinosaur, and...a Mudkip, I think.

The moment I joined the group, a cute, yet kinda creepy laugh rang through the air.

"HEHEHEHEHEHE!  Goodie, we're all here, boyo!"

The quiet chatter instantly silenced as a puff of smoke appeared at the end of the table closest to us.

It was a puffball looking thing.  Half-white, half-ashen gray, and a hat that looked mixed between a fool's hat and a wizard's hat.  On the white side of his face, half his smile looked adorable and his eye was black with a white shine.  The ashen-gray side was terrifying.  The smile turned blood red and really creepy, and the eye was neon yellow with a red shine.

"HEHEHEHEHE!  Welcome!  Welcome to Hope Castle, boyo!  I'm MonoKirby! Are you guys ready to play a game?  ...HEHEHE!  Trick question.  You don't have a choice, boyo!  So, the point of this game is to kill one of your peers without being caught, boyo! I don't really care how you kill them.  They just have to be 100% dead, boyo!  Once the body has been discovered, a 15 minute time limit will be allowed to search for clues.  After that, everyone will come to the Grand Hall for a Castle Trial, boyo!  Here, you will discuss the evidence found to figure out the murderer.  If the murderer is found, they will be executed and the game will continue!  But...if the innocent is accused, everyone but the murderer dies and the murderer leaves home free!"

After he finished, no one spoke.  We were all dumbfounded.  Killing?  A game of killing?!?

Some guy with shades and a purple and gold amulet scoffed.  "Yeah, sure.  This is just some stupid joke.  Why did you really bring us here?"

MonoKirby smirked.  "I didn't bring you here.  I just watch over the game, boyo!  The mastermind brought y'all here.  And...they're among us.  They're always among us."  MonoKirby murmured the last part, almost like a trance.  He shook his head...body?...and continued.  "Anyways, there are some things y'all need to know, boyo!  Food replenished daily, so you won't starve.  There are 4 floors, but only the 1st is accessible at the moment, boyo.  After each successful Castle Trial, a new floor will be opened.  Finally, there's no escape.  See y'all at the first Castle Trial, boyo!"  He danced around in a little circle and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

We just all stood there in shocked silence.  What....

I saw some people staring nervously at others.  If this mastermind is among us, then...one of us is that person.

I sighed deeply.  "So what now?"  Some people jumped slightly at my voice.

I heard someone else sigh.  I looked over and saw the guy with the amulet.  "I suppose we should introduce ourselves since we're most likely gonna be here a while.  I'm SkythekidRS, but you can call me Sky.  I'm a super singer."

When no one else spoke up, I cleared my throat and spoke.  "I'm ASFJerome, but you can call me Jerome.  I'm a super axeman."

People were starting to get into the gist of it.  A man with a black and red checkered hoodie and gold dogtags raised his hand a bit.  "I'm Bajancanadian, but you can call me Mitch.  I'm a super pvper."

A womanly voice rang through the air.  "I'm Aphmau, but you can call me Jess.  I'm a super role player."  Said the woman with black hair and a purple outfit.

Some guy with a tux like me but had shades cleared his throat.  "I'm SSundee, but you can call me Ian.  I'm a super baker."

A blonde man with a dinosaur on his shirt raised his hand.  "I'm MrCrainer, but you can call me Crainer.  I'm a super busybody."

We heard a thump and saw a black haired man with a hand on his chest.  He looked Korean and there was an M on his front and a pink mustache on his back.  "I'm Markiplier, but you can call me Mark.  I'm...."  He did an epic pose and his voice got really loud and kinda deep.  "...the super KING...of FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S!"

We all laughed, wondering what Five Nights at Freddy's was.

(O_o)

Some Swedish dude with black headphones and a blue fist on his back spoke.  "I'm Pewwwwdiepie, but you can call me Felix.  I'm the super king of horror games."  He glanced sideways at Mark.  "Well, besides Five Nights at Freddy's."

Seriously, what the heck is Five Nights at Freddy's??

"Hey!"  The Mudkip called.  "I'm Huskymudkipz, but you can call me Quentin.  I'm a super detective."

A teen, maybe 16 or 17 with green headphones and hair covering his left eye raised his hand.  "I'm Deadlox, but you can call me Ty.  I'm a super parkourist."

A man with a purple and white hoodie with a purple J on his back cleared his throat.  "I'm Jinbop, but you can call me Jin.  I'm a super genius."

The narwhal who had eyes facing different directions walked forward.  "I'm House_Owner, but you can call me Ross.  I'm a super Minecraft informant."  He spoke very calmly.

The purple dinosaur spoke with a strange accent.  "I'm Thatguybarney, but yous can calls me Barney.  I'm a supers optimist."

An all around normal guy with brown hair and a red shirt raised his hand.  "I'm SGCBarbierian, but you can call me Nick.  I'm a super survivalist."

A mysterious man cloaked in purple with a creeper head on his back spoke.  "I'm Setosorcerer, but you can call me Seto.  I'm a super sorcerer."

15 people had introduced themselves.  The last guy had a neon green shirt and no face.

We looked at him, and he looked at us.  He rubbed the back of his head and shrugged.

"I don't think he can speak.  As in, he's mute."  Jess pointed out.  The guy nodded his head.

"Hey!  I got something!"  Jin exclaimed.  He reached inside his hoodie and pulled out a new notepad and pen.  He handed it to the guy, and the guy began writing.

'Thanks, Jin.  I'm SubZeroExtabyte.  You can call me Sub.  I'm a super animator.'

Sub tilted his head then walked over to Jin and wrote something.  Jin nodded, and Sub gave him a thumbs up.

We all stood there in silence, tensions rising once again.

Ugh, I've had enough of this uneasiness!

"This is ridiculous!"  I exclaimed.  "We should just split up and search the place in...I don't know, groups of 4?  Baccas don't math good."

That got a few chuckles and murmurs of agreement.  So, we split up in groups of 4.

Group 1:
Sky
Jin
Ty
Nick

Group 2:
Me      (Jerome)
Mitch
Jess
Seto

Group 3:
Ian
Crainer
Barney
Quentin

Group 4:
Mark
Felix
Ross
Sub

We all took one last look at the Grand Hall before going our separate ways.

We were all very different, but we had one common goal in mind.

Escape.

Hey guys!

I know this a Dangan Ronpa Minecraft parody of sorts, but I'm hoping this will be original compared to all those others.

I have the general parts of the plotline written.  You know, deaths and stuff.  I'm gonna keep going, but I want to hear y'all's feedback.

Smack that...keyboard and type your thoughts?  xD
