Among the crowds of talking students, who seemed to have separated into pairs or groups of three, something crackled and sliced through the noise.

Everyone stopped talking, pausing in mid-gesture as two beams of light shone on the stage, drawing attention to it. 

You narrowed your eyes, staring at the stage for any sign of life.

"Upupupupu~ Seems you guys got all nice and cozy with one another!"

The voice was childish and mildly irritated your ears, but it seemed to ring around the whole gym.

That was, until a black-and-white bear popped up on the stage. It was a strangely designed stuffed bear- probably no taller then up to your waist, with a regular-looking white side, then a black side with a wide, crazed smile and a jagged, blood-red eye.

"Hello, hello!" The bear said giddily, waving a white paw around. "I see that you all introduced yourselves! Well, most of you guys are here, but the losers that are wayyyy too late can be filled in!" 

Spreading his hands- well, paws- the bear didn't acknowledge the silence that met his greeting. No one moved, their attention captured by the weird monochrome stuffed animal.

"My name is Monokuma! Mon-o-ku-ma~! I'm your principal!"

Hopping down from the podium, he gave a quick twirl.

" And you all are apart of the Mutual Killing Game of Class 79!" 

*I will be controlling Monokuma
