Chapter 2: Written in the stars (Daily Life)(part 1)

After the class trial, we all went to bed and that morning, I woke up and went to the cafeteria. When I got there, everyone had the same expression on their face.

Aqua: Um, good morning everyone.

Strawberry: ...

Kaedi: ...

Ruby: ...

Just as I thought. Nobody said a word. They were still shaken by what happened yesterday. Two of our friends just died and one of them was brutally murdered in front of us.

Strawberry: Even though there were sixteen of us, the room feels a lot more...empty.

Pix: Yes, well, two of us have been killed off.

Joseph: Plus, it looks like Celestial and Nebula are no longer coming to the breakfast meeting.

Lisa: Is it okay to let those two wander alone?

Aqua: What do you mean?

Lisa: Because Cockestial provoked Honey Devil into killing Chucky! What're we him gonna do if she does the same to Plebula or worse?

Elijah: Am I going crazy or are you actually worried for Nebula?

Lisa: What?! You must be going fuckin' crazy! I'm only worried about Incestial trying to kill my sorry ass! Like hell would I waste my time worrying about the rest of you assholes when my life's on the line!

Elijah: Yeah, sure.

Collin: Heh.

Lisa: What's so funny?

Collin: Oh, nothing. I just find it amusing that you could keep your sanity after murdering somebody.

Lisa: What the hell are you talkin' about?

Collin: We all voted on Honey Angel during the class trial, therefore we're all responsible for her death in some way.

Ruby: Ruby didn't want to think of it like that...

Collin: Oh? Well isn't that too bad? You had to kill someone in order to survive. Did you think everyone would live happily ever after? Or did you believe you could rely on your brother for the rest of your life?

Ruby: Um...

Pix: Excuse me, I advise you to be quiet.

Collin: Or what? You're going to kill me in front of everyone?

Suddenly, tension filled the room as Collin and Pix had a state down. Luckily, the tension evaporated when Strawberry broke it up.

Strawberry: Um... Maybe we should just eat.

And so we had ourselves a very awkward breakfast. After that, I headed for my room. I sat on my bed with my head filled with worry. The way things are now, can we really prevent another murder?

Aqua: ...No, I need to put those thoughts aside for now.

Anyway, I still have time to hang out with people.

Free Time

I decided to spend some time with Joseph today.

Aqua: Um, so Joseph, how was your life outside the school?

Joseph: I see. So that's what you would like to know. Well, I spend most of the time going on numerous adventures with my brother.

Aqua: Really? What kind of adventures?

Joseph: A great deal of them. We were even able to go side by side with the great Jotaro Kuji.

Aqua: Wait, you met Jotaro?

Joseph: Well he is a stand user like me.

Aqua: Really? What type of stand do you use?

Joseph: Actually, I have five.

Aqua: Five!

Joseph: Yeah. I'll explain later.

With that, Joseph went off. He really is a nice guy, but to have five stands? Is that even possible? After hanging out with Joseph I headed to my room.

Aqua: I still have some time.

Free Time

I decided to hang out with Lisa today.

Lisa: Grrrh.

It doesn't seem like she's in a good mood.

Aqua: Hey, did something happen?

Lisa: That dumbass, Colon said some rude shit today.

Aqua: Now that I think about it, you always call us by nicknames. Why do you call him Colon?

Lisa: You're in High School and you don't know what ass cancer is?

I would have said something, but I can't deny that I just learned that word. Also that Collin does act like that sometimes. No... all the time.

Lisa: Ha! Looks like I was right!

Lisa looked like she was trying not to feel too proud of herself.

Aqua: So what do you do during your free time?

Lisa: Isn't it obvious? I spend my time creatin' high-tech weapons for the government.

Aqua: Wait, what?

Lisa: Curious aren't you? How 'bout I tell you all about it next time we talk!

After saying that, Lisa turned away. She's definitely not a good person, but she's not a bad person either. I guess we got a little closer today. After having a calmer talk with Lisa, I walked back to my room.

Ding Dong Bing Bong!

The intercom turned on and Monokumas face appeared onscreen.

Monokuma: Attention! Attention! May everyone please enter the gymnasium immediately!

After making his announcement, the monitor turned off.

Aqua: The gymnasium? Don't tell me he has another motive already.

I started to have that bad feeling again. But I gathered up all the determination I had left and headed straight to the gymnasium. When I got there, three people were already inside. Lisa, Nebula, and... Celestial. I immediately noticed that Nebula looked a bit down.

Lisa: Seriously, why hasn't anyone bound and gagged this chick yet?!

Aqua: Lisa, what happened?

Lisa: It's bitchtial! She's fuckin' insane!

Lisa pointed at Celestial.

Celestial: Teehee.

Aqua: Celestial, what's going on? What did you do?

Celestial: Who me? All I did was reveal to him why he's a failure as an older brother. In the end, he had to rely on someone else just to defend his own sister. Who he didn't even know as well as he thought. A failure as a brother. Even our parents never wanted him.

Nebula: ...

Lisa: Can I punch this chick? 'Cause I really wanna punch this chick!

Aqua: No!

I took a deep breath.

Aqua: Celestial, why are you messing around with your brother's feelings like this?

Celestial: What's wrong with that? I was simply stating facts. Besides, it was a family matter so there was no need for the two of you to butt in.

Aqua: But in this type of situation, it's dangerous to mess with others emotions like that.

Celestial: And why was it such a problem? This is a killing game, isn't it? The best way to survive here is to corner your opponent psychologically. You did the same thing to Honey Angel.

Aqua: What?

Celestial: Putting her into a corner, then forcing her to admit her crime. I must say, Aqua, I'm surprised at how cruel you can be. You didn't even consider the fact that her death was technically all your fault.

Aqua: What?

Celestial: If you hadn't pushed her so much, we would never have voted for her and she would never have had such a painful meaningless death.

Lisa: First off, if Blue hadn't accused H2A, we would have all died! Second off, H2A wouldn't have killed anyone if you hadn't provoked her!

???: Still, she is right about one thing. This is a killing game. And it would be nice if you all took it seriously.

I turned around and saw Collin with everyone else behind him.

Lisa: Nobody asked you!

Strawberry: Guys, you need to stop fighting. You'll just be giving Monokuma what he wants.

Pix: Agreed. And since we're all here, be should be appearing at any moment.

As if on cue, Monokuma appeared on stage.

Monokuma: Hello everyone! How are you all today! I see the despair is within you all!

Dole: Just tell us why you brought us here.

Monokuma: Okay! As you may know, I have made this school to fit everyone's expectations! However, as your headmaster, I still need to let you kids roam around a little. That's why I decided to open up a whole new world!

Anna: A new world?

Monokuma: In other words, I am allowing you to enter the second floor of the school. And everytime a murder takes place, a new floor will open! Now go out and explore your new sightseeing adventure!

With that, Monokuma left.

Kaedi: So, what now?

Strawberry: Right now I think it's best if we take a look at the second floor. We might find some clues. Like why we're here or how we can leave.

Brog: Fine. But can we get this over with quickly? *yawn* I'm way too tired.

Soon everyone began to leave the gym. Strawberry and Anna walked toward me.

Strawberry: You ready?

Aqua: Yeah.

The three of us walked out of the gym. We went to one of the stairways that were blocked off on the second floor.

Anna: Looks like it's opened.

Strawberry: Alright. Let's go.

We went up the stairs and to the second floor. The first thing I noticed when we got up there was the entrance to a pool area.

Aqua: Oh my god there's a pool!

I was so excited I nearly ran in without thinking.

Anna: You really like pools huh.

Aqua: Of course. Come on, let's go.!

I grabbed Anna and Strawberry's hands and we headed inside.

Once we got inside, we saw a bunch of exercising equipment. There was also two locker rooms. One for the boys and one for the girls. Also in the room were Ruby and Pix.

Ruby: Aqua! Ruby found a pool!

Aqua: I know! We should go swim in it right now!

Pix: Before the two of you act too recklessly, you might want to watch your step.

Pix pointed in between the boys and girls locker rooms. Making me notice the giant machine gun on the ceiling.

Aqua: Whoa! How come I didn't notice that before?

Strawberry: You were kinda distracted by the pool.

I examined the gun.

Aqua: Still, why is this here?

As if it were an everyday thing, Monokuma appeared out of nowhere.

Monokuma: Did someone call me?

Aqua: Why would anyone call for you?

Monokuma: The reason why the gun is there is quite simple. If you could please take a look at the door.

We looked at the door and saw a small card reader.

Monokuma: As you can see, the locker rooms work the exact same way as your dorms. Except this time, if a boy entered the girl's locker room, they'll be shot full of holes! Oh, and the same goes for the girls. For example...

Monokuma suddenly took my e-handbook. Without saying a word he scanned the boy's locker room. Suddenly the gun pointed at him and started shooting him rapidly until he was nothing but dust.

Aqua: Um, that seems a bit overboard!

Ruby: But doesn't that mean the evil teddy bear is gone?

Monokuma: How many times do I have to tell you, I am not a teddy bear.

Monokuma suddenly appeared before us again.

Monokuma: And I'm pretty sure I stated that I have made thousands of Monokuma all over the school. So even if one dies another will just reappear.

Pix: I see. I must say that I'm impressed. However, isn't there a flaw to your gun show?

Monokuma: Hmm?

Pix: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you took all our powers except our speed and strength. Therefore, what if somebody just outran the bullets until they ran out?

Monokuma: Puhuhuhuhu. Your pretty smart to notice something like that. But even if they did outrun the bullets they'll be running for a very long time. Because this gun doesn't stop shooting until whoever scanned the card leaves the area entirely or is dead.

Strawberry: You'll go this far to prevent a pervert from looking in the wrong locker room, yet you still make us kill each other?

Monokuma: Well of course. It's common knowledge for a headmaster to lock away his students and have them kill each other.

Then Monokuma tossed me my e-handbook and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Strawberry: Common sense where?

Aqua: Anyway, we should go check out the pool. It should be on the other side of the locker rooms.

I walked up to the girl's locker room and scanned my e-handbook. The door suddenly made a click sound and I walked inside. It looks like Kaedi was already there.

Kaedi: Oh, it looks like you found this place too. I already checked the entire locker room but didn't find anything useful.

I looked around the locker room. There were large weight benches and a bunch of dumbbells. There were also lockers with swimsuits in them. Plus, there was a poster on the wall of a boy band I wasn't familiar with.

Aqua: Hey, do you think you could smash those iron plates with one of these dumbbells?

Kaedi: I doubted it but I asked Joseph and Elijah to give it a try.

Aqua: You're trying it out even though you know it probably won't work?

Kaedi: It's like I always say, it's best to test it out before stating it's impossible.

That's a pretty optimistic way of looking at things. But didn't you doubt it'll work a moment ago? Anna and Strawberry finally came in behind me.

Strawberry: Sorry for the wait.

I nodded and walked to the next door. When I opened it, I noticed that you don't have to scan your handbook to go from the locker room to the pool area. Nor do you need to do it if you want to leave. I looked at the large pool... just to find out it had no water.

Aqua: Huh? The pools empty?

Anna: look, there's a sign.

She pointed at a sign right in front of the pool.

 The pool is closed two hours before nighttime.

Strawberry: Well, he did say some areas are off limit at night.

Aqua: Aw man, I was excited and everything.

The three of us finally left the pool and decided to explore other areas on the second floor. However, the only other room we saw besides the bathrooms and the one classroom on this floor, was the library. We stepped inside and saw Collin, Lisa, and Celestial all inside. We also saw a bunch of dusty books on some large bookcases. I was about to grab a book until Collin stopped me.

Collin: I wouldn't do that if I were you. The wood on these bookcases seems to be so old, that one wrong move could make them collapse on you.

After he said that, I decided it's best if I don't touch it. I noticed a door in the back of the library. I went to open it but it was locked.

Celestial: I tried to open it a while ago, but it looks like that area is preoccupied at the moment. Aw man. And I was really hoping it would be a way for all of us to leave this place.

Lisa: After what you did, I highly doubt that.

Celestial: Teeheehee, you read me like a book.

Lisa: This ain't the time for fuckin' laughin'! Just be glad I didn't tie you down yet!

I then noticed a laptop behind Lisa on the library desk.

Aqua: Hey, can't we use that to find out what's going on outside the school?

Anna saw what I was pointing at and immediately walked towards it. She opened it up and pressed the power button but it didn't turn on.

Anna: Looks like it's busted.

Lisa: Nah, it's just out of battery.

Lisa closed the laptop and picked it up.

Lisa: Just give me a couple of days and I'll get this baby at full power in no time.

Anna: Really?! How?

Lisa: A scientist never reveals her secrets!

Strawberry: Um, I'm pretty sure that's a magician.

Aqua: Well, that's everything on the second floor.

Anna: Yeah. Let's go meet everyone in the cafeteria.

The three of us then walked down to the cafeteria where everyone else had already gathered.

Strawberry: Okay, everyone's here? Let's go over what we found.

Ruby: Ruby and Pix found a big pool!

Pix: Yes but it appears that the locker rooms work the same as the dorms. You can't enter the boy's locker room as a girl and vise versa. This time though, if you try to enter the room of your opposite gender, you may just get shot.

Elijah: Shot? Heh, I've outrun plenty of bullets before.

Pix: So have I. Which is why I believe he has some precautionary measure to prevent that. After all, he seems to be quite serious about splitting people up by gender.

Celestial: Sounds like a real feministic jerk if you ask me.

Dole: It doesn't matter what he is. We need to find out who he is and how to get out his death prison.

Kaedi: There was also a pool, but it's only open at a certain time.

Collin: I found a large assortment of books in the library. Though taking one out might cause the entire bookshelf to collapse.

Celestial: There was also a secret room, but it was locked.

Elijah: You didn't bother trying to break it down?

Celestial: In this situation, with no idea what could be on the other side? I wouldn't say that's the brightest idea.

Joseph: There were iron plates on the second floor too. Kaedi asked me and Elijah to try and use the dumbbells to break it down.

Elijah: I tried the same for the gate blocking the third floor but neither of them made a dent.

Kaedi: I expected it not to work, but for not even a dent to be made? Either you two are extraordinarily weak or that's the strongest metal I've ever seen.

Brog: It doesn't matter how strong it is, this search was pointless.

Lisa: You say that, where the hell was you while we were working our butts off!?

Brog: I was in my room asleep. I didn't feel like walking around.

Celestial: Our search wasn't entirely useless. After all, Aqua found a laptop in the library.

Aqua: Um, yeah but it didn't turn on so I let Lisa have a look.

Lisa: Yeah, and I'm repairin' it at this very moment!

That's when I noticed that she didn't have on her cat ears. Could she be using that to fix the laptop?

Joseph: Still, if you can repair it, then is it really a good idea to mention it around these cameras? We never know when the mastermind could be watching.

Lisa: If he really cared about that thing he wouldn't have left it in the library. And if he forgot then that means he's not as smart as he looks, or he underestimated my genius.

Anna: And how long is it going to take to repair it?

Kaedi: With the limited resources you have it should take a few months.

Lisa: That would be true if I didn't have a bunch of solutions to make a few months into three weeks or less! So as long as nobody does anything stupid, I should be able to fix it and find out what's going on.

Brog: Even with a laptop, it's still meaningless until we find out how to get out.

Strawberry: Don't worry, I'm sure we can find out what's going on if we're a little patient.

Collin: And why would any of us believe that?

Strawberry: Huh?

Collin: We were patient when Chuck was guiding us, then he got himself killed. Do you really believe anyone will be patient with you after that?

Lisa: What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

Collin: And besides, Celestial targeted him specifically because he was leading us. Who's to say she won't do the same to you.

After saying that, a quick look of fear sprung across Strawberry's face. She looked at Celestial and quickly tried to hide her fear.

Collin: Just face it. Someone like you isn't fit to lead anyone. Now if you would excuse me, I need to leave.

Elijah: Hey, you can't just leave after all that.

Collin: Then why don't you watch me?

And just like that, Collin left the cafeteria without saying a word.

Lisa: What a rich snob. I hope he gets killed by all that money of his.

Aqua: Lisa!

Lisa: What? I'm just stating the truth.

Celestial: He's not wrong. There's no telling what I'm planning for her. Anything to see the despair in each of your faces.

Aqua: Celestial!

Ding dong Bing bong.

The intercoms turned on and Monokuma appeared on the screen.

Monokuma: This is a school announcement. It is now 10 pm. Which means it is officially nighttime. Goodnight. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bight.

The intercom turned off and we all looked at each other. One by one everyone left the cafeteria and went off to bed. Anna and I stayed with Strawberry for a bit.

Anna: Hey, don't worry about what Collin said. I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Strawberry: Y-yeah, I know.

She says that but, I could still see a bit of fear in her eyes. After double checking to make sure she was fine and walking her to her dorm, me and Anna went our separate ways and I went to my room. I hope Strawberry's alright. Though it's not just Strawberry I'm worried about. Nebula didn't look so good either. Collins really causing us to split apart quickly.

Aqua: What are we going to do?

Lost in thought I laid down and drifted to sleep.

Monokuma Theater

Monokuma: Guns, action, drama! These are all the things that will be seen in, Monokuma: The Movie! Starring Monokuma. Illustrated by Monokuma. and coming soon to a Wattpad near you. It's too bad I can't see it though. Because apparently they don't want any more bears in the theater.

Monokuma theater (end)

Ding Dong Bing Bong

I woke up to Monokumas morning announcement.

Monokuma: Good morning everyone. It is now seven a.m. Get ready to greet another beautiful day.

The announcements turned off and I got out of bed.

Aqua: I better head to the Cafeteria. I wonder how everyone else is doing.

I left my room and once I got there almost everyone else was already inside.

Pix: Good morning. It seems Collin, Brog, Celestial and Nebula aren't joining us anymore.

Anna: Yeah. Now it's just the ten of us.

Lisa: Well screw those guys! We've got a bigger issue to deal with!

Aqua: A bigger issue?

Kaedi: You didn't notice? We all got these weird devices on our wrist.

She showed me hers. That's when I noticed there was also one on mine and everyone else's.

Aqua: What is this thing?

I was about to take it off until Monokuma came out of nowhere.

Monokuma: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Ruby hid behind Pix.

Ruby: Evil bear!

Monokuma: That bracelet contains a lethal poison. Any attempts at taking it off will be punishable.

Elijah: Alright, what's going on?

Monokuma: What's going on is the next motive! On your wrist is a device I handmade myself. I call it, the Monowatch!

Joseph: And this watch is supposed to make us kill each other?

Monokuma: If you double tap your Monowatch it will reveal to you three things. A target for you to kill, an award you will receive after killing, and a forbidden action!

Strawberry: What do you mean by forbidden action?

Monokuma: Puhuhuhu. If you do what that watch tells you to do, the poison in your Monowatch will sink into your body and immediately kill you! This is my motive so do whatever you like with it. All I need to do is wait for the despair!

As he said that, he disappeared from our sights. Looks like this is it. Another motive. All we can do now is prevent another murder and another class trial.

-To Be Continued

So I tried to add a little more character development in the story but I feel like it sent things all over the place. Please let me know if I'm right. Also (like I said a million times) Please let me know if your OC feels a bit out of character. See you all next time.
