Chapter Text
Clementine wandered outside of the school’s gates. She needed some fresh air, using her crutches, she slowly made her way to a tree. The tree had a rope, tied around one of the branches. At the end of the rope, a tire hung from the rope.
“What a beautiful day… No walkers in sight.” Clementine thought to herself. It’s been a while since it was peaceful, the last time it was this peaceful was before the walkers. It felt like forever ago.
“Puhuhuhuhuhu…” A giggle erupted from behind one of the trees, Clementine got her knife out and managed to use the crutches for support, standing upright. She got close to the sound, finding it quite creepy. As it didn’t sound like a walker.
A black and white bear plushie was behind the tree. She found it peculiar. *What’s a toy doing here?* She thought to herself. Suddenly, her vision warped and twisted with each second, before falling on the ground and blacking out. Clementine had fainted.
.
..
…
….
…..
Clementine: “Wh… Huh?”
Clementine woke up in pure darkness. But she felt something strange: Her foot was back.
Clementine: “My foot is back? Fuck’s going on…”
Clementine slowly balanced herself, adjusting to her new foot. It was weird but it’s much better than crutches.
Clementine exhaled, before the lights turned on. She was inside a classroom.
Clementine: *Reminds me of life before the apocalypse…*
Clementine had missed school, she loved school as a kid. And that only brought painful memories of Lee and all of the groups she had been with after the Apocalypse.
Clementine sat around, before checking her pockets.
Clementine: *My knife? Where is it?!*
Clementine panicked, she doesn’t have a weapon to defend herself with from Walkers.
Clementine: *Fuck…*
She quickly tried to break the chairs, attempting to arm herself with the fragments of the chair to no avail, the chair was unbreakable and nothing sharp or strong was near her, but something else caught her eye. There were no windows, only metal plates that were bolted shut.
Clementine approached the metal plates, trying to twist the bolts. She used all of her strength but it wouldn’t budge.
Clementine: *This is a weird situation huh…*
Clementine, out of options, decided to cautiously leave the classroom, she thought she’d find a walker. The hallway had strange pink and green lighting, checkered floor tiles and different classrooms.
Clementine: *No walkers…*
Clementine wandered around, her eyes adjusting to the bright lighting. She limped as she wasn’t used to having her foot back.
Clementine softly sighed, she saw someone. A Girl with short pink hair and a pink outfit, very shiny and out of place. Clementine grew up in the apocalypse after all. Clementine quickly hid around the corner, her movements quiet and her body stiff as a board. The girl was walking around with a smile, very energetic and excited.
Clementine: *She's probably the one behind this...*
In an instant, Clementine wrapped her arms around the girl's neck. Whispering to her.
Clementine: “Don't move. Who are you and who are you working for?”
???: "W-Woah! P-Please don't hurt me! I'm... I'm just as confused as you are! I just woke up!”
Clementine didn’t buy it, tightening her arms around the Girl.
Clementine: “Bullshit. Tell me. Who. Are. You. Working. For.”
???: “I swear I’m n-not lying! I… please just don’t hurt me!”
The Girl panicked, stressed and very fearful. Clementine continued holding her in her grasp. Her eyes looked at the surroundings. She was able to detect when someone was lying, and she began gathering her thoughts.
Clementine: *This Girl… She’s obviously terrified right now… and doesn’t know anything about what’s going on…*
Clementine softly sighed, the girl shook under her chokehold, she loosened her grip and let the girl go. The Girl began panting heavily. Gulping with a fearful look in her eyes.
???: “You- You aren’t going to hurt me… are you?”
Clementine exhaled.
Clementine: “Not anymore. You’re obviously not lying.”
Clementine looked around, her eyes falling on the second Classroom’s door.
Clementine: “Why were you looking inside that Classroom?”
???: “I just… woke up, and was exploring… I think 10 minutes ago?”
Clementine placed her hand on her chin. Looking over at Stephanie and then the Classroom’s door. Squinting her eyes.
Clementine: *Where the hell are we…*
Clementine: “Well, what do you remember before waking up here?”
???: “Well… I was taking a stroll around the town, found a cute bear plushie and wanted to take it then…”
Clementine: “And then?”
???: “I must’ve blacked out… I don’t remember, but I woke up here.”
The Girl smiled, she jumped in the air and did a spin.
???: “Oooh… I haven’t asked! What’s your name? Excuse my rudeness earlier…”
Clementine: “I’m the one who tried to hurt you. I should be apologizing.”
Clementine: *What a weird girl…*
Clementine: “Anyway. I’m Clementine.”
Stephanie: “Oooh! What a pretty name! I’m Stephanie, Ultimate Dancer! I’m from LazyTown!”
STEPHANIE, ULTIMATE DANCER
Clementine: “Ultimate… Dancer…?”
Stephanie: “Yes! I woke up with this name card in my pocket, saying I’m the Ultimate Dancer… whatever it means! I agree with it! I don’t know why or how we’re here but I hope we’re safe!”
Stephanie giggled happily, smiling.
Clementine reached into her pocket. She found a name card. It had her name, along with a talent below her name. “Ultimate Zombie Survivalist”
CLEMENTINE, ULTIMATE ZOMBIE SURVIVALIST
Clementine: “Apparently I’m the… Ultimate Zombie Survivalist? Is that what they call a Walker?”
Stephanie: “I don’t even know what a Zombie or a Walker is.”
Clementine returned her name card into her pocket.
Stephanie: “Well, what should we do next? I mean we’re both pretty confused about this but…”
Clementine: “But?”
Stephanie: “It looks like a school.”
Clementine: “I think that was obvious… with the classrooms and hallways… but the lighting is really weird.”
Stephanie: “Yeah! And the windows are bolted shut. I guess we don’t have a way to escape.”
Clementine: “It’s obvious though. We got here from somewhere, so there should be a way out.”
Stephanie: “Should we continue exploring together?”
Clementine paused, thinking about their…temporary cooperation.
Clementine: *She seems… sweet and innocent. Although I don’t mean to judge based on her appearance… But should I trust her for the time being?*
Clementine: “I guess we could check this place out… But don’t try funny shit, alright?”
Stephanie placed her arms in the air.
Stephanie: “Yayyyy!! We go up, up, and do the jump!”
Clementine: “...Yeah I’m not doing that. Let’s go.”
Clementine turned down Stephanie, confused by her strange enthusiasm. Clementine and Stephanie walked across the hallway, arriving at a tree in the middle. Somehow surviving without Sunlight, more windows having metal plates and bolted shut. They searched around, finding another classroom. Stephanie happily opened the door and went in. Clementine on the other hand was a lot more careful and wary of her surroundings.
Stephanie gasped. Running happily to the… odd creature on the desk.
Clementine: “More bolted windows… Stephanie where are you going?”
Stephanie: “You’re so cute!! What’s your name? I’m Stephanie.”
The Unknown creature looked at Stephanie, confused and puzzled before smiling cutely at her.
Clementine: “Stephanie we don’t know what that… is. You shouldn’t try to hug it!”
Stephanie: “He’s harmless! And not a thing.”
???: “Hey… I’m not a thing… I can talk! Poyo!”
The Creature smiled, doing a little taunt.
Stephanie: “Awww… you’re so cute! What’s your name?”
Kirby: “I’m Kirby. Ultimate Star Warrior! Hehe…”
KIRBY, ULTIMATE STAR WARRIOR
Clementine: “What exactly… are you?”
Kirby: “Poyo! I’m a Kirby!”
Clementine: “Uh-huh…”
Clementine: *Seriously, can this place get any weirder? First a cheerful little girl and…this round thing.*
Stephanie: “Awww… I hope you stay safe though!”
Kirby: “Poyo! You too! I… really like you! Can we be friends?"
Stephanie: “You don’t have to ask! We’re all friends here, me, you and Clementine!”
Clementine: *I guess we’re friends now? This situation is odd.*
Stephanie: “We should do a dance! Doing some silly words too!”
Stephanie happily clapped her hands, spinning and doing the splits.
Stephanie: “Come on! You should do it too!”
Kirby was confused but he spun around, he couldn’t do the splits. It was impossible after all.
Clementine: “...I’m not doing that. Look, it’s nice and all but we still have to figure out where we are.”
Stephanie sighed in defeat, standing back up. But she quickly smiled, holding her hand in a high-five and Kirby returned it.
Clementine: “Should we split up? Because I have a feeling you two are going to dance. All the time.”
Kirby and Stephanie giggled.
Stephanie: “Maaaaaaaybe…”
Kirby: “Poyo! Dancing is fun!”
Kirby: “I did notice there is a monitor here…”
Clementine: “Outside too. And surveillance cameras.”
Stephanie: “They must be used by someone… right? What if we’re going to make a video!”
Clementine: “You’re awfully optimistic. But we need that here.”
Stephanie: “Hehe! You have to smile to be happy! It’s a small gesture.”
Kirby: “Yeah! Poyo!”
Clementine awkwardly smiled, before chuckling to herself.
Clementine: “I look stupid. But we should continue exploring the school…”
Stephanie and Kirby nodded.
Clementine, Stephanie and Kirby ventured out of the Classroom.
Stephanie: “I’m hungry…”
Clementine: “That sign over there. A fork and a spoon. A cafeteria maybe?”
Stephanie: “I hope they have Sportscandy!”
Kirby: “Sportscandy? What’s that… Is it sweet and really tasty?! Poyo!”
Stephanie: “Yeah! Carrots, Apples, Tomatoes, Bananas…and so much more!”
Clementine: “...Those are just vegetables and fruit.”
Clementine: “You should call them as they are.”
Stephanie: “Yeah I know but Sportacus named them like that!”
Kirby: “Who’s Sportacus? Poyo?”
Stephanie: “One of my best friends!”
Clementine: “You guys are awesome and all, but we really need to eat…Okay? We can chat later.”
Clementine opened the Dining Hall’s doors, entering the place. It had a normal looking floor, with various tables and chairs, through a window leading into the kitchen, from what could Clementine see, the back had a Kitchen along with a walk-in fridge and piles of Fruit and Vegetables. There’s a pantry as well, containing food that can’t be stored in a Fridge.
Stephanie: “Woah…”
Near a door on the side, someone was standing, It was a girl, in some kind of a school uniform. She looked rather aloof, gazing upon a door on the side of the dining hall, her eyes examining the door, as it had a bear-like symbol. The girl had turned around as quick as lightning, her expression was strange. Her face had a twisted yet emotionless expression, a silent threat. Although that didn't deter the innocent Stephanie and Kirby. Clementine knew she couldn't trust this girl, something was off about her.
???: “...”
???: “Who are you…?”
Stephanie: “Hiya! I'm Stephanie! And this is Clementine and Kirby!”
The girl stared for a few moments in silence, and dropped her expression, shifting to an emotionless one. The twisted expression disappearing.
???: “You seem harmless.”
Kirby and Stephanie happily waved at her.
Clementine narrowed her eyes.
Clementine: “Hey… are you the one behind this? If you are, I'll beat your fucking head to a pulp.”
???: “You think I’m behind this? You don’t even know who I am…”
Kirby: “That's true!”
???: “No. I just woke up here after seeing a bear on my way back home. This design... the one on the door. I've never seen it before. It's identical to the plushie I'd seen.”
Kirby: “Me too!”
Stephanie: “Me three!”
???: “...”
Clementine: *She seems... strange and creepy. I shouldn't assume anything at first.*
Stephanie: “Oooooooh! I love your ponytail! I want to know how you styled it!”
???: “...Thanks. It’s average and easy to do. Maybe later.”
Kirby: “What’s your name? Poyo?”
Yandere-Chan: “I’m Ayano Aishi, but I am mostly referred to by my nickname, Yandere-Chan. I am… the Ultimate Yandere.”
YANDERE-CHAN, ULTIMATE YANDERE
Clementine: “What’s a Yandere?”
Yandere-Chan: “...A yandere is someone who protects their love, their senpai, no matter the cost, doing anything for them… even hurting others.”
Clementine: “You kill others? That's fucking twisted.”
Yandere-Chan: “I never said I killed people... I only protect my Senpai.”
Kirby: “What's a Senpai? Like a best friend? Poyo?”
Stephanie: “Or a family member?”
Yandere-Chan: “Like a lover.”
Yandere-Chan had a stoic expression on her face, although something felt odd around her. Having an ominous aura.
Clementine: “Did you meet anyone else on your way here?”
Yandere-Chan: “Yes. Some people. But they left the Dining Hall a while ago. I don’t know where they are now.”
Clementine: *She’s very helpful unlike those two… but she seems odd. Regardless, I need to get to the bottom of this.*
Stephanie: “Come on! I have to introduce you to Sportscandy, Kirby!”
Stephanie grabbed Kirby’s hand, dragging him away into the Kitchen.
Yandere-Chan stood at the door, returning to examine the symbol on the door and deeply ponder its meaning.
Clementine: “I’ll go explore this place more… Can you tell Kirby and Stephanie that? I don’t want them to worry.”
Yandere-Chan gave Clementine a nod without looking in her direction, Clementine waved goodbye at Yandere-Chan, leaving the Dining Hall.
Clementine looked around, she walked up to one of the shut windows. She pulled the metal plate once again with all her might, unable to get it off. She looked at the bolts, trying to twist them using her hands and failing to even move it for a little.
Clementine: *Damn it. Looks like these won’t budge, not in a classroom or here…*
Clementine: *There must be a way out…right?*
???: “Blululululululululululu… Chicken drumsticks…”
Clementine looked behind her, she found a little girl who looked like a fairy. Sleeping soundly.
Clementine: *What’s a kid doing here? I mean, Stephanie is a teenager but… this one?*
Clementine approached the sleeping little girl, shaking her.
???: “Wh… Huh?”
???: “Was Paimon just dreaming now…?”
The little girl began floating in the air. Clementine stood up and looked at her.
???: “Where is Paimon…”
Clementine: “I’m just as confused as you, fairy.”
Paimon: “Hey! Paimon is not a fairy! Paimon is Paimon!”
Clementine: “I didn’t mean to upset you, sorry.”
Clementine exhaled.
Paimon: “Who are you and… what is this place…”
Paimon: “Eugh…Paimon feels dizzy…”
Paimon placed her hand on her forehead.
Clementine: “Beats me. We’re at a school I guess but…It’s really weird here.”
Clementine: “I met 3 other people earlier, I tried taking the metal plates and bolts off but I couldn’t do it.”
Paimon: “Let Paimon try!”
Clementine: “Knock yourself out.”
Clementine stood behind Paimon, she pulled the plate and bolts with all her might.
Paimon: “Paimon is wiped out…”
Paimon: “Wait…Paimon is stuck here?! Oh no…”
Clementine: “Oh yeah, what’s your ultimate?”
Paimon: “Ultimate?”
Clementine: “Reach in your pocket or whatever storage you use in your clothes. There should be a name card.”
Paimon was confused, reaching into her boots and finding a name card.
Paimon: “Paimon’s talent is… Ultimate Guide…”
Paimon: “Ehe! That’s super true! I’m the best guide in all of Teyvat!”
PAIMON, ULTIMATE GUIDE
Clementine: “Teyvat?”
Paimon: “You don’t know what Teyvat is? It’s where Paimon comes from!”
Clementine: “It sounds like a cool place, but we should… find out where we are.”
Paimon: “Hehe! Can Paimon come? Please? Paimon’s the best Guide! Trust Paimon!”
Clementine: “Okay okay! You’re lucky you’re a mascot.”
Paimon: “Hey! Paimon’s no mascot! Eughhhh… Don’t let Paimon give you an ugly nickname!”
Clementine: “I’m joking! Don’t worry!”
Paimon: “Hmph! That’s right! Or Paimon would’ve made fun of your…hat!”
Clementine glared at her.
Paimon: “Ehehehe… on second thought… Paimon is going to stop…”
Clementine let out a sigh, she turned to look around. In the distance she spotted a room that was sealed off with police tape.
Clementine: “Did a crime happen there?"
Paimon: “Eeeeek! P-Paimon is scared now… Don’t say creepy stuff!”
Clementine: “Regardless, I think the place must be sealed off for a reason…”
Paimon: “P-Paimon doesn’t think you should go in there… It’s a little dangerous.”
Clementine thought for a moment. Looking around her, she got close to the police tape, examining it. At the end was a gate, a locked one as well.
Clementine: “Even if I tore down the tape, I think the entrance is locked.”
Paimon: “Locked? By who?”
Clementine: “Beats me.”
Paimon: “Is- Is it a ghost!? Who took Paimon here?!”
Clementine laughed to herself, slightly amused.
Clementine: “I don’t think so, a Ghost wouldn’t be able to carry us. Remember? You can go through them.”
Paimon: “Yeah but… one time, Paimon met this ghost and…”
Clementine: “We should continue, as I said. Chat later.”
Paimon: “Hmph… Paimon thinks we should chat- Hey! Wait for Paimon!”
Clementine walked off, Paimon had no choice but to follow her. Floating behind Clementine.
Paimon: “Where are we going?”
Clementine: “Somewhere.”
Paimon: “You don’t sound so sure, Clementine…”
Paimon: “Hey! Is that a ghost? Eeeeeeeeek! Protect Paimon!”
Clementine looked in the distance, finding a strange puppet that floated in the air, having a strange mask and a frozen smiling yet teary expression.
Clementine: “Paimon don’t be rude… they might be nice. And I don’t think It’s a ghost…”
Paimon: “O-Okay be careful though!”
???: “Hello.”
Clementine: “You look…odd. Hi.”
Paimon: “Hey! You just said not to be rude!”
The puppet looked at Paimon. Moving closer and hugging her.
Clementine: “Awww…you made a new friend, Paimon!”
Paimon: “P-Please let me go!”
The puppet listened to Paimon’s pleads, nodding and pulling away. Paimon immediately hid behind Clementine.
Clementine: “What’s your name? I’m Clementine.”
???: “That’s a beautiful name.”
The Marionette: “I’m The Marionette. Ultimate Soul Giver…”
THE MARIONETTE, ULTIMATE SOUL GIVER
Clementine: “Wait, so you actually give life?”
Paimon: “That’s pretty scary…”
The Marionette: “Yes. It is my purpose… after I was murdered. I have to make sure no one gets hurt…”
The Marionette: “Especially children… Paimon, please do not hesitate to come to me… I’m very aware of everything.”
Paimon: “O-Okay…but don’t hurt Paimon!”
The Marionette: “I won’t… I will take good care of you and any children in distress…”
Clementine: “It’s nice to meet you, Marionette. Any idea on what this place is? And… any exits?”
The Marionette shook their head.
The Marionette: “No to both questions.”
Paimon whispered to Clementine.
Paimon: “Can we go now… Paimon is scared…”
Clementine turned to face Paimon.
Clementine: “Yeah but, we should explore this place once more…”
Before they knew it, The Marionette had disappeared. Leaving no traces behind them. Clementine and Paimon looked at each other, confused.
Paimon: “Phew…they’re gone…They gave Paimon the creeps!”
Clementine: “Don’t be rude, Paimon.”
Paimon: “Hey! You were rude to Paimon so don’t act innocent!”
Clementine: “We should get back to the dining hall.”
Paimon giggled excitedly, jittering her legs quickly with happiness.
Paimon: “I hope there’s good food!”
Clementine: “Yeah, it’s packed with so many things…”
Paimon: “Hehe! We could make Sweet Madames, Bamboo Shoot Soup... and Mixed Yakisoba!”
Clementine: *Seriously, is she a glutton…?*
Paimon: “Okay! Let’s keep going!”
Paimon happily floated away into the Dining Hall. Clementine followed her, Yandere-Chan was sitting on a table near the Kitchen's doors, while Stephanie and Kirby were sitting at the same table, it looked like it was the Main table. Chatting with one another, excluding Yandere-Chan who was silently sitting by herself.
Stephanie: “Hello Clementine! Welcome back! You found another person?”
Clementine: “Mhm. I found this little girl.”
Stephanie: “She’s an interesting Mascot.”
Paimon: “Hey! Paimon’s not a mascot! Paimon is Paimon!”
Stephanie: “I'm joking! Hehe!”
Kirby: “Hello. I’m Kirby, Ultimate Star Warrior. Poyo!”
Yandere-Chan: “I’m Yandere-Chan, or Ayano… Ultimate Yandere...”
Stephanie: “I’m Stephanie! Ultimate Dancer! We should do a dan-”
Yandere-Chan: “It’s a little too early, Stephanie. We should understand our situation first.”
Clementine: “Yandere-Chan is right. We still don’t have any intel or information.”
Paimon: “Yeah! Paimon and Clementine tried to move the metal plates but nothing.”
Paimon: “Paimon’s hands are so sore now…”
Kirby: “We don’t know anything? Did you meet any new friends? Poyo!”
Clementine: “We met a puppet… They were really weird and scary...”
Paimon: “Yes! They scared Paimon half to death-”
???: “BOO!”
Paimon: “EEEEEEEEEEEK!”
???: “Did I scare you?”
Paimon: “Is it the new rage to scare Paimon half to death?!”
???: “Come on, I was joking!”
Kirby: “Who are you? Poyo? Cool hair!!!”
???: “Hehe, thanks! It’s not my actual hair… like, Squid tentacles, you know?”
Stephanie: “That’s so cool!”
Clementine: “You still haven’t introduced yourself.”
Agent 8: “Oh yeah, sorry! I’m Agent 8. Ultimate Station Tester.”
AGENT 8, ULTIMATE STATION TESTER
Yandere-Chan: “Agent 8?”
Agent 8: “I’m part of this… thing. Squidbeak Splatoon. A team of agents and I’m Agent 8! You can call me Eight too, my true name is... well. I don't know!”
Agent 8 smiled happily, striking a pose. Smiling and revealing his teeth along with his hands resting on his hips, laughing.
Agent 8: “Woomy!”
Stephanie: “Woomy?”
Agent 8: “It’s like encouragement and power, It’s really popular among the Inklings and Octolings!”
Kirby: “Woah you’re so cool! Poyo!”
Agent 8: “Hehe, Thank you! What’s this place any way?”
Paimon: “You better apologize to Paimon!”
Clementine: “We don’t know where we are. It’s really confusing.”
Suddenly random cluttering sounded in the kitchen, of pots and pans. Clementine couldn’t see who was inside but she knew the others had met them. They all had an annoyed expression on their faces, except for Paimon who was just as confused as Clementine and Yandere-Chan, who had the same stoic expression no matter the situation.
Agent 8: “It’s that fat guy again. He’s really annoying.”
Clementine: “Sounds like an asshole.”
Agent 8: “That’s generous though.”
Stephanie: “You already met him?”
Agent 8: “We woke up in the same classroom, the one near the Dining Hall. He kept blabbering about random things, I wasn’t really focused. I just wanted to get away from him.”
Paimon: “He sounds like a meanie… Paimon doesn’t like him already!”
Clementine: “Weren’t you just mad at Agent 8.”
Paimon: “Oh yeah! You need to apologize for scaring Paimon!”
Agent 8: “Come on, it was a joke! But… sure. I’m sorry.”
Clementine: “How many people are there?”
Yandere-Chan: “We don’t know, to be fair.”
Clementine: “Myself, Paimon, Yandere-Chan, Agent 8, Stephanie, Kirby, The Marionette from earlier and that guy you hate… that’s 8 people.”
Paimon: “Ugh… Paimon is super tired already…”
Paimon sighed in defeat, lying down on the table, defeated and tired.
Clementine: “Uhhh… you guys stay here. I’ll check the kitchen out, and might grab a snack. For myself and Paimon.”
The Group of people nodded, Clementine entered the Kitchen.
An obese middle aged man was crouched, looking over and searching the cabinets. Clanking Pots and Pans, he seemed to search for something.
???: “C’mon there has to be! I’m not going to be stuck here without a glass of Beer or somethin’!”
Clementine: “What are you doing?”
???: “Hehehehe! Are you the one behind this!? Aw sweet! I’m starving, can ya tell me where the food is?!”
Clementine: “Errr… no? I’m not. I’m not the one behind this...”
???: “Do ya see any beer or booze or something? I need to relax.”
Clementine: “No, what makes you think I know where anything is?”
???: “Well we’re trapped here, and you look like an expert little lady.”
Clementine: “You’re a creepy dumbass.”
???: “A Dumbass with talent!”
Clementine: “What’s your name, anyway? You better not try funny shit. I'm-”
Peter Griffin: “Woah calm down little lady! Me first! I’m Peter Griffin. The Ultimate Father!”
PETER GRIFFIN, ULTIMATE FATHER
Clementine: “Ultimate Father? That’s a weird talent.”
Peter: “I’m an awesome guy, got a beautiful wife, dog and children, all what a man can ask for!”
Peter: “Now what are their names…”
Clementine: “So you remember… having a beer and not your own children's names?”
Clementine: *Well the others weren’t wrong. The guy’s a creep.*
Peter: “What? It’s not a crappy thing to do. Hehehehehe… Did ya see any pretty ladies here?”
Peter leaned in and whispered to Clementine.
Peter: “If you find me a beer… we could share the bottle!”
Clementine: “Like hell I’ll drink right now! We just met. And I’d rather be sober.”
Peter: “So? I’m not like those parents who don’t shut up about their kids!”
Clementine: “You aren’t really making yourself look good, Peter.”
Peter: “Hey! Don’t say that about me! Anyway, I gotta get back to the beer! I’m so frickin' ready!”
Clementine had a confused yet uncomfortable expression, slowly backing away from the strange man who was searching for a single drop of alcohol. She reached over and grabbed a chocolate bar, walking out into the Dining Hall.
Clementine: “Hey, Paimon, I brought this for you.”
Paimon: “A chocolate bar for Paimon?! Thank you so much Paimon loves you!!!”
Clementine laughed, sighing.
Clementine: “You guys were right, that man is being annoying. And a bad father too.”
Agent 8: “See? Told you!”
Kirby: “Me and Stephanie met him earlier...”
Clementine ignored the discussion behind her, sticking her head out into the hallway and looking to the side. She continued wandering, stumbling upon a hallway. The doors being 20. Having each person, she found one that belonged to her. Having her picture on it.
Clementine: *A Dormitory… there’s a full hallway of them.*
Clementine continued walking along the Hallway, she heard a voice call out for her. Their voice very young, she turned behind her and found Paimon floating very fast. Quickly standing in front of Clementine.
Paimon: “Hey!! Don’t forget Paimon!”
Paimon continued panting.
Clementine: “Oh right, sorry. But… why are you tired? Isn’t flying supposed to not tire you?”
Paimon: “Ugh- Rude! Paimon can get tired from flying, too!”
Clementine looked behind her, looking more into the rooms.
Clementine: “These are our… dorms?”
Paimon: “That’s creepy… How did they know what Paimon looked like?”
Clementine: “Pretty sure if they kidnapped us, they would know how we looked. Not just you.”
Paimon: “Hey, are you calling Paimon stupid?!”
Clementine: “Don’t put words in my mouth, Paimon!”
Clementine turned to face the end of the hallway, finding someone. A Pony.
Clementine: *What’s a pony doing here? She’s really cute though.*
Paimon: “Let’s go say hi!”
Paimon flew away before Clementine could reply, so she had no choice but to follow her.
Clementine: “Hello. What’s your name?”
Paimon: “Paimon’s Paimon and this is Clementine! She’s a big meanie!”
Clementine: “You’re the one who keeps taking everything personally.”
The Pony seemingly jolted at the sound of Paimon and Clementine introducing themselves, shakily turning to face them, her pink hair covering her left eye, she was very timid and her voice fragile.
???: “I-I’m… Flu…”
???: “Flutter…”
Paimon: “You’re taking a long time to say your name…”
Clementine: “You just called me rude when you’re the one forcing her to talk.”
Fluttershy: “F-Fluttershy! Ultimate K-Kindness!”
The Pony blurted out, incredibly pressured by Paimon’s unintentional nagging.
FLUTTERSHY, ULTIMATE KINDNESS
Fluttershy: “S-Sorry…! forgive my yelling…”
Fluttershy: “I’m… the Ultimate Kindness.”
Clementine: “Is that a thing?”
Fluttershy: “Y-Yes… I am part of the Elements of Harmony, a group of ponies who each have their own special trait that create a strong bond of friendship. I’m the Element of Kindness...”
Paimon: “So cool! Hehe!”
Fluttershy: “T-Thanks… I have um... something, for you…”
Clementine: "Found any exits yet?"
Fluttershy: “I haven't found anything about an exit... I hope we aren't trapped here...”
Fluttershy walked to a corner, biting into a flower and returning to Clementine and Paimon, smiling timidly and raised herself upwards. Placing the flower in Paimon’s hair.
Paimon: “Awww… Thanks… Paimon will stay with Fluttershy… You can go without Paimon!”
Clementine crossed her arms, smiling.
Clementine: “Alright, stay safe… I’ll continue exploring.”
Fluttershy trotted away, with Paimon following closely behind. They seem to be already friends, best friends even. Paimon kept talking while Fluttershy listened, as they disappeared into the distance. Clementine felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned to face the person who tapped her shoulder. The person in question was a purple cloud-like being.
Clementine: “A cloud?”
???: “Oh my glob. And here I was trying to give you advice on skin care! You’re being offensive right now!”
Clementine: “Sorry? I came from the Apocalypse. You think I care about some shit like Skin Care?”
???: “You’re really rude, woman! So don’t lumping yell at me!”
Clementine: “...Lumping?”
???: “Ugh you obviously don’t understand my slang.”
Clementine: “You still haven’t introduced yourself.”
???: “Ugh, like I’ll ever do that! I was going to introduce you to my Gal Pals.”
Clementine: “You and your friends ended up here?”
???: “No? I made friends here. I’m the Queen Bee out of them.”
???: “Here are my Gal Pals!”
The Lumpy person pointed at the group, A woman with long ponytail, a strange robot, and a Tall woman with glasses and revealing clothing. They were quite flashy.
???: “That’s Ariana, Bayonetta and Codsworth.”
Clementine: “So you introduced them and not yourself?”
???: “Ugh! I was getting to that part!”
LSP: “I’m Lumpy Space Princess, LSP for short. The Ultimate Princess for a reason, duh!”
LUMPY SPACE PRINCESS, ULTIMATE PRINCESS
Clementine: "The Ultimate Princess?"
LSP: "Yeahhhh, I'm like, royalty or whatever..."
LSP: “Okay so we all look really hot, I’d ask you to join our group but you’re really rude.”
Clementine: “Literally one of your members is a robot. And a male one. I’m not assuming right? And you were an ass to me earlier.”
???: “No, Ms. I am a Mr. Handy Robot. Made to assist you in every way, Ms. LSP has been taking care of me for the past hour.”
LSP: “See how awesome I am? You can’t beat that. And I wasn’t… a butt to you, Clem… whatever.”
Clementine: “I lead a group of kids against a Walker apocalypse.”
LSP: “That’s nothing, Clem… whatever.”
LSP whispered to herself “What’s a lumping walker…”
Clementine: “It’s Clementine. That’s my name. You should call me by that.”
Clementine: “Aren’t you guys going to introduce yourselves? Not you LSP. The others.”
???: “Sure… but… nevermind, I guess I'll do it…”
LSP: “Seriously Ariana? It’s not like you’re allowed to do that!”
???: “I believe Ms. Ariana must decide for herself.”
LSP: “Ugh fine because this awesome Diva is saying so.”
Ariana: “Heya, I'm Ariana Grande, Ultimate Pop Sensation. I hope we can be friends!”
ARIANA GRANDE, ULTIMATE POP SENSATION
LSP: “Seriously? You don't have to take the spotlight off of me, Ariana.”
Ariana: “You don't have to be so rude and a bitch all the time, LSP. And I didn't agree to being your little minion!”
LSP gasped loudly, placing her hand on her would-be lumpy chest with utter disbelief. Clementine and the two other unknown people tried to hide their laughter.
???: “May I speak, Princess?”
LSP: “Yeah, whateverrrrr... It's not like I have to boss you around...”
Codsworth: “Greetings, Ma'am. I am Codsworth. A Mr. Handy Robot created by General Atomics International, a Multi-purpose robot at your service!”
Clementine: “You seem like a cool guy, What's your Ultimate talent? You haven't told me that.”
Codsworth: “Excuse my unprofessionalism... Ultimate Housekeeper. I'm able to cook, clean, do laundry and fulfill your desires relating to house chores!”
CODSWORTH, ULTIMATE HOUSEKEEPER
???: “As for me, I'm the fucking celebrity of this place, Bayonetta! Ultimate Witch!”
LSP: “Oh my god you don't have to act so extra!”
Ariana: “Says the drama queen...”
BAYONETTA, ULTIMATE WITCH
Bayonetta: “Fuck off, Lumpy thing. None of us agreed to working to you!”
LSP: “Traitors! Jerks! You're still my divas!”
Clementine: “It was nice chatting but... I have to go...”
Clementine's words were drowned by the sounds of Bayonetta, Ariana and LSP arguing. LSP forcing the two girls into being her minions, and Codsworth standing there. Not wanting to intervene and possibly get smashed to pieces.
Clementine slowly walked off, leaving the Dormitory's halls. She wandered for a few moments, coming across a classroom, the same one she met Kirby in. She carefully opened the door and entered the Classroom. Her eyes landed on the person in the classroom, a mouse. And a vintage looking one, too. She approached the strange mouse, she was already used to the weirdness of this place, so a talking Mouse wasn't out of the question. At least she assumed the mouse could talk.
???: “Hello there!”
Clementine: “Finally someone who's not odd.”
???: “Huh-ha! You're funny, friend!”
???: “Any memory of how we ended up here?”
Clementine shook her head. She never found out how she ended up here. And it seems like everyone she's met up until this point has no clue, either. She had a gut-feeling that this is not a good situation, not in the slightest.
Clementine: “Nope. I don't know, It's like my memory has been wiped... somewhere between me finding a plushie to waking up here. It's been an hour since I woke up...I'm totally guessing because I haven't seen a clock but years on the road gets you to learn how time works.”
???: “Are you homeless? I may be able to help you! Once we leave, I can find you a place! Huh-ha!”
Clementine: “Thanks but I'm not homeless, well. Kind of. I'm always on the road due to an apocalypse but enough about me, what about you? What's your name?”
Mickey Mouse: “Boy am I glad you asked! My name is Mickey Mouse! the Ultimate Mascot!”
MICKEY MOUSE, ULTIMATE MASCOT
Mickey Mouse held his hand out for a handshake, and Clementine smiled. Shaking his hand, she found solace in this place already. Although she couldn't trust him completely. That's how she was taught and grew up to know that you shouldn't trust anybody. They have to earn it.
Mickey Mouse: “Boy this classroom sure is strange, the metal plates and bolts...no teachers too!”
Clementine: “I did notice that. It's eerily empty, except for the few people I've met here. They're all... unique. To put it simply.”
Mickey Mouse: “Hmm... I believe we're all special! Huh-ha! But to get back on the topic, have you found an exit?”
Clementine: “Nope. Nothing, It's like we're actually trapped her... but by who?”
Mickey Mouse: “It's really scary...”
Clementine: “Well this classroom doesn't offer anything important... how about we get out there? It'll be good if we meet some other people.”
Mickey Mouse: “Yeah! I noticed the dorms near the classroom, they had a lot of dorms... I didn't count them.”
Clementine: “They were 20.”
Mickey Mouse: “That's a lot of people! Huh-Ha!”
Clementine: “We better get going.”
Mickey Mouse: “Agreed!”
And with that, Clementine and Mickey Mouse left the Classroom. Walking side by side, it took them quite a while as they entered a hospital-like room, most likely the Infirmary, the smell of alcohol and chemicals stinging her nose, it looked well-kept too.
Mickey Mouse: “Boy this is beautiful! Even though it's an Infirmary, it feels like home! Huh-Ha!”
???: “I didn't notice this place when I first woke up, are you two friends!?”
Clementine was about to reply but Mickey Mouse was faster.
Mickey Mouse: “Yup Yup! Huh-Ha! We're friends, do you have any friends?”
???: “Well... I'm not just a friend! I'm...”
SpongeBob: “SpongeBob Squarepants. The Ultimate Friend! So I'm friends with everyone!”
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, ULTIMATE FRIEND
Clementine: “Hello there, I'm Clementine...”
Mickey Mouse: “And I'm Mickey Mouse! Huh-Ha!”
SpongeBob: “You look super awesome! I'd love to be your friend!!!”
Clementine: “I'd ask if Ultimate Friend is a talent but... the others have weirder ones.”
SpongeBob: “Weird? Like what?”
Clementine: “The others should tell you that.”
Mickey Mouse: “Although it's awfully quiet here! Huh-ha!”
SpongeBob: “Oh yeah! Let me introduce my friend! He's super shy but really kind!”
As if on cue, SpongeBob quickly walked behind curtain, the ones used by Patients when they want privacy, dragging a teenage boy, he had blonde hair with a flower in his hair. He held a photo album in his hands, very timid and nervous. SpongeBob gave him just the push to speak and introduce himself.
SpongeBob: “Come on! You have to see my new friends. They can be your friends, too!”
???: “...Yeah, alright... I'm Basil...”
Mickey Mouse: “Hello there Basil! I'm Mickey Mouse! And this is Clementine.”
Clementine: “You're the same age as me, and you seem cool so, hey!”
SpongeBob: “Tell them your ultimate talent!”
Basil: “Oh... uh... I'm the Ultimate... Gardener...”
BASIL, ULTIMATE GARDENER
Clementine: “Finally a normal talent... but It's cool regardless.”
Basil: “Normal? Do the others have... not normal ones...?”
Mickey Mouse: “I dunno! Huh-Ha!”
Clementine: “Oh yeah definitely. A father, Yandere, There was an Ultimate Soul Giver, a Kindness pony, some floating fairy named Paimon who's a guide? Really weird shit.”
Basil: “Well... I think they're beautiful regardless, you know? Everyone is unique in their own way.”
SpongeBob: “Bahahahahuahuah! You're already fitting in, Basil. I already told you they're cool.”
Basil: “Heh... thanks. I agree, they seem kind...”
Mickey Mouse: “Seem? We *are* kind! Silly Basil... Huh-Ha!”
Clementine: “Shouldn't we find any other people? I think we need to get to know the other people...”
???: “Hoo-Hoo! Here I am! The Paleontologist!”
SpongeBob: “Oh that's just my other friend! He speaks a lot of fancy words so I don't know what he's saying exactly...”
???: “Hello Hello!”
Basil: “Blathers... you shouldn't have scared us like that...”
Mickey Mouse: “That's a unique and beautiful name! Huh-Ha!”
Blathers: “I am Blathers, the Ultimate Museum Curator. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I do hope this is a business opportunity.”
BLATHERS, ULTIMATE MUSEUM CURATOR
Blathers: “Hoo-Hoo! I'm quite the intelligent Owl, you're an interesting bunch. I'd like to study your biology if possible!”
Clementine: “So you'll cut us open? That's... Dark.”
Blathers: “No no! I... most likely worded it strangely.”
Basil: “We should... leave the Infirmary, the smell... I'll just, go read a book...or something...”
SpongeBob: “Wait for me!”
Basil and SpongeBob quickly left the scene, leaving Mickey Mouse and Blathers. Blathers laughed as he took Mickey Mouse, dragging him away from Clementine.
Clementine: *Alone... again. I guess I'll just... get back into the halls.*
Clementine opened the Infirmary's doors and walked back to the Dormitory. She saw LSP, Bayonetta and Ariana still arguing. She scoffed to herself, tapping Codsworth on one of his three limbs.
Codsworth: “Oh goodness, you're finally here, Ms. Clementine... The three women have been fighting ever since you left, I do not wish to intervene as... I do not want to risk being damaged.”
Clementine: “We should sneak away. Explore the place a little bit.”
Codsworth thought for a moment, a little startled by the request.
Codsworth: “Understood.”
Clementine: “Alright! Awesome.”
Clementine and Codsworth snuck away, walking back to the Dining Hall. It was empty, Everyone had already left. Although there was an argument coming from the kitchen.
???: “I'm the better character!”
???: “No I am!”
???: “Seriously, both of you stop!”
Clementine and Codsworth exchanged looks, very confused at the sounds of the argument. Clementine couldn't believe she heard three fights already, two if you aren't counting everyone not liking Peter. She and Codsworth quickly rushed to the scene, finding two goofy looking people arguing with a high school girl trying to break the fight. The high school girl, and two people turned to look at Clementine and Codsworth.
Codsworth: “Excuse us for intruding, we heard the commotion and decided to check it out.”
Clementine: “You're being very loud. Can you tell us what's happening?”
???: “These two began fighting for no reason. Something about being the better character...”
???: “That's because both of our games are rivals and really popular!”
Clementine: “Games? What games?”
???: “Roblox and Minecraft!”
???: “Oh wow you really remembered my game, aren't you supposed to be stupid?”
???: “Wha- HEY! I might be stupid but I'm not an idiot! Of course I remembered your game.”
???: “Surprising, really.”
Codsworth: “If I may ask, just who are you two? And you... Ms.”
Roblox Noob: “I'm... Roblox Noob. Noob for short... Ultimate Robloxian.”
ROBLOX NOOB, ULTIMATE ROBLOXIAN
Roblox Noob: “And before you ask, I'm the better game. Roblox is better!”
???: “Seriously, both of you cut it out! You've been arguing for an hour now, almost two hours.”
Monika: “I'm Monika, Ultimate Club Leader. Pleasure to meet you.”
MONIKA, ULTIMATE CLUB LEADER
???: “I won't stop arguing until he admits what the better game is.”
Roblox Noob: “No! There's no way my game is worse- Oooo... food!”
???: “SERIOUSLY? He got distracted by food... I'm speechless.”
Clementine: “I don't think it's a good time to argue, given our situation...”
???: “He's probably the one behind this, making us stay here...”
Steve: “Anyway... I'm Steve. Ultimate Crafter... The better character.”
STEVE, ULTIMATE CRAFTER
Codsworth: “Very unique talents indeed sir!”
Monika: “Do you always address people with honorifics...? You don't have to.”
Codsworth: “Why yes! I'm a butler first and foremost, housekeeping is my second specialty.”
Clementine: “I'm guessing you're all as confused as everyone? No information on our situation, or what's going on?”
Clementine: *That's 20 people, alright...*
Steve and Monika shook their heads, while Roblox Noob was stuffing his face with snacks, Chips and Soda mainly. But before anyone could speak...
*DING DONG, BING BONG*
The Monitor in the Kitchen flickered to life, there was static, at first. Monika, Steve, Roblox Noob, Codsworth and Clementine turned to look at the Monitor. but it soon revealed a Bear-like silhouette.
???: “Aaaahem! Testing, testing! Mic check, one two… Oh, who am I kidding? I already know this thing works!”
The Voice echoed from the Monitor, the words echoing in Clementine's mind, she had a bad feeling but she couldn't place her finger on it, but it was definitely a bad situation. And she had to be careful from the person behind this.
???: “To all incoming students! I would like to begin the entrance ceremony at... right now! Please make your way to the gymnasium at your earliest convenience. I’ll be waiting...!”
The Monitor flickered off, along with a click. Just like it turned on, it turned off. Clementine was confused, along with Monika, Roblox Noob, Steve and Codsworth.
Steve: “Who was that?”
Monika: “I don't think we'll be able to find out... unless we go to the Gym.”
Roblox Noob: “Awww... man. I just started eating!”
Steve: “You almost cleaned out the entire pantry! Leave some for us, those are probably rations!”
Clementine: “The person in the monitor... they sound. Odd. They better not start any shit.”
Clementine cracked her knuckles, ready to fight if she needed to.
Clementine immediately left the Kitchen and Dining Hall. She wandered around before stumbling upon a double door. Above it had a sign that spelled “GYMNASIUM”. Clementine opened the door and entered, finding a trophy room. She proceeded to enter the Gym. Having a basketball court with various sports equipment lying around. She waited. The Gym began filling up with people slowly, all the people who previously introduced themselves to Clementine. And it would seem they already introduced themselves to one another, forming opinions of one another.
Yandere-Chan: “This must be the Gym. I hope the person behind the monitor arrives soon.”
Paimon: “Paimon thinks this place smells bad...”
Fluttershy: “I don't smell anything...”
The Marionette: “Perhaps it is the smell of rotten flesh?”
Stephanie: “Hey don't say scary things!”
Peter: “Aw man, I better find some Beer soon!”
LSP: “Great, fatty is here...”
Peter farted loudly.
Peter: “Hehehehe, the fart's coming to getcha!”
Ariana: “You're stinking up the place more than it already is! It smells like shit...”
SpongeBob covered his mouth using both hands, quite shocked at Ariana's vulgar response.
Kirby: “Is the person behind the Monitor late? Poyo?”
Basil: “I doubt it... they seemed very eager and excited to get things going...”
Paimon: “Or maybe they were bullied... and they're late... Now Paimon feels bad...”
Agent 8: “Don't feel bad...”
Monika: "I'm guessing they're lazy."
???: “I'm *not* a bullied victim or lazy!”
A sweet, sickly voice sounded from behind the podium. Anticipating their arrival, everyone turned to the direction of the voice. And something popped up...
The thing that popped up was... A bear.
Fluttershy: “A... teddy bear?”
Bayonetta: “Is this a joke? An actual teddy bear?”
Blathers: “And a fascinating one, indeed. Maybe I could study it?”
Monokuma: “I'm not a teddy bear! I am the lovable and kind headmaster of this school! Monokuma!”
Monokuma: “And no studying me! I'm Monokuma! The beloved headmaster, that's all you need to know.”
Mickey Mouse: “Huh-Ha! We look alike!”
Monokuma: “Puhuhuhuhu... I'm the better one. Monokuma!”
Ariana: “Wait wait wait... Headmaster?”
Monokuma: “Puhuhuhu... Yeah... I almost forgot.”
Clementine: “Just who are you?”
Monokuma: “None of you seriously know who I am? I am Monokuma. The iconic and lovable bear in the whole wide world!”
Yandere-Chan: “...I don't think anyone knows you.”
Roblox Noob: “You cut off my snacking time, you know! Apologize!”
Monokuma: “Gee... you're that mad? Oh no... what will I do?”
Kirby: “We could eat later! I can cook delicious food! Poyo!”
Stephanie: “Oooh yeah! I can help and we could-”
Monokuma: “We're getting off topic, people! Ahem. Now, let's begin the introductions.”
Monika: “Introductions to what, exactly?”
Steve: “What's this about? You owe us an explanation.”
Monokuma: “I don't you owe you anything! Geez let me explain... you need to learn to respect your elders, block head!”
Monokuma: “As I was saying. You're beginning your school life... you will live a communal life within the confines of the school! Which is why there are no ways to escape, the windows and doors are blocked. Everyone will live together in harmony and adhere to the rules and regulations of the school.”
Clementine: “Some of us already graduated or don't need school.”
Monokuma: “To explain the end date of this... communal school life... the end date is... Never! You will stay here until the day you die!”
Fluttershy: “W-What? Until the d-day we die...?!”
Stephanie: “What are you rambling about?!”
Basil: "W-What do you mean...?!"
Agent 8: “I still need to get back to Inkopolis, I can't stay here!”
Monokuma: “Too bad... anyway! We have a huuuuuuge budget so... you'll have all your needs met! Food, Water, Electricity and Oxygen!”
Ariana: “That's the least of our worries!”
Paimon: “Yeah...! P-Paimon doesn't want to live here forever! Paimon wants to go back to Teyvat!”
Peter: “Oh man this reminds me of when I got locked up by a gang of mobs who tried to rob me.”
Yandere-Chan: “I don't think this is the same situation.”
Peter: “Whatchu talkin' 'bout Winnie?!”
Mickey Mouse: "I don't think he's Winnie the Pooh... Winnie is a lot nicer!"
Codsworth: “May I call the local authorities?”
Monokuma: “And you're completely cut off from the outside world, so you don't have to worry about life after the school. It's going to be extra fun here!”
Monokuma: “Man you're all a bunch of skeptics... some of you were taught about Stranger Danger!”
The Marionette: “How unfortunate... it would seem we're abandoned and are going to be forgotten by the passing of time...it is very sad...”
Monokuma: “Oh yeah, the ceremony is over now! But I have to tell you one thing...there is one way you can leave the school. As headmaster, I've crafted a special clause for those of you who wish to leave! You can leave by disrupting the peace and harmony of this communal and wonderful school. That is the only way to graduate!”
Basil: “What do you mean by... disrupting the harmony...?”
Blathers: “Hoo-Hoo... You are speaking in fascinating riddles!”
Monokuma: “Puhuhuhu... Well, you know... If one person were to murder another. Stabbing, Strangling, Bludgeoning, Poisoning! Any method is wonderful, as long as you kill someone!”
A chill went down Clementine's spine, everyone else was shocked by the revelation, to kill another? That was inhumane. And downright a crime. Clementine herself had killed before but for survival... This was different. Even for her.
Monokuma: “Puhuhuhuhu! I bet that got your brain juices flowing! I just... find this so darn exciting! The Despair!”
Kirby: “Let us go! Poyo!”
Bayonetta: "Let us leave, don't fuck with me!"
Monokuma: “Stop talking about "Let us go"! From this moment on, this school is your life. Your world. Got it? Now...”
Monokuma took out devices, holding them with his hand. He tossed each device into their respective owner's hands.
Monokuma: “This is your Monopad! Be careful with it as it has all your information and can act as a key to some locations, such as your dorms! They are very durable so even if you try to break it... It's not going to work. Now this concludes the basic information you need! Get killing, Puhuhuhuhu! Now! Welcome to the Ultimate Academy for gifted juveniles!”
Ariana: “Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles? What are you talking about? We aren't Juveniles!”
And with that, Monokuma disappeared. Leaving everyone in a state of awe and despair.
Steve: “So, what now...?”
Bayonetta: “I got things to do... and he's saying we have to live here for our whole lives?!”
SpongeBob: “Who will feed Gary?! Who will work as the Fry-Cook for the Krusty Krabs?!”
Agent 8: “We can stay here or do the alternative...”
Mickey Mouse: “You mean...?”
Monika: "...To murder someone...?"
Fluttershy: “E-Eep...”
Paimon: “This is too scary for Paimon! Paimon wants to go home!”
LSP: “No one is thinking about murder, rightttttttttt?”
Peter: “Hell no!”
Codsworth: “Of course not, that is simply outrageous.”
Yandere-Chan: “But someone else could do that. We don't know when or how, or who. But It's possible given the situation.”
Basil: “Why are you saying stuff like this? It's really scary... Are you thinking about murder?”
Yandere-Chan: “No.”
Kirby: "But we're all friends! Friends won't kill each other!"
Stephanie: "Yeah! No one will kill!"
Blathers: "Other than our strange ultimate talents and names, we have no knowledge on each other."
The Marionette: “How mysterious... This is a unique situation, indeed.”
Roblox Noob: “Can we... trust anyone?”
Clementine: *Roblox Noob's words about trust... I don't trust anyone here but... this isn't the apocalypse. I don't know what will apply here. This is something else entirely, and... I still have to take care of AJ. I do hope the school can take care of him while I'm gone.*
To that question, no one had a response.
The Students looked at one another, attempting to read each other's thoughts. They were all complete strangers, forced into this Killing Game without prior warning, with no memory or knowledge on where they were, how they got here or who was behind this Killing Game. Everyone was unable to speak, not because they didn't want to - because they were afraid of one another and lacked the courage to utter a single syllable. The goal was direct and simple; you had to murder someone else. Although it was easy, it made the situation worse for everyone. Anyone could have vicious thoughts on one another. Some of them didn't know what the others were, being odd creatures. Who could they trust other than themselves?
And that's how the Killing School Life at the Ultimate Academy began...
