Well, if they graduate, how are they actually supposed to leave? Maybe through the only exit they can find. Mandatory Death Road runs

Clearly, the trick is that the first killer gets their execution replaced with one themed around a graduation ceremony. Bound up in all black, graduation cap with a crown of thorns, pulled along a train of sorts through the ceremony very slowly as a baking sun roasts them alive, until they finally get to the point where they'd accept their diploma... and they're dead from heat stroke.

I feel like there has to be a twist beyond just "Haha, you did a murder, so I'll kill you" since that wouldn't give everyone else incentive to keep killing after Chapter 1.

Hey, do you think this door is connected to Monokuma somehow? I think it might. But I don't know anything for sure. .png) You can't?.png) But the very fact this door is here makes me consider...a certain possibility. Huh? Cooperating with Monokuma?.png) W-Wait a minute! What do you mean by that!? It's only a hypothesis right now, but... consider this. Why *would* there be a hidden door here? If it were solely for Monokuma's use, he wouldn't need to hide it. He could just have the Monokubs or the Exisals protect it and keep it in plain sight. However...I can think of one reason that the door would be hidden. Maybe, but...I can't believe someone in our group could be working with Monokuma... I can't believe it either. That's why...to confirm my suspicions... I decided to set a little trap on this card reader. Of course, I was careful to make sure the dust wouldn't come loose accidentally. And I don't think the person swiping their card would notice or care about a little dust. So if we see dust on the floor, it means one of us used this door, right? Well...as I mentioned before, this is just a hypothesis. I have no evidence yet... But...if it is true... ....png) ...Anyway, that's what I had to tell you. Of course, I don't expect you to believe me. I just...wanted to tell you. No matter what. Y-Yeah... Well, let's head back. We shouldn't stay here too long. MUSIC: Beautiful Lie  Y-Yeah, I understand...    MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!   ... ... MUSIC: Darkness Time  The other Monokubs aren't here to bury Monokuma?  One of us is cooperating with Monokuma... It's just so hard to believe. But Shuichi trusts me... That's why he told me, right? Then...maybe I should believe it... ... Next time, the other shoe drops.

The fact that they discovered the Monokuma door so early is interesting. Is one of them working with Monokuma? Or is this a red herring meant to sow discord? Man, this is going so differently from the original, or really the pacing of any of the main line games. I gotta say, this is shaping up really nicely. I still can’t stand half the cast, but.... Also, Tenku harassing another girl, in what appears to be a suggestive manner? Now she can safely add “hypocrite” to the list of why she’s a horrendous person. What’s next, squishing defenseless ants?

 MUSIC: Mr. Monokuma's Lesson V3   When a series lasts for several seasons, eventually it'll run out of material. My memory has been awful lately. I wonder if it's cuz of how long the series has been going. Wait...what season are we on again? What material have we shown so far? Geez, I don't remember. Maybe it's cuz they've released so many at this point. Oh well! Anyway, we need new material for the Monokuma Theater! Please send your manuscripts, along with a 1,000 dollar application fee! If your entry is selected, you will receive a 100 dollar gift card! What a generous prize! Don't miss this opportunity! Send your applications today!   Day 3. MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!  ... ... NO MUSIC  Yesterday's conversation is still on my mind... I wonder what everyone else is doing. Are they already gathered at the dining hall? I guess I'll go for now... MUSIC: Cool Morning    .png) Ah... We're way past morning by this point. Huh, really? Didn't the morning announcement just play, though?.png) In prison, mornings were a lot earlier. We started at dawn. Th-That early? .png) Inside those prison walls... I lived a frighteningly disciplined life. Ummm...I suppose that sort of life sounds...healthy, I guess?.png) Hmph... Healthy body, healthy mind?.png) That's a bitter irony...Footstep sounds play.  Did I make him feel bad?   Morning... Maaan, I slept great last night. Y'know, this place is alright when there‘s nothing to worry about..png) Oh! So...how far have you gone with Shuichi?.png) Huh!? Wh-What are you talking about!? I just wanted to know how far you've gone exploring this place together, that's all. That's none of your business, Kokichi..png) Huh? What's with the attitude...? You're so mean! I thought you said we were friends, Kaede! But you were lying this whole time! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!.png) Yeah, well, you're lying too. .png) But you're right—I was lying. After all, we're just strangers to one another. That's why I don't really care what you and Shuichi do. Besides, even friends don't share *everything* with each other! Huh...? I'm more nervous around friends who share too much than strangers, really.More footsteps.    .png) Morning, Keebo..png) Everyone appears to have gathered at the dining hall again..png) Yup, looks like it..png) I'm thinking about heading over there as well, but... ....png) But? .png) It's been almost a full day since Monokuma was dispatched, but our situation hasn't changed..png) I'm just speculating, but what if... ...only Monokuma knew about this place? What if this location is not on any map? What if...no one is coming to rescue us? Huh? Maybe...we'll just be forgotten, and no one will ever find us again... Besides, we should be trying to escape, not waiting for someone to rescue us! Y-Yes...I apologize. I was overthinking things..png) It would be impossible to discreetly construct a facility such as this in the first place. Plus, if the professor knew I was missing, he would not rest until he found me. With his technology, he would rescue us! No matter where on earth this place is!.png) Yeah... On the other hand...it *has* only been one day. As much as we'd love to go home right now, we must wait in a calm, dignified manner!  Morning....png) Hmm, I see, I see! Are you finally ready to make an offering? Huh!? Right now!? S-Sorry! I still have anemia! .png) That's a bummer..png) Major bummer..png) This is a problem, though. I need an offering from someone to thank Atua for smiting Monokuma..png) Make sure you eat a big breakfast, 'kay? Hope your anemia clears up soooooon!Footsteps again.     .png) HAIYAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Whoa!.png) Oh! I'm so sorry about that! Good morning! Wh-What was that all about!? But I'm still full of energy, so I'm shouting to burn it off! I see... Anyway, exercise makes me nungry so I'm gonna head to the dining hall! See ya!  What's wrong?.png) Look at this. My nails are all messed up... It probably happened when we came here. And now I can't take good care of them. Your nails? Well, not really... But when you say nails, you mean nail art, right? I've never done it before..png) Oh, I see. Nails would just plain get in the way when playing piano, huh? Yeah.  Remember what we got from the demo? Good thing, too, because you can't buy presents yet at this point in the game. Huh? Are you sure? But, I can't just take it for free. Don't worry about it!.png) No, no. For things like this, we need an equivalent exchange. Equivalent exchange?.png) Oh, I got it! How about I do your nails later? I'm in awe at how poorly worded this question is. It's actually asking whether you want to take Tsumugi up on her offer, but it looks like the opposite is the case. Really!? Yay, please do! Then let's do it this afternoon... Oh! We can use the Game Room. Got it! Thanks a bunch! Yeah, see you later.  MUSIC: Becoming Friends   Yeah, seriously... Nyeh... I slept well last night. Also, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth by myself..png) You did all that with magic!? You're so amazing, Himiko! .png) This Atua seems to act in secret a lot....png) Because Atua smells of danger. But...when someone coming to get us?.png) Whoever does...I assume they will come today. There's no need to worry. .png) Why the long face? It's nothing... I figure no one would listen to some guy who can't even remember his own talent, right?.png) What do you mean?.png) Really, it's nothing. This is...quite the happy ending. NO MUSIC Without thinking, I had blurted that out loud, and now everyone was staring at me.MUSIC: Rise of the Ultimates I mean, it just seems too easy. I don't think it'll end like this..png) I wonder... Do you wish the killing game would have continued? N-No, not at all—.png) Then don't ruin our happy moment, you fuckin' skank! ....png) Hey, Kaede... I don't know what you're so worried about. But Monokuma is dead now. There's no way the killing game can continue, y'know? MUSIC: Mr. Monokuma's Lesson V3  Oh gently caress, I know what this means. .png) ...What? GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

It's a shame that site doesn't seem to randomise option order; if someone just ranks their favourite few and ignores the rest, the characters who naturally appear at the bottom are going to be disadvantaged. Doing the voting through full ranking of the cast is cool, though! Out of curiosity, when there are e.g. two Free Time slots in a row, are you planning to spend both slots with the overall winner of the vote, or are you planning to spend the first slot with the character in first place and the second slot with the character in second place?

I certainly have my own preferences, for... various reasons. Looking forward to seeing what the thread as a whole decides to go for!

Doing the voting through full ranking of the cast is cool, though! I suppose I could have just had people voting in the thread or used a Strawpoll that allowed people to check multiple options, but I felt like Poll & Match was the best possible option at the time. As for your second question, I'm going to spend both Free Time slots on one character, at least for now. Also, if you ever change your mind on a vote, make a new response and I'll erase your old one. I plan on keeping this first poll active for all of Chapter 1.

 MUSIC: Nightmare in the Locker   .png) Th-There's gotta be somethin' we can do... I can't die... The world needs my genius! I-I don't wanna... I...don't wanna die yet!Die...? Everyone's...going to die? Is dying the only choice?  .png) ...That's after we die, right? ...Did you have a course of action in mind?.png) I'm...gonna start thinking of one right now! ...Figures. I didn't expect anything from you in the first place. .png) Y-Yeah! If we strike them with some sneak attacks, we might have a chance at winning!.png) What kind of Aikido moves even involve sneak attacks...?.png) Come, everyone! Gonta use body, keep everyone safe! You're going to go against those machines barehanded? Isn't that too reckless? B-But...we have to do it! If we don't, we'll die!.png) Wait! We still have plenty of time to calculate all possible options— .png) To die fighting... Or die from the time limit..png) Why do both choices involve us dying!?  I'm gonna survive! I'm gonna make it no matter what! N-No matter what...? Wait! You can't do that, though! Even if you make a mistake, you can't— Huh? Will you accept the blame if I die? I have people who'll be sad if I die, y'know. U—Um... Well— ...But I dunno if the same can be said for everyone else..png) Anyway...I'm gonna take off now..png) Take off? Where are you going, Kokichi? Oh, I don't knooow. Maybe I'll go back to my room and just think things over. Alone.  Miu? N-Not that I'd...try to claim that perk for myself... I-I'm way too classy to kill someone! Talkin' to you idiots is exhausting... I'm gonna go to my room and rest! Miu! You better not do anything shady, okay!? .png) If someone is going to kill, they should just go for the robot. That's even worse! But why is that?.png) What?.png) Of course I know it to be against the law. But laws are simply rules people decided upon. This is a space removed from those rules. Therefore, we've no need to follow them. Even if it is to survive...? We are as guinea pigs upon a lab table... We cannot be picky about our means of survival..png) Wh-What? So you've no need to fear me. Kiyo! He's not wrong, though. If we want to stay alive, standing around grumbling's not gonna change anything. .png) Are you guys okay with that? H—Hold on, everyone... We haven't decided on our plan yet... Huh?.png) Your half-assed speeches won't work on us anymore, you know that, right?.png) So just come up with a plan for yourself. Wait... Maki, wait!   .png) It's a shame I won't be able to hide all my "special" art commissions before I die... *sigh* Or that "special" pillowcase I bought... What should I do...? B-But... Wait, you guys... You guys! You can't listen to Monokuma! Tch... Fine then, all of you just do whatever you want..png) This is exactly what Monokuma wants us to do... So what else is part of his plan? Is my memory part of it too? If it is, then... Rantaro...? What's wrong?.png) "What's wrong," he says... ....png) Hey, I have a question. This might sound a little weird, but... Ultimate Hunt? What is that...? I've never heard of it. What about it? Huh?.png) What do you mean, Rantaro? It's nothing, really. I'm just a bit confused is all. .png) Well, in my case, not only am I dealing with that, I also can't remember my talent. So I guess I'm asking you to...bear with me if I say things that don't make sense sometimes. Rantaro?Without looking back, Rantaro just waved his hand and left. In the end, I couldn't stop everyone from leaving the dining hall. Why won't anything go right? I just want to escape with everyone... so why is everything going wrong? I know the answer... It's...Monokuma's fault.  Hey, it's not so bad. Only half of the students have broken away from us. Let's see what the other half has to say.   .png) It seems we still must find a clue before we can begin cooperating with one another... But even if we manage to do that, we are still trapped here. Geez... So all we can do is wait around for the killing game to start? People cannot kill others so easily... Especially when they harbor no malice. Even when one's life is in danger, it is quite difficult to follow through on the act itself. ...  I'll...do something about this. I just dunno what yet... But I'll definitely do something about it!We don't have a plan either... And I wanna trust him, but he doesn't seem too reliable...   How about...we take Monokuma or a Monokub hostage by kidnap...no, bearnapping them!? Kidnapping? Is that something a martial artist should suggest?.png) Although I walk the path of a martial artist, I would do anything to save my fellow females! While there's life, there's hope! But once you're dead, that's it! Master taught me that! And the Monokubs don't seem to have any loyalty to one another... They wouldn't make good hostages either..png) They'd probably just squish both you and the hostage. O-Oh, I see... Then I'll think of another way. Why don't we think of a strategy together? O-Okay... To be honest, I'm not too great at thinking... But I'll twist my brain into knots for your sake!Shocker.   Your last resort? The magic powder... Stop. You shouldn't do that..png) If you put it on sweets, it's really tasty. It's sweet and salty. I know the secret recipe. Oh... Oooh, I see... You meant *that*. If you want some, I suppose I could share it with you.   ...Any theories, Kaede? I don't know... It's the first time I've heard of it....png) It sounds so...violent. It sounds like it involves us somehow... Nobody has any clue what it could mean, so it is illogical to continue thinking about it. Our more pressing concern...is the current predicament we find ourselves in. Yeah, you're right... We have until nighttime, two days from now... What should we do until then?  Exactly! I will harness the power of Neo-Aikido, for the sake of all girls! ...I understand how you feel, but it's no use. There's no way for us to win in a fight. However, is it wise to charge into a battle without a strategy? That's true... I get where Gonta's coming from, but we should calm down and think this through. ...Okay. .png) What...can Gonta do? Anything? Hey, Shuichi... What should we do right now? Huh? Move?Shuichi slowly approached me, as if wary of his surroundings, and said in a hushed voice... MUSIC: Living in a Lazy Parallel World  You mean, in the library?.png) Yes... So when he said we needed to move, he was probably hinting at something... If that's the case, then... Of course, Kaede... But we should go. We shouldn't be talking in the open like this. W-We're not whispering. We're just gonna check on something. And that thing you want to check is a secret? S—Sorry... All I can say is....png) I haven't given up. I'll show you guys that we can escape from this place. You can count on it! Thanks... It's not like me to give up anyway... I've always believed that my wishes can come true if I just work hard enough!    This door was blocked before... When did it become accessible? When we first went outside the school building. It's a shortcut between the outside and the dining hall, but since taking it can mean missing out on dialogue I won't be using it that often. MUSIC: Beautiful Lie   Yes...I'll tell you everything there.  No, not really....png) If you pray, He will come floating down to carry you away in two days time. Yeah, well...I don't plan on dying in two days. I'm going to get everyone out of here. I feel the same way. There might be...something we can do. What?.png) If you pray, Atua will watch over you both while you work hard. Th-That's okay. I don't feel like it at the moment..png) Hmmm, I see.    As Shuichi said that, he moved the bookcase to reveal the hidden door.   The dust is gone! That's right. I checked it right after nighttime started yesterday, and the dust was there. But this morning, it was gone. So that means...someone entered this door during nighttime? That got me thinking. This may sound far-fetched, but...NO MUSIC  How so?MUSIC: Living in a Lazy Parallel World Remember what the Monokubs said? MUSIC: Living in a Lazy Parallel World Just activate that machine, and you can have as many spare Pops as you wa— That would explain why we saw Monokuma alive and well in the morning... At nighttime, someone went through this door and activated the machine. And then there's what Monokuma just told us... then every student  That is what he originally said, presumably because of NIS.  He went out of his way to specify that students "forced to participate" will die. Huh? But why? My deduction is that one of us volunteered to participate and wasn't forced. That would mean that they would avoid execution without breaking any rules. Perhaps that's why Monokuma said it that way. I don't know if Monokuma is *that* strict with rules, but if he is trying to protect someone...NO MUSIC ...that would imply that they're doing more than just cooperating with Monokuma. What? I believe that if one of us can create spare Monokumas...MUSIC: Wonderful Story  So, the person who's responsible for all our suffering...is one of us? Of course, this is just what I've deduced, but it is entirely possible. That's why I didn't want to talk about this in front of everyone... If we told them now, they might all try to find the mastermind, and be led to murder. ... The mastermind... The one controlling Monokuma... I can't believe the person responsible for our suffering could be among us... It's hard to accept, but if it's true...NO MUSIC  MUSIC: Living in a Lazy Parallel World .png) So...what do you plan to do now, Shuichi? We're gonna find this mastermind, right? I'm...thinking of taking the risk, just before time expires. I believe the mastermind will come here just before time is up, and I can expose them. I'm extrapolating from something Monokuma told us earlier...  They would have to get into the hidden room to activate the machine. Of course, none of this is certain. There's a chance the mastermind won't show. Like I said...it's a risk. But I'm willing to take it. It's better than just sitting around, waiting to die. Yeah... Ah, but...Kaede, this is just *my* deduction, it's possible that I'm wrong... Yeah, I know. But I've made up my mind.You told me about this, so that must mean you trust me, right, Shuichi?MUSIC: Beautiful Lie  .png) ... ...I mean, I don't have a good idea of my own so obviously I'll help you with yours. Okay, then! Let's expose the mastermind together, Shuichi!.png) Thank you, Kaede. You...have a way of encouraging me. I can't believe our enemy is within our group, hiding in plain sight. ...Yeah. Now that we know this, I should stop saying everyone needs to work together... And when this is all behind us, we're gonna stay good friends! That's a promise, okay!? ...R-Right.NO MUSIC  ...and returned to my room.  Until then, I guess I'll check on the others. I'm a little worried about them...  It's about time! MUSIC: Becoming Friends  During Free Time, you can spend time with other students to strengthen your bond with them. You can also give them a present to strengthen those bonds further. You can buy presents at the School Store or win them at the MonoMono Machine. If your bond gets strong enough, an intimate event might occur. Nice! But you don't have Free Time forever. Spending time with someone passes...time. You can also end Free Time by going straight to bed. By yourself, that is. I mean, I wouldn't skip it, but if you'd rather be alone, that's cool too... Next time, Kaede spends some time with your favorite student! Solitair fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Aug 7, 2023 |

I like how this game does not gently caress around with revealing the premise here Kokichi is such a little poo poo

Shuichi seems like a pretty cool guy so far. I like his dynamic with Kaede. I don't know why, but this expression is reminding me of Sans.
