EXITronpa ; Escape, Exit, Elucidate!

[4] Fatal Rest.

It was morning. 

I had no idea what was going to happen today. The motive was hanging over my head and I was feeling shaky from it... I went to stand, going to head for the cafeteria after getting dressed. I noticed people there. Ruby waved happily at me, as I looked over. "Hey! Pencey! Wanna get some snacks?" She got up, going to go and hug me. I made a soft squeak, nodding, and giving a thumbs-up as we began to head there. Things seemed particular about the scene, though. There was... Broken glass near the fridge. I squinted at it but decided to brush it off as nothing as I knew some people here were clumsy. "What do we have?" I asked her, trying to avoid stepping into the glass as she went to look in the cupboards. 

"We have chips, dried ramen, ooh! Cookies!" She exclaimed, grabbing the items she said out of the cupboard as I took out two soda cans for the both of us. "Buncha junk food, huh?" I grinned a little. "Yep! The perfect food for usss!" She smiled, going to open one of the bags of chips and hand me it. "Right, let's go eat at the actual tables." I replied, going to grab the junk food and begin walking back with her to the tables. I noticed a handful of people there, Liy was keeping to herself, tinkering with the computer she had shown me the other day. 8-Ball was reading a book while drinking some coffee while Loser was happily eating a stack of pancakes. Taco wasn't present, which made me quite suspicious of her. I was still really worried about Liy, though...

I decided to not say anything as I went to begin eating the snacks with Ruby, talking about a lot of stuff. We both knew we were trying to avoid even speaking about the game... Neither of us knew. Or even wanted to be here. Everyone here was great and cool and all.. But.. The situation we were all in was a terrible thing. I wished I stayed home. At least my fans were a little tolerable... "So!-" My thought was broken from Ruby speaking up after we ate. Her words were muffled because her mouth was full of food. "What do you thinkk Book and Icy are doing right noww?" She asked. "One, don't talk with your mouth full." I replied. "Two, I think they're just probably thinking about us..." I hesitated. I probably said the wrong thing, myself realizing that once it came out of my mouth. Ruby noticed my hesitation, nodding. She gulped the food in her mouth, nodding. "..Yeah, probably." I looked around, noticing a handful of people missing. 

"Hey wait-"

"Huh?"

"Where even is everyone..? There's like so many people missing." I mumbled. I was getting a little worried... "Dunno! Wanna check out what's going on?" I nodded, before noticing Jr and Taco come in. He didn't say anything, quickly sitting down and looking away from everyone while Taco went to head into the kitchen. I raised an eyebrow at the sight of them, not commenting. Breakfast was nearly over so... I wondered where those other two were. We kept on eating and talking casually before we noticed Gelatin come in. He was still in his sleeping clothes, yawning. "Ahhh... Morning!" He cheerfully said, waving at everyone as he went to sit down. Everyone looked over to him. Breakfast was about over but there was no sign of Balloony...

Wait.

That's really weird. Everyone else but him is here.. I went to go look around. "Hey uh- Have any of you guys seen Balloony? He usually does take breakfast, right?" I spoke up, putting my hand up to hopefully get the attention of the others. 8-Ball looked up from his book, taking a good look around before nodding softly. "Yeah.."  He murmured. Loser smiled. "Maybe he's oversleeping?" 

"Stupid, he wouldn't sleep for that fucking long." Jr snapped back, growling a little as he was leaning back on the chair he was sitting on, his bare arms exposed as he crossed them. I raised an eyebrow, looking over to Ruby as she was still eating the chips. "Mmmmm.. Mmaybe we should go and see if he's in his room?" She asked. Dora nodded. "A-Alright.. I'll go... Anyone else want to come?" She softly asked, rubbing the back of her head as she observed everyone. I got up. "I'll come." Loser put his hand up, as Jr growled and stood up as well. "Hey, maybe we should all fuckin' go. Maybe we might not get brutally murdered or something if we do." He growled, clearly being snappy. I rolled my eyes. "Alright. Fine. Come on everyone." I'm known for being a really good leader back in my school. I was the Captain Cheerleader at one point but I quit so I'd have more time to do my true passion: vlogging.
