Blood Crusted Lavender {Danganronpa OC Fanfic}

Chapter 9 - Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy

The DR characters' heights compared to mine! (171 cm/5'7'') I made some for Blair and Shi-Shu too, which will be in other chapters

Wow, I didn't realize how short/tall some of these characters were until I found this.

Also, I'll be writing in first person from now on, just a heads up.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I mean, I'm very grateful for having the chance to even attempt to go to this school. My family sacrificed so much just for that slim possibility. And it somehow became a reality! I would have traded anything for this outcome. But… having a talking teddy bear as a headmaster was far from what I was expecting.

"What? That teddy bear talks!?" Hifumi yelled in a high pitched voice, looking like he was having a heart attack.

"Calm down! I'm sure there's just a speaker inside." Taka told him. But he didn't look very convinced.

"I told you, I'm not a teddy bear. I'm Monokuma! And I'm your headmaster!"

"Waaaahhh! It moved!" Hifumi stepped back and continued freaking out, putting a hand to his chest.

"Seriously man, calm down! It's prolly just a remote control toy or somethin'." Mondo looked about as convinced of his own words as Taka.

"How dare you compare me to a child's plaything!" Monokuma yelled with more emphasis than what was nessessary. "You've cut me deeper than the Marina trench… My remote control system is so complex even the folks at NASA can't comprehend it."

Everyone continued exchanged weirded out glances and yelling out in confusion like Hifumi.

"Guys, calm down!" I said as something suddenly hit me. "This school's pretty rich, so maybe this robot is supposed to help us with our education somehow?"

Once I said that, everyone seemed to calm down a bit, relieved to have part of an explanation even if they didn't know if it was true.

"What else could he be for? Besides, he's really cute! So much cuter than Daisy!"

"What exactly does that have to do with anything? And who's Daisy?" Sayaka asked.

I never got the chance to reply, since Monokuma spoke first. "Cute? I'm not cute! I'm terrifying!" He flailed his stubby arms around as he said it, which was, frankly, adorable.

"Sure you are!" As I said it, I came up to the bear, to which he tensed up, looking about ready to fight me, as I squished his cheeks.

He was a little caught off guard by the gesture, and flailed his arms and legs, which was precious, to try and get out of my grasp. But I just pulled him into me and hugged him.

"Get off me girl! Or you'll regret it!"

"Oh? What're you gonna do? Kill me with your cuteness? Actually, that might work…"

"Arrrgghhh!" He continued struggling.

"See? You're just a cute little teddy bear! Just because you're made of metal doesn't mean you're any different from-"

My sentence was cut short by a long, blade-like claw that Monokuma had summoned from his stubby arm and was holding to my throat. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the shiny object held so dangerously close to my skin.

"Or… maybe it does…" I slowly set him down with a head pat.

"Now you're getting an idea of who's in charge here! Anyone else want to squish my cheeks?"
