*SCHOOL REGULATIONS:*

*#1: Students must coexist within the confinements of this school for the rest of the unforeseeable future.*

*#2: Nighttime is from 10pm to 7am. During this time, the dining hall and gym will be locked, and water will be turned off.*

*#3: Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as 'sleeping in class' and punished accordingly."

*#4: You are free to explore the school at your discretion, with minimal restrictions.*

*#5: Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as well as the destruction of surveillance cameras and other equipment.*

*#6: Once a murder takes place, a class trial will begin shortly after an investigation period. Participation is mandatory for all surviving students.*

*#7: If the blackened is exposed during the class trial, they alone will receive punishment.*

*#8: If the blackened is not exposed, or a conclusion cannot be made, they alone will graduate, and all remaining students will be punished.*

*#9: A body discovery announcement will play when three or more students discover a body.*

*#10: The headmaster may add additional regulations to this list at any time.*

Luigi looked over each rule several times, until they were almost engraved in his mind. After the so-called 'headmaster' had left, he had decided to read the rules - just to have an excuse not to talk to anyone. It seemed that everyone else had the same idea as well, as when he glanced back up, almost everyone was engrossed in their screens too. Would someone really be considering killing someone? It seemed likely - most had no connections with anyone else. But, no one wanted to even ponder on it.

Miku: "U-um, these rules... Are they for real...?"

Sans: "Well, unless someone wants to break 'em to find out..."

2D: "Y-yeah, I'd rather not..."

Dedede: "I don't even get what half of these damn rules mean!"

Peter: "Yeah, what if I get hungry in the middle of the night?"

Teto: "Then you could just live off all that extra fat... You could probably survive more than a couple days, hehe."

Peter: "Hey!"

Ashley: "So then, if a murder doesn't occur, we just live here for the rest of our lives?"

Mr. Krabs: "It seems mighty inconvenient both ways."

Nagito: "To live here for the rest of your days, or to kill someone..."

Mario: "Or to escape."

Luigi: "Huh?"

Mario: "That-a bear said there was an exit, right? Well, all we-a gotta do is find it and break out."

Fluttershy: "B-but, he said it was shut 'real tight'..."

Brian: "So? If we all go at it, then it will open. I don't want to spend a second more here."

The Conductor: "I haven't seen a blooming exit yet..."

Parappa: "But, it's gotta be around here somewhere, right?"

The Conductor: "...I suppose I haven't checked everywhere yet."

Miku: "Same... I didn't think to do so at the time."
