Hope is the new Despair ~ Danganronpa Roleplay

Prologue - The Begining of the end

Sixteen wonderful students have been accepted into the most elite and prestigious school in the country! Hope's Peak Academy. Only people who already attended High School and those with an Ultimate Talent are selected to attend and you are one of them! Isn't that great? On their first day, they eagerly walk into the school and look around. It's... Strangely quiet... And empty. Maybe they got here too early? Or too late? They shook off the feeling of unease before their eyes widen. They felt dizzy and their eyesight became foggy. That's when they passed out, waking up in empty classrooms. Beneath them was a handwritten note, scribbled in crayon.

'Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy! Please make your way to the gym for the Opening Ceremony'

The signature was all messed up and smudged but they shook their heads. After briefly examining their empty classroom and noticing the plated up windows, they decided to make their way to the gym. They took their time but soon arrive at the gym, pushing open the door...

Kirari stepped inside and looked around. She saw about seven people already in the room, probably more. Kirari then noticed a person with blue hair, reading a book. She liked books so she began walking towards them, deciding to take her chances and try to make a new friend. Ash walked inside awkwardly and pushed her pink hair out of her eyes. She noticed a girl with blonde hair walking towards someone else with blue hair so she decided to make them into friends, if she could.

"Hi." She said to them,"I'm Ash."

Kirari turned around, her frizzy hair deciding it was time to shine.

She pushed the frizz away and smiled at Ash,"Nice to meet you! I'm Kirari."

"Nice to meet you, too!" Ash spoke happily.

Her mum had told her what to say when meeting new people but all those lessons came spilling out of her brain as she thought of what to say next.

"What's your favourite colour?" Ash blurted, she lowered her gaze, suddenly embarrassed and thought,"This wasn't how I wanted this to go..."

Kirari paused. This was awkward. She didn't even know her own favourite colour!

"Uh... I don't really know myself but I think it's rose gold." She responded.

"Ooh! Mine is pink, duh!" Ash tried to sound excited even though small talk wasn't her specialty; clamps her hand over her mouth after saying that last part and hangs her head,"Sorry, that was rude."

"It's okay, you didn't say anything rude!" Kirari said with a smile before continuing,"Do you have your ears pierced? Wait, that might sound weird... Sorry if that sounded totally random! I just wanted to know if I could make you some earrings.."

"Yeah, I do actually! Some earrings would be lovely..." Ash smiled back before she paused, thinking and remembering some of her lessons,"Though what can I make for you?"

"Aw, you don't have to make me anything! What kind of earrings would you like?" Kirari replied, touched.

"I don't care what kind of earrings, though as I mentioned before, my favourite colour is pink." Ash responded.

"Hm, what about pink mushrooms?" Kirari suggested,"I know it seems strange, I just like mushrooms, heh."

"I've never had mushroom earrings before. They sound cool!" Ash exclaimed.

Kirari smiled, happy to have a project to work on.

Ash smiled back and spoke politely,"Thank you again for doing this."

Ray had a quick glance around, looking for any threats

"As if I even need schooling. Why the heck am I here?" Ray growled, clearly not in the mood to socialize and walking towards a far corner of the gym, away from the crowd.
