Hope is the new Despair ~ Danganronpa Roleplay

Chapter 6 - Blackened Exposed

Everyone headed to the trial grounds, down the elevator. Everything was... Quiet. Too Quiet. Many were still in shock but the rest were ready to avenge their friend yet... Certain students might have their own way of participating in the trial...

Ray walked into the room, ready to cause chaos and Akira stuck close to him, ready to make this as... Entertaining as possible. Kirari stepped in nervously. The amount of times her mood changed was ridiculous. Kirari then wrung her hands. She agreed with Ray, it was probably Crystal. Kirari began to think of comebacks in case someone accused her. Sancia followed the group, deep in thought. There were still others. She recalled seeing others at the Entrance Ceremony but no one here seemed to have spoken to them very much. Any of them could've been motivated enough to kill. Then again, Crystal did seem to be the most likely suspect.

"Alrighty folks! Welcome to the trial grounds!" Monokuma sat on a throne.

"A throne? Seriously?" Kirari looked around.

"Everyone, stand at your podium!" He pointed,"They all have your name on them!"

Kirari nodding, heading over to the podium that had her name on it, most of the others doing the same.

"Does anyone need a refresher on the rules?" Monokuma asked.

"Yes, I would." Ray nodded.

"Well, you'll all take turns debating on who you think the blackened is." Monokuma told him.

"Ah, okay." Ray shook his head, going to his podium,"Alright, may we get started?"

"Of course!" Monokuma nodded.

"Alright, listen up. We've been going around doing our things but apparently the teddy bear got to someone's head. I think we can all safely assume Crystal did it, end of story." Ray sighed.

"Where's your evidence?" Scott questioned.

"I know that Kirari was with me and is supposedly safe and Akira was roaming the halls on my orders so I know where she was. Sancia doesn't seem like she's reached the point of hitting someone with a hammer and running and Stevie was knocked out, leaving you, Jeff and Crystal. Scott, you wouldn't kill your friend, would you? Jeff, if you wanna save your own skin, you better get an alibi.

"Kirari and Sancia both armed themselves." Jeff pointed.

"Thing is, they both armed themselves with knives, not hammers." Ray explained.

"I'm not the one who nearly stabbed someone." Jeff rolled his eyes.

"It matters not what someone nearly did. This is about what someone actually did!" Ray growled.

"Exactly, now tell us what you were doing." Stevie pointed.

"I was in the library, Scorpius saw me there." Jeff sighed.

"Crys, what's your alibi?" Ray turned to her.

"Like I said before, I was with Scott, Mew and Jeff before leaving and practicing my guitar in my dorm." She stated.

"But nobody knows if after you guys dispersed, you actually went." Ray hissed.

Scott looked between his friends,"You guys are innocent, right?"

"Scott, you don't have an alibi either, do you?" Ray raised a brow,"If that's the case, choose between yourself and your little friends."

"I didn't do it, honest!" Scott quickly shook his head

"So, do you agree Crystal is at fault?" Ray asked.

"No!" Scott yelled,"She couldn't-"

"It's between you and her, Scott~ Pick your fucking poison!" Ray spoke in a sing-song voice.
