Hope is the new Despair ~ Danganronpa Roleplay

Chapter 21 - Nights alone

Well, night... What night is it? Oh, well. It's another night with less classmates and Monokuma plans his next motive.

The door to Jay's room was locked as they and Guilt were engaged in an ultimate staring contest, glaring at each other. Guilt let out a screech and Jay flinched.

"I hate you." They grumbled, grabbing their sketchbook which they hadn't picked up in a while.

They skimmed to find a clean page and pulled out a pencil as they began sketching something. It seemed their wrist and pencil seemed to work on their own and Jay was just as excited to find out what it was as the reader was. As Jay finished sketching, she saw sketch Terishi staring at them. They sighed and rested their elbows on the table, putting their head on their palms. Guilt landed right in front of the sketchbook and Jay scowled at him. Jay got up and started playing 'Numb little bug', humming as they turned it up just loud enough to be faintly heard outside of the door. A ghostly Ray slowly appeared through the roof.

"Hi, Jay." He gave a cocky grin.

"Fuck you." Jay said, more so like a statement,"What do you want?"

Suddenly self-conscious, Jay closed their sketchbook.

"I have enough between you and the guilt demon, do you have no life? Oh, right, you died. No offense intended.* Jay shook their head.

"Wow, okay. I came from the afterlife to see how you were and give Teri's regards but oh, well." Ray shrugged.

Jay raised their eyebrows and Guilt screeched in the corner, louder than the way-too-loud music,"What're you really here for?"

"Well, first off, I would say I helped you!" Ray stated,"I got rid off that disease."

"Good for you." Jay spoke in a flat tone as they started scribbling on one of the papers that were haphazardly thrown all over the floor, drawing Guilt.

Why? Because they could put it in the shredder later and pretend it was him. Their locket thumped against their chest as they bobbed their head gently.

"Ray, leave them alone." Terishi pointed as she floated in.

"Quick question, who's the demon?" Ray asked.

"Uh... Don't ask." Jay decided not to tell him.

Guilt screeched again, seeming offended. Terishi shrugged, sitting down on the bed. Jay started fiddling with their fingers, extremely uncomfortable. Guilt screeched again, just to be an annoying prick.

"Interesting." Ray nodded.

"So, uh..." Jay looked around awkwardly.

Guilt stared pointedly at Jay, who pretended that they couldn't feel him pretty much staring a hole into their very soul.

"Can we please get rid of the demon? Give them to Monobitch, he'll do the rest." Ray crossed his arms.

"I am fairly certain that the guilt demon is like you, a spectral being." Jay sighed.

As if to prove Jay's theory, Guilt seemed to fall as if on a fault elevator, his talons now literally inside the desk as he continued staring at Jay.

"Hey, Teri. I think you have a competitor for Jay's love." Ray chuckled.

"Well, they lose. I win." Terishi crossed her arms.

Jay snorted and gave a tiny smile but Guilt screeched, making them flinch again.

"Would you stop that?* Jay flipped him off.

"I'm leaving, you can thank your demon hubby. Later idiots." Ray saluted, wandering off.
