      "Hahahahaha, that was amazing, Himiko!" Kokichi shouted as they arrived at the headquarters. What usually took an hour to get there took about 15 minutes, thanks to the broom ride. 


     "Nyeh...I know," Himiko replied, getting off the broom. Kokichi laughed as he hugged her. Then, they headed up to the front door of the building. "Oh, Kokichi? I meant to ask, what is this place?"


   "Hm? Oh, it's an abandoned insane asylum," Kokichi replied. "It got shut down in the 50's after a patient went totally berserk and started killing the other patients and all the staff workers."


   "Really?!" Himiko's eyes bugged out at him.


   "Just kidding," Kokichi laughed. "That was a lie. It is true that this is an abandoned insane asylum, but I don't know the history behind it. Anyway, let's go ahead inside, shall we?" He opened the front door and stepped inside, allowing Himiko to walk in first. They walked inside and headed towards the large room that Himiko had first seen Kokichi and his cronies in. Once Kokichi entered, the pigtailed clown and the tall girl with short hair wrapped him in his cloak and placed his hat on his head. Kokichi then cleared his throat to get his associates' attention. He then snapped his fingers and the clowns stood side-by-side in a straight line. 


   "Everyone..." he began in a clear and confident voice. "You all remember Himiko, right?"


   "Yes, supreme leader, sir!" the clowns chanted. 


  "Welp, it's time you all got to know her a little better!" Kokichi replied excitedly. He then took Himiko's hand in his. "And of course, Himiko will get to know you guys better, too!" He gestured over to his clowny cohorts. "Himiko, these are the members of my organization, D.I.C.E.! We're a bunch of pranksters who have a grand 'ol time making people laugh, and...may or may not cause mischief form time to time. But, we mean well...in the most twisted way possible. Nee-heehee. Welp, you're here to meet my peeps, so we'd better start in order." Kokichi snapped his fingers again and the clowns rearranged themselves in a different order than before which confused Himiko. 


   "What do you mean, 'start in order?'" Himiko whispered to Kokichi. 


   "Here at headquarters, we call each other by our regular names," Kokichi explained. "But outside, we use our codenames, which are just numbers. We also use our codenames if we're in the presence of a stranger...like when you were brought here. You're not a stranger to me, of course, but my associates don't know who you are, and I don't want to expose their identities to some rando...not that you're a rando, but well, y'know what I mean."


   "Ohh..." Himiko replied, looking over at 10 who waved at her. She waved back at him with a smile. "10 did tell me that. Is that why he's last, because he's...10?"


   "Thaaat's right!" Kokichi replied. "So, now that you know the deal-io, Himiko, I'll introduce you to the members of my organization. Since you promised me to keep my organization a secret, I suppose I can mention their names as well as their codenames." With his hand still holding hers, he walked up to the first person, which was a tubby clown.


  "This is Daisuke Hikosaka," Kokichi explained. "His codename is 2."
