Chapter 5: Living on Borrowed Time, Part I (Daily Life)

----

I can't really remember what happened immediately afterwards. All I know is that right now, we were all gathered in the mess hall, at breakfast time, discussing what to do next.

Reiji: Listen, we've gotta figure out who, or what, this "Mugen Kojima" is so we can get some answers out of him.

Sasuke: Nuh-uh, not gonna happen. For all we know he's on some bumfuck private island sipping wine like a king while all of you suffer here. And that's that!

Asuka: Do you know anything, Homura?

Sasuke: We can't trust her or any investigation anymore. Why's that? Because then we'll have to consider the possibility that every single piece of evidence is forged!

Reiji: Homura wouldn't do that!

Sasuke: She's the Ultimate Forger - it's best to be on guard.

Ukyo: And you are the Ultimate Kidnapper. Who is to say that you are not responsible for bringing us all here?

Sasuke: Look, fuck you Ukyo.

Kira: Guys, please, stop arguing! We're aren't going to get anywhere with attitudes like that!

Homura: Yes.

Reiji: ...

Ukyo: ...You look like you have a question to ask, Reiji.

Reiji: Yeah.

Ukyo: Tell us, then.

Reiji: Do you feel happy?

Ukyo: ...No, not at all.

Reiji: Well shit.

Chie didn't really care much about what we had to say; truth be told, she seemed more interested in the yogurt she was eating at the moment.

Asuka: Chie? Is everything alright?

Chie: I'm fine, croak.

Asuka: Oh.

And then he and his ugly mug turned up. We were still nowhere near finding out why we ended up his prisoners, and of course he wouldn't tell us. Just remind us of stuff we already knew to the point that I didn't even want to acknowledge it.

Monokuma: Guys, you do know that I opened up the fifth floor of this facility for you all? Alliteration was totally intentional, haha. Just kidding, unless?

Reiji: Yes, we know. We're not goldfish.

Monokuma: I never said you were all goldfish!

Reiji: Look, if you think we have the attention spans of goldfish, you're wrong.

Monokuma: Monokuma is always right! Why? Because Monokuma says so! I'm the teacher, you're the student, end of story! If I hear more backtalk, see me after class.

Reiji: (Sheesh... what a dick.)

Sasuke: 'Right, let's just cut to the chase, we're checking it out. After all, he's already pissed off about the whole Tetsuo brouhaha-

Chie: Wait... Kero-chan, ribbit! We're going on an adventure, croak!

Kira: I heard that you have history with her?

Reiji: Homura?

Kira: Yeah, Homura! Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't stir up trouble.

Reiji: Right.

Homura: Okay, then.

Kira: Asuka? Can you keep tabs on Chie?

Asuka: If... if you s-say so, yeah.
