Danganronpa: Digital Daze

Chapter 17: Hallows Eve

"Wake up, everyone! It's 7am, and Nighttime is now over! Time to enjoy another fun-filled day at The Ultimate Talent Enhancement Center!"

Monorakun's announcement woke me up. An alert went off on my E-Handbook. The new rule 未来 mentioned, no doubt. I turned on my E-Handbook, and sure enough, I was right.

"Rule 9: Tampering with your E-Handbook is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, trying to destroy, deface, vandalize, or hack into your E-Handbook."

There was a button underneath it. "I Agree". Having no other choices, I tapped the button, and the message disappeared.

Next, I got up, got dressed, and sleepily headed towards my closet, which...

Was locked? I tried to open my closet again, but...no. It was definitely locked.

Confused, I looked at my dorm room door, and noticed something hanging there. It appeared to be a costume of some sort.

There was a pair of blue overalls hanging from a hook on the door, with a red, white, and blue plaid shirt underneath it. It had a black bow tie and a white collar going all the way around. There was also a blue and white sailor's hat hanging with the clothing. On the floor, there was a pair of black shoes, with red and white socks folded on top of them.

As I looked over the outfit, I realized what I was looking at, and I was angry.

This...was a Raggedy Andy costume. Made after Raggedy Ann became popular, this was the boy version of that doll.

My E-Handbook went off, with an announcement from Monorakun. "Reminder: You cannot leave your dorms unless you are wearing your costumes!"

Begrudgingly, I put on the Raggedy Andy costume, and upon putting my hand on the doorknob, I heard a "Click!" from within the door. I opened the door afterwards and headed towards the Dining Hall.

As it turned out, I was one of the last people to arrive, and just like me, not everyone was happy with their costumes. Leon was dressed in a baseball uniform, complete with a baseball bat, grumbling to himself about how his costume was super-lame.

Kaede had on black sunglasses, a midnight blue rhinestone jacket under a sky blue collared shirt, matching midnight blue pants, and chunky heels that had a midnight blue base, with sky blue highlights and heel. She wasn't necessarily upset, just...confused, muttering about Elton John.

Makoto was dressed in...well, his usual outfit, except there was a large, fake blood spot on the back of his head, with blood trailing down his hoodie. He had fake blood coming out of his nose and the corners of his mouth, too. One of his pant legs appeared to have something inside of it, giving him the typical zombie lurch-walking you'd see in movies.

Next to him was Mukuro, who was sporting black combat boots, black pants that seemed baggy at the knees, and a black tank top. There was an ammo belt going diagonally across her chest, and she wore a long red bandana around her head. When she turned around, I saw some sort of two-handed gun strapped to her back, but I doubted it was real. Not sure why; call it intuition.

Angie and Yasuhiro were talking while eating together. Angie had an Afro wig and fake beard, and was wearing a light blue collared shirt and darker blue jeans, with a brown pair of loafers on her feet. She reminded me of that soft-talking painter on PBS, a long time ago, but I didn't recall his name offhand.

As for Yasuhiro, he was wearing a green, red, and gold track jacket over a tie-dye shirt. He had a matching green, red, and gold beanie on his head, as well. His pants were relaxed-fit denim jeans, in a military green color. I got vibes of that one reggae singer who smoked marijuana a lot.
