One Last Charade

Chapter 1

Thanks for clicking on this story!

——————————————————————————————————

I opened my eyes to see myself trapped in a mostly dark box.

Looking at the three lines of light, it appears i've woken up in a locker, great, just what I wanted to know!

Okay, no need to panic Kaho, just take inventory of what you have on you currently.

I'm still in my costume, my necklace is under my bandanna, and I can tell my mask and contacts are still on from the stuffiness. I dig around in my numerous (why do I have so many hidden pockets?) pockets for a minute and find the picture big sis gave me. I'm glad that it's the only thing that wasn't taken by whoever kidnapped me.

Wait on second thought, I'd much rather have my phone than this picture but I'll take what I can get.

I think that's all I have, so back to the main problem at hand, my kidnapping and the fact that im currently trapped in what is likely a locker.

Now that I think about it...

Wasn't this how my older siblings said their killing games started.

Oh lord, please don't abandon me like this. 

But, reasonably, I know this was bound to happen. And no amount of praying can save me now, it's up to me to save myself, i'm doomed.

I take a deep breath and put both my hands on the door, lean my weight on it, and as soon as I push the locker creaks.

I brighten at this and put more effort into opening the locker.

It opens and I stumble, luckily I took some lessons on self defense and balance so my face was saved from coming into contact with the floor.

I look around and see my classmate (the Ultimate Robot? I think?) staring back.

I instantly fall back on old habits and adopt the persona that goes with my current look and matches the deal I made with big sis. I blurt out likely one of THE most embarrassing, shameless, not to mention vulgar, and offensive things i've ever said in my life!

"Hey! Your a robot! Riiiight~? See, I've always been curious about one thing! Do robots have dicks?"

I process what said in the awkward silence while STILL smiling. I'm likely tomato red underneath my mask and the robot (K1-B0 I think) looks enraged and offended.

HOW DID I MESS UP THIS BAD?!?

He (I think the robot's a he) proceeded to lecture me about being 'robophobic' and told me he was going to take this to court.

Once again, i'm asking HOW?!? Last time I checked we were in a shaby rundown school building, not a top notch law firm. Also, were there even laws against robot discrimination? The government hasn't released any new laws and there weren't any previous ones protecting robo-rights. He should really protest to the government about this, seems passionate about this, could be the next Martin Luther King Junior.

Before I could open my (big stupid) mouth to inform him of this, the door flew open.

He was still distracted by lecturing me while I wasn't even paying attention to him. I had turned my attention to the newcomers, one girl and one boy (I think). If I remember correctly, she was the Ultimate Pianist, Kaede Akamatsu, and emo boy over there was the Ultimate Detective, Shuichi Saihara.

I can only hope (why does that word seem funny to me?) that he doesn't figure out my act, or at the very least bust it.

Bold Glossary

Kaho - is our mc's first/given name, so their full name is Ouma Kaho (japanese) or Kaho Ouma (english)

'older siblings said their killing games started' - to avoid spoiling too much, let's just say it's some good old fashioned danganronpa world building and LORE

'old habits and adopt the persona that goes with my current look' - lets just say thats where the first inspiration comes into the picture
