Danganronpa: An Alternate Universe. RR AU.

Chapter 1 - Stories cut short by the thread of Atropos. (CLASS TRIAL)

Once the class descended all the way down to the Trial site. All of them would choose a bench to stand behind. Once everyone was done, Monokuma then started the trial with his usual protocol.

Monokuma: Alrighty! Now that all of you settled down in here...

Monokuma: Now then, let's begin with a simple explanation of the class trial. During the class trial, you will present your arguments for who the killer is, and vote for "whodunnit." If you vote correctly, then only the blackened will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong person...I'll punish everyone *besides* the blackened, and that person will earn the right to graduate and leave!

Monokuma: Additionally, during the discussion or before voting time, all of you have the decision to make whether there are two killers involved or not, though beware that once you decide there are two killers or just one, that decision cannot be undone!

Monokuma finished speaking in his usual laidback and happy-go-lucky way of speaking. Once he was finished, the debate began.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Well, this is it everyone...we don't have any choice. I propose we begin by discussing Hifumi's cause of death since the Monokuma File fails to inform us of that.

Mukuro Ikusaba: Yes, that is right. Let's initiate this discussion.

--NONSTOP DEBATE--

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Alright everyone! Let's hear your thoughts on what you think that killed Hifumi!

Chihiro Fujisaki: Well, it certainly was the hammer or the knife...

Yasuhiro Hagakure: Maybe it was something else entirely! A sword, maybe?

Leon Kuwata: Well, I don't know shit, could hit through all that fat...

Junko Enoshima: Reported and blocked for fatphobia! Besides, it clearly did. Didn't you look at all that blood?

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Speaking ill of the dead is not tolerated! Correct yourself this instant, Leon!

Leon Kuwata: Alright, okay...I'm sorry.

Junko Enoshima: And with that, I'm sure the hammer is the real murder weapon.

Junko Enoshima: Only a man would do murder, girls rule!

Makoto Naegi: No, that's wrong!

----------------------------------------------------------

Junko Enoshima: You wanna say something, Makoto? I eat misogynists for breakfast, just so you know!

Makoto Naegi: O-oh, no...it's nothing like that...but the hammer, at least according to Kyoko wasn't the murder weapon...Hifumi was bludgeoned in the head after he died.

Junko Enoshima: Is that true Miss Detective? Then was it the knife?

Kyoko Kirigiri: Yes, it is as Makoto says, but also, the knife wasn't the murder weapon either, because of one detail...

Makoto Naegi: Huh?

Junko Enoshima: What detail was that, Kyoko? What is it that I missed?!

Kyoko Kirigiri: None of you could have known, but me. Hifumi's stab wound had a triangular shape, this detail changes everything. Because knives don't leave triangular-shaped wounds, it's scissors that do.

Junko Enoshima: S-Scissors...?!

Aoi Asahina: T-then...it only could've been a girl...?

Makoto Naegi: Well...if that's true, then we can narrow down the list of suspects, right Kyoko?
