Danganronpa V3: Despair's Last Legs

Chapter 1: The Party of Hope, and the Hangover of Despair, Day 1

Kaede let out a long sigh as she rose from her slumber, she looked around her room and confirmed that what happened yesterday was, in fact not just a bad dream born from staying up too late practising for a concert.

DING DONG BING BONG

The Warriors of Hope appeared on the monitor in her room, sitting together on a couch.

"Hey, you bastards! It's 8 AM now! Get up and go get breakfast or our Exisals will rip you to shreds!" Masaru yelled.

"There's no actual rule against not eating, but did you know that not eating for weeks on end has many weight loss benefits?" Kotoko turned her head.

Masaru pouted. "No fair, you're not meant to tell them when I'm being blatantly wrong,"

"We literally are," Nagisa deadpanned. "Please ignore most of what Masaru says, everyone,"

"Hey-"

"Have a good day everyone!" Monaca smiled into the camera, a complete lack of light in her soulless, green eyes.

"Uh, yeah right!" Masaru gave a thumbs up. "Get killing soon!"

The monitor shut off.

Kaede looked both frustrated and confused at the Teacher's antics... any further thoughts were interrupted by her stomach grumbling. She decided to head down to the Dining Hall.

Kaede didn't encounter anyone her way there, as it turns out literally everyone had the same idea to head to the Dining Hall at the same time.

Most of the people were calmly eating, some were doing other things though: Angie was praying, Tenko was fawning over Himiko's existence, Kokichi was talking to (bullying) Keebo in a corner. Everyone seemed to have something to do!

"Kaede, you're finally here!" Kaito smiled widely as the Pianist looked around.

Kaede chuckled. "Well, I kinda have to eat, y'know?"

"I know that, but that means that everyone's in the Dining Hall now,"

"Ah, yeah," Shuichi spoke up as he walked next to Kaede. "I uh... only just noticed that,"

"Only now?" Kokichi turned his head curiously. "For the Ultimate Detective you sure aren't very observant,"

"A-Ah, sorry..."

"Kokichi!" Kaede scolded. "Shuichi you don't need to apologise,"

Kirumi sighed. "Please behave yourself, Oma,"

"Ooooooo, you're calling me by my last name! That means you hate me!" Kokichi suddenly began to violently cry. "WAHHHHHHHHHHH, KIRUMI HATES ME!"

Everyone ignored the Supreme Leader as he basically instantly stopped crying.

"So, now that everyone's here, I guess we can discuss the events from yesterday," Rantaro said, a calm smile still on his face as he put his hands on the table in front of him.

"Yes, yes!" Angie smiled widely. "There's much to discuss!"

"Nyehhhh... talking is a pain..." Himiko complained.

Tenko patted the witch on the shoulders. "Don't worry Himiko, just wh-whisper in my ears and I'll tell them what you wanna say!" She drooled a little, which Himiko noticed and seemed to be just a bit uncomfortable about.

"What's there to talk about? We already know none of us are gonna fall for this Killing Game shit," Kaito said.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure..." Kokichi smirked. "I mean, we're all pretty on edge, aren't we?"
