Danganronpa: Days Before Despair

Chapter 13~The New Sheet

Super High School Level Impersonation Master Chouko Oyashi's POV

Once I finished my shopping for supplies, I dumped the bag full of materials onto my bed. Time to make Napstasheet the Second. I missed having a ghost buddy hanging in the closet already.

I pulled out a fabric pen and smirked. Drawing the eyes was my favorite part since Nappy is so cute and has the most adorable little eyes you ever did see. 

I began drawing as carefully as I could, though that's still pretty hard. I'm just not all that sensitive, I guess. Regardless of that, I managed to draw the eyes in less than five minutes, which I admit was a new record. I had never been able to draw symmetrical eyes that fast. I guess having done it before really helped my chances of drawing it accurately on the first try.

I pulled a tiny top hat out of the plastic bag next. I looked it over gently. It had a velvety feel, which I always liked. I'm a sucker for soft things, after all. Who doesn't like a good soft object now and then? Maybe somebody with a soul as hard and prickly as Chiyosu or that bratty heir guy, but I don't have that kind of personality. I'm a sweet little child, after all. I'm not mean. 

But before I could get onto the hat, I stood and hung my sheet on its hanger in the closet. Perfect fit. Just like how my original Nappy was. But the past was in the past, so I'll just keep on with my new Nappy who is still alive.

I picked up a few pins (since I know how to use those, unlike the needle and thread I've seen multiple times in Ayameko's drawer in the bathroom) and began to attach the hat onto the sheet's 'head' area. It took about five or so to get it in the right position at an exact 45 degree angle off of Nappy's head, just like how the original was. I should really stop thinking of original Nappy. He's in a better place, meaning somewhere under my bed since I couldn't be bothered to put him anywhere else since I'm a lazy bum.

"Chouko? Why are you staring at a sheet?"

I heard Ayameko enter the room next, so I smiled. "Hey there, Aya," I said. "Do you like Nappy?"

Ayameko blinked. "Nappy?" she echoed. I forgot. I never told her about the sheet that hung in the closet. She just chose to accept it as something that just happened in a school as weird as ours.

"Napstasheet the Second!" I cried, pointing to the new Nappy. "Because the first one got destroyed by the jerky vandal who messed up our room, I decided to make a second closet ghost! Like it?"

"Is there supposed to be a mouth on this thing?" Ayameko asked, tilting her head. I gasped upon realizing my blunder. Oops. I pulled out a pen from my pocket and drew a cute little mouth on Nappy just under his eyes. That was the same expression that Nappy made in all of his sprites in the actual game he was introduced in. That face always warmed my heart almost as much as hot chocolate. Yummy hot drinks...

"Are you okay, Chouko?" Ayameko continued to question. "You're starting to drool, you know."

I gasped and wiped off my mouth. I guess that the thought of having delicious chocolate was starting to pull at my mind... Ah... So delicious...

"Chouko?" Ayameko repeated.

"I'm off to buy some chocolate!" I exclaimed, much to the clear confusion of Ayameko. She blinked as I made a beeline for the door. My thoughts were on one repeating word and one word only:

Chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate-

Super High School Level Judge Ayameko Etsuko's POV

I blinked as Chouko ran from the room. She was an odd character, that was for sure...

I looked at her odd little ghost thing. What was it supposed to be? Sabastian never mentioned any 'adorable closet ghosts' before when we lived back in his kingdom... Was it something unique over here or something like that? I guess so, since that would explain why I've never heard of anything like this up until I met Chouko here.

I turned for the door and walked for it. Maybe Sabastian would have an idea of what Chouko was talking about when she continuously said 'Nappy' into the closet...

Super High School Level Ninja Zuka Fubayashi's POV

I was reading in the corner of the dorm room when I heard the door creak open. I looked up to see Chiyosu entering, slowly shutting the door behind her. I looked up from my book for a second to give her a quick greeting. "Hey," I said simply.

"Did you hear about the two vandalism cases that took place here earlier today?" Chiysou asked me.

I shook my head. "No," I told her before trying to return to reading my book. I still didn't want to talk to her after the detention incident from a few days ago. It bothered me that somebody that traitorous was just sitting there like nothing had happened and that everything was fine. How in the world could she be so easy going about something so serious as ruining the records of innocent people to your own nasty tricks? I would never be able to do that.

Chiyosu walked over to me with an angry sigh. She swiped my book from me. "Listen up," she growled. "We have to go and find out who did it. Chouko, Ayameko, Makao, and Elec didn't deserve to get their rooms trashed by whoever did this."

I sighed. "It isn't my issue to look into this," I muttered, grabbing my book again and continuing to read.

"You might run into a serial killer who needs to learn about justice..." Chiysou smirked.

I sighed again. "Fine. What is it that you want me to do to help you out with this thing?"
