Leaving the f*cking suggestion box alone (Drabble/Story Preview?)

I was looking at some of Cracked's older articles, and writer Daniel O'Brien wrote an article talking about how he's spent months drawing cats and putting them in a suggestion box to mess with management and to get his friends to laugh, only to never get any acknowledgment about what happened.

So I was like, "Hey I could do a storty about that, but include other people drawing things that aren't cats.

I'll post more later for this (such as the other things that appear in the box and who is doing the drawings) but like I also somehow made a version involving angst and romance. Wtf.

And so I proudly present: Leave the F*cking Suggestion Box Alone

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

Kaito Momota, otherwise known as Luminary of the Stars, has no idea which deity he has pissed off. It had to be that or Fate was rather bored.

Initially, Kaito had shrugged this issue off, figuring it must have been a fluke. It must have been a mess up.

But now? It was annoying as f*ck.

How did this happen? Kaito asks himself as he stares at the papers in front of him. How in the ever loving f*ck did I wind up looking at these drawings from the f*cking suggestion box?

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

It started six weeks ago.

As the head of Team Danganronpa (often referred as the 15th branch of the Future Foundation), it was Kaito's responsibility to do various tasks for the higher ups. They varied day by day, but one of them was to empty the suggestion box daily and check for suggestions (or to clean it out if people accidentally dropped trash in it). Some days the box had one or two suggestions. Other times it was empty. And some days it was just full of trash.

Kaito walked over to the box and unlocked it, finding some papers inside. He grabbed them and locked the box, heading back to his office to sort them. He sat down at his desk and looked through the papers. There were only three. One paper was suggesting that music should be played while everyone worked, and the second paper was asking if the coffee pot could be replaced, since it was possibly leaking. Kaito noted both suggestions down into his work journal before he moved to the third paper.

The third paper was not a suggestion, however.

Kaito frowned as he looked at the paper. It was a drawing a cat with a monocle.

The hell?

Kaito had to admit that it was an okay drawing (not the best but he's seen worse). But given that it wasn't a suggestion, he didn't know exactly what to do with it. Should he throw it away? Keep it?

As Kaito mulled over it, he was startled out of his thoughts by a knock. Placing the drawing on his desk, he sat up straighter. "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Makoto Naegi, Kaito's superior from the 14th Division. He smiled as he walked in and handed Kaito some files. "These are the new assignments from the higher ups. I need you to look over these before assigning them to your branch."

"You got it," Kaito said as he grabbed the files.

Makoto nods before he eyes the cat picture. "What is that?"

Kaito looks at the drawing. "That? Oh, I found that in the suggestion box. Not entirely sure why it was there."

Makoto picked up the paper and flipped it before placing it back down. "There's no name or signature."

"Pretty sure that it's a prank," Kaito replies. "That or it was meant for the recycling bin."

Makoto seems unconvinced. "If you say so.... Anyway, I would love to stay and chat, but Byakuya wants me at a meeting."

"Good luck with the trust fund kid!" Kaito yells as Makoto leaves. When the door shuts, Kaito gets to work, forgetting about the picture.

And that was his first grave mistake.
