Danganronpa - Murderous Generation

Chapter 1 - The price of survival (pt 2)

(Danganronpa - Beautiful dead)

As he entered the dorm area, Junako was greeted to the sight of Tantei and Rõzu over by the large red square that was on the floor, while Jõshõ had left and Tako's dorm door was wide open, everyone else was busy doing their own things, just as he had left them, "hey there, how's it going Junako?" Hoshihiko asked as he approached them, Violet smiled just like normal "oh I'm fine, what about you two? How are you gu- I mean gals, holding up" the pair looked at each other, staring directing into each others eyes and then looked back at Junako, repeating the process a few more times "Violet is as dandy as summer's wind" she looked happily at Junako until she realised what she had said, looking down at the ground as she spoke "summer wind's . . . summer bins? . . . . warmer winds? . . . . windmill? Oh something along those lines" Violet shrugged and leaned back on the bench, Hoshihiko was giggling until it was her turn to speak "well, I'm doing just fine. Everything's going great, great talks . . . great view . . ." Hoshihiko looked past Junako, behind him was Akemi and Hajiga, the pair were discussing how to be more gentlemanly "now Hajiga, it takes more than a compliment to . . . woo a woman. Instead you should . ." the pair's conversation came and went as they walked into the school ". . . yeah, great views all around . ." Hoshihiko muttered, a smirk across her face, she was practically eyeing up everyone in the room, except for Junako "um . . . Hoshihiko . . . are you . . ." "it's an all you can eat buffet here. I've just gotta take a pick at what looks good . ." Hoshihiko muttered to Junako and Violet, her gaze drifting around the room (okay . . . so she's bowling for both teams . . . well that's fair enough, who am I to judge someone's life choices) Junako bid the pair farewell and then proceeded to walk towards the red square that sat in the centre of the area. Rõzu was standing on it and looking over it while Tantei was kneeling beside the square and looking over it, his hand gliding across a small gap between the square and the rest of the floor ". . . Rõzu, maybe try stomping on it?" Tantei said, the ballet dancer turned around and had a mix of surprise and shock on her face "Quoi?! Es-tu stupide! Je pourrais mourrir! ((What!? Are you stupid, I might die!))" she exclaimed, Tantei looked over at her and had realised what he had asked her to do "oh, well I mean . . . uhh . . get off of it and stomp your foot down on it, I'll do the same from my side" Tantei suggested, with Rõzu agreeing to that "um, hey. What are you two doing?" Junako asked as he came to Tantei's side "oh hey, I'm trying to figure out what this is, and I've enlisted Rõzu to give me a hand. Do you want to help? Because if you do, you should go stand on that side of the square and do what we're doing" "sure, I'll give you guys - I mean, guy and girl, a hand." Junako moved to one of the empty sides, once he was in position Tantei counted down from three, and one the third count all three of them brought their foot crashing down on the square. A loud metallic thud filled the room, catching the attention of everyone in the area: Violet, Hoshihiko, Ataeru, and Riku came running over, whilst Tako came rushing out of her dorm room "Ugh! Who the fuck is making that racket! Do you know how annoying it is to work while someone's makin' a buncha noise!? Pretty fuckin' annoying!" Tako yelled as she ran over, unlike her however the others showed concern and asked what had happened "well, you see we we're just . . . doing this" Tantei recreated the motion of stomping his foot down on the square as he explained further his goal "well, I thought it might of been some sort of hatch or secret room . . ." "but who would put a secret room in plain sight" Riku pushed her glasses up from off her nose as she walked forward to inspect the area, she moved all around it, kneeling next to it, standing on top of it, jumping on it, much to the concern of everyone else "ah yes . . . it is indeed covering something, I believe, due to it stability and the hollow sound that is produced, that I have can safely say that th-" "hurry it up titless!" Tako yelled, interrupting the analyst's analysis "it's an elevator . . . satisfied?" Riku looked over with an unimpressed look on her face, Tako looked proud of herself as she place her hands on her hips "There see, I just saved us a hella lotta time. Thank me later" while Tako was left to do her own thing, everyone else moved onto, what Riku had believed to be, an elevator, and started to move onto the square, now that they knew it was somewhat stable. "I wonder what's underneath here" Hoshihiko spoke as she knelt down and looked over the floor, knocking on it with her fist "perhaps it will take us up, up and away" Violet giggled happily, throwing her arms out into the air above her and mimicking the act of flying "or maybe it will go down" Ataeru said, while he stood on it, unsure of what to do. Riku was busy looking over the surroundings more, now feeling across the gap between the two flooring's, her hand stopped on a tile facing towards the dorms, and she pulled on it, it took a few minuets before she stopped and turned around "would someone please give me a hand, I want to examine something" Junako answered her call, approaching her and listening to her request "lift up the tile? Do you think it will work?" Riku nodded and gabbed onto the tile again, Junako followed and after a few seconds the tile did exactly as she had predicted. The tile itself was some sort of hatch, hiding a red box with a handle on top. Junako quickly called everyone in the area over, as Riku inspected the box, she tried to lift the box out of the hole "it's light enough for me to lift, then it might not be any-" she stopped once she noticed the box was actually a control panel, on the side was several buttons "hmm . . . perhaps we should put it ba-" "boop" Hoshihiko cut off Riku as she rushed in and smacked one of the buttons, everyone froze, the next few moments went by in a flash. (Danganronpa V3 - Nightmear in a locker) First, a set of side railings very quickly rose from the gaps between the square and the floor, rising to about Junako's head, then in the four corners poles with red emergency lights began to shine, the light inside spinning around at an increasing pace "w-what the hell!? What did you do!" Tako yelled at Hoshihiko, who was looking around and regretting her decision, but before she could apologies or even say anything the floor underneath them began moving downwards at a rapid pace, a tense feeling gripped everyone and panic began to fill the lungs of those who spiralled downwards on the red square, to where? They did not know, everyone could stand perfectly fine, but the sudden shock of almost falling had caused some of them to go weak in the knees, Junako was holding onto the side railings while they descended and he looked around him as the group fell in style, all around them was empty blackness, save for a few pipes that fell into view sometimes, it was just concrete painted black that gave the illusion of a large area, proximity tricks, you see.
