"So we'll have dinner at 6 pm until then, have lunch and investigate this place! Oh, and remember about going to Monokuma at 10. I'll remind you all on the chat then." Clara left us to go do our own things. I left the kitchen and looked around. I'll head outside. I went to the doors, opened them and walked around.
"How did I not notice this?" A convenience shop was opposite the dorms! The Monomart... Okay. I walked in. A generic shop, with aisles of biscuits, sweets and other things. I looked around the shop.
"KYAAAAAAAH!" That was Hailey's voice! I ran to the next aisle, where she stood, pointing at some packet of meat. "There's no vegetarian meat!" Talk about first world problems... I showed her where it was and left (after grabbing a chocolate bar).
"What are you doing?" Before me, Kashikoi, with a (not really) threatening look. To be fair, she was trying. It was kinda cute. She looked soooooo cute when angry.
"Bellatrix-san? Were you trying to steal that chocolate bar?"
I looked around. "No one was at the till."
"Nyeh!? No one at the till?" She ran in to confirm this. "Nani!?" She ran back. "You're right!" She proceeded to get a bag of sweets. She ran off, into the school, waving the bag around.
"Orokana-chan!"
...
Why do I bother to argue with them?
I finally left, went back to the dorms and layed down. For some reason, I had an idea...
Monopad Chatrooms
Bellatrix Jones has added Roxy Smith to the chat.
Bellatrix: Hey.
Roxy: sup?
Bellatrix: Have you seen the Monomart yet?
Roxy: Monomart? What's that
Bellatrix: The Monomart is kinda like a convenience store, located opposite the dorms.
Roxy: Ok I'll see it soon
Bellatrix: Well... I did see some water balloons and pies...
Roxy: gtg
Bellatrix: Wow... See ya.
Bellatrix: Roxy?
I heard her running down the hall. Guess she got the idea. I checked the time. 9:38 am. I still have 22 minutes to do something before I need to be at the gym for Monokuma's announcement. What to do, what to do...
I decided to look around the school. I got to a set of blue doors and opened them. It was like a DIY store. Tall, long shelves with random junk everywhere. I looked up and down the aisles. Seance equipment, repair stuff, sports equipment and other nonsense. And in one of the aisles...
"Tiddles! Put that down!"
"Nuh-uh! You can't make me! You're not my mum!"
"I'm you're cousin, that's good enough here!"
Tiddles was up on a high shelf with rolls of duct tape..? Clara was trying to get up to her, failing.
"Uh... What's going on?" I felt like I walked into the dumbest conversation ever.
"Tiddles won't get down."
"I won't get down!? Why would I want to get down? I have duct tape! What more could I want?"
Clara gave her a look of "You're screwed now". She pulled out a bag of cat treats. Tiddles' eyes lit up.
"TREEEEEEEEAAAAAAATS!" She jumped off the shelf and into Clara's hands. Tiddles ate some treats and looked pretty happy when she left.
And after that... The time is... 9:55!?
Clara grabbed her Monopad and typed something quickly.
Monopad Chatrooms
Clara: Everyone, make your way to the gym, Monokuma.will.give his announcement soon.
Orokana: I'm already there.
Flame: Heading there now.
Harry: eh...
Roxy: See y'all there!
She put her tablet away and ran off. I followed her. We ran to the gym and saw everyone there.
"So, where's Sensei Monokuma?" May-lin pointed out.
"No idea." James walked in, looking average (as usual).
"I got better things to do." Tiddles tried to get a piece of duct tape off of her paw.
"Puhuhuhuhuhu!" Monokuma's voice echoed around the wall, the mood suddenly changing. He ran onto the stage and panted.
"Hey..." He stopped panting and looked at all of us. "Okay... Your announcement is 2 things!" He pointed to behind the curtain. "Introducing, your other teacher..."
"Moneko!"
A Monokuma-like creature came up onto the stage. It was smaller than its bear counterpart, wore a pair of ribbons on her cat ears and a friendship bracelet. It looked a bit different from Monokuma as its black side was pink.
"Ugh... My darling sister Monomi had to go do something for a while, so I'm looking after my niece for now. Please be nice, she's only little."
We all looked at her. She looked at us.
"Hello! I'm Moneko! Can we all be friends?"
"Uh.."
"Possibly."
"Of course, Moneko-chan!"
"Don't encourage her..."
"Eh."
"Welp."
"And the second thing..." Monokuma pulled a box out of thin air, filled with VHS tapes, each with someone's name on. "THE MOTIVE!" He threw the box up and the tapes dropped out. We all scavenged for our tapes. I found mine quite quickly (not to brag).
"Go to the computer lab and find out who's got the better will to escape! Puhuhu..."
He left, Moneko running behind him. "Bye-bye!"
