There should be a way out of here

A/N: Here's a summary so nobody gets confused about why this character is different in a way I can't explain here.

Character - Melody Song

Talent - Ultimate 'Talent User' (Test Subject Hope-053)

Hope it clears some things and gave some hints.

"Okay, so the Road Of Despair is nothing but a trap so that's out of the question...we could try using one of those mechas to blow the dome away but we'll need to find a way to-" I started saying to myself as I crossed off the road of despair on the possible ways to escape until I felt the feeling I was being mentioned by someone...usually it's okay, but I feel like I'll be dragged into something I don't want to be in...! It must be about those menus that I heard Kirumi mumble about before I walked into my research lab...this is bad.

I dashed to my research lab's door and locked it, checked the other ways to get in before blocking those from being used and got back to working on a way out...I may be the Ultimate Talent User, but even I have my limitations. I'd be stuck on which talent to use till I'd lose it as there are a lot of talents that revolve around cooking, making it harder to find the right one to use.

After a couple of minutes of planning, I heard a knock on the door...maybe if I stay silent, she'll leave.

"Ms Song I know you're in there, I checked at your dorm room but you weren't there so could you please come out?" I heard from outside, making my kinder talents fight the talents that didn't want to help, almost making me give in...almost.

"...Sorry Kirumi, I can't help right now, I'm sort of busy planning something important...try talking to Kiyo if it's something about some menus" I responded to the voice as I tried to keep calm...my instincts are a blessing when they help me out of situations and a curse because I have to fight against them at the most important times where I can't follow them.

"How did you know that's what I was going to ask you about?" Kirumi asked me as I continued thinking of a way out.

"I had a feeling someone mentioned me a couple of minutes ago, possibly Kiyo telling you about me and since you're the Ultimate Maid, I knew that you would eventually be trying to avoid people saying 'What this food again' and make up more menus to avoid that response...and since Kiyo was talking about me, I knew it was about something food related...I know you need my help, but what I'm doing right now is more important and could save everyone's lives if planned out perfectly-" I explained till suddenly I sensed a malevolent aura from the other side of my door...why is she reacting like this- ...oh. Okay I should have worded my explanation a little better since some of my Ultimate talents (Ultimate Soldier included surprisingly) are telling me I shouldn't have said that...I shouldn't have said I was doing something more important than what she's doing. She's helping everyone while I'm only thinking of a way out of here for god's sake!

Noting my error, I ran about the lab, hiding everything that's related to what I was planning in a hidden panel I created quickly so the mastermind never finds it and unlocked the door to go outside and face Kirumi...you think I'd let an angry person into my lab and possibly find my plans and start asking questions about them when they calmed down? No. Way.

"I-I changed my mind, I'll help you out with the menus if they're that important for you to plan" I explained as Kirumi calmed down...take the lesser of two evils. Say no and deal with keeping an angry maid out while planning with the little time you have or deal with the problem and start planning when you get back from dealing it.

--timeskip past two hours--

After thinking and talking it through, I used my Ultimate Planner, Chef and Analyst talent combo to plan out menus for a week or two so she won't be needing my help till then...hopefully the week is long.

As I was walking back, I spotted Kiyo siting down in the av room, obviously having a good time watching documentaries about ancient culture...okay I need to prank him for setting Kirumi on me when he could've explained some dishes he's seen and tried for examples. My Prankster side needs justice!

I went and got the materials I needed to prank Kiyo...it involved honey and feathers. I would've gone for tar but there wasn't any so honey was the only, but effective, option. After pranking him, I left Kokichi's scarf on the floor to make him think it was him and walked back to my research lab with a proud smile.

A couple of minutes later, I got back to my research lab and immediately locked the door and brung out my plans again, thinking about a way to escape this place before someone dies here...this whole thing isn't a laughing matter and the sooner I find the way out of here, the sooner I can make sure that 'she' is still in her cage...if she's not then that means 'she' and another enemy of mine are free and are looking for me and my friends for revenge...I don't need to worry about Maya, Edgeworth, Gumshoe and Pearls since they're hiding in one of my safe houses even if they don't know it...

Qrow, Uncle Tai and the others though...no, I can't think of them right now, they'll be fine since Qrow and Uncle Tai can fight back... Plus 'she' would escape faster if I went back to Beacon Town anyway... I can't let them get hurt cause of me.

I kept working on finding ways out of here till the announcement ran to tell everyone to go to their rooms...I think I need to check the road of despair again for some tools or possible information on the mechs...it's a risk but I gotta try something.

I noticed a pattern that the AI's in the bears follow, meaning they won't break it unless something happens that disrupts the pattern entirely. I noticed it on the second day, Monokuma appears then Monokid, Monosuke, Monodam, Monotaro and last Monophane...if I've timed it right, Monodam should be the one on duty to guard the 'exit' at the end of the Road Of Despair so it might be a little easier to convince him than the others to get into the control panel there...better get going before the chance to get out runs out.

I quickly snuck out of my research lab, carefully avoiding the cameras and nanokumas as I worked my way to the Road Of Despair. When I got to the manhole cover, I carefully picked it up and put it aside...I'm lucky to have aura or it'd be a lot harder for me to get in here.

Thinking about that, I jumped in and landed safely in front of the road and started going through it, swiftly dodging the traps while searching about for any tools along the way.

When I got to the end, I saw Monodam in front of the panel, standing silently on guard...from what I gathered, out of all the monokubs, monodam is the one to try and get everyone to get along...I just need to convince him that letting us escape helps us get along quicker and that should work. Hopefully anyway.
