Danganronpa: Poisoned Hope (Fanganronpa)

Chapter 2 - A Curtain Call For A Killer Performance - Motive

After I finished thinking about what the bear had in store for us, I quickly got dressed and rushed to the gym in case monokuma got mad at my tardiness. Who knows what he would do if I was late?

By the time I got to the gym, everyone else had already arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late!" I exclaimed as I ran towards everyone.

"Geez, finally. Now we can see what this dumb teddy bear wants, " Reina replied in her usual annoyed tone, checking her nails.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not a teddy bear! Do I have to drill the into ya brains?" We heard monokumas voice yell.

"Just keep telling yourself that, " Gin quietly muttered.

As he did when we first met him, Monokuma popped out of the podium that stood in the middle of the stage, flapping his arms and then landing with a small thud.

"And Monokuma appears!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever! Can we hurry up here? I'm starving!" Arashi complained.

"Yes, if we do not hurry the food will get cold..." Explained Toshiro with a sigh.

"Crap, we can't let that happen! Speed it up bear!" Arashi demanded.

"Im not a bear- The next person who calls me a bear with regret it!"

We all stared at the bear in silence.

" It's hard to take you seriously when you look like a stuffed toy. Are you trying to be intimidating?" Ryuto said. I have to admit that what he was saying was true; Monokuma literally looked like just a stuffed toy. However, after seeing what he did to Okashi during his execution, he was actually a bear capable of causing despair.

"Watch your mouth! At least I don't spend every day cooped up in a dark room staring at a computer screen. What a loser!" Monokuma laughed.

"Hey, at least I know it's true, and you don't see me complaining, " Ryuto smirked.

"Can we just please begin talking about what you brought us here for?" Hinami said, changing the subject.

"Oh yeah! Oops, I forgot about that! Anyway, it's motive time!" He cheered.

"Motive...?" I said.

"Yup! Since you guys took soo long to kill someone last time, I'd thought I'd speed it up a bit and give you some motivation to get that bloodlust kicking in!"

"So your basically giving us something to make the killing game to faster, " Kei stated.

"Wow, for someone with no memories, you catch on quick!" Monokuma teased as Kei just rolled his eyes. "So! It's time for the dramatic reveal; What's the motive! Let's spin the wheel to find out!" For a few seconds, he was silent, before sulking. "Oh wait, I forgot again. There is no wheel...But there are these handy dandy Kumapads!"

Suddenly, Monokuma drew out 14 different ipads that looked familiar to our E-Handbooks. He then threw them on the floor.

"Make sure to pick up the one with your name on it! We wouldn't want a mix up like that one time!"

By instinct, we each went to find the Kumapad with our name on it. After a bit of searching, I found one that lit up, showing my name.

"Has everyone got theirs? Perfect! Now I can explain. These Kumapads will show you our new motive: What's your deepest desire? You can either watch your motive later, right now or never at all. Your choice, but you might be missing out!"

"As if we are actually going to watch these! Who do you think we are?" Tampa declared.

"You might not want to, but other people might. Someone's going to get curious at some point, " replied Kei.
