Danganronpa Roleplay (w/ Notebook and tea)

Chapter 5: Voyage Without Passion or Purpose

Next morning soon come for the students as they all were gathered at the Dining Hall, except for two specific students. "Nyeh... where is Milina and Kokichi...?" Himiko questioned as she looked around the dining hall to confirm she wasn't wrong. "This morning I did saw her, but she went somewhere instead..." Tsumugi commented, remembering where the brunette has gone to. "Oh! I remember! She went upstairs! Well... I'm not sure why..." The cosplayer trailed off again, looking elsewhere. "Probably somewhere to cry... since you know... yesterday..." Himiko shrugged, rubbing her ears. "You guys haven't eat yet...?" Speak of the devil, the familiar brunette showed up, gazing at everyone. "Also... how do you feel, Kaito? Better?" Milina tried to advert the topic to her, looking at the astronaut instead.

"Of course I'm fine! I'm the luminary of the stars after all! I may not have been feeling great yesterday, but after a good night's sleep I'm all better." Kaito brushed off her concern, pressing his fists together. Back to his normal self. " But... there's no way you'd get better so quickly after coughing up that much blood-" Himiko pointed at him but was cut off. "I told you, didn't I? I just coughed too much and cut my throat a little, that all." "Are you sure you're not pushing yourself too hard? Or suffer from a chronic illness-" Kiibo started to question, not understanding the boys reaction towards the illness. "Don't be stupid! If I had a chronic illness, I would stand a chance in astronaut training! Seriously, you guys are worrying too much. Just cuz you all love me and can't help yours-" "Of course we'd be worried." Maki said curtly were seemed to get him to stop trying to dismiss all their concerns. "My bad... But I'm serious. You don't need to worry about me anymore. I shoulda told you guys I wasn't feeling well. I made you guys for nothing." He looked to the side, earning a glare from Maki. "O-Okay... don't glare at me like that. If I do start to feel bad again, I'll have you guys help me, okay? Now that that's outta the way, let's eat! Yeah, c'mon guys! Let's all eat!" He remained cheerful, walking off to get some breakfast.

"Now we've got another reason why we need to get out of here..." Tsumugi said, holding her arm. "And on top of that, we need to do it fast." Maki commented. "Escaping is all well and good... but what *does* the outside world look like?" Himiko asked, putting her finger on her chin. "We still don't know what the secret of the outside world is either..." "Gonta didn't want to tell us what it was because it'd give us so much despair that we'd want to die..." Tsumugi concluded, looking to the ground. "I-If that's true, then what could possibly be happening outside of this academy?" The magician asked again as everyone shrugged. And right then, Kaito came back, and bring back food for everyone. "We can't figure that out just thinking about it. So there's no point wasting our brainpower." Kaito said, placing the food on the table. "I doubt it'd be true... either way..." Milina said, looking to the ground. "A-Anyway, that's when we get to the outside world... We'd find some clues... eventually..."

"As a detective, what are your thoughts on this Shuichi?" Kiibo asked, looking to the detective who had remained mostly silent throughout the morning. "I-I've considered a few theories, but I can't say for sure." Shuichi said quietly, putting his finger on his chin. "I'm glad we're talking about how to escape, but... where'd *he* go?" Kaito brought up, scratching the back of his head." Kokichi..." It was quiet as soon as the name was mentioned, they had been ignoring he existed for the morning. "I... haven't seen him. Even if I did, I'd be the one running away..." Tsumugi explained, looking to her feet. Kiibo and Himiko said much to the same effects as the cosplayer. "I mean... he's most certainly not normal... We can't just let... that person be. No, not just a little...because he...." The cosplayer paused, gathering her bearings. "He enjoys seeing us suffer. He face shows that he has fun when he suffer." "If we weren't in this killing game, I would've assassinated him already. Ironic... the rules of this game actually make it harder to kill." Maki shook her head, talking about murder so casually. "I don't think we should jump to those conclusions just yet. Violence doesn't seem to end us anywhere good..." Milina trailed, looking uncertain.
