Dangan Ronpa-Notch's Hope

A Motive For Murder

"It is now 7 AM. Let's give it our all for another Fantastic Day!!"

I groaned and rolled over onto my side. "Shut up Herobitch....." I grumbled to myself, smirking and drifting back off to sleep. My pleasant dreams were cut off by a familiar and irritating voice.

"Who's this Herobitch you're talking to, hmmm?"

I shot up in my bed and came nose to nose with Herobrine, a large smirk spread across his face. "WAAAAGH!" I fell off the bed and smashed my face against something hard. Then my room was filled with His annoying laugh.

"Wow! Good Job Triff!" He gasped out in between chuckles. In a fit of rage, I grabbed a pillow and held it above my head. "I wouldn't if I were you." I cocked my head to the side and he laughed again. "Any violence towards me results in immediate and painful punishment. Anything from stabbing me with a sword or slapping me with a fish. Forbidden! Be sure to check your room key for any other rules you missed." He knocked the pillow out of my hand and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Shrugging whatever just happened off, I grabbed my room key and headed out the door.

On the way to the dining hall, I decided to check the other rules that were in place. When I unlocked the device, a little bulleted list popped up. I clicked on the first bullet.

Rule Number One:
You may explore the mansion of your own free will. However, breaking locks or destroying barricades are prohibited and result in punishment.

Rule Number Two:
To escape from this mansion, you must become the blackened and kill a fellow roommate and get away scot free.

Rule Number Three:
Once three or more different roommates find a dead body, a household trial will be held to find the blackened.

Rule Number Four:
If the blackened is revealed, they alone will be punished. If the blackened is not found, everyone besides the blackened will be punished and the blackened is free to graduate.

Rule Number Five:
Any violence towards Herobrine will result in immediate punishment.

Rule Number Six:
The dining hall is off limits from 10 pm to 7 am.

Rule Number Seven:
All sleeping must be done in a bedroom or other designated area. If you are caught sleeping in a restricted area during Nighttime, you will be punished.

Rule Number Eight:
Additional rules can be added later but no initial rules can be removed.

Tips and Advice:
Two announcements are made to alert the beginning and end of Nightime. One at 7 am and one at 10 pm.

Nighttime lasts from 10 pm to 7 am. Water will be cut off during the Nighttime.

Herobrine cannot personally interfere with a housemate unless they have previously broken one of the rules.

The kitchen restocks automatically at midnight.

I read every rule and memorized the important ones. So we can explore freely so long as we don't break open locks or destroy barricades. We can't be in the dining hall after 10. Sleeping must be done in bedrooms and specific areas. And, sadly, all violence towards Herobrine is prohibited. If I wasn't afraid of getting stomped out like a grape, I would probably suggest we gang up on Herobrine. But, in the end, it's better to just wait out this crazy scenario.

I walked through the dining hall door and immediately bumped into someone. Before I could fall and hit the ground, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my body. "Are you okay?" I heard the voice say. I nodded and looked at whoever was holding me. I felt my face heat up when I saw it was Mitch. He wasn't wearing his classic red and black hoodie or his white/beige shirt. Instead, he was wearing a red t-shirt that poorly hid his burly muscles. (Do people still say this? Idk. Mitch has some +3 biceps up in here!) "Triff?"
