Chapter 7

i am somewhat alive today. i think. maybe

"You guys will NEVER believe who I just got off the phone with!"

It was an early Thursday morning when Tsumugi rushed down the stairs into the kitchen, shouting her news while just barely sliding into the island counter.

"Team Danganronpa called me an hour ago. They want us to do some promotion videos for them since we're one of the most popular casts! Isn't that great?" The cosplayer was ecstatic about the news, but didn't realize that only the early-risers of the group were up, and that was only a couple people in total.

Another thing was that the whole Danganronpa situation caused a lot of trauma that some still weren't as comfortable speaking about or getting involved in. Thankfully, Korekiyo was quick to point that out for her.

"Sorry Tsumugi. I know how excited you were for it, but I don't think a lot of us would be too thrilled to participate." Maki explained.

The blue-haired girl looked saddened, but quickly shrugged it off with an, "It's fine, I should've known better." Then poured herself some cereal with the milk first.

<i feel like smoog would only commit such a crime if she was in a bad mood.>

{panta boi} IM ABOUT TO KILL A BITCH

'cult leader' has left the chat

{avocado} TARGET ACQUIRED

<keebs, kokichi, and rantaro were gonna have an ice cream party for breakfast but then angie ate it all >:(>

War cries and screeching could be heard at nine in the morning all throughout the house. "ANGIE WAS TOLD TO EAT IT ALL BY ATUA!" the short girl didn't have her usual ponytails, but instead her white hair was flowing behind her as she ran away from Kokichi.

"SHUT UP AND GET ME MORE ICE CREAM! YOU'RE SO MEAN ANGIE!" Shuichi sighed at the chaos, then went to eat and check his instagram feed of emo aesthetics.

Once the chaos subsided and everyone was done eating, Tsumugi shared her news from earlier in the day with everyone else. "I was on the phone with Team Danganronpa earlier this morning," this earned lots of grumbles from her peers. "They wanted us to do promotion videos for the games, since we were voted as the favorite cast of the year."

"What kind of promotion videos?" Kaede asked. Being the more polite of the housemates, she didn't want to say anything that would hurt Tsumugi's feelings or put her hard work to waste. Besides, it wasn't like they were being asked to participate in another killing game, right?

Tsumugi lit up a bit. "Nothing bad, if that's what you're thinking. They want us to sing and dance and such. I thought it might be a fun activity for us, since we haven't left the house ever since the..." she paused trying to search for a sensitive way to word this, especially for the more traumatized ones."...grocery store incident.

"If you don't wanna participate it's fine. I'll just call them back and cancel." Some of the group looked more relieved if anything else, but some were excited.

"That sounds amazing Tsumugi! When do we start?"
"This is perfect! I'm not only the Luminary of the Stars, I'm also an excellent dancer!"
"Keep telling yourself that, space idiot."
"Hey! You can't do any better."
"Your dancing makes me believe otherwise. Even Kokichi could dance better than you.
"Makiroll..."
"This sounds like fun."

Tsumugi smiled. They were much more accepting to the idea than she had expected. Accepting, as in they weren't completely furious with her.

"Great! It's okay if you don't want to go, but we're supposed to be at the studio by tomorrow evening, 7pm to... be exact..." Tsumugi stopped after she realized it. The studio was across the world in California! "We need to go now if we're gonna make it. I can book a hotel.. last minute? It'll have to do. The closest one is in San Diego... but that's so expensive!"

"Slow down Tsumugi." Rantaro put his hand on her shoulder that seemed to almost be vibrating from her frantic rambles. "The studio is in America? That's at least a 13 hour plane trip."

"I know, which means we need to hurry!" The others got the hint and started to pack, while Rantaro and Kiyo tried calming her down. What could go wrong? It's just a plane trip with 16 passengers...

(writing this about 3? 4 years later? hi everyone who stumbled upon this either through search or my other work. i did say i was discontinuing this, and despite my goal to rewrite all of this mess i unfortunately wrote, this will not be included. i feel like this chapter was mostly done, or at least done enough to be published? so im sharing it instead of overhauling it. i wont delete whatever this is, since it's a mark of my progress as a writer that i want to keep to show myself where ive come from. if you actually liked this thing once upon a time, to each their own. this is well and truly abandoned. thank you all for your support!)
