(Discontinued) Danganronpa Hope Glitch

Ch. 1: The Story Begins To Unravel [6] (Deadly Life)

Author Note:

Alright. Let's see who correctly guessed the victim.

Also, I'm not very good at writing investigations, since I don't have much practice writing them (I would usually skip them in my cringy older Fanganronpas). Plus, I kinda lost my outline for the Chapter 1 murder, so I would trying to recall everything from memory while writing this.

It didn't take that long for everyone to show up in the arcade. Everyone looked around at the each with confused, terrified, annoyed or distrustful looks. It wasn't that hard to figure out who was dead. It was the only person who didn't show up.

"So, um, who died?" Nash questioned, unable to figure who in the group was missing.

"Are you really that dumb?" Leo insulted, not answering his question.

"Well, I kinda forgot what everyone looks like and names are really hard to remember," The rock singer admitted. "Now, can someone please tell me who died?"

"Suki," Hana sniffed, still holding on her stuffed frog. "It's Suki..."

"Suki?" It was obvious that Nash had no idea who Suki was. "Was that the fashion girl?"

"No... Th-that's me, N-Nash," Pix nervously corrected him. "S-Suki is— was the Ultimate, uhh, th-the Ultimate—" The fashion designer seems to have forgotten Suki's talent.

"The Ultimate Sign Language Translator, Pix," The stoner skipper told her, as tears formed in her eyes.

Before anyone else could speak, Chromesuki popped out from behind the counter of the arcade's prize section. We all stepped in to gather her.

"It happened..." The bat was in shock to see a body, or at least part of a body, in the claw machine. "As the r-rules state, once a body is d-discovered by thr-three people who aren't th-the culprit, or m-more than three, a class tr-trial w-will take place shortly after..."

"A class trial?... That phrase keeps popping up, but no one has explained what it means," Leo pointed out to the bat. "Are you just go to leave us in the fucking dark after one of us committed a murder?!!"

"Everything will b-be revealed soon enough," Chromesuki told us. "Also, allow me to start off the investigation."

Chromesuki tapped the glass pane on the claw machine, causing one side of it fell forwards onto the ground, somehow not shattering. She then proceeded to carefully take out all of the stuffed animals that were in the claw machine.

Before the 15 of us was the rest of Suki's body. Armless and cover in dried blood, but still her body. Her other arm was off to the side of her body in the empty claw machine.

"Now, everyone has a cl-clear view of the body, so it's easier to investigate," The half and half colored bat told us. "You aren't r-required to investigate the crime scene, th-though it will help out a lot during the trial of you have evidence to present in order to prove y-your innocence."

To my surprise, no one spoke. Everyone was staring at Suki's now uncovered body.

"Before I leave all of you to investigate, I'll give you a h-helpful Chromesuki File," After she finished her sentence, everyone's ChromePhones beeped in sync. "The Chromesuki File pr-provides some information about the murder."

"What about all the other information about the crime?" Amari questioned, as they were checking this Chromesuki File on their ChromePhone.

"Well, y-you'll find more th-things out the m-more you investigate," The bat nervous explained, pushing the tips of her bat wings together. "I have to leave all of y-you now, and pr-prepare the trials room... Good luck investigating!..."
