#I mean both games have their perks and flaws but I am gonna miss these cute lil battles

[marathedemonoverlord]

So I decided to go back to OG Obey Me and playing their little dance battle and I was either hit with a wave of nostalgia or a wave of sadness because maybe it's dumb but I do really like the dance battles and atmosphere of OG Obey Me.

The dance battles are just so cute and distinct and fun. When I play Nightbringer I don't have the same feeling and I can't tell if it's because the OG is so charming or Nightbringer is new or nostalgia clouding my eyes after not doing the dance battles in so long ;w;

I swear OG Obey Me was old but gold heh.

Own it..then Redeem it (2007!Leonardo x reader)

Chapter 2: An Excuse

The annoying alarm goes off at 7 a.m in the morning. You open your eyes and remind yourself that Winters was gonna come by to take you to a cafe for coffee and maybe breakfast. You get out of the bed quickly, feeling like you might doze off into more sleep, then you’ll be late. You put on some music to bring up the energy. You get your clothes and get into the bathroom for a hot shower to also wake you up. You honestly wish that you could make coffee for yourself, but that’s gonna have to wait.

Once you're done getting dressed, you start doing your hair and applying light makeup. Then you hear your phone ring from the bedroom. Thinking that it’s Winters, you get out of the bathroom quick and grab your phone from your night stand. Your phone showed that it was April that was calling. You sighed in relief, because you thought Winters was waiting for you outside your door. The man was pretty much unpredictable when it came to you.

You brought your phone to the bathroom and put it on speaker while you're getting ready.

“Morning April, let me guess, Casey still woke up late?” You greet playfully while finishing your hair and double checking each side in the mirror to make sure it's good.

“At this point it’s predictable of him, morning (Y/n). I just wanted to call to check up on you, and heard that you're having a little date this morning.” April said a little excitedly in the end.

“I knew Raph was gonna crack at some point.” You rolled your eyes playfully.

“He actually told me to check up on you because last night, but hearing the background music means that you're feeling better?” April asked, trying to hide the concerned voice but you could still hear it.

“I’m actually feeling good this morning, you can tell him and everyone else that I’m doing good. I need to build up strength at some point, right?” You couldn’t help but smile at everyone trying to check up on you. You put a lipstick that matches your lip color but a little darker to make your eyes pop out. You looked at yourself in the mirror one more time and grabbed the phone to go to the living room.

“That’s good to hear, I’ll make sure that everyone else knows.” April’s tone was relieved and happy.

“So, any luck finding the ‘fearless leader’?” You turned on the t.v and sat on the couch. You couldn’t help but ask about him. April paused for a second and sighed.

“I did find him, but it seems like he’s not coming back. He disappeared before I could keep persuading him.” April tried to not mention the details of the conversation she had with Leo.

She wanted Leo to tell you exactly what he told her. She couldn’t stress how much she wanted to help you find closure...or maybe at least she felt an ounce of hope of getting the two of you together. The two of you were a perfect symbol of love, all the differences that you two had, and you guys still loved each other despite all the flaws. That actually inspired her to realize that she should accept Casey for his ‘vigilante game’. She just fell in love with him like that in the first place.

“Well that’s Leo for you, he never breaks once he makes up his mind. I just feel bad that he won’t at least visit Splinter and his brothers. I guess he found another señorita that wouldn’t let him leave.” You said a little bitterly at the end.

“(Y/n)...that probably isn’t why-” You interrupted her when the news came up. An oddly familiar news.

“Whoa, wait April, you're probably right. Turn the t.v on and check the news.” You quickly told her.

“What is it? Alright, hold on.” You hear April turning on the t.v and it was in sync with yours.

“We interrupt the Gilmore Girls, for this special news report.” The News Anchor came on. " Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction sight incident, that sounds like something out of science fiction.”

“Is it me or does that sound like Leo somehow changed his mind?” You raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

“That actually does seem like it...” April was a little stunned by the news.

“Splinter must be pissed, his favorite show interrupted by this news. I don’t even wanna know how much in trouble the guys are.” You hissed at their possible punishment from their father.

“Are we even sure that he’s back? I mean, like you said, he can be pretty stubborn.” April sounded unsure.

“I can ask Raph tonight...or maybe you, Casey, and I can go visit the guys tonight to see for ourselves.” You suggested a little hesitantly. You don’t know why you wanted to check that Leo’s back. ‘Come on (Y/n), just focus on Winters.’ You thought and shook your head from any thoughts of Leo.

“I guess we can check later tonight, but are you sure that you're up for it?” April was a little worried. More worried of how you’ll react to his return. Will all your wounds resurface? Or your bubbled up anger at the blue masked turtle. ‘Leo, you have no idea what you're expecting.’  

“I’ll be fine. I promised Mikey that I’ll visit after my shift today, gotta be there for the guy.” You smiled, remembering how much they missed your absence since you were busy.

“That’s some timing huh? Looks like we're gonna see the guys tonight.” April chuckled, knowing Mikey he would give you a surprise visit if you didn’t complete your end of the promise.

You heard a knock on the door and you jumped straight up from the couch.

“Oh uh, April I’m gonna have to hang up, Winters is outside my door.” You start to get a little nervous about this little outing.

“Relax, it’s just a little coffee. Advice: If you feel that you're about to say the wrong thing, just drink the hot coffee and think of something else quickly.” April chuckles and you could even hear her grin through the phone.

“Did you use that advice with Casey?” You playfully roll your eyes.

“Nope, Casey used that advice with me, he was the one that made it up.” April giggles at the memory.

“That’s pretty smart coming from him. Alright, I’ll see you later.” You laugh softly and grab your keys.

“I’ll be expecting you over my place, bye (Y/n).” April smiles.

“Bye April.” You hung up the phone smiling and looked at the door. You haven’t felt this nervous since Leo knocked on your window to escort you to the lair after you finished your homework for high school. You smiled at the memory of your crush for him. No guy at your school gave you the butterflies like he did, no matter how much they tried.

You shake your head and frown at yourself for letting those past memories resurface your head. You walk up to the door while grabbing your purse and open the door. Winters stood there with a kind smile and a nice suit.

“(Y/n), you look radiant this morning, are you ready.” Winter complimented politely with a greeting.

“Morning Winters, you don’t look bad yourself. I’m good to go.” You smiled, closing the door behind you and locked the door with your keys.

“Shall we?” Winters offered his arm to you and you smiled at the gesture.

“Oh, you British are so smooth.” You smiled, grabbing his arm with one hand while putting the keys away in your purse with the other. Winters chuckled at your comment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Leonardo...I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activities. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil, if we continue to fight each other.” Splinter was disappointed with his son's outcomes. How can his son get into trouble so soon? And at the surface no less.

“But Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do something when Raph-” Splinter cuts Leo off while raising his voice.

“There are no excuses when you are the leader, my student.” Splinter told his son.

“He apparently has one for hurting (Y/n).” Raph muttered.

“What did you say?” Leo glared at Raph.

“Ya heard me.” Raph shot back.

“Enough!” Splinter hit the staff on the floor and made them quiet. “You both need to solve your problems as brothers, otherwise you my sons will have unnecessary endless battles.”

Raph was just glaring at the floor while Leo gave a sigh.

“We need to find who’s responsible for this, there ain’t no other solution.” Raph changes the subject.

“Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchmen.” Leo scoffed.

“Night Watcher.” Donnie and Raph corrected him tiredly.

“Yea, whatever.” Leo said, uncaring for the new vigilantes name.

“I’m going out.” Raph excused himself to Splinter and left the room.

Once Raph left, Splinter sighed to himself and looked at his master's picture. All of his son’s are disoriented, he misses how close their sons were. When he sent Leo to Central America to make his leadership stronger, he never imagined that it would affect his relationship with his brother, especially his son’s romantic relationship. Splinter is starting to feel that it’s his fault for this broken road.

“Um, Master Splinter? Can I go so that I can schedule pizza boxes for tonight?” Mikey spoke up from the awkward silence. Splinter's ears perked up and faced his sons.

“What is the special occasion tonight, Michelangelo?” Splinter asked his youngest son with a raised eyebrow.

“Well, (Y/n)’s coming for a visit tonight, and the birthday cake took over the fridge.” Mikey smiled. Leo’s eyes widen a bit and he turns to his brother.

“Wait, (Y/n)’s coming? Does she know I’m here?” Leo asked hesitantly.

“No, but it should be a good surprise...right?” Mikey smiled at first but then looked at Donnie unsure. Donnie sighed quietly.

“How do you even know she’s gonna come by, she’s been busy lately.” Donnie raised an eyebrow.

“Raph told me last night that she promised to come by for a visit. You know she means it when she gives me a promise.” Mikey grins.

“At least her presence will make you stop asking about her.” Donnie points out, making Mikey pout.

“Her presence is probably what we need at the moment, Donatello. I personally would like to know what she has been doing and how she's doing.” Splinter smiles at the mention of you, and looks at the picture with everyone together. You had a special place in everyone's heart. You’re like a daughter to Splinter, all those years ago when you met his sons.

“My sons, you are dismissed, but Leonardo I want you to stay.” Splinter said nodding to Donnie and Mikey. His two son’s left and slid the door to close for privacy.

“Master Splinter, I’m sorry that I failed you and my brothers. I’ll assure you that it won’t happen again.” Leo bowed in respect to his father.

“I know you will my son, but that is not what I wanted to talk about.” Splinter walked around his table and gestured for Leo to stand.

“Then...what is it about?” Leo asked confused, standing up on his feet.

“I know I have told you that your absence brought difficulty towards Raphael, but it has also brought wounds on love.” Splinter pointed at the picture of all of him and his sons together with (Y/n). Splinters eyes and smile was focused on the way Leo and (Y/n) held each other. You had one arm around his son's neck while your other hand was on his chest lovingly, you wore the happiest smile. Leo had his arms around your waist, holding you close to his chest, with the most loving smile.

“You mean (Y/n)...” Leo said sadly, realizing Splinter’s hint.

“Leonardo, is it true that you ended your happiness with the woman you claimed that you would do anything for?” Splinter asked straight to the point.

“Yes master...it was a hard decision to make for her own good.” Leo turned to his father.

“My son, you may be the leader of the team to make decisions for everyone's well being, but your relationship only relied on choices to make each other happy. What was for her own good?” Splinter dug a little deeper.

“While I was the ‘Ghost of the jungle’, I realized that I couldn’t give her everything she deserved. All those people in the village may have been poor, but they all never got to hide in the dark.” Leo looked down and then looked back up at the picture of you. Splinter gave him a moment to continue.

“I tried my best to protect the village from those who wanted to terrorize it. There was a child who was held hostage by those bad guys. They only wanted something valuable in return, so the mother had to give up a priceless necklace for her son’s safety. They stood by their word to release her son, but who's to say that they wouldn’t come back to finish them off. Of course I defeated them and returned the items.”

“You have given the villagers everything. A mother can sleep knowing her son is safe from those bad men. I know they are thankful for your help.” Splinter looked at his son with a raised eyebrow, not clearly understanding the comparison of the situation.

“They can’t exactly thank something they can’t see...I don’t want (Y/n) to give up every opportunity or all the things she worked for just because of me. I can’t give her a child without risking her life. I wouldn’t be a good fit for her as a husband, to not be able to be there for her in the surface daylight when she needs me there for support.” Leo explained sadly with a sigh. Splinter’s expression softened at his son’s confession.

“(Y/n) is one of the strongest and most understanding people we know. Your decision took a lot of strength to fulfill but it also hurt more than it was to benefit. You should tell her your concerns so that she can also make a choice. Unless the wounds you made were intended to make her frown at your name.” Splinter put his hand on Leo’s shoulder.

“Sensei...if I let her choose to love me, then she would lose everything.” Leo looks at his father.

“You should be more worried if she chooses to let you go. It’s not everyday that you meet a woman who would love you for the way you are, inside and out. You, my son, will probably lose the one woman who accepted, not only you, but the consequences that she will meet in the future just for loving you. Leonardo, are you willing to accept that fate?” Splinter faced his eldest son with a serious tone in his voice.

Leo looks at Splinter and opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. He turns back to the picture of you and remembers that day. You both couldn’t help but stay together all day in each other's arms. Not even caring about anything else, just each other. He couldn’t get enough of your eyes, smile, laughter, or the way your nose crinkles when he kisses your nose.

“No...I don’t think I’m willing to accept that fate, father.” Leo stood up straight, finally feeling a little weight off of his shoulders and heart.

“Then you know what you must do, you are dismissed, my son.” Splinter smiles satisfyingly at Leo’s response. Leo bows and retreats from the room. Splinter takes one last look at the picture and smiles to himself. ‘Soon, things will be better than what they once were.’

Leo goes to his room to think about what he should be ready to tell (Y/n). He’s missed a lot since the day he left for his training. Looking at the picture of you and him made him smile. He wants to explain that letter to you, that there were some concerns he had. That he knows that it was a dumb reason, and it doesn’t excuse him from the heartbreak he gave you. He hopes that he can have a second chance.

‘I’m hoping that you didn’t move on yet…’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You laughed at the small child for accidentally spilling juice on Winters’ shoulder from behind. The mother apologized many times and Winters reassured her that it was fine. The mother and her child made their way out of the cafe.

“I’m happy this amuses you Ms. (Y/n).” Winters playfully sarcasms while cleaning his shoulder with a napkin.

“Can you honestly blame me Mr. Winters? This is the first I’ve ever seen you have an accident with your suit.” Your laugh slowly faded into a giggle.

“I honestly thought that I wouldn’t come across this incident, especially not in front of you.” Winter’s crumbles the napkin and puts it aside.

“There’s no need to look all perfect for a girl like me.” You grinned and drank more of your coffee.

“On the contrary my dear, you deserve everything perfect coming your way.” Winters gives you a playful wink.

“How are you British so smooth? It’s like you guys practiced all your lives with these lines.” You laughed softly. Winters chuckled at the way you got a mustache thanks to the coffee.

“Hold still for me.” Winters took another napkin and leaned over the table to hold your chin softly but firmly. You froze on the spot, your eyes questioning for an explanation. He carefully wiped the coffee on your top lip. You can see the focused expression he has, and now that you're looking closely...you have to admit that he looks handsome for a rich guy.

Winters pulled the napkin away and smiled at his work. He looked from where he cleaned to your eyes. Your breathing hitched quietly when he decided to lean closer. His phone suddenly rang making him let go of your chin and lean back to look at his phone. You sighed in relief a little, cause you still weren’t sure if you're ready for that step yet...and you didn’t want to lead him on if you changed your mind.

“I’m sorry to cut this short my dear, but this is an emergency. There seems to be a complaint with another company that I recently made partners with.” Winters glared a bit at the phone but it softened apologetically when he looked up at you.

“It’s fine really, I probably need to get to my shift anyways, my boss needs all hands on deck.” You smiled reassuringly. Winters kindly paid for coffee plus breakfast and gave a tip to the waiter. You both grabbed your coffee to go and left the cafe.

“Do you want me to give you a ride to your workplace?” Winters asked looking down at you.

“So I can earn some envious glances from my employees by riding a limo with a rich guy I just had breakfast with? No thanks, I’m good for today with just a free coffee in my hands.” You smiled at him and he chuckled.

“Your way of declining my offers are endearing, but maybe you’ll accept it one of these days. Until next time my dear.” The limo arrives and he gives you a kiss on the cheek before entering the spotless vehicle. You smiled and waved while the limo drove away.

Once the vehicle was gone, you sighed to yourself. The only thing that bothered you was that everything happened in that cafe didn’t displease you like those kids at high school. It felt like a natural date. Sure, it wasn’t like having a date with Leo, but it was genuine in it’s own way.

You kept walking down the sidewalk and stopped when you saw a park. Two parents playing tag with their kids together. The dad was ‘it’ and ran for the mother while the kids were laughing at their parents childishness, it made you chuckle as well. The dad caught the mom in his arms and spun her around until they fell on the grass with her on his lap. They all laughed and the parents held each other and gave each other a loving kiss in front of the kids. This made you silent and a little sad.

‘Maybe I wanted to convince myself that I don’t need him, an excuse to not love him anymore.’  

When the realization hit you, you just didn’t know what your next move was.

MASTERLIST

[sanctferum]

OK time for Dung Ruby chapter 1

The regulations. Anything unusual here compared to previous games?

Here’s the carrot! A successful blackened gets to leave.

The game ends with two people, not one? Huh.

Monokuma won’t ever directly commit a murder. Presumably punishments are not included. What about the Monokubs, though?

Violating a rule causes the Exisals to kill you. Right. No need for spears of Gungnir.

Chapter 1: Our Class Trial / My Class Trial

Yeah, Angie, I gotta wonder why Monokuma would need 2 survivors as well...are they meant to try and murder each other?

Shuichi thinks it’s cause you couldn’t do a trial with only two people, but...I don’t think that’s it.

Kaito are you trying to get yourself killed already?! He better not die right now.

Miu. TMI.

Gonta found a manhole in the grass outside. Hmmm.

Rantaro claims Kaede has what it takes to “win”. Win the killing game, or win against Monokuma?

Good thing Monokuma can’t directly kill someone...but can’t he just have the Monokubs do it?

Oh shit there’s hidden Monokumas in this game too? I just found one on a bench outside.

Oh, here’s the boiler room. The path was blocked off before. (There’s also a castle gate on the other side of the outside area. Weird.)

After some more innuendo from Miu, Keebo tried lifting the manhole, but no go.

After getting an intriguing morsel about Keebo’s past...ah, Gonta can lift it, can’t he?

Yup he can!

Let’s explore inside the manhole! I’m sure we’ll found a way we can’t use to get out!

There’s an open area below...with a monitor. And a sign that says “Exit”, which I definitely don’t trust.

There’s barrels of poison down here. I have a very bad feeling.

After re-assuring herself that everything will be fine, Kaede steps into the tunnel.

“You’re about to take on the Death Road of Despair”, says the narration. Yeah, I figured this was a trap.

Yeah I failed that one pretty quick.

And here’s Monokuma, probably here to tell us that we couldn’t have won even if I hadn’t kept messing up.

Yeah he knew we were here.

We get to try again...but...I doubt it’s actually possible to reach the exit in chapter 1.

I wonder if it is possible, though? I can’t do it, for sure, but who knows. Maybe there’s some alternate scene if you get to the exit?

Anyways we got no choice but to go to sleep for the night and try again tomorrow.

We’re gonna reconvene in the cafeteria at 8 AM tomorrow.

We finally get to go to our room! And Monokid is here to tell us about the room key.

And sleepy time.

Monokuma Theater? Monokuma Theater!

This sure ic a CG image right here.

And morning.

We can talk to Tsumigi and Shuichi before breakfast...Shuichi has something on his mind, but he won’t tell us what it is.

Everyone’s still alive. This morning, at least.

And Kokichi immediately stirs up trouble. Lovely.

Immediately upon Kaede starting to inspire the others to try again, Monokuma arrives to fuck everything up.

 And the first motive is here!

The First Blood Perk...no class trial will be held for the first murder that occurs. I wonder if that means the first person to kill gets a free pass outside...or if it means that they get punished without a trial?

Huh, it’s “no strings attached”. I still find this hard to believe.

Yeah, Rantaro’s right...this is the prisoner’s dilemma.

Kaito has had enough. He’s gonna probably get himself killed off right away by attacking Monokuma, right? Idiot.

And sure enough, the Monokubs appear...no doubt their Exisals are right behind them. Kaito, you fool.

Run? Where’s he gonna run to? He’s fucked, Kaede, and there’s not much you can do about it. RIP, moon buddy.

The screen turned red and a smashing noise was heard. This isn’t gonna be pretty.

Wh-

Did the Exisal just crush Monokuma...?

What the fu...

Monophanie claims Monokuma has no spares...but I can’t imagine Monokuma is out of the picture this early in the game.

The Monokubs are claiming to be the new headmasters...did one of them betray Monokuma...?

Rantaro suspects that someone was controlling Monokuma...maybe, maybe not...

Yeah...how exactly would we even get out of here? The passage is deadly, the wall is impenetrable...

Back in our room...we start crying, and Shuichi arrives to ring our doorbell. Hmmm.

Shuichi knows something, and he wants us to go the library to discuss it?

I don’t think he’s gonna try and kill us or anything, but he definitely knows something. What?

Kirumi’s in the hallway, but she’s just waiting around.

Gonta’s still trying to figure out why the area has no bugs. Miu is making innuendos, and Kiyo mentions having a sister.

Kaito talks about how him being reckless ended up saving the day, and when he mentions that all the Ultimates need to do is escape, Shuichi gets all quiet.

Maki thinks we’re gonna try out the passageway again. Tsumugi is waiting for a shuttle bus to come so the Ultimates can leave.

Tenko is flirting with Himiko, who is not reciprocating. Rantaro’s just chilling, and he says that the idea of a mastermind behind Monokuma was just a hunch.

And here we are at the library.

Shuichi has a secret. There’s books all over the library, even on top of the bookcases, but he found one bookcase with no books at the top. That and the markings on the floor suggest a secret passageway. And sure enough, there’s a space behind the bookshelf, with a black and white door at the far end of it.

The door is locked and can only be opened via a card reader. But just the fact that the door exists is suspicious enough. It’s possible that someone else might know about the door...a traitor within the group. Kaede doesn’t believe it, and Shuichi doesn’t want to believe it. But as a precaution for if it IS true, Shuichi set a trap on the card reader. If the dust Shuichi stuffed inside the card reader is untouched, it’s not true. If the dust is scattered on the floor, someone must have used the card reader. And if there is a traitor...Monokuma’s destruction wouldn’t matter nearly as much. The game would go on.

Shuichi felt he needed to tell Kaede no matter what. He’s gonna die soon, I think. I’ve been thinking for quite a while that he’s gonna be the first victim, so.

We return to our rooms in time for an announcement: Monodam is alone on the Monokub couch, and he has this to say:

OK he doesn’t actually have anything to say.

Monokuma theater! Notably starring Monokuma, despite his supposed destruction.

Morning announcement time? Monodam once again appears alone and says jack shit.

After talking to Ryoma in the dorm hallway, we go outside. Kokichi is being a little shit as usual, Keebo is worrying that only Monokuma knew about the Academy and that no one is coming to rescue the Ultimates, and Angie still wants to make a blood offering to her god. Inside, Tenko is excercising, and Tsumugi is worrying about her nails. Wait, is this the scene that the nail brush unlocks?

Oh, we’re offering to give her the brush, so it must be!

Odd, the menu option for leaving a room popped up? Well, I don’t particularly want to leave, so I’ll say no. If it’s the wrong decision I can replay the chapter again later, right?

In the dining hall, everyone is happy, but the mood is ruined when Kaede mentions how everything felt too easy.

The mood is then absolutely fucking shattered by Monokuma re-appearing, surrounded by ghost wisps and carrying two guns and an ammo belt, and with his ear torn.. Yeah, there was no way he was staying dead.

Oh, he’s pretending to be a Japanese demon, a Yokai. “Jibakuma”. I haven’t played Yokai Watch but this is probably making fun of it.

Miu calls him a fraud and Tsumugi says he has a low level cosplay. This isn’t a Monokub dressed up as Monokuma, is it? 

Kiyo just wants to know whether Monokuma mixed up ghosts and yokais. Monokuma takes off the costume to reveal his regular self underneath. Pfft.

The Monokubs seem just as surprised as anyone else that Monokuma is back. Hmmm.

Oh. Monokuma said there was only one of each Monokub. Monokuma himself has got plenty of spares around.

Monokuma is...licking the Monokubs. What.

Kirumi totally expected a spare Monokuma. Shuichi expected someone working with Monokuma to make the game continue. Rantaro didn’t think it would be this easy. Everyone else is freaking the fuck out.

Monokuma is not impressed by Kirumi expecting a spare. New motive time!

AH, here’s the stick. A time limit. Two days until someone dies, or until everyone dies.

And now people are panicking...Kokichi and Miu are both close to snapping and killing someone, for sure. Kiyo is absolutely fine with the killing game continuing...and so on and so forth. Everyone just ups and leaves.

Rantaro doesn’t just not trust the other Ultimates...but, guessing that his missing memory might be part of Monokuma’s plan, he doesn’t trust himself either. But...he does have one memory that he brings up. The term “Ultimate Hunt”. The term from the first part of the prologue...he doesn’t remember where he’s heard the term before, though.

Shuichi has his own thoughts on the matter of the killing game. In the morning, before meeting up with everyone, he went to the library, and found that someone had used the card reader. To the library we go...

The Monokubs mentioned a machine that could make spare Monokumas, but...wasn’t that just speculation on their part?

Oh boy. Everyone forced to participate will die in 2 days. Which means if someone is voluntarily working with Monokuma...they won’t be killed along with everyone else. This traitor might not just be a traitor, but the mastermind themselves.

So...Shuichi and Kaede plan to wait in the library at the end of the 2 days, and catch the mastermind in the act of entering the room. Assuming that by that time, no one is already dead...I suspect that’s where the fatal flaw is.

but for now, Free Time!

I’m gonna hang out with Shuichi, and then if there’s more free time, someone else.

Next time...to the school store, to get presents for free time!
