#but also I do not CARE because I can finally fucking afford a ryoma figure and he looks GOOD

[no1ryomafan]

Nobody knows how excited I am rfn (YES. NEW RYOMA FIGURE. AFTER 1000 YEARS. AND WERE GONNA GET MORE AFTER)

[sanctferum]

OK, Free Time Chapter 2!

OK before we begin, I was thinking about the prologue, and I remembered Shuichi told Kaede that Maki didn’t seem like the Ultimate Child Caregiver, and that we very conspicuously have not been allowed in her Ultimate lab. Not saying her real talent is something else, but this is something to keep in mind.

I wanna get Kokichi’s unique trial skill, because I suspect it will let me shoot a lie bullet without taking damage if it misses. But what would he like?

Kokichi’s still hiding from Kaito’s fist.

What would he like...a mummy’s hand?

Seems to work.

Kokichi claims his organization controls the entire world, and is in control of every mafia out there. But’s he’s keeping them from fighting in turf wars, since he wants peace in the world. I wonder if a single word of that including “is” and “the” was true.

Oh, even more! He blackmails politicians and manipulates the stock market whenever he feels like it. Uh-huh.

Also, his subordinates aren’t rescuing him because they don’t like him. And now that Shuichi knows too much...Kokichi will eventually kill him. Unless he’s lying. God this guy is a little shit.

Next free time event! I’ll hang out with Kokichi again. He thinks we’re here to beg for our life. And he claims to be serious about eventually killing us.

Beg on our knees and slit our stomach? What do we look like, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu?

Kokichi challenges us to a game. If we win, we get to live. Sure, let’s go for it!

...The game is Yugioh?

The Shadow Realm? Sounds like a place with lots of jelly-filled donuts if you ask me.

We each pull a card from a deck and whoever has a bigger number wins.

The Heart of the Cards...

Kokichi draws a seven, and we draw...also a seven.

“Monster Reborn card” Do I get to take a card from the graveyard and add it to my hand?

Oh, a tie doesn’t count. He’s gonna kill us anyways. After three more events in our life, at least. Hey, look at that, there’s exactly 3 more free time events left to max him out.

Evening announcement. Just Monodam this time...The other Monokubs are on “work duty”?

Shuichi reflects on the will to live...Ryoma has thrown that will away...Kaede had that will, but was unable to survive...what of himself? What reason does he have to live, exactly?

As he slumbers...Monotaro, Monosuke, and Monophanie sneak in...and leave behind something as they sneak back out...

Monokuma theater, featuring The Bird by Alfred Hitchcock. In order to properly prepare for college exasm, he says, you must get rid of distractions such as comic books and video games...but Spike Chunsoft games are specially made to improve your focus, so they’re fine. Wow. Get some lying tips from Kokichi, you awful fuck.

Shuichi wakes up to Monokuma talking to him next to his bed. It’s still nighttime.

Love Key? The thing we got from the Casino?

It unlocks the Kumasutra Hotel? I knew that place had to be there for a reason!

It lets you be in someone’s fantasy. What?

Uh...OK...this is weird, what do I do?

Kaito...?

What’s he dreaming about? Facing us in some sort of game?

Kaito wanted to conquer the sky, and...oh, an airplace race?

We’ve each won 99 races...and the next will be our last...but Kaito doesn’t want it to end...

In his dreams, Kaito dreams of going into space...exploring the universe...but...he has something he wants to say to Shuichi first...

As we go to enter the final race, the bell rings and Shuichi wakes up. The Monokubs mention having left a present in everyone’s room, then sign off.

No more love key...

There’s a monopad-like item on the table.

A “Kubs Pad”...

A motive video...but the Monokubs gave Shuichi the wrong one...it’s Kaito’s...

Kaito’s parents or grandparents...his grandparents, it looks like...

They want him to live...for his sake, and their sakes too...and I bet they got killed by Monokuma afterwards...

“unfortunate accident”...yeah, thought so...

He’s not in his dorm room...to the dining hall! But first, talk to Keebo.

Everyone’s gathered in the dining hall...they must have all gotten their own motive videos.

The motive videos were all mixed up, according to Kiyo...hmmm.

Maki’s got the right of it...she ignored the tablet entirely, since she figured it would be something stupid.

So Shuichi got Kaito’s video...Gonta got Tsumugi’s video...and so on and so forth...

Keebo won’t let people exchange the pads...lest they get a motive personal to them, a motive to kill.

Ryoma wants to see his motive...perhaps seeing whatever is on it might give him the will to survive?

Kokichi thinks Monokuma’s making the Ultimates suffer because they’re trying to co-operate...and therefore, everyone should work alone instead of together. Idiot...Monokuma’s gonna make you suffer either way.

Shuichi is not down with that idea...Kaede’s death would have been for nothing if that was the case...

Kokichi tricks Gonta into following him...here’s hoping Kokichi didn’t get Gonta’s video...

Everyone starts asking Kirumi do take care of their shit, and then fucking off.

Himiko seems to be in some sort of funk. What was on her video? Who’s video was it? She isn’t saying anything, and that makes me worried.

Some people plan to show the motives to others. Others don’t want to see them. Tension rising...

Shuichi can’t afford to get depressed...for Kaede’s sake.

Free time! Time to talk up Kokichi before he kills someone (possibly)!

Kokichi and Gonta are in the Shrine of Judgement, but Gonta will talk to Kokichi later, so we can hang out with him.

Kokichi wants to have a tea party, so he drags Shuichi to the dining hall.

Kokichi is a pacifist? I dunno, liar-boy. I have my doubts.

Ah, instead of killing the people he beats in these games, he sends ‘em to Siberia to work to death. Assuming they’re alive enough, that is. But Shuichi won’t have to go to Siberia, just the afterlife, so he gets a big break there.

When Shuichi calls out Kokichi on his secret organization bullshit, Kokichi claims that if everyone believes a lie, it becomes the truth. The real truth is nowhere near as exciting...but he doesn’t say what that truth might be...

Also, by not playing a game during Kokichi’s free time event, Shuichi threw away another chance to beat Kokichi in a game and not get killed later.

Next time, more free time with Kokichi, and then probably the next murder!
