#he swears he'll slap some sense into him AND send Monokuma flying into the sky later!!!

*earlier in the day, taka texted shuichi to meet him in the classroom that they had been in a few days ago along with the odd request that he wears his halloween costume! however, things would be slightly different this time as when the detective approaches the door he'll hear that oh so familiar laughter! yet... despite it very clearly being that bear's signature laugh, the voice it's coming from doesn't sound like him at all. in fact, it sounds just like-*

"Kyōdai!! Oh, I knew you would be here right on time!" *the boy won't even get the chance to open the classroom door as it suddenly flies open, an exceptionally eager taka greeting him! however... something in the boy's usually bright eyes doesn't seem quite right, not to mention the monochromatic uniform and cap that he's now wearing seems worryingly familiar...*

"Come in, come in! Everyone is now accounted for so this special, extracurricular Halloween lesson can finally begin! Please, take a seat anywhere you like, bro!" *and taka then takes a step back and makes a sweeping motion towards the nearly-empty classroom, a passed out makoto and sayaka already occupying two of the seats!*

"Ah, please don't mind them, they'll wake up soon enough! When they do, I think you will be pleasantly surprised to see just how eager they both will be to get into the spirit of the season, puhuhu~!"

Normally when Kiyotaka wanted to meet up somewhere, Shuichi did not find it strange at all; it's what they often did whenever they planned to hang out. Though this particular request to meet him at that specific classroom.... in his costume? Was definitely strange... he couldn't even begin to guess why, but he still did as asked and put on his vampire costume before making his way to the classroom. That's when he heard that laugh through the door, but not from Monokuma; but rather, Kiyotaka... ".....?"

Furrowing his eyebrows, he was about to announce- "Um....Taka? I...I'm he-" Until a startled yelp instead left him when the other swung the door open so suddenly.. "A-Ah! Y-Yes, um, hi... of course..." That 'off’ he already had, grew tenfold when looking at him. That strange look in his eyes, that uniform: and even his excitable behavior seemed off, too. (”Something is definitely strange about Taka today... and why he is wearing....that thing?”) A bad feeling grew in his chest at the thought of entering that classroom... but he was already hear, in his costume and everything: was too late to turn back, now... “Uhh....o-okay...”

He raises an eyebrow at the mention of ‘everyone’ as he hears him explain. “Everyone?” Halloween...lesson....?” The way he put it, didn’t make it sound like it’d be something like a small Hallowen party or something.. And the moment he entered, he expected to see a lot more people since Kiyotaka said ‘everyone.’ That is, until his eyes locked Sayaka and Makoto... who were knocked out at their desks.

“?!” Alarmed, he runs over to the two. “M-Makoto? Sayaka?! Are you both okay?! Wh-What happened to them?!” Shuichi gives a small, frantic shake to their shoulders as his head snaps towards Kiyotaka’s direction, expecting an answer. This did not look as if they simply fell asleep at the desks to him: something was really wrong about this scene, here. He was honestly starting to get creeped out.. “Wh-...Don’t mind? You expect me to just ignore this?! I don’t know if this is your idea of a prank, but...” No, he already knew it wasn’t: Kiyotaka wasn’t the type who’d pull off a dark prank like this, much less get his classmates in on it. Something told him the way he was talking, was not an act.

“...Y-You’re seriously creeping me out.. What did you do to them? And why are you wearing that? That damn Monokuma.. this has something to do with whatever he was trying to do to you the other day, wasn’t it? Is that what you did to these two?! Because if so, then-” The initially disturbed look on his face solidifies into a firm glare. “I refuse to play along. Now cut it out already and help me get me back to their dorms!”
