transcript for DRDT Prologue Episode Three

Teruko: Why don’t we talk to that person next?

Xander: Hello there, we–

Arturo: Arturo Giles, Ultimate Plastic Surgeon. That’s what you want out of me, right?

Ultimate Plastic Surgeon - Arturo Giles

Arturo: We both have made sufficient introductions, so I’ll be taking my leave now.

Xander: Whoa, wait. Why are you leaving so soon?

Arturo: You two are far beneath my standards and are not worth my time, that’s why.

Xander: Excuse me?

Teruko: Erm, what standards are you talking about?

Arturo: Tch. Do I need to spell it out any more for you two?

Arturo: You two are ugly. And I don’t talk to ugly people. So get out of my sight.

Xander: …

Xander: …I’m confused.

Arturo: What is there to be confused about? I made my point perfectly clear.

Xander: Your standards for talking to people is based on their physical attractiveness? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Xander: Also… I’m not that unattractive. I’m not, right, Ms. Teruko?

Teruko: …It’s okay, Xander.

Xander: Wait, what’s that supposed to mean??

Teruko: Anyway, Arturo, you said your talent was Plastic Surgeon? I guess to an extent, it would explain why you’re focused on physical beauty so much.

Teruko: But going as far to say that you won’t even talk to people you think are unattractive is, how do I say, ridiculous.

Teruko: Do you possibly think that you’re so astonishingly attractive that you think you’re above us?

Arturo: Ugh, making me explain things to you… This is why I hate interacting with the hoi palloi.

Arturo: It doesn’t matter what I look like. After all, in the end we are nothing compared to those people.

Teruko: “Those people”?

Arturo: Yes, indeed… Those people… THose celebrities, actors, idols, who adhere so strictly to a beauty code and who have sacrificed everything for their appearance.

Arturo: That upper class who has attained a higher form with their perfect standards of beauty… Their elegant forms! Their stunning grace! Everything about beautiful people is so heavenly!

Arturo: Indeed, compared to those otherworldly gods, average people like us are merely a lower caste meant only to idolize them!

Arturo: That is the true purpose of my talent. I am only meant to serve those who are beautiful, help them attain even more magnificent forms!

Teruko: …

Xander: …

Teruko: Xander, we’re talking to a lunatic. I don’t have any clue what he’s even talking about. I think we should leave, right now.

Xander: Hey, no backing down, Ms. Teruko. Besides, we’re trying to gather information, remember?

Teruko: Something about this guy just makes me want to stay as far away from him as possible.

Xander: Hey, Mr. Arturo.

Arturo: Oh. I forgot I was still talking to you. What do you want?

Xander: First of all, can you stop talking about “attractive people?”

Xander: Second of all, do you know anything about our current situation?

Arturo: First of all, no.

Arturo: Absolutely not. Secondly…

Arturo: Hmm. All I can say is, the infirmary seems abnormally well stocked.

Arturo: Normally, an infirmary for a regular building would not contain surgical supplies, partly because there are not many people who are trained to use them.

Xander: The medical bay has that sort of equipment? I didn’t see anything like that; it must have been in storage.

Xander: Has whoever brought us here anticipated that there would be a surgeon amongst us and brought the necessary equipment?

Teruko: The alternate explanation is that whoever made this place expected that, for whatever reason, we’d be seeing a lot of serious injuries in the future.

Arturo: The latter explanation seems more likely. After all, there is quite a variety of equipment that would serve no use for cosmetic surgery, which is my speciality.

Arturo: …Not that two peasants like you would know anything about it. Run along now and leave me be.

Xander: Peasants? Is that really how he views others?

Teruko: I think I’m starting to slowly understand his worldview the more I talk to him.

Teruko: …No I don’t!! Just what on earth is he going on about??

Xander: If something goes wrong, it’d be useful to have someone like Mr. Arturo around who has medical training.

Teruko: It’s just that…

Teruko and Xander: I wouldn’t want this creep to operate on me!

Teruko: Next person is…?

Levi: Hello. Do you two wish to introduce yourselves to me, now?

Xander: That’s right.

Xander: I’m Xander Matthews, the Ultimate Rebel. And this is Ms. Teruko Tawaki, the Ultimate Lucky Student.

Levi: Hmm, it seems like you’re trying to create a striking appearance with your style of dress but are mostly wearing accessories on top of a school uniform. Do you come from a private school?

Xander: Oh, right, this uniform. It’s my old boarding school’s uniform. It’s pretty lame.

Levi: On the contrary, I think it accentuates your personality well.

Levi: You are trying to make use of whatever clothing or style is forced upon you by society and altering it to create something new and original.

Levi: Just from your clothing alone, I can tell that you are an unorthodox person who doesn’t like to be constrained by rules but knows how to make use of what he’s been given.

Xander: Whoa! You can tell that much by my clothing? That’s incredible! Who are you, anyway?

Levi: Ah, my apologies. I was so focused on analyzing you that I neglected to introduce myself.

Levi: I am Levi Fontana, the Ultimate Personal Stylist. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Ultimate Personal Stylist - Levi Fontana

Xander: Ah, guess that explains why you know so much about clothes. No wonder you seem like such a cool person. I suppose someone like you knows everything there is to know about style.

Levi: I don’t wish to mislead you into thinking that I am an expert in my field. I am actually a novice when it comes to fashion.

Levi: The truth is, I only turned towards this talent recently. I was quite a different person in my past…

Levi: Although that is not something I wish to discuss, my apologies.

Teruko: He turned his gaze to me.

Levi: As for you…

Levi: Oh, dear.

Teruko: Ah, geez. Are you going to talk about my outfit now? I know that I’m probably dressed a little too shoddily for my first day of school. I probably look like a mess.

Levi: No, it’s not that.

Levi: Judging from your battered outfit and your bandages, you seem like a person who gets injured very frequently.

Levi: I’m very sorry. I don’t know whatever circumstances you were in prior to our meeting, or what caused those injuries of yours. It’s a real shame.

Levi: As long as I am your classmate and acquaintance, I will do my best to keep you safe from now on.

Teruko: A–ah, that’s incredibly nice of you. Thank you so much.

Levi: If there is anything the two of you need, just let me know and I will be happy to help to the best of my abilities.

Xander: I’m relieved; it turns out that Levi’s an incredibly nice person.

Teruko: Right. I wonder what happened in his past, though? He brought it up but didn’t elaborate.

Teruko: It’s probably best not to pry.

Teruko: Hello there.

Ace: Huh? The fuck do you want, bitch?

Teruko: Eh?

Xander: Hey, don’t talk to Ms. Teruko like that. What gives you the right to be so rude?

Ace: What gives you the right to talk to me in the first place, asshole?

Xander: You’re being the real asshole here!

Ace: You wanna fight??

Teruko: …I think this is only going to escalate unless I step in.

Teruko: We don’t want to start a fight, okay?

Teruko: Well, I don’t want to start a fight. Xander may be halfway there already.

Teruko: My point is, I just want to know your name and talent, and maybe a little bit about yourself? We have no negative intentions, I assure you.

Ace: Why should I tell you who I am? Why exactly do you deserve this information, huh?

Levi: His name is Ace Markey. He is the Ultimate Jockey.

Ace: Why did you tell them that–OH GOD IT’S YOU

Ultimate Jockey - Ace Markey

Teruko: Oh! A jockey. That explains–

Teruko: –nothing. By the way, Levi, did you do something to Ace? He seems quite frightened of you.

Levi: I assure you I have not done anything, at least to my knowledge.

Ace: Bullshit! You’ve been watching me ever since I got here! You’re probably, like, planning to beat me up or something!

Levi: I have been watching you because you have tried to start a fight with every single person that has talked to you thus far, and I would like to avoid the chance of an actual fight breaking out.

Ace: Are you just making things up? When is the last time I even did such a thing?

Xander: Are you kidding me? Just now, you had asked me if I wanted to fight.

Xander: Which, by the way, I’m perfectly willing to accept.

Ace: EEYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Ace: W–W–Wait, don’t come over here, I was just kidding! Please don’t actually fight me! Y–You look so scary, holy shit, get away from me!!

Xander: So, you talk louder than your fists, huh? You’ve been rude to us this whole time, but the moment you face any sort of consequences you instantly become a coward.

Ace: What was that?!

Levi: Please stop, both of you.

Xander. Tch. I’m not going to get riled up again over the empty words of someone so weak-willed. Besides, it’s clear to me that you’ve got nothing useful to say. Ms. Teruko, let’s leave.

Teruko: Just another minute, Xander. I still want to ask some more questions.

Xander: Suit yourself.

Teruko: …Xander sure is way too serious about this sort of thing.

Ace: What the hell do you want with me?

Teruko: Don’t come any closer. If you do, I’ll curse you with my bad luck.

Ace: Wh, wh, what?! Is that really true? S–Stay away from me at all costs! I won’t touch you!

Teruko: Wait, you took that seriously? I wasn’t serious at all. Look, I just want to have a normal conversation without you starting a fight.

Teruko: …A normal conversation standing 10 feet apart. Why did you back up so much?

Ace: How far is far enough?? Don’t come near me!

Teruko: …

Teruko: I just wanted to know why you’re so aggressive, especially when it seems that you’re unwilling to actually have a confrontation.

Teruko: Isn’t it tiring acting like that all the time? Why do you even want to come to this school?

Ace: Oi, speak up. I can’t hear you all the way over here.

Teruko: …

Ace: …Hm? You askin’ why I came to this school?

Ace: To be honest, I didn’t fuckin’ want to!

Ace: I don’t want to be an Ultimate. Hell, I don’t even want to be a jockey!

Ace: I hate horses and racing is so dangerous, it’s terrifying. What if I fell off and broke a bone? What if I died??

Teruko: Um, why are you even here then? You know you could have just… turned down the Academy’s acceptance letter, right…?

Teruko: …He can’t hear me anymore.

Xander: Don’t waste your time with this guy, he’s not going to say anything worthwhile.

Xander: Anyway, what exactly did you say to him? He keeps moving away from you.

Xander: …

Xander: He’s like, on the other side of the room.

Teruko: I just meant to frighten him a little, I really didn’t think he’d take it this seriously.

Xander: A guy like that will get scared by anything that moves.

Xander: Come on, let’s move on.

Min: …

Teruko: This person looks intensely buried in some sort of textbook.

Xander: Hello there.

Min: …

Xander: Hey, do you mind putting your book down so that we can talk to you?

Min: …

Teruko: She looks pretty engrossed. Maybe we should come back later.

Xander: I’m Xander Matthews, and I’m the Ultimate Rebel. This is ms. Teruko Tawaki, the Ultimate Lucky Student.

Teruko: You never give up, huh?

Min: …

Teruko: Uh, I don’t know if she heard us.

Min: …

Xander: Hey! Stop ignoring us! We’re not going to leave until you give us an introduction, you know!

Teruko: She slams her book shut.

Min: Hmph. Alright, I understand.

Min: I’d really prefer not to be disturbed when I’m in the middle of reading, but it seems that you two aren’t going to leave me alone.

Min: I am called Min Jeung, the Ultimate Student. It’s nice to meet you.

Ultimate Student - Min Jeung

Xander: Ultimate Student, eh? Any relation to your talent, Ms. Teruko?

Teruko: I don’t think there’s any connection between an Ultimate Student and an Ultimate Lucky Student. They just happen to have similar names.

Min: I have finished introducing myself, so…

Teruko: She opens her book and starts reading again.

Xander: Are you kidding me? We’re not done with you, so stop reading! Haven’t you got any respect for your peers?

Teruko: We’ll just ask you one question, and then we’ll leave. What do you know about the situation we're in?

Min: I don’t know anything more than you do. I think if I investigated a little, I could find something out.

Min: But right now, I’m more focused on memorizing this anatomy textbook I found in the medical room.

Xander: Wait a minute. Memorizing?? I’m probably nowhere near as smart as you, but that still looks way too dense!

Min: I can handle it. In a day, I could probably fully memorize the contents of multiple textbooks like this one.

Teruko: That’s incredible. I guess you are the Ultimate Student for a reason.

Xander: Well, that’s not what’s important here.

Xander: You woke up in a mysterious place with all your classmates, not knowing how you got here or what’s going on, and your first instinct is to start… studying?

Xander: I understand that you are the Ultimate Student, but still…

Min: You may disapprove, but it’s a simple fact that I must be constantly working to hone my talent in order to maintain it.

Min: Every single bit of free time I get is an opportunity that I can and should be using to do something productive. That is the only way I can maintain my position as the Ultimate Student.

Min: My school performance cannot be anything less of perfection. That’s the work ethic I live by.

Xander: I would understand if you were studying towards a specific profession, or a particular purpose in life. But just to keep your grades up?

Xander: Do you do anything else in your free time, other than cram?

Min: Sometimes I sleep.

Xander: Do you have any hobbies?

Min: I participate in various clubs.

Xander: Do you have any friends??

Min: Yes, I–

Min: I don’t need to prove myself to you! Just why do you think you have the right to pry into my life, anyway?

Xander: This is messed up.

Xander: See, Ms. Teruko? This is what I mean when I say society is messed up. We’re teaching people that the only thing that matters are useless rankings or grades, not actual talents.

Xander: And for what, to raise an entire generation of kids who can’t even see in front of their own faces, much less their futures?

Min: I can see through my bangs just fine.

Teruko: I think she’s missing the point.

Xander: What do you plan to do after you graduate? What good is memorizing a bunch of meaningless things once you needn’t take tests anymore?

Xander: Have you ever even thought of your own life outside of school??

Min: …

Teruko: She went back to reading.

Teruko: Xander… You may have good intentions in mind, but I don’t think lecturing strangers about how their talent and lives are pointless is necessarily the right thing to do right now.

Xander: Oh.

Xander: Well, when you put it like that… I guess I did come off as too rude.

Xander: Sorry. I just get so worked up over these things; it’s hard to stay calm when I do.

Teruko: You’re a lot to handle.

Teruko: Why don’t we just move on to the next person, then?

transcript for DRDT Prologue Episode Two

Teruko: Alright, let’s start with the closest person. That would be…

Eden: Oh! Are you introducing yourselves to me first?

Eden: Alright! Once you learn it, you won’t forget it! I’m Eden Tobisa, the Ultimate Clockmaker!

Ultimate Clockmaker - Eden Tobisa

Eden: Ehehe, how was that for an introduction?

Teruko: I’m Teruko Tawaki, the Ultimate Lucky Student.

Xander: And I’m Xander Matthews, the Ultimate Rebel. It’s nice to meet you.

Eden: You too! I hope we can become good friends.

Xander: Say, Ms. Eden, do you know anything about the situation we’re in?

Eden: Not really. I think it’s just some sort of special entrance ceremony put on by the Academy! Like, maybe they’re trying to surprise us, or something?

Xander: I wouldn’t be that naive.

Eden: Ehhh?! Everyone else is saying that we were kidnapped or something, but would that really be true? I mean, why would anyone want to kidnap us and move us here?

Teruko: There’s plenty of reasons. Ultimates are very famous, and Hope’s Peak Academy has a lot of money. Maybe we’re being held for ransom.

Eden: W–what?? That can’t be true, right? I don’t want to believe that, it’s too scary!

Xander: A–alright, please calm down, Ms. Eden. We don’t know anything for sure.

Teruko: Maybe we should talk about something lighter…

Teruko: Er, clockmaking, was it? What do you do?

Eden: I make clocks, silly! Do you think I walk dogs or something?

Eden: Well, I mean, I do love animals! But that’s not my profession. I mostly repair clocks, but I love to hand-make antique clocks too.

Eden: There’s just something so relaxing about working with fine machinery. I usually have a good sense of time, but I lose track of it when I work! Sometimes I can work up to a total of 15 hours without breaks!

Xander: Fifteen hours?! That’s insane! Are you joking?

Eden: Ki~dding~ It’s only fourteen!

Xander: You’re still joking, right?

Eden: Maybe I am, maybe I’m not!

Teruko: Ah, well, she seemed nice enough.

Xander: She’s a little naive and seems to get upset easily. At least she’s cheerful, I suppose. But we didn’t get any useful information about our situation from her.

Teruko: Right. Perhaps the next person will have more information.

Hu: Hello there.

Teruko: Hi. I’m Teruko Tawaki. Ultimate Lucky Student.

Xander: And I’m Xander Matthews, the Ultimate Rebel.

Hu: I am Hu Jing, the Ultimate Zither Player. It’s very nice to meet you.

Ultimate Zither Player - Hu Jing

Teruko: Ah… hm.

Hu: Is something the matter?

Teruko: No, your name just made me think of some silly joke. It’s nothing.

Hu: I am… well aware of the confusion my first name might cause. You can call me by my full name, I don’t mind.

Hu: At least you kept your jokes to yourself, unlike some other people here.

Whit: Hehehe. “Hu” are you guys talking about?

Hu: *sigh* Whit, please refrain from interrupting in other’s conversations. We talked about this.

Whit: Fine, I’ll go bother Charles. See ya~

Hu: Please don’t do that either–

Hu: He’s gone.

Hu: Teruko, Xander, a word of advice, since you two are the last to get introduced to your classmates.

Hu: I don’t know what kinds of schools you went to previously, but your classmates here are Ultimates, not normal students. As thus, they may be a little odd, or… immature.

Hu: Unfortunately, some people here are quite the handful.

Xander: It can’t be that bad, right? In my old school, everyone was so uptight all the time, so a little character might be a good reprieve.

Hu: Trust me, you will lose your patience talking to some of these people. You’ll see soon enough.

Hu: Ah, enough talk about that. Why don’t we learn about each other? After all, that is the point of making introductions.

Hu: I know about the lottery for the Lucky Student, but just what sort of talent is Rebel?

Xander: The title “Rebel” doesn’t really suit me, to be honest. I can tell that you’re worried, so I’ll let you know that I’m not just some brazen delinquent.

Hu: Well, that is a relief. The last thing we need is more disorder in this group. I would very much prefer if our relations ran smoothly.

Teruko: As for you, you said you were the “Ultimate Zither Player?” Um, what exactly is a Zither? Sorry if it’s a stupid question.

Hu: No worries, dear. Zithers are a family of stringed instruments. The strings are strung on a thin and flat body, so maybe it would be helpful to think of something similar to a guitar without a neck.

Hu: There are many varieties of zithers, such as the Japanese Koto, the Vietnamese Dan tranh, the Korean Gayageum, the Mongolian Yatga, and my speciality, the Chinese Guzheng.

Hu: Of course, there are also European varieties of the zither as well, but those kinds are a different style than what I normally play, so I’m not well acquainted with those.

Teruko: Wait, can you repeat that? The koto, the dan… something, uh… I think I need to write this down somewhere.

Hu: Ahahaha! I’m not asking you to memorize them; I’m just listing a few examples. I’m glad you’re that serious, though!

Hu: There is such a rich history behind every one of these instruments, and I haven’t even started on playing the instruments themselves.

Hu: I won’t bore you with the details, but there is a lot of technique and training required to effectively play a zither. I have practiced for many years to earn my Ultimate title.

Hu: Music truly is my passion. If you can inspire emotions in those who listen to your work, then you have become a true musician. That’s my philosophy.

Xander: Wow, that’s incredible! I’d love to hear you play one day!

Hu: Of course. I’m always willing to perform for anyone who loves music just as I do.

Xander: Amazing! You can hear it in her voice when she talks, just how much she knows and cares about music. That sort of devotion is truly inspiring!

Teruko: She was quite nice, too. Do you think everyone else here will be as friendly as Hu and Eden?

Xander: Probably? Didn’t Ms. Hu Jing say something bad about everyone else, though?

Teruko: Well, we’ll just have to find out ourselves. Who should we talk to next?

J: …

Teruko: Hello there. My name is Teruko Tawaki, and I’m the Ultimate Lucky Student. It’s nice to meet you.

Xander: And I’m–

J: Xander Matthews, right? Ultimate Rebel.

Xander: You know who I am? Am I famous already?

J: Fuckin’ no, dumbass. I can hear you shouting all the way across the room. It’s kind of hard not to hear you talking about yourself.

Xander: Oh. Sorry, I’ve got a bit of a tendency to get carried away when I talk.

J: Tch. The name’s J Moreno. I’m the Ultimate Effects Artist. Ultimate Effects Artist - J Moreno

Xander: Jay? As in, short for blue jay?

J: No, it’s a nickname–ugh, nevermind.

J: Teruko, was it? Can I just talk to you for a bit?

Teruko: Eh? Sure thing, I suppose.

Xander: You don’t want to talk with me? Do you not like me or something?

J: No.

Xander: Oh, that was… a rhetorical question…

Xander: Well! I guess I’ll just stand to the side until you ladies are done. Have fun, Ms. Teruko!

Teruko: So, why do you want to talk to just me? Is there something important you need to tell me?

J: Oh, not at all. I just can’t stand that other guy. I hate talking to people who are too loud and self–centered.

Teruko: Are you talking about Xander? He’s quite energetic and overbearing, that’s true. Surely he can’t be that unbearable, though. You can’t be so confident that you’ll hate someone you just met, right?

J: Maybe you’re right. It’s just that, I deal with people like that all the time, and I hate it.

Teruko: You deal with people like Xander all the time?

J: In a way. Effects Artists like me can work on special effects for things like movies, TV shows, or live productions, but I specialize in theater.

J: I do all sorts of backstage work for various plays, musicals, and such.

J: I can’t deny that I love the work, but the worst part of working in theater is dealing with all those annoying actors!

J: They all think they’re hot shit because they’re the ones out in the spotlight in front of the audience. Just because you’re the center of attention doesn’t make you a likeable person or anything!

Teruko: That’s quite a prejudice you have. I doubt all actors are like that.

J: I guess you’re right. I… I just…

J: I know I’m sort of a judgemental person, alright? I can’t help it. So, I’m sorry for insulting your friend, or, whatever…

Teruko: It’s alright. Xander isn’t my friend, anyway, so I’m not offended. I’ve only known him for a few minutes.

Xander: We aren’t friends? Yeowch.

J: Wha–Have you been listening in on this conversation, you creep?!

Xander: Ahaha, my bad. I haven’t really got anything else to do, so…

Xander: I know you don’t like me, although I’m not sure why, so I’ll just keep it quick. Do you know anything about the situation we’re in?

Teruko: Ah, right. I forgot to ask, sorry. It would be helpful if you could share anything you knew with us.

J: Hmm… Sorry, I don’t know anything either. I just woke up in a weird bedroom like the rest of you guys and found my way here.

J: Although I’ve been looking around at the decor, and I think that wherever we are, it’s been newly constructed. Everything’s brand new. It’s almost like some sort of movie set.

J: We might even be the first people here. Add that to the fact that those doors all had our names on them, and that just makes this whole situation even more strange.

J: Who would build an entirely new building just for us?

Teruko: Maybe it’s a new school building? Although, I feel that if this is associated with Hope’s Peak, we’d be given an idea of what’s going on, so maybe not.

Xander: “Don’t know anything,” huh?

J: Hey, shut it!

Xander: I–I wasn’t making fun of you…

Xander: W–well! Thanks for the information! You’ve been a big help, really.

J: …Whatever.

Xander: She was a little rude, to be honest. Don’t you agree?

Teruko: I think it’s just you. She doesn’t like people who are annoying, shout a lot, are self–centered…

Xander: Wait, are you describing me?! You’re so blunt!

Veronika: Ah, hello! I am Veronika Grebenschikova, and I am the Ultimate Horror Fanatic.

Ultimate Horror Fanatic - Veronika Grebenschikova

Teruko: I’m Teruko Tawaki, and this is Xander Matthews.

Teruko: Excuse me for asking, but what exactly is a Horror Fanatic?

Veronika: Very good question! It means that I’m a big fan of the horror genre!

Veronika: I love horror movies, horror games, horror books, you name it! It just fascinates me!

Teruko: So you got your Ultimate title from being a big fan of something?

Veronika: It’s not just that! I also happen to be a scholar on the cultural influences of the horror genre, as well as the psychology behind fear and other related emotions.

Xander: I see! Doing deeper research into topics that you’re passionate about– it’s very admirable, Ms. Veronika! I like that sort of spirit!

Veronika: Ehehe! I’m glad.

Teruko: So, Veronika–

Veronika: Oh oh oh! Speaking of horror, let me tell you about the horror book I’m currently reading! It’s called Forever Dead!

Teruko: Oh, is that–

Veronika: You see, it’s about a boy stuck in a time loop and forced to watch his friends die for eternity. While he is horrified at first, he eventually becomes more concerned over his growing boredom in the face of terrible tragedies because he sees them over and over again. The book is written like a normal autobiography at first, but as the protagonist descends into insanity over time, the writing style starts to fall apart and take on a more sinister tone. Format twists like that are so fascinating, don’t you think? Honestly, I would really love to know just how it feels to be in his shoes and experience something so horrible over and over and over again. And then, my favorite scene in the book, is one time he’s impaled by many metal metal spikes and left to slowly bleed to death while he’s left alone with his thoughts. He’s forced to apologize for everything he did… while… he… um……. ahh……….. Teruko: …

Xander: …

Teruko: Nice… story?

Veronika: …

Veronika: Oh no, oh no, I did it again!

Veronika: I’m super sorry for rambling, I just get so carried away when I talk about things I think are interesting… I even forgot you two were here!

Veronika: Eeek, this is so embarrassing! I’m so sorry!! You two must think I’m super weird for being obsessed with this kind of thing.

Xander: Absolutely not! There’s no need to be ashamed of being so interested in something! I think it’s admirable that you’ve got so much passion, so don’t ever apologize for it!

Teruko: I agree, there’s no need to be ashamed. Besides, the premise of that book seems very interesting.

Veronika: A-ah, truly? You think it’s interesting?

Veronika: In that case…

Veronika: Let me tell you all about it!

Teruko: Veronika proceeded to ramble on about Forever Dead for several minutes.

Teruko: Actually, it felt like an hour.

Teruko: I won’t lie, it seems like an interesting book, and I would like to read it–

Veronika: I know, right?

Teruko: –But you sort of spoiled the entire book to us just now.

Veronika: Oh.

Teruko: Anyway, I think we should move on from this topic.

Teruko: What do you think about the situation we are in?

Veronika: Hmm, there’s a lot to say about it! 16 People waking up in a mysterious location where unknown horrors await them could be the plot of a movie or something similar.

Veronika: Most chillingly of all, we still have yet to find out how we all got here. The aspect of not knowing what will happen next, more than anything else, is what makes us apprehensive of this particular situation.

Veronika: Maybe we’ll find out that we’re all forced to kill each other in cold blood! Wouldn’t that be exciting!

Teruko: Eeh… Exciting is not exactly the word I would use for that.

Veronika: O–oh, I meant, hypothetically speaking, of course…

Teruko: Hm. She’s a bit strange, to say the least.

Xander: Well, she’s definitely very passionate about this horror stuff. That’s not an issue, right?

Teruko: It’s probably no concern.

Teruko: I mean, it’s not like any of that stuff she said about us being forced to kill each other is foreshadowing for whatever atrocities are going to happen to us or anything like that.

Teruko: That would just be silly.

Xander: …You’ve got quite the morbid sense of humor, you know.

Teruko: Let’s talk to the next person.

David: Hello. My name is David Chiem, and I’m the Ultimate Inspirational Speaker. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Ultimate Inspirational Speaker - David Chiem

Teruko: Same here. I’m Teruko Tawaki, and I’m the Ultimate Lucky Student.

Xander: …

Teruko: …Xander, are you going to introduce yourself too–

Xander: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Teruko: W–augh!!

David: Whoa!

David: Sir, is everything alright? You gave me quite a scare–

Xander: I know you! Mr. David Chiem, right?

David: Yes, that’s me, although I don’t believe we’ve met before.

Xander: No, we haven’t, but I’m a massive fan of your speeches!!

Teruko: Oh, is this person famous?

Xander: Famous? Famous?? Mr. David is known worldwide for his incredibly popular and charismatic speeches!

Xander: He’s extremely renowned because of how he encourages and uplifts those who listen to him speak!

Xander: Supposedly he gets tons of letters every day from fans telling him just how much he’s turned their lives around!

David: Ahaha, you flatter me.

David: But yes, it is my goal to inspire others. I wish to make everyone realize that their aspirations are within grasp; all they have to do is find the motivation within their hearts to inspire them.

Xander: You’re just as incredible in real like as you are in your T*****k videos! Mr David, I never thought I’d get the change to tell you just how much you inspire me!

Xander: Watching your speeches gives me the willpower to achieve my goals. You’re a massive role model to me!

David: O–oh, wow. I’m incredibly honored, I suppose? Sorry, I don’t really know how to respond.

Teruko: Xander, you might be making him a little nervous–

Xander: Can I get your autograph? Wait, I’ll be back in a sec, I need to find something for you to sign!

David: …

David: Ugh, am I done with these dumb introductions already? This really sucks.

David: Damn, why’d I even come to this ridiculous school? I hate talking to people anyway… I wish I were in bed…

Teruko: Um…

David: Ah–! You, you’re still here?

David: I–I mean, I thought you went with Xander…

Teruko: No, I’m still here.

David: Ah, ahahaha… I… I see…

David: Please–Forget what you heard–!

Xander: *huff* *puff* I’m back. Can you sign this, please?

David: Of course, anything for a fan~.

Teruko: So did you not want to come to Hope’s Peak?

Xander: Hm? What are you talking about, Ms. Teruko?

David: Ah, don’t mind her. Teruko and I were just… having a little chat while you were gone?

David: Please keep it a secret between us two, alright?

Xander: …What was that about?

Teruko: Is this guy really your role model? He doesn’t seem as positive as he makes himself out to be.

Xander: Oh, I see. You’ve fallen victim to those rumors.

Xander: People just want to smear Mr. David’s image because they want to tear down good people. I’m telling you; he is not a faker or a liar!

Xander: I thought you were better than this, Ms. Teruko! Slander is wrong!

Teruko: …Alright, I understand. He did ask me to keep it a secret, so, I guess I’ll drop the topic.

Teruko: Why don’t we talk to that person next?
