Ring ring | Sizura | Open | [Room A16] -> [Hotel Lobby]

She’d calmed down a little. A couple hours of shutting herself in her room did wonders for her fears of crazy stuffed bears and being stuck in an airport forever, mostly because the sheer boredom of sitting in a hotel room with nothing to do was starting to get to her. Even more than the threat of murder.

She stood behind her hotel room door, staring at it for a full minute before finally making herself open it and leave. She checked for the fifth time that she had her room key and phone with her before closing the door again behind her. Once she was in the hallway, she paused – she didn’t really know where to go from there. Hadn’t thought it through that far, really. There wasn’t much of a point of going to the pool. One of the lobbies might have some other students, but she was sure if she went there she’d just end up standing off to the side, doing just as much nothing as she’d been doing in her room.

Nowhere to go, nothing to do. Airports. What fun.

She sighed and pulled out her phone again, starting to wander in the direction of the lobby. She knew she’d probably never work up the guts to approach someone out there, but… this thing had everyone else’s numbers on it, didn’t it? She pulled up the contacts and scrolled through, vaguely recognizing only a couple of the names.

Might as well do it before she changes her mind, right? She picked one of the numbers at random and hit the call button.

Don’t pick up don’t pick up don’t pick up don’t pi-

The phone picked up. Oh boy. She actually had to say something now. Why had she thought this was a good idea, again?

“Hi, this is Sizura Arisato, and… well, I was just kinda checking out the phones. I picked one of the numbers at random, honestly. So… what’s up?”

Conversation. Words. Whether the crazy bear was serious or not, she might as well get to know some of her classmates, right? Even if it was only over the phone. She didn’t even remember which of the names she’d picked anymore. Crap.

“Sorry, but uh… who is this?”

(Ab)normal Days: Komachi Uoya | To the Window, To the Door | RE: Ryota

"What the hell."

Komachi didn’t sign up for this thing. She did not sign up against her will to be bossed around by a fluffy, two toned bear with a beary bad attitude. At this point in time, she was waiting for some television idol to jump up from behind the desk yelling ‘punked!’ and then they could go home and enjoy the wonders of wi-fi. Which this place lacked.

If she had to go one more day without it, she’d start breaking some bones. The bear’s specifically. 

The sound of someone banging against something loudly snapped the girl out of her sour thoughts.

"….?"

Komachi cast a glance over to the door which she had tried to open several days earlier, watching as the strong type male practically slam his entire body into it. There was no reaction from the door though.

Watching his failure, she only smirked to herself, making her way over to the door, a proud smile gracing her features.

"You’re completely doing it wrong you idiot! Watch the pro do this!"

She then took a few steps back, then running full force towards the door. As she got close enough, she then jumped up, to do a sort of running-jump-kick thing. Unfortunately, her time was extremely off. Her knee hit the door, causing her to fall forward, her face slamming into the metal before then falling onto the floor and curling herself into a ball, covering her now bloody nose.

"Real world graphics suck.."

[Kimmy] "You act like this is some kind of fucked up story~ No way, though I realize I'm just too good to be true, so I guess I can understand you thinking that! Ohohohoho-...You wanna say that to my face, you fluffy piece of shit? You're a stuffed bear, I could rip your head off if I wanted to. I won't be killed, if they try I'll just hit back harder, so don't you worry. But if you think you can sing better than me, you're on. Try me~"

"You know what I love? The fact I can make new rules. Special characters get such great privileges and powers, you know? So, let’s add ‘No violence to your lovely ex-pilot Monobear is allowed!"

Sure enough, a ping could be heard from your phones as a new message appeared, updating you on the new rule.

Rule no. 12You may not inflict harm upon your great ex-pilot Monobear. Doing so will result in “punishment.”

"That's much better, isn't it? Anyway, go ahead. A good old fashioned brawl and struggle is always good with the ratings, upupu! Let's have our very own singing showdown sometime, but the bear shows no mercy!"

(Ab)Normal Days || Risako || Common World Domination

Risako’s conversation with the sweets guy apparently would have to be put on hold for some bullshit. Honestly. She was enjoying herself, and now they were being called for something else? How annoying.

Either way, she figured that it was best to get this over with, so she could return to relaxing in the airport until she inevitably had to go to that damn school with that damn title.

As she listened on and on, her expression didn’t seem to change much. She didn’t seem particularly shocked by any of the information being given to her. Oh, sure, it was new to her, but it didn’t actually bother her too much. So they had to stay in the airport? Fine. She already wanted to stay here. So long as she didn’t have to go home or to her dad, she didn’t care all too much.

But, one part of the announcement did seem to get her attention.

What was this bullshit about killing? What the fuck? Why couldn’t they all just stay here without some other added crap? If the other people here wanted to leave, let them leave. If they wanted to stay, let them stay. But now she wasn’t going to get a chance to relax in the airport and hotel; now she had to worry about some fucker coming to kill her! She didn’t  sign up for this! She just came out to have a good time, and now she had to worry about being attacked.

"Th’ fuck? Th’ fuck?”

That seemed to be her only response to Monobear towards this. Though, following that, she then turned to the rest of her classmates.

"Oi! I don’ wan’ ‘ny part ‘f this murdering bullshit, so don’ think ‘f comin’ afta me! ‘F ya’ll shitheads wanna beat ‘n stab each otha t’ get outta here, be my fuckin’ guest! I don’ plan on leavin’, so I don’ wanna be a part of this shit! Got that?! ‘M not killin’, ‘m not gettin’ killed, I don’ give a shit!

Peace out, ya cockmonglers!”

After that, she turned on the heel of her platform shoes, and stomped off to her room. There she goes.

Next event: August 31st 12:00 AM (BODY REVEAL)

Ah! Okay, I've noticed that a lot of folks are starting school again, so I prolonged the time until our next event!! Hopefully, everyone will get into the swing of things by then and work out a schedule between school and rping! The mods and I will also be working hard in the meantime! ;;

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Kimmy] "Excuse me, you miserable piece of felt? Do you think you could maybe shut up for a couple of moments so I won't have to hear that disgusting voice of yours? Ohohoho, thank you~! Now, you said we have to kill, right? Come on, I know everyone here is extremely stupid, but what makes you think they'll actually fall for it? Did they fill your head with too much stuffing or something?"

"Oh? Looks like the dame is eager for some hot, leaked spoilers! No worries though, I shall be valiant and not submit to the temptation! After all, we have to keep some suspense for that plot reveal.”

"Sheesh, it’s divas like you that you make my job hard. Give a kind, old bear a break!"

"While I'm at it, your voice wasn't my top choice either. Man, those talent agents sure don't know how to pick when they just skipped over me! But hey, maybe you can try breaking some glass with your squeaks. That ought to rile up your 'friends'! Ooo, maybe that'll be their motive. Wouldn't that be dandy? Ever tried modelling as a corpse?"

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | A Bear-y Surprising Development | Open Reaction

”…”

Ryota was left speechless by the time the bear had completed its long winded monologue. Naturally for him, he had drifted in and out of what the bear was saying, but he had heard all the important factors loud and clear. By this point, with mind was brimming with questions. When the bear had said the flight was cancelled, did he mean it was cancelled cancelled? Did he really expect the students to kill each other to escape the airport? And if the doors were sealed, how long before this airport ran out of air?! This airport was starting to feel more like a prison.

As the bear vanished without a trace, the lobby was left in an uncomfortable silence. Well, that was until the lobby was in an uproar in a matter of seconds. Some students brushed off the bear’s speech as some sort of sick joke, while others were outraged that their flight had been cancelled.  The rest just sat in silence, either from fear or just confusion. Ryota was unsure of how to feel. Sure, his flight had been cancelled, but was that the most pressing matter? I mean, the bear had said that they had to kill each other to gain their freedom! …Unless, could murder have been a synonym for something else? Sadly, Ryota doubted this.

He assumed that the whole ‘’murder’’ thing was getting to some of the other students, as several took their leave from the lobby. Maybe he should do the same? No… being alone at a time like this did not seem like a wise decision. Tensions were high, and murder was the only way of gaining your freedom? Yeah, not wise to be alone, Ryota concluded silently to himself.

To occupy himself, he decided he had better look over the rules that Monobear had mentioned were sent to his new phone. He fished it out of his pocket, flipping it open and assessing the new list of rules. Blah blah littering… blah blah no violence… pretty standard rules for an airport. Well, not including the rules pertaining to murder and dead bodies. And what was this about Hope Shards? Huh. He supposed that will be more relevant later.

He put away his phone, unsure of what to do next. He glanced at the door through which they had entered earlier. Did that bear really seal the exits that fast…? He sauntered over, giving a brisk tug on the handle several times. Become more irritated by the second, he switched to trying to knock down the door by running at it with his shoulder. After being thoroughly defeated by the door, he slunk down by the wall, panting. Yep, that thing wasn’t budging anytime soon.

Nope nope nope | Sizura | Reaction | [Main Lobby] -> [Room A16]

“…”

Sizura was having a hard time taking it all in. The deserted airport and the delayed flight she might have been able to rationalize if she’d been given enough time, but now this? This bear, this Monobear pilot thing, telling them that they’re locked in? Telling them to kill each other? School trial? …Gay baby jail?

After a moment, Sizura managed to stop gaping at the spot that Monobear had stood a moment ago and nervously glanced around at the other students, trying to gauge their reactions. They weren’t – they couldn’t be taking this seriously… could they? She couldn’t tell; she was never very good at reading people.

God, her thoughts were a mess. Everything had been so messed up since the moment she’d stepped foot in this place.

So… Airport. Usami. Delayed flight. Hotel. Then… Monobear. Flights canceled. Trapped. Trials. And… rules, right? Hadn’t he said something about the rules being sent to their phones? She hadn’t checked her goodie bag yet; she hadn’t even gotten around to going to her room.

Oh, and there was still whole ‘kill your friends’ part. That too. Yeah, she kind of really wanted to get away from all these people and go to her room right now. And then maybe never come out. She mumbled a quick explanation for anyone who cared to be listening.

“…I’m just… I’m gonna go to my room and get that phone soIcanseewhattherulesaregoodbye.”

She took off at a fast walk, then started running as soon as she was through the doors to the hotel lobby, going straight for the stairs. She’d checked her room number earlier – A16, second floor. It was the second door on the left. Once inside, she slammed the door behind her and locked it.

Finally able to relax, she realized that she was probably completely overreacting. The two other students that she’d had a chance to talk to didn’t exactly seem like the murderous type, and… the rest of them were probably no different, right? Nothing to worry about.

She left the door locked, though. Just in case.

Finding the goodie bag, she grabbed the phone, ignoring the rest for now. She flipped it open to find the list of rules, and started scrolling through. The first few sounded relatively normal, but… then there were the rules about the murder and trials. Oh god, there was even something about what happens when a body is discovered. It somehow seemed more real, seeing the rules written out instead of explained to her by a talking teddy bear thing.

But no… nothing bad was going to happen. She should just be embarrassed for running like that, from something that couldn’t possibly be real. She didn’t have to be afraid of the others. No one would be that stupid, to actually believe this bear, to try to get out by somehow getting away with killing three people! There was no way. Nope. No way at all.

…Right?

Sullying Hands // [ab]Normal Days 1: Akaze // Reaction+Open

What the fuck was going on here? Not one, but two creepy mascots? Never leaving this airport? Murder? Clearly, Akaze Kozaki had chosen the wrong day to travel. He wasn’t even afraid, he was just more pissed off than ever.

Honestly, it wasn’t even the murder thing that was freaking him out. He was too arrogant to even consider the fact that someone might actually target him. As for doing the deed himself… he usually had people to do this sort of thing for him. He hadn’t yet decided how he felt about personally sullying his hands.

Obviously they had been kidnapped, and Akaze could not imagine that his connections on the outside would take note soon enough. All he had to do was sit tight… right? Someone had to be coming.

He left the room soon enough, displeased by the development.

An hour or two after the announcements, Akaze could be found ruminating on the situation in the hotel lobby, seated comfortably in one of the chairs. He rested on elbow on the arm of the chair, his face leaned against his raised fist; the other hand drummed a steady rhythm on the chair’s other arm. A novel rested on the table, open but upside down, abandoned in favour of thoughtfulness.

Other people were coming and going, of course - with limited space but 22 people, it was to be expected. But either he was ignoring them or simply not noticing them. Either way, he didn’t react as one of the other students approached his table.

A Trick? Bah! Not Even A Magic Trick... | Reaction

His eyes were cast downward, hat slightly tilted forward, a broken man for all intents and purposes. He looked defeated, as if he had lost a great war, as if he had learned he had contracted a fatal disease. Soon his shoulders were shaking, bouncing uncontrollably, and small muffled sounds could be heard coming from him. Was he going to be alright? Was that… laughter?

Suddenly he threw his head back, his top hat barely maintaining it’s place on his head. A booming laugh echoed in the quiet room, and a small tear formed in the corner of one of his eyes. What the hell was wrong Chuckles the Clown over here? In time the suited man slowed his laughter, wiping away the tear and sporting the cheesiest of grins. This bear was so stupid that it was actually funny.

"Oh wow, do you really expect me to believe all of that? Puh-LEEZE! That was one of the dumbest performances I have ever seen. I’m not gonna lie, the last speech you gave was semi convincing, but everything else here is a logical fallacy! I mean I pieced together that there was some kind of ruse on our first day, and you think that you can come out all high and mighty like this was all suddenly the idea of a 2 foot bear? Actually 2 feet is kinda generous here, but whatever.”

"Alright, let’s think back to the problems with this airport. It actually all started the moment we got here: The departures. We were never allowed into the departure zone, at all. That includes before Usami got her phone call saying we weren’t gonna leave. If we were to arrive and leave at our earliest convenience, and it was close to our time to go, why was that section already under lock and key? Would it not be simpler to, I don’t know, actually let people into the area with planes?”

"There’s also the rooms and gift baskets. I can understand thinking ahead for water and chocolates, I really can, but an embroidered towel? That isn’t a last minute decision, that’s something professionally made, or someone had enough time to learn how to do it themselves. And cell phones? Who would even think of that? Not to mention that those cards were loaded with money (that we can’t spend right now I believe) from Hope’s Peak itself: Why is Hopes Peak giving us money when they could instead just be flying us out to their academy?”

"And what of the people? This airport is extremely popular amongst those in higher social circles, and yet in our entire week here, I haven’t seen anybody who wasn’t a student. Am I expected to believe that Hope’s Peak was preparing for a crisis so great that they rented a whole airport for it? No, not even the whole airport, there are still places we can’t go! Does anyone have a problem with my theories?"

With that the magician turned away from the bear, giving all the students a challenging look of curiosity. Did anyone really want try and defend this bear and his ridiculous killing prank? It was all so mind-numbingly stupid, trying to get people to murder each other. Who would ever do such a thing?

[Prologue] Too L8 To Make a Run for It

"By the way, if you’re talented like me, you might have picked up on the fact that I was using super rad air quotes around the word ‘punished.’"

"Well, in simple terms… to be punished is to be executed! Yep, a good ol’ fashioned death but with a modern twist by yours truly! They’ll be the funnest part to watch, so use that as more of a motive to go and have those ‘gnarly’ school trials happen sooner!"

"Also, I’m not fussy about the method you use to kill. There’s the classics, like beating, slashing, strangling, and poisoning for starters, but there’s a lot more cooler ones too! Keep me interested with how creative you can get with these, and I might make it worth your while! Maybe. After all, you are free to choose whatever method takes your fancy. But eh, after all this time, you might be thinkin’-- ‘Why don’t I just kill Monobear?’"

"Oh! How you wound me! I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals…"

"Oops! Wrong monologue. Wouldn’t want to be caught up in THAT long winded soliloquy."

"Sadly, I cannot hold the stage for too long or else my fans might be seeing too much of me. That’s why I’ve sent you all a list of rules to those phones of yours. Yeah, even I have one of those babies. Don’t worry-- Monobear won’t be making any obscene phone calls to you. The surveys say that heroes who value chastity are selling like hot cakes!"

"Take a look at those rules carefully later, or you might find out you’ll regret it. Upupupu… Take care, and enjoy your new life here in this airport! Now, I’ve got me a ball pit to enjoy."

And then, he was gone. If you were one of those kids that liked to blink at unfortunate times, it would have been as if he had vanished into thin air! Left with his one-sided speech burned into your mind, you were suddenly left to do what your heart desired.

...But what did it desire? And for that matter, what did the others’ wish for? Only time could tell, and suddenly you weren’t all too excited to see what fate had in store for you.

[Prologue] Seven Wonders of Murder

"If you want to leave this airport, please kill your friends! And then, please overcome the “school trial” successfully!"

"See? I even asked you politely. It’s an offer you just can’t refuse!"

"Now, in case murder occurs between you bastards… The survivors must participate in a school trial. The school trial is a face off between the “culprit” who murdered and the other, “innocent”, students."

"During the school trial, you will try to deduce who the culprit is, and then vote on who to accuse. If you figure it out, and vote correctly, the culprit will be “punished,” and the rest of you will continue lazying about this airport."

"But, if the culprit successfully tricks you bastards into accusing the wrong person… Then the culprit gets to leave! And the rest of you will be “punished” instead!"

"...Or rather, that was my game plan. It turns out high-schoolers are a lot worse at cracking cases than I thought. It’d be pretty sad if this show ended so soon, right?"

"So I’ll be a little more generous! Instead, we just "punish" the poor unfortunate soul you guys wanted to see put on the bus so much! Gwahahaha!!"

"Don’t think the killer doesn’t get any cool benefits out of escaping judgement though! I mean, that’s some hard work! So, they get to live another day. Hopefully, they’ll murder again, because if you kill three times and get away with it, then you’ve hit the jackpot and are crowned the super duper winner! Then you get out, and you can bid farewell to the suckers left behind. What a prize!"

"These are the rules of the school trial! In other words, anyone who kills and successfully hides their guilt three times will be able to leave this airport. But, if they cannot overcome the school trial, they will be “punished”... This counts for anyone the majority of you vote for!"

"Upupu, they’re the usual rules but just modified for your convenience, so it’s easy to grasp, isn’t it?"

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Prologue] A Hexa Lot Worse

"Good thing I can make a warm batch of grade-A, luxurious rules, because that means I can introduce a much better goal than helping you all become friends."

"You see, I was going to raise the stakes and change our genre from slice-of-life to suspense and drama! Ooooh, doesn’t that just make you tingle with excitement?"

"Now, if I were you, I’d be itching to get out of here. I mean, who would want to hang out with all of you nerds?"

"Well, as your benevolent ex-pilot, I figured I’d give you an opportunity. See, I can’t just let you out scot-free. We already went over that! So, I’m introducing a new story arc!"

"Welcome to your new 'Airport Life of Mutual Killing!'”

"It’s not the coolest of names, but not every pilot episode starts off grand. Trust me, everyone’s going to love it whenever we air!"

"Luckily for you, you bastards are all the lead roles! What a promising career with a great show concept!"

"For you eggs that just hatched five minutes ago, I’ll make everything real clear with a quick synopsis!"

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Prologue] Re/pent/!

"You know that grand entrance you all were so eager to bust through when you got here? Well, that’s all it was-- an entrance!"

"As your new overseer, I’ve taken the liberty of sealing it shut! You can try all you want, but that thing ain’t budging anytime soon! Trust me, I threw quite a few test dummies at it! Including…"

Motioning over to the computer screen fixed on the desk, your eyes glance over as they are naturally guided that way. Huh, when was that thing even facing this way?

With a tap, a picture appears on the screen. It appears to be… Usami?!! Except, she looked a little different. With tears streaming down her face, she was much more similar to Monobear in appearance what with the dual-color look of white and pink and the single red eye.

"You remember that old, drab face that introduced herself as ‘Flying Magical Girl Miracle ★ Usami’? Well, turns out that viewers don’t really buy into that whole business anymore. So, I tweaked her character a bit to appeal to a wider audience!"

"Meet your brand new flight attendant, Monomi! Doesn’t she look so much more stellar now? No need to praise me, I already know how great of a job I did! Hold the applause!"

"Also, she wasn’t so great as that mysterious exposition fairy, so I booted her out of that spot! Yep! She’s now locked up in gay baby jail… for babies."

"Shiawase Airlines is now MY palace, but hey-- I’ll let you all stay here. Heck, rent here for you bastards is free too! Isn’t that nice? Bears are you best friends, you know."

"Yeah, I’m so kind, I’ll let you stay here forever! ‘Wow! Monobear-dono, how compassionate of you! I’ll rain you with these free chocolates that boring Monomi gave me! Here! Have them!’"

"Wow, I might be warming up to you! Keep this up, and you might even get to see my cool ball pit! Only one hour for each guest though. Sorry! I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them."

"Oh wait! I totally can! How forgetful of me. You know, ditzy and clumsy heroines are the biggest fad nowadays? I’ve been trying to give it a shot, but it just isn’t me. Drats."

There was a massive uproar, but the bear continued to speak over all of you and eventually the chattering was forced to die down.
