Elliot glanced at the final three people she mandatorily to meet. 

A fat, short teen boy with an bowl haircut and grayish suit. A lanky, tanned boy with a fluffy white roaring twenties shawl, going topless and black jeans and boots, with wild raspberry hair. Finally, a girl with short orange hair, a simple white blouse and simple creme slacks, and creme colored flats.

So... normal. Well, kinda.

Elliot decided to go with the weirder one (the topless boy), just get the weird out of the way. "Erm, hello."

The boy flipped a messy raspberry lock out of his left eye. "Greetings, my future canvass! I am Yoshiki Furamenko."

Yoshiki Furamenko, Super High School Level Artist.

"... your Future canvass...?" Please tell he's not pevert...

Yoshiki gave a smirk. "As an artist, I want to make others be successful and beautiful... almost like a painting. I believe that everyone is a painting waiting for an artist, okay?"

Oh.

Yoshiki placed his left hand under his chin. "Of course, I believe everyone deep down is an artist."

"Well, I'll let you 'paint me' later." Oh my god, that sounded so creepy...

Elliot then went to the girl with orange bob haircut. "Hi, you must already know this, but I'm Elliot Keith. So you must be...?"

"... Ayameko Yayashi." She coldly responded.

Ayameko Yayashi, Super High School Level Architect.

"Oh, aren't you that girl who helped the rebuilding the Alexandria Library*?"

"..." Ayameko silently responded. 

She's talkative...

Elliot decided to not having an awkward moment Ayameko, went to the last student she had to meet.

The person was the short fat male with gray suit and hair. "Hello, you must be...?"

"Greetings," The boy said, his voice cracking. "I am Albert Tatabana. I hope I have positive friendship with you!"

Albert Tatabana, Super High School Level Mathematician. 

"I do as well!" Unless he's a weirdo... that may beg to differ.

Albert gave a catlike smile. "Ah, of course! It seems like I have met a like minded individual."

"Heh, I like mind-"

Elliot was cut off when a loud BZZT played over the intercom. An intercom was something Elliot now have just noticed. The BZZT had caused the whole group went quiet. 

"Hello? Huh-llo? Is this thing on?" A weird, fluffy voiced rang. "Ehem, this is your headmaster. You fucks have been taking way to damn long to get to the main hall! I am waiting..."

  🍙🍙🍙🍙FANGAN FONPA!🍙🍙🍙🍙  

Walking to the main hall didn't take long (Albert suggested it took about twenty minuets), but everyone acted like a bunch of primary school kids. Elliot stayed close to Hijime, who was talking to Kohaku.

"-Wait, so you're saying your a giant nerd of Mahou Shojo* anime?" Hijime said, eyes glittering.

"Of course! I only like Sailor Moon though..."

Sailor Moon? Doesn't like, one of my Aunts the love shit out of that show?

"Oh... er, well... I recommend Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha* and Puella Magi Madoka Magica*, if you interested."

"Ohohoho! I'll try that out later on my phone! Wait! Let me-"

Ugh... He looks like a perverted boy... but he's so damn cute! Why must-

Of course, both Elliot's train of though and Kohaku's line of dialogue was cut of by a loud noise, and the realization that the giant group was at the fabled, mythic main hall.

The noise was a cartoon esque boing!, which directed everyone eyes to a large yellow podium. What bounced up(or would it be 'boinged up'...?) was a short monochrome teddy bear, with a silted red right eye and left black dot eye, and half demented smirk and a cute cat smile.

"Huh-llllooooo everyone! I am your headmaster, MONOKUMA!!"

Mono "Monokuma" Kuma, Super Head Master Level Literally A Bear.

"... that's our headmaster? But... but you're a teddy bear... that doesn't make sense!" Elliot blurted.

"I am not a teddy bear." Monokuma threatened, retracting three large sharp claws from a white paw.

Elliot yelped, clearly being brought down peg. Of course, about one peg.

"I am, like I said, Monokuma -- you're very own headmaster. And I have a very, very despairing thing to reveal to you, my cubs!"

Awkward silence.

"...What...?" Elliot heard Yui's breathy voice ask.

"Oh! So brave... well, I am going to break it to y'all...... you are all trapped down here in the catacombs of Hope's Peak Academy!"

Silence -- deadly silent. The absolute deadliest of silences. 

"........ However, there is one way to escape these catacombs. Upupupupup... listen, you kids are going to be in my favorite type of game. A killing game! Didja know I've had three of these games already?"

"Wuh-what! That is not okay!" Yige said loudly. "We aren't just cattle you kill! Whoever you are-- you're a complete sicko!"

"Upupupup.... that big words for a big girl. I'll let this slide, but if you ever talk back again, missie, you're minced meat! Anyways, I'll go over the rules. Of course... Elliot, you're parents have already told you these."

"What? No they haven't."

Monokuma gave a unhappy smile. "Oh... now that's just sad! Anyways 2x..."

"The game is like this: you are able to kill up to two people, and no one is meant to find out. If one does find out in the trial, you are executed. If no one finds you out, everyone else is executed, and you alone are aloud to leave the catacombs! Now... doesn't that all sound fun?"

"...Thee disagrees immensely. Thee is also not sorry."

"Upupupupup... Now, my cubs, I'll give y'all motive tomorrow night! Now... have a despairing time with the new, spanking clean 'Killing Underground Fiesta'!"

'Killing Underground Fiesta'? God, who came up with that!? 'Killing School Trip' sounds better than that!

"Now," Monokuma continued, "Return to your rooms until further notice."
