Summary: With all the disturbances out of the way, the school field trip can finally begin!
Warnings: Life threatening situations.

Early in the morning at about six o'clock, Monobear rushes across the dorm floors and bangs at the doors of his students. With a bat. A principal, after all, is in charge of making sure his students keep up with the assigned schedule. "Good morning!" he shouts, "It's time for our long-awaited field triiiip!"

Should they open their door, they'll find that the bear is gone, presumably to awaken other students. As the itinerary slipped under their door a while ago states, students will be meeting in the first floor and joining with one another in the cafeteria.

[Cafeteria, 7:30 AM]

Monobear hasn't shown up yet. Consider this a last minute planning phase. When Monobear returns, the school trip truly begins.

[Floor Six, 8:30 AM]

The walk begins and Monobear leads the group into the sixth floor. The forest is as it was except... something smells a little sweeter. In fact, if you examine closely, jam is smeared all over tree barks and floors. And, hey... Are those slabs of raw beef and frog sashimi scattered around on the grass? It'll be hard not to step on some of them.

"Alright, you bastards! Today's youth doesn't appreciate nature enough. Your generation would rather spend hours watching tv in the dark than go outside and bask in the rays of Vitamin D. You can help the forests first by learning how to appreciate it! And I'm a bear. I know what I'm talking about.

We bears just love nature. And if you love nature, nature will love you back. You can split yourselves up into groups, but you have until an hour to reach the end! If you don't... If you don't, then..."

He looks down, shaking a little as his red eye blinks. Looking up, suddenly more cheerful, he says, "We'll just have to leave without you!"

[Floor 10: 10 AM]

Ahh, the tenth floor, the floor of the glassless aquarium. Time now for a swim! Monobear stands wearing, well... nothing. As usual. He's going skinny dipping today. He stands, almost expectantly, waiting for others to dress in their swimsuits too.

"As you know, swimsuits were mandatory! Erm... Did you bring yours with you, Maizono, Enoshima, Kirigiri?"

[Floor 32: 12 PM]

"... Oh, this is actually a little embarrassing. In fact, it's so embarrassing that I don't think my little heart can take it..." As they reach the floating island, Monobear looks down at the ground and puts his little foot out. He looks ashamed, but it's hard to figure out exactly why. He continues speaking.

"We're supposed to have a picnic here, but I... I ate the picnic basket this morning! Uwaaah... But... But don't worry, we won't go hungry! In fact, in fact we can just..."

Is it just me or did his smile actually stretch?

"We can always find some ourselves."

[Floor 25: 2 PM]

A completely innocent floor. All it is is just a meadow. The itinerary says that this part of the field trip is meant for "class appreciation", but what does that mean? ... In fact, as you came down to this floor, Monobear seems to have disappeared. Just where could he have gone? There's really no other place to hide. No trees or anything of the such unless he has the power to shrink had hide behind flowers. No. It seems you were taken here for no reason whatsoever beyond... "class appreciation".

And there's nobody to ask what it even means.

So... go on and appreciate the class. I guess.

[Floor One: 3 PM]

Will come later.

Cafeteria

[disbear]

[superlvldots]

Kirigiri won't waste any chance there is to prepare. Unlike her time in Hope's Peak, it's in her best interest to be accounted for at all times during this project Monobear is conducting.

Which doesn't stop her from hoping other people will show up. Otherwise, she may very well leave, depending on whether the chances of reaching the end of the day are too insubstantial. Still, if there is enough of a chance to find the answers she wants... then she'll take it. She has an obligation to do so.

Kirigiri feels relatively safe in this environment, given the public nature of the cafeteria, but she knows the day will rapidly bring more overt threats. Even with the schedule hidden within her jacket, or the research conducted into the relevant floors, she's not sure she's prepared for what's to come. Monobear has a habit of changing the circumstances of a situation at the worst moment.

Re: Cafeteria

[worldrestored]

[As per the rules of whatever Monobear had decided, he'd come as one of the friends to one of the students.

...and he still wore no shirt but he did have a track and field towel around his elbows. Naoki glanced the students, wondering just how they ended up being connected to this tiny little strange teddie terror.]

[mustlovedogs]

[As much as he hates to go along with whatever Monobear has planned, Mondo was made more than a little curious by whatever was at the end. He gets to the cafeteria a little late and pulls a chair out to sit and wait.

Definitely none too excited.]

[tsunball]

[ This one here is probably chronologically last, since.. well, it's Leon, as if he would take his time to hurry, especially to something like this. He's already dreading it - a heavy feeling in the pit of his stomach and he's dragging his feet as he enters the cafeteria. Not that he looks really good either way, he looks pretty tired and maybe even annoyed (although the last one doesn't show as much) from being woken up early. He's just going to flop on a chair and drop his head on a table as he walks in, okay, let him sleep a little longer.. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

[Naegi's just standing there, looking all nervous. This was exactly how they started the day back home. Meeting in the cafeteria to discuss past events or any leads. As well as some other things. In any case, his totally nervous look is what everyone's going to see the moment they enter the café]

O-oh, hi!

[intuitions]

[Maizono looks far calmer than she actually feels, which is a given. The corners of her eyes are a little red (from crying) and there are the faint beginnings of dark circles beneath them (from a general lack of sleep) but on the whole, Maizono seems on the level.

Wherever she sits, it won't be near Leon.]

Cafeteria

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro is just going to stand in the corner here silently and nervously. Meeting in the cafeteria like that surely gives him a sense of deja vu...]

Nature Walk

[disbear]

[superlvldots]

. . .

[Just like Monobear to set up the perfect conditions for danger without getting his hands dirty himself. With the odor of food permeating this area, they are bound to come across dangerous creatures if they're not careful.]

[...This situation can be rectified. In an unusually overt display of activity, Kirigiri leaves the group once they are given their instructions, intending to get far enough as to not be heard by Monobear. Of course, it would be infinitely more suspicious if she actually asked to be followed. If she's lucky, she'll be accompanied the rest of the group. She's not looking forward to seeing any of them get hurt.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Something the matter?

[And a voice pops up from behind her. He had noticed when a familiar face disappeared from the group that's already walking elsewhere, and decided to accompany her. Not that Kirigiri can handle these problems herself, but he's just worried for her...!]

Swimming

[disbear]

[tsunball]

[ .. okay, this might be the only vaguely worthwhile thing in the whole stupid trip. Don't mind him, he'll just be g l a n c i n g in the direction of the girls (although quite obviously avoiding eye contact with Maizono), sort of expectantly.. ]

[intuitions]

[And she'll be studiously avoiding eye contact with him as well!! Not that she even brought a swimswuit - she never got a conscious choice in the matter, or else that bloody knife certainly wouldn't have been in her trunk. But putting that morbid thought aside for the moment, Maizono finds herself genuinely curious about the phenomenon this room holds.]

You know....that's pretty amazing, how the water can just stay suspended like that.

[She says this quietly, as if to no one in particular, and reaches out to put her hand into the water.]

Swimming

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro is just going to look for a place to hide and hope no one notices him. No way is he putting on a swimsuit! No way!]

[mustlovedogs]

[And guess who's noticed and is going to be his personal bodyguard. LOOKING AT YOU, LEON. He goes over, takes off his coat and just sort of...drops it on Chihiro. The perfect disguise.]

[yougotthatwrong]

[HOPEFULLY He doesn't have to do anything here, but those fishes do look a bit scarier than what he remembered. He's not really here for the swimsuit, like Leon (that perverted idiot), so he's going to just walk around the Aquarium, probably marveling at the floating water and other things.]

Picnic

[disbear]

[mustlovedogs]

You think that's gonna make us scared? We already did that fucking all last month! 'Sides, since when do robots eat?!

[Clearly this is what he has to get worked up about. By this point in the trip he's about ready to snap at anything.]

[tsunball]

[ DEFINITELY not standing on the same side of the group as Mondo (he feels too much like that guy might just punch the closest person to him sooner or later at this rate), but he decides to add in something to the conversation all the same, even if it lacks his usual energy a little after this whole exhausting thing. ]

There's probably just another trick to it, isn't there..?

Class Appreciation

[disbear]

[intuitions]

[Maizono sits on the grass, gazing around at the meadow that enfolds this floor. Monobear had disappeared for now, and while that made her nervous, it was also something of a relief. It's quiet here, peaceful, and Maizono is very tired. So with the same small, polite smile on her face, she lets herself fall backwards until she's spread out on the ground.

Yet she never looks ungainly or awkward, not even for a moment, and soon enough she closes her eyes as if to sleep. Not that she actually does....still, it's nice to be able to shut the world out for a little while. The others are here - maybe they'll think her strange for doing this - but for now, Maizono is too exhausted to care.]

[tsunball]

[ .. This is.. way confusing.. at this point he hardly gets anything anymore after a day like this, he's more just blearily frowning to himself to try and figure out what's going on, but nope, his brains don't manage to come up with anything in particular-- so he just ends up looking really dumb instead.

He just decides to give up for a moment though and just enjoy that bear being gone for a moment or two. He does notice Maizono dropping herself backwards (on the other side of the group, practically), but he doesn't exactly speak up about it since.. well, everything is still super awkward. Instead he just groans, rubbing his head with one hand lazily or tiredly. ]

So what's supposed to be up with this..? [ asking it to nobody in particular, just.. the group.. in general.. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

[Compared to the others, Naegi's definitely looking tired and worn out, either from the stress of this day, or the time he spent all night worrying about what's going to happen today or the both of them. In any case, Naegi's going to just. Lie down and look up to the ceiling. It's not like he's being introverted or anything, but he's just tired.

Tired of being in the dark, tired of being playing around and just-

...There's a sigh as he closed his eyes. Perhaps a nap would clear him of this tiredness.

Or maybe you guys can disturb him.]

[worldrestored]

[W O W someone fell asleep on their giant monster lion-dog. Kinda rude.]
