towerofanimus | ♬ 001. Make heaven, heaven out of hell now.

Characters: Sayaka Maizono and you, you, youuuu~
Setting: First wandering in the dorms, then Cafeteria and Floor 14.
Format: Delicious actionspam, but I can match.
Summary: +1 idol girl freaking out at all the freaky things here, and thinking she ended up in hell or something.
Warnings: Mentions of death, some Dangan Ronpa spoilers probably.

[ Dorm 1-05, then the rest of the floor. ]

[ Tic... tic... tic...

Such an annoying noise... stop it... s-stop...

... where... what the hell is it? It sounds like a... a heartbeat. Coming from within... her chest? ]

Ahh...!

[ Sayaka opens her eyes abruptly, gasping as if she just woke up from a nightmare. This ceiling... it's not the bathroom. She's laying on top of something soft... a mattress? ]

... [ She's expected her body to hurt more than this, or rather... she thought that knife stuck in her chest eventually killed her, but as she moves her hand to feel around that area, she notes with shock that... there's nothing there. She sits up abruptly, patting her chest frantically, there's no pain, no pain at all... and no knife stuck in her. There's something uncomfortably wrapped around her neck- is this a collar? Wh-what...

Finding the two letters next to her, she's moved by the urge to open them and read.

... ]

... My world is destroyed?! [ She finds herself yelping. What- what kind of sick joke is this? That can't be possible, she was there before she... died? Passed out? No, she's sure her heart stopped before her brain shut out. But then, why did she wake up without a wound in her body? She can't read the rest of the letters, discarding them to the side for now, those words stuck in her head. This is all... so ridicolous... the school, her career, her idol group, her fans... everyone...

Her thoughts then wander to a specific person, but she quickly chases them away before they can affect her more than she is already. There's no way he and her other classmates could be here, right? She's the one who died, not them.

...

After the initial panic attack, Sayaka takes some sweet time scanning the surroundings. Four beds, bedside tables, nothing else catches her attention- ah... except, the chest under her bed. She pulls it out, examining it for a while- until she decides not to open it yet. With how confused she is, opening a strange chest out of nowhere sounded like a real bad idea in her head. First, she must know what on earth is going on. Is this a dream? It feels like one, doesn't it?

Some time later, she decides to bite the bullet and peek outside of her room, before getting to wander through the floor in search of someone who can help her understand... whatever there is to understand. ]

[ Cafeteria ]

[ Sayaka was already worn out from the shock and stress of suddenly waking up, revived after dying miserably, and then being faced with discovery after discovery that surely did no good to her poor heart... but she decided to at least explore a little through the stairway to give herself an idea of where she was thrown in, after a kind soul pointed her to the stairs. Needless to say, she regretted the decision quickly. Without looking back, out of fear and survivor instict, she managed to descend all the way down to the first floor, where a cafeteria was in sight.

She almost wobbles her way in, sitting at the first table she finds, practically draping herself over it, hiding her face in her arms. The poor girl doesn't have the time to cry at her own misery, that she finds a dish with... something less than inviting appearing in front of her. This is food, right?

... Taste be damned, she's going to gulp that thing called oatmeal down. Eugh. At least it's going to fill her stomach for the day. ]

[ Floor 14 ]

[ Once she calms down enough, Sayaka decides to explore each floor thoroughly... at least the ones that don't give her feelings of dread. The surroundings of this floor surprise her in a vaguely pleasant way, although she's still pretty wary of everything. She'll poke around, eventually finding some of the music she can recognize from her own world. Relaxing needs to be a thing that happens, she cried enough today... and so, she's found sitting down on one of the couches, eyes closed as she lets herself get lulled by the song in the earphones.

Hell has its own pleasantries, at the very least. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

... [ There's no way she's going to those dangerous floors unless she's got a death wish- though she's not that far from having one, since her only reason to live is gone forever. ]

I'm going to keep it in mind for when I return to the dormitories. Thank you, miss- er... [ Right. Introductions. ] I'm Sayaka Maizono, may I know your name?

I'm Rei! Nice to meet you, Sayaka.

Nice to meet you too, Rei-san. [ Timid smile. ] So, can you give me some tips about this place? Since I'm new, and I'm still kinda lost.

Sure. Let's see...the cafeteria gives you all the food, so eat as much as you can. Stay in the dorms at night if you don't wanna see the monsters. Sometimes we have fun games, but their consequences are bad if you fail. Like on Halloween, I got turned into a catgirl. Also, me and Tohko made a bunch of mailboxes that we put up on all the floors. If you ever need any help with the boy you love, you can drop us a letter!

[ Games that can end badly if you fail... yeah, no, not getting into that. She may have lost a reason to live, but she's not that much seeking to get hurt. ]

I see...

[ And then she has a double-take when Rei mentioned the "boy you love". ] I don't think I need love advice, but thank you for the information.

It was a candy gathering game, but if you didn't get enough candy, your costume killed you and then you came back all mixed with the costume. It wasn't that bad, except for the fact that I couldn't talk.

[Rei nods.]

Well, drop us a letter if you ever do.

...

[ Y... eah... definitely never getting into these games... she's pretty horrified. And this girl says it isn't bad... she gulps heavily. ]

Do things like that happen... often, in here?

I think so. I've only been here a month, so I've only played one game. But I think there's been other games too.

Other games, huh...

[ A chill runs down her spine. ]

You said that the costume killed you? ... W-why are you alive now, then?

This place brings people back. But I guess if I really wanted to, I could've regenerated. Though my entire chest and abdomen were crushed and I've never tried regenerating so much before...

[ Too Much Info... she grimaces quite a bit. ]

You mean people can be revived that easily? [ Wondering aloud. ] What... kind of place is this?

A really fun one. I know people say the guys who design the games are mean, but wouldn't it make them really mad if we all had fun instead of complaining?

I don't think I can agree with that.

[ She's not that messed up to think this would be a fun experience... ]

Maybe you'll agree after you try? I'll even show you the weak spots to hit.

... No, thanks. Thank you for offering, though. [ Not... really. ]

Okay, then. The offer's still open, though.

[By that she means if there's a monster in the vicinity, you're probably gonna be helping her finish it off whether you want to or not.]

[ If that ever happens, she's going to make a mental note to never hang out with this girl again... sob. ]

... I'll think about it. [ No, she won't. ]

You can bring your friends too. We can all kill the monster together.

... M-maybe...

[ Nope nope nope nope nope. She's losing her appetite- not like she had any of it before. ]

[She gives Sayaka a thumbs up.]

If you ever need me, I'm in room 3-15. But be careful if I leave any taxidermy projects lying around the door.

...

I'll keep it in mind, Rei-san. [ She kind of regrets talking to her, sob. ]

[Unfortunately, that's the reaction of all too many people.]

What room do you live in, Sayaka? Maybe I'll go visit you too someday.

... Room 1-05, first floor of the dorms I think. [ Very reclutantly. ]

I guess that means you can't jump down the stairs first thing in the morning.

... I suppose so? [ yeah she got nothing. ]
