Danganronpa: Prospective Despair

Astrea of the Stars 03-Nov-21 10:44 PM

A bullet train. Coming in from the tennis court, you're immediately meeting from what seems to be a underground subway platform. It's made out of dark steel and has standard (dull) lighting, and there are markings and the like to tell you where not to be when the train comes in (via rails, of course). The train itself is a work of beauty. It looks like your standard bullet train - a slick white outside, with curves and smooth edges to help out with aerodynamics. When the train comes in, a little automated announcement telling you to 'mind the gap' plays as the doors open, allowing you to come in and out. The inside of it is more... standard, with it having more than enough seats to hold everyone, though that's about all there is to note. ...is this the true train, rather than the fake one at #bullet-train?

"You know, whatever's going on there, I hope they didn't destroy the whole place. It would be a pain to clean up, heh." ...the train doors open. "Eh, won't hold them accountable if they do. Now let's see here..."

"The door's locked. Well, I got the key..." ... "And opened. Easy enough."

A boy in a wheelchair starts rolling up to Jake, a tablet screen in his hands, turning it to Jake as it turns on.

Shion BOT 21-Nov-21 04:43 PM

"AI-36's been contained and saved! Should be able to get it back to the tech people when we get back, now!"

Yoshiro Mizuno BOT 21-Nov-21 04:44 PM

After which, he rolls back to let everyone in, staring at them from inside.

His wheelchair moves as everyone gets in to let them move around easily, holding the tablet hosting the AI within it to look at everyone else.

Shion BOT 21-Nov-21 04:51 PM

"Aaaaaall aboaaaard!"

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 04:51 PM

Jack looked at the others, watching Talia get handcuffed was... oddly satisfying. Sorry Talia, he still remembers the part you played, despite ya know, freeing them in the end. He leans back in his seat as he takes everything in.. they finally escaped.. drake is dead.. and now.. He sniffs, finally letting out a smile. "Everyone can rest in peace now... right?"

Josh BOT 21-Nov-21 04:51 PM

Josh is on the train “Y-yeah....bro I’m still tripping slightly...this is all happening so fast bros I’m still freaking out...”

...Uncertainly enters train. "I really don't like this..." They stand there anyway.

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 04:52 PM

"Hah.. y-yeah.. i'm still shaking but.. we did it."

Actually, second thought, Rui disappears back into the bunker. Bye.

Already gone.

"I mean fine, I guess, but the next train that's coming here ain't gonna be for a while, right?"

｢Codex Lemegeton｣ BOT 21-Nov-21 04:54 PM

"... Farewell, Rui Kaida." It seems that some have made up their mind.

Miki Sunada BOT 21-Nov-21 04:55 PM

"Well- Um... Yeah. I'm still pretty scared about all of this... What if this all some dumb thing that's just taking us somewhere to continue the game?"

Jake Cobb BOT 21-Nov-21 04:55 PM

"Yeah. Poor kid. Anyways, let's just get moving."

The train doors close, and the train starts moving slowly. It doesn't throw you around this time.

He turns his wheelchair so the AI can face Josh.

Shion BOT 21-Nov-21 04:57 PM

"Oh! We're just bringing him back so the tech people can get all the stuff out of him and get 'em back to normal!"

｢Codex Lemegeton｣ BOT 21-Nov-21 04:57 PM

Codex thinks about the world passing by and those who have passed on, each name engraved into their mind. "To where... are we going, exactly?"

Jake Cobb BOT 21-Nov-21 04:58 PM

"The other bunker. Everyone alive will be there, and I know some of your loved ones are waiting for you." He didn't sound like he was lying.

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 04:58 PM

And finally, the 'tomorrow'. Masami reflects on her last moments, this bizarre nightmare she had been in for God knows how long. Months? She doesn't know. This all feels like a drought, a year without rain. And when the cloudy weather came around to haunt her, Masami realises that maybe the rain won't come-- only to be proven wrong again. The rain did come, and it can't be any more bittersweet. As she sits down on this train, it feels as if for the first time in forever, she doesn't dread what's coming next. The weights are gone but... she still realises something. She had her dreams taken away mercilessly, she was lied to, she was pushed down and forced to grow downwards and yet-- downwards she never grew. This is exhausting. Her eyes tear up and they stream down, with moments of her life flashing randomly. The isolation, the pain, the struggle... but also the love, the fondness, the promise of being alive together. First arriving here, she was scared, afraid and alone. But why did people comfort her? They aren't like The Masami Okumura. Loud... Childish... Rude... Apathetic. Masami is better than them. Why is Josh treating her so well? Why is Fusanosuke showing interest in her friendship? Why is Zoë like a sister to her? Why is Chunyu showing change and growth? Why is Haru protecting her innocence? Maybe they're better than Masami Okumura. Why are they shedding tears? Why are they breaking promises? Why are they leaving Masami behind to go to God knows where life after death resides? Why does she feel... the need to hold them close? Why is Masami Okumura emotional and happy when she thinks about them? Masami's shy gaze turns from the window and faces those who are still alive. Right. They've shown her compassion, trust... love. Masami smiles at every single on of their faces, silently having her tears run through her soft skin that has been jagged from the disaster and distress Drake has put he throw. Masami clenches the fan she held.

Cronchy 21-Nov-21 04:58 PM

(im really regretting having haru dissociate at the sight of dead people

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 04:58 PM

This fan, is no longer a shell to protect her. This fan is something she holds so close to her heart. It has been through a lot- it was belittled, it was pressured, it was broken. But... She smiles at it. She can fix it. She has to. She understands the struggle that is yet to come, but she accepts it. She sighs as she senses the clouds slowly dispersing, and the sun melting the snow that she has learned to hate. Masami is hopeful.

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 04:59 PM

Jack looked up, yeah it was just a train ceiling but.. beyond that was the sky he and her adored together. Whether she was there or not... she'd want him alive yeah..? When he heard Jake mention they'd be there.. there was indeed a chance... He felt himself crying, and he looked down. "Ah.. hah.. sorry I just.. I-I'm.." He put his face in his hands.

??? BOT 21-Nov-21 04:59 PM

And so it ends.

Japan is gone. Furistan is gone. They can't do anything any more.

Drake is dead. Talia is under arrest, to serve the rest of her life in prison. And she doesn't have a reason to even want to escape. (edited)

...the originators of the Killing Games are taken care of.

But now's not the time to celebrate.

Now's the time to remember... Minestrone, Jaye, Blake. North, Ema, Goru. Chunyu, Karen, Chichi. And many more.

8

The games are gone. There's nothing more to write.

You're free! Go relax! Take a break! You've earned it.

This is the end of their story... ...may they rise again.

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 05:08 PM

Jack finally got his tears under some control after a while.. ah.. how nervous he was about this.. would she be there, or would she not..? Would his family be there.. or would they not..? He didn't know, but at the same time.. he had accepted that they'd want him to live, even if they didn't. He was going to keep going forward with his head up high, as a Barista, he's been serving and caring for others for so long.. he needs to take care of himself now too. He glanced around the train.. everyone except Rui was seated and waiting just like he was.. he didn't know what to say.. surely they were all just as drained as he was.. He held his hand up to Mist, who came down and landed on it, patting the bird gently on the head. They did it, they're going to a place they can call home..

-AC24 ☆- 21-Nov-21 05:08 PM

//Jack too

｢Codex Lemegeton｣ BOT 21-Nov-21 05:10 PM

The adrenaline's long since faded. The train looks much emptier than it should be. Codex is so, so tired, and for once they're not wearing their usual chipper smile, but rather a softer and more genuine one. "... Oh dear. Codex Lemegeton really did call ××××× ×××××× a 'Cringe-Ass Nae Nae Baby'." They're also having some unfortunate revelations. It's easier to focus on those than... other occurrences. The names have been separated from the body, ready to be used again. Codex mutters them, one after another in a slow cycle, feeling the syllables and letters on their tongue. These are the people that they will remember.

Josh BOT 21-Nov-21 05:11 PM

“We uh....we survived it then bro? Fuck dude....it’s weird....that’s it?”

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 05:12 PM

Jack laughed lightly at Codex, something lighthearted.. that was great. "Hah.. you sure did.." He glanced to Josh, nodding. "Yeah.. that's.. that's it."

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 05:13 PM

Masami's heels are next to her.

Cronchy 21-Nov-21 05:13 PM

Haru eventually sat down and buried her head in her knees, crushing her Santa by squeezing him really, really tightly. God, her heart felt like it was going to explode. All her insides were shaking around. They thought they might pass out. Or throw up. Or both. Not knowing who would be in that bunker- it was killing her. Why the hell was this the worst part of the killing game? Or at least on par with the worst parts? It was meant to be over. This isn't how someone who's finally free should feel. How selfish must you be to feel this way at a point so many people never reached? Someone else should be sitting here. Feeling grateful to be finally out. But Haru just wished they'd stayed behind, too. Maybe just stay curled up in their fort... Oh, how nice the fort would be right now... Dark, small, cosy... Haru shut her eyes as tightly as she could and tried to trick her brain into putting her back in the fort. She felt a bit better now...

Josh BOT 21-Nov-21 05:14 PM

Josh would look at Masami and Haru and smile. He was thankful his best friends had survived “Hey Masami...guess I gotta wear that maid costume now huh...”

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 05:14 PM

Jack looked bewildered at that statement, raising an eyebrow.. he looked like he wanted to laugh a bit too. "Maid costume?? What kind of bet did you lose?"

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 05:15 PM

Masami smiles at him. Her bows are undone and next to her, too. She moves the hair blocking her left eye behind her ear.

"It's... a long story."

Oh also she's a sobbing mess.

Curds 21-Nov-21 05:16 PM

[ERROR] felt... oddly happy. happier than they had felt in a long long while. Sure, the world was kind of. you know. But ey didn't really mind. Not in a way of like- 'oh i hate everyone they can die'. more like. Ey had found peace. And a friend. Someone ey could be sure would never hurt them or betray them or try and get a slice of their fame. It was nice.

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 05:20 PM

"Oh.. hey uh.." He dug around the bag he had brought, pulling out some napkins. "Here- they're clean I swear.. I just brought them in case I needed them for extra cleaning or something.. Birds are messy and all.." He held out the tissue to Masami.

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 05:21 PM

"...Are you handing me the tissues reserved to clea- clean your bird?"

Masami pointed out as she took the napkins to wipe her tears.

Jack Rylie BOT 21-Nov-21 05:26 PM

"Yeah.. uh sorry.. it's all I had.. they're clean honest! They've been unused.. grabbed a new batch for the bag.. and tucked them in a clean spot-" He laughed lightly, knowing that was a bit odd.

Masami Okumura BOT 21-Nov-21 05:33 PM

Masami laughs through her tears.
