//------------------------------// // Day 1: Chapter 2 // Story: Dangan RomPonya // by Serenade-Stereo //------------------------------// Serenade slowly awoke from the blow to his face that knocked him out. He was in an infirmary. Which meant... "O-oh! Y-you're a-awake!" The light blue unicorn he met in the gym hall. He never actually. "Oh...hi...sorry, I don't think I caught your name" She instantly look ready to cry "I...I'm sorry! I forgot!" He raised an eyebrow at the girl's apologetic attitude. "It's B...B Positive. Super High School Level Nurse" B Positive. A name and a motto, both he kind of needed at this point. "Serenade..." he introduced "Serenade Stereo...Super High School Level Musician..." "I know...I h-had to check your ElectroID...t-to see if you had any m-medical conditions..." How could one mare be so timid? It looked like one wrong move and she would collapse right then and there. "There was a big wound left on you and then some minor bruising, you were bleeding from the mouth. She knocked a few teeth loose but I managed to keep them stable and I healed up everything" It seemed the only time she could say a sentence without stuttering was when she was giving medical results "You'll recover quickly..." "That's good...what is with that girl?" "W-well...y-you did kind of sound like you had an intention to kill somebody..." She said it very with fear in her voice "I mean...you asked about that horrible p-punishment...!" "Yeah...execution if they're found out...speaking of which, didn't that Monokuma or whatever his name was say that we would investigate the murders?" B nodded "Y-yes I'm guessing that he'll do some sort of ballot to convict somebody...b-but what happens if we get it wrong!?" She starts to panic "D-do we get executed!?" "Hey, relax. Remember we all agreed to not kill each other?" She bit her lip "Well nobody properly agreed to it...b-but I could never kill anyone!" Well duh... he thought to himself "and...b-before I forget!" she went over to a table and picked up some neatly folded clothes "t-there was blood on them so I had Olive Field wash them for you" Which means...I'm sitting here in my underwear... She gave Serenade his clothes back and turned around "Y-you can tell me when you're dressed...I respect privacy of others" Serenade looked at her...then he noticed something behind her, on the wall. A mirror. She probably didn't notice it so he proceeded to put his clothes back on. "...Alright...you can turn back now..." He said, he had a feeling in the back of his mind that she already knew that though. She gave a weak smile as she looked at him "I'll let the others know that you're okay, your ElectroID is place over there...and that necklace you have" She pointed to where his clothes were placed. The gold necklace and the device sat side-by-side. Then without saying another word. B left him on his own. He picked up his belongings and headed out the door, by this point, B had already turned a corner down the hallway. What was it Monokuma's rules said again? We all had specially prepared rooms? He checked his ID and found a map on one of the options. His room wasn't to far from where he was standing. Just down the hall and a few turns. He began to explore the school he had been isolated into with the others. It was full of twists and turns, he read the signs of the doors as he passes by them. 'Biology Lab', 'Gymnasium' and then the one that caught his eye for a few seconds 'Music room'. He pondered on whether or not to enter. He shoved the thought away and continued his search for his room. A few more corridors later he finds one with eight doors and then at the end was another turn, probably the rest of the rooms. He looked left and right as he passed by them. The name plates had face pictures of the pony it belonged to. He read then as he went by: 'Punch out', 'Olive Field', 'Nimbus Darkness'. He stopped after Nimbus, the next door along, from the star of the corridor, it was third on the right 'Serenade Stereo'. He opened the door and entered the room. He looked around and closed the door. There was a guitar sitting in the corner, it kind of made the music room pointless but he would probably still drop by to see what else Monokuma had placed in there and then. Speak of the devil. "Upupupu!" A familiar laugh sounded throughout the room as Monokuma appeared out of nowhere, right in front of Serenade causing him to scream and jump back, hitting against the door "Like the little present I left you?" He must have referred to the guitar sitting over on the other side of the room "I felt bad about causing the whole 'Punch out from Punch Out' so I thought I'd get you that!" Serenade didn't buy it. "I think that was already there..." "Eh? Aw...you made that pretty boring, things that are boring are just unbearable to me...why do think I made this 'School Life of Mutual Killings'?" his brow furrowed "Cause you're a sadistic demon!?" Serenade said to him angrily "Do you honestly expect us to just kill each other!? It's insane!" "Oh well I don't expect you to understand...I think I'd better go now, let you get the bearings of your room, you have your shower just through that door by the way" he pointed to a door that was probably just behind the wall since Serenade had no view of it. "Well, bye then" and just like before. He disappeared. Serenade sighed and sat on the bed, he had to try and figure out a way to get out of here, he was already hated by everyone...well almost everyone. It seemed that the girl, B Positive just didn't have the guts to hate anyone. She was a shy...friend? Is that how he would describe her? He shook his head and noticed the clock hanging on his wall. 10:00. Probably PM, unless he was unconscious for a whole day. He didn't have much time to think about it, there was a knock at the door. He gulped, all except, B, had a motive to kill him. Kill Serenade before he kills us...He stood up and trailed over to the door and reluctantly opened it. It was his worse nightmare. Punch Out. He soon backed up as she walked into his room. Cowering once more, he put his arms up to shield himself. "Relax...I ain't gonna hit you..." She said but Serenade still kept his guard up "geez, kid...grow a pair, would you?" she growled making Serenade flinch. "I wanted to...apologize" He paused for a few seconds and slowly lowered his arms. "Well...rather, I'm being forced to apologize, that nurse said that you didn't mean it in a way that meant you were going to kill someone." So B had sent her. "To be honest...looking at you, you don't look like the type of guy that could kill" She gave a smile "Tell you what! I'll give you protection from the others on one condition" "...W-which is...?" he did kind of need security in this place "You have to clean my room whenever it gets messed up!" "H-huh?" it was that simple? "And" there's always an 'and' "...I was hoping you would...uh..." She seemed unnaturally nervous. "F-forget it, just the room!" Serenade tilted his head but just accepted that he probably wasn't getting an answer. "Well...it is nice of you to offer, Punch, but...I think I'll be fine on my own" She seemed genuinely shocked by that statement "Really? You sure? I mean look at you" she pokes at his chest "You've hardly got any muscles to defend your self with..." "I know but...I'm sure I can handle it...but...I would like for us to...start over?" Punch was silent for a few seconds then nodded "Sure kid...why not? I mean, a little team isn't bad to have in here is it?" his expression was blank. 'Team' isn't exactly what he was looking for "or...ugh...friends?" She seemed ready to throw up. "...Well...why not? Can never have to many friends!" He seemed to suddenly be bursting with optimism. "Well it's getting late...we should probably go to sleep...we'll have to find a way out eventually..." Punch nodded in agreement as she turned and took her leave. Serenade shut the door and locked it with the key he just noticed hanging in the lock. He walked out to his bed, removed his shoes, socks and jeans and wrapped himself under the covers. 'School Life of Mutual Killings'? Not a chance.
