Lexi was so bothered by the door closing and locking itself, she didn't calm down enough to speak until after the other students had began to question the Monokuma that stood on the podium. "Is there any specific reason that we aren't allowed to leave? I myself don't even remember coming here in the first place..."

Alejandro walked into the gym and noticed other students for the first time. He was happy that he wasn't going to be alone in a sketchy school with cameras everywhere. Then when Alejandro was about to sit down the door suddenly closed and a teddy bear came out on the stage. He was saying some really good joke, something about that he and the other students had to live there forever or something.

He was too busy thinking of a better prank that would be better than the bear's. Then he forgot about his hat and mustache so he decided to put them away for a bit. Then he spoke up,"How did you think of such a great prank that could be better than any of mine, tell me where did you get such an idea?" All Alejandro thought was this was all some kind of prank for a TV show since there're cameras everywhere. But a prank this good will not work on Alejandro Renaldo Saul Dante.

"Prank? Benefit? Catch?" He said trying to taking in everyone's voices all at once. "Why I'm being quite sincere about this! You are here to preserve the hope of the world, living in harmony. Speaking of harmony, we must have order to keep harmony, and with order must come rules!" He says as he takes cloth off of a nearby table revealing blue, digital device that was about the size of a credit card neatly laid out in a row with a name tag under each one.
"These are your e-handbooks completely waterproof and can withstand up to ten tons! Splash them, throw them, drown them, and it will keep ticking on. They are also in my opinion unable to be hacked thanks to my supersecret software that is installed on literary every device in this school...there is also no WiFi. These devices also contain all the rules for this school and breaking anyone of them will result in severe punishment. They also have many other uses so make sure to keep them close. Make sure everyone has their own, your names should appear after you boot yours up." He spoke with a very cheerful voice.



"As for this catch you mention earlier there is a way to get out of here if your REALLY MUST go. I call it the graduation clause" Monokuma said with a indecisive grin between good and bad.

"And what would that be? Ace a test you give us?" He said his expression was unnerved and bored, but he was was hopeful of this graduation clause thing.

"To graduate you must kill someone" he said is tone instantly getting very dark and very serious, yet at the same time it seemed he was smiling still. "Puhuhuhu, You must get away with murder to be a bit more clearly. Though not that it matters since you guys plan on living in harmony right?" He said like the words didn't carry any weight to them.

By the hearing of the word kill looked Lucy up. The bear really means it so it was not a joke.

Lucy stood up from the stage and walked to wards where the e-Handbooks layed on the ground and picked the one up with her name by it. The color of her handbook was dark-blue.

Lucy started the hand book and saw the list with rules.

She thought:‘Pfff. What kind of rules are these…’

There was also a list with all the names and foto's of all the other studens and an map of the school.

"What a load of phooey why would any of us kill" Eris said though in her mind she was really thinking 'well I guess since a lot of us don't know each other it would make it even easier to do the deed'. She walked over to the stage and picked up a Rose Red handbook with her name on it, when she turned it on she flipped through the names and stopped on her own "well that's a nice picture at least" she said before continuing onto the regulations. As she read the rules she stopped at the 6th one and questioned the word "Blackened", 'what does that mean' she thought and looked around at the other students for their reactions to the news.

well... that's new. kill some one to leave. but no one would take that option. no one has motivations for doing anything like that...but for some reason Charon had a feeling that this monokuma would try to supply that. Charon went up and grabbed one of the electronic tablets (the school book) and booted it up. a picture of the hopes peak logo appeared, and it started going through the rules.
"oy stuffy. just food for thought as you are trying to get us to go down this path... do they have to find the body?" he realy did not want to kill someone just so that he could leave, but he had to know all the potentials that some one could take.

Lexi walked up to the handbooks after a few others had gone and gotten theirs. The one with her name by it was light purple, and when she booted it up and read the rules, she found that it was quite easy to use. She didn't understand parts of what they said, but at least a few of the rules seemed straightforward enough. "Umm, headmaster Monokuma?" Lexi walked up next to the white and black bear, attempting to seem unfazed by his strange appearance. "Could you, explain the 6th rule a bit please? Also, If there's no WiFi, how do these work?"

"Ah ,yes I should-wait did you just call me stuffy?" He said starting to get worked up. "I TOLD YOU IM NOT A BEAR NOR A STUFFY, I AM I MONOKUMA!" He yelled angrily throwing his arms up in the air and after a brief moment of calming down he added, "upupupup, your headmaster."

"Now then, as I was saying, when someone is murdered, the murderer becomes blackened, or guilty. When a total of three students find the body, I will make a body discovery announcement, letting the rest know about the murder. You will have a few short hours to search for clues and evidence to find the murderer.....or when I get tired of waiting, I am a very impatient Monokuma after all. After the time's up we will hold a class trial to decide who murdered who." He explained very quickly to the children.

"As for the WiFi there is actually WiFi but it doesn't have internet, nor is it on. I only turn it on to update rules, maps, cooking recipes, and anything else I want on your devices. So in short you don't need to worry about the WiFi." He said and then added, "Well that's all the time i have. Have fun, talking, making friends, backstabbing, killing, cooking, upupupup, and all that fun stuff." And just like that he disappeared just as fast as he appeared.

Lucy looked at the other studends before she walked back to the place where she sat first by the stage where she had found the hidden door in the floor.

At the stage she began to look for a way to open it.

Damon walked up and grabbed an e-handbook. After booting it up he saw his picture and read the rules carefully. The rules were self explanatory to him so he then just stuffed the handbook into his pocket. Damon ignored what the principal said about murder. For the time bring Damon felt no reason to really want to leave. At that moment, Damon's stomach grumbled loudly. Hm...I guess I could use a bite to eat.
He then slipped out of the gym and started to head towards the cafeteria.

There was a long silence in the room after Monokuma had disappeared, while Lexi wanted to say something to the group, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She noticed that the doors had reopened after the bear left, and decided to go exploring. Before she left though, she addressed the group. "Well, would anyone like to go exploring with me? The map on this thing," She held up her e-handbook, "Is useful and all, but I'd prefer not to have to rely on it for very long."

Lexi smiled at the group, slipping easily into her mascot demeanor. She jumped off of the stage and skipped to the nearest door, then turned to the group before she actually walked out the door. "Well? Who's coming with me!"

Lucy raised her hand and whent off the stage and walked to wards Lexi. And opend the map on the handbook, while waiting for her to say something.

Charon looked around after monokuma left, and noticed that one of the students was organizing a miniature ture. "i guess ill join" he said as he walked over

(sorry for not posting, dad was using computer + low motivation)

Drake opened his e-notebook and looked at the map trying to figure out where to go. "Lets see, cafeteria, kitchen, dor- Wait there's a art classroom?! said mumbling which turned into a yell. He ran to the door and ran down the halls a a very surprisingly fast speed. He made a sharp turn which made his shoes squeak and continue running the halls. He was like a hound dog running after the smell of bacon, he could smell the water color paint all they across the school.

He finally collapsed in the art room completely out of breath and energy. He laid himself down on the floor with his hands and legs spread out like he was trying to make a snow angel."I.......Made......it......." He wheezed out like the room was going to go somewhere. After a few moments he finally caught his breath and got up. He investigated the art room looking in every nook and cranny for supplies. Wow, they literally have everything you could need for art, at least in the arts and craft's set of mind." He said somewhat surprised. He took a sketch pad, small enough for it to be carried around easily but big enough to fit in his lap, and sat there thinking of what to sketch. "Maybe I'll draw that rabbit that girl had, I think her was Lexi? He said to himself and then began working on it in silence.

@Vesuvius00

Marith looked at the girl who said she was going to explore and started walking over to her, "I'll join you too" she said before smiling back at her and holding out her hand saying "Hi my name is Marith what's yours"

Lexi was glad she already had a group of people willing to be around each other despite the strange things that Monokuma had said. She was a little surprised when Drake suddenly ran out the door like a madman, but she supposed he just didn't want to explore with anybody. Three people had decided to join her already, two girls and a boy. Keeping her cheerful demeanor, Lexi smiled at the group. "Nice to meet you all! I'm Lexi. Does anyone have an idea where we should go first?"

Lucy smiled back and hold up her tabled thing with the map and pioned to the the place near the caffateria.

"if we go near the cafeteria, we could stock up on food, that way i don't have to leave my room. im calling dibs on stealing the fridge though." charon looked at the others. one of the girls was also pointing towards the cafeteria. "see she has the right idea."

@metagros
"No, no, no, that isn't going to do." Monokuma said in the control room. He presses a few buttons and TADA the fridge has been bolted to the wall. (He is says it to himself not to the students)

As Drake drew the picture change more and more until it was more like a sketch of Lexi with the rabbit, than a sketch of Lexi's rabbit. When he finished it and colored it in it showed Lexi in a pink bedroom with her sitting on the bed. The rabbit was in her lap and lots of other stuffed animals piled around her on the bed, with a few spread around the room. The picture looked extremely real and the sketch of her was a perfect replica.

"Mwa, prefecto." He said in the most horrible fake French accent. He got up and exit the room figuring that she might want to see it. He opened his e-handbook and saw it was quite bland, so he went back and painted it. When he finished it looked like someone's tie dyed shirt. He opened it again and looked at the map. "It seems if I walk back to the gym, if they haven't already reached the cafeteria, then I'll eventually cross paths with them." He said.

He started walking and the moment he passed the cafeteria his stomach growled. "Well it seems I better grab a snack." Drake said as he entered the cafeteria. He looked back down at the map. The kitchen seems to be behind the cafeteria. He walked back there seeing as the fridge was bolted down. "What the hell do you think we're going to do, steal the fridge?" He said scratching his head.

The kitchen looked like it was crossed with a grocery store. There were apples, lettuce, carrots, and lots of other fruits placed like you would see in a store. The other half was like a gourmet kitchen that had almost everything. Though Drake completely ignored how nice the kitchen was and grabbed a apple and went on his way to find the others.

"You don't have to be shy, I won't bite!" Lexi said to the girl who hadn't said anything yet, then turning to the boy she spoke in a bubbly but stern tone. "I'm not sure you'd be able to take the refrigerators. They might be bolted to the ground in the kitchen, and this is a school, so they're also probably industrial sized. Either way it's not a good idea to try, the headmaster might get angry at you if you were to succeed."

"Though it seems we have a majority vote for the cafeteria, so let's go there first. We can work out where to go next on the way." Lexi said as she turned to leave the gym, then asking the girl with the map, "Umm, do you know what direction we should go?"
