It was late into the night, yet the lights were still on in Mary's room. She was sitting on her hospital bed, talking to the expensive video camera on a tripod stand that she brought with him to Axis Mundi, like she always did. She could have used the device Monokuma gave them all to record the video, but she found the routine of recording her daily video log with her trusty camera a lot better. It gave her a sense of safety and predictability after what transpired in the theater. 

Mary did expect a death game, but it was far worse than she could have imagined; instead of solving puzzles or escaping rooms by performing challenges, you actually had to commit a murder. And based on what Mary read from the rules, it seemed like it had to be a secret one as well. Still, she kept up her cheer for her audience, as she always had.

[color=pink]"Hi everyone, It's MaryPie here. Well, here I am in Axis Mundi, after I was seemingly drugged and left in an elevator, and now stuck like a prisoner thanks to a talking horror game mascot. What do I think of this place? Well, considering I'm forced to kill other patients to even leave, I can give this place a 0/5 on my Resort Rating."[/color]
The jokey nature of her statement helped lift her mood, even if for just a little bit.
[color=pink]"Well, it's not all bad, as the good doctor Killgood gave me a gift, so we'll have a surprise unboxing right now! Yay!"[/color] She lifted her hands to the air, but they soon fell back to the bad in a tired fashion. She tapped the box that was next to her, and read the letter out loud, as she always did when handling fan mail and presents they sent to her. 

[color=pink]"Ok, let's see what's in here..."[/color] She said as she professionally opened the box without causing too much noise, and lifted the item out. [color=pink]"Hey, it's a bottle of...Knight's Squire Ale? Is this a souvenir from a medieval fair? Well, I am sure who would like this as a present...Buuuut..."[/color] Mary thought hard, before putting it away. [color=pink]"That's what the stupid mascot wants me to do, and I refuse to play into his sick game! So instead I'll wait until we're out of here, and then I'll invite her to my show where she can get the present. Alright, I would ramble a lot longer, but I'm really tired, so I'll be signing out. Bye everyone!"[/color] She waved to the camera, shut it off, and then collapsed back on the bed, sighing loudly. [color=pink]"Bwehh, what did I do to deserve this?"[/color]
[hr]
In the morning, Mary once again put on a positive show for the others, waving and smiling to everyone as she went down the hallway, passing by Mondatta. The monk was holding what looked like a book of some sort in his hands, and he spoke up to Mary. [b][color=gray]"Miss Hanson, could I ask you for a favor? Could you tell any patients you meet to head to the break room? I have an announcement to make."[/color][/b]
Mary agreed, and she quickly bounced around telling everyone that Mondatta was having a big speech at the break room. 

Once word spread to everyone, Mary then herself headed to the break room. There, she saw Mondatta standing next to Kara. [b][color=gray]"Greetings, and thank you for attending. As we are aware, the so-called 'doctor' has given each of us an item, and claims that we should gift these items for the purpose of false trust. The item I have is a picture book called the Touch-Touch Book Farm. Now, I will give this gift to you, young one,"[/color][/b] he said, offering the item to the Infinite Chef. 

[b][color=gray]"However, this gift was not given in ill will, but as my gesture of trust to everyone present that nobody succumbs to temptation, and that we can all co-operate for the purposes of escaping this facility. I also encourage everyone else who has not yet parted with their given item to do so. Let us not doubt each other, but work together to achieve mutual goals. That is all."[/color][/b]

Mary simply stared at Mondatta, conflicted on the inside; he couldn't possibly think everyone would agree with him? In fact, Mary had her suspicions that some people here would eventually do something drastic. Still, he made a good point about the presents; just because they were intended for the purposes of murder doesn't mean they have to. Feeling good about the idea that the present would spread hope rather than doubt, she went to speak with Shona. 
[color=pink]"Hey, Sho-Sho! I got a bottle of ale from the teddy! Wanna get totally crunk?[/color] She asked while making a funny face with her tongue sticking out, hopefully making her laugh; laughter was a good medicine for when you're feeling bad, after all.
