[center][@Ariamis][@Aewin][@Melo][@Mateotis][@Vocab][@ThatCharacter][@MyCatGinger][/center] Davis felt a lot better after talking with Mondatta. He wasn't 100% on board with his “hope solves everything” philosophy, but perfection did feel better just knowing that there was someone who respected him for telling the truth. He knew he shouldn't feel this good. Shona died not twenty-four hours ago. Maybe it was because Davis was even more sure that there was more to her death that met the eye. He would have to search her room later. But first, it was time to follow the monk's advice. Calvin wasn't going to get Noel, not on his title of Infinite Conquest! Davis stepped out of his room. But he didn't head right into the break room. Instead, he leaned up against the wall and started talking to himself. “So Noel.” He spoke into the air. “I understand you report things.” He nodded. “You know not a lot of people know about me, Infinite conquest. I'm more than just good looks and a lady killer.” He scratched his chin a bit. “I'm more than just good looks and a hairy chest.” Some more chin scratching. “I'm a lot more interesting than Calvin.” He nodded to himself with a smile. “He's actually a huge creep, he's in libido overdrive all the time.” Davis groaned to himself. “She might be into that...” After a bit more thinking his smile came back. “I'm a fan of your work, like that story you wrote about...” Davis scowled. “I'd like to hear about some of the things you've covered.” Before Davis could further embarrass himself, he could hear it again. The thundering footsteps of the carnage sister's horses. He thought he was prepared for what was to come, He couldn't have been more wrong. [hr] Nine mechanical horses were lined up in front of a red sleigh. They had foam antlers glued to their heads, along with jingle bells, red and green ribbons, and the front most one even had a glowing nose. Well, the glowing nose was mostly thanks to a string of lights that passed directly over the horse's face. Back in the sleigh, Monokuma held the reigns and wore a fake beard and a jolly red suit. Behind him were two carnage sisters dressed as elves: Geina and Willow. Though these weren't your regular Christmas elves they were dressed as. These were sexy elves, who's mini skirts ended just above the thighs. Their vests couldn't fully close and needed to be held together with small wreaths. “Holidays are fuckin' weird!” Geina was looking at her bare arms. “At least the suit doesn't cover my guns.” Willow chuckled. “In more ways than one.” “Huh?” “Anyway!” Willow looked away from her sister. “Those without nobility are fated to live droll lives. They are merely watchers, constantly looking to their monarch for support. So as a leader of the people, you need to give them a reason to celebrate their meaningless existence. Holidays are a great way to do that.” The queen threw her arms into the air. “It's new years! Is all you need to shout to get a bunch of worthless mongrels to drink themselves stupid.” Geina scoffed. “Yea, pathetic!” “By the way...” Willow leaned on Geina's shoulder. “Did you know America has a holiday that involves blowing up fireworks?” “Whoa...” Geina's eyes glowed an intense blue, thanks to the LEDs in her eyes. “This is a wonderful country!” Monokuma groaned. “Are you kids done jabbering? Are you going to shoot Davis or what? I'm growing a beard over here!” Willow picked up her cannon. “I'm ready father. I won't let a single one escape!” without much warning, she fired her cannon at Davis. There was a flurry of confetti, and a gift wrapped box struck Perfection square in the chest!

[/indent][/quote][/indent] “Quickly sister!” Willow commanded. “Breach the door, we have to go in on foot!” Geina hopped off the sleigh and opened the door normally for Willow. As soon as she got inside, Geina hooked up a hose to the back of Willow's cannon, and the gifting spree continued. First she fired at Cyrus...

A point blank shot like this would hurt. It could even be fatal depending on what was in the package. Willow gradually lowered the muzzle of her cannon, and the gift slid out the barrel and landed in her lap, along with a pile of confetti that would have looked more impressive being blasted out.

[/indent][/quote][/indent] The break room was a mess. There was multicolored confetti everywhere, even in some of the food. The carnage sisters just snickered like a bunch of punks and left the room. Meanwhile, Krista should have been safe in her room, Dr killgood was able to open the door, and Willow fired into the room without physically entering it. An important detail to keep in mind for the next night of carnage! [indent][quote][b]ITEM GET![/b] [b]Fashionable hair ties[/b] [indent]Hair ties for a multitude of looks, from cute to flirty.

He didn't look surprised, and just shrugged. “I guess it's Christmas?” The monitor in the break room came alive with the familiar two-toned face of Monokuma. He was still dressed as Santa. “Merry Christmas everyone! I know some of you are heavy sleepers, so I figured some of you would need a high pitched scream to wake you from your sleep. Phu phu phu!” The bear fell backwards onto its butt. “You didn't leave me out any milk and cookies, so no gift was given to its intended recipient. You guys can sort that out by yourselves. And you know, make friends and stuff. Fun fact, over seventy percent of homicides are committed by people who know the victim.” There was a short pause before the bear spoke up again. “Oh! And I also gave you all something black and white, and it's not snow covered coal! Search your gift boxes carefully...” [indent][quote][b]ITEM GET![/b] [b]Mono-Token[/b] [indent]A black and white cassino chip. [/indent][/quote][/indent] Monokuma sighed. “I know that when you lose someone important to you, it feels like having a huge hole ripped out of your heart. You could fill the hole with love, but it has to be someone else's love, and that's in short supply down here.” The bear almost sounded like it was whimpering. “But you can also fill it with vices! Fill it with beer, possessions, and.... gambling!” The screen switched over to the Mono-stand. Nariko was dressed up like a casino dealer. “Oh no...” She pouted. Her hair waving in that breeze the fan in the back of her head created. “It's not ready yet. I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry for-” Dr. Killgood reappeared on the screen. “Anyway, I felt that you guys deserved an extra special reward for being such heroes yesterday. But I also didn't want that sadness to spread to the newer folks in our little group. So I'm opening up a fun little game for everyone to participate in!” Monokuma tore off his Santa suit. Underneath all that, he was dressed in a black and white tux. “A fun little way for you guys to earn some mono coins and get even more gifts! And if you don't like the sound of that...” He pulled a pair of shades out of his vest and put them on. “Deal with it!” The screen went quiet again. Bliss looked at everyone in the room to gauge their reaction, though her eyes stopped on Davis. “Are you exited for that?” Davis was smiling, still staring at the black screen. “Uh!” He shook his head, returning to his normal self. “A-anyway, Calvin!” Perfection turned to the blacksmith. He took a deep breath and did his best not to over react. “...Calvin. What the hell happened last night?” As much as he wanted to start talking to Noel, there was no way he would be able to without getting some answers first. And if those answers made Calvin look bad, maybe the black smith would stop being such a chick magnet.
