[b]Serena Bellerose[/b]

The sudden appearance of the teddy bear was shocking—to say the least. It felt like the bear was speaking at a million miles a second, jumping from one topic to the next, and making little to no sense with everything he was talking about. Monokuma? Headmaster? That bear was their headmaster!? How!? And they were trapped in here? FOREVER? Serena was pretty sure she was about to either have a breakdown or go insane that very moment—or both. As soon as the bear talked about the Graduation rule and murder, Serena was more than confident that her heart completely stopped for a moment or two.

There was the risk of getting murdered in here!? All that her new classmates knew about her was that she was a princess! She would get picked off in an instant! There was a torture specialist, a liar; she had no doubt that she was the prime target for all of these people! As soon as their apparent Headmaster handed them the Electronic Student Identification cards, she quickly clutched it to her chest, she had no intention of anyone having more information on her, not when she didn’t know any of these people.

Once Monokuma had left, she frantically looked around at all of her fellow classmates, [b]”N-No one is going to murder anyone… are they?”[/b] she asked meekly, before seeing the ballet dancer, Karyl, start to raise her hand. Her eyes widened and she visibly panicked, [b]”You better not dare try and kill me!”[/b] she shouted, pointing accusatorily at Karyl, before glancing over at the door that led into the school halls. Even though there were no locks working in Orion Academy, Serena just didn’t want to be around any of these people. She couldn’t trust them. Ever since she started to shout at Karyl, she didn’t pay attention to anything else that anyone had said, she was too paranoid.

[b]Edie Jensen[/b]

The apparent Headmaster of the school—Monokuma—had frightened Edie as much as it frightened everyone else. She stood there, in stunned silence during its entire explanation about how things would apparently be working. They would be trapped? What the hell did they come to this school for? How would there be any classes if there were no classes and they were trapped? Was coming to Orion Academy really a bad idea after all? She didn’t exactly want to believe that, but, well… things weren’t looking too good right now.

The whole killing thing, however, turned Edie completely pale. They were being told to kill their classmates in order to get out? How the hell could anyone do that!? She hoped that none of the others would go for this; after all, they were classmates! Sure, Edie had some bad times with customers, but she never got to the point where she’d consider killing one of them even if she was angry!

Edie tucked her Electronic Student Identification Card in her apron’s pocket when it was handed to her, and let out a long sigh when Monokuma finally left. [b]”Look… I know everything that was just said was crazy… but we need to keep calm, right?”[/b] she suggested, however, she could tell tensions were already rising. The princess was already shrieking at the ballet dancer, and most attempts at trying to remain calm and keep the group together weren’t exactly working. [b]”Look, guys, maybe we should just try and find the cafeteria, get some food in all of us, and just talk and calm down. Don’t you guys think this is what Monokuma is after?”[/b] she asked, folding her arms and frowning, glancing to the ground. She wasn’t confident about anything she just said, to be honest. She wanted out, and she knew everyone else would too, but she needed to try and put on a strong face. It would be what her parents would want, after all.

[b]Iris Bradley[/b]

Iris would have quickly admitted with the rest of the group that seeing a black and white, rather sinister looking teddy bear, reveal that he was their apparent headmaster scared her. Of course, all of the other details were more frightening: They were trapped in the school, he wanted despairful actions to be caused, and in order to get out, they would have to kill.
Of course, that just ended up leading to an apparent motive of no working locks, which Iris was just as uneasy about. No one knew each other that well yet, this would turn out to be a huge recipe for disaster, which she figured was exactly the point of all this.

Of course, that all just led back to the whole despairful actions part. Her Super High School Level title was SHSL Despair… did this have something to do with her? She closed her eyes momentarily, thinking, but she turned up with a blank. She had no clue if her supposed talent had anything to do with the situation at hand. She knew she was a rather… sad, depressed, melancholy person, and for whatever reason Orion Academy wanted to see said talent… was this part of that?

She did her best to remain absolutely calm amidst the rather large amounts of panic that was going on between everyone at the moment. Surely, she was a part of this too. She knew her despair was a bit… contagious, but at this point almost everyone was going insane. Hell, one of the girls admitted to wanting to get out of here!

Of course, she was asked her talent by the magician, and Iris frowned, before walking forward. [b]”My talent is Super High School Level Despair, yes,”[/b] she stated simply. [b]”But I don’t know anything about what’s going on,”[/b] she added. [b]”If you don’t want to trust me, that’s fine, we don’t know each other, after all. But, I’m not part of whatever is going on,”[/b] she said firmly. She was probably already enemy number one within the group, but she would do her best to prove that she could be trusted. She wouldn’t let her despair get the best of any of them.
