[color=pink]"Ugh, my head...Was I doing a 24 again...Wat?"[/color] Mary groaned out as she held her head, finding herself in an elevator slumped up in the corner. [color=pink]"Wait wait wait, recap: Axis Mundi...And...uhh..."[/color] Mary tried to remember, but it was foggy. She looked around the room, and froze in fear as her eyes widened in shock: right next to her was what looked like a robot wearing a monk's robe, staring blankly forward with his head propped against the wall, and Mary held her breath in utter terror. [i]Oh god no, am I trapped with a killer robot? When I said surprise guest I didn't mean this![/i]

After a short moment of waiting if the robot activated or not, Mary slowly got up. It was then that she noticed the bloody writing on the wall. [i]Couldn't find a pen, huh?[/i] She thought, referencing a catch phrase she always used whenever a similar situation happened in horror games she was streaming. But this wasn't any old game, it was reality. Once that hit Mary, she put her hands to her mouth, and tried to muffle a gasp. The robot twitched, and Mary jumped, startled. The robot-looking entity's eye-lenses opened and shut, and they moved towards Mary. The robotic man attempted to stand up, but Mary shoved him back down; Mary screamed so loud the entire floor could hear it, and banged on the door a couple of times, screaming: [color=pink]"KILLER ROBOTS! AHHHHHH!"[/color] 
A distorted, digital voice came from the robotic man: [b][color=gray]"Do not panic. I won't hurt you."[/color][/b] The robotic man made a peace sign with his fingers, and then crouched down into a meditating position.

Mary held her back against the elevator door, breathing heavily, as she stared at the strange sight. She realized if the robot wanted to hurt her he would have done so already, and managed to calm herself a bit, though she was still tense. [color=pink]"Ok, what the hell are you? Some kind of robot monk? You don't look like an Omnic."[/color] The robot man shook his head slowly. [b][color=gray]"My name is Tekhartha Mondatta, and this,"[/color][/b] he said gesturing to his suit, [b][color=gray]"Is Axis Mundi's gift of life, for which I am thankful."[/color][/b] Mary's jaw dropped as her brains made a quick search through the countless Youtubers she had stored in her memory banks. [color=pink]"Mondatta The Buddhist? I'm subscribed to your Youtube channel."[/color] Mary then put a finger to her cheek. [color=pink]"So that's just a suit? This...is too weird for me, and I do weird as a living..."[/color]

[b][color=gray]"I understand your doubts. But what truly worries me is the writing on the wall. It is written in blood, and carries an ominous message."[/color][/b]
Mary puffed her cheeks. [color=pink]"Well duh, Tinman, we're probably stuck in some messed up death game. In fact, a bloody message and us waking up in an elevator has already been done in Nil Jailbreak 2. Though there don't seem to be any puzzles for us to solve..."[/color] Mary then mumbled to herself as she made a quick search. Then, as if on cue, Monokuma showed up. [color=pink]"A mascot..."[/color] Mary said, and grimaced as her fears were starting to become more and more true.

[b][color=gray]“I don't have a picture of the Infinite Monk, only the suit of armor he wears. So you can't see Tekhartha Mondatta. Though that's probably a good thing because he'd never be able to compete with  Mason anyway. But It's kind of poetic isn't it? Our monk is sworn to a life of solitude so deep, that we can't even see him when he's next to us. So let's open our third eye together with him.”[/color][/b]

[color=pink]"So how did you end up in...uhh...that?"[/color] Mary asked when she noticed that Mondatta hasn't spoke much, and as an entertainer she found dead silence worse than any kind of banter. [b][color=gray]"I was in an...unfortunate incident. I do not wish to speak of it, but I may tell you later."[/color][/b]
[color=pink]"Uh-huh,"[/color] Mary answered, lifting an eyebrow. This guy was the same one who made those interesting videos? Mary didn't know what to think.

“O'rly? Ya'rly! Ermaghered! Mary Hanson is the Infinite Streamer, and she's here. Me Gusta! Problem other girls? Are you worried someone will take an arrow to the knee and no longer pay attention to their overly attached girlfriend? I'll always be here for you bae.”

Mary's eyes squinted at the screen, angry at how the bear mocked her. She was used to flaming from haters, so something like this usually didn't bother her at all, but somehow Monokuma managed to get on her nerves. Mondatta chuckled, and Mary's face turned red. [color=pink]"Hey, what's so funny?"[/color] Mondatta shook his head again. [b][color=gray]"Forgive me, I did not mean to insult you. I just find this situation we're in ridiculous."[/color][/b]
[color=pink]"Well, yeah, you could say that..."[/color] Mary sighed. How could this guy stay so calm? They were kidnapped and forced to participate in something most likely deadly, and all he does is laugh. Was it because of the suit? No way: Monokuma would have taken it from him if it granted him that much protection. 

Mary didn't think much of it though, when next was the Infinite Trap; Mary's eyes shone with a perverted glint. [color=pink]"A cute trap? I gotta get a pic of him, where's my...OH GO NO!"[/color] Mary screamed again, and Mondatta's eyes switched angles. [b][color=gray]"Is there something wrong?"[/color] Mary replied: [color=pink]"My phone! I can't find it! The bear must have stolen it! Goddammit, what will I do now? I need my selfies! I can't live without selfies!"[/color] Mondatta gently placed a cold, metallic hand on her shoulder, and Mary tensed up. [b][color=gray]"Clear your thoughts of unnecessary obsession, and you will find inner peace."[/color][/b]
[color=pink]"Well I-Huh?"[/color] Mary was about to angrily answer back, but she instead shut up. Something about Mondatta's voice, even if it was all creepy and robotic due to the sound modulator installed in his helmet, evoked a sense of calm in her, and she hesitantly nodded. [color=pink]"Well, I'll just have to wait till I get out of here. Note to self: Kidnap Caora and bring him to my basement."[/color] Mondatta's eyes once again shifted, mimicking confusion, but Mary just giggled. [color=pink]"Just kidding...Maybe."[/color]

Once everyone's introduction were made, and the elevator doors opened, Mondatta immedaitely stood up. 
[b][color=gray]"It seems we are free to explore this area. We should carefully look for a possible route of escape."[/color][/b] The monk took a step outside, and looked back to see Mary with a hand on the wall, looking at it. [color=pink]"I guess...you ain't called the Infinite Monk for nothing, huh? You sure got a cool head. Hey, I didn't mean to push you down like that, ok? It was...an accident?"[/color] 
Mondatta simply nodded, and continued on his way. [b][color=gray]"In troubled times we all hold on to our fears, but through accepting those fears will we succeed past them."[/color][/b] 
Mary smiled: As weird as he now looked, Mondatta seemed like an alright guy. [color=pink]"Hey, if we get into any trouble...Unleash a Can of Whoop-ass!"[/color] She comedically blurted out, and after Mondatta chuckled again, a cute smile grew on her cheeks after such a glorious pun; even if the situation was scary, Mary was going to make the best of it as the two ventured forth to explore the first floor, and meet with other Infinites.
