Monokuma laughed, delighted by the chaos that had transpired in the few minutes the students had been informed of the killing game. This was going to be a fun group!

[center]“Alright, settle down for a moment! Let me get a word in before you all continue!”

“First off, to answer Neola’s question, I’ll allow it! Rules are rules, but loopholes are loopholes! So, if you get locked into any sort of building, you are permitted to break out of it.”

“To answer Damian, my goal here is simple. I just want you guys to give into despair and kill one another! There’s just a lot of fun in watching the chaos.”

 “As for who I am, I am many things, but I assume you are most curious about who I am in relevance to this killing game! Essentially, I’m the showrunner here! I’m the one doing all the hard labor for the mastermind, basically. Hmm… Oh, I haven’t explained that part to you guys yet! Silly me! There’s just so much to keep track of, and I’ve just been so scatterbrained as of late! So, the mastermind of this killing game, the one who made all of this possible, is among you! Don’t think you guys will get any hints from me, though. I’ve sworn to keep my mouth shut!”

“Aaaaaaand I think that covers everything! I’ll be holding individual meetings with you all to see how you guys are acclimating to your new environment, and have a little chat about you and your talent, so expect to see me soon! The camp is yours to explore, within the limits of the rules, and it seems like you guys are having a good time together, so I’ll let you be! Though you all may want disperse to prepare for my eventual arrival.”

“Anyway, so long, everyone! Let’s consider this the end of the beginning to our exciting time together!”[/center]

With that, the bear disappeared, much in the same way he had first appeared, a cackle resounding through the amphitheater as he left.
