 [Sonia has gone through so much grief, terror and confusion that when she first woke up, she needed a good long cry, some pacing, and then pinching herself several times to make sure she was awake.

None of that shows when she finally uses the device and speaks out.]

Excuse me, may I have your attention? This is Sonia Nevermind, calling out to all residents of Jabberwock Island. If you can hear me, I am currently at the school building. I am alive and well…

[Which makes her pause. Why IS she alive and well, considering what just happened? But this is no time for fear or panic. After the explosion, she has to make sure her fellow students - no, her friends are okay. That must always come first, no matter what trick Monokuma is playing this time.]

We should all meet up immediately. I’m sure we can figure out what’s happened if we all stick together. I am inside the library, so you don’t have to do an extensive search. I will be patiently waiting to hear from you. I would deeply appreciate it if you contacted me as soon as possible. Until then…

… They have such extensive books about serial killers! I haven’t found any about Genocider Syo or Kira Kira-chan, but the volumes on other heroes of justice is absolutely hella cool! So I have plenty of time to kill with them!

Get it? Kill? 

[For those interested in action, you can find her in the library as stated, going through the books.]

[ ... Oh. Whoops. Momentarily he forgets all intentions of flirting with her when he hears those words. "Monomi" is the only one he doesn't recognize - Gundam had only called the thing a rabbit, not given it a name - but the other two are fairly familiar. And it brings back the memories of back home, enough to make his stomach drop. ]

Y.. you too..? [ His face is a little more pale for sure. ] You're a part of that retarded murder place too?!

[princesspool]

[Success! A terrible one, but success all the way. She tries to remain royally strong, nodding and going along.]

I'll explain myself before you do the same. Fifteen students, myself included, were set to attend Hope's Peak academy. But we blacked out, and wound up on Jabberwock island. Monomi told us it was to strengthen the bonds of friendship, but then Monokuma took over and said the only way we could leave was to murder a student and not be found out.

I am... truly sorry to make you remember it.

[tsunball]

Some island.. so you're from the same place as that guy who keeps talking about.. the dark lords of.. darkness or whatever it is? [ He can't even keep up with what exactly Gundam keeps claiming, he's already decided the guy must just be too obsessed with anime or something like that. ]

I dunno anything about that island, but I was locked up in the school itself when we just arrived for our first day with the people who were supposed to be my classmates, I guess. I dunno about any Monomi, but.. that fucking bear sure was there..!

[princesspool]

Gundam Tanaka-san, yes. He is my good friend and fellow classmate...

[But she trails off as she hears him, eyes widening.]

Then this terrible thing was happening at the school too?! That's the worst thing I could hear! Why would he keep doing this over and over? There's no point to it! It's a senseless waste of so many innocent lives! It doesn't make any sense!

[tsunball]

[ At least her getting upset about it helps a little. Because he sure is upset about the situation too, of course he is, like hell he wanted to die! At least he hopes to avoid the topic of him being executed rather than killed by someone else, but.. maybe it's good to vent about this for once, huh? ]

He's just gonna keep this up until he's gotten his sick amusement, whoever's controlling that bear! I don't get it either way.. why did it have to be us?! I still had my whole life ahead of me..!

[princesspool]

[And if it helps, she's crying over you too. Granted, it's about everyone, but it includes you.]

I'm so sorry, Kuawata-san! You didn't deserve it either! I wanted to get to know all of my fellow students at Hopes' Peak Academy... but never like that! We should have gotten to meet desk by desk, exchanging notes and studying together!

[tsunball]

[ Hey, it's better than he's gotten before.. ]

.. Yeah. Can't say I like school or whatever, but.. of course it would've been much better than this shit. [ His stomach turns again. Ugh, even the memories of that place are constricting. This girl seems pretty nice though, aside from her.. weird question about serial killers. If only she would've been there instead of Maizono.. ]

Not like it matters anymore now, right? We're dead. Nobody can save us anymore, we can't even have revenge on that bear!

[princesspool]

[There's a long - and probably unhealthy - pause before she answers again.]

... I was told to live strong every day. So that their sacrifices wouldn't be in vain.

[tsunball]

Well, not like you can exactly help anything about that now. I mean.. we're dead.

[ He groans, pulling his hand through his hair. ]

[princesspool]

...

May I ask you something, Kuwata-san?

[SHSL denial go.]

[tsunball]

[ He blinks. It's a little sudden, but it's not like he can just refuse a request from a cute girl.. ]

Sure, what is it?

[princesspool]

What's your Super High School Level Talent? I'm hella curious!

[BECAUSE I'M ALIVE YEP NO WAY I'M DEAD NOOOOO WAY.]

[tsunball]

[ "HELLA" CURIOUS?! No, okay, weird wording for a girl aside, this is a problem.. does he say his actual talent?! What if she doesn't find it cool enough, he'll immediately ruin his chances with a cute girl.. but then on the other hand, if he makes one up she'll probably find out the real one somehow since a lot of people know.. Come on, Leon, think, think--- ]

Oh! I'm.. a Super High School Level Baseball Player! Even in this place, I'm by far the best! [ See, that leaves him an opening to say he doesn't like it after all if she doesn't think it's cool.. N-NOT LIKE HE LIKES BASEBALL OR ANYTHING GEEZ!! ]

[princesspool]

Uwaaah! What a great talent!

I must admit... I've never seen a baseball game. But all athleticism must be honored! From what I hear, you hit the ball, and run the bases...

Then you yell at the umpire and call him a blind bastard!

[She says this with such determination, she's 75% sure she got that right.]

[tsunball]

[ He's sort of fearing the reaction here.. but it seems pretty positive, huh? And by the time she gets to the last part, he can't help but let out a chuckle. It's pretty genuine. ]

Heh, yeah, like that! It sounds like you're already a pro at it too, uh.. [ .. normally he calls people by their last name but hers is so English that it'd feel weird.. ] .. I can just say Sonia, right? You mind?

[princesspool]

Go right ahead. Is there anything you wish for me to call you instead of Kuwata-san?

[tsunball]

[ Oh. .. Oh. Hehehehe.. He's just dumbly laughing to himself here, don't mind him.. he wants to be cool so badly but when it comes down to it he absolutely can't ever be cool. Especially not now. ]

Uh.. well, you can just call me Leon, if you wanna go that far!

[princesspool]

Leon-san it is!

[One must be respectable after all.]

I look forward to our friendship, Leon-san!

[tsunball]

[ .... D'oh. SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR, LEON. At least you tried. Okay, let's then at least add some honorific to not seem like a complete idiot.. ]

Uh.. yeah, me too, Sonia-chan! [ HOPEFULLY MORE THAN FRIENDSHIP but nope, Leon, you're never going to reach that, just give up. ] If you ever wanna talk to me, just come find me! I'm usually all around this place!

[princesspool]

Rest assured, I shall do plenty of exploring over my new surroundings! I want to understand and memorize all of this vast territory, and if I were to spot you in my search, I would not hesitate to visit you!

[in other words, 'okay!']

[tsunball]

[ Well, that could've gone worse. For now he's satisfied, so he just grins. ]

See you around then! Later!
