♙ 001. [ voice, action ]

[gekiken]

[ For the past few days, since she'd awoken in this strange new place, Peko had taken it upon herself to investigate her new surroundings. It was prudent to gather as much information as possible, especially in the case that things went as badly here as they did back on the island. Granted, she probably looked a little ridiculous to anyone who happened upon her in her attempts to investigate every corner of the place, but it could not be helped. 

Once she felt confident in her acquisition of the lay of the land, Peko made her way to the library. She had found the computer network on a prior expedition, but hadn't felt the need to announce her presence at the time.

When the voice recording starts up, the sound is of a calm, sharp woman's voice. ]

Hello. I am called Pekoyama Peko, and I believe that I am considered to be "new here". 

I have had the basics of this place explained to me, although I will admit to a few questions....such as why the afterlife occurs in a high school of all places. However, I imagine the answer to that question is not widely known. 

[ A pause. ]

More importantly, I seek a weapon. I have heard of the dangers of the shadows, and I would also like to keep my swordsmanship skills from becoming rusty from disuse.

[ Plus, she feels a sense of discomfort, being disarmed at the moment - even if there are no clear and present threats, she was unused to not having any sort of weaponry on her person. ]

Any assistance that can be offered in procuring a sword would be much appreciated.

Friends? I don't...I have never tried such a thing before. I am not sure I'm even capable of it.

[ This counts as a fair warning, yes? ]

Voice

[gekiken]

Well, being incapable of death doesn't prevent one from feeling pain, so torture is still a viable option...

voice;

[tenminutes]

Sure you are.

[ let yuri tell u how things are gonna be bc frankly she named a ninja assassin and then taught her really weird lines that were 'socially acceptable' about ramen noodles. ]

[tsunball]

[ ... Leon will pass on that one.. pl.. ease.. ]

It'd be pretty lame if I got out of there only to die of something else. [ The only worse possibility than his current situation, really.. ] So.. yeah, of course I got killed too because of that retarded bear! I bet he's not gonna leave anyone alive!

Voice

[junesprince]

I'm not sure I'd call anything that happens around here "torture"...

But I guess I haven't been here as long as some people have.

voice;

[gekiken]

It is not as simple as you make it sound, I assure you...

[ Although if you have experience with ninja assassins then maybe this will actually work out quite simply. ]

voice;

[tenminutes]

I had absolutely no friends when I was alive, so don't make me come over there and pound it into your head that it's possible. I'll do it!

[ Such a playful sounding threat.. ]

[gekiken]

[ Beggars shouldn't be choosers, Leon.... ]

I can't believe that. Surely some students must be allowed to escape with their lives, as every game must have victors.

Voice

[gekiken]

Perhaps not, but it would likely be wise to keep one's guard up, just in case.

voice;

[gekiken]

...I don't believe you could beat me in a fight.

[ Clearly the important take-away point here. ]

voice;

[tenminutes]

I don't really care to find out whether we would or wouldn't.

[ Yuri just finds ways to cheat to win if she's outmatched anyway. ]

The point of that statement was that I was giving you a hard time about saying it was impossible because I don't mind trying to be your friend. [ Gotta be very specific with this one, doesn't she? ]

voice;

[gekiken]

...Ah. [ Yeah, she's really not great at this stuff. ] Well then...if you are certain, Yurippe.

voice;

[tenminutes]

That's better~

[ Yuri can probably make friends with anyone eventually, it's her special skill... ]

[tsunball]

[ It's time to get out the sunscreen, huh.. ]

Do you really think he's gonna do that if he keeps going "despair" this, "despair" that?! He's a downright psycho, those don't leave people alive!

[gekiken]

[ You might only get your lower back done, considering his height...then again, maybe you only want the lower parts done. ]

If he truly wishes to cause despair, simply killing everyone is counter-productive. No, it would be more scarring to leave survivors, who must come to terms with their dead.

[tsunball]

Come to terms.. [ He scoffs. ]

Like anyone actually cares the people are dead! They're the ones who keep sending people into their graves!

[ Of course he knows they were just trying to save their skin as much as he was trying to save his, but he still can't help but feel a little bitter since.. well, it's Leon. ]

[gekiken]

I know that many of my fellow students took each death, whether murder or execution, quite badly.

[ After all, she can remember the aura of doom and gloom that had persisted after the first trial had finished. ]

We had different classmates, however, so perhaps it was not the same for you.

[tsunball]

.. Yeah, they totally gotta be different.

[ Granted, the fact that Celes was rubbing it in right before he died didn't help with that perception, so it's not like it's entirely Leon being biased.. just a huge part of it. ]

Although I guess the two from my class who're here aren't too bad.. Ishimaru's annoying as shit, but Fujisaki's cute and nice. [ Note: he has no idea Chihiro is a guy. N o i d e a. ]

Voice

[junesprince]

Yeah, that's definitely true. Better safe than sorry and all.

Oh, my name's Yosuke, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Peko-san.

Voice

[gekiken]

Ah...it is nice to meet you as well, Yosuke-san...

[ A little uncomfortable with that. What is this first-name-basis thing. ]
