Danganronpa: Cosmic Killing

New Home - Chapter I

                        At that moment, everything was hazy. My hand was glued to my head as it ached with intense pain, my eyes blinking several times as it shifted around to what seemed like a spaceship. To my left, there was a wide window, I shuffled to my feet and stepped up to it and tried to gaze out, though all I could see was total emptiness. My muscles became tense, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe, as if the whole world - well space - paused. I gasped, catching my breath as I stepped away from the window, my eyes wide open. I paced back and forth, my shoes clanking along the metal floor as my eyes remained on the ground. At that point, I realized, this was my new home. 

                         Just then, a question crossed my mind, "Is there anyone else here?", I looked around and I saw one path, leading down a narrow corridor. I gave a cautious shrug, knowing that that was my only exit. I continued down the corridor, walking down its many twists and turns until I came out to what seemed to be a common area, with bookshelves and tables with desktops laid upon them. As I walked through it, more questions began to cross my mind, "Is this the school we applied to?" he'd mumble softly, his eyes peering around before settling on a streamer that hung across the common room, reading 'Touro University International', the school where students with incredible talent enroll to set up the best future for themselves. Just then my ears began to twitch slightly, my eyes quickly moving to look at a door at the side of the room. I was able to hear a soft murmur coming from the room, causing me to draw closer to the distant sound. As I stepped closer, I was able to clearly hear the voice, though I couldn't make out the words. I reached the door, my arm hesitating to reach out and open the door briefly before firmly grabbing the door and pulling it open, revealing a group of other students, fifteen to be exact.

                       Fifteen students stood before, their eyes finding their way to me as I entered the room, their conversations cut short. I offered a nervous smile, my eyes flickering around the room to each person. "There's another one" blurted out a shy boy, his words cutting through the silence. "Yes, there seems to be sixteen of us in total" a young boy would say, he had been seating in a desk that had been in the room. "I'm guessing you gave no clue why we hear either" asked a tall male, his expression seeming annoyed. "Hopefully he's not a stuck up dork, I don't have time for people like that" a sassy girl would state, casually picking at her cuticles in boredom. I felt as if I've been attacked as if everyone was judging me. I still had no idea why I was here, but I decided to go around and introduce myself. I nervously shuffled around the room, stopping at a young boy who had been reading a poster on the wall, I taped his shoulder. "Yes" he'd reply, looking to Nathan "Oh! You must be the newcomer, I'm Josh. the Ultimate Farmer, and I'm the best at growing potatoes! Potatoes are amazing!" He'd say rather enthusiastically. "I'm Nathan, just the Ultimate Scientist" I'd reply hesitantly, keeping my posture stiff. Josh gave a brief nod, wandering off, looking at the posters. I blinked a few times, shocked by his sudden departure. I gazed around the room, my eyes catching the attention of a guy who had been playing on his laptop, I walked over to him. As I approached him, I saw how fast his hands were moving as he used his mouse, I cleared my throat. He looked up to me, his hands moving frantically though his eyes continued to look up to me, he replied "Yes?". My eyes remained on his hand for a moment before moving to his face, "Uhm... I just wanted to introduce myself" I replied, my voice slightly shaky. "Oh. I'm Eli, the Ultimate Simmer" he introduced. "Oh, you play that game where you control people and make them do what you want," I said. "No! It's not just a game, you care for these people, you clothe them, feed them, shower them. I'm their caretaker!" he'd retort, his eyes seeming to narrow onto mine. "And who may you be.." he'd ask, his eyes remaining on mine. "I-I'm Nathan, Ultimate Scientist" I'd reply, my words coming out nervously. "Oh, you're such a boring  Ultimate!" he scoffed, bringing his full attention back to his laptop screen. I gave a small shrug, looking around the room to approach a guy who had been trying to look out into the darkness that laid behind the thick, clear windows. I approached him, tapping his shoulder, he turned around. "Hey there!" he said rather enthusiastically. "Hey." I replied "Strange, right. I noticed the weird location when I first woke up." I'd say softly, lowering my voice. "Yeah. It's strange. And before I came here, I did a bit of searching and I found this." he'd say, producing a small pamphlet from his pocket "This is the school we all applied to: 'Touro University International', but from the look of this picture, this looks like earth, with land." he'd relay to me. "Huh. That's really weird.." I'd softly murmur to myself "Anyways, I'm Nathan, the Ultimate Scientist." I introduced once more. "I'm Alex, the Ultimate Scout" he'd introduce as well. I began to think to myself, seeing he was a scout, he must be good at sneaking around. Must explain why he was snooping around instead of actually trying to find others.
