-DANGANRONPA CYBERSPACE PROLOGUE: PART 2-
Haruki: [Kiki and I walk over to the girl who’s pen got dropped into the fiery pit.]
Haruki: [She was standing there writing in a notepad.]
Haruki: Hello, I’m-
???: Haruki Douzono, Ultimate Cyborg, and your friend, Kiki Gunji, Ultimate Beekeeper. Noted.
Kiki: Right on the money!! You must’ve heard us, huh??
???: Yes.
…
Haruki: [There was a pause.]
Haruki: […Uh, I’ll try to keep the conversation going.]
Haruki: So, what’s your Name and Ultimate?
Kiki: We hive a right to know!!
Haruki: …and I beelieve that we should.
Kiki: Hehehehe!!! I’m rubbing off on you!!!
Haruki: …yeah, a bit.
Alexandra: Alexandra Bolotin. Ultimate Astrophysicist. Hi.
…
Haruki: [There was another pause.]
Haruki: [Okay, this girl really wants us to stop talking.]
Haruki: K-
Kiki: Soooo, whatcha discovered??
Alexandra: The fiery pit of hell, and that I liked that pen.
Alexandra: That’s what you all need from me.
Alexandra: Conversation is over, nice to meet you.
Haruki: [She very politely bowed at us both and walked to a nearby bench, still scribbling on her notebook.]
Kiki: Do we have a reputation??? Is that why she was so ready to leave us be??
Haruki: Don’t you mean…
Haruki: …leave us bee?
Kiki: Even I have my limits Haruki!!
Haruki: [Crap, and I thought I was doing something.]
Haruki: [Kiki and I approached the boy with the phone.]
Haruki: [He was snapping pictures and spouting random internet slang.]
Haruki: [The last time I used a phone, ROFL was still relevant.]
Kiki: Hiii!!!
???: Hey, OMG HRU BFF?
Kiki: ALR, HBU??
???: Okay, so you’re online, you’re cool enough to talk with me.
???: But…
Haruki: [He turns to me as I was still trying to decipher what Kiki said.]
Haruki: Huh?
???: L + Ratio, OMG, fallen off incel.
Haruki: …excuse me..?
???: And you’re not online, so I really don’t care about you!
Haruki: [Ratio? What? Is this math? Was he spitting straight math equations at me?]
Haruki: [He turned back to Kiki, beaming.]
???: So girlie, tell me about you!!
Kiki: Well, I’m Kiki Gunji, Ultimate Beekeeper, and this is my bestie, Haruki Douzono! He’s an Ultimate, too!!
???: Ultimate Hermit, I’m guessing? Nehehehe.
Kiki: HEY!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!
???: AH-!
Haruki: [He jumped back, startled by Kiki’s sudden shout.]
Haruki: I’m the Ultimate Cyborg, actually.
??? (Waku): Rewind, rewind, rewindddd.
??? (Waku): CYYYYYYBORG?
Haruki: …yes. I very clearly said cyborg.
Haruki: [He whipped out it’s phone, and began snapping picture after picture of me.]
Haruki: [I just stood there and awkwardly smiled. I didn’t know what else to do.]
???: Woah woah woahhhh!! My fans are going to looooove this!
???: They’ll totally see you as a cute soft killer robot. You’re gonna slay.
Haruki: [Ah yes, more words that I can’t even guess what they mean.]
Kiki: Fans? Are you an idol??
???: Kindaaaa!! Let’s play a game! Guess what my Ultimate is!!!
Haruki: [He pulled up music on his phone, and began to play the Jeopardy theme.]
Haruki: My guess is…Ultimate Influencer?
Kiki: Oh! Mine is the Ultimate Spokesperson!
???: WRONGGGGG!! Skill issue.
Kiki: Hey!!
Haruki: …what she said. I’m upset too.
???: You guys are no fun! Here, I’ll just tell you what my name is.
Waku: Waku Hayashi is the name, being the Ultimate Geologist is my name! Otherwise known as RockinRain on PikPok. Yeah, that RockinRain!
. . .
Haruki: [It became clear very fast that Kiki and I had no clue who this guy was.]
Waku: Y’all, you’re serious? You have never ever ever heard of RockinRain?!
Kiki: Nope. Don’t have PikPok.
Haruki: Was too poor to afford a phone.
Waku: Lemme clue you guys in then. I basically conduct all my geologistic studies on streams, and those streams are CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!
Waku: And for you, Haruki, that means they were really good.
Kiki: Cool!! Do your fans know you’re at Hope’s Peak??
Waku: Totes! Opened my letter on the stream and everything!
Waku: …might be getting doxed as we speak, but hey! All for the clout, baby!
Haruki: Doesn’t streaming all the time sound kinda dangerous?
Haruki: Like, what if someone finds out where you are from your streams?
Kiki: …yeahhhh, he does have a point-
Waku: Who cares! As long as I keep my fame then I’ll be a shooting starrrr!
Haruki: You can’t be a shooting star if you’re dead.
Kiki: …
Waku: …
Haruki: …
Haruki: …sorry, I don’t know why I said that…
Waku: Yeah, now you’ve really fallen off. Later!
Waku: Follow RockinRain on PikPok!!
Haruki: [He snaps a quick picture of Kiki and I before darting off.]
Haruki: Crap, we never asked what he found.
Kiki: It’s okay!! I don’t think he would’ve cared about it anyway.
Kiki: And Haruki-
Kiki: …are you okay?
…
Haruki: [No. Absolutely not. What Waku said about not caring about the consequences of it’s streams…]
Haruki: [Tosses itself in harms way just to be famous…just risking so much…]
Haruki: [I wasn’t fine. I wasn’t okay. But I didn’t say that. Instead I said-]
Haruki: Yeah, just had a moment. Let’s keep moving!
Kiki: Yeah!!
Haruki: [Kiki and I walk over to a small, sweet looking girl.]
Haruki: [She’s checking her pocket watch, and as soon as we walk up to her, she turns around, and smiles.]
Haruki: [The way she moves, it’s almost robotic. Or as if ever move she makes is planned.]
???: Ah! What wonderful timing! I have been expecting youuuu, hehe!
Haruki: You have?
???: Of course! I have been watching you two make rounds to everyone!
???: I am quite glad I’m next! I’ve been eagerly waiting for your arrival, hmhmhm!
Kiki: You’re…cool!! Cool stuff!!
Haruki: [Look at Kiki go, not starting a fight in the first few seconds!]
Haruki: Well, I’m guessing you know our names and ultimates too?
???: Indeed! Kiki, the pretty, bubbly beekeeper, and Haruki, the strong, dashing cyborg!
Kiki: Awwww, thank you!! You’re pretty yourself!!
???: Oh, little old me? No! I am simply a small girl in a big world! Heh!
Haruki: …wait.
Kiki: What is it??
Haruki: Your voice…do you do talk shows?
???: I do! Yes! Do you recognize me yet?
Haruki: …
Haruki: …
Haruki: …no, lost it, sorry.
Haruki: [And the two stared at me as if I was a moron. Yeah. I look dumb right now.]
Kiki: It’s okay, Haruki, it’s okay-
Haruki: I know, I just embarrassed myself…
???: Hmhmhmhm! You look like a fool! But at least your silver distracts from it!
Haruki: …thanks. I appreciate that.
Kiki: He doesn’t like being a cyborg, so don’t bring it up, THANKS!!
???: Awww, I’m sorry! I apologize!
Haruki: [She curtsies, a smile still upon her face.]
Haruki: [She either has no idea what’s making me upset, or knows and loves torturing me.]
Haruki: […eh, she could be Tomoki.]
Kiki: MOVING ON!!
Kiki: Wanna introduce yourself??
Asaha: Oh My! I was having so much fun, I nearly forgot! I am Asaha Isobe, Ultimate Living Doll! I wonder if that shall ring a bell, hmhmhmhm!
Haruki: [That’s it!]
Haruki: Wonder, the Living Doll! The Internet Sensation!
Asaha: I knew you would get it! So clever, dearie!
Kiki: Heyyyy, Haruki, no offense, you’re my friend and all, but like…
Kiki: …don’t you kinda live under a rock?? How do you know her???
Haruki: Oh, she was on a talk show with her mom, and I just happened to see it.
Haruki: …I guess that episode is a core memory or something?
Asaha: Oh…my mother…
…
Asaha: Hahahaha! What a lovely woman! She made me who I was today!
Haruki: [That uncomfortably long pause makes me think she doesn’t see her as very lovely.]
Haruki: [But that’s none of my business.]
Kiki: Isn’t this awesome, Haruki?? We’re classmates with two internet sensations!!
Haruki: It is kinda cool, but at the end of the day, we’re all human, right?
Haruki: Fame isn’t everything.
Asaha: Speaking of us all being equals…would you like an autograph?
Haruki: …did you hear what I just said?
Kiki: Autographs aside, I really do like your skirt!! And your outfit!! And your face!!
Kiki: You’re really cute, actually!!
Asaha: Awww, you flatter me! Thank you! Thank you!
Haruki: [Kiki continued to flatter her, but halfway through, she stared at me.]
Haruki: [Her purple eyes bore into me, into my soul, through my metal, through my skin…]
…
Kiki: Haruki? HARUKI!!
Haruki: AH!
Kiki: You good?? You kinda stared into space, and beecame a ghost for a second!!
Asaha: Yes! Are you okay, dearie?
Haruki: […what just happened?]
Haruki: Yeah, I’m okay, Uh, Uhm-
Asaha: You want to know what I’ve found! Ehehehe! I have a surprise!
Haruki: [She gestures towards her hair.]
Haruki: [What exactly did she find?]
Kiki: What’s the surprise!!
Asaha: My hair has grown. As a Living Doll, I keep everything about my appearance documented. And…my hair has grown exactly 2 centimeters! Hehehe!
Kiki: So, what you’re saying is we could’ve been out longer than we thought??
Asaha: Exactly! Possibly even weeks! Isn’t that fun?
Haruki: Not really, but thanks for bringing that up. It’s really important info.
Kiki: Yeah, thanks!!
Asaha: Of cou- oh my!
Haruki: [She pauses, and robotically grabs her watch. She makes an expression of shock.]
Asaha: Why, you are late! Off you go! Introduce yourself! We must make quick time!
Kiki: Uhhh, okay!! B-
Asaha: Ta-Ta! Don’t fall down the rabbit hole!
Haruki: [She begins waving while we stand there.]
Haruki: [Kiki goes to say more, but she just keeps waving.]
Haruki: Uh…Bye, Asaha.
Haruki: [We slowly walk away.]
Haruki: Do you think she’s an actual doll?
Kiki: I thought she was an animatronic, to be honest!!
Haruki: [Kiki and I walk over to a tan guy wearing sunglasses.]
Haruki: [He’s just standing there holding a stick with fire on it to the glass.]
Haruki: [He looks bored out of his mind.]
???: Jeeeez, why is this taking so long? Is this glass frickin’ fireproof?!
Haruki: Hey-
Haruki: [He whips his head around. It seems at the sound of my voice, his entire demeanor changed.]
???: Heyyyyy! God, someone’s finally talking to me!
???: I’ve been sitting here for god knows how long, and two cuties decide to come over and chat with me? Bullseye!
Kiki: Thanks, but how’d you get fire in here???
???: Oh, matches.
Kiki: How’d you get matches here???
???: Uh…
???: …dunno.
Haruki: Anyway, can you tell us who you are and what your Ultimate is?
Hinato: Sureee, why not. I’m Hinato Funaki, Ultimate Fire Dancer. Careful, if you touch me you might get a third degree burn. I’m sizzling.
Haruki: [He winked, and believe me when I tell you, Kiki and I both swooned.]
Haruki: Hey, can you give us a sec?
Hinato: Alright, take your time.
Haruki: [I quickly pull Kiki to the side.]
Haruki: You felt that too, right?
Kiki: YEAH!! HE IS HOT!!
Haruki: …now I’m too nervous to talk to him, can you handle most of it?
Kiki: Okayyyy, but if I stop mid sentence, then we bail.
Haruki: Got it.
Haruki: [We turned back to Hinato, who was back at the glass.]
Kiki: Okay, we’re good!!
Hinato: Huh? Oh, sick. Sooo, tell me, whatcha need?
Kiki: We’re just introducing ourselves and stuff!! And uh, I beelieve you’re really cute!!
Kiki: So does Haruki!!
Haruki: KIKI!
Kiki: SORRY!!
Hinato: Ohhh, so you think I’m sexy, huh? Cool.
Hinato: Here, since I think you both are just so sweet for that, lemme give you a show.
Haruki: Show?
Hinato: A litte performance. Just sit back and watch, baby!
Haruki: [He lit both sides of his fire stick, and began to spin it rapidly, switching it from hand to hand.]
Haruki: [Then, at the climax of his act, he tosses the stick into the air, catching it with his teeth!]
Haruki: [He takes the fire stick into his hand, and bows. Kiki and I both clap.]
Haruki: [Great, we’re swooning again.]
Kiki: WOOOOO!! WHAT A TALENT!!!
Haruki: That was awesome, Hinato!
Hinato: Awww, you’re so cute, both of you.
Kiki: Hehehehehe…
Haruki: [Uh-oh, Kiki’s down.]
Haruki: [Wait, wait I gotta ask him if he found anything-]
Haruki: Hey, Uhm…Hinato…did you…
Haruki: Find anything?
Haruki: [Yeah, that was smooth, wasn’t it.]
Hinato: Ohhh, Yeah, no. I totally didn’t.
Hinato: I’m not the brightest bulb in the pack, so…
Hinato: I’m tryin’ to melt the glass.
Haruki: …hm.
Haruki: [That sounds pretty stupid, if I’m being honest.]
Kiki: What a himbo!!
Hinato: A what?
Kiki: Hehehehe!!
Haruki: [We need to get out of here before I get all giggly too.]
Haruki: We gotta go…introduce ourselves…bye!
Hinato: Awww, alright, alright. If you want another show, honey, just tell Funaki, okay?
Haruki: [He winks.]
Haruki: […hot.]
Haruki: [Gah! Eye on the prize, Haruki!]
Haruki: [I grab Kiki’s hand, and bolt out of there before we both can swoon anymore.]
Haruki: [Kiki and I walked over to a taller, fashionable girl.]
Kiki: Ohhh, cute jumpsuit!!
???: Awww, Grazie, grazie.
Kiki: Here, okay I have an idea!!
Haruki: Hm?
Kiki: I bet I can guess what your Ultimate is!!
Haruki: [Okay, she’s spicing it up, I can do that.]
???: Hm, okay. Go ahead, try to guess.
Kiki: …Fashionista?
???: Nope. Not even close.
Kiki: WHAT?!
Kiki: YOU AREN’T A FASHION ULTIMATE?!?
???: No, I’m not into anything cosmetic.
Kiki: Ughhhh…I’m out of ideas…
???: Awww, pech.
Haruki: Oh, I know!
Haruki: Tourist!
…
Haruki: [She looked at me as if I was the rudest man alive.]
Haruki: [Shit.]
???: Okay, you two are the stupid. No offense, but you are idiots.
Kiki: RUDE!!
Haruki: Yeah.
???: I’m teasing, I’m teasing. Sorry, eolin-i.
Kiki: Okayyy, okay.
Haruki: We’re Haruki Douzono and Kiki Gunji, by the way. A beekeeper and a cyborg.
???: If we played guess your Ultimate, I would’ve been here for hours.
Haruki: [She rolled her eyes, obviously sarcastic.]
Haruki: [Mm, or is she teasing? I really don’t care, I’m getting a bit tired.]
Miliani: I’ll stop, I’ll stop. I’m Miliani Kealoha, Ultimate Interpreter. Bonjour, Hello, Hola, Aloha, and Nihao.
Haruki & Kiki: Ohhhhhhhh.
Miliani: Yeah, I thought grazie gave it away.
Kiki: It should’ve, man I’m dumb…
Haruki: No, you had a good guess.
Miliani: Don’t be too down, Kiki. You had passion, and it’s the thought, or the guess, that counts.
Kiki: Awww, thanks!!
Haruki: Anyway, Miliani, have you made any discoveries?
Miliani: Not a trap door or a hell hole, but lingual discoveries.
Kiki: Lingual??
Miliani: Mhm. You’ve noticed everyone is speaking in Japanese, right?
Haruki: Yes?
Miliani: Everyone is speaking Japanese. Even the Russian, the American, and the Romanian.
Miliani: This means everyone knows Japanese, but that’s kinda weird, since we’re all Hope Peak freshman.
Miliani: We all just got here, but everyone is speaking perfectly fluent Japanese.
Miliani: Even if they managed to cram all of that Japanese in, there is no way they would be completely perfect in their dialect.
Miliani: So, we’ve been here for a while.
Kiki: Woahhh, a while? Must’ve been like a year or two!! Japanese is hardddd!
Miliani: Tell me about it. I spent a single week becoming fluent, and I’m still sort of lost. Me, the Ultiamte Interpreter.
Haruki: [Wow, a single week? That’s insane!]
Haruk: [But, I trust her word. If we take what she says at face value, then we’ve been here for a year.]
Haruki: [The plot thickens.]
Haruki: Thanks for your help, Miliani. You’re brilliant.
Miliani: I know.
Kiki: Hey, wanna teach me Polish sometime??
Miliani: After we get out of here.
Haruki: Kiki, you already promised to practice cheerleading, how many things are you going to do?
Kiki: EVERYTHING!
Haruki: Hah, let’s go, Kiki.
Miliani: Au revoir and Arrivederci!
Haruki: [Kiki and I walk over to a guy wearing a long, red cape.]
Haruki: [He was holding…a glass of wine?]
???: Urghh…
Kiki: Hi!!
???: AH!
Haruki: [He jumped, nearly spilling his wine.]
Haruki: [Where have I seen that before?]
???: I am sorry…I am jumpy…I suppose…
Kiki: Hey, it’s okay!!
Kiki: And nice cape!!
???: …I got it from a costume store…
Kiki: Haha, yeah, they exist.
…
Haruki: We’re Kiki and Haruki. Beekeeper and Cyborg.
???: Mhm…
Haruki: [He looked deeply uncomfortable with us.]
Haruki: [I’ll just get his name and Ultimate and move on.]
Haruki: Uh, what’s your name and Ultimate?
Decebel: …I am a Romanian man named Decebel Albu…my Ultimate is not important to me, so you do not need to hear it.
Kiki: Can you tell us your Ultimate anyway?? It’s cool to know stuff about other people!!
Decebel: …no, apologies.
Haruki: No problem.
…
…
…
Kiki: We’re just gonna, uhm, go over here. Bye!!
Haruki: [Kiki walks away, embarrassed.]
Haruki: Uh, are you okay?
Decebel: I am anxious, apologies, Haruki…
Decebel: Could you leave me be now?
Decebel: …please?
Haruki: Yeah. If you need anything, we’ll be around.
Haruki: [He turned away as I joined Kiki.]
Kiki: I think he’s just shy…
Haruki: Very shy…
Haruki: I don’t think he’ll like the rest of the people here, then.
Kiki: Eh, that cape can do anything!!
Haruki: …like hide wine stains.
Haruki: [Kiki and I walk over to a very buff lady who’s wailing on the glass.]
Haruki: [Each of her punches lands with what feels like a shockwave, until eventually she stops.]
Haruki: [She sighs, putting her hands on her hips, stumped.]
Haruki: [This woman is insane, she’s not even breaking a sweat!]
Kiki: Hey! Whatcha doing??
???: Huh?
Haruki: [She turns around, and gently smiles.]
???: Sorry, didn’t see ya there.
Haruki: Your punches…they’re awesome!
Kiki: Second!! You're like a BEAST!!
???: Beast was my nickname in high school, hahahaha!
Kiki: It should be more like jellyfish, cuz you float and sting like one!!
Haruki: [As the lady laughed at Kiki’s praise, I smiled. I feel comfortable around her.]
Haruki: [Even though she could snap my neck with ease…]
Haruki: […I still feel like she’s the most trustworthy person here.]
Kiki: So, what’s your name and Ultimate??
Haruki: And do you need us to introduce ourselves?
???: Nope. Lil’ Miss Beekeeper isn’t very quiet.
Kiki: Ehehehe-
Ouki: As for me, I’m Ouki Wakamatsu, Ultimate Crossing Guard. I work for the good of the people, and protect the future people.
Haruki & Kiki: Crossing Guard?
Ouki: I get that a lot. I just work out. Got a lotta people to protect.
Kiki: You sound too noble!! You’re totally beerillaint!
Haruki: Okay, Kiki, that was a bit of a stretch-
Kiki: I’ve already used up all the good ones!!
Ouki: It’s alright, Hun, A for effort.
Kiki: She called me Hun!!!
Haruki: [Keeping this conversation on track.]
Haruki: Hey, Ms. Wakamatsu, have y-
Ouki: Ms. Wakamatsu? Hey, no formalities.
Haruki: Sorry, it’s just that-
Haruki: [She reminded me of a nice scientist.]
Haruki: [But out loud, I told her-]
Haruki: You seem like a respectable teacher.
Ouki: Aren’t you sweet? Well, no Ms. or Mr.. Just Ouki, Mk?
Haruki: […women.]
Haruki: Definitely, Ouki.
Kiki: Haruki’s in LOOOV-
Haruki: S-SHUT UP!
Haruki: [Like she’s any better!]
Haruki: A-Anyway, Ouki, have you found out anything that could help our situation?
Ouki: I think I know something. The glass is incredibly strong.
Ouki: I was pullin’ out all the stops on that glass, but nothing. Whoever’s here wants to keep us here.
Kiki: I’d say it’s bulletproof or something!! Nobody’s been able to make a dent…
Haruki: Okay, I’ve concluded my theory.
Haruki: We’ve been kidnapped.
Ouki: Sadly, that’s what everything’s pointin’ too.
Kiki: But it’s okay, we can band together!
Kiki: AND BEAT THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF THIS EVIL MASTERMIND!! AHAHAHA!!
Haruki: [Kiki, you are a different breed.]
Haruki: Right, well that’s all we need from you. Thanks for talking to us, Ouki.
Ouki: No problem. I’ll be here for the both of you, I swear.
