《A Side Villain’s Ballad.》012 Thinking
Advertisement
Neidr had been through a lot since he got here, he smiled as he looked at Cito's body. His eyes lit up and he said,
"Finally, some time to think."[Neidr] Ever since he came to this world, he had experienced nothing but strife. Although, he had to admit that everything up to this point was his fault. He had thought himself clever, trying to escape to Rotham as quickly as possible. He had left a note, but had done nary another thing. After all, how could he explain the changes in his personality to his family? Neidr assumed after some time in Rotham the changes would explain themselves away. He could act however he liked here anyway, nobody knew the previous owner of the body.
Neidr just needed to do what he was best at now. Skirt by with nary a consequence. He had never had many grand ambitions, so being a noble was a welcome surprise to him. Especially the rank, the lower, the better. Who would fight with him for a backwoods territory? All he had to do was graduate this school and go back to live the rest of his life in ease.
However, Neidr scrunched his face. The death of Cito Mors was problematic. Although, that old fogey told Neidr and Arrieta they were the last to arrive, Neidr knew the truth. The protagonist would be transferred into the school shortly. It wasn't that the grumpy ol d man was trying to lie to him, rather, he didn't know. Higher ups had pulled some strings to pull this kid in. Well, that wasn't important.
Cito Mors was supposed to be his foil. The protagonist starts out naive, but his roommate Cito Mors cures him of that. This character was a huge factor in the increasingly gritty personality of the protagonist. Now, he was gone. Neidr stared at the corpse and began to think, would the protagonist's path change because of this? Then his mind circled back, Cito Mors was the Protag's roommate, right? Then...

'Won't the protagonist be rooming with me then?'
"Goddamn it."[Neidr] Neidr shook his head, it wasn't time to be thinking of such trivial things. Although, Rotham was lax, it wasn't really kill your roommate lax. If he disappeared, they wouldn't look into it, but don't make it obvious. Neidr proceeded to stomp and crush Mors's bones. Bored, Neidr began to hum a tune using the backdrop of crunching bones as a beat. Only satisfied once it felt as though there were no more bones to break, Neidr emptied a bag, and stuffed the corpse into it. Zipping it up, he made his way back to the portal. Aside from his thought about how to deal with the future, Neidr was in a relatively good mood as he walked down the aisles with a bag hanging on his back. His footsteps felt light, and he had the urge to sing, but that was soon sucked back into his subconscious.
"00960, I've been lookin' all over for ya!"[Arrieta] Neidr stiffened for a moment,
'who the hell is looking for me?' Turning around, he saw Arrieta's familiar face.
'Shit, woman, don't you have better things to do than track me down? I'm kinda busy.'
"Ah, Arrieta, how is the Academy treating you?"[Neidr] She squinted her eyebrows for a second, but then broke out in a smile,
"Real good, you?"[Arrieta] Neidr responded automatically,
"Good."[Neidr] Arrieta slapped his shoulder and said,
"I was kinda rude last time, everthin' happening, forgot to ask yer name."[Arrieta] Neidr threw a casual glance at her, and merely replied,
"Oh, is that so?" [Neidr] Arrieta furrowed her brows again, but then smiled,
"Yep, yep, so, what is it?"[Arrieta]
"What is what?"[Neidr] Arrieta stomped her foot on the floor and yelled,

"Your name, what's your name, dammit!?"[Arrieta] Neidr couldn't hold back a chuckle at that outburst, he calmly responded,
"You didn't have to yell, just ask next time."[Neidr]
"I did and you know it!"[Arrieta] Neidr gave out a low chuckle and said,
"My name is Neidr."[Neidr]
"That's a weird name."[Arrieta] Neidr rolled his eyes at her and said,
"You asked."[Neidr] Arrieta ignored him and changed the topic,
"Whatcha doin?"[Arrieta] Neidr half wanted to annoy this girl further, but didn't really want her hanging around too much.
"I'm going to Rotham to throw something away."[Neidr] Arrieta tilted her head, and said,
"You don't have to go that far."[Arrieta] She pointed towards a trashcan in the hallway. Niedr's lip twitched,
"It's quite personal for me, I don't want anyone to see. It's embarrassing."[Neidr] Arrieta threw on a sly expression and said,
"Oh, what is it? Love letters?"[Arrieta] Neidr threw a contemplative glance towards her and said,
"Yeah, something like that, but there is metal too. I'd like to melt it."[Neidr] Arrieta's face turned red and she said,
"Aren't those important memories for you?"[Arrieta] Neidr contemplated for a bit and said,
"They were." [Neidr]Arrieta nodded her head as if she understood and run up in front of him. She waved at him, urging him forward and said,
"Follow me, I know a good place."[Arrieta] Neidr decided to oblige the girl and followed her for ten minutes when they came across a circular room. It had eight entrances and only a deep abyss like hole in the center surrounded by a small fence. Arrieta ran forward, grabbed the railing and looked down. She said in a low voice,
"My roommate showed me this, it's super-duper handy for getting rid of things.
"[Arrieta] Her arms started to shake , but she continued to look into the pit. After a moment of silence, she turned around with a smile on her face and said,
"At least that's what I was told. Apparently, the school has cast a continuous fire magic in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the tower, but that's just hearsay."[Arrieta] Walking up the hole, Neidr could feel the heat. Looking down, he could see the scorched black walls that descended thousands of feet, ending in a dark blue fire seemingly trying to eat its way further into the abyss. Neidr smiled and threw the bag into the pit. He looked over to Arrieta and said,
"Many thanks, I owe you a couple of favors now. Ask for anything within reason and within my capabilities." [Neidr]Arrieta puffed up her cheeks and said,
"That wasn't very smooth, what a ladies man you turned out to be."[Arrieta]
"It wasn't supposed to be."[Neidr]
'Oh, I said that out loud.'

Cornucopia of Hope
The graduating class of Hope's Peak Academy has been kidnapped sometime after their graduation ceremony. They wake up in a beautiful, plush mansion with no idea where they could be other than the name Our Mansion of Plenty. The physical barriers of steel plates and locked doors might not be enough to cage them, if it weren't for the malicious mechanical fairy calling itself The Fey and ruling their new lives with an iron--albeit tiny--fist. While being kidnapped is bad enough, the fact that this fairy brat is telling them to kill each other is definitely worse. Apparently, murdering one of your fellow victims is the only way to get out of this luxurious mansion. But nobody would do that...right? Cornucopia of Hope is a non-canon killing game completely alienated from the the canon universe of the Danganronpa games. The things borrowed from the games are as followed: Hope's Peak Academy, and the structure of 16ish hyper-skilled teenagers trapped in an enclosed space and being subjected to a motive, a murder, an investigation, a trial, and an execution of the presumed killer. There are no spoilers, tie ins, or previous knowledge required of the series to read this story!
