Chapter 2, Daily life

To the ends we shall go hand in hand

I woke up with an aching back and a slight fever.

Should I still go to the food court? I might spread something...

I reached up to my forehead, about to check my temperature, but something was different...

I had bangs.

I'm not supposed to.

I panicked and ran to the mirror in my room, and then...

Ashlyn: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD OH NO OH-

The face in the mirror wasn't my face anymore.

Suddenly the was a loud banging on the door. And then the sound of it being kicked open. And when I looked at who had come in-

It was me.

The one that had kicked down the door was my body, and the body I was in now wasn't mine. It was Hanako's.

Ashlyn: Wait- WHO ARE YOU?

I still sounded like myself.

Hanako: ASHLYN THAT'S MY BODY-

And Hanako-Ashlyn still sounded like Hanako.

Ashlyn: AND THIS IS YOURS!

Hanako: WHY ARE YOU- WHY AM I- WHY ARE WE IN EACH OTHER'S BODIES

Ashlyn: HOW DID WE SWITCH???

And then there were more screams in the background.

Someone had come through my door.

It looked like Sophie, but it wasn't. At least the voice wasn't

Chloe: ASH AH SHIT HANAKO DID YOU GUYS-

Ashlyn: WE SWITCHED TOO!

And in came Tan Liang, supposedly.

Alyssa: IT'S ME ALYSSA! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS??? DID I SMOKE TOO MUCH YESTERDAY? EWWWWW

Ashlyn: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

And then came Sumana, or not.

Miyoshi: CALM DOWN! I'M PANICKING TOO!

Sumana: Oh my god I'm in Miyoshi's body!

Sumana: I'm in.. Miyoshi's body...

Miyoshi: Oh no- oh no no no-

Then came in Chloe-Sophie or whatever.

Sophie: What's going on?

Ashlyn: We've switched bodies!

Sophie: I don't care, come to the food court.

Chloe: Shouldn't we be solving this issue? You know? That issue?

Sumana: What issue?

We calmed ourselves down and headed to the food court, where we found the others.

Yu Xuan switched with Randi and Ashton had switched with Rachel. Hannan and Annan were no where to be found, but we assumed they were together and had switched with each other.

Rachel: So what are we going to do about this?

Randi: I say we get Monokuma. Hey Monokuma!

Monokuma appeared out of nowhere. As always.

Monokuma: Puhuhuhuhu! You called?

Randi: Yea, Why am I not in my body?

Monokuma: You don't know? It's the newwww... Motive!

Ashton: M- motive? You're making us do this again? No! We're not playing your sick games!

Monokuma: That's what they all say, then they get bloody!

Tan Liang: No! We're not doing this anymore!

Miyoshi: Shut up. How is this a motive? Why would we kill over this?

Monokuma: You see, there's a twist! When a body is discovered, you switch back, and if the blackened is found out, the body the blackened was in will be the one executed! Puhuhuhuhu, isn't that just so full of despair?

Chloe: Wait so if I kill Ashlyn, Sophie gets punished?

Monokuma: Yep! To make things easier, if you try to kill yourself, I've made it a rule that all of your family members will be executed with you! Isn't that fun?

Ashlyn: What- I-

Monokuma: Oh yes! I almost forgot about the time limit!

Yu Xuan: Hey! What bullshit are you saying? Time limit?

Monokuma: In three days, if there is no murder, your families will all be killed! Puhuhuhuhu!

Ashton: N- NO!

Monokuma: Yes! And if for example, Chloe in Sophie's body is killed, it'll still be Chloe who dies. However, since Sophie's body was the one hurt, she will be punished for not taking care of herself by having to remain in Chloe's body forever! This applies even if the killer kills the one with their body.

And like that, Monokuma disappeared.

Alyssa: What?? What do we do now?

Sophie: This is... Amusing.

Miyoshi: This motive means that we could easily kill sometime without getting executed. I could kill Alyssa right now and the one executed would be Sumana.

Rachel: This is dangerous...

Hanako: I think I have an idea. We should stay with the people we switched bodies with. This way we can't sabotage or kill anyone.

Chloe: So what do we do about the time limit???

Ashlyn: I.. don't know...

Hanako: I say we don't worry about that for now... Let's go look around the fourth floor. Maybe there's more Mastermind clues. The sooner we find the Mastermind the sooner we can escape.

Ashlyn: So we go in pairs? With the people we switched with?

Chloe: Dammit I gotta go with Sophie...

We all began to split up, and this time I went with Hanako. But someone stopped us.

???: Hey what's going on? Why did we switch bodies?

We turned back. It was Hannan.

Ashlyn: Oh hey, where's Annan?

Hannan: She's got a fever, I've been taking care of her this whole time.

Ashlyn: Oh.

Hannan: So? What's happening? Why am I in Annan's body?

We explained the motive to her.

Hannan: Oh no... Another motive??? That's not good... And with these rules, it's very dangerous. If someone is killed, someone would have to stay in the person's body.

Rachel: Yuh huh...

Hannan: So what do we do now? Annan's asleep, so I'm quite free.

Hanako: We plan to look around the fourth floor. We're going with the person we switched with, it's dangerous if we don't.

Hannan: But Annan-

Hanako: She'll be fine if you've locked her room door, you can come with Ash and I.

Hannan: Okay then. Let's go.

And so we left for real this time, Hannan coming along with Hanako and I.

The fourth floor looked just like the fifth floor, but there were different shops.

Floor plans for level 4, chapter 2:

Hanako: Let's start searching here first. If I'm not mistaken, this is a Japanese restaurant.

We entered the restaurant.

Tan Liang: No, shut up!

Alyssa: No you shut up! You look worse than Sumana and Sumana looks like a Cheeto!

Tan Liang: Mind your own business! Cabbage hair bitch.

Alyssa: WELL YOU'RE A COCONUT AND MUSHROOM HAIRED WEEB THAT READS HENTAI!

Ashlyn: What're you guys doing?

Alyssa: Searching-

Tan Liang: For where I asked.

Alyssa: You ugly scum bag idiot-

Tan Liang: You're a joke.

Alyssa: At least jokes are funny.

Hannan: Maybe you guys should go search somewhere else. Noisy...

Alyssa: Fine.

Alyssa and Tan Liang left the restaurant.

Ashlyn: Let's begin searching.
