"...Colours fade in and out, weaving into a vibrant quilt with the threads of trust and betrayal, love and hate, life and death. Stitch by stitch, drawings take their first breath and patterns create themselves. Yarn shades the sky and colourful buttons become the people of this land, with the many shapes and sizes they came in. That was how our world came to be; it was an artistic masterpiece was carved by the hands of various sculptors, shaping the planet what we call Earth as it is today…" She whispered, fingers trailing over the dimly lit words in a book, the rusted torch flickering slightly. Her eyes shone with childish awe and wonder, filled with twinkling stars. Then she suddenly frowned, anger bursting into flames as the girl threw the novel in a fit, "How stupid!"
The item collided with a bubble gum pink wall, making a resounding thud as it fell to the floor. She glared daggers at the book which laid innocently on the ground, "It's not fair, it's not fair..."
Crawling off the bed, the teenager stomped her way across the room to pick the book up. She grabbed it, her glossy red finger nails clawing at the cover as she began ripping out pages and scrunching them into littles balls, muttering curses. Stupid book. Stupid author. Stupid human. Stupid world. Why didn't they understand, nothing of that mattered, not when you had–
"Junko? Are you okay?" By the door peered a girl with sleek, short black hair. Freckles lightly dusted her pale face as she looked at her twin sister, concerned.
"Of course. I'm just fine," Junko snapped, tearing at another piece of paper. The big, red shape of a heart practically beamed in the centre, bright and shining, mocking her for the one thing she couldn't have. She ripped it apart into shreds, feeling satisfied as pieces of scrap quickly piled up into a lump of trash on the glossy tiles, "Just fine,"
Mukuro glanced around at the bedroom, thrashed with stationary lying carelessly on the ground and blankets pulled off the bed. A glass vase had toppled off the desk and broke, specks of glass burrowing a single thorned rose. The floor was covered in torn papers and scrunched up so tightly, she couldn't make out what was originally inked on them.
"I assume the preparations have been completed, right?" Junko interrupted the solider from her observation, who blinked at the sudden question, "Right?"
"T-they have,"
"Huh. And the Ultimate Despairs?"
"Following their orders and are currently in hiding on Jabberwock Island," Mukuro answered cooly, regaining her composure.
"Good job," Junko half-heartedly praised, flopping onto the mattress of her bed, "Well, it's about time we got a bit of fun. After the whole take-over-the-world, nothing seems to please me anymore..."
The younger twin knelt down to the ground and started gathering the rubbish in a empty plastic bag found lying on the ground, eying the scattered words across the different pieces. A plain yellow folder caught her attention from the corner of her eye. Mukuro held it up, lightly dusting off the worn cardboard, "Uh, Junko?"
"What is it?" Her sister growled as she sat up, tugging at her strawberry blonde pigtails in irritation.
"This is…" The title read in blaring bold letters 'FUTURE PLANS' with a little sticky note on the bottom corner. The girl had to squint in order to make out the scripted words; 'The next despairing scheme, XX29'
Junko seized the folder out of her hands, quickly reading the first page before tossing the whole thing into the air immediately afterwards, "Oh that. Just some random ideas for our next assignment,"
Papers flooded the already covered the floor like a sheet of snow and not an inch of granite could be seen. Mukuro scanned through the words and photos, "These are… profiles of people,"
She held up a random information report. The picture on the top left corner showed a girl with plain black hair let down with red-rimmed glasses. Reina Kimura the Ultimate... Textile Technician?
"Moron. Not just people, these guys are Ultimates just like us. They'll be… very important in the future," Junko mused, looking down at a particular face, "Especially this one,"
The other girl frowned, "Who?"
"Doesn't matter! Now shoo! You're in the way of my beauty sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be the big day; you better get all dolled up before then 'cause frankly, you look disgusting. Bye-bye!" Hastily, the Ultimate Fashionista pushed her twin out, slamming the door closed. Oh, she couldn't wait for morning to come! Then, her marvelous killing game with her beloved classmates would finally begin! Still…
Junko began looking through the paperwork which had been cast away, plans formulating themselves in her complicated mind; the colours of the rainbow, the sky scrapper walls, the puzzles and the killings, the executions! Ahh, she could just feel the despair!
"Hmm… it'll have to wait for later through," Clicking her ball-point pen, she scribbled a couple of words onto the cover before placing it into a grey, metal filing cabinet. With that, Junko turned off the lights.

'Junko's Little Big Nation Project'
[11:05, 03/10/XX28]
Wheezes filled the room as a person coughed. Gosh, this place was so dusty–why the hell did he send them here again?
"Huh?" They muttered at no one, looking into the drawer. It was empty, save for tons of dust mites and a plain, yellow folder. Picking the artefact up, they opened the cover. There was nothing in it.
Flipping to the other side, on the pale cardboard cover, barely ineligible words were written; Junko's... Nation Project?
That name. This place. You didn't need to be intelligent to connect the dots. The folder must have belonged to Junko–if it's empty, it might've mean someone took whatever paper was in it. But then why would they leave the cover?
With a grim face, they picked it up and stored it in their suitcase.
A/N: Hello! This is my first SYOC Fanfiction, Danganronpa: Melancholic Calamity. Including my own OC, I will have 18 Ultimates in this story–you can find the rules and submission form below (and on my profile). Depending the situation I may have to add more/subtract the amount of participants.
The prompt of my Fanfiction is 'Cause and Effect' rather than 'Hope or Despair' and 'Lies VS Truth' (as mentioned in the summary), which I hope will add a twist to your normal SYOC Danganronpa Fanfiction. If you have any questions regarding that or anything else, be sure to ask me and I'll answer ASAP.
Now, onto what you've been waiting for!

–THE RULES–
1. This is pretty standard but no Mary or Gary-Sues. No one in the world is 'perfect', including me and you; I'd like to make it the same within this world.
2. Please submit your character through PM only. This makes it easier for me and no one wants spoilers. Also, you don't have to but please title your message with your character's name and talent for organisational purposes.
3. You can submit up to four characters! I don't mind if you recycle OCs from other SYOC Fics which they didn't get in but they have to compromise of all the main components below with a good amount of detail. Also, please keep in mind that they might not (all) be accepted.
4. Continuing from the last rule, I apologise sincerely if your character is not accepted. This could be for several different reasons, such as lack of detail or limited available slots. In return, I hope you can be understanding if your character doesn't get in.
5. Take your time! This isn't 'first comes, first serves'. This SYOC will be open for a while, at least until January next year. Throughout the month, I will continuously check the PM Inbox and write the submitted talents below so you'll know if I've read your submission or not.
6. Updates on this Fanfiction WILL be unscheduled! Because of school, medical appointments, homework, procrastination and others, I won't have a set schedule for this story nor any of my others. Please respect that I have my own life too and can't spend all my time writing.
7. Have fun! The sole purpose for writing this fan fiction was to get some entertainment out of it. I hope you have fun creating your own OC and/or reading this story.
8. Just in case I want to change something in the future, I'll have the right to change/add/subtract any rules.
