Almost immediately as my eyes fluttered open, I felt like closing them again. There was a pounding in my head and ears, almost like when you swim up too fast in the ocean or you're on an airplane that just took off. In short, it hurt like a bitch.
On top of the physical pain, there was also the mental. Where the hell am I? When am I?
I could barely remember a thing about what I was doing before this. The distinct, clean smell of my school's main office is all I can remember, but other than that I don't know how I ended up here.
My eyes may have been closed, but all four of my other senses seem to be working. I felt cold, like the inside of a hospital, or maybe even the walk-in freezer at my cousin's store. I was laying on something very hard and equally as cold as the room I was in. Almost like steel...
Ignoring my throbbing head, I slowly willed my eyes open.
I looked to be in a medium-sized room, with the walls and floors both being made of gray steel. There were no windows, but a door was directly in front of me.
The only other thing in the room was an...incinerator?
It definitely looked to be turned off, but still, a little creepy if you ask me. My unfortunate fear of tight spaces made me shudder at the thought of getting trapped in there. No thank you...
Slowly, I stood up and made my way over to the door. I was stumbling with every step, but at last, I reached my destination. My shaky hand gripped the doorknob and jiggled it.
It didn't open.
"No luck..." I mumbled. My heart was beginning to race as I thought about the danger I could be in, but I was determined to find a way out of here and find out what's going on.
I looked around the room once more. The incinerator more than likely wouldn't help me out, but maybe my phone could.
I reached into my pocket for my phone, only to pull out some electronic device resembling a phone...just not my phone. A bit more on edge now, I pressed the power button located on the back of the 'phone'.
Instantly, I was greeted with my name written in blue font and personal info about myself.
WELCOME,
SEIZO MORINE
Ultimate ACTOR
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 141 lbs.
Blood Type: A-
Likes: DVDs, free food
Dislikes: Paparazzi, tight spaces
I frowned at the information this phone seemed to know about me. My height, weight, and blood type were all exactly correct, and I mean, I guess that my likes and dislikes are true...
However, I couldn't help but notice the 'ultimate' in front of my current occupation: actor. I received a letter confirming my enrollment to Hope's Peak Academy under that title, but I have yet to tell anyone, not even my parents. How could this phone know when no one else does?
Upon pressing the screen, I was given a few options to choose from.
PROFILES
RULES
EVIDENCE FILE
MAP
PRIZES
SETTINGS
Most of the options didn't even work, and ones that did proved to be useless in aiding my escape.
I was starting to get frustrated. I had no idea what was going on and nothing was helping to help me figure it out. My phone wasn't in my pocket, the door is locked, and I have this annoying ass headache...
My eyes wandered to the incinerator. It had a control panel next to it, which I assume turns it off and on. Having nothing else to do, I stumbled toward it.
My vision was starting to get blurry and I felt more and more weak with every step. But I was determined to find a way out of here.
Upon closer inspection, the control panel had a row of buttons with different labels.
START INCINERATION
STOP INCINERATION
LIGHT ON/OFF
UNLOCK/LOCK
I tugged on the door to the incinerator, only to find it, like the door in this room, locked. Glancing back at the control panel, I saw the unlock button and pressed it.
A small click turned my attention back to the incinerator. This time, when I tugged on the door, it opened.
A little satisfied with myself, but overall still confused at to what the hell is going on, I peered inside the incinerator. It was a decent size, and I as I originally thought; could very well fit a body, or even two.
A little sparkle at the bottom of the incinerator suddenly caught my eye.
Interested and having nothing else to do, I slowly reached down and fumbled around until my hand gripped something small and cool. I took it out to observe my finding.
A key!
It was small and looked like a key to something equally as small, but still: progress is progress!
Smiling triumphantly, I made my back to the door, only to find myself frowning once again as I realized: the damn door doesn't have a lock!
"Damn it!" I groaned, shoving the key into my pocket and rolling my eyes.
That was it, there was literally nothing else for me to do...or so I thought.
I felt a buzz in my pocket, coming from the phone, and turned it on.
The "PRIZE" icon was bouncing, and upon clicking it, confetti and the words "Congratulations!" filled the screen.
After the 'cute' little graphic, all displayed on my screen were several little boxes, with only one of them lit up with the number [001]. I clicked on it and read the following:
Task: Find your [TEMPORARY] room key.
Reward: Unlock any one door. [Redeem?]
Room key? I didn't know why I'd need a room key, but whatever; I was more interested in the 'reward'. Unlock any one room...
I clicked on the redeem button and immediately heard a 'swoosh'. It came from the locked door in the room!
Immediately, I rushed towards it and jiggled the handle. And this time, it unlocked.
"Fuck yeah!" I beamed, feeling a new wave of energy surge through me. I was one step closer to finding out what's going on.
I slowly opened the door, and entered a room beyond my wildest imaginations...
A/N: New SYOC time! I know my last two SYOCs didn't do so well in the update department, but I am older and wiser now, and ready to take on something new!
SYOC Rules
1. Our protagonist is Seizo Morine, the Ultimate Actor! He is a very promising up and coming actor who's famous for playing the villain in the live-action adaption of "Sun Witch Esper Ito". Between the three OG Danganronpa protagonists, he is definitely most similar to Hajime.
2. Yes, this story will take place in space! None of the characters know this yet, however.
3. The theme of this story will be New VS. Original. Trust me, all will make sense soon...
4. All characters know of Hope's Peak Academy, and have gotten in, but don't currently attend or know anything about The Tragedy.
5. As of right now, the deadline is SEPTEMBER 27th. It could be made sooner if I get all the characters I need, or it could be postponed to later if I don't.
6. I'll add to this whenever I think of something else!
