Celestia

Prologue

8/8 - Edited

I'm dying. I'm pretty sure that I'm dying. I got hit by a freaking drunk driver. I remember the pool of blood around me and the screams. Hell, there were even people taking photographs. If I could, I would totally strangle them. Ah~ I wanted to finish reading Dangan Ronpa manga too. This sucks. Why can't I be a Super High-School Level Luck like Naegi? The animation is coming out in a few days too…

"She's dying!" I heard a scream in the background.

No shit Sherlock, I'm dying. So call the freaking ambulance and police already. Get that driver executed or something. I just want to see him suffer.

Do you want to live?

Of course I do!

Even as another person?

I just want to live…

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted with the sight of a really familiar looking back. I rubbed my eyes and stared at my dress. I was wearing Gothic Lolita style dress. On my right index finger was a familiar metal ornament. Yeah, I never knew what it was called. Right next to me was a young man with a punk rock appearance. He had a spiked up red hair and had lots of piercings, especially on his ears. I could never pierce that much. He had a goatee beard, which looked really strange in my opinion. Come to think of it… he looks a lot like Kuwata Leon. A cosplayer?

On my left was a girl with long, strawberry blonde hair typed into ponytails. She had a ribbon clipped on the right side of her ponytail and a rabbit clip on the other. She looks like Ikusaba Mukuro disguised as Enoshima Junko.

The young man in front of me was tall and slim. Yeah, I could only see his back as he was facing the front. He had a short blonde hair and had his arms crossed. Hmm… a Togami Byakuya cosplayer?

Actually this round machine like thing behind me… looks really familiar too. It's almost as if… I'm in Dangan Ronpa. Yeah, right! Still, this place is really realistic.

I tilted my head slightly and heard a ringing sound.

… What the- I have bells as earrings? This is weird… really weird. This metal ornament, Gothic Lolita dress and bell earrings… it's almost as if I'm Celes!
Just then, the door swung open and a Naegi look-alike entered the room. Holy! Cosplay level over 9000! I better get this signature later.

"Are you… also a new student?" Hagakure's cosplayer broke the silence.

"So, you guys are- "

"Yes we are, Naegi Makoto-kun." I interrupted. Is this a role-play or something?

Naegi's cosplayer stared at me with confusion written all over his face. Oh gosh, he's so cute! Can't I just hug him?

"We're new students who are supposed to start school at Hope Peak's Academy today." Chihiro said.

Wait. Now that I think about it, I'm in Hope Peak Academy right?

I need a mirror ASAP. Maybe Mukuro would have one?

"Enoshima-san…" I walked towards her.

"Hm?"

"Do you have a hand mirror or something similar?" I asked her.

She flashed me a smile, fished out a small hand mirror from her pocket and handed it to me. I murmured a small thanks and took a good look at my face.

Yep, I'm officially Celestia Ludenberg. This feels weird. It's as if I am really Celes herself. But wait. Who changed my clothes then? It'd better not be a man…

"You have kept us waiting!" I heard Ishimaru shout, pointing an accusing finger at Naegi.

Yeah, I'm too lazy to add the cosplayer stuff at the back of their name. Sue me.

He began rambling on about Naegi's tardiness and Mukuro interrupted him.

Asahina then suggested that we introduce ourselves. Oowada refused, claiming that it's not the time for it.

"Well then, should I call you Pompadour-san?" I asked sarcastically.

"What!" He snapped.

I never liked Oowada after he murdered Chihiro, even if he's just a cosplayer.

"So, let's introduce ourselves then." Sayaka said.

One by one, the students began to introduce themselves and I was the last.

"My name is Celestia Ludenberg. Pleased to make your acquaintance" I gave Naegi a small smile.

"Celes… Lude… what?" Naegi tried to say Celestia's full name but failed to do so.

"It's my name. You can call me Celes for short."

"Aren't you Japanese…?" Naegi stared at me.

"What if I am?" I titled my head slightly. Well Naegi, to be honest I would love to tell you Celestia's real name too but nope. Not yet.

"Er, can I get your real name?" He asked hesitantly. Is he afraid that I'll get angry at him?

"Fufu~ I'm afraid not. Just call me Celes. Alright?"

"Uhm okay…" Naegi said.

"Heh heh heh." I giggled. Come to think of it, Naegi found Celestia to be quite intimidating.

After the introductions, the students began to discuss about their current situation. I tuned them out and tried to think about MY current situation. I'm currently in Dangan Ronpa. I am dressed Celestia Ludenberg and a student of Hope Peak Academy. I was pretty sure that I died. Wait but that voice… don't tell me it's real and I'm in the actual Dangan Ronpa story and is really Celes?

Wait, If I'm Celestia, I'm bound to die right? Celes was burned at the stake and this car came flying…

So… I'm going to die by car again, is that it?

Ding Dong Ding Dong

Announcement could only mean one thing: Monokuma.

After Monokuma made his announcement, everyone slowly made their way to the Gymnasium.

Inside the Gym, Monokuma started his long, long talk with the other students. If I'm right, Sayaka will be killed followed by Mukuro. Could I save them? Nah, is this even real in the first place?

I tuned out Monokuma's explanation about the graduation system and stood near Naegi.

"Finally, to commemorate your arrival at this school, I'm giving you a little present!" Monokuma exclaimed.

"It's a student identification card, isn't it cool? It's an electric student ID card, and therefore its name is… 'The Electronic Student Card'!"

I took at glance at Naegi's face. Yep, he deadpanned. I wish I had a camera right now…
