Thread: Danganronpa 2.5: Return To Hope's Peak Academy (Athene & Potter-kun)

Kyoko Kirigiri Aoi Asahina The moment the letters arrived, Kyoko's detective instincts kicked into high gear. something was wrong . Very much so. It was far too convenient. Not only had she gotten a letter, but so did Makoto and the very frantic Aoi who was all but bouncing up and down beside her. I'm telling you, Kyoko repeated for what felt like the millionth time, No. I have to agree with Byakuya on this. It's clear as crystal that this is a trap. We're not meeting up withe others. Truth be told, she was a bit disappointed that Makoto had taken the bait so easily. Then again, his message had been a personal one. Very much like Aoi's in fact. The Ultimate Swimmer stomped angrily down as she shot an unorthodox glare at Kyoko. I know I'm probably being an idiot and letting my feelings get in the way, alright?! But I'm obviously not the only one! How can you so easily say no to this?! After three to four years, I finally have a lead on my brother! I'm not just letting this opportunity slip! Kyoko sighed, moving a few strands of hair behind her ears. Because, she stated in a very calm, matter-of-fact tone, My talent is in my blood. Just like it is with everyone else. And I don't think , I know something is wrong with these letters. Then if we furthermore add in the others who survived ordeals like ours - Hajime and Nagito also receiving these - it screams that trouble has somehow found us. We really shouldn't --- Yet as she lifted her head to look at the athlete, she saw Aoi was gone. Did she just? She did, didn't she? Ugh ... that hasty woman ... Kyoko muttered in annoyance, groaning under her breath as she broke into a run. Oi, Aoi! Wait! So much for using caution, I suppose, Kyoko lamented, suppressing a frustrated sigh from escaping her parted lips. Apparently, Aoi had been very desperate. Because she hadn't hailed a taxi or tried to find a means of public transportation. Granted, there weren't many that worked nowadays, but there were some. No, though. Aoi had run the entire way from the Future Foundation office to Hope's Peak Academy. Kyoko furthermore found that all of the guys were already waiting in front of the door. I'm ... going ... to repeat Byakuya's advice one last time. We really should --- Before she could finish the warning that no doubt Makoto and Aoi had been told, the doors opened up, all but inviting them to walk right into whatever awaited them. ... Oh yes. That's not ominous at all, Kyoko muttered, studying each person in hopes of trying to gauge their reactions. Could any of them even be talked out of this crazy idea? Probably Hajime and maybe even Nagito. I can't imagine either of their letters were as sensitive as Makoto or Aoi's, after all ... I agree, Aoi chimed in. I mean ... yeah. That's definitely a red flag if I ever saw one. But .... with that being the last obstacle to lead me to my brother ... Her head moved from side to side, causing dark brown locks to lightly whip the sides of her face. You and Byakuya will have to forgive me. I've waited long enough! I'm not doing that anymore! Aoi, please just stop and -- Alas, the dark-skinned swimmer apparently was done waiting. She ran in, not even bothering to hear the detective out. Goddamnit, Kyoko muttered, flashing an irked glare at the others, At least go to the bath house! No unwanted eyes will be upon us that way! Oi, Aoi! Get back here! As Kirigiri ran in, a knot formed in her stomach. It would be confirmed she had been feeling fair incentives to do so. The moment everyone walked inside, a loud thud resounded. One glance behind any of them would reveal the door had shut, and the numerous click s that followed hinted they had been locked inside. ... Home again, home again, Kyoko bitterly thought, lightly scoffing as she went to try to find Aoi and guide her to the proposed destination. Being locked in here yet again was going to be frustrating enough. It'd only be worse if that athlete died before even an hour ticked away. She already had a hell of a to-do list to go through with, and none of it made Kyoko even somewhat happy. Talking with Byakuya would be a pain, as would confirming their guess on this being a trap would be. ... So she intended to make everything that was about to happen as painless as possible.
