## The killing game

### Rules

**Rule #1:** All students are confined to the death game's mansion unless the 'win condition' has been achieved or a blackened has successfully committed a murder.

**Rule #2:** Attempting to break property of the death game mansion unless used in a murder or on accident is prohibited.

**Rule #3:** The BDA (Body Discovery Announcement) will play throughout the building's speakers once 3 or more participants have discovered a body.

**Rule #4:** If a student breaks a rule, they will be punished via execution.

**Rule #5:** If a student manages to convince more than half of living participants that someone has died, it will count as a valid murder and a trial will be held.

**Rule #6:** Once 5 students are remaining the 'final trial' will start. In this special trial, the surviving participants will decipher the identity of the mastermind behind this game through clues they've gained throughout the death game. After the administrators behind the scenes decide the 'winner' of the death game, the 'win condition' has been met. The mastermind and the winner will be forced to stay as the remaining 3 leave. Asking what happens to the last 2 is prohibited.

### Plot

#### Prologue: KG Experiment (ADV) 01

The prologue starts off with Kouta walking up to Akari's house, somewhat panicking about being late, but mentioning that she'll probably be fine as Akari won't be home. She knocks on the door and is greeted by Yume, who is quickly pushed aside by Akari, lecturing Kouta about being late to their meeting. The two of them talk for a bit about how Kouta thought Akari said she was sick, in which she replies that it was a false alarm. Everyone sits down and Akari announces the reason for the meeting. She tells who's revealed to be Hope's Peak's unofficial Detective Club that they have a new case on their hands, but Hibiki interrupts her and asks if anyone else feels drowsy. Akari almost tells him to shut up, then a few other members agree that the air feels awfully... thick. Loud banging can be heard from the door, then everyone passes out cold.

The Detective Club wakes up in the foyer, having no idea where they are, or how they got here. Everyone discusses their theories as to how they arrived & where they are. Takachika and Aiden think an administrator from sort of organization took them for an experiment, meanwhile Akari and Ryuutei think it's just a prank by a student at Hope's Peak. The participants argue until a robotic voice interrupts them. A large geometric statue swiftly grazes the stairs, standing before the group as they sit in fear, confusion, and awe. The robot introduces itself as P3RA P3RA, their overseer and host of the Detective Club's new death game experience. Kao inquires as to what a 'death game' is, in which P3RA P3RA hushes them and tells them to just wait as it explains. It walks the participants through how the game will work. A motive will be presented, then someone will kill. After the body has been found an investigation will begin. The trial to decipher the blackened's mystery will occur after the investigation has ended, in which the remaining students will argue their theory as to how the murder happened. When the time comes, everyone will vote who they think the murderer is. The person with majority vote is executed and everyone lives for another day. But, before the students are allowed to leave, P3RA P3RA will announce if their vote was correct. If it was, hooray! You killed the monster. If not, once P3RA P3RA reveals their identity the killer is allowed to leave the facility. The room bursts into fights yelling and confusion, everyone clearly not taking P3RA P3RA's announcement very well. P3RA P3RA shouts at everyone to let it explain the 6 rules of the death game, but Akari interrupts it right before it says the first rule. P3RA P3RA finishes what it was about to say. "....Rule #1: Interrupting P3RA P3RA is prohibited." A spear shoots out from the wall, hitting Akari's arm and pining her to the wall. Natsuki falls to the floor trying to avoid the spear, blood from Akari splattering on the wall, floors, and Natsuki himself. Akari attempts to pull her arm out, only to be impaled in her stomach. The remaining students stare in horror at the gory scene before them. P3RA P3RA quickly brushes off the event, explaining the rules to the cast. The lecture ends with P3RA P3RA presenting the first motive. Two truths and a lie. Kouta is given Kamiko's card, "Kamiko has committed a serious crime, Kamiko was expelled from her first middle school, and Kamiko has a princess complex.". The shaken group goes to the second floor and up to their bedrooms as instructed, falling asleep for tomorrow, the start of the death game.

## Trivia

* Chapter 6's title translates to "Abnormality Dancing Girl", which is a reference to a song of the same name of Guchiry.
* Kamiko was the first character created for HDC.
* Nova was the first character to get named.
* During the making if HDC, 2 characters were scrapped.
	+ The first was the Ultimate Vampire, a goth man who likes drinking blood. He was a written as a blackened for a murder that involved him sacrificing himself so another participant could drink his blood and become a vampire themself.
	+ The second was the Ultimate Wagashi Artist, a seemingly sweet guy with very strong opinions.
* MMMTEA's favorite characters are Kao, Ryuutei, and Hibiki.
* The original title for the prologue was "Testing, testing. 1 2, 1 2."
* Chapter 5's title is the term for a fear of lightning and thunder.
	+ If MMMTEA14 used the original plan for chapter 5 (Ryuutei commits s//cide because of sleep depravation) the chapter would've been called somniphopia, the fear of sleep.
