### Duration

~1 month (7/12/2019 to 8/2/2019)

*❝ So many admired the Ultimates: the students of Hope's Peak Academy. Of those who looked up to them most: sixteen were chosen.*

*However, when these sixteen arrived at the school, they realized: This was not a school of hope. This was a school of **despair**...❞*

**Danganronpa: Sister Location**, usually simplified as *Sister Location* or *SL*, originated as a roleplaying game on Quotev created by users Eva (@naegiri) and Entre (@komaeda). They sought to imagine SL as an unofficial Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony rewrite. It is the first in the SLverse timeline.

It is made completely of original characters made by admins to the project, being portrayed by them on personal accounts created for the character itself. Aside from Kurokuma, none of the canon characters from Danganronpa were portrayed directly, but there are mentions of characters (e.g., Junko Enoshima and Class 77-B) due to it being in the game's re-thought canon.

Sister Location can be found on Quotev at @destinationdespair.

## Synopsis

The storyline starts with its protagonist, **Himari Hamasaki**, acting as one of the titular characters. Himari, including everyone else, awake with varying degrees of annoyance, fear, and bewilderment in a classroom they've never seen before. Everyone stands by and starts roaming Classroom 1, talking with their newfound classmates about their predicament.

A note telling them to head to a courtyard turns deadly as **Kurokuma**, the entirely darkened side of Monokuma, explains that they are actually part of a killing game, tells the rules of said game, and describes the school as Hope's Peak Academy's "sister location".

Just as some confine or become weary of their situation, Kurokuma hands out E-handbooks and insists on a "buddy system" for future endeavors.

## Notes

Danganronpa: Sister Location takes place after the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, and (assumably) shortly or concurrently to Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. In the timeframe of Despair Overhaul, it is the first killing game.

Just like the original material of Danganronpa, SL has chapters for its progression of storyline. It replicates the game's continuance, however since this is not a real interactive game, it has a more Dungeons & Dragons-esque way of interaction on Quotev's feed function for character conversations, investigation, and Class Trials are played in Quotev's group function. Each character replies to another based on posts in which you tag another player, talking to them as you would for normal roleplaying scripts. Class Trials and investigations are guided by SL's writers.

The characters Chisafusa Tachibana and Kira Sunako are used by Entre and Eva respectively to guide its storyline - however, they are not considered its protagonists.

## Character Retcons

Around the week of November 15th-21st, two of the original cast characters were replaced in accordance to wiki cleanup and recent events. Due to falling outs and the admins leaving Quotev, their characters were scrapped and new characters took their long forgotten places.

Remington Naito was replaced by Shikou Motoyoshi and Takehito Yamasaki was replaced by Kevin Pigeon, both replacement characters being made by Worm and Muffy, respectively.

The character, Mayumi Shimizu, was up to being replaced as well; however, the admin had orphaned the character, letting her stay in the story.

## Killing Game Info

### Location

Inside a sister location school owned by Hope's Peak Academy

## Ending

*The five — Chisafusa, Kira, Blaine, Erisai, Tessio — left the school, and were eventually picked up by Future Foundation.*

The four despair worshipers were placed under arrest -- save for Tessio, who needed to go into intensive care first. At their trial, Chisafusa Tachibana advocated for them, saying they had changed.

Future Foundation's verdict was that they would *not* be imprisoned, but put under assigned work. For a long time. They had to clean up their messes. Chisafusa got a raise, and a new kidney!

Despite circumstances, the survivors remained close to one another, and hopeful.

## Trivia

* '*Sister Location*' is the name of the RPG due to the fact the killing game location was an actual second building owned by Hope's Peak Academy.
	+ It is also the name of the 5th installment of Five Nights at Freddy's, becoming a reoccurring joke among admins.
* The RPG's third chapter's name, '*Wolf in Sheep's Clothing*', could be a reference to the song by Set It Off of the same name.
	+ It is also apart of a popular idiom. 'A wolf in sheep's clothing' is a Biblical term used to describe those playing a role contrary to their real character with whom contact is dangerous. It is used for this chapter in particular since the motive is for a traitor reveal.
* Himari and Miyo were planned to be protagonists for Sister Location, but were both killed in Chapter 1. Tessio remained as the antagonist for the rest of the RPG yet it is unknown if a deuteragonist was picked behind the scenes as well.
* Eva and Entre debated on who would be the victim for Chapter 5. Instead of it being Audette Drosselmeyer, it was originally Tessio Petrocchi.
* An unused event and culprit would have been due to Kira Sunako. Kira was planned to resurrect a character in Chapter 3, making them zombified, only for them to become the next blackened. This idea was scrapped.
