A Game of Despair: Danganronpa

You feel a bead of sweat drip down the back of your head, but you stay calm and hide your shock. "Hello, Tucker."

"Hello, Leanne. Want to find something in my notes? I'll help you do it." He's pretty good at keeping a straight face. Or rather...Did he plan out this entire situation? Is this the Ultimate Geopolitical Analyst's power...?

You feel as if you've been baited into something. You gulp and try to think clearly. What do you do from here?

A. "Yes, I was looking for ___." (Specify)
B. "Actually, I was just about to leave."
C. "Why do you have this written here?"
D. "Is this a trap?"
E. Stay silent and focus on watching his movements.
F. Jump out the window and ****ing run.
G. Smash him over the head with the potted plant.

"Actually, I was just about to leave." You glance at the door behind Tucker.

"Are you sure? You can investigate more, if you like. I know you detective types like looking around. Oh, and you can keep my key as long as you lock my door too. It will be a good trust-building exercise."

"..." You're uncertain what to say. Instead, you simply make your way to the door. To your surprise, Tucker steps out of your way and lets you leave his room completely untouched. Just what exactly are his goals?

You return to your room and try to think things over. You place Tucker's room key on your desk. It doesn't seem right to keep it, but at the same time, you feel like getting out of there as quickly as possible was the right choice.

*BING BONG DING DONG*

"Greetings, Hope's Peak Academy! It's your lovely headmaster, Nekoshi, here! It is now 10:00 PM, which means it is night time! The Dining Hall and the Pool will now be closed, so don't think about doing anything, you delinquents!"

...You go over events in your head. How are you going to get out of here? Why was the clue out in Claus' video? Why did Tucker betray you all? Why does Tucker have all that creepy writing on his walls? None of this makes any sense.

A. Go to sleep
B. Try to meet with someone (Specify)
C. Explore a location in the school (Specify)
D. Plot a murder (Specify)

...Spy and Tucker?

You decide to head out and see if Aki's around. As you step out of your room, you notice Sylvia and Dennis heading inside. They both go straight to their rooms without saying anything to you. Sylvia had this weird look on her face. You're not sure what it was.

Either way, you start to walk over to Aki's room and...You check really quickly if Tucker's room is locked first. It is. Good. You remembered to lock it. Perhaps it's just a habit you've gotten used to by now.

You head over to Aki's room and ring the doorbell.

...

You wait a little while, but there's no response.

A. Ring it again.
B. Mash the doorbell.
C. Go back to your room.
D. Try to meet with someone else. (Specify)
E. Go somewhere else. (Specify)

You head over to Sylvia's room and ring her doorbell instead. After a moment, she opens the door with sleepy eyes. "...Leanne?" She yawns. "Did you need something?"

A. "You had an odd look on your face earlier. Are you alright?"
B. "I need to talk to you in private. Can you come to my room?"
C. "I found something disturbing in Tucker's room..."
D. "Something is strange about Claus..."
E. "What should we do about the Motive Videos?"
F. "I just...needed a friend right now. Someone I can trust."

"I need to talk to you in private. Can you come to my room?"

Sylvia thinks for a short moment before nodding. "Yeah."

You're almost a little surprised at how quickly she responds. She must trust you.

The two of you head over to your room and you shut the door. Sylvia takes a seat on the bed and looks at you, waiting for you to say something.

A. "...It's about what happened today."
B. "...It's about something I found in Tucker's room."
C. "...It's about Claus."
D. "...It's about the Motive Videos."
E. "...Are you okay? It looked like something was wrong earlier."
F. "...I just...need someone I can trust right now."
G. "Well, since you're already in my bed~"
H. Kill Her.

"...It's about what happened today." You take a deep breath. "I'm just not sure what I should do about it all. I mean...It came as a shock to me that Tucker and Spy would go behind our backs. But even more than that, Claus' reaction was...I don't know."

Sylvia tilts her head to the side slightly. "Well, sometimes things aren't always so black and white, you know? I think everyone had good intentions, they just...clashed a little."

"Yeah, but...What should I even do about it?"

She shakes her head. "I don't think there's anything to be done about it. Sometimes these things just happen. But I think the best thing we can do for now...is trust everyone. We need to trust each other if we want to get out of here together." She looks out the window for a bit as if she almost doubts what she said herself. "...Anyway." She turns back to you. "Is...that all you wanted to talk to me about?"

You consider what you should tell her about.

A. "I found something strange in Tucker's room."
B. "What do you think the secret was in the motive video?"
C. "Why did Claus have the secret in his video?"
D. "You seemed worried about something earlier. Are you okay?"
E. "That's all. Sorry to keep you awake."

"I found something strange in Tucker's room."

Sylvia looks confused. "Found something...?"

"...He had notes on us. All of us." You take a breath. "He's been watching us all and writing down what we've been doing on his walls. It's a little unsettling. And..." You trail off. You feel like something strange is going on with Tucker, but you second guess yourself. "...I don't know."

A concerned look crosses her face as she thinks deeply. "...It isn't a good idea to jump to conclusions. We need to trust each other, like I said. The moment we start doubting each other is the moment Nekoshi wins."

You sigh. "...You're right. I can't just jump to conclusions."

A. "Thank you, Sylvia. You can go now if you like."
B. "What was the secret in the Motive Video?"
C. "Why was the secret in Claus' video?"
D. "Is something bothering you, Sylvia?"
E. "...I think Tucker might be the mastermind."

"Is something bothering you, Sylvia?"

She looks surprised you asked. "Oh, me? No, no, it's nothing!"

"Really? You had an odd look on your face earlier."

"Oh, right. Well...Sam was just acting a little weird earlier is all. He said he wanted to use me for a makeup model. Which was flattering, but then he started freaking out and saying all kinds of weird things..." Sylvia laughs a little uncomfortably. "...It was weird."

A. "He probably likes you."
B. "Maybe he was embarrassed by what he said."
C. "Maybe he's a creep."
D. "Maybe he's the mastermind."
E. "Maybe he's trying to kill you."
F. "I'm sure it's nothing.
