Seeing Monoursa every time I come to the front page of my journal is starting to make me feel very uncomfortable, and so I am compelled to push it down with an entry. Unfortunately, this entry contains equally horrible speculation on what might happen in chapter four of Dangan Ronpa. But, you know, at least it's under a cut!
Spoilers up to yesterday's update of the Let's Play, update 72.
( Dangan Ronpa: it's essentially baseless prediction time! )
I've been worrying, inevitably, about how I would cope in Dangan Ronpa. Well, 'badly', of course, but more specifically than that. I say 'worrying' rather than 'wondering' because I actually find myself getting quite anxious about my inability to come up with a good plan for this scenario. Riona, you are highly unlikely to be locked in a school by a sadistic teddy bear that wants you to murder your peers. All else aside, why would Hope's Peak Academy select you? You're not a high-school student. Even if you were, what would your title be: Super High-school Level Ill-advised Pokémon Crossover Writer?
My first thought was that I'd probably just squirrel away as much food as I could and lock myself in my room. On further consideration, though, survival is about more than just not being murdered: it's also about being able to catch the killer when murders are committed. If the other captives don't know what you're like, if as far as they know you haven't formed any attachments to anyone else, you'll look suspicious. If they conclude that you're the murderer when you're not, everyone dies.
So I suppose the thing to do is to stay, as far as possible, in the company of at least two people you're reasonably confident won't try to kill you. I think Asahina and Chihiro are the ones I'd be quickest to trust. Anyone who wanted to murder you would have two options: kill you in so subtle a way that your companions wouldn't realise who did it, or kill all three of you. All of you become very inconvenient to target. (The 'at least two', of course, is in case you've misjudged one of your companions.)
I am definitely thinking too much about this.
I was just poking through my bookmarks, seeing whether I had anything to add to this entry for people who haven't yet fallen into the fabulous pit of despair that is Dangan Ronpa, and discovered that at some point I felt the need to bookmark a video in which the little round sheep of Final Fantasy XIII sit around and occasionally go 'baa'. The video is HD and thirty-five minutes long. All right, then.
I don't think the sheep video is really entry material. Sorry, people who aren't reading Dangan Ronpa: I've failed you.
