jkfhngsdkfhnas | Chapter 1 | Marco | RE: Chapter Start [Closed]

Everythinghappensomuchwhythis.

There was a lot going on for the dungeon master to take in. Not even lying in his bed staring at the ceiling seemed to bring peace. Instead, his idle thoughts were interrupted by a piercing scream, causing him to jerk and tumble out of his bed. Even when he hit the floor and covered his ears the screaming didn’t stop. When it finally subsided his ID went off and.. Who was that speaking? Punishment? Jeeze. Marco spent a minute pulling himself to his feet and looking for his hat before spending the next four heading out to the courtyard.

Waiting for them outside was Alaric, Ina, and-

“…..!”

Marco didn’t even dare take a breath as the conversation between the three carried on. When their Ids buzzed for everyone’s attention he still didn’t move his hands an inch, only allowing himself to take in long, slow breaths now. Whatever it was could wait, or he’d just miss out, which would suck but he wasn’t about to divert his attention any time soon.

It was when the wolf disappeared and Alaric called their attention about ‘trials’ did Marco finally look at his ID and scan through the tabs. He was an expert in a lot of various games, but this… this couldn’t be considered a game. Kill? Executed? Games weren’t supposed to be fun and this was completely on the opposite of fun!

He… needed to sit down. Or do something. Breathing was a good place to start.

From the sound of it the two of them had shared the same dream. How? Marco could remember the girl with the blue hair and considered the idea that it was the same girl as the one they saw standing outside. There was more to the dream- someone else, like Touma had mentioned. Before that there had been black mist… and…

”....”

Marco moved his hand and gripped his upper arm, once again breaking eye contact with the other. He stared down at nothing in particular as a chill crawled up his spine, causing him to shiver. This wasn’t the time or place to lose his cool. Get a grip! The dungeon master took a few seconds to close his eyes, take a deep breath, and focus on something else.

“The other person… I never saw their face. Might have been too bright to see. Or maybe it was a mask. I can’t visualize it. There was also… something else, too. I can’t figure out what it was.” Which was quite a surprise what with all the monster manuals and creatures he had read about and took the time to memorized over the years.

Slowly he opened his eyes and looked down at Touma, biting his lip.

“... It’s a little hard to not believe this is still part of a dream, with what’s going on outside and in here too. I’m expecting to open my eyes at any moment and be back in bed! Heheh. Do you think we had one of those weird ‘connected dream’ things? Never heard of strangers experiencing it.”

The rush of excitement that had made Marco’s mind rush miles a minute had faded. He hadn’t particularly wanted to remember the dream but there was no helping it now.

“Do you think the others here had the same dream?”

Assuming that they were the only two would be kind of cool in a ‘chosen one’ sort of way but impractical. He hoped that whatever Touma’s words would help put his nerves at ease, whatever their thoughts were.

shsldemagogue:

After exploring and discussing things with Emiko, Touma had taken to exploring the classrooms as well. Checking each room for some sort of hint as to what was going on here. They weren’t one to believe in magic, or… time travel or… whatever was supposedly going on, but they certainly weren’t finding any clues as to what was actually going on, and that was becoming the only explanation they could provide. Not that they’d voice it out loud. Regardless, they had been exploring the west hallway for quite some time now. That they and Marco hadn’t run into each other earlier was a miracle. It seemed likely that while one was in the halls the other was in a room, and they kept narrowly missing each other. With Marco’s introduction, that was no longer the case.

A small but warm smile found itself crossing Touma’s lips as the boy spoke. “Well hello! A pleasure to meet you as well Mason-san.” Touma offered a shallow bow. “Watanabe.” They made it a point to offer their surname first to remind the foreigner that using given names without permission was impolite. They weren’t going to explicitly remind him. To do so would be rude, and would imply they believed he would be ignorant to the cultural rules. They were fully confident he knew, but… It was always a good idea to remind foreigners, just to ensure they didn’t embarrass themselves later. “Touma Watanabe.” They offered their hand. Answering his further questions as they did so. “I have not unfortunately.” Touma paused for a moment. “Speaking of the… ‘other three’ as you called them… Do you know them? The way they’re dressed and all… Are they a part of one of your groups, or…?” Touma was desperately trying to connect dots that weren’t there… It seemed it might be more effective just to scribble on the page and see what appeared. “Also uh… Weird question… Did you have any kind of… weird dream last night?”

While Marco was quite familiar with written Japanese language, his social grace was a little… lacking (to be honest, that was the case in any and all languages he knew). He watched as the other gave a small bow, unsure if he should quickly cover his tracks and try to give one in return before it was too late, but before he could decide on what to do Touma had offered their hand. Marco took their hand with a smile and gave a gentle shake, bowing slightly in the process. Crisis averted.

The question really shouldn’t have been a big surprise to him. But it was! The initial confusion faded quickly as he shook his head.

“Nope, just met them today. I would love to join their group if they have any room for someone new! I should ask them about that later. Guess you don’t know them either, huh. Looks like I’ll have to charm ‘em with on my own with my charisma! Y’know, I’m surprised they never said anything to me about there being a roleplay group on campus but finding out this way is pretty neat too. ”

The next question caused the dungeon master to freeze momentarily. Slowly he brought his hand up and scratched the back of his head, looking away towards the wall.

“Hmm, I’m always told I have weird dreams so I guess I did? Usually they’re pretty linear. Last night I kind of remember something… but not everything. It might have been a nightmare but nightmares typically wake me up halfway through the night. Instead I woke up way past when I was supposed to! So maybe it wasn’t all that bad.” Marco paused for a moment then looked back at Touma. “My turn to ask a weird question! How about you? Dream of anything weird? Or cool? Maybe both?”

First Encounter | Prologue | Marco | Closed for Touma

It… it really was empty in here, wasn’t it?

In the midst of his excitement about possible LARPer’s walking around and the fact that going to class didn’t appear to be a requirement, it really hadn’t sunk in that there was a reason they didn’t need to attend class. With every step that he took inside the apparently abandoned school building replaced his excitement with unease. Whatever was going on, there had to be a reason for it. Even if the reason was that this was still a dream.

Marco returned to the West Hall and stopped by the classroom they were all previously huddled around not too long ago. It only took a quick glance at his ElectroID to see that this was where all the classrooms were. If there was anyone else around then surely there would be signs of life in one of the other classrooms. Papers on desks? Maybe something spookier like writing on the walls? 2spooky. Or, if nothing else, classrooms meant books, which Marco was a fan of. Was there a library around here? Wait, no, that could wait- one idea at a time!

By the time he was done looking around Marco was wondering what to do next. Check out another classroom or look for an area where they kept books? Or something else? The possibilities were endless! Maybe this whole ‘do what you like’ this was more of a curse than a blessing. The dungeon master moved to lean against the windowed wall that separated the classroom from the hallway and pulled out his ID again.

As he began to tap over to the Maps tab Marco realized he wasn’t alone. Something had moved out of the corner of his eye. Before he realized what he had seen or think about what he should do the boy quickly stepped away from the wall and turned to face the- what was it? A ghost? Monster?!-

Oh, it was just one of his classmates. At least, it was one of the others with him who had stood outside the classroom and followed the strange boy out into the courtyard. It took a few moments to realize that the dungeon master was looking through a window into the hallway where the other was. Technically he was still alone in the room but at the same time not? Still, it was nothing to get jumpy about.

Unsure whether the other could see him or had noticed him, Marco slid the ID into his pocket and made his way over to the classroom door. He carefully stepped out of the classroom as to not startle his classmate and offered up a small wave and smile in greeting.

“Hey there! I, uh, saw you while I was in the other room, and thought… I’d say something! So, yeah! Hi! I’m Marco! Marco Mason. Nice to meet you! Can I ask for your name? And, umm, you haven’t seen anyone else around here besides the people who were here and the… other three outside, have you?”

The Adventure Begins! | Prologue | Marco | Re; Game Start [Closed]

Really, it was a surprise to Marco that he managed to fall asleep at all. All the excitement of arriving at hope’s Peak Academy along with unpacking and saying goodbye to his family took its toll on the young boy and while he braced himself for a night of restlessness, instead he was out like a light the moment his head hit the pillow.

But the girl… the wolf…

He was more than happy to be staring up at his ceiling, awake and ready to greet the new day. Even if it was- Hecko, 10am?! Being late on the first day of classes was the last thing he needed in his life right now.

After managing to quickly get clothes on (and spending an extra minute fixing his shirt, which he expertly had put on backwards), Marco was finally out the door and headed towards… an empty classroom, he soon found out. Was this normal for Hope’s Peak Academy? Wait, better question- who was that boy? Was he LARPing? Was LARPING allowed at Hope’s Peak?!

Any and all concern about the empty classroom flew out right out of Marco’s mind. He was more than happy to follow the stranger out of the building and into the courtyard. There he met more LARPers(?) and a dark sky when everything else felt like a perfect day.

He was still dreaming. This had to be a dream! A really, really cool dream. Or Hope’s Peak was a cooler school than he had ever imagined it to be and then some. Gosh, why had he let his dad talk him out of bringing his LARP gear?! What a total bummer. Looked like he was going to make himself another duct tape sword.

Still, with the permission to do what they liked, a toothy grin spread across the boy’s face.

“We can do whatever we want? Heehee, okay~! Holdin’ you too that!”

Even if that wasn’t exactly what she said, he took the words to heart and in seconds was back in the school building before anyone could tell him otherwise.
