Who: Everyone
When: Day 1 – noon
Where: The Auditorium
What: ROUND 1 BEGINS

[Some hours have passed, leaving you time to mingle and explore to your hearts content. However, as the clocks tick over to noon … the bell rings again. And this time, it's followed by the hissing static of an intercom system.]

Ahem! Ahem, is this thing on? Ahh, yes … If all Students and Instructors could kindly make their way to the Auditorium, our first class can begin.

[Those people who are understandably reluctant to follow that instruction may just find their feet moving for them, plodding them into the massive assembly hall. Once they're there, the door slams shut and locks behind them.

… There's nobody there, but the intercom is still on.]

You might not be too far off... I dunno if you heard already, but I was talking to a guy from Art and he said there's people here that this has happened to before. Not this exact place, but something really similar.

And [ whispered, ] they were forced to kill each other.

[tsuns]

[ his eyes go extremely wide. ]

Wh...aha. That guy. He's gotta be some kind of jokester. That's just a really dumb joke.

[footwork]

That's what I said!! But I dunno, I think-- I think we should be careful and look out for our team, just in case. Especially if we keep getting locked into places!

[tsuns]

Yeah. I mean. I guess either way, the team's most important.

Quiz tournament or scary joke, regardless.

[ although if this really is a murder thing...he's been gearing up to this really being something serious but. he never would have expected slasher film serious. ]

[footwork]

I really, really hope it's a quiz tournament. [ siiiiiiighs. ]

[tsuns]

Hey, if it is some. Bad thing. [ not gonna say murder, not gonna say murder ]

Those people can back and everything, right? So if it's true...it's not like it's permanent, huh?

—But I'm sure they're just pullin' legs.

[footwork]

Or they're the... survivors.

[ as soon as he started that sentence he knew. he knew it was gonna really suck. ]

Whatever, if it's true-- we're gonna be ready for it!! I've got your back, Kanata.

[tsuns]

[ oh. he didn't think of that. gulping.

but. wow. you're a true homie. ]

Nishinoya... We're a team. So of course I've got your back too, huh? If you need a tag in, I'll be there with a one-two kick and punch!

[footwork]

Sweet! [ fistpumps excitedly ] We've got this, with your one-two kick and my rolling thunder, our team is strong as hell!!

[tsuns]

Ha? Rolling thunder?

[ sounds like a manga character move, to him. ]

[footwork]

Yeah! Um. It's actually a volleyball move, but I can totally turn it into a fierce attack!

[tsuns]

Ahhh! That's pretty cool!

[ doki ] You gotta show me some time!

[footwork]

[ upupupu he IS cool. noya looks proud at that. ]

Sure thing! And hey, if you really like it, I could even teach you how to do it.

[tsuns]

Y-Yeah...I mean, I'm pretty good at that kind of thing, anyway! A master, so...that'd be fun yeah. Ehe.

[ the tsun begins to show. ]

[footwork]

--Eh, really?! What position do you play?!

[ SUDDENLY REALLY EXCITED ]

[tsuns]

Ah, uh. Not volleyball. I mean like fighting and everything.

[ he would die playing volleyball ]

[footwork]

Oh, sorry! [ whoops, a little sheepish. ] That's still really cool though, guys that have a super strong fighting spirit are the best!
