Red-headed Smasher
Detached. Nowhere to go. A road without a destination. What is this? "Mmmm." Madotsuki blinked. "Where am I?" she asked no one because there was no one to ask. That quest was to herself. The only person that could answer.
"Hello...?" she said it again.
With each step she took, she drew closer to nothing.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
A butterfly comes across your view, it flaps its wings around you. What will you do?
Red-headed Smasher
Madotsuki reached out to touch the flying butterfly.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
Suddenly, the world around you dims until you could see nothing. The butterfly has disappeared and your feet cannot grip the ground. You feel the force of air pushing up against you.
Falling, falling, falling.
Where are you falling to? You don't know, you're not supposed to. Darkness surrounds you and at the end of this dream you will die without knowing the truth. But would your fate change when the darkness fades? No, the truth can only destroy what little bliss your people have created. Death, despair, and ruination is all that is left when will of humanity is left on its own...
However, if I kill you now you won't truly ever realize hopelessness. You will be given one year. Do not fail to entertain me.
Awaken.

A voice echoed in her head. It belonged to someone that she didn't know. What was this feeling?
Ah.
It was hopelessness. She never knew it because she never put forth the effort to do anything.
This dream of hers. Where was it taking her? She has braved the dreamscape time and again to search for the answer. She will never find it.
"Huuuuuuuuuh."
Thud!
"Ouch." the young Madotsuki fell out of bed. Again.
It was another typical morning.
◊ The alarm next to her didn't even wake her up. What use was it to have if it didn't do its job? "Mmmm." she mumbled and grumbled
What... was there to do now?

"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
Monday / 2013, April, 1
"Madotsuki! You should get up soon, you don't want to be late for your first day of school!" A woman's voice calls from outside of her room."
The dreaded day has come, a new school year has started. You have a limited amount of time to get to Katsuhina Daisan Junior High, but it must be done.

Madotsuki — Madotsuki's Room
That's right. It was the start of another wonderful school year. Last year she passed with high-marks but does that mean she wanted to go to school? No. She would rather stay home, keep a dream journal and waste her life away. Does that mean she can't do it? Yes, that is exactly what it means. The fun things in life you aren't allowed to do. Go figure.
"Alright, I'm coming!" she got up from the bed and walked out of her room and into the open.
Katsuhina Daisan Junior High — Halls
Madotsuki got ready in a matter of thirty minutes. She sluggishly moved through the apartment complex in her effort to do her morning duties. Cleaning herself up, putting her uniform on, getting something to eat, that kind of thing. Finally she arrived at school on time. Now she just stalked through the hallway toward her first class.
I don't want to be heeeere.
That though kept repeating over and over in her head.
I don't want to be here.
She just wanted to go home, go to sleep and dream.

"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
Before you get to Class 3-D, your homeroom, you overhear a conversation between a few students.
A Gossiping Student says, "Hey, hey! Did you hear about the revenge website?"
The student next to her, we'll call him Rumor Loving Student, responds, "What's that? Something that people use to haunt their exes?"
The Gossiping Student rejects his thought, "Uh, no... Apparently there's a website where you can just post someone's name on its list and then... Er."
The Rumor Loving Student tries to finish, "...They die?"
The Gossiping Student, "Shh! Don't say that out loud." The bell rings.

Instrument of Destruction and Rebirth
Katashi Isayama wandered almost aimlessly down the hallway. Homeroom was starting in a few minutes, and he was still feeling groggy from the fruitless research he had been doing the night before. He had been researching whenever he could during his days off, and now that school had returned, the chances of him finding a new case were very slim.
That was until he had overheard an interesting tidbit from a pair of students about a special website. A first, he had dismissed it as a pointless rumour, but then one of the pair mentioned something about a list. And when the male student exclaimed "They die?", Katashi's mind kicked into overdrive. This was it, he could smell the beginning of a case. He excitedly pulled a notepad out of his pocket, but before he could advance on the two students, the bell rang.
"Blast," he grumbled to himself. The investigation would have to wait, or else he would be late.
He reluctantly turned his back on the pair, and walked on.

It was difficult for Madotsuki not to hear what the other students talked about. They were speaking so loud that students on the other end of the hall could catch wind of it. Madotsuki looked back toward them then shook her head from side to side.
A revenge website? Maybe I should check it out..., she thought to herself as she walked on...
And she would most likely... ACCIDENTLY... maybe... run into a guy called Katashi Isayama.

"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
Instrument of Destruction and Rebirth
So caught up was Katashi in his fervor, that he didn't even notice the smaller girl until they had already collided in the middle of the hallway. Katashi stumbled backwards, before righting himself.
"Uh...sorry. I didn't see you there," he mumbled, "Are you okay?"

Madotsuki winced as she fell to the ground. She collided with a boy a bit bigger than her so it was unlikely SHE was going to overpower HIM. "Gh... I'm fine." she said that in a low voice. The young girl stood to her feet a second later. "Sorry, I.. uh... wasn't watching where I was going. It won't happen again." the brown-haired lass averted her eyes when she apologized.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
Unfortunately, before any more small talk could be made, a teacher passes by and orders everyone to get to their class.
In class. "All right, all right. Kids, listen up." A female teacher
came into her classroom, calling all attention to her. "Yes, it was fine to skip the opening ceremony yesterday. However, starting from today onwards, you will be taking your studies and responsibilities as a student to the utmost seriousness. We'll start by introducing ourselves. I am Touka Sumeragi and Sumeragi-sensei is what you all will address me as. Now, it's your turn."

Katashi felt bad about knocking that poor girl over, but before he was even able to apologise again, a teacher came along and practically shepherded everyone into the classroom. He would have to find a chance to speak with her again later.
He sat down near the back of the classroom, next to the wall. It was only a few minutes later when the teacher walked in. The introductions carried on until they came to him. He stood up, and spoke clearly, "Katashi Isayama", before sitting back down again. He didn't feel like saying anything else. If they wanted more information, they would have to drag it out of him.

In The Zone
Asuka sat attentively as she waited for her own teacher to arrive. It was her final year of high school. Truthfully she was excited enough she felt like bursting but she held herself to just a smile and cheerful attitude. She conversed lightly with those she knew in the meantime. Rumors had already begun circulation and it was the first day. A small sigh escaped from her. This year was going to be the best one yet and she was not about to let some silly rumors bring her down.
I, for one, welcome our new Basketball Z overlords. All hail The Generation of Miracles! (Aomine is the best though)
After school, Yume, you hurried back to your home without much incident. Though, you are feeling quite tired after excreting so much energy today. You hit the top of your bed and fall asleep.
You are walking along a checkered marble floor though you do not know where to. Darkness covers the world once more.

"What's going on?" she muttered to herself. What was this place again? Where was it going to lead her? Uncertanty took hold of her. Did she really want to walk this path?
"Hello." Madotsuki said that again as she looked up into the sky. The ceiling. Was there a ceiling here? No, most definitely not. Not one that she could see. "HELLO?" she started to panic.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
You hear the noise of heels clacking on the floor. The sound grows larger with each step.
Red-headed Smasher
The new sound frightened Madotsuki. How was she to know who it was? The hallowed hall and the strange atmosphere didn't help her to feel any less anxious.
"Who is it?" Madotsuki said that as she feigned pride. The only thing she could do now was keep her spine straight and not fall over from fear. She had to remain strong.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
The footsteps stop and an undoubtedly cheery female voice rings through the realm, "Oh! I see that someone actually managed to come here still aware of themselves. Hmm... You might be just the person I am looking for."
Red-headed Smasher
"The person you're looking for? What... exactly do you mean?" Madotsuki took a step back due to the new voice.
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"
One, two, three more steps are taken and a peculiar lady shining in a sleeveless blue dress manifests from the darkness.
"To answer your question: I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone," her shining golden eyes gazes through your own, but she seems to be making eye-contact as if to affirm something rather than anything else.

"However, I don't think that you would be my only companion in this," she raises the book that she was carrying towards you and reveals its pages.
Around you, four silhouettes appear beside you. "Oh, my... The shroud of uncertainty is still quite parable."
The peculiar lady raised her other hand and with a flick of her wrist, a sheet of paper appears floating in front of you. "Before we go any further though, I would like you to sign your name onto this contract. It says that you will be responsible for your actions and that whatever injuries, mental or physical, may occur, I will not be held liable."
Red-headed Smasher
Madotsuki hesitated at the sudden presentation of a contract. "Sign it?" usually stuff like this had to be read. Through the fine line yet... she felt compelled to agree.
There, she signed her name.
Madotsuki... Yume...
The contract had been signed and her fate given up to the cards.
"Is that all?"
"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"

You are walking alone along a straight path, leading to the unknown. What will you do? This road seems to go on endlessly, you're not making any progress. What will you do?
