... this one, however, gets a coinflip. I flipped a coin, had Bree call it. Heads was Cow, Tails was Giga. Got tails.

I like Torm, but gotta give it to Yui.

Tiebreaker here. I vote Rep.

Before the bear appeared and ruined the mood, Devin had been happily greeting their new classmates. A handshake here, a high-five there, and even a party popper to form some camaraderie with a girl who looked to be a clown! Not everyone seemed to enjoy their schmoozing, but that was pretty normal. Devin tended to rub some people the wrong way. They would love Devin by the end, so it was fine! Although, one person had questioned the host(ess)'s gender... "Mmm... Who cares?" And all was well until the ceremony began. That person, named Brian, gave Devin a weird look after, but other than that, Devin just talked the others' ears off while they waited. Then, he appeared... "This is a pretty sorry idea for a game, man." Monokuma's idea of entertaining was whack. Who would ever want to play this game? Who would even believe it to be real? This was a prestigious academy. The teen rubbed the back of their neck and sighed as they stepped forward, pointing at the bear. "There's nothing fun about this. This isn't heart-pounding, exciting, or even amusing! This is the worst joke since dead baby jokes." It was a joke, right? There was no way something like this was actually happening. Maybe this is why the school wanted them to attend? To fix their poor sense of entertainment? Yeah, that had to be it. And the way some of these other people acted certainly made it look like the sticks in the mud needed to be pulled. Maybe the clown girl was here for the same reason... Grinning, Devin walked up to the bear and slapped it on the back, playfully. "Or is it that you want me to teach you how to throw a party, little guy?"

"What's going on? Don't either of them want to win?" "That's the question, isn't it..." muttered Shannon as she watched the duel unfold, her eyes narrowing as Zirco turned around to watch what would happen. There was only one duelist who had the nerve to do something like that, and he had a bike specially made for him. So, why then was Zirco styling like him, while playing so... condescendingly? Did he think he was a king? He may be chosen, but he was nowhere near the level of their predecessors, if the duel on display was anything to go by. Shannon grit her teeth and clenched her hands as she watched, Luster seemingly alerted to something, before she began to speak. "It's really just about pride for Zirco, at this point. Grandstanding, mouthing off, making a show of someone weaker... Not very heroic of him, is it?"

is this loss

As the duo arrived at the building, Diana realized Shoshiki had disappeared. With a frown on her face, she had to accept it. Curiously enough, he had slunk off without taking his badges with him, leaving the two girls with a total of 8 badges. Two more was all they needed, and this crumbling building looked promising enough. "well, this is where you shine now." Taking a deep breath and nodding, Diana stepped forward. "Let's see what we can find!" With a quick glance of her surroundings, Diana ran in. The staircase to the upper levels was still there, but it looked like it could fall apart at any moment. As much as she would have loved to avoid taking it, the ground floor looked to be nothing but a lobby, with no sign of the badges... So up she went. Her suspicions were proven correct as she began to climb, parts of the staircase crumbling away a she stepped on them, nearly causing her to lose her footing. One of them even managed to cut her ankle a bit, eliciting a small cry from the girl as she landed on the next floor at last. Holes covered the floor here, where they had clearly experienced some sort of fighting, but the overall stability seemed to be higher. Some of the holes from the floors above seemed to be all the way to the sky, so even some sunlight made it through. And, as she followed one of those beams, she saw a glint in the corner of the hallway. Being careful not to take any risks, she made her way and scooped up the badge, giving a quick fist pump in victory. "Just one more to go!" The rest of the floor seemed to be empty, so she had to continue up the perilous staircase... or did she? Looking at the ceiling, she located a hole a little bigger than her. Bracing herself, she kicked her uninjured foot a bit, smirking. Bending her legs, she made a leap, barely managing to grab onto the edges of that hole. After that, pulling herself up to the next floor was easy, quickly taking note of the room she was in. It appeared to be a classroom, at the back of the building. Even if someone had braved this building earlier, they likely didn't head this far back to look. Of course, this proved true when she found one laying against the blackboard. Scooping up the final medal she needed, Diana dropped back down the hole, to the second story, and headed towards the front. However, as she walked down the hallway, she made a misstep in her happy haze. As the floor began to fall out from under her, Diana used her other leg to force herself towards a busted window, barreling out of it and towards some trees. Managing to grab one with her right hand at the last minute, she swung hard, almost going half a cycle with the hand clenching tight. Yet, Diana showed no signs of pain from the rough rubbing on her hand, where she should have at least gotten a rug burn. With a sigh of relief, Diana dropped to the ground and headed back to the front, flashing the badges with her fingers in a V and a grin on her face. "Alright, that's all of them, Yuuka!"
