Time for another day in the life of an otherwise ordinary student being trapped in a school for the Ultimate High School Students! (Don't forget that the aforementioned "ordinary student" is being haunted by a amnesiac-by-death ghost...!) (That part's made up for this Let's Play and you know it!)

'*Ding dong, bing bong*'
Oh no, not this again...
Monokuma: Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day!
Makoto Naegi: ...Morning has come.
And I'm still dead... (That's a really sad way to start a new day.)
Makoto Naegi: What should I do today?
Well, how about we search around the school for more coins? (Whatever...) *walks down the hallway there the dorm rooms are located* ...Well, I've never been in the room marked with the garbage can... It's the incinerator room. *looks to the left* What's with this green stripe on the wall?
'Leave the area?'
-Yes-
-No-
I did not realise that was the door out, not right now... Of to the right is...
Makoto Naegi: It looks like some kind of switch. I wonder what it does...
And I get a coin, nice. Now what's with this gate in the room?
Makoto Naegi: I can't get inside. The gate's in the way...
Well, I'm done looking around in here. Let's go...
'Leave the area?'
-Yes-
-No-
Now it's a yes. What else is in this hallway... A public mens room? And...Is that an aquarium over the radiator?
Makoto Naegi: It's a fish tank. There's a bunch of little fish swimming around inside...
Okay, I've got another coin. And speaking of odd stuff, what's an old-school radiator doing in a high-tech school like this? ...And I can't target it. (Well, at least Shimohi figured out a function of the [triangle] button while searching rooms. It can display, for a second, circles that indicate objects that can be targeted.) So, there's nothing else to check out other than the aquarium. And I'm sure we're not allowed in the public girl's bathroom. So moving on...
'Leave the area?'
-Yes-
-No-
Well, Maizono-san's in the dorm lobby near the entrance to the dorm hallway and Ogami-san's in the same hallway as that "Keep out" taped up door from yesterday. Are there any coins in the laundromat? ...Someone left a magazine on the table. (But you missed and hit...)
Makoto Naegi: A washing machine. Not surprising--this *is* the laundry room, after all.
(What Naegi-kun said.) At least I still got a coin for that. Now to actually target the magazine, seriously, someone should put that back on the magazine rack if they're not reading it!
Makoto Naegi: There's some magazines laying around. Probably to kill time while you're waiting for your laundry...
And... Nothing, apparently there's something interesting to say about that swim suit hanging on the line...
Makoto Naegi: There's a swimsuit hanging out to dry. I wonder whose it is... I mean, I *really* wanna know.
We got a coin for that, but... I think that it's most likely Asahina-san's after all, she's the "Ultimate Swimming Pro". Why wouldn't she have a swimsuit that she wears for that sort of thing? ...Oh, is that a change machine over there?
Makoto Naegi: A vending machine. It's always nice to have a drink while your laundry gets done.
It doesn't look like there's anything else interesting in this room. Moving on.
'Leave the area?'
-Yes-
-No-
Yeah, I have more coins to find! ("Coins" this, "Coins" that! You do remember what they're actually called, right?) Yes, but that sadistic bear doesn't need any more of a boost to his ego. Let's see, Leon-kun's also in the dorm lobby, this time standing near the school entrance... But first, I'd like to see if there's any coins in the dining hall! Would there be any gain to checking the clock again?
Makoto Naegi: There's a clock telling me what time it is... But I can't see outside, so I have no idea if it's even right.
Well, there's checking out the kitchen... Wow! Look at the huge crates of veggies here!
Makoto Naegi: Colorful vegetables have been stacked in a huge pile. There's so many different kinds. And all super healthy I bet. Still, I'd rather have some cake...
And that's coin number five for today! (Wah... Makoto! Are you even...) Dude, I can see where he's coming from cake is delicious! Now, it seems there's something interesting about the knives over there... (More like they'll become interesting in the future.)
Makoto Naegi: There are some kitchen knives hanging on the wall. There's a whole bunch of different kinds. I had no idea you need so many to cook.
Well, for more complex recipes, maybe. But for the most basic recipes, not really. (Oh! There's the meat cabinet! Let's meet the meat!) But not in the sense that trope usually means.
Makoto Naegi: It's a deli-style display case. There's all kinds of food and stuff lined up inside...
And there's our sixth coin!
'Leave the kitchen?'
-Yes-
-No-
'Leave the area?'
-Yes-
-No-
Leon Kuwata: What're you doing, Makoto!? We gotta hurry up and find a way outta here!
Makoto Naegi: Hmm... Should I hang out with Leon for a while?
-Spend some time with Leon-
-Go see who else is around-
Well, since I recall Leon-kun wanting to get into music, I'm wondering why he's doing that...
Leon Kuwata: Y-You're not trying to get me alone so you can kill me, are you...?
What!? No! I'd rather not force anyone else to become a ghost like me... (Even if it means you won't be alone in your situation?)
Leon Kuwata: My fans will all go psycho on you if you do! I'm as popular as any international superstar!
Like I said, Naegi-kun and I are NOT here to kill you!
Leon Kuwata: But if you're NOT gonna murder me, then let's hang out. I don't really wanna be alone, anyway...
Makoto Naegi: I spent some time with Leon... Leon and I grew a little closer today.
("No homo!") *slap* Seriously, dude, what the hell!?
'Would you like to give Leon a present?'
Well, we did save first... So, let's see...
'What would you like to give him?'
(Well, both singing and athletics require a lot of energy. So...) Why not the Overflowing Box Lunch?
Leon Kuwata: For me? Thanks!
Makoto Naegi: Does that mean he liked it...?
I sure hope so.
Leon Kuwata: I'm not even afraid anymore. Now I'm just pissed off... Why!? Why is this happening to me!? This isn't fair, man! I mean, am I wrong?
Makoto Naegi: Oh, um... Yeah, it really isn't.
Leon Kuwata: Right!? Totally unfair. Ultra unfair!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious unfair! (Now you're just being ridiculous...)
Leon Kuwata: Just like having to shave my head right before every baseball game!
Makoto Naegi: Well, I mean...you chose to do that, right?
Leon Kuwata: C'mon, man! Are *you* against me now, too!? I didn't even wanna play! But the coach and all the teachers begged me, so I did it!
...Wow...I...I'm not quite sure what do say to that.
Leon Kuwata: And then they made me shave my head, just cuz it's "tradition." How's that fair!?
Depends, if there's actually a reason for getting your head shaved to play baseball, like if it prevents hair from getting in your eyes and interfering with hitting the ball, that I can understand. But if it really is just "tradition", then yeah, that's just wrong! (But, then again, couldn't he just wear a wig of longer hair when he's not on the field?)
Makoto Naegi: You really hate baseball that much, huh...?
Leon Kuwata: Damn straight I do! Who has fun running around on a dusty field for three hours!?
Makoto Naegi: But...for baseball players, the field is like sacred ground, isn't it?
One would think but, then again, that mostly applies to those who actually enjoy playing baseball.
Leon Kuwata: But it's so not cool! Spending all that time at practice, getting covered in sweat and dirt...
Hey! Earlier, you claimed you, and I quote, "...never gone to a single practice." Unquote!
Leon Kuwata: It's just baseball, right? It's easy! Who needs practice!?
Well, those really talented or skilled at some task can end up believing it's easy and anyone can do it, even when faced with evidence that others need to practice to get even close to their level...
Makoto Naegi: I think the gods picked the wrong person to bless with that much talent...
(What!? Did Makoto just say "gods"!? He's being an unchristian heathen!) Well, in Japan, Christianity is a minority religion...
Leon Kuwata: Still...I gotta admit, baseball wasn't all bad. It did have a few things going for it...
Makoto Naegi: Yeah, right? Like the feeling of camaraderie between you and your teammates!
Well, "Friendship is Magic" after all!
Leon Kuwata: Nah, nothin' like that! I can't stand being around a bunch of sweaty guys. So totally uncool!
Makoto Naegi: Then...what did you like about it?
Indeed, what did you like about it?
Leon Kuwata: Well, I hate studying, right? But I still got into this super fancy school on a sports scholarship. As long as I kept playing, I never had to study!
Uh... Last I checked, even the great middle and high school athletes still had to keep their grades up. Because otherwise that could get them kicked off the team. *sigh* Which is why they usually bullied the smarter kids into doing their homework for them rather than do it themselves if they're too lazy to study...
Leon Kuwata: And besides that...
So, there's another reason?
Leon Kuwata: It made me super popular with the ladies! Booya! Ya jealous?
Not really.
Leon Kuwata: I got to third base in more ways than one, if ya know what I'm sayin'! ...Just kidding!
Yeah, we know. You're talking about sex, even if you are "kidding"...
Makoto Naegi: ...
Leon Kuwata: Heh-heh. I got plenty more where that came from! I'll tell ya more about it next time. Anyway, let's hang out again sometime! Talking to you helps keep my mind off this place...
Makoto Naegi: With a smile on his face and a spring in his step, Leon strolled away. I'm not really sure why, but I guess Leon likes hanging out with me...
Well, at least there's a little bit more hope in this place.
'Leon's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him. You just unlocked the skill Robot Jock! Give yourself a pat on the back. You've earned it!'
Makoto Naegi: Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...
Later, in Naegi-kun's room...
Makoto Naegi: There's still lots of time left in the day. I really don't feel like just sitting here. Maybe I'll take a look around...
As far as the dorm building is concerned, Maizono-san and Ogami-san are in the dorm rooms hallway, Ishimaru-kun and Togami are in the dining hall, while Asahina-san and Enoshima-san are in the laundromat. (Hey, you didn't get any more presents this morning! Get to it!) Fine, we're going to the school store to mess around with the MonoMono machine again... Oh, on the way to the store, I spotted Celestia and Supernova. But, like I said, it's time to see what we get from the MonoMono machine... *6 rounds of that save/use coin routine demonstrated last time later...* Let's see what we got here... Sunflower Seeds, Birdseed... (Better NOT give one that to Yamada-kun.) Fresh Bindings, an Astral Boy Doll, a Small Light, a Meteorite Arrowhead... (That's another one for Hakagure-kun.)
*Outside the shop* (Well, you hung out with one popular person, let's hang out with Junko this time!) *sigh* Look, the main reason Naegi-kun and I spent time with Maizono-san is because she wanted to be around him. I'm not sure how Enoshima-san's going to react to us suddenly wanting to "hang out" with her... (Well, we could go ask her now!) Whoa! Wait! (*teleports to the door to the dorms*) ...I had no idea what happened then. Okay, fine, if you're so desperate to be around Enoshima-san that you'd be willing to activate the "teleport" feature for me. Fine, just... Don't ever do that again! (Okay.)
Later, in the laundromat...
Junko Enoshima: Heeey, Makoto~! Slacking off again, huh?
Makoto Naegi: Hmm... Should I hang out with Junko for a while?
-Spend some time with Junko-
-Go see who else is around-
I'd rather do the later, but, since Niyagi insists...
Junko Enoshima: Yeah, I'm bored too. Let's chill for a while!
(See, that wasn't so bad!)
Makoto Naegi: I spent some time with Junko... Junko and I grew a little closer today.
'Would you like to give Junko a present?'
Again, I saved before this, so... Maybe the "expensive coffee"...? (Are you just giving her that because you know exactly how it was made?!) Maybe...
Junko Enoshima: Uwaaah! Damn, Makoto! You've got pretty good taste!
(So it seems she doesn't know how that stuff's made...)
Makoto Naegi: Does that mean she liked it...?
Well, that worked out.
Junko Enoshima: Listen, I just wanna make this clear right up front. Don't get the wrong idea about any of this, okay?
If you're talking about romance-inclined interests or not, don't worry, I already know that...
Makoto Naegi: Huh? What do you mean?
Junko Enoshima: I *mean* I hope you're not expecting anything from me. Gotta keep my virtue safe, ya know?
*facepalm* There's nothing wrong with female sexuality, but still, Naegi-kun and I will respect your wishes none the less.
Makoto Naegi: ...Huh?
(Naegi-kun's pretty clueless, isn't he?)
Makoto Naegi: Wait, you mean...? N-No, I'm not expecting anything like that.
(Finally, he gets the hint...)
Junko Enoshima: I figured. You're not that kinda guy, right? Looking at you, I get a total "omega male" vibe.
Ouch... (What?) *sigh* "Omega" is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, as a matter of fact. "Alpha" itself is the first letter... (So, Enoshima-san pretty much just called Naegi-kun a loser. Then again, there's quite a bit that Naegi-kun and Shimohi here have in common...) Ouch, now I'm going to need that ice pack...
Junko Enoshima: But still, they say even the tamest guy can turn into a wild animal. So I figured I'd say it anyway.
*sigh* That's not an actual nice guy. A "nice guy" is more like the male equivalent of... (The bitch in sheep's clothing.)
Makoto Naegi: A wild animal...?
(In the sack! ...If you know what I mean? Wink-wink, nudge-nudge...) (That's more money for the reference jar!)
Junko Enoshima: Don't ask me why, but I seem to attract guys like that.
Makoto Naegi: It's probably because she's so, um...flashy...
*facepalm* Dudes everywhere should be insulted for the implication that we're just wild animals that can't keep it in our pants or in any way control ourselves...
Junko Enoshima: They call me up super late at night all like, "Hey, let's hang!" Like I don't know what that means!
Makoto Naegi: "Let's hang." It sounds so simple...
I think it was probably the tone of voice or time of night, if not both, that turns something as simple as that sleazy.
Makoto Naegi: But why super late at night? And why's Junko seem annoyed at it...?
-Hang out-
-Hangar-
-Hang gliding-
Well, the last two don't make any sense. So...
Makoto Naegi: Oh! You just meant hanging out.
Junko Enoshima: Huh? Did you just come to a decision or something?
Makoto Naegi: Oh, uh...no, forget it.
Junko Enoshima: Anyway, so we all get together, but the whole group's full of dumbasses! Keeping creepos like that away is like a full-time job, ya know?
Makoto Naegi: Yeah, it must be tough.
Seriously.
Makoto Naegi: I mean, you're a model and all, so you must be really popular.
Junko Enoshima: Wow, Makoto. You...actually get it.
(Is Shimohi's knowedge rubbing off on him?)
Junko Enoshima: You *do* get it, right? You totally get me!
Makoto Naegi: I...do?
Junko Enoshima: Listen, maybe I can introduce you to some of my friends sometime! So, what's your type? You're super passive, right? So you need an aggressive girl! Yeah, I think that'd be good for you! Someone who'll go after you and not give up!
Well, that's fine too. (Of course it is! There's men and women of all types. Duh!)
Makoto Naegi: N-No, I don't really...
Junko Enoshima: I'll find the perfect girl for you as soon as we get outta here!
(I know Shimohi's a good person, but still, I think that maybe a female version of him would also make a cute couple!) Let me guess, the only reason you're saying "female version" is because we're assuming Naegi-kun is straight. (Precisely.) (What!? But... You...) Yeah, I'm bi. So what?
Junko Enoshima: Ehehe! I hope you're as excited as I am!
Makoto Naegi: Junko seemed really excited as she walked away... I don't really get it, but...I guess she likes hanging out with me?
'Junko's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her. Your maximum number of Skill Points has increased! Hey, look at you go!'
What does that even mean anyway?
Makoto Naegi: Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...
'*Ding dong, bing bong*'
[sarcasm] Great, it's the nightly asshole announcement... [/sarcasm]
Monokuma: Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement. It is now 10 p.m. As such, it is officially nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...
Makoto Naegi: The third day here has already come to an end. When will I--no, we... When are we gonna get out of here?
That's the spirit! We're not going to leave our fellow students behind!
Makoto Naegi: I laid on my bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. And before I knew it, I'd fallen into an uneasy sleep.
Good night, Naegi-kun. Good night...
'Monokuma Theatre'
Monokuma: I need an immediate, fast-acting pick-me-up!
Yeah, so far this is just normal ordinary BORING school life! When are we going to see some betrayal and killing!?
Monokuma: If it doesn't act now, it's the same as giving in to regret. What do you think guides the world? Speed, of course! That's why Formula One drivers are so popular!
Yeah, among idiot rednecks...
Monokuma: Any idiot can accomplish something if they take it slow.
Like a thousand or a million monkeys at typewriters eventually recreating Shakespeare plays or something like that...
Monokuma: Even a human piece of excrement could create a masterpiece if they spent their entire life on it!
Wow, that's even more accurate... I mean, that was my idea all along!
Monokuma: Someone who does things in a timely fashion is both wise and admirable. Straight is better than a curve or an angle. Freestyle is better than the backstroke or breaststroke!
...If that retard, Shimohi, where here "he'd" probably go on about so-called "straight privilege" if not making a stupid reference to some gay swimming animu...
Monokuma: Drive-thru is better than sit-down! A Sunday comic artist is smarter than a graphic novelist!
..."Tis better to be silent and thought a fool then to speak and leave no doubt."
Monokuma: What I'm saying is, speed is the gold standard of the standard world. Which is why I said I need that pick-me-up! (Meanwhile, 0.000002 seconds later...)
---------------------------------------------
That's an odd note for Monokuma to leave the day on, and Daemon Spearmeister has once again proven himself to be pretty much the worse person ever.
On a better note, I've noticed something interesting. Ff you're faced with a decision; later on, if you look at the transcript, you're response will be recorded as though Makoto Naegi actually said whatever your response is. (In other news, during the events of this post, we earned a trophy! "Skilling 'Em Softly"... Yeah, I do know it's only a bronze trophy, but still. An achievement is an achievement!) (But all the achievements in the world won't stop the reference jar debt from being paid!)
