Words do not hold their original meanings today. They are thrown merely to degrade others or to lighten a situation. Rarely do civilians nowadays recall what the actual meaning of the word was. People vomit words such as 'winsome' and 'preprocessing' when in actuality that word 'handsome' or 'beautiful' could've been used. They either use words to sound intelligent, or because that word is now the one used to describe a particular scenario.

It is truly a tragedy, but that is how the world evolves. Even if the so-called geniuses despised the world's advancement in history, these geniuses would've come to terms with it if they lived a generation ago. Life is different for everyone, and it must be embraced no matter what. People believe their hardships are the worst ever in humanity when in reality, it's not. The world is ever changing, and it is most certainly better than that from the past.

People are becoming smarter as every second passes by. Babies are being born into this world and more land is being found. People are trying to conserve energy and solve the problem to global warming.

Even if these problems have been formed now, these problems can only be solved by the world's advancement. The solution to solving the dwindling lack of food can only be found in this generation where scientists discovered the concept of making artificial food.

It is wonderful. This world was truly a wonderful place.

It was magnificent. It was beautiful.

It was truly a wonderful world in Mayari's eyes-

-that is, until she had been rudely awoken, forced out of that wonderful paradise.

Opening her emerald green eyes, she realized that the color of her irises were uncanny in comparison to the dullness of her surroundings. Her eyes were sparkling and a beauty, expressive without needing a face. Her irises held a picture of her surroundings, and once captured inside the dullness of the setting only threw her off.

She was staring up at a light. A dim light that flickers on and off repeatedly. The ceiling that held the light together was a horrible white color, painted in cobwebs and cracks. It seemed like that whiteness was beginning to turn into a horrid vomit yellow, albeit faintly.

Where am I?

That was the first thought that circled through her mind. She felt strands of her black hair in her dry lips, and quickly she coughed it out.

She registered the fact that her head was lying on a flat pillow. It wasn't soft nor was it hard- it was just bland.

She also registered that her body was lying on a bed. A hospital bed, to be exact. White sheets, an uncanny feeling of discomfort- it was definitely a hospital bed she had been sleeping on.

Why though?

Why was she sleeping on a hospital bed? Her heart throbbed, and she forced her body to move. Placing her hands down as support, she sat herself up.

Having pinpointed that white ceiling and bed, Mayari came to a conclusion that she was inside a hospital room- and that educated guess was correct.

The room she was inside in was definitely that of a hospital room.

Not completely a hospital room that most civilians would find themselves in, but that of an old, worn down room.

The walls were white, yet like the ceiling atop the walls were beginning to tear and there were cracks everywhere. It was old and dusty, dust bunnies scattered on the ground. Mayari could even see a spider from the bottom left of the corner, the little critter beginning to make a cobweb from scratch.

There was an IV Pole that was hooked to the right side of the woman, though it was empty except for a few droplets of purple liquid. The cabinet to the left was completely worn down, brittle and metal rusty. On top of the cabinet were medical supplies that ranged from syringes to scissors to tissues. It frightened Mayari, and she immediately diverted her attention to the windows.

The windows were covered up, barred and completely ironed away. There was no light to be seen from the outside world, the iron curtains having trapped Mayari inside, secured and unable to be removed. There were even spikes surrounding the edges of the windows, daring her to even try.

Okay… Mayari bit into her lips. She felt cold sweat trickling down from her forehead, chills sending down her spine. This is obviously a hospital, but at the same time… It's pretty worn down and creepy. Where am I?

Mayari looked down at her light brown hands. They were shaking.

Don't worry about it, the woman assured herself, her breathing long and vocal. It's alright for you to to be scared. I wonder if there's anything I could find if I could go outside.

Her eyes paid attention to the iron door. It was closed, slightly torn and rusty.

She pursed her lips. Her body was shaking. Her heartbeat was echoing inside of her brain, her face paling.

She frowned. She slapped her cheeks.

Don't be scared! You can do this, Mayari. Remember your motto- 'Short people live longer lives!'

Assuring herself two or three more times, the woman jumped out from the bed. That only seemed to do her worse, her entire body stiff.

"Ow…"

Mayari groaned, stretching her arms and kicking out her legs. She rubbed the crust from her eyes before continuing forth.

She placed her hand on the door handle. It was cold and rusty. Mayari could feel the metallic paint rubbing off, sticking to her fingers.

The door creaked open. Mayari poked her head out of the door, taking a look down the hallways.

Dark, worn down, and dusty.

… It's like I'm in some horror game. Are zombies going to attack me?

Mayari forced a smile from her lips, however the moment she brought a foot out did she instantly regret it.

Something dropped from the ceiling.

It was a letter. It was a letter colored with thorns and crimson.

What the hell?

Mayari froze as the letter gently fell to her foot. She eyed it for a moment, still. Nothing happened. Now curious, albeit still fearful, the raven grabbed the letter with the tip of her fingers. She brought it slowly to her face, now reading it to herself.

["Dear Mayari Liu, the Ultimate Epidemiologist,

Welcome! It seems like you have woken up quite earlier than the rest of the patients here. That isn't bad nor is it something to concern yourself over, but it is something that I must keep note of as your caretaker, nonetheless the others' as well.

Now, I cannot be here at this moment, but please do not fret. I will be here soon enough to answer any questions you and the others may have, but for now you should wait patiently. You could wake up the others that are inside this building, or you could wait in the lobby. It is up to you.

Do not worry about who I am nor what you are doing here. Everything will be explained shortly.

Sincerely,

Your Caretaker."]

Mayari Liu

Ultimate Epidemiologist

Mayari frowned, looking at the letter. She looked at it for a second time. A third time. And then a fourth time.

Yes, she was completely clueless.

She was completely clueless as to what was about to come.

… And that is the preview to this story! Yes, this is my third story out here that is a SYOC, but I have a lot of motivation for this particular story! I am hoping that I will be able to finish Disparity (most likely) and AoD (though to be honest it might be at the halfway point instead) soon when this story gets running.

Let me explain a bit about how this story will be. This story will be much more darker than the other two stories, the theme for this case being Ignorance vs. Knowledge. There will also be other themes inside of the story including Danganronpa's original themes though~

Also, if anyone does want to join a Discord server I have up for this story, please do tell me so~ I'm more than happy to invite you in~

RULES:

1. Please only use PM, do not submit characters through reviews.

2. No bullying is allowed here. If I see anyone bully someone else, their character will be disqualified.

3. You can send up to five characters. At most I will accept two or three into the roster if needed though.

4. Like always, please do not make a character 'perfect'. A character being perfect will only ruin the story, and the fun that'll happen in the story.

5. I do not want any recycled characters being submitted. A character who's from a story that's dead are fine however. If I see that a character is being recycled or has been recycled, they are disqualified.

6. Please title the form with 'TPPCI - [Name, Talent]' so I can keep track of the submissions.

Please remember that this is my story and I am doing this out of fun. I will try to update this story as quickly and efficiently as I could, however I do not want people to continuously harass me to update. I have a life outside of Fanfiction XD And, yes, I have the luxury of making your characters suffer.

I might ask you questions about your characters at times, just a quick heads up.

The deadline for this story will be in either late December or early January (in 2020, haha), however I can extend the deadline if I need and also, if you must need an extension please tell me at least five days before the deadline passes.
