[ She musters up the meanest glare she can manage. ] Haha.

[ ...That jab still hurt the tiniest bit. She doesn't like being called uncute! ]

Don't you have somewhere else to be?

💩💩💩

[desbearingly]

You bet! At the top of the ferris wheel with YOU! Duh!

🤦‍♀

[255000255000255]

No!

[ She pouts angrily, trying to keep her voice down now that she knows how to do that. Yay! ] I'm here to have a good time and-and meet people! It'll look bad if I'm seen with you!

[ Won't someone think of all her future romantic partners?! ]

🐻 <3 🤦‍♀

[desbearingly]

Awww... You don't want to ride the ferris wheel with me? You think all the boys will think you're compensated dating an older bear?

[ It's... not exactly wrong. Just minus the dating part. It WOULD make her look bad to certain people if they saw her. ]

🤦‍♀🔪🐻

[255000255000255]

NO! [ She huffs, starting to stomp away from him. See, she can do that now!! ] Riding a ferris wheel is one of the most romantic things you could ever do with another person! And I want to do that with someone special!

[ That person being Souji!

...And Minato. And Jason. And maybe Wirt. And a few other people she's forgotten the names of, but she'll get back to you on them. ]

[desbearingly]

Oh? The person who knows your secret isn't special enough?

[ He's PAWsitive that none of those people would probably care at all about her... body issues, but he's certainly happy to find out! ]

And in a week will you still feel so hoppy pushing me around?

[255000255000255]

[ Aaand she freezes. ]

What did you say?

[desbearingly]

Well, oooookay! See you later!

[ He turns to start walking away on his stupid little robot bear legs to go get some cotton candy or something. ]

[255000255000255]

[ Oh, look who's suddenly running after him! Awkwardly, but she does it!

She is huffing up a storm, her face painted with rage as if he just turned into Yuri. ]

Were you--how did you--

[ SHE IS SO TEMPTED TO PUNT HIM SO HARD. ]

Are you blackmailing me?!

[desbearingly]

Depends! You want to ride the Ferris wheel with me?

[ A long pause. ]

Do you think I don't spy on my spies? Do you think I'm STUPID?

[255000255000255]

[ Her hands ball into fists. She thought she'd done a good job locking things down! No one was supposed to see, and! And!

This is such bullshit!!

When she speaks, it's through gritted teeth. She does not like being one-upped. ]

Do you want to sit on the right or the left?

[desbearingly]

[ His paws clap in bearish delight. ]

Oooh! Lets go, lets go! I'll even ask them to stop us at the top!

[ You know! The most romantic gesture! And then, to add insult to injury... he offers her his paw. Soft squishy paw. ]

[255000255000255]

[ ALL THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES BETTER APPRECIATE HER FUCKING SACRIFICE.

With a quiet moan, she haltingly takes his hand. She puts her other hand over her pocket, which has her device inside, shocked that she'd actually like to be back in it for once.

Ugghhhh his paw feels so weird! And the height difference is making things sooo much worse. ]

Yaaay. Can't wait. So romantic.

[ Maybe she'll jump from the top once they're up there... ]

[desbearingly]

[ Ah, this is what he lives for! The acceptance! The lack of hope! Once her hand is securely around his paw he gives it a soft, mocking squeeze before walking proudly toward the Ferris wheel. Thankfully, it's not far off.

It's like she was waiting for someone she actually liked to take her there or something.

Of course it doesn't take long to get on and he slips some monopoly money to the card operating the ride with an elbow and a grin. ] Do a bear a favor and stop us at the top, huh?

[ And then he opens the little tub door and looks back at Monika. ]

Ladies first!

[255000255000255]

[ Everything about this is horrible. Sooo fucking horrible. Where were all her lovers when she needed them? Hmph! She should send them some strongly worded poems.

Monika grumbles quietly and thumps down into the seat, scooting as far to the opposite side as she can with her arms crossed. It's probably futile, but it makes her feel better. ]

Aren't you such a gentlebear? Haha.

[desbearingly]

[ Once she has settled herself in her seat, Monokuma hops into the tub and closes the little plastic door. With a wave at the ride operator he turns and climbs up onto the seat directly next to Monika.

To lay a paw on her thigh. Maybe even digging into a spot where he saw her get stomped on awhile ago by that doofy looking guy with the tie and short hair. ]

So, why do you think I called you up here, Monika-chan?

[255000255000255]

[ Monika winces, but forces herself not to make a noise. THIS BEAR WILL NOT SEE HER SUFFER.

She grits her teeth, pushing out an exhale. ]

To be even more of an asshole than you usually are?

[desbearingly]

Upupupu!! That's cute, Monika-chan!

[ Smack. Smack. SMACK on her thigh. ]

I was going to just let you have fun today, did you know that? I thought it'd be the nice thing to do since in a week you'll be at your highest despair! But... do you know what I saw?

[ Then his little claws come out to tap on her bruise too. ]

[255000255000255]

[ FUCKKK. She breathes in sharply with each hit, uncrossing her arms so she can clutch the side of the tub. Kind of regretting the bruise now. Just a tad.

Monika stares pointedly off at the horizon, refusing to think about those claws. ]

My video! I know. Thanks for ruining a nice moment, jeez.

1/3

[desbearingly]

Mmmmmmnope! Well, yeah, that too!

[ He finally stops assaulting her and instead shifts in the seat to stand. He's so light weight that it doesn't really affect the movement of the tub at all. Then he plops himself onto her lap so he can force his way to try and look at her face.

Then, calmly. Is he smiling more somehow? ]

Kiyo~

2/3

[desbearingly]

-taka~

[desbearingly]

ISHIMARU!

[ He throws his arms up for emphasis. ]

[255000255000255]

[ Monika shuts her eyes, seriously considering that jump from before. Or maybe shoving him off since he's unrestrained. ]

What about him?

[ Part of her is dreading where this conversation might go, but she's still going to try playing dumb. SHE WILL STICK BY HER LOVE. ]

[desbearingly]

You know he's from my world and just so happened to neglect to tell me he was here when I asked about the others, huh?

[ Almost as if he read her mind, or maybe he's just very self-aware, Monokuma grabs a hold on the side of the tub. His short legs kicking idly over the side of her thigh almost happily as his head tilts and his other paw comes up to his chin. ]

I know you aren't trying to pull a fast one on me, r~ight~?

[255000255000255]

[ She glares at him. ] I thought you only wanted info on the people you named! Why would I think to tell you?

[ GOD CAN HE PLEASE GET OFF HER LAP? ]

Maybe you should've been more specific!
