The Midnight Club1
*running*
*pant, pant…*
Crap, crap, crap! What the hell was that?! What in the actual hell was thaaaaat?!
A’ight! A kick-butt monologue’s gonna go right here!
It’s been 5 days since Ono-kun from the neighboring class, class 78, disappeared. A large-scale search conducted by over 300 people has ended in vain…!
It is at this point that the investigation team comes to a conclusion. The city has been seeing a string of unsolved murders as of late. And the perpetrator is—
“It’s… It’s the psycho killer clown!”
Ono-kun must have been captured by him. If that’s the case, then he’s already…!
His life may be over, but man, I’m OVER THE MOON!
*running*
Howzzat sound?
Not the time for your crazy stories right now…!
Sorry, Ono-kun! I might end up writing a whole script with this as a plot!
Just run! We don’t have any time for this!
Aye-aye, sir!
*running*
*pant, pant, pant…*
*running*
The hell are you doing, Muu-chan?! I mean, Muneuji! Hurry! Over here! Run!

Guys! Let’s go in that classroom! We gotta hide!
Alrighty! Open sesame!
Kaguya, hurry…!
Ugh…!
Close it, close it, CLOSE IT! Hurry up, goddammit!

*door slams*
What now? Should we barricade i—
Huh? For real?!
I’ve always wanted to do that! Let’s pile up the desks super friggin’ high!
Cut it out, Idiotake! That’s not gonna help! How the hell are you so calm…?!
……

I agree. I know this sounds strange, but I think someone’s been using it.
No, not someone… Something…
…Look…
*gasp* Everyone, come over here!
What’s that? A school uniform and shoes covered in slime?
And…there’s something glowing under it.
……
Don’t touch it! What if your hand melts off…?!
…It’s fine.
*squishing*
Ugh… This is…

*wet plop*
Uwagh…?! Something fell from the ceiling…
(Could it be…?)
(Is there…something up there…?)
Hey, guys… When this kinda thing happens in the movies…
Stop talking. Please.
Everyone looks up, and…
Jesus Christ, stop! I’m gownna kill y—2
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
*pant, pant, pant, pant…*
