LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED space mode info post

The students of the ???th Class emerged from the team-building simulation to an odd sight...

Monobear is gone, booted out an escape hatch into the infinity of space(-time?). The computer consoles scattered around the space station and the screens in the bridge now show the image of a cute rabbit friend, urging you all to make fwiends! and not lose hope!

She's going to get you all home, she promises!...But since Monobear gunked up the coordinates of your homeworlds with nasty despair (wait what how does that even-), it might take a while. While she and her family work on recovering the database, she's relying on her students to keep the ship spick and span and running smoothly - nothing too difficult required! It'll leave you with plenty of free time, she promises. And who knows? If you use that free time to make some friends, she might have an easier time fighting despair to get you home.


Welcome to the Space Life of Mutual Killing ...Hoping? This is an unofficial DRRP musebox based on Dangan Ronpa's School Mode and derived from the Mock Trial for DRRP Round 2. This musebox is open to characters from all rounds - who is Usami to leave refugees from despair out in the cold? We make odd stops to pick up stragglers.

So what's in store for you here? Let's start with locations. Almost every room has a small computer terminal set into the wall somewhere, through which Monobear once issued his morning and evening announcements and Usami now greets the classes in a much less threatening manner.

The Interdimensional Despair Hope Station is outfitted with a full dormitory wing, divided into a girls' side and a boys' side. Each wing has its own set of showers, and all rooms are outfitted to accommodate their occupant's unique needs and interests. They may find their possessions inside. That bear is nothing if not thorough.

Connected to the dormitories by a simple hallway is the mess hall. There's food here. Also knives. NO STABBING

Not far from this area is the elevator to the trial room. Monobear is gone, but this room is still tucked into an eerie corner of the station, a reminder of the grinning toy's despairful plans. Everything in here is chrome.

The bridge used to be Monobear's center of command, but it's now vacant except for the faint sounds of Usami's fiddling behind the screens. The computers are all locked down tightly from meddling hands, but if you ask nicely and promise not to mess anything up you might be given some access. There's a nice view of space from here.

Monobear's influence has been likewise purged from the laboratory, where the machines that once carried out horrible despairiments have been shut down permanently, ready to be reassembled into much more useful...things. The lab is outfitted with all kinds of cool equipment for conducting experiments of all kinds, from biological experimentation (NO EXPERIMENTING ON CLASSMATES USAMI IS WATCHING YOU) to tests employing the vacuum of space and the....the whatever's going on out there with space-time.

Space travelers need to keep themselves in top shape! The gymnasium is an all-purpose space, and the light-up markings on the floor can easily be switched with the wall panel to match whatever game you feel like playing. Also deployable are bleachers, basketball hoops, goals, tennis nets, and a seemingly endless supply and assortment of balls from a hatch in the wall.

Shhh, quiet in the library. A truly impressive array of books from various worlds are tucked away neatly here. There's also a bank of non-restricted computers here for tech types to fiddle around on.

For those getting a little tired of chrome and rivets, the biodome offers a more artificially natural setting. From a small farm to a deep aquarium tank to a thick indoor forest, the biodome houses a little slice of planetside for everyone's need. The chickens here are not bombs, we promise.

The rec hall serves a mishmash of purposes - half of the space is more of an art workshop, and the other half is a more general lounge area. My creativity is tapped out for this place, toss suggestions for things you want to see or just make shit up at a whim.

Am I missing anything you want? Feel free to comment to this post with fun and funny locations you want to use and have used. This Despair Hope Station is quite extensive...who knows what strange diversions it holds?


There's also a holodeck on this ship, of course - the students of the ???th Class used it on their first day here. Oddly enough, though, it's now locked - when you inquire as to why (or bang on the door enough), Usami will appear on the nearby computer console and explain that as much as she'd love to talk to everyone face-to-face, she feels having people go in alone might prevent some of the more reclusive or homesick types from interacting with their classmates as much as they should - after all, this room can create simulations of locations from students' home worlds (though it's not required. This thing can do pretty much anything.)

She's put one restriction on use of the holodeck - in order to use it, students have to buddy up! And no ditching your partner once you're inside, either. The holodeck is to be used only for fun excursions with friends. No Trip Tickets required; just hope and love and all that jazz.


....Usami may be a little hard to swallow, but she's got one thing right - making friends is pretty cool. In fact, getting to know someone well enough might unlock a magical event...that most inexplicable contact of minds and hearts usually reserved for protagonists...Kokoronpa. (Here's a less romantic version. Linked things are for Maizono and Ishimaru, if you want to avoid vague DR character spoilers.)


Go nuts, guys!
