(OOC: Zulfikar) "Man, I'm hungry again. Maybe I can raid the pantry while no one's there? No, wait. Last time I did that Haruka was in there, and that wasn't a pleasant experience. Not in the least."Daniel heard his stomach growl after he spent some time with Lucca. Without much thinking, the Procrastinator made a beeline towards the pantry, despite what he just thought. When he arrived, he was pretty happy. No Student Council President was there to berate him for the fact that he simply existed. So he moved to the fridge and opened it, in the exact same way he did before that malicious panda robot appeared. "Hmm, cheese? Nah, I had that earlier. Hamburger? Might be an option... Oh, what's this? Raspberries? Well, I'll take 'em then. No one's here, and I'll leave some for the others..."Taking a handful of raspberries, he savored their taste one red fruit at a time. He knew that they wouldn't fill him up in the slightest, but he hoped that they would last him until dinner, if he survived, that is. The Procrastinator didn't have any reason to kill anyone yet, so he thought that he was safe for now. All he could hope for was that he wasn't the first to die. |

Once he was finished spending time with Angie, Zulfikar decided to explore the pantry next. He thought about heading to the fridge, but decided against it. "What kind of idiot would walk into a fridge, anyway? All someone needs to do is close it on you and you're freezing to death." Putting his opinions of the walk-in fridge aside, Zulfikar explored the pantr at his leisure. The pantry was filled with strange, foriegn ingredients, which Zulfikar would have to try once he gets some spare time on his hands.
While exploring the extensive selection of seasonings, Zulfikar encountered someone who he didn't recognise from the introductions. "Hello, you're... someone I haven't met before! I guess that means I should introduce myself then. I'm Zulfikar, and I'm the ultimate comedian. Anyway, you should introduce yourself too, just so we can get done with the formalities." Watching Daniel eat raspberries was beginning to make Zulfikar hungry himself, but Zulfikar wanted to look around more before he ate anything, mostly because he wanted to find the most obscure foods in the pantry. Unfortunately, Zulfikar was no cook, so making something good from them is another story.

"Mmm, these are so good. Hm?" Daniel saw a new face. Well, at least in person.
"Yeah, I agree." The Procrastinator told the Comedian. "I was pretty quiet when I introduced myself, wasn't I? In any case, I'm Daniel Saotome, the Ultimate Procrastinator. And no, I'm not exactly proud of my title. Nevertheless, it's nice to meet you!"
He was unsure what to talk about with Zulfikar. Maybe what the bear talked about in the ballroom was a good idea?
"So, Zulfikar, do you have any idea what the bear wants, aside from all of us killing one another?"
Awaiting an answer, he held out a new batch of raspberries from the fridge. "Would you like some? They're pretty good."

"Wait, you're telling me that you got into hopes peak for not doing things? That sounds pretty fucking great to me! I wish I could be rewarded for sitting on my ass all day." Zulfikar's tone suggested genuine anger at Daniel's "talent." There was something about it that bothered him, but he couldn't figure out why it did. "Lucky bastard. I had to actually try to get into Hope's Peak. Then again, anyone who ended up here can't be that lucky.""Nope. Don't know, don't care. Getting out of here is all that really matters." Zulfikar tried to reason why Daniel would greet Zulfikar with such a depressing topic. "Is this that "water cooler talk" I heard so much about in America? I thought it would be more uplifting than this.""Sure, I could use a... lunch? Hey, do you have a watch? I forgot what time it is." Zulfikar had just realizwed that he didn't actually know how long everyone was knocked out. However, he did know that raspberries were delicious. "Their sweetness reminds me of West Sumatra, but they just don't have that diabetes-inducing cholesterol that Sumatran food does. Disappointing." |

"...Is this guy serious? What the hell is his problem?" Daniel decided to ignore the abuse Zulfikar hurled at him. He could figure that one half would be mad as hell because he 'defiled' the 'sacred' halls of Hope's Peak Academy, while the other half would be impressed that he was even accepted into it. The Procrastinator couldn't care less, though. He heard it all a million times before, and in every tone of voice he could think of.
Daniel nodded when Zulfikar mentioned that getting out of the mansion was the biggest priority right now. "Yeah, you're right.", he merely said. "We need to escape this place as soon as possible."
When the subject switched to the watch, Daniel shook his head. "I don't have a watch on me, but I saw that it was around 1:15 PM when I was on my way here. We weren't K.O'd for too long, I guess."
The boy then scratched his head. "Yeah, raspberries are great, aren't they? I'm sure there's a lot of delicious things you could do with them."

"That's easier said than done. It's not like Monokuma is dull enough to leave the front door unlocked." The futility of the situation was finally setting in on Zulfikar, and he was getting desperate to escape. "Maybe I should try the front door. It can't be that unlikely."
"...Wait, can we even trust the clocks? Monokuma could have easilty tampered with them." The longer he thought about it, he became more and more suspicious of everything around him. "Great, now I feel horrible. I really need to stop talking about this." As Zulfikar pondered his inner worries, he noticed how calm Daniel was, which gave him the iddea for a lighter topic to focus on. "Since you're a procrastinator, you must be used to anxiety like this." Zulfikar wasn't exactly pleased to talk about Daniel's talent, but anything was a better topic than they're mansion prison.
Raspberries are good. If only I knew how to cook well." Zulfikar continued with his dismissive tone, although he didn't mind the conversation. Perhaps his meeting with Angie set his expectations a bit too high.

"It'd be a worth a try, wouldn't it? At the least it'd be funny." Despite saying that, Daniel could guess that Monokuma locked every single way out of the mansion. "What would be the point of him locking us up if we actually had an exit hiding somewhere in here?", he thought.
The clocks subject bothered the Procrastinator a bit. "What would he get out of this? We'd be..." Then he figured out what Zulfikar was talking about. "Ooh, curfew, right? If he messed with the clocks then there is a probability that we're not in our rooms by 10 PM, which gives him the right to 'punish' us." Daniel shuddered at that thought. He recalled when it would be 'day' and 'night' under Monokuma's rules, but he didn't recall if there was any difference in time from when he entered to when he was being dismissed.
Daniel merely shook his head when he replied. "Anxiety, sure. But the only thing at stake at those points in time was my grade, and not my life. I'd wager there's a bit of a difference between a grade and a human life, you know? I'll be honest here. I'm at my best when under pressure, and that applied mostly to my school work as well."
As Zulfikar mentioned that he wasn't a good cook, Daniel commented. "I'm no cook myself, but there's a few recipes I know. I'd rather not raid the kitchen anymore, though. I'l leave the cooking to the staff here."

Zulfikar's face lost it's slight smirk, and moved to a look of frustration as a replacement. ""Man, fuck this. I need to get to my room. I don't know what that bear is trying to do, but I am not fucking dying here today." Zulfikar's movements were unexpectedly twitchy, and it looked like he was irritated for no reason in particular.
Zulfikar took the time to compose himself a bit before responding. Zulfikar returned to his original relaxed position and spoke. "I guess you'll do well here, then. Everyone here is going to be familiar with anxiety soon. Feel lucky that you're prepared." Zulfikar appeared to have returned to his personality from before. Dismissive, sarcastic, and slightly condescending, as if his previous outburst didn't even happen.
"Assuming Monokuma hasn't killed the staff already." Zulfikar became a bit distant after speaking, most likely to think about how the staff fit in to all of this. "The staff I met were all clearly hiding something. Could the staff have set all of this up?" Zulfikar entertained the thought for a bit, before deciding that a group of people all having the goal of getting high school students to kill each other was clearly impossible. "One crazy person I could believe, but there's no way all of the staff was in on this."

Daniel was surprised at how quickly his conversation partner could lose and restore his composure, as if he was a robot with several switches labeled 'Calm' and 'Angry' among others. Despite seeming like a jerk, Zulfikar was definitely right in the things the two talked about, and a smart person to talk with.
"Indeed.", The procrastinator said. "It'd be really sad if one of us missed curfew on the first day. In any case, I won't stop you. Do what you need to, and remember to stay careful, Zulfikar. I know I will."
He stopped on his way out when the Comedian mentioned that the staff might be dead already. "That... could be possible. That's one way to force us to interact with one another, I suppose. Regardless, I'm out of here as well. It was nice talking to you, Zulfikar. We should do that more often, unless one of us dies."
Putting his hand on the door that lead outside, he began thinking. "If the staff really is dead, then we're forced to make our own food, right? I do hope none of the others puts poison in our meals. And hopefully there isn't even any poison here to begin with, unless you count the stuff people use to clean the dishwasher."
After having stepped out of the pantry, he thought some more. "Now what do I do next? Hmm... Wandering around aimlessly might not be the smartest idea. Maybe there's someone else I can spend time with before I retreat into my room like a hermit."

"It'd be really sad if one of us missed curfew on the first day. In any case, I won't stop you. Do what you need to, and remember to stay careful, Zulfikar. I know I will."
"Well, I guess I'll find out how late you can be up tomorrow. Not everyone is going to sleep as early as I am." Zulfikar was speaking with a somewhat friendly tone now but his earlier dismissive personality was clearly present. He didn't sound very pleased, but Zulfikar was glad that he could talk to Daniel. After all, thanks to Daniel Zulfikar wouldn't miss curfew. "Hopefully those books in my room are worth a read. I need something to keep me occupied."
"Well, I'll see you around, then. Don't die." That last line might have been a bit tasteless, but Zulfikar was sure that Daniel wouldn't mind. A much as he didn't want to admit it, he had a nice time talking to the procrastinator. "You know, he's not too bad of a guy, for such a procrastinator." Zulfikar gave a small goodbye wave to Daniel before heading off on his own. "Well, maybe I don't need to go to my room. A little more exploraiion couldn't hurt... right?"
