This takes place at the literature club, before the events of Session 1, but after the events of Session 0, hence the name Session 0.5!

Chapter Text

Monika: "OK everyone, before we get to playing over the weekend, lets share character backstories! That's technically a literature based activity, right?"

Sayori: "Yay!"

Natuski: "I'm down!"

Yuri: "OK..."

Monika: "So, who wants to go fir-"

Sayori: "ME! ME!" *Raises hand and waves it*

Monika: "OK, you go first!"

Sayori: "Happ's parents were people of high power. One day some adventurers came in and killed Happ's parents, leaving her to grow up on the streets. She has no idea what it's like to have parents because they were murdered when she was really young. She was part of a little rag tag group of kids who's parents died and didn't want to go to the orphanage."

Everyone else: "Wow..."

Sayori: "What?"

Monika: "That's dark!"

Natsuki: "Yeah, I mean, I expect that kind of thing from Yuri-"

Yuri: "Hey!"

Natsuki: "But you're almost always sunshine and rainbows!"

Sayori: "Well, as Yuri said before... You don't know me?"

Monika: "Alright, with that sad story out of the way, who's next?"

Yuri: "I'll go!" *Raises hand quickly* "I mean, I would like to go next..."

Monika: "Go for it!"

YurI: "Amaryllis grew up with no parents, but rather in a group of criminals who kidnapped her to sell her to the black market. The criminals saw something in her so they let her live and made her one of them. Amaryllis isn't her actual name, the group just named her after the flower. She grew up learning how to fight, steal, and lie her way out of trouble. She knows no other way of life."

Sayori: "I like it, it's very interesting!"

Natsuki: "You totally ripped off the no parents thing from Sayori..."

Sayori: "It's fine, she used it in a unique way, so it works!"

Yuri: "Thank you Sayori..."

Sayori: "Still kinda weird..."

Yuri: "Oh, they named her Amaryllis after the first thing she stole!"

Sayori: "Aside from their hearts!"

Everyone: *Mix of groans and sounds of adoration*

Monika: "I guess that leaves you Natsuki!"

Natsuki: "Um..." *Pulls the book out of her bag and flips to a specific page*

Nastuki: "Valerie has been training for war for her whole life. She was in a great war at only 15 and she almost lost her life, but someone saved her. Her body is covered in scars from the war, but also her mind has scars. If you ask her she'll tell you the story behind every scar, all but the one going across her face. Valerie's whole life has been around the war and now she's just looking for anything to do now that her life mission is over."

Sayori: "Wow, I wasn't expecting something so gritty!"

Monika: "I'm pretty sure half of that was ripped off the flavor text for the Soldlier background..."

Yuri: "I know for a fact that half of that was ripped off the flavor text for the Soldier background..."

Natsuki: "Hey, if my character is going to be ripped, her backstory might as well be!"

Monika & Yuri: "Boo!"

Sayori: "Heyo!" *Hi-Fives Natsuki*

Monika: "OK, so, see you all tomorrow night for our first session?"

Sayori: "Yeah!"

Natsuki: "You got it!"

Yuri: "Sounds like fun!"

Monika: "Cool! This is gonna be great!"
