Odd... did I forget to bring my Swiss Army Knife?

I'll look for it and pocket it if I find it. Either way, I'll then head for the waiting area, taking note of how many tents are pitched.

>>9003
Indeed it is strange, you thought you brought it with but it's nowhere to be found... The only things in the room are a sleeping bag and the note.

You step outside through the bright sunlight into an area enclosed by trees. Nearby is a sign which reads "Watch out for bears!"

It seems the following people have already arrived:

*24 year-old man with blond hair and glasses
*33 year-old man in a red suit fit for a lawyer
*20 year-old girl dressed like a doll
*32 year-old man wearing a lab coat
*18 year-old man with purple hair and a matching scarf
*19 year-old girl with long blue hair
*23 year-old man with pointy red hair
*18 year-old girl with long green hair in a school uniform
*18 year-old man with pink hair and black hood
*20 year-old man with black hair and green eyes
*18-year-old girl with light purple hair.

You should introduce yourself before the activities begin!

"Hello, everyone. It certainly is nice to see that this camp will not be lacking constituents. When I signed up, I was afraid that a camp centered around mysteries wouldn't be very popular or well received.

I'm Rudolf Ushiromiya, who might you all be?"

>>9005
The man in the lawyer's suit responds.

"Pleased to meet you. My name is Kedgeworth."

>>9006
"Pleased to meet you as well, Kedgeworth. It look's like I slept in a tad bit. I would hate to have been the last one to awake...

Did you all awake to find a note and that your belongings have gone missing? Or am I the victim of a theft?"

>>9007
The man with purple hair speaks up. "Well, the camp is certainly quite mysterious so far, hey?" as he takes a seat on a nearby stump.

"I did find a note and I woke up with nothing too. I'm assuming that's the case with everyone here."

>>9009
"Strange indeed..... I wonder how many more people we're still waiting on to wake up."

If I can, I'll try to count the number of tents and subtract the number of people I see to determine how many more we need to wait for.

I will then tell everyone how many I think there are still sleeping.

>>9010
All the tents are arranged in rows and columns. There are 15 tents total, organized in a 3x5 manner.

If the number of tents indicates the number of people, then that means there are still 3 sleeping.

>>9011
The pink-haired man speaks up.

"Heh, morning everyone. Name's Kazuichi Souda... Wait, I didn't miss introductions, did I?"

"Good morning, you haven't missed much.", Kedgeworth remarks.

>>9007
"Hi mister Rudolf. My name is Mion. Believe it or not, all my belongings have gone missing too! I hope we can find that theft soon."

>>9010
The man with blond hair and glasses finally speaks.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Blake Roone. Can't say I expected that many people here. I'm sure we'll get along."

>>9014
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, my name's Lucas Richelieu, if you can pronounce it. I'm surprised by the turnout as well. It's good to see people still read newspaper nowadays, let alone mysteries. Anyway, I hope this summer will be memorable with you all, even though I'm still not sure entirely what we're doing yet."

>Rudolf: "Did you all awake to find a note and that your belongings have gone missing? Or am I the victim of a theft?"

"But... on the topic of that, my luggage is missing too. It seems we're all the victims of gran theft, unless someone else still has their belongings. I should have read that application a little closer now that I think about it... "

The girl with light purple hair finally breaks her silence.

"...I am Kirigiri Kyouko."

"Well then while I also seem to be missing items let my repeat myself now for those who did not hear me the first time.
My name is Toshio Ozaki by profession I am a physician so feel free to call me Doctor.

Anyway that is besides the point. I was promised mysteries upon coming here and that's what I plan to solve. Have any of you seen this Kinjo yet? I bet he can answer our question of missing items."

((If I invoke the active power, will/must everyone know that I am using a power? Is there even a hint given, or can I just kinda choose to use it and nobody will know what happened or why?))

"Ah, right... I don't believe I've seen or heard from Mr. Goldbar at all. Do any of you even remember having met him? We must have all met him when we checked into camp, but I cannot, for the life of me, recall his face, voice, height, etc.....

On that note, does anybody even remember checking into camp? Or even getting into their tent last night? Or even falling asleep? I just kinda blacked out and awoke inside that tent."

Suddenly the wind picks up and it feels as if you are being pushed off the ground by an earthquake. The sounds of several booms reverberate through the air, and upon turning around you can see that all of the tents are being blown apart by missiles! Small dents in the ground have taken their place. Surely anyone who was still sleeping would have been destroyed...

Looking above, you spot a giant helicopter patrolling the area. It's coming closer...! The helicopter dives downward, brushing near the ground past everyone, only to fly back up.

It turns around and again flies downward at high speed, this time crashing into the "Watch out for bears!" sign.

Looks like it made a small crater... Who's gonna go check it out?

>>9020
BGM: http://tindeck.com/listen/ynds

Upon the investigation of the scene, a small creatures pulls itself out of the wreckage, plopping back up in front of everyone.
That thing... it looks like a bear!!!

"Owowow, what a rough landing... And here I was trying to make a super-cool entrance...!"

The bear looks around a few times, scratching its head at the unresponsive crowd.

"What are you bastards staring at?! You act like you've never seen a talking bear before! ...Anyway, I should introduce myself. I'm Monobear, your camp leader! Nice to meet you!"

>>9021
"Can you answer a few of our questions before anything else?

Why do we all seem to have amnesia about having checked in?
Why do we all lack our luggage?
Why did you blow the tents to kingdom come?
Where had Mr. Goldbar gone?"

>Why do we all seem to have amnesia about having checked in?
Upupu, that's a good question.~

>Why do we all lack our luggage?
Oh, that! When you arrived I took it for you. You'll find it in your rooms later!

>Why did you blow the tents to kingdom come?
Because I'm a bear.

>Where had Mr. Goldbar gone?

"Mr. Goldbar? Who's that? ...This place belongs to me, and no one else! And as your camp leader I am obligated to tell you one important thing about your stay here. It's going to be forever! Well, there is one way out... But do you really want to know?"

>>9023
"Yeah, I'd rather know than not know.

Plus, what now? Are you going to take us to 'our rooms' yet? Or are we just gonna sit around staring at the remains of tents?"

BGM: http://tindeck.com/listen/mzkg

"The one way to leave this campsite, the rite of passage... That is, the act of killing another person! Beatingstabbingclubbingbeheadingburningsuffocatingstranglingslaughteringvoodoocursing... The method doesn’t matter. 'Only a camper who kills someone can leave'. It’s a very simple rule. The most evil of actions leads to the best of outcomes. I hope you all cooperate."

Monobear walks back to his half-destroyed helicopter, apparently looking for something.

"Now then, there are some important rules you bastards need to follow. Take a look for yourselves!"

He returns with a signpost and bulletin board, which he plants firmly into the ground. Monobear looks at the bulletin board, reading off the list of rules one by one:

1. The campers will live a communal lifestyle with no time limit inside the campground's walls.
2. The time between 10 PM and 7 AM is called “Night Time”. During Night Time there are places that are forbidden to enter, so please take care.
3. Sleeping is only permitted in the personal rooms prepared for you in the dormitory area. Anyone intentionally falling asleep elsewhere will be punished.
4. You may investigate the campground as you please. There are no special restrictions on your actions.
5. No violence is permitted against the camp leader, Monobear. Destruction of the surveillance cameras is forbidden.
6. A “culprit” who kills a fellow camper will graduate the camp. However, they must not let any other camper know they are the culprit.
7. Additional rules may be added by Monobear at any time.

"Any questions?"

"Killing fellow campers? What the hell? What kind of sick place is this? You expect us to kill one another otherwise we won't be allowed to escape?

And what is this about surveillance cameras? We're being watched? Why? For your own amusement? You can't just make us participate in some sick game for your entertainment!"

>>9026
>>9026
"It's your choice to kill. But you're not leaving this place unless you do. You may not want to, but what about everyone else...? People can become such monsters in times likes these!

...Yes, the cameras. I need to make sure none of you break the rules. Upupupu, if you break the rules you'll receive a punishment... that is, severe bodily harm if you do not cooperate!"

>>9027
"Severe bodily harm? Then you can't kill us either? Meaning you're not the head honcho....

Either way, just take us where we need to go. Seems I have to play along for now."

>>9028
"There's a dormitory area nearby in which you'll be staying. Each of you has a room inside. The key is that Gold Card of yours, I believe you all received one...? No other key can open it! You can find the dormitory on the map on this bulletin board, but it is such a nice day, so you might want to look around first... "

The other players have all asked related questions:

>Blake Roone: "Yeah, no. I may like mysteries, but actually killing someone? Why the hell should anybody here go along with that?"
"Upupupu, it's your choice. But you're not leaving this place unless you choose to kill. You may not want to, but what about everyone else...? People can become such monsters in times likes these!"

>Blake Roone: "You don't get it, do you? What exactly is preventing us from simply taking our leave now? You come here and try to set up rules like you're in charge, but all I see is a tiny toy. You're not forcing anyone to stay here any longer than they want to."
"You say that with such confidence, but look around you... a vast forest with seemingly no way out, and even then... The walls!"

Looking up you can see extremely high walls rising above the treetops, as if built to keep out titans. It would definitely prevent any person from simply walking out...

>Kedgeworth: "..Ah. How very original. Again, I don't see any point in arguing. When will we find out which areas are forbidden to enter during Night Time? And what exactly do you mean by punished?"
"The dormitory's cafeteria is the only place off limits at night for now. And 'punished' means exactly what you think it means... Severe bodily harm if you refuse to follow the rules!"

>Lucas: "Hmm... I thought we would be solving mysteries instead of pretending to kill each other. And if we leave? What then? Your helicopter is not exactly in a repaired state to persuade. And I don't exactly appreciate the liberty you've taken with our luggage... or memory of how we got here."
"...Pretending to kill? You will be killing one another! But let me remind you of Rule #6. Culprits who are caught by other campers cannot leave. ...Get it, upupupupu?~ Also, I have no need for a helicopter. Because I'm a bear!"

Monobear: "Oh, look at the time, it's 10:00 AM! I'm a busy bear, so I must be on my way -- but one last thing! There's a special movie I want you all to see, so take a good look above! See you bastards later!"

Everyone turns their attention to the gigantic TV screens popping out of the ground, taller than even the trees... And just like that, Monobear disappeared into the forest.

The real game begins now. Who can you trust? Who will become a murderer? Will everyone live with hope or fall into despair?

....Welcome to Seacat Ronpa.

>>9029
"First thing's first, I need to go to my room.

Of course I need to know that my key works on my room, but I also need to check other rooms with my key to see if they will really be rejected. Then I go inside my room and check my luggage, taking note of which items are there and which items are missing.

BGM: http://tindeck.com/listen/xydu

As soon as Monobear leaves, the girl with blue hair turns to address everyone.

"Well then, in light of these unusual circumstances...I think it would be for the best if we all make sure to stick together. That way, none of us can do anything without someone else noticing, thus stopping anyone from taking the chance to 'graduate'. This seems to be the best way to ensure that everyone survives this ordeal. ...What do you think, everyone?"

>>9031
"Hold on, missy. The problem is that I can't say for certainty that we're all in the same boat here. If this really is a controlled experiment, there must be certain elements placed to force us into suspicion.

I'd expect that at least one of us here is not an innocent who was dragged into the ordeal. This person must be planted to plants the seeds of distrust in us and will likely be the first to strike.

That said, I can't much trust any of you further than I could throw you."

>>9032
Kirigiri nods in agreement with Rika.
Kedge: "Alright with me."
Mion (to Rudolf): "This is not the time to say things like that!! We have to stay together and find a way to get out of here without any of us doing such cruel things!"

It seems they have sided with Rika on the issue.

"Even with safety in numbers, we'll still have to be careful of the wolf in sheep's clothing.

*sigh* Very well, let's stick together."

>>9034
Kirigiri: "Correct. Monobear would definitely have some kind of mole somewhere to help induce despair. You can never be sure. However...proper communication will be the key to our survival here.."

Kedge: "Rudolf, I still don't see why that changes what Furudo said. I think we should stick together, at least for now. It's too early for anybody to try pulling something. And it'd probably be better if we could keep an eye on each other."

Rika: "Perhaps you are right, Rudolf-san, but there's no way that we can know that. Distrusting each other isn't going to help anything if we can't prove our suspicions. So, I feel that we should assume everyone to be trustworthy until we are given a solid reason to think otherwise. ...That's my view, anyway. Obviously we will need to keep a close eye on everyone regardless.
...Anyway, I agree with Lucas-san. We should investigate everywhere thoroughly before we make any firm decisions. Does anyone have any particular preference as to where they would like us to investigate first?"

>>9035
Kedgeworth: "Exactly. Besides, unpleasant things usually happen after people split up. So if we do have a wolf, he's probably going to WANT to split us up."

Lucas: "Perhaps we should look at the map first, to see if there's any areas of interest. Anyway, anyone who is against the idea of sticking together as a group is against our survival as a whole."

Kirigiri: "Let's start out with the dormitory area, shall we?""

Ozaki refuses to tag along. "Rudolf has the right idea. Fuck groups and fuck bitches. I'm definitely not joining your 'let's not get murdered' group." He then heads off into the dormitory area by himself.

>>9035
"The rooms. We all need to check our belongings. Might as well make an inventory list of all the things we have at our disposal.

While we're at it, we can check all the room locks to make sure only a single key (our own) can open each room."

>>9037
Kedgeworth: "..Right. So now we know who to look out for. Let's just head to the dormitory area."

Kirigiri: "I'll be by myself." She then heads off to the dorm area as well.

Lucas: "Splendid idea Rudolf. Just in case anyone tries anything fancy in their rooms with what they brought with them, we should go in each room one by one, or at least stand in front of each other's open door at the very least. Though, I sincerely doubt anyone wants to hide anything at this point. I then recommend we should head to the cafeteria to see what we can grab. The sooner the better before those who left can gain an advantage."

Sticking together,the group (Blake, Kedgeworth, Victoria, Rika, Philip, Mion, Rudolf, Kazuichi, Drosselmeyer, and Lucas) heads to the dormitory.

Map of the inside: http://www.boonce.org/up/dorm.png

>>9038
"Right, lets test each of our keys on each room systematically. We can start at Lucas's room and move clockwise. Upon reaching a room belonging to someone in our group, we will need to have them enter the room with at least 2 other members and make and inventory of their items."

>>9039
Before you can finish your sentence Lucas enters his room.

>>9040
"Welp, that ruins everything, no use in keeping an inventory if people are going to be hiding stuff. You kids have fun."

I'll then proceed to go into my room alone.

>>9041
You and Kedgeworth enter Lucas's room.
There is a piece of paper taped to the wall.

“An Announcement from Headmaster Monobear”

There is an anti-picking mechanism installed in the room’s locks. Duplicating the keys is difficult, so make sure you don’t lose yours. There is a shower installed in every room. Please note that during Night Time no water comes out. Additionally, only the shower rooms in girls’ rooms can be locked.

Finally, I have prepared a small present for you. In each room is a box containing five items. Those items are what you brought with you to the campsite. However, all of them were accidentally mixed together, and I had to sort them out by hand. Oops! This means you might not get what you originally brought! Well, mistakes happen! ...Also, you bastards sure love pen and paper! Almost every one of you asked for it!"

-Monobear

"Well, what do you have?" Kedgeworth asks.

Nvm then I'll follow him into his room

>>9043
>>2051
Lucas: "I have a Mirror, a Dangan Ronpa Zero Manga, a knife, pen, and paper. Does this stuff sound familiar to anyone? It's not mine apparently. It seems Mr. Monobear swapped our stuff."

He shows the you the inventory to prove he isn't lying.

Kedge: "Since the bear said that almost everyone asked for a pen, almost every room should have one. And even though they can be used as a weapon I doubt we can do anything to contain them. But we should keep the knife under surveillance the whole time. Should we check Kazuichi's room next?"

Last edited at 13/06/12(Wed)14:30:13

>>9044
"We have to check mine next. Since clockwise and all."

We'll go to my room and check the contents.

>>9045
The three of you leave and head to your room. The group follows you and remains outside as you check:

1.Pen
2.Briefcase filled with stationary and journals
3.Cellphone
4.Camping dishes
5.A hand-crank generator

>>9046
"This is what I've got

1.Pen
2.Briefcase filled with stationary and journals
3.Cellphone
4.Camping dishes
5.A hand-crank generator

Not exactly everything I brought, though the dishes I certainly recall as having been mine."

I'll check the cell phone for signal, and possibly go through its memory to find the name of its owner and/or and contacts that seem to stick out.

>>9047
Shoot forgot to mention I also wanted to go through the stationary and journals, again to ascertain their owner or anything else noteworthy.

>>9048
Cellphone's owner is apparently "Dark Kamijou". There is no signal.

The journals in the briefcase are signed with Lucas's signature.

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)06:27:56

>>9049
I hand Lucas the briefcase.

"I believe these are yours."

I then ask around the group to see if the cell phone belongs to anyone. If not, I can always look for the owner later.

>>9050
((My mistake, the phone was someone else's.))

Drosselmeyer: "This is a waste of time, we should all try it at the same time, besides why would I let the possible culprit how to enter my room?"

Philip: "Well now, at the least, we're all clearly aficionado's of mystery -- this cold type of it, at least -- so we can all safely assume that we are all fairly astute and logical. I don't think anyone needs to start feeling suspicion immediately. Of course, inevitably there shall be attempted murder amongst us, but it's safe to say that, for the time being, we are probably all much to unfamiliar with the situation to start cutting each others throats right off the back. Let's all relax, for now, shall we? For now," he says, smiling -- granted, his smile is bitter, as he's clearly enjoying this turn of events not one bit; he smiles nonetheless, to hopefully calm himself and the suspicious inclination of the others."

Kazuichi: "... Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm grabbing by stuff back before anything else." He then leaves the group.

Rika: "Ah, now that you mention it, I think I did bring a pen and paper. I'll take those if you don't mind."

Rika scribbles the names of each item down on the paper.

Rika: "...Also, I'd like to point something out to anyone who's thinking of going off on their own. According to that bear's rules, a culprit can only leave if nobody realises that they are the culprit. ...In other words, they have to kill with no witnesses. Therefore, staying in a large group essentially makes it impossible for the culprit to act, because assaulting any member of the group will immediately alert the rest of us. Basically, the more you isolate yourself, the more you make yourself into a potential victim. Just saying~"

Rika then enters her room.

Kedgeworth: ""Apparently that isn't what some people think, Rika. Even though it's probably the most efficient way to not let anyone die. I don't really think there's any need to follow a specific order in checking rooms and that might prove to be difficult in the first place. It's not like the rooms are really far apart. So I'd rather check mine with the rest of you now so that I don't get suspected of hiding anything."

Kedge then leads the investigation to his own room.

I need to find a way to break away from the group after I locate my items....

"I assume I can leave you guys to making the inventory then? I'm starving and think I'd like to go to the cafeteria before they close tonight."

I will then close and lock my room, stick my keycard in the pocket on my shirt, and will head towards the cafeteria. Of course, I must say that I'll be surveying the area for oddities including other people I may pass.

>>9052
The moment you enter the cafeteria you bump into Mion, who was just leaving.

"Ah, back from eating? Are they serving anything good today?"

>>9054
Mion: "Yeah.. huh I don't know about the food. Oh! Rudolf, why are you here? Huh... I was on my way to meet with you guys. Did I take too long? I just felt like exploring a little bit and I lost the count of time. Hahaha Is it already my turn?"

>>9055
"Oh, after going through my room, I left the rest of them for a bit. I'm sure Rika can go through and get the inventory down. I just needed to be alone for a bit to get some food and do some thinking.

Oh, and is there anybody else in there? Can't be too careful around some of the ones who refused to work in a group with us..."

>>9056
"Oh... Yeah, hummm Souda came in from the backdoor. He might be still in there. He was asking about Ozaki, I'm not sure why.

To be honest, I can't believe that someone is thinking about doing something like that. Take care of yourself okay? I will go back now."

Mion leaves, and out comes Souda from the kitchen.

Kazuichi Souda: "Just me, Rudolf. Grabbing what I need from here before I set up fort in my room. I suppose I should ask you, did you find anything in your rooms that didn't belong to you?"

"Rika is making an inventory of items as we speak, you'll have to ask her. What about you, did you get any items that weren't yours? We can arrange a trade is necessary."

>>9058
Kazuichi: "She's really calm about all this, huh... Let's see, a water purifier of some sort, and picture of someone's boyfriend. You're welcome to either." He walks over to the pantry, taking a look inside.

>>9059
I'll head into the kitchen area looking for food. Preferably food that is still packaged, and perhaps any tools necessary for food preparation (say, a can opener if I find any canned food).

I should also locate a pot to carry all the food back to my room in.

"Yeah, I don't think either of those were mine..."

>>9060
Things inside the kitchen: , cutlery, meat knifes(cleavers and all that), cooking wine, Hot pads, tea, drinking glasses, coffee cups, food processor, silverware, rolling pins & baking gadgets measuring cups & spoons, spatulas & wisks, spices, coffee pot, toaster, bread box, espresso machine, coffee, plates, bowls, pasta bowls, mixing bowls, serving bowls, salad spinner, graters, strainers, vases, wine glasses, pilners, margharita glasses, recyling wraps & ziplocs, pots & pans & lids, stock pots, bakeware pans, broiling pans, fruit bowls, lasange pans, nuts, flavorings, rice, flours, sugars, cereal, cookbooks, vitamins, oils, vinegars, pasta, can goods, crakers, chips, popcorn, pitchers, paper plates, trash can, cleaners, dish rack, sink gear (veg brush, scrubbers, stoppers), step stool, tupperware, trivets, cookie sheets, large platters, large bowls, cutting boards, trays, waffle iron, crock pot, mixer, beater, blender, coffee grinders, dishwasher, dish soap, butter dish, lunch box, brooms, plastic bag collector, hot mitts... etc.

>>9061
I'll find the largest pot I can find and begin carrying things over to my room. I'd like to keep all the knives out of the hands of the other campers, so I'll begin by stacking them all at the bottom of the pot, filling the top with cans of food and a can opener, to cover them up in case I pass anybody on the way back to my room.

After dropping the stuff off into my room, I'll return and continue to pick up more loads of food until I think I have enough supplies for roughly 2 weeks. This will likely need to include water, although the bathroom sink should suffice in theory....

>>9062
Very well. You begin placing each knife into the pot, when suddenly you realize you threw a spoon there instead. Huh, how'd that get there?

There also seem to be a knife and a cleaver missing from the array of cutlery. You then stack some cans and a can opener on top, and take the stuff to your room.

>>9063
I'll put all the knives under my bed, and stack all the cans neatly in a corner of the room. After emptying the pot's contents, I'll return to the kitchen and begin search for other foods.

Preferably a 10 pound bag of dried rice and a rice cooker.

>>9064
When you return you see Kazuichi and Kedgeworth looking at Monobear in the pantry.

"Anyway, this is a special pantry. It fills up with new food each day, to keep you bastards full, so don't worry about it. Just ask for food and it'll show up here!"

It might be a good idea to look for the food there.

>>9065
Yeah, sounds like a good place to check. Though I still need the rice cooker from the kitchen.

I'll check the pantry first, then head to the kitchen to look for a rice cooker.

Upon finding both I'll return to my room with them.

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)12:29:18

>>9066
"Ask and you bastards shall receive!"

Monobear gives you the bag of rice.

You find the rice cooker in the kitchen and return to your room.

I'll find the smallest knives that still has a sharp tip (some steak knives, for instance, don't have points) and put one in each of my inside jacket pockets. Then I'm going to go knock on Ozaki's door. If no answer, I'll head towards the dormitory.

>>9068
After getting no response from Ozaki you go back to the entrance and see Kazuichi coming inside (from the outside).

>>9069
"Any luck out there? Or are we still trapped in here like cattle?"

If he has nothing terribly interesting to say, I'll simply head outside myself and get a good look at the surrounding area.

>>9070
The surrounding area has many trees and a nice trail that splits in three directions: west, east, and south. You remember that the south leads to Monobear's Crash Site, where you woke up this morning. You are not sure where the other paths lead.

You are starting to feel a little hungry.

Yeah, better keep up my health. I'll go eat some canned food in my room, and then take the path that heads east.

>>9072
It takes some time to go get the food and walk to the junction in the road. There is a signpost indicating where to go:

NORTH - Monobear Museum
EAST - Eastern Quadrant

There is also a narrow unmarked path to the south between the trees.

>>9073
North to the museum then.

>>9074
You arrive at the entrance to the museum. Strange to find such a well-kept building in the middle of the forest like this.

Map: http://www.boonce.org/up/museum_map.png

To the office, if it's locked, to the books.

>>9076
You go to the office to find it locked.

You then decide to go to the books when suddenly you see Ozaki emerging from that room.

"Ah, well nothing amazing. There is a map of the whole area back at the place we started which I neglected at first. As for the museum, well nothing too interesting. There are a lot of detective fiction novels. I was going to search the staff rooms next. Yourself?"

"I checked the office, it's locked from the south side. Perhaps it would be worth trying the other doors in. Also I think I'll go inspect the dinosaurs."

>>9081
Ozaki: "Alright then. I was going to go check the sculptures next so I'll check the other staff doors when I am over there. ...Oh and what happened to that group anyway? I realize you must have broken off since nobody else seems to be here. Nobody has died yet I take it?"

>>9082
"Yeah, the group takes too long to accomplish anything... I haven't seen anyone dying."

I'll check dinosaurs and the door to the office from that side

>>9083
There are different kinds of dinosaurs on display here. Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Pterodactyle, Triceratops... and something called a Monosaurus?! It has the body of a dinosaur and the skull of a bear. How strange.

There is a special sign under each dinosaur. "DO NOT TOUCH!"

>>9084
Cute.... if nothing else seems noteworthy, I'll head to the paintings, checking the doors that I pass to the office.

>>9085

The painting area has lots of paintings. Examples: Birth of Venus, Night Watch, The Scream, The Last Supper, The Creation of Adam, Mona Lisa, ...etc. Name a painting, you'll probably find it here.

The door is also locked here. How strange that there seems to be no way to enter...

>>9086
I'll locate Ozaki to establish that I haven't managed to find anything, and see if he managed to find anything. Either way, I do wish to ask him a few questions.

"What do you think about all of this? Do you think there's any way out other than murder?"

>>9087
Ozaki: ""Hmm Probably not. I mean if everyone decided not to do anything I imagine Monobear would cause something to make someone kill regardless. Not to mention those walls keep us trapped here. I think the only way to survive would be to solve each murder as the happen and weed the bad people out as morbid as it is."

>>9088
"So you'd rather be the last one standing via 'weeding out' as opposed to actually killing somebody and escaping via perfect closed room?"

>>9089
"Well not exactly the last one standing, but only once all the easy to break ones are gone can we really start to make plans for escape."

"Sounds like you're just looking for an easy target to kill..."

>>9091
Ozaki: "Bitch please I just want to solve murders. If I wanted to murder half of the people here would be dead by now. Anyway anything else you want to talk about? I think I have explored enough of this place for now."

"Yeah, looks like there isn't much more we can do here. Before we leave here, any chance of you agreeing we share information with each other? If murders do occur, we'll likely need to work together to solve them."

>>9093
Ozaki: "Sure, I imagine we could easily miss something if it was just one person. I suggest leaving any csi'ing to me though as it is my specialty."

Ozaki then leaves the museum, on the road to the dorm area.

>>9094
Yeah I gotta move too. I'll head back to the main building, and try to find the group. Mainly to see if Rika has finished the inventory yet.

>>9095
You arrive at the dorm's hallway to find Ozaki inspecting the security cameras and doors. No one else is there.

Knock on the doors of the group members. If no answer, then I'll check the dining room/kitchen.

>>9097
No answer.

Inside the cafeteria are Blake, Lucas, Kedgeworth, and Kirigiri.

It looks like Ozaki just entered as well.

>>9098
"Yo, where is everybody else at? Also, did you finish the inventory list?"

>>9099
By the time you have asked this question everyone has left through the back door.

I'll follow them and attempt to ask the question again...

>>9101
It seems they are quite fast. There is a split in the path. Up north appears to be a junkyard and west is a rose garden.

I'll go back to my room, and check the entrances/exits and locks. Especially the windows, but I also want to check the door lock.

>>9103
Door lock is automatic. It requires your unique Gold Card to unlock.

Windows are standard. Can't be locked from the outside. There are two windows and one door as entrances/exits. The bathroom contains a door but no window.

>>9104
I'll meander around the dorm for a bit to see if anybody is even here. Otherwise I may just wait for everyone to get back from wherever the hell they went.

>>9105
Suddenly all the TVs nearby turn on, displaying a picture of Monobear.

"Hello, everyone! One of you bastards asked me about setting fire to the forest, so I added a new rule:

New Rule: Anyone found to be destroying trees or other local flora will be severely punished! Non-destructive modification is allowed.

I hope that clears the situation up for you bastards. As for the buildings, they're fireproof. Trust me on this one. Because I'm a bear. And remember, only YOU BASTARDS can prevent forest fires!"

The TVs return to normal.

I'll speak through the door while its still closed and locked.

"Yes? Who is it?"

>>9107
"Oh, Rudolf-san. It's me Mion, I am sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I happen to be looking for something to write and can't find one anywhere in this place, would you mind if I borrow your pen?"

>>9108
"Yeah, hold on."

I'll take out the pen and look for somewhere to write a note. If I can't find any paper in my room, I'll simply write it on the wallpaper in the bathroom. I will write "Mion visited at 8:40"

I'll then open the door and hand Mion the pen.

>>9109
You write the note on the wallpaper.

Mion thanks you for the pen and goes into her room.

>>9110
I'm gonna go check Rika's room again to see if anybody answers....

>>9111
Nope, no one answers.

"Ehhh.... This is a camp announcement. It is now 10pm. Night Time begins now.

The cafeteria’s doors will be locked shortly. You are forbidden to enter it.

Well then, good night. I wish you all have pleasant dreams..."

>>9113
I'll go back to my room then.

>>9114
Shortly after the announcement you hear a knock at the door.

Mion: "Hey, Rudolf-san! It's me again!!, open up."

"Eh? What's up this time?"

>>9116
Mion returns the pen to you and goes to join Rika.

>>9117
Follow her so I can go find Rika.

Rika shows you the inventory list:

Lucas:
1.Mirror
2."Dangan Ronpa Zero" Manga
3.Knife
4.Pen
5.Paper

1.Pen
2.Briefcase filled with stationary and journals
3.Cellphone (Dark Kamijou)
4.Camping dishes
5.A hand-crank generator

Rika:

2. Zippo lighter
3. First Aid Kit
4. Compass
5. Pocketwatch

Mion:
1. A book on swimming lessons
2. Drosselmeyer's Extra Clothes
3. Military shovel
4. Flashlight
5. Knife

Blake:

3.Sleeping bag
4.Fabulous Scarf
5.Knife

4.Saw
5.Rope

Victoria:
1. Satellite phone
2. Bottled Water
3. Sharp Car key
4. “A Study In Scarlet”
5. Bottled Water

"I know for certainty that the shovel was mine, and I believe the zippo lighter as mine too. Any chance I can get those back? Most especially the shovel as I've always been rather fond of it. Or do I need to ask the people who still have them?"

I'll then turn to Mion and say "May I please have my shovel back?"

>>9120
Mion enters the room and sits down on Victoria's bed. "Ahhhh, I"m tired. What a day, that place has everything to scare people. I tell you. Well then, will you be joining us Rudolf-san? This might be a good time to gather information and think about our next plan."

You tell Mion about the shovel.

Mion: "Ohhhh, did you know that it could even open up canned foods? Yeah, give me a second, I'll go get it."

Mions stands up and leaves the room. Very quickly afterward she returns to the door and you let her back inside; she has returned with the shovel and gives it to you.

"Ah, thank you very much."

Turning the everyone else in the room I say "True, we need to discuss our next course of action. Granted, I'm almost tempted to say we shouldn't stay in too large of a group, as we will be unable to move about and explore very effectively. Teams of 2 or 3 would likely be most effective."

>>9122
Rika: "Yeah, I agree with you, Rudolf-san. I really wanted to keep everyone together at all times, but I quickly realised that it just wasn't realistically possible. Besides which, it's difficult to form close relationships and come to trust each other when there are so many people to keep track of...It's regrettable that I can't keep an eye on everyone, but it seems like staying in smaller groups is the best way to go from here.

I don't know if you're aware, Rudolf-san, but Victoria, Mion-chan and I have been working as a group for the past little while. I feel that I can trust both of them, and that we make a good team, so I'm hoping that we can try and stick together throughout this game. If we always try and stay with each other, then we should never be isolated, which should prevent any potential culprits from being able to attack. I don't know you very well at this stage, Rudolf-san, but if you are interested in joining our group, I wouldn't object.

That said, I feel that splitting into groups of two would be a bad idea. The reason for this is that, on the off chance that one of the two isn't trustworthy, they could murder their partner without any witnesses and "graduate". Therefore, I think it is best if we try to stay in groups of three or more at all times if at all possible. Of course, I'm not saying that I would feel afraid to be alone with Victoria or Mion-chan, but setting aside emotional reasons, it is a logical precaution to take."

"Nonsense, if a group of two existed and one killed the other, the murderer would be the most likely suspect. Killing your partner is bad because you'd come under a great deal of scrutiny about it and would likely be easily found out."

>>9124
Go check the cafeteria door. I want to know if it's locked. I also want to peek into any the windows on the doors (assuming the doors have windows on them).

>>9125
There are no windows on the doors.

As you open Victoria's door to leave you see Ozaki crouched near that door.

"Uhhh.... guys......... that lone wolf fellow is out here."

>>9127
I then turn to Ozaki

"So uhhh... whatcha doing there? Spying on us?"

>>9128
"Yes... ... people should be sleeping right now. Everyone else has their lights off. I was worried that you guys were planning something but it seems your conversation is civil enough. You should get some sleep, night."

He then goes to his room.

Afterward you check the cafeteria. The door ((oh, right there is no door on the map... hmmm -- wait!))

The door to the cafeteria has disappeared; in it place is a wall!

>>9129
"Doc, wait. What is it that you're really after? I find this hard to believe that you're spying around without some goal.

>>9130
Ozaki: "Hmm? Well yeah that should be obvious. I was doing a quick patrol before sleeping. If you catch someone about to commit a crime it is more likely they will reconsider rather than continuing with it. Anyway you should get back into your rooms and stay there for the night, even a short encounter in the hall could prove to be your last."

He then enters his room and closes the door.

>>9131
I'll say my good night to everyone is Victoria's room, explaining that it was Ozaki outside eavesdropping on us. I will then proceed to carefully enter my room.

>>9132
You do so. Do you go to sleep immediately, or...?

>>9133
I need to check the room for abnormalities. The windows, the bathroom, under the bed, in and behind any drawers, etc.

>>9134
Everything is the same as you had left it.

>>9135
I'll bring my pillows, blanket, and shovel into the bathroom, lock the door, and go to sleep in the bathtub.

Monobear Theater

Monobear: "You know, I always try to do my best, but sometimes I just get distracted. It's really annoying when you're sitting there innocently, and all of a sudden a fly comes and interrupts your thoughts! And it happens again and again! It's almost like they want you to hit them! ...However, if I hit them, I question my morality. What makes it okay to kill bugs, but not people? Why is it okay to torture farm animals in factories to feed ourselves but feel great shame from watching those animal shelter commercials featuring dogs and cats? ...The ramifications of this double standard plague my thoughts too often."

((And so ends Day 1. That took way too long. I'll try and speed up the posting, but you guys better get killing each other soon. Or else we won't have anything to solve! However, you all did a good job exploring places. I look forward to a calmer playing speed... hopefully, less posts with more meaning, allowing the passage of in-game time to go faster. I've noticed that activity is at its highest from 7-12 and 16-20 board time, so perhaps you can plan ahead to post then. It's good to take a break from posting every now and then.))

Monobear: "Good morning, you bastards! It’s 7 in the morning! Time to wake up! Let’s all strive to do our best today!"

>>9137
Let's check my room's contents to see if anything has changed. The most especially to make sure the entrances (door and windows) are still intact and locked.

>>9138
After doing a thorough inspection, nothing in the room has changed. You then go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Looks like Ozaki got here first.

One by one, everyone else arrives, except for Drosselmeyer.

"Looks like we've got to go find Drosselmeyer. Hopefully nothing ill has befallen them."

>>9140
Rika: "Mi-. Good morning. I wonder where Drosselmeyer is? ......I suppose I shouldn't be too paranoid about it. He could just be sleeping in. I guess we'll just have to see whether he arrives or not."

Kedge: "Anyone notice the lack of knives? Seems like someone's been busy."

Suddenly the TV turns on, and you see Monobear on the screen.

"Attention, you bastards! A body has been discovered! Following a brief period of investigation, we will commence our camp trial!

Let me explain the supplementary rules regarding 'graduation'!! The fact that 'someone who kills another can graduate the school' remains unchanged, but... There is one more clause to that rule that must be checked, right? It’s no good just killing someone. You must hide what you’ve from everyone else! And so, the system to judge whether that was accomplished or not... ...is a 'camp trial' session we will enact a short time after a killing occurs! This 'camp trial' will commence a few hours after murder takes place! It will be a battle between the 'culprit' who committed murder... And the 'innocents' - the rest of you students!!

During trial, you will get a chance to debate 'who among us is the hidden killer' among yourselves. The result will be decided by vote, held at the end of the trial session. And then, if the answer you reach is the correct one... The culprit who disrupted public order will be 'punished', and the rest can go on living our camp’s communal lifestyle. On the other hand, if the wrong person is voted for as the culprit... The real culprit who committed the crime stays alive, but all the innocents will be 'punished'. If that happens, that will also be the end of our communal lifestyle, of course!

If I may speak bluntly... I’m talking about execution, of course! Execution means execution. Eh-kse-kyu-shon. Zap-zap in the electric chair! Choke-choke from poison gas! Maybe I’ll tear your body up in a hurricane storm! Judging people is a duty not to be taken lightly. Your very lives depend on it! Those are the rules of the 'camp trial'!!

Isn’t it time you start your investigation into who the culprit is? This is a file I’ve written, containing details about the body. It’s name is... ...The Monobear File!! It didn’t escape me that I’m dealing with a bunch of amateurs here and there’s a limit to what you can learn from examining the body... So instead, I gathered up technical details like the circumstances and cause of death for you. Isn’t that handy?! Aren’t you dying to know how I know the cause of death? I saw the whole thing happen through the surveillance cameras! I’m a first-hand witness!! Anyways, good luck with your investigation! It’s not like you have any choice! Well then, I’ll see you in a bit at the camp trial!"

MONOBEAR FILE: The victim is Drosselmeyer. The time of death was around 11:45 PM. The body was found in his room. Cause of death is a wound to the face made by a sharp object. Other than that, there are traces of damage to the head and right leg.

"Ehhh... I am getting bored... We should start the show, don’t you think? The camp trial... everyone is waiting for!!

Well then, let me announce the gathering place! Please go to the crash site where all of you first met. The trial will begin once everyone arrives. Anyone who doesn't show up will be punished severely! Upupu... I’ll see you soon!!"

You arrive at the crash site. The broken helicopter still sits where you last saw it, smashed to pieces into the ground. Looks like everyone else has arrived.

Monobear: "Upupu... Is everyone here? If that’s the case..."

Suddenly, you feel the floor below you rumble like an earthquake. The ground moves down, and once you're several feet underground, two metal plates close off the ceiling. You're in an elevator. The rough metallic sound of the elevator reverberates as you travel downward. As if to compliment the mood, the elevator kept tumbling on down and down. Finally, the elevator stops, and everyone goes through a single door...

Monobear: "Nyohoho! You’re finally here! Well, what do you think? Isn’t this just like a courtroom? The scenery is on par with a Hollywood movie, isn’t it? Well then, everyone - please take the seat with your name written on it. Hurry up! Hurry up!"

You do as Monobear says and go to your designated seat. The seats are arranged in a circle so that everyone is facing each other. You notice there are two extra seats with the names "Dark Kamijou" and "Wright" written on them, for a total of 14 seats.

Monobear: "Upupupu... Let's begin!"
