"... Nope, don't recognize any of those. We ready to go?"

>>11066
((Well Rika decided to suddenly disappear, as in, go offline. Go ahead and assume they are ready if you feel like moving on.))

((I'm assuming that one/both of them are following me))

Friends in tow, I leave via the front door and head north towards the junk yard

>>11068
((Both of them. Victoria has decided to tag along as well.))

After some walking you all arrive at what looks to be a giant junkyard. Mounds of trash everywhere, there is a single building amidst it all. There is a sign: "Garbage Disposal Facility".

"... Huh. I was hoping for machine parts rather than plain garbage, but beggars can't be choosers."

I head towards the single building and enter it

>>11070
Victoria: "This is not the beautiful scenery I had in mind. I should complain to the camp counselor."

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

You walk inside the building, leading the group.
Map: http://www.boonce.org/up/waste_facility.png

You are greeted by a long hallway with poor lighting. Cold, metallic walls and floor surround you. There are several small dumpsters scattered about the hall as well, emitting a putrid, almost burnt odor as you walk by.

"Yeesh, this place is a tip. Literally."

I head off and investigate the incinerator, and how it's connected to the trash crusher

>>11072
The incinerator looks incredibly hot, as extremely high temperatures radiate out from it. However, to prevent people from falling in, the only entrance into the incinerator is a small chute with a grating cover. A series of conveyor belts lead into the chute from the trash crusher. Thus, the trash from the junkyard can be poured onto the conveyor belt, crushed up enough to fit through the chute and into the incinerator.

How large is the grating? Is it screwed shut or welded shut? After I've figured this out, I go and look at the generator.

>>11074
Victoria: "What an awful smell. This camp keeps getting worse and worse. I for sure won't recommend this camp to any of my friends anymore. They should have put more work into it. I'm going to give it a negative review now."

The grating is about as large as a queen-sized bed. It is welded tightly onto the incinerator, making it difficult to tear open.

The generator is connected to various turbines. It uses energy from the turbines to generate electrical power. Various wires are connected to the generator which extend through the walls of the building. Looking back on it, you saw these wires hung through the trees on your way here.

"... Somehow, I don't think there will be any visitors to the camp after us."

I start checking around the room for tools of any sort. Screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. Once I'm done, I head back outside.

>>11076
Victoria: "This place is really strange don't you think?"

It's too dark to find anything...

Mion smiles and says "This place could use more light and a cleaning, did you find anything useful?"

Mion uses the flashlight to reveal some hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, lead pipes, and wrenches scattered along the floor.

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)20:04:25

"Heh, thanks for the light, Mion! ... Still, I don't think we're gonna find much more down here than a few tools. I'm heading back out."

I grab a wrench, screwdriver and lead pipe, and place all three in my bag. That done, I head back outside.

>>11078
As you leave the building you see Ozaki heading straight toward the entrance. He takes notice of you.

"The doctor makes his appearance! I should warn ya, Rika and her gang are in there, in case you're planning anything sneaky. If you want though, I can give you a rundown of what's in there."

>>11080
Due to horrible timing on someone's part, Mion and Victoria emerge from the other entrance.

Victoria: "Hey there Ozaki, nice to see you again! This camp isn't much fun is it. There is nothing really nice inside there, just super dark and smelly."

Mion: "noooo Victoria waaaittt."

Ozaki: "Rika's gang? I don't know who exactly you are talking about, however it is impossible that Rudolf, Lucas, Kedge, Blake, Kirigiri, Mion, Victora or yourself could be inside that building at this moment.

So logically speaking 'Rika's gang' must be herself and then that Philip and Dosselwhatever guy? Heh, I think I'll take my chances. Thanks for the warning."

He then runs into the building past you.

"... Well, now I look like a damn fool."
I head off into the scrap piles and begin looking for anything remotely salvageable. Electronics, machine parts etc.

>>11082
You spend the next hour searching the junkyard. You find, among other things:

Broken CRT Monitor
Torn-Up Car Metal
4 Car Tires
Alarm Clock
Broken Playstation 4
Robotic Arm
Bicycle Wheels
3 Gears (small, med., large)
Various LEDs
Resistors
Capacitors
Nuts and Bolts
3 Rolls of Copper Wire
Broken Radio
Shards of Glass
Soldering Iron and Solder
Broken Motherboard

Last but not least you find a statue of a man in a white coat and white hair. You can visibly see some letters as if to mark his name, it starts with a "K" but you can't read the rest...

Last edited at 13/06/15(Sat)09:54:08

I take the wrench out of my bag and put it in my left hand. I put the broken PS4 and the soldering iron and solder in my bag, and carry the radio in my right hand. I make a mental note of where the other items were, and head back to the main building to drop off my loot.

>>11084
((I think that's one item too many but I'll consider the solder and soldering iron one thing to make it work.))

You return to your room, passing by Rudolf and Drosselmeyer in the hallway.

I lock the door behind me, and dump everything bar the knife on the bed.

"Hey Monobear, I thought up a few more questions for you. The locks on everyone's rooms, are they electronic or what? Are there any circumstances under which they can be unlocked without a gold card?"

>>11086
"Yes, the locks are electronic... I think that answers your other question, upupu..."

"Okay... And in the unfortunate event of a power outage, is there a backup generator? How long would it take to come back online?"

>>11088
"Hmmm... There is another one, but it's far away and unreachable from this place. Nonetheless, electricity moves fast. The power would be off for no more than 10 minutes."

((Should a power outage occur, time will slow down to allow for more posts within the 10 minute period.))

"Okay... Last question. Once the power comes back on, what happens to the doors? Do all the ones that were locked at the time of the cut lock again?"

>>11090
"Yes, they will become locked again if they were locked before the outage."

"...Also, before I leave. 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!"

Monobear disappears.

"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..."

"... Tcheh. Can't really go looking for more parts now, can I?"

I decide to wait out the night in my room and get some rest.

((Technically you are free to roam around at night if you want. You just can't go in the cafeteria. Also the game is a bit slow at the moment so I will update when morning comes.))

>>11094
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!"

I head over to the cafeteria to grab some food, and see if anyone else is up yet. On my way, I check the locks on everyone's rooms, and of course, lock my own door.

Last edited at 13/06/19(Wed)08:13:11

You arrive at the cafeteria. Looks like Ozaki was here first.

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

>>11097
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."

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

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

Ozaki goes out the backdoor to investigate. He quickly returns saying that Drosselmeyer's room looks messed up and that he will be breaking in through the window. Lucas and Kedgeworth follow him.

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.

Last edited at 13/06/20(Thu)14:49:15

"... Well, there's no point in standing around. I'm gonna go help Ozaki."

I head over to Drosselmeyer's room and check the door. Has the lock been tampered with? Was there any sign of forced entry? Once I've checked, I'll enter the room and take a look at the scene myself.

>>11100
For purposes of investigation, it seems Monobear has disabled the door's lock. Aside from that, nothing seems out of place about the door.

Upon entering you find Drosselmeyer's corpse lying on the floor. The dresser drawers are all open and are empty. The table is on its side, and the pillows and blankets on the bed are in disarray. The bathroom's door is open; the curtain is open and the shower pointed toward the door. Most notable is an electric generator sitting in the center of the room plugged into an outlet.

>>11101
Kedgeworth asks what you were doing around the time of death.

Ozaki: "Hey mechanic dude, how does this generator work? I'm terrible with machines so if you can find a way to make the lights flicker with this thing you'll help solve this whole case. Got it?

I'm being serious in case you question the logic behind it."

Last edited at 13/06/21(Fri)15:19:42

"O-okay! Right!"

I investigate the generator, and try and suss out it's general purpose in the room, before attempting to use it to trigger the circuit breaker for the room. I then begin addressing Kedgeworth

"I'm afraid I was tinkering with some odds and ends from the scrapyard from about 10 P.M onwards in my room. In other words, I don't have an alibi between then and when I got to the cafeteria.

I can help with the murder weapon though! Well, maybe. I know for a fact that Kirigiri and Mion were amongst the people that took knives from the kitchen early on the first day. I got there before most of the others, but those two had beaten me there. Mion warned me about Kirigiri, and when I went to double-check what she said, I noticed that two knives were missing instead of one. I'm sorry I can't be of more help!"

>>11103
((Kedgeworth left the room before you could tell him your response. That's fine; save it for the trial.))

You inspect the generator in the room. You notice it's far too heavy to be moved around on its own. It's already plugged into a power outlet and running. Using your knowledge as a mechanic, you reason this machine has enough power to supply the entire dorm with electricity.

I unplug the generator.

>>11105
It is now unplugged.

"... Not gonna lie, I was expecting the power to go out when I did that. Alright, I'm gonna explain how the generators work on this island a sec, then I'm gonna need someone to come with me and check the generator in the scrap yard.

So, if you cut the power lines between here and the scrap yard, the dorm goes into a power cut, right? That means everything, lights, locks, all of it is gone until the backup generator kicks in. I'm guessing, if you had this hooked up beforehand, you could cut the power lines, then switch it on for a brief power cut... But why the hell would you want to do that?

I take another look at the generator. Are there any other cables running from it? Are there any marks on the floor showing if it's been moved?

>>11107
There are no other cables and there is no indication that it was moved.

Ozaki: "Well then. That was more simple than I thought. With that all the mysteries in my mind were cleared up. Thanks."

He then leaves the room.

I go and take a look at the shower head. Is it wet? Has it been moved from its default position? I also take note of who's in the room with me now.

>>11109
The shower head is not wet. It has been set at an angle toward the door.

Philip, Blake, and Lucas are in the room.

"... Alright. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room."

I head back to my room. On the way, I check to if Ozaki's door is open, or if Monobear only disabled the lock on Drosselmeyer's door.

>>11111
It seems that Monobear has disabled all locks.
((Also, nice 1's!))

"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!!"

"Shit, that was fast..."

I head to the crash site, making sure that the only items I have on me are the knife from the kitchen and the screwdriver.

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!"
