The only things inside the tent are the sleeping bag and note; it is otherwise empty. Your backpack is also empty, which is strange because you thought you had brought some things with you... ((There are no pockets for the sake of simplicity.))

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
*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!

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

Faking some nervous laughter, I take a quick look at the position of the sun in the sky, and use it to try and guess what time it is.

It appears to be early morning. It's also a nice and sunny day outside.

Someone new emerges from his tent.

"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?"

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

>>11006
"Good morning, you haven't missed much. Kedgeworth, by the way."

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."

"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."

Suddenly the girl with green hair motions toward you.


"Hi, my name is Mion. You didn't miss my introduction, since I introduce myself to everyone one by one. That's my way of doing things. Let's have fun today!"

"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."

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?

>>11014
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!"

It seems a few others are as puzzled as you are.

Blue-haired girl: "I don't...huh?"

The man in the lawyer's suit: "That was quite the show. Is there anyway we can get you to take off the costume?"

Blake Roone: "Well... what the hell. What kind of joke is this? It talks? A talking bear toy, our camp leader?"

Monobear: "...Costume? Toy? I'm a bear, can't you see? Not a person in a bear outfit! What an insulting thing to say to your new camp leader..."

Lawyer: "*sigh* I'd rather not argue for now. I apologize. Now can we move on? We've been waiting for quite a while."

Blake Roone: "That's does NOT look like something a camp leader would do! Who are you really and what's your goal here?"
"My goal? You came here for murder mysteries, did you not?"

Rudolf approaches the bear and asks him the following questions:

>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?"

Last edited at 13/06/12(Wed)10:59:42

The others have all agreed to hear the one way out.

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?"

>>11017
"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.

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?"

>>11019
Lucas: "That's the most rational thing I've heard all day. Perhaps we should all stick together while roaming the camp grounds for some insight to how desperate our situation is. I mean, can we really all live here forever? Do we have the supplies? I'm ready whenever everyone else is."

The man known as Rudolf has a different opinon however: "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."

>>11020
Mion: "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!"

Kirigiri: "Correct,Rudolf. 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.."

Kedgeworth: "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?"

Rudolf: "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."

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.

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

Rudolf: "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."

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

"... Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm grabbing by stuff back before anything else."

Once I reach my room, I enter using my Gold Card, and lock the door behind me. I then take a look around to try and get a better idea of the layout, in particular keeping an eye out for any of the items I may have brought with me to the island.

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

Inside you find:

1. A picture of Makoto Naegi
2. Pen
3. Computer (Windows 7 installed)
4. Flashlight
5. Personal water filter

Layout of the dorm room: http://www.boonce.org/up/dorm_room.png

"...."

After looking at the picture briefly, I smash the frame it's in (assuming it's in one). If there is a frame, I use one of the shards of glass left to start tearing part of the bedsheet into thin strips. If not, I'll just try and use my hands.

>>11025
Very well, you smash the frame and tear the bedsheets into strips.

I open the window, then see if it's possible to pull it shut and lock it by tying the strips to the handle and pulling on them. Afterwards, I stash the strips and the picture of Naegi in the dresser closest to the door.

It is certainly possible, and you do so.

((If you're not online later and the others want to inspect your room, will you let them in or ignore them?))

((My room's always locked. Always.))
Tinkering now done, I put the other 4 items in my bag, check that my door is locked, and jump out the window. I push it shut behind me, and head for the cafeteria.

>>11029
((Got it.))

Just before leaving you hear Rika's voice in the hallway.

"...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~"

After jumping out the window you enter the cafeteria via the back door. Mion appears to be going to door to the hallway (from the cafeteria) but notices you upon your opening of the back door.

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

"Hey, Mion! Have you seen Ozaki around here?"

After calling to Mion, I head into the middle of the room, keeping an eye on the doors to the pantry and the kitchen

(there's no door between the hallway and the cafeteria on the map. might want to fix that.)

>>11031
((Lol yeah, it's too late to fix though...))

Mion returns the smile and points to the knives in the kitchen... specifically a spoon oddly placed among them.

"Not Ozaki, Kirigiri."

"... You saw her take it? Crap crap crap!"
I charge the kitchen, deliberately putting my body between Mion and the knives. Once I'm sure she can't see them, I grab one and pocket it whilst pretending to freak out.
"You've gotta be shitting me, we've been here an hour and already people are planning murders?"

>>11033
You pocket one of the knives. Upon looking at the cutlery you realize that a cleaver is also missing.

Mion: "Yeah exactly, I can't believe it myself. Oh I am sorry, I need to go now the others are waiting for me. You know, this is already suspicious enough for me to be in here. If you want we can talk later about it. "

Before leaving the room, Mion finally says "Please don't tell what I told you. It might comes in handy."

She then returns to the hallway.

>>11034
You can hear Rudolf and Mion talking in the cafeteria from here.

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?"

Rudolf: "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..."

(are they in the cafeteria or hallway?)
If in Cafeteria: Making sure the knife is hidden, I return to the cafeteria.
"Just me, Rudolf. Grabbing what I need from here before I set up fort in my room. I suppose I should ask you two, did you find anything in your rooms that didn't belong to you?"

If in hallway: I move to the pantry, shutting the door to the kitchen but leaving the pantry door open. I have a look around, mainly for canned food and any cameras/microphones Monobear's using.

>>11036
((Cafeteria.))

Mion has already left the cafeteria.

Rudolf: "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 if necessary."

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)11:12:29

"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."

Keeping an eye on Rudolf as best I can,I head over to the pantry, leaving the door open, and have a look around.

>>11038
Rudolf: "Yeah, I don't think either of those were mine..." He then goes into the kitchen, looking around.

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

When you open the pantry door, Monobear jumps out!

"Oh, hello! I was just stocking up the pantry with food! Don't worry, we have all kinds of food available! Just ask for it and we'll supply it!"

"JESUS!"

I stumble away from the pantry door, and try and get a glimpse in, before addressing Monobear.

"Actually, I've been meaning to ask something. Is there a way to get hold of you, or do you just pop up when you feel like scaring someone?"

>>11040
"Both. Calling my name works fine."

Behind Monobear you can see shelves stacked to the brim with foods.

"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!"

You also notice Kedgeworth has entered the cafeteria and shocked at Monobear's performance.

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)12:08:21

"...Tcheh."

I head back outside, and make my way around past the other side of the building. On my way, I take note of everyone's windows, specifically, which, if any, are open. Afterwards, I head back in through the main entrance.

>>11042
Everyone's windows are closed.

You head back in through the main entrance and can see Blake, Lucas, Drosselmeyer, Philip, Victoria, Rika, and Kedgeworth standing around in the hallway up ahead.

You also bump into Rudolf again at the entrance.

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)13:12:35

I ignore everyone and return to my room

>>11044
Done.

Locking the door behind me, I take out the knife I brought with me from the kitchen, and use it like a screwdriver to begin disassembling the laptop! Parts I'm intrested in are wireless transmitters, receivers, any cabling, the battery, and as many screws as I can can get!

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)13:40:27

>>11046
Being the Super Seacat-Level Mechanic, you successfully extract the parts you need:

1 Lithium-Ion battery
8 Screws
1 Wireless Antenna
Several thin cables
...and anything else that could realistically be salvaged from a laptop.

I put the computer components, and the glass and strips from earlier all on the bed

"Oi, Monobear, you around?"

>>11048
"Right here! Did someone call?~"

"You know the rule against breaking the cameras? Does modifying the cameras count as breaking them, or using them as part of a trap? Also, are any of the rooms in here soundproofed?"

>>11050
"Upupupu... I won't object if you use them for killing... The rule was 'destroying', not 'modifying' after all. And these rooms are soundproof, so even if you shot a gun or screamed for help, no one could come to your rescue. That's the kind of despair this place has."

"...Much obliged, Monobear. Last question. Are there any other buildings out here besides this one, or am I gonna have to go and look for them myself?"

Whilst I talk, I remove the camera and speaker from the wall, making sure to try and keep as much of them intact as possible, and dump them on the bed.

((I'm assuming that the setup is the same as DR, where monobear has a screen for announcements in every room?))

>>11052
((Yeah, the setup is the same. Screens everywhere.))

"Finally, I was wondering when you bastards would start searching for other places! Since you came to me for help I'll spill the beans. There's the Monobear Museum east of here and a rose garden to the west. You'll also find a junk yard and waste disposal to the north, and the south is the campsite I crashed my helicopter. This could all be found by reading the map on the bulletin board at that crash site... but hardly any of you checked it!"

You successfully take apart the camera, and Monobear leaves ((assuming that was all you wanted to ask)).

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)15:01:24

I remove the screen from the wall as well, and set it on the bed alongside the rest of my parts. With that done, I remove everything from my bag bar the knife, and head out into the corridor, locking the door behind me. Finally, I check the corridors for anyone.

"Hey guys. Guys? Hellooooo~"

>>11054
The people currently in the hallway are:

Blake, Rika, Drosselmeyer, Victoria and Mion.

((And from what I can tell they are all offline, if that makes a difference.))

((looks like I'm waiting on one of them to wake up, like hell I'm going off alone.))

>>11055
((Out of curiosity when is the best time for you to play? I think for the lurkers I will have them tell me when they go to sleep and wake up so I know not to keep refreshing their pages over and over.))

((4 hours from either side of now is probably when I'm most active.))

>>11058
((Gotcha. That also seems to be when most other players are active as well.))

>>11059
((Well that took long enough))

Rika: "Oh, hello. I assume you've searched your room? Would you mind presenting your findings?"

Mion: "Hey there Souda. It looks like the group has decided to split up after all. I haven't seen my room yet do you want to come and check it out with me?"

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)11:14:18

"Hey ladies! From the top, there are cameras and speakers in all the rooms, Monobear gets freaky when you fiddle with them.

I did a bit of tinkering with the windows, and they're really secure. Couldn't find a way to lock them without, well locking them. Also, I've got a picture of someone's boyfriend and a water purifier that don't belong to me in my room, and my fishing rod's missing. I'm more than happy to trade to get it back.

Finally, there's a scrap-yard of sorts to the north of here, from what I've learned. Whilst I won't go into anyone's rooms, I was wondering of one or both of you would mind scouting it out with me?"

>>11061
Blake, Philip, and Drosselmeyer have gone into their individual rooms.

Blake: "Well then, I'll go check my room now. I'll leave the door open so keep watch on me if you think I'm suspicious."

Mion: "That seems interesting! I am getting bored waiting around here. But I really want to know what's inside of my room too! Do you mind if I go see what's in there before we go outside? Maybe I have your fishing rod, who knows."

Rika: "Yeah, we have been stuck here for quite a while, huh? Sorry about holding us up like that. Maybe we shouldn't be disturbing people immediately after they've gone into their rooms. I suppose that if the four of us are the only ones who are willing to stick together, we may as well go and investigate the area ourselves and then come back to check on the others later. Anyway, we should probably check Mion-chan's room regardless, so I guess that will be our first stop."

>>11063
((Gah, people love to post right when I edit things. Anyway your post still works as it is.))

>>11063
Rika and Mion return, asking you if any of the items they found are yours:

A book on swimming lessons
Military shovel
Rope
Fruit seeds
Sleeping bag
Fabulous Scarf

"... 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".

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)17:05:29

"... 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.

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.

"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...

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.

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.

"... 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!"
