Rudolf and Drosselmeyer can be seen standing in the hallway doing nothing. Philip has just entered the cafeteria.

>>13109
Kirigiri decides to go and see what Phillip is doing, walking into the cafeteria as well.

>>13110
He leaves through the backdoor, going on the path to the rose garden.

The darkness of the night is soon remedied by the presence of lights hanging from the trees. The trail is illuminated enough to clearly see where to go next, although going anywhere off it could mean jumping into total darkness.

It's a clear sky tonight, with many stars visible above.

Kirigiri raises an eyebrow, and continues to silently follow Phillip.

>>13112
Philip suddenly veers off the trail, into the darkness of the forest. Luckily, your passive skill allows you to keep track of him. He walks around the perimeter of the rose garden toward the shed.

>>13113
Kirigiri blinks and quickly goes after him, but does so quietly, his actions are obviously suspicious.

>>13114
You hear Ozaki's voice come from the gazebo, and can see him standing there.

Ozaki: "Oh hello. Philip was it? What are you up to?"

Philip: "Oh, y'know, just stalking the darkness hoping to find an unknowing victim in a plight of murderous opportunity," he responds, with a chuckle. "...Just looking around, actually. Sitting in the dormitories doesn't exactly strike me as something that'll help calm ones nerves. ... Although, I suppose wandering around in the darkness does make me a slightly more attractive target, doesn't it?" He chuckles once more.

Kirigiri continues to spy idly behind the bushes, carefully observing the conversation while trying not to get noticed.

>>13116
Ozaki: "...I see. Well come here a second I want a second opinion on this. I'll back away if you don't trust me."

He points to the table, keeping his distance.

Philip approaches the table without saying anything.

Ozaki: "What do you make of this? As far as I know nobody called Will is in this camp. I have my own thoughts but I would like to hear a second opinion."

Philip: "Well, it is possible that there was a group here -- before us -- and this is a remnant of said group's interactions with the environment. I mean, considering how ... incredibly well planned this entire situation seems to be -- what with all the walls and cameras and shit -- it's not far fetched to assume that we're not the only ones that have been here. Or, not the only ones presently here, for that matter."

"Or, rather than from somebody in a similar situation to us, it could be somebody else just in the area. A sort of... distraction thrown into this event to perturb us; make the game more interesting. The massive quantity of cameras, televisions, lights -- everything -- all adds up to somebody with a great deal of wealth and resources, so this being some form of twisted 'reality television' wouldn't be surprising... and reality television is never real, it's always staged, and there's always shit thrown into the mix to make the otherwise inane and uninteresting lives of morons into something vaguely more amusing and palatable to whatever low-IQ, bad-taste crowd the show's being aimed at."

"... Or someone from our group just, y'know, scrawled that name on there as a marker, irrelevant of whether or not their name actually is 'Will' and whether or not anybody else would know that's their name."

Kirigiri continues to spy, pondering on who "Will" could be.

Ozaki: "I see... Yeah those are definitely ideas that come to mind. However for the last one you have to ask 'why'. I mean... well actually nvm... it's probably nothing. I'll talk to you later. I'm getting a bit tired."

Ozaki then leaves the rose garden, walking past the dorms.

>>13119
Kirigiri stays to see where Phillip would go.

>>13120
...Philip ends up following Ozaki, although he returns to straying off the path into the darkness. This is, of course, no problem for you, should you decide to follow him.

>>13121
Kirigiri decides to silently follow Phillip again, staying quite far behind. However, she tries to keep enough space for her to listen in on what he's doing, as well as see what he is doing.

>>13122
Philip follows Ozaki down a trail southwest of the dormitories. He watches Ozaki from the shadows as you watch them both. While Philip remains silent, you can hear the sound of wood getting chipped near Ozaki, as he stands near a canoe.

After a few minutes Ozaki leaves, taking the trail east, and after some more time passes Philip goes to investigate the canoe. He then goes through the darkness of the forest in the direction of the dormitories.

>>13123
Kirigiri continues to silently follow and spy on Phillip. She looks on nervously at the leaving Ozaki.

>>13124
Philip returns to the dormitory and goes inside to his room.

((I will be going to sleep now.))

"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..."

>>13125
Kirigiri sighs deeply and places her hand on her chest to calm her down, she casually walks back to her dorm and unlocks it. Walking inside, she closes it behind her and locks the door again. Going over to her bed, she lies down and rubs her forehead.
"Ugh...what a tense day.."

>>13126
After the announcement, Kirigiri yawned lightly and started drifting off to sleep, her eyes fluttering lightly and then closing.

>>13128
((Gotcha. Will update when something becomes relevant or morning comes; game is a bit slow at the moment.))

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!"

>>13130
Ugh...so tired..
Kirigiri slowly opens her eyes, sitting up and looking around hazily. She gets up and slowly walks over to the door, stretching a bit before she opens it and walks outside, seeing who else exited their room.

>>13131
It looks like everyone else is going to the cafeteria. You follow.

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

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

>>13132
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.

>>13134
...!! So it did happen..
Kirigiri sighs and shakes her head lightly. She goes around and begins looking for where the body is.

>>13135
You go to Drosselmeyer's room. It seems Monobear has unlocked the door for purposes of investigation.

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.

>>13136
"...Hm."
Fu...well, it's time to investigate.
Kirigiri goes over to the body first, performing an autopsy on it as she examines each detail ranging from his clothes, to the wounds on his body.

>>13137
His clothes seem to be slightly dirty. ...That is, actually having traces of dirt on them. There is a bloodstain on his clothing where his leg was cut. The same cannot be said about the two cuts on his head and face, which were undoubtedly made by a sharp blade. You deduce that the wounds were inflicted within quick succession of each other. His face, mangled yet still recognizable, must have suffered the killing blow.

He carried with him to his death a flashlight and canned food. His Gold Card could not be found on his body.

>>13138
Alright...I should remember that for future reference.
Evidence Bullet: Autopsy.
Kirigiri gets up and begins observing around the room for other abnormalities as well.

>>13139
((Hah, evidence bullets...))

There doesn't seem to be anything else that's out of place about the room. As previously noted, the room appears to be in disarray, but there are no traces of blood anywhere else in the room.

>>13140
"...No blood?"
That's a bit odd...the room is in disarray. Typical signs of a struggle, but he's bleeding from the leg.. Wouldn't there be more blood around?
Kirigiri nods and heads out of the room and roams around to find more evidence.
Evidence Bullet get: State of room.

>>13141
As you leave the room Kedgeworth appears, asking you what your take on the murder is.

Lucas also asks to anyone in the general area, "So, anyone find any clues so far? Perhaps everyone's location around the time of death might be a place to start."

You are currently in the hallway.

>>13142
"Ah...it might be bad to do so.. But I suppose I can trust you on this one. There was no blood in his room, but there was signs of a struggle, at least...displaced objects. I'll form a conclusion later, but I'll need to investigate some more."
Kirigiri doesn't respond to Lucas' call, and instead roams around the hallway and around the area to find more evidence.

>>13143
There doesn't seem to be much of interest in the hallway. ((Is there anywhere specific you want to investigate?))

>>13144
Kirigiri decides to head back to the generator room she saw before, believing something crucial might be missing there..

>>13145
You return to the generator room...

The generator is still inside. In fact, it's much too heavy to be lifted by any single person.

>>13146
"Where could he have gotten that generator..?"
She pondered, going outside to examine the junkyard for any points of interest.

>>13147
You spot Kedgeworth searching the junkyard.

You also find the statue of a man with white hair in a white coat Victoria and Mion were talking about yesterday.

Kirigiri walks over to Kedgeworth.
"Kedgeworth...did you find anything of interest?"

>>13149
((Oh, I should have been more descriptive in that previous post.))

Not only was the generator there, but it was set to 'OFF' as well.

>>13150
Kedgeworth: "Nothing so far."

>>13151
"That's alright...keep looking then."
She nods and decides to go back to the rose garden, looking about for anymore evidence.

>>13152
You search the entirety of the rose garden. The carving in the table reads "WILL WAS HERE..."

There are no signs of blood splatter on or around the table, inside or outside the shed, and anywhere else in the rose garden.

>>13153
Kirigiri ponders a bit and decides to retrace her steps from the night before, going to the area of canoes where Ozaki was.

>>13154
At the lake you find the canoe where it was last night. Inside are carved the words "Nessy is watching your..."

You find that a bloodied cleaver has washed up on the shore.

* Ding-dong-ding-dong *

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

"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. Upupu... I’ll see you soon!!"

>>13155
Evidence Bullet get: Bloodied Cleaver
Evidence Bullet get: Nessy is watching your...(?)
>>13156
"C-Crap...I can't form a conclusion yet, let's hope everyone found what they needed.."
Kirigiri clears her throat and heads back to the crash site where she first met the group.

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!"
