"..."
It's time, isn't it? This letter gives me everything I need.. Go to the camping area. Simple enough, but I can't shake this odd feeling...have I been here before? No...I haven't, obviously.. I can't ponder for too long, I must get going, my objective is ahead.

And so, Kirigiri nods to herself and crumbles the note in her palm and holds it there for the time being. Walking out of her tent, she walks over to what she believes to be the waiting area. It is time for this life of mystery begin then..

>>13002
((It begins right when I sleep, hahaha. Posting it at midnight may have been a bad idea...))

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:

*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!

I remain silent as I walk on to the supposed waiting area, on my way there.. T-That man's red hair?! It looks like he could kill someone with it, as much as I don't want to stare. Even so, although most would find it shocking, I can't help but stare at the man's hair for a few moments as I walk beside him to the waiting area.. I hope he doesn't notice..
And so, Kirigiri proceeds on to the waiting area. As she does so, she seems to be walking next to the man with pointy red hair. She can't help but observe it for a few more moments than she should. Likely he would notice it, but Kirigiri tries to play it off as she walks on.

((Technically this campsite is the waiting area.))

More people have arrived during your time waiting:

*24 year-old man with blond hair and glasses
*33 year-old man in a red suit fit for a lawyer
*18 year-old man with pink hair and black hood

>>13004
A new person 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?"

>>13006
The pink-haired man speaks up.

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

You see the man with black hair and green eyes approach the doll-like girl, kissing her on the hand.

He introduces himself to you as Drosselmeyer and kisses your hand as well.

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."

>>13009
"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... "

I was facing a group of other campers by the time I knew it as well.. I didn't want to talk much as it was, I can't find any of my stuff in this backpack either. This isn't going to be good..

"...I am Kirigiri Kyouko."

>>13011
Lucas: "Hello Kirigiri, that's an interesting name. Since we're waiting in the waiting area anyway, what do you do?"

>>13011
The girl with long green hair addresses you.

"Hi! The name is Mion. This might be a strange question, but have you talked with the others yet? Seems like some of them are suffering of a slight case of amnesia. It is your case too?"

"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."

>>13012
"I...don't know.."

>>13013
"Yes, I have... I have amnesia too, I can't exactly remember what I do either.."
That's a bit too odd...what happened? I really need to meet this Kinjo..

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?

>>13016
"..."
What in God's name was that?! A helicopter!? It just killed all the sleeping campers! Even I couldn't hide my shock, but I recollected myself by the time it crashed into the ground.. It looked dangerous to go investigate, but.. I have a strong urge to do so. I walk towards the crater and signal for at least someone to follow me there to be safe..

"Come, follow me.."
Kirigiri carefully walks over to the crater and peers into it, to see what happened to the likely wrecked helicopter and whoever was inside..

Last edited at 13/06/12(Wed)08:49:26

Ozaki, Kedge (the man in the lawyer suit), you, and Mion decide to investigate the crater.

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!"

Last edited at 13/06/12(Wed)09:09:01

>>13018
"...You!! "

I can't believe it...it's that bear! If there is anything I can recall now, it's those despair-filled days he induced upon me and my classmates at Hope's Peak.. The gal of the thing, but how was he back?! I-I thought we-..?
Kirigiri refrained from looking at Monobear too hard. That and she had stepped away from the crater by the time he introduced himself.

>>13019
Monobear glares at you. "Hmm, you look familiar!~"

He is then distracted by Rudolf, who 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?"

>>13020
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?"

>>13021
"...Gah.."
I couldn't think of a word to say to this scoundrel. H-How could I let this happen..!? Again, I had been trapped in a life of death and despair..
Kirigiri sighs and looks around, crossing her arms.
"Where are the dormitory areas..?"

>>13022
"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.

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?"

>>13024
Good God I'm shaking.. To be thrusted in this situation twice is simply just...d-despair inducing!.. That damn Monobear, I can't let him win.. Even so, I'll keep my head and play along with it.
Kirigiri keeps her cool demeanor on and nods, agreeing with Rika's terms.

>>13025

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."

This guy seemed to catch on fast. He is right, if I know that accursed Monobear, there's definitely a mole..
"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.."

>>13027
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!"

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."

>>13028
"Let's start out with the dormitory area, shall we?"

>>6029
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."

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.

>>13030
"I'll be by myself."
Although I agreed that being in groups is the most effective idea, I didn't want to go in one myself. I am fully capable of taking care of myself.
Without another word, Kirigiri turns back and heads to the dormitory area, looking for her dorm. How odd of her..

>>13031
After some minutes of walking you arrive outside at the dorm.

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

>>13032
I observe the exterior of my dorm briefly before entering inside to see the interior. After unlocking the door with that interesting card I got, I entered the door and locked it immediately. Scanning the room for a few moments, I started walking around and examining for any points of interest..
She walks around her door, trying to see if it would contain her luggage and anything important of her's and the belongings taken away from her..

>>13033
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

((oops, should be 10:25 AM))

>>13034
M-Mixed..? Hand picked..? If my fears are realized, that means..!
Kirigiri walks over to the box as calmly as possible and begins unpacking it to see what is inside..

>>13036
The items inside are:

1.Stainless comb
2.Notebook
3.Small mirror
4.Saw
5.Rope

>>13037
...Oh mixed my ass, I brought none of these things..! But, this means that someone has the picture! That damn Monobear, he knew I'd be too embarrassed to ask anyone if they had the picture..
Kirigiri sighs and puts these items in her backpack, taking up each slot.

>>13038
You do so.

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

>>13039
Everyone should be at the cafeteria then...I should go see if they went there first.
Kirigiri exits her dorm and locks it, she makes her way to the cafeteria.

>>13040
The cafeteria is devoid of people.

((It suddenly occurs to me that the cafeteria does not have a door on that map. My mistake.))

Great...well, time to investigate elsewhere.
And so she does, going out and examining the dorm area as a whole as she roams about.
(It's fine~ But you should still probably fix it)

>>13042
It seems the group is gathered in front of Lucas's room. Kedge, Lucas, and Rudolf aren't there.

>>13043
"...?"
What's the commotion about..?
Kirigiri walks forward, but stays behind the group so that they wouldn't notice her, listening in on what they are saying.

>>13044
As you approach the group, Mion comes walking toward the cafeteria door.

>>13045
Hm? It's Ms. Mion.. I wonder..
Kirigiri glances over to Mion and observes where she is going and what she might be doing.

>>13046
Mion ignores you and silently rushes into the cafeteria. After a very brief period of time she returns to the group.

>>13047
...Odd.
Kirigiri glances to Mion again as she returns and looks at her with an almost painfully emotionless expression, examining her carefully.

>>13048
Mion: "Hey there... Don't stare at me like that you scared me a little bit. Hehe..., I need to regroup with the others now. I'll see you around!"

She stands near the door with the others, a bit creeped out.

>>13049
Heh...sometimes I find it amusing when people get scared of me like that.
Kirigiri continues to listen in on the group and their conversation.

>>13050
((They really aren't doing much of anything right now. You might be better off going somewhere else.))

>>13051
Kirigiri shrugs as she notices a lack of activity, then heads off to see if anyone else is roaming about. Seems the dorms were sufficiently investigated...for now.

>>13052
You spot Ozaki going into the cafeteria's kitchen.

Last edited at 13/06/12(Wed)16:16:03

>>13053
Ozaki...he left the group early, what's he doing here anyway? I sure hope it's just eating, I saw Mion come in here earlier..
Just like that, Kirigiri nonchalantly takes a seat at a table that's the closest to the door outside. Leaving the door open, she stays there and hums to herself, as if she was waiting for someone.
"...Hmhmhhh.."

>>13054
Ozaki stops to talk to you.

"Oh hey, Kirigiri what are you up to? Not hanging around with the happy-go-lucky group I see."

>>13055
She blinks and nods, keeping her deadpan expression.
"I work better by myself."

>>13056
"Same conclusion as me I see. Yes that large group is just dead weight. In my opinion if anyone actually does intend to commit murder it will be more likely anybody acting buddy buddy in order to draw suspicion off of themselves.

Anyway you seem like a trustworthy person, but you know the saying "not guilty until proven innocent". If your health is low come to me and I can help.

Oh but don't trust me just yet, after all maybe I am the bad guy, who knows. I'll prove my good nature over the course of this twisted game. Until then."

He then begins to walk outside.

>>13057
"...E-Eh? Alright then.."
That was awfully nice, might be a tad suspicious, but nice..
Kirigiri nods to him and smiles pleasantly.
"Alright then...thanks, Doctor. I'm sure I'll get to know you then, I'll see what I think about you after that.."
Shortly after he leaves, Kirigiri follows suit and leaves the cafeteria as well. She decides to see if anyone else is off by themselves.

>>13058
You see Kazuichi Souda walk into his dorm room, separate from the group.

Soon after, Blake Roone goes to his door, peeks inside, and stands near it, waiting.

You overhear the group's conversations for the next 30 minutes:

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.

Rudolf: "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." He goes to the cafeteria.

Kedgeworth: "*sigh* Well, looks like I don't even have a pen to defend myself with. But here you go. I'm off to the cafeteria as well. Anyone's welcome to join."

Lucas hands the mirror to Philip, who claimed it was his. Lucas goes into his room for a bit before returning.

Rika then comes out of her room with the following:

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

Rika: "Hm, I don't believe that any of these are mine...Although it could just be my amnesia acting up again. Anyway, none of this looks particularly dangerous, so you can all take whatever you want.

...But there is something quite interesting that occurred to me just now. Victoria, would you mind if I asked you a question? It's about something that Mion-chan heard you say back before any of this started. She told me that you said something about the bears here being cute. ...Would you mind explaining what you meant by that statement? I really want to trust you, but I can't help but see that as slightly suspicious given that weird bear that appeared shortly afterwards. Furthermore, I haven't heard you speak a word this entire time. You have to admit that your actions are a little strange in this situation. Please, would you mind explaining yourself to us? We shouldn't hide anything from each other; it will only cause suspicion that will hurt the whole group later. If you did know something about that bear before the rest of us saw it, then I think we have a right to hear about it."

Lucas: "The first aid kit is mine, Rika. And... I think you're being a little paranoid. There was a sign clear as day saying watch out for bears. I think a lot of us wouldn't open our mouths given the traumatic situation we're in either. We're all just hungry right about now."

Rika: "But you see, Lucas-san, the sign is part of what makes it so suspicious. The sign told us to watch out for bears. That would normally give the impression that the bears are dangerous and scary. To respond to that by describing the bears as "cute" is definitely strange, and it becomes especially suspicious when one considers the design of that bear toy that talked to us.

Furthermore...The sign on its own isn't sufficient justification for Victoria's statement. If she had said something like 'Oh, there are bears here? I bet they're really cute!', that would be understandable. But that's not what she said, not according to Mion-chan anyway. She said that "the bears are very cute". That definitely implies that she had actually seen these bears. You have to admit that her statement can hardly be considered normal.

...Don't get me wrong. I don't think that Victoria is necessarily untrustworthy. After all, if she really was in on this somehow, then she wouldn't have made such an obvious slip-up. But based on the evidence, it definitely seems likely that she does know something about this. I'm just asking her to tell us what she knows."

>>13060
I continue to listen to the group bicker, and about some of Rika's delusions.. She has this whole situation wrong. About what Monobear meant by "finding the culprit of the murder." This will only cause more tension with them, but I'll have to let them learn themselves.
After a while of listening to the group, Kirigiri sighs and heads off to the cafeteria to grab something to eat herself.

>>13061
It seems Lucas and Kedgeworth have moved into the cafeteria to eat. They are sitting at a table drinking coffee and talking.

>>13062
Kirigiri passes them to go to the kitchen and make herself some cup noodles.
Hm...Kedgeworth and Lucas, those two.. I haven't observed them much since I got here.

>>13063
You make the noodles.

>>13064
Ah..noodles, fresh..
Kirigiri sighs contently and walks out of the kitchen, eating her noodles with chopsticks as she walks out into the cafeteria to see if anyone's there.

Kedgeworth and Lucas are still talking over coffee.

>>13066
Kirigiri takes a seat at a table near them to eat and listen in on their conversation.
I wonder what these two could be on about..

>>13067
They seem to be talking about Monobear.

((I'll make this a general rule now. For the lurkers I'd like it if you can tell me when you go to sleep. And when you are ready to play again simply ask for an update and I will respond with everything your character should have heard.))

Lucas: "My take, eh? I'm still as clueless as you are to be frank. This whole day has felt like a dream, but the more I think of it that way the more I realize our lives are actually in danger if I don't take precautions.

I mean those walls... Do you think that's something a normal studio production could have made? And those explosions... Didn't you feel the force of it? I'm pretty sure there were more campers in there... Or at least there were more tents than the one's that people came out of.

It just doesn't add up, whatever is behind this. Do you think our governments have forsaken us? Or worse... are running some sort of experiment? That's why if I manage to get out of here, I'm fleeing the country as soon as possible away from whatever disgusting atrocity is being set up. I feel lives have already been thrown away as expendables for nothing.

We need proof, Kedgeworth. Through the Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court... Whatever it takes, But the world must know. Am I crazy for thinking this? I feel a little crazy."

Kedge: "I think you're right about our lives being in danger. This has to be some sort of sick experiment that a person with a lot of time and money came up with. It seems like they've taken a lot of precautions to stop us from leaving so far, so we can assume that they're smart enough to predict anything that we can do here. We can talk about what we're going to when we get out, when we get out. Because right now, I don't see a clear way out of this mess. We need to get our priorities straight.
I'm going to be completely honest with you here. I read a lot. And this kind of thing's become quite common in my head. And I tend to get carried away at times so when I woke up and heard about the rules, I was more than ready to 'graduate' But now I've come to my senses.
It's alright to think like that. I mean come on, I doubt many of us were expecting something like this and we're all pretty shook up. People have already started distrusting each other and that isn't a good sign. I don't see why they haven't thought of the obvious 'sticking together' strategy or if they have, why they feel like ignoring it.
But we can't do much about those people. Any ideas for now?"

>>13068
From behind them Kirigiri finally decides to speak up.
"You don't seem to understand that Monobear's forte is psychological warfare. If you all refuse to kill each other and try grouping together, he'll subtly try to brew up a plan to have someone snap and want to kill. If you all decide to stick together, he'll exploit you all just as easily. Judging things by your own standards will just be foolish in this situation.."
That's what Togami once said...of course, I already knew something like that back then. But still, taking those words to heart proved to help me survive as well..

Lucas: "You have a really good point, Kirigiri. Also, as much as I was attempting to keep everyone together, the amount of time to contain everyone was just far too inefficient. A lost cause I suppose. But... what do you recommend instead when a murder happens and there's no one around to place the blame on a culprit? Every man and women for themselves? Smaller groups?

And you seem to know a lot about Mr. Monobear. At this point that's the last thing I want to question. I rather ask why you're helping us now?"

>>13070

As much as I know how everything is going to turn out from...past experiences, it's best I let them figure out themselves. I can't hold their hands in this.
"When no one is around to see the culprit..? Figure out who the culprit is, investigate, do whatever it takes to find the truth. Even if someone claims to have seen the culprit, never blindly trust them in desperation. Think for yourselves, and you'll surely find the truth. As for why I'm assisting you, I do that for personal reasons.."
Naegi would definitely want me to help them grow more hopeful for a better future...I can't just stand by and watch them try killing each other..

Lucas: "Alright. So... do you two think it's inevitable then?

Someone's really going to kill someone and graduate? For me, I don't want to give up on our humanity just about yet. There's still a lot of day before the night falls when who knows what someone will do, but I don't think we've eliminated all our options until then.

Would you both like to explore the rest of the camp a little further like what was originally intended? If I recall correctly from the map, there are other buildings that are, at the moment, a little mysterious. Since we're in a pair of three, one of us trying anything is exceedingly more difficult."

>>13072
"Of course someone will kill another person, trying to assume otherwise would also be foolish.. For most others here, it'll simply just be a chance of fate.. Might as well not stress about it. And yes, investigating the rest of the camp would be wise."

Blake enters the cafeteria. "Hello again. Took me a while to get done with my room. Does any of this belong to one of you? The sleeping bag is probably mine. I also found a knife, but that was promptly confiscated by two girls. Rika and Mion were their names, I think."

He shows you his items:

Rope
Fruit seeds
Fabulous Scarf

Blake: "Also, you seem to be about to leave. Would you mind if I tagged along?"

>>13074
"None of that would be mine, and I suppose you can tag along with us.."

>>13075
It seems you all have been debating where to go for the past hour in silence.

During your time waiting, Ozaki and Rudolf just managed to enter the cafeteria through the main door. Ozaki ignores you all and heads out the back door.

((I suggest you lead the investigation while you can. The other three are offline and will follow you.))

>>13076
The Hell?.. Something is wrong with Ozaki.. I should go see what's up..
Kirigiri waits a few moments before following Ozaki out the back door, signaling for the rest of the guys to follow her.

>>13077
It seems Ozaki is quite fast; you lose sight of him quickly. There is a split in the path. Up north appears to be a junkyard and west is a rose garden.

>>13078
Damn...you kidding me? The guy is running from something, I have to split the group up.
Kirigiri signals for Kedgeworth to follow her to the junkyard and for Blake and Lucas to go to the rose garden.
I got a bad feeling about this..

>>13079
Upon arriving at the junkyard you and Kedgeworth see Ozaki pass by Kazuichi Souda, walking into a building surrounded by trash heaps.

>>13080
Souda...he walked into his room a while ago, and did so pretty quietly. What's going on here..? I'm still getting a terrible feeling..
Kirigiri creeps by the trash heaps quietly and gets as close as possible without trying to get spotted. She whispers to Kedgeworth to do the same as she proceeds to spy on Ozaki without being noticed by Souda.

You walk inside the building.
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.

...Your passive skill allows you to hear Ozaki's footsteps as a door slams shut. It seems he is in the generator room.

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)21:31:20

>>13083
Dear God, what is that smell...I feel like I'm going to be sick, from this anxiety more-so than that terrible smell..
Breathing slowly, Kirigiri walks as carefully as possible down the corridor until she reaches the end of it. She then hides behind the wall and peers to the side so she may see the door to the generator, and where Ozaki would exit possibly. She signals to Kedgeworth to be quiet and watch the exit as she spies on the door to the generator room.

>>13084
Ozaki: "Hey Monobear, what does this generator power exactly?"

Monobear: "What's it look like it powers? It's a good generator, but not good enough... So it only powers this entire quadrant of the campsite."

Ozaki: "I thought so... Just to make sure this is the only power source for this quadrant then?"

Monobear: "Upupupu, that's right!"

You then see Ozaki looking for something on the generator, like a switch...

>>13085
...He's talking to Monobear?.. I don't want to jump to conclusions. I won't assume he's the mole yet, that and Monobear randomly popped up on the students of Hope's Peak in the past to explain some things about the school's infrastructure. But...he's talking awfully nicely with that abominable bear..
Kirigiri continues to spy on them, leaning against the wall now.

>>13086
Ozaki: "I see. Well that is all the questions I have. You can leave."

You can hear him approaching the door.


Coming from the entrance you can hear Victoria's voice calling Ozaki's name.

Mion also arrives, shining a flashlight on you.

>>13087
Damn, spotted...! And with what looks like my own flashlight of all things!
Kirigiri quickly zooms up and lifts Kedgeworth up, bowing to Mion and returning to her regular deadpan attitude.
"Hello, Ms. Mion. I was just here observing for any suspicious activity."
S-She has a knife, doesn't she..? Blake said he got it confiscated by Mion..

Mion: "Oh hi, I'm sorry I was looking for Ozaki. Have you seen him?"

A moment later, Victoria: "Hello Kirigiri, and Kedgeworth, are you guys playing hide and seek?"

>>13089
"...Ozaki?"
Kirigiri nods and points to the door to the generator room, she then looks to Victoria.
"Kedgeworth, myself, and a few other guys were investigating the campsite."
This went much better then I expected...thank God.

>>13090
Victoria: "In the junkyard outside we found a statue of a guy named K, he had white hair and a white coat like Ozaki. We think Ozaki might know something."

>>13091
"...I believe that would be the former owner of the camp, the one who invited us here.."
I pondered for a second, I was sure it was Goldbar..
"Kinjo Goldbar. If I know Monobear...he's either holding Kinjo somewhere or he has already killed him.."

Before you can say the second half, you are then interrupted by the sound of a thud knocking against the door, just before Mion opens it. Inside is Ozaki, standing right in front of the door.

Ozaki: "Hey what is all the commotion out here?"

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)22:30:56

>>13093
W-What was that!?
Kirigiri leans to the side and steps in front of Edgeworth, observing Ozaki carefully.
"O-Ozaki..? We were talking about you, and the statue of Kinjo Goldbar.. The former headmaster of the camp before...well, Monobear took control.."

Last edited at 13/06/14(Fri)22:32:49

>>13094
The other two ask the same question to him.

Ozaki: "Statue? Oh you mean the one of Kinjo? Yeah that was weird. Anyway what are you all gathered around for? Obviously you didn't come just to talk to me about a statue."

>>13095
"I was investigating the campsite as a whole with Kedgeworth, Blake, and Lucas. I believe I'm done here.."
Kirigiri nods and heads out of the waste facility, signaling for Kedgeworth to do the same as she starts walking back to the cafeteria, looking around for anyone else that might be there.
"Hmm..."

>>13096
Very well, you go back to the cafeteria with Kedgeworth. It's empty.

((I'm going to sleep now. I'll respond when I wake up or something.))

>>13097
"Hm...that rose garden, I should go check on Blake and Lucas.."
Kirigiri decides to head back to the split path and head west to the rose garden to check on Blake and Lucas.

>>13098
When you get there you see Lucas and Blake where you left them. It looks as though Lucas was hesitant to split up.

Lucas: "Hello Kirigiri, Blake and I were about to go to the rose garden. Unfortunately... it seems you two were faster. What's up with the junkyard?"

Last edited at 13/06/15(Sat)10:09:22

((Due to some time differences I'll need to ask for your response to this question, back when you were at the junkyard. Your answer won't change your current location or anything that has happened.
Rika: "Wait, ah, you guys...Would you mind telling us what you found in your rooms? It's possible that you have items that belong to us. We can share what we've found with you too, if you like. It's important that we all keep in touch with each other, right?" ))

Kedgeworth: "Long story short, we met up with Mion and Victoria who told us about a statue they found that looked like it had something to do with Ozaki. Then we met up with Ozaki and the statue was brought up. He then told us that the statue was about a person named Kinjo. And that was about it. We then decided to come check up on you two."

Lucas: "Interesting, not sure of what to make of it. I've been standing right here the whole time so you all didn't miss much. You guys go up on ahead, I'm gonna go back the junkyard to see if there's anything else of interest."

Blake: "A mysterious statue? Looks like that junkyard turned out more interesting than what I'd have thought. Anyway, I'll go check that rose garden now. Should be more pleasant at least optically."

It seems this group is splitting up. Kedgeworth also goes to the rose garden, leaving you alone.

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.

>>13100
((Certainly. "I found the following..
1.Stainless comb
2.Notebook
3.Small mirror
4.Saw
5.Rope
However, I'll need to hold onto the saw and rope for now."))

"Hm...I suppose I should check the rose garden too."
Kirigiri decides to head to the rose garden herself with the rest of her group.

>>13102
You go to the rose garden. It is surrounded by tall fences.

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

No one else is around, it seems.

>>13103
Huh..? Where are those guys..
Kirigiri roams around the garden, looking for them. She then decides to go in the garden shed to see if they are there.

>>13104
No one is inside the garden shed. The general area also looks devoid of people.

Inside are shovels, spades, manure bags, axes, hedge clippers, hoses, stump removers, pesticides, ladders, gardening hoes, pitch forks, gardening gloves, and boots.

Kirigiri sighs and decides to leave the garden area to go look about for her friends now.

>>13106
((Welp, where to? No rush, there aren't many people online at the moment.))

Kirigiri decides to go investigate the dorms now.

>>13108
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.

Last edited at 13/06/15(Sat)20:35:56

>>13111
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.

* Ding-dong-ding-dong *

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

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.

>>13148
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.
