((Sleep time))

>>2143
((Alright. Also, you might want to try re-installing Google Chrome. It's the only solution me/anon/piece could think of.))

North from the dorm is the same. Another wall.

((Gonna set an IRL time limit for Night Time; 12 hours from this edit. If you really have something to accomplish do it soon, etc., so we can move on.))
You begin to feel tired after a long day.

((Just reinstalled. I don't get the IRL night time thing.))

((I mean to say that the game is going reeeeeally slow right now so I want to force your character to go to sleep to get everyone playing again.))

((Oh alright))
I go to my room and try to fall asleep.

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 outside.

>>2149
It's another nice day outside.
((Unles you just meant out into the hallway.))

((Hallway. I'll be more specific from now on.))

>>2151
It looks like Rika, Kirigiri, Souda, Philip, and Victoria have emerged from their rooms and are going to the cafeteria. You are hungry so you decide to join. Looks like Ozaki got here first.

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

I make myself some coffee and fry up some bacon and eggs. Then I find myself an empty table and start eating.

>>2153
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."

As you make your food you notice the kitchen doesn't have any knives whatsoever. How strange.

You make your breakfast and begin eating.

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

>>2155
Ozaki goes out the backdoor to investigate. He quickly returns saying that Dross's room looks messed up and that he will be breaking in through the window.

"I'll come with you. Do you have something to break the window with?" to Ozaki

>>2157
Lucas also follows.

You go to the room and Ozaki cuts the window using a multitool, just enough to unlock it from the outside. 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.

"This.. is horrible."
I examine the corpse subtly.
((er sorry))

Last edited at 13/06/20(Thu)14:49:03

You examine the corpse. Items on the corpse are a flashlight, canned food, and Gold Card. As for the wounds...

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.

"Okay we need to bring everyone in here. I'll be taking the gold key from Drosselmeyer's corpse. We need everyone to be here before the trial starts. We don't have a second to waste."
I take the gold card and head out to the cafeteria through the rooms door.

>>2162
You return to the cafeteria, taking the Gold Card. Ozaki also leaves the room, apparently checking the doors, before arriving at the cafeteria as well.

"All of you heard what the bear said. It's only logical for all of you to come and examine the crime scene before the trial starts and for us to discuss a strategy. I'd appreciate it if none of you decide to be smartasses and run off on your own, considering that it's all of our necks on the line here."

>>2164
It looks like Kirigiri heard you and went to Drosselmeyer's room. Ozaki seems to be interrogating Victoria, Rika, and Mion.

"*sigh"
I head back to Drosselmeyer's room and ask Lucas if he's feeling alright(if he's there, otherwise I ask Kirigiri about her take on the mess)

((I won't have access to a pc for a bit and then I'll probably sleep, sorry about the last question post. Probably won't be able to continue it as the story will move on by the time I wake up.))

>>2167
((Alright. Also it seems there was some confusion among other players; the trial won't be starting within minutes. You will have a few hours in-game to investigate, although it won't be TOO long.))

((Oh also, since you picked up the card you are able to see its contents.))

Kirigiri: "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."

((Update please))

((Using the blood splatter picture probably wasn't the best of ideas unless you meant to confuse people about there being no blood as it isn't mentioned in the text. Just my opinion.))

>>2170
((Probably... It was mostly a reference to the original game, in which the blood was colored pink to censor it.))

Blake and Kazuichi have also gone to the room to investigate.

((By the way, while we were sleeping, could we have been awoken by any loud sounds?))
I ask Blake and Kazuichi what they were doing around the time of death.

>>2172
((No. The walls are soundproof.))

((If they aren't online)) I leave the room and then the dorm and then go North from there.

>>2174
You go north of the dorm. There is a path west (to the rose garden) and path north (to the junkyard).

I head to the rose garden and examine the entire place, looking for any signs of blood splatter.
((That and people and anything suspicious is all I'm going to look out for now.))

>>2176
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.

I head to the junkyard.

>>2178
You go there. No one else seems to be around. There is still quite a bit of junk.

((Do I need to examine everything there to fulfill the search criteria I mentioned earlier?))

>>2180
>((That and people and anything suspicious is all I'm going to look out for now.))

((Do you mean this? Also it's up to you where you search. There is the building in the junkyard if you want to look there for anything. There are also some other places that can be searched, but they may or may not have any clues in them.))

I enter the Junkyard building and search.. everywhere.

>>2182
Kirigiri exits the building. "Kedgeworth...did you find anything of interest?"

"Nothing so far."

((Going to sleep))

((Nevermind, all nighter))
I follow the eastern path from the dorm

>>2186
You arrive at the museum.
((Let me guess, check it for everything too?))

((You know me so well.))

>>2188
Nothing of interest is found. It looks like nothing has changed from your last visit.

I head to the canoe area.

* Ding-dong-ding-dong *

"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!!"

I head to the crash site..

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!"
