((There's no need to use green, but if you want to, go ahead. And the pace is probably going to be slow because of the different timezones when people are on/off. I'm not entirely sure how well this is going to work.))

The only things around are your sleeping bag and the note. ((To keep things simple, there are no pockets, but a "backpack")). The inside of your backpack is entirely empty, although you could've sworn you brought things with you....

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
*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
*18 year-old man with pink hair and black hood
*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 don't feel the need to introduce myself so I just go stand somewhere where I can hear and see most of the people that are talking and try to get as much information as possible by just observing.

>>2005
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?"

"Pleased to meet you. My name is Kedgeworth."

>>2008
Rudolf: "Pleased to meet you as well, Kedgeworth. It look's like I slept in a tad bit. I would hate to have been the last one to awake... Did you all awake to find a note and that your belongings have gone missing? Or am I the victim of a theft?"

"I did find a note and I woke up with nothing too. I'm assuming that's the case with everyone here."

>>2010
"Heh, morning everyone. Name's Kazuichi Souda... Wait, I didn't miss introductions, did I?"

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

>>2012
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... "

Eh, why not.
"While we're waiting, how about we get to know each other a bit better? What do you do, Lucas?"

>>2015
Lucas responds, "That's a good idea, and it's funny you ask. Judging from your attire, I'm in school for your profession. You're a lawyer, right?

And—what was your name again?"

"Well done. Yes, I'm a lawyer. I've been practicing for about three years now. Kedgeworth Anderson at your service."

The girl with light purple hair finally breaks her silence.

"...I am Kirigiri Kyouko."

>>2017
Lucas: "Ah, that's good to here! You'll have to give me pointers one day."

"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?

"Finally. I was starting to get bored. Let's go check it out, shall we?"
I walk over to the crater and examine the scene.

>>2022
((It looks like most of the players are currently offline; I don't want to move the story too fast without majority of the people so I hope you can wait. If not I can continue posting but know that a lot of people aren't around yet.))

((Well, I don't mean to sound like a dick but, considering how the story probably isn't going to wait for me while I'm busy/sleeping It's their loss. I want to continue.))

>>2024
((Alright, sorry about the wait. Some more people finally posted too.))

Ozaki, you, Kirigiri, 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!"

"That was quite the show. Is there anyway we can get you to take off the costume?"

>>2026
"...Costume? 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..."

>>2027
((Also I'm going to try a different approach to posting. Even if no one else is on I'll carry through the story with you so that you can get to the less linear parts of the story. Thus you'll be ahead of everyone else in terms of the story so when you sleep they will be catching up to you rather than the story getting ahead of you. Post as much as you want and I'll relay it to the other players eventually.))

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

>>2029
((More people signing on. I think there was some time confusion.))

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?"

"Let me guess, by killing ourselves?"

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

"Oh, you're smart I see~ 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?"

((I sent you an email earlier, did you check?))
"..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?"

>>2034
((The e-mail about your items? Yeah, I saw it, but don't worry about that~))

"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!"

((Alrighty))
"Hm, alright. What do expect us to do right now?"

>>2036
"Anything you want! 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...

>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?"

"Alright with me."

>>2038
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."

"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."

>>7031
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.."

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."

"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."

>>2043
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.

"..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.

I head to my room and examine everything.

>>2047
You split off from the group (who decided to go to Lucas's room first).

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

((That's not what I meant..
I thought I'd go with the group. How do I just awkwardly join back?))

>>2049
((Oh okay. In that case you follow Lucas into his room and see the same thing.))

"Well, Lucas, what do you have?"

>>2051
Lucas: "I have a Mirror, a Dangan Ronpa Zero Manga, a knife, pen, and paper. Does this stuff sound familiar to anyone? It's not mine apparently. It seems Mr. Monobear swapped our stuff."

He shows the you the inventory to prove he isn't lying.

"Since the bear said that almost everyone asked for a pen, almost every room should have one. And even though they can be used as a weapon I doubt we can do anything to contain them. But we should keep the knife under surveillance the whole time. Should we check Kazuichi's room next?"

((By the way, this is happening on Google Chrome. Currently using Firefox))

>>2054
((That is very weird. I normally use firefox.
Also seems Lucas had to leave. If Rudolf replies you'll get a response or you can change your move if you feel like playing further.))

>>2055
Rudolf: "We have to check mine next. Since clockwise and all."

((Well I'm going to sleep. Do we have to take any precautions in order to avoid dying while we don't reply though?))

>>2057
((Nah I'll just have you follow the group. In general it would be unfair to let people get killed when they are away so that won't happen. When you wake up post and ask for an update and I'll tell you what you missed.))

(((Update))

Drosselmeyer: "This is a waste of time, we should all try it at the same time, besides why would I let the possible culprit how to enter my room?"

Philip: "Well now, at the least, we're all clearly aficionado's of mystery -- this cold type of it, at least -- so we can all safely assume that we are all fairly astute and logical. I don't think anyone needs to start feeling suspicion immediately. Of course, inevitably there shall be attempted murder amongst us, but it's safe to say that, for the time being, we are probably all much to unfamiliar with the situation to start cutting each others throats right off the back. Let's all relax, for now, shall we? For now," he says, smiling -- granted, his smile is bitter, as he's clearly enjoying this turn of events not one bit; he smiles nonetheless, to hopefully calm himself and the suspicious inclination of the others."

Kazuichi: "... Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm grabbing by stuff back before anything else." He then leaves the group.

Lucas shows the group the items he found:
1.Mirror
2."Dangan Ronpa Zero" Manga
3.Knife
4.Pen
5.Paper

Lucas: "Hopefully we can get who owns what sorted out, along with each person wielding some sort of defensive tool as we investigate the campground to assess the situation. Though, it might be troublesome with those who split. All I know is that complete transparency is our only hope if we want to survive in this large of a group."

Rudolf does the same after inspecting his room:

1.Pen
2.Briefcase filled with stationary and journals
3.Cellphone
4.Camping dishes
5.A hand-crank generator

Rudolf: "Not exactly everything I brought, though the dishes I certainly recall as having been mine."

According to data found in the cellphone its owner goes by the name of "Dark Kamijou."

The journals in the briefcase are signed with Lucas's signature, and Rudolf returns it to him.

((So only two of the rooms from the group have been checked? If so then how should i just continue staying with the group and checking my room?))

>>2061
((That is correct. You're free to keep checking each room or go off and do something on your own.))

((I'm not sure how we'd be able to get through each room without the person being online and unlocking it themselves with their card, but alright))
I move with the group and check every room in the order that they've been following until my room comes up.

((Well, it may not be as easy or as possible as you would think.))

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.

The next room to be inspected by the three of you should be Kazuichi's. However, it is locked, and he went inside just minutes ago.

"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."

>>2065
Unfortunately for you Rika has already gone inside her room and can't hear you. However, the remaining people outside can, and comply to your request.

((Rudolf and Lucas aren't online so I'll assume they follow you. Also you should assume that you tried to open Kazuichi's door and found it locked, as I told you a post ago.))

In your room 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.

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. Water
2. Lighter fluid in a container
3. Bag of screws.
4. Cup noodles
5. A toy boat

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

>>2066
((Just after posting the above Rudolf posted.))

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."

((Looks like people are beginning to split up anyway.))

"*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."
I show everything in my room to people next to me and then while showing that I'm putting everything back, I discretely put a couple of screws and the lighter fluid into my inventory.
((Just to confirm, we are bound by the rules of reality right? Because the talking bear and the things he said we could do like cursing people and stuff are making me think otherwise))

>>2068
((Yeah, you are bound by the laws of reality. Monobear is the only thing that isn't, really...))

Upon arriving at the cafeteria you see Kazuichi and Rudolf in conversation.

((no confirmation for my passive working?))
I look around and try joining the conversation if they're still there.

>>2070
((Oh, well the skills are another exception. Not sure if you're familiar with Dangan Ronpa but each person's Super Level ability allowed them to do unrealistic things at times too.))

You hear Rudolf as he goes into the kitchen. "Yeah, I don't think either of those were mine..."

Kazuichi looks at the inside of the pantry.

((I'm not, and Super Level ability?))
I examine the cafeteria and then the kitchen and the pantry.

>>2072
((For instance in Dangan Ronpa the Super High School Level Baseball Player could throw anything and hit whatever he wanted because he was that skilled at baseball. Or the Super High School Level Luck would always get out of bad situations because he was lucky enough.))

The cafeteria has three tables, six chairs each. The kitchen appears to have lots of cooking utensils such as forks, knives, pots, pans, dishes, etc. ((Not sure how thorough a search you wanted.))

Kazuichi opens the pantry door and Monobear jumps out.

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

"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!"

((I think I get it..))
"I think I'll just go find some coffee.."
I look around for the ingredients and then make two cups of black coffee and then head over to Lucas's room and knock on his door if I don't see him anywhere else.

>>2074
You quickly make your coffee and take it with you.

Lucas is standing in the hallway talking with Rika as he holds up a Dangan Ronpa Zero manga in his hand.

I walk up to them.
"Hello, Rika and Lucas. I actually just wanted to talk to Lucas, hence only making two cups, but you can join us as well, Rika. I hope I'm not interrupting."
I offer both of them a cup each.
"I did make these as a friendly gesture but just realized that you could easily use something like this to poison people. It's obviously up to you to drink. May we go to either of our rooms?"

>>2076
Lucas: "Thanks. I appreciate the gesture. Do you mind if we talked in the cafeteria instead? Or wait until then? I haven't eaten anything all day to be honest."

"I don't see why not."
I move to the cafeteria with Lucas.

>>2078
Lucas: "So what exactly did you and Rudolf eat, Kedgeworth? Anything good? ...So Kedgeworth, what is it that you needed to speak to me about? Hmm... and where did Rudolf run off to?"

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)15:02:06

"I didn't really eat anything and I didn't see Rudolf eat either; I wasn't all that hungry. But the bear did show up while we were here. He told we could get whatever we wanted. Anyway, I wanted to talk to someone about the mess we're currently in. And, quite frankly, after judging most of the people here, you seem like a person I can talk to. What's your take on everything that's happened? I mean, whatever's happened so far feels like we're acting in a movie. One that doesn't normally end too well."

"The last time I saw Rudolf, he was in the kitchen."
((Sorry for double posting but I saw your edit after I posted))

>>2081
((That's fine. The double post rule is so I dont have too much to deal with. It's surprisingly time consuming to post on so many boards...))

((Kinda the first thing I thought of when you decided to try it. Other than being able to talk to you without other people realizing, why did you choose to make separate boards?))

>>2083
((Well that was basically the whole reason. Couldn't think of a better way to do it without either making things too complicated or risking someone cheating, intentionally or by accident. I'm hoping this game can be pulled off successfully since this is the first time I bet anyone has tried it.))

((At the rate the current game's going at, you'll have to keep everyone updated for days. Let's hope you can pull it off well. Good luckk.))

>>2085
((Thanks. I intend to make things speed up a bit somehow.))

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."

"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?"

((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.))

((Welp, gnight.))

((Updatee))

((Did I did died :^())

((Nope I was just away))

From behind you and Lucas, 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.."

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?"

Kirigiri: "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.."

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."

Kirigiri: "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."

((So they haven't moved from the cafeteria?))

>>2093
((Right, they are both still in the cafeteria eating at the table with you.))

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?"

((Out of curiosity are you still having problems with viewing the board in Google Chrome? If so what version of Chrome are you using?))

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.

((When you get online ask for an update and I'll edit this post.))

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

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.

Kirigiri waits a few moments before following Ozaki out the back door, signaling for the rest of the guys to follow her.

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.

Kirigiri signals for Kedgeworth to follow her to the junkyard and for Blake and Lucas to go to the rose garden.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Coming from the entrance you can hear Victoria's voice calling Ozaki's name. Mion also arrives, shining a flashlight on Kirigiri.

Kirigiri quickly zooms up and lifts Kedgeworth up, bowing to Mion and returning to her regular deadpan attitude.

Kirigiri: "Hello, Ms. Mion. I was just here observing for any suspicious activity."

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?"

Kirigiri: "...Ozaki?"

Kirigiri nods and points to the door to the generator room, she then looks to Victoria.

Kirigiri: "Kedgeworth, myself, and a few other guys were investigating the campsite."

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."

She is 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?"

Victoria, Kirigiri, and Mion ask Ozaki about the statue.

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."

Kirigiri: "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.

Kirigiri: "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.

((You may either continue to tag along with Kirigiri or go somewhere else.))

((As for the decision you made for me about going with her to the junkyard, couldn't she have killed me then if she was planning it while I was away?))
I decide to tag along with Kirigiri and head to the rose garden.
"Kirigiri, what is your take on Ozaki? Everybody thinks he's rather suspicious and seems to know a lot more than he lets on. Plus, he's acting rather confident for a person who could be killed."

>>2099
((Had she initiated combat I would have waited for your response. Good point though; in the event someone leads a group somewhere and then decides to split off, they will need to split off by themselves if the others aren't online.))

Also, since I'm not sure if Kirigiri is here right now you may want to answer this for Blake and Lucas:

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?"

>>2101
Blake: "Wait, did you actually meet that Ozaki guy over there? Fishy guy in my opinion. He may just think he can handle this by himself, of course. Wouldn't be surprised if he either ends up getting killed or does the deed himself. It'll be difficult to keep track of him."

((Also to explain more about that new rule I thought up. If you're online, you are either a "wolf" or "sheep". But if you're offline you are just a "sheep", since you cant command your character to kill. So when the number of potential wolves outweigh the sheep I will make it mandatory for the potential wolves to move off by themselves.))

"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."

((You won't always be able to tell when people are online or not. It'll be tough))
