((Hm, these rules look pretty interesting. I thought of something similar to this once for something else, never really got anywhere though.

Just to clarify, in the part of rule 6 about not sharing clues with anyone, that only applies to doing so outside of the game, right? In other words, there isn't anything to stop you from telling another character about something if it makes sense to do so?))

I'll take a quick look around the tent before doing anything else. ((Does my active skill apply to things like this, or only to crime scenes?))

>>6002
((That's right, you may share clues in-game. In fact, it's a major game mechanic. That's why sharing outside of the game would be bad -- it would ruin the fun of sharing in-game. It'll make more sense after this introductory sequence.

Your skill is primarily for crime scenes. It won't find anything that wouldn't serve as "evidence" in a courtroom.

Also, I'll be going to sleep now, it's almost 4 AM. Was doing a quick check to see if anyone posted, so I'll let you see the next set of choices I had planned.))

The only things inside your tent are the sleeping bag and note. Nothing else.

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
*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 stand back a short distance away from the rest of the group, attempting to listen in to any conversations that are going on. This is an attempt to try and gather some information and impressions about those present. I'll avoid interacting with any of the others until someone specifically addresses me.

>>6004

You overhear the man in the lab coat talking to the others.

"It seems some of you have finally woken up, I have been waiting. My name is Toshio Ozaki, you can all just call me Ozaki. I was promised mysteries upon coming here and that's what I plan to solve. It seems there are quite a few lazy people still sleeping so I'll leave my introduction at that for now."

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

>>6005
Someone new emerges from his tent.

"Hello, everyone. It certainly is nice to see that this camp will not be lacking constituents. When I signed up, I was afraid that a camp centered around mysteries wouldn't be very popular or well received. I'm Rudolf Ushiromiya, who might you all be?"

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

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 girl with long green hair turns to you.

"Hey there! My name is Mion. What's your name? Let's be friends and have fun today okay?!!"

>>6010
I give Drosselmeyer a bemused and slightly irritated glance before shrugging and turning to Mion.

"Hello to you too, Mion-chan. I am Furudo Rika, the detective...Or at least I like to think of myself that way. To be honest, I'm still quite a way away from achieving that dream, but I know I'll get there some day. ...But, to be honest, I seem to be suffering from a slight case of amnesia here. I remember deciding to come to this camp, but after I got here, I don't recall anything before waking up in my tent just a short time ago. ...Have you had a similar problem, or am I just going crazy?"

>>6011
Mion: "Huhh, now that you mention it, I do have a similar problem! I thought I was the only one, you should try to talk to Victoria, the girl dressed like a cute doll. She told me that the bears are very cute, but I don't recall seeing any bear in here!"

Meanwhile as you were talking to Mion two more people have introduced themselves to the group. Blake Roone and Lucas Richelieu. It seems their belongings were stolen as well.

>>6012
The girl with light purple hair finally breaks her silence.

"...I am Kirigiri Kyouko."

>>6013
"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."

>>6012
"The bears, huh? Well, the sign does say to watch out for them, so presumably there are some around here."

I look to see what Victoria is doing. If she is free, I will try to get her attention.

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?

>>6016
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!"

>>6017
"I don't...huh?"

After taking a few seconds to process what just happened, I take a close look at the bear, trying to determine whether it's a person in a costume or some kind of mechanical device.

>>6018
It seems a few others are as puzzled as you are.

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

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

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

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

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

Rudolf approaches the bear and asks him the following questions:

>Why do we all seem to have amnesia about having checked in?
"Upupu, that's a good question.~"

>Why do we all lack our luggage?
"Oh, that! When you arrived I took it for you. You'll find it in your rooms later!"

>Why did you blow the tents to kingdom come?
"Because I'm a bear."

>Where had Mr. Goldbar gone?
"Mr. Goldbar? Who's that? ...This place belongs to me, and no one else! And as your camp leader I am obligated to tell you one important thing about your stay here. It's going to be forever! Well, there is one way out... But do you really want to know?"

((Should I just gather that I didn't get any useful information from my inspection of the bear, then?))

"Much as I hate to play along with this, you're probably going to end up explaining regardless, so...what is this 'way out' you're talking about?"

>>6020
((Oh, sorry.))

The bear appears more mechanical than a costume, but it's still lifelike enough to make you question your own eyes.

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?"

>>6021
"Certainly. Firstly, what are the consequences of breaking the rules? Secondly, what's to stop us just sticking together and waiting for the authorities to arrive? I'm sure that missile demonstration of yours has already come to someone's attention. There's no way that this game of yours can be allowed to continue indefinitely. Your expectation that we'll 'co-operate' with this nonsense by murdering each other is ludicrous."

>>6022
"Upupupu, if you break the rules you'll receive a punishment... that is, severe bodily harm if you do not cooperate! And it's your choice to kill. But you're not leaving this place unless you do. You may not want to, but what about everyone else...? People can become such monsters in times likes these!"

>>6023
"Then we just need to come to an agreement, right?"

I turn 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?"

>>6024
((Hold on a sec lol, pretend this post comes before yours.))

"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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfWtYXtFXAY

>>6025
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."

>>6026
Rudolf:

"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."

>>6027
In the meantime, Kirigiri nods in agreement.

Kedge: "Alright with me."

Mion (to Rudolf): "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!"

It seems they have sided with you on the issue.

>>6027
"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?"

>>6029
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."

>>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."

Kirigiri: "Let's start out with the dormitory area, shall we?""

Ozaki refuses to tag along. "Rudolf has the right idea. Fuck groups and fuck bitches. I'm definitely not joining your 'let's not get murdered' group." He then heads off into the dormitory area by himself.

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

Lucas: "Well, there is power in numbers. Anyone who feels the same can go, but we won't look out for you. Seeing as people are leaving, it may be wise to prepare a defensive strategy with the group we have left. Maybe we should head to the dormitory for supplies, and then reveal what we have. That seems like the safest bet instead of wandering around and investigating empty handed. What does everyone think?"

Rudolf: "The rooms. We all need to check our belongings. Might as well make an inventory list of all the things we have at our disposal. While we're at it, we can check all the room locks to make sure only a single key (our own) can open each room."

Kirigiri: "I'll be by myself." She then heads off to the dorm area as well.

Lucas: "Splendid idea Rudolf. Just in case anyone tries anything fancy in their rooms with what they brought with them, we should go in each room one by one, or at least stand in front of each other's open door at the very least. Though, I sincerely doubt anyone wants to hide anything at this point. I then recommend we should head to the cafeteria to see what we can grab. The sooner the better before those who left can gain an advantage."

Sticking together,the group (Blake, Kedgeworth, Victoria, Rika, Philip, Mion, Rudolf, Kazuichi, Drosselmeyer, and Lucas) heads to the dormitory.

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

>>6033
Rudolf: "Right, lets test each of our keys on each room systematically. We can start at Lucas's room and move clockwise. Upon reaching a room belonging to someone in our group, we will need to have them enter the room with at least 2 other members and make and inventory of their items."

Lucas, Rudolf and Kedgeworth enter Lucas's room. The rest wait outside.

Eventually Rudolf, Lucas, and Kedgeworth exit the room. The group then goes to Rudolf's room, and Rudolf exits with what is apparently your cellphone. He asks if it is yours.

>>6034
"A cell phone, huh? I don't remember ever having one of those, but then I have been suffering from amnesia for some reason..."

I take the cell phone and examine it to see if anything about it jogs my memory.

"By the way, what did you find in Lucas's room? We should be keeping track of exactly what items we have access to."

>>6035
((Whoops, it wasn't really yours. My mistake.))

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.

>>6036
"Ah, now that you mention it, I think I did bring a pen and paper. I'll take those if you don't mind."

I use the pen and paper to note down everything we've found so far, as well as the name "Dark Kamijou". Then I head for my own room, since it's right next to where we are. Before entering, I pause and turn to address everyone, speaking loudly enough to hopefully reach Kazuichi and Kirigiri whose rooms are not too far away either.

"...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~"

>>6037
((So should I take this to mean you DO enter your room right now?))

>>6038
((Ah, yes. After addressing everyone, I meant to enter my room and search it. I must have forgotten to add that part.))

>>6039
There is a piece of paper taped to the wall.

“An Announcement from Headmaster Monobear”

There is an anti-picking mechanism installed in the room’s locks. Duplicating the keys is difficult, so make sure you don’t lose yours. There is a shower installed in every room. Please note that during Night Time no water comes out. Additionally, only the shower rooms in girls’ rooms can be locked.

Finally, I have prepared a small present for you. In each room is a box containing five items. Those items are what you brought with you to the campsite. However, all of them were accidentally mixed together, and I had to sort them out by hand. Oops! This means you might not get what you originally brought! Well, mistakes happen! ...Also, you bastards sure love pen and paper! Almost every one of you asked for it!"

-Monobear

Inside you find:

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

(Huh, that's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that most people would bring a pen and paper to a deserted island. How odd.))

After noting down these items on my list, I open the first aid kit and examine the contents.

>>6041
The first aid kit contains bandages, antiseptic, vinyl gloves, medical gauze dressings, antibiotic ointment, cold packs, a CPR barrier, tweezers, aspirin, and ibuprofen.

>>6042
I close the first aid kit, take the five items with me and leave the room. I then show the items to the rest of the group.

"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."

>>6043
((Victoria isn't online at the moment. Not sure how long it'll be waiting

Mion: "Hey, that's right! I did not think much about it at the time, but I recall Victoria telling me something like that."

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."

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)11:59:26

>>6044
"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."

>>6045
During your monologue you notice Rudolf coming back from the kitchen carrying a pot of canned food into his room.

>>6045
Lucas: "Wait one second Rika."

He quickly walks back to his room and returns with a manga in hand.

"Perhaps this belongs to her. I'm assuming, like you are. I just noticed something extremely eerie about the cover when I opened my box. The cute bear looks familiar, does it not? Perhaps she just saw a connection to the situation she was in?"

Last edited at 13/06/13(Thu)12:42:54

>>7058
Blake: "That looks familiar. If I may?" He takes the pocketwatch from you.

Victoria: "Ah! Sorry, I was lost in looking at the scenery and enjoying it. Well, most bears are cute and cuddly. You see them at the zoo at stuff. I one time went to the zoo with Cade and Kari the people I live with, it was so much funny, the bears were running and playing, they even had these cute little cubs. I asked Kari if they were bigger versions of her own teddy bear, but she told me Mr. Bear was stuffed so he wasn't going to grow up to be like a bear cub. That was a little sad, I was hoping he would get bigger and we could play. But that bear, didn't look cute like the ones at the zoo, I'm sad. He should really take lessons from the bears at the zoo, they are much cuter.

And I do apologize for being silent, I've just been taking in this wonderful scenery, it is so much different than the city I live in. This is the first time I've ever been in a location like this.

That said, what was the bear talking about anyway? Graduating? That sounds silly. Why would you want to leave this wonderful place? It is so nice and beautiful, and life is so precious taking someone's is... that is... really cruel.

And those methods! Oh my goodness, how can someone talk like that! Oh hiding anything, as far as I know, no. I'm not holding anything in my pockets or anything, so I don't think so? But as people tell me I'm not the brightest lightbulb in my pack, which makes no sense to me since I'm not a lightbulb, am I? OH! Sorry, I just keep rambling on and on, my guardian Fenris keeps telling me I'm super annoying how I can keep talking and talking at times. I'm sorry."

Kedgeworth approaches you and Lucas, offering each of you a cup of coffee.

"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 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?"

The two of them leave and Kazuichi emerges from his room: "Hey guys. Guys? Hellooooo~"

>>6048
To Victoria: "I...I see. Then I apologise for implying that you were hiding something from us. ......Huh. And I thought I was sheltered."

To Kedgeworth: "Is there something that you wish to discuss that you don't want the rest of us to hear? I would rather stick with the group until everybody's rooms have been checked, if at all possible. You can feel free to talk to Lucas-san if you want, though."

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

>>6049
Kedgeworth and Lucas go to discuss things together in the cafeteria. Blake, Philip, and Drosselmeyer have gone into their individual rooms.

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

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

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

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

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

Mion (to you): "I am very sorry, for a moment I thought you left with Lucas. What do you think about this idea? If I stay here longer i'm going to die of boredom."

"Yeah, we have been stuck here for quite a while, huh? Sorry about holding us up like that. Anyway, I think that we should finish checking the rooms before we go anywhere else. Going by the map, Drosselmeyer's would be next in line, I guess. There's also Kirigiri's, but she left the group at the start...Maybe it would still be worth knocking on her door to check with her, though. After all, it's possible that there were items in her room that belong to other members of the group. What do you think?"

>>6051
((Sorry for just now editing it into that last post, but Blake, Philip, and Drosselmeyer all decided to go into their rooms on their own. You could try knocking or something but they're the most inactive players so it would continue to hold up the game even if you do.))

((Blake actually left his door open if you feel compelled to search his room, actually))

((I see. I hate to take actions based on meta reasons, but there's no sense in holding things up for something so minor I guess.))

"Hm...On second thought, maybe we shouldn't be disturbing people immediately after they've gone into their rooms. I suppose that if the four of us are the only ones who are willing to stick together, we may as well go and investigate the area ourselves and then come back to check on the others later. Anyway, we should probably check Mion-chan's room regardless, so I guess that will be our first stop."

((When we get to Mion's room and I'm able to know that Blake's door is open without meta knowledge, I'll probably suggest to search it.))

((I should have mentioned it wouldn't be meta-knowledge. I must have overlooked it last night: "Well then, I'll go check my room now. I'll leave the door open so keep watch on me if you think I'm suspicious." ))

Kazuichi: "I'm fine with hanging around here until you're done. Just don't take too long, 'kay?"

You and Mion check Mion's Room. Inside is the usual note taped to the wall and:

1. A book on swimming lessons
2. Drosselmeyer's Extra Clothes
3. Military shovel
4. Flashlight
5. Knife

>>6054
((Hm, I would have tried to insist that Kazuichi come with us...Oh well. Let's just hope nobody murders him while we're gone, I suppose.))

"Hm, pretty sure none of those are mine...That knife could be dangerous in the wrong hands, though. Do you mind if I hold on to that? And those clothes are probably Kirigiri's...We should stop by her room later and give them to her if possible."

I note these findings down.

"Anyway, since we're here, I think it's worth checking Blake's room too, since it's open. Is that okay with you?"

Assuming that it is, I enter Blake's room after knocking on the open door.

>>6055
((Crap, my mistake again. These items are a mess. The clothes weren't Kirigiri's but Drosselmeyer's. Kirigiri didn't even list clothes so I dont know why I wrote that.))

Mion agrees and you enter Blake's room:


You find:

1.Rope
2.Fruit seeds
3.Sleeping bag
4.Fabulous Scarf
5.Knife

>>6056
I note these items down on my list.

"Another knife, huh...That's the third one so far. I have to wonder why so many of us apparently brought knives to an apparently innocent mystery camp. ......Ideally, I'd like to just collect all of these knives and lock them in my room or something, but I'm sure that the others wouldn't trust me enough to let me do that. Oh well. Let's get back to Kazuichi-san, anyway."

When we get back to Kazuichi's room, I'll show him the list of items that we found in the two rooms, to check whether any of them belong to him.

>>6057
Mion: "Huh, these are not my clothes. I don't think I brought any of these items. Yes, take the knife."

When you get to Blake's room:

Mion: "Another knife! We should take this one too!"

After leaving, while in the hallway out of sight of the others, Mion quietly tells you:

Mion: "Oh well, more importantly. Rika-san, I have something to ask. I want to work with you, I feel like you are one if not the only one I can trust here. I have been thinking about a plan, but I can't discuss about it now, since we are limited in time. Would you want to meet me tonight in my room or in yours, that way we can talk freely."

She takes a pause, and then adds: "I don't intend to kill anyone, but I won't let myself die in here. I'm sure we can make it if we work together. What do you think, Rika-san?"

>>6057
((Note: I've kept you moving with Kazuichi's group regardless of your answer to Mion's question. Your passive skill would allow you to retroactively leave if you desire.))

>>6058
Since Mion is okay with it, I'll retroactively take the knife from Blake's room if at all possible. Assuming that Mion didn't already take it herself.

In response to Mion's question: "Certainly, I'd be fine with that. The only way to survive this game is to form close alliances, and the faith that you've shown in me by allowing me to keep hold of a dangerous weapon makes me inclined to feel that I can trust you too."

>>6059
I will stick with the group, yes.

>>6060
You return with Mion and show Kazuichi the items you found. Of course, you confiscate the knife.

Kazuichi: "... Nope, don't recognize any of those. We ready to go?"

After some walking you all arrive at what looks to be a giant junkyard. Mounds of trash everywhere, there is a single building amidst it all. There is a sign: "Garbage Disposal Facility".

Victoria: "This is not the beautiful scenery I had in mind. I should complain to the camp counselor."

Kazuichi: "... Huh. I was hoping for machine parts rather than plain garbage, but beggars can't be choosers."

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

Kazuichi leads the group into 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.

Victoria: "What an awful smell. This camp keeps getting worse and worse. I for sure won't recommend this camp to any of my friends anymore. They should have put more work into it. I'm going to give it a negative review now."

Kazuichi inspects the incinerator and then walks around to the generator.

Kazuichi: "... Somehow, I don't think there will be any visitors to the camp after us."

Victoria: "This place is really strange don't you think?"

Mion takes out her flashlight and follows behind Souda as he moves around to inspect the generator. She starts the flashlight and points at what he is looking/doing and checks it too.
She smiles and says "This place could use more light and a cleaning, did you find anything useful?"

Kazuichi: "Heh, thanks for the light, Mion! ... Still, I don't think we're gonna find much more down here than a few tools. I'm heading back out." He leaves the building.

Mion, still looking at Souda, answers Victoria. "This is only a garbage facility, anything should be strange around here. But, look at these cables." She points at the cables that leads outside. "Do you think that this generator supplies the dorm too?"

Mion: "Huhhh, I don't like this place. I don't think we should stay here any longer. Let's go outside." Victoria follows, leaving you inside.

You notice Kirigiri and Kedgeworth sneaking around. It looks like they are focused on searching for someone else, and ignore you.

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.

I call to Ozaki and the others, trying to get their attention.

"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?"

I show them the list of items.

>>6062
((I'll post Kirigiri and Kedgeworth's answers as they give them to me. Note that they have already left the area but will still be asked because of your skill.))

Ozaki: "Oh there are items inside the rooms? I haven't been there yet. I guess I'll check that out later, thanks for telling me."

He then goes inside the incinerator room.

>>6063
I turn to the rest of the group.

"Well then, are we ready to leave? It doesn't look like we're going to find anything else here...Anyone have any ideas on what to do next?"

>>6064
Victoria: "Maybe we should check out the rest of the campsite?"

Mion looks outside and begins to follow the trail north, away from the dorm.

>>6065
"Yeah, sounds reasonable. I'm sure there's still a lot that we haven't seen."

I follow.

>>6066
Mion leads you both on the north trail. After some walking you are stopped in your tracks by a gigantic wall.

There appears to be a tunnel through it, but it's currently sealed off. A sign on it says "NORTH QUADRANT".

Upon seeing this Mion suggests returning to the dorm, as you all begin to feel hungry.

>>6067
"Hm...I guess heading back for now isn't such a bad idea. We're probably going to be stuck here for a long time, so it's not like there's any rush to map out the whole place immediately."

>>6068
((Kedgeworth's response: "I found a water bottle, some lighter fluid, a bag of screws, a cup of noodles and a toy boat. Anything seem familiar? I'm still looking for my writing materials and paper." ))

Victoria: "I agree we can't go exploring without having food to run on."

You all return to the cafeteria to eat, where you find Ozaki grabbing some apples from the pantry.

((To Kedgeworth: "Oh, I think that the water bottle is mine. And we've found two pens so far...I'm using one of them, but you can have the other one if you want? We only have one notepad so far, though, and I'm using that...Your paper must be in one of the rooms we haven't searched yet."))

While we are eating, I address the others in our group. "...You know, I just realised...Victoria, when we were searching the rooms earlier, we skipped over yours, didn't we? We'll have to remember to check it later...I don't know why it slipped my mind at the time."

>>6070
((Kedgeworth: "I'll take one of the pens later when I find some paper."))

Victoria: "Don't worry, I forgot too. Things slip from my mind all the time. We might as well go check it out now I guess. Before I forget again."

She then goes to her room.

>>6071
"Okay. We should go together, then...Being isolated is dangerous."

I follow Victoria to her room.

>>6072
Inside her room you both find:

1. Satellite phone
2. Bottled Water
3. Sharp Car key
4. “A Study In Scarlet”
5. Bottled Water

Victoria: "No chairs, no nothing. They must be hiding."

Victoria then proceeds to look through the rest of her room.

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.

>>6073
Victoria: "I don't think any of these except one of these bottles of water is mine. I wonder where my boat went..."

Victoria: "Mr. Bear! Does this camp even have a lake? Also are the products in the bathroom the same in all the rooms?"

Monobear suddenly appears to answer her question.

Monobear: "Upupu, this camp does have a lake! Since you even asked about it, I'll tell you it's on the trail leading west from the dorm's main entrance. The products in the bathroom are the same, with the exception of feminine products exclusively in girls' rooms."

Victoria: "That's good, now I know if I run out I can ask to borrow some from the others. Thank you Mr. Bear. I've changed my opinion about you, you can be cute. You should really plan some more camp activities like a camp bonfire or a fun game."

Monobear: "Upupupu, group activities? Not a bad idea~"

He disappears.

Victoria: "I just got a great idea Rika! Let's have a slumber party. All 4 of us girls. It will be so much fun! We can stay up all night and talk and play games!"

>>6075
((Kirigiri: "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." ))

"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..."

>>6075
"I, umm...don't know if that's a good idea. It wouldn't be good for us to be tired out when the morning comes, after all...Anyway, while we're here, there's something I want to check in my room.

You stay in here while I'm gone, alright? Your own room is the only place where you can be safe on your own, since you're the only one with a key. If anyone knocks, don't let them in until you've made sure that it's me or Mion-chan, okay? That applies to any time when you're in here on your own...Make sure you don't go wandering around during the night alone or anything like that. If there's somewhere you really need to go, knock on my door or Mion-chan's first so that we can come with you. As long as you always stick with one of us whenever you're outside this room, you should be okay.

...I'm only saying this because you don't seem to have grasped exactly how dangerous our situation is. I know it's probably hard for you to believe, but I am sure that there are people among us who would be willing to kill one of us for the chance to get out of here, given the opportunity. We have to make sure that they don't get that chance. I'm pretty sure that Mion-chan is trustworthy, and I know that I am, but I don't know about anyone else. Just make sure that you keep that in mind. I really want all of us to get through this...

Games like this that reward cruelty and violence are disgusting. Normally, in a game like this, a naive and trusting person like you would be the first to die. I really don't want that to happen. I won't let things go the way that bear wants them to. ...Anyway, just stay here for now. I'll be back in a few minutes to discuss how we should spend the night."

I leave the room and enter my own.

You go into the hall and see Kirigiri Rudolf and Philip enter their rooms. You enter your own.

>>6079
I enter the bathroom and experiment with the lock on its door. Is it possible to lock it from the outside, or only from the inside?

>>6080
The bathroom's lock can only be locked from the inside. It's a simple doorknob with a push-button to lock it.

>>6081
"Okay...Good to know."

I place the two knives that we obtained from Mion and Blake's rooms inside the sink cabinet. Then I leave my room and lock it behind me.

>>6082
You open the door and see Mion standing at Rudolf's door, across the hall.

>>6083
"Oh, hi Mion-chan. What have you been up to? I was just checking something in my room, but I was about to knock on Victoria's door and discuss our next course of action. Would you like to join us?"

>>6084
Mion decides to join you.

>>6085
"Okay then~"

I knock on Victoria's door. "Victoria, it's Rika. May Mion-chan and I come in?"

>>6086
She opens the door.

Victoria: "Why of course, it is much more fun with others they by yourself."

You see Rudolf following Mion. He asks you if he can see the inventory list.

"Oh, certainly."

I show him the inventory.

>>6088
Mion enters the room and sits down on Victoria's bed.
"Ahhhh, I"m tired. What a day, that place has everything to scare people. I tell you.

Well then, will you be joining us Rudolf-san?
This might be a good time to gather information and think about our next plan."

Rudolf: "I know for certainty that the shovel was mine, and I believe the zippo lighter as mine too. Any chance I can get those back? Most especially the shovel as I've always been rather fond of it. Or do I need to ask the people who still have them?"

Rudolf then turns to Mion and says "May I please have my shovel back?"

Mion: "Ohhhh, did you know that it could even open up canned foods? Yeah, give me a second, I'll go get it."

Mions stands up and leaves the room. Very quickly afterward she returns with the shovel and gives it to him.

Rudolf: "Ah, thank you very much."

Turning the everyone else in the room Rudolf says "True, we need to discuss our next course of action. Granted, I'm almost tempted to say we shouldn't stay in too large of a group, as we will be unable to move about and explore very effectively. Teams of 2 or 3 would likely be most effective."

>>6089
"Yeah, I agree with you, Rudolf-san. I really wanted to keep everyone together at all times, but I quickly realised that it just wasn't realistically possible. Besides which, it's difficult to form close relationships and come to trust each other when there are so many people to keep track of...It's regrettable that I can't keep an eye on everyone, but it seems like staying in smaller groups is the best way to go from here.

I don't know if you're aware, Rudolf-san, but Victoria, Mion-chan and I have been working as a group for the past little while. I feel that I can trust both of them, and that we make a good team, so I'm hoping that we can try and stick together throughout this game. If we always try and stay with each other, then we should never be isolated, which should prevent any potential culprits from being able to attack. I don't know you very well at this stage, Rudolf-san, but if you are interested in joining our group, I wouldn't object.

That said, I feel that splitting into groups of two would be a bad idea. The reason for this is that, on the off chance that one of the two isn't trustworthy, they could murder their partner without any witnesses and "graduate". Therefore, I think it is best if we try to stay in groups of three or more at all times if at all possible. Of course, I'm not saying that I would feel afraid to be alone with Victoria or Mion-chan, but setting aside emotional reasons, it is a logical precaution to take."

Victoria:"Being in groups of three is more fun anyway. 2 a group, 3 is a party or something like that a friend of mine used to say. And I completely trust Rika and Mion, they are my friends."

Rudolf: "Nonsense, if a group of two existed and one killed the other, the murderer would be the most likely suspect. Killing your partner is bad because you'd come under a great deal of scrutiny about it and would likely be easily found out."

Rudolf then opens the door.

Rudolf: "Uhhh.... guys......... that lone wolf fellow is out here. So uhhh... whatcha doing there? Spying on us?"

Ozaki: "Yes... ... people should be sleeping right now. Everyone else has their lights off. I was worried that you guys were planning something but it seems your conversation is civil enough. You should get some sleep, night."

Ozaki then goes to his room. Rudolf also goes to his own.

((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.))

Mion: "Sooo, is there something you wish to talk about before we go to bed? If not, please take a look at this."

Mion gives you a napkin with something written on it:

RUDOLF USHIROMIYA: Super Seacat-Level Eccentric

Passive Skill - Corruption: Can properly wield any weapon without prior training and perfectly hit any target.

Active Skill - Don't Stop Thinking: Can extend the time limit on any trial for another 24 hours IRL; can only be used once per trial.

>>6092
"Well, I was going to try and formulate a plan for what we should do tomorrow, but maybe it would be best to just take things as they come..."

I look at the napkin.

"......Huh? That's...Is that the information from Rudolf-san's Gold Card? Where did you get that?"

>>6093
((Seems like Mion still has a few things to say, but in the event you're online it would be best to get a head start. What do you plan to do when you wake up in-game, at 7:00 AM?))

>>6094
((Probably just get the group together and continue exploring the campsite, assuming that nothing happens during the night.))

Mion: "Perfect. Where did I get it? You will know in time. I am giving it to you as a proof that our alliance isn't just words. I can guarantee that this is a copy of Rudolf's golden card."

She is about to leave. "Well then, Ill leave it at that for tonight, take care of yourself my friends and good night."

Mion then returns to her room.

A short time later you notice the lights flicker on and off a few times. It remains dark for a few minutes before light is finally restored.

((Do you go to your room and sleep or stay in Victoria's and sleep there?))

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 follow them, but stay a little way behind them, attempting to listen in on any conversation that is taking place.

>>6099
You arrive at the cafeteria. Looks like Ozaki got here first.

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

>>6100
I take a seat and gesture to Victoria and Mion to come over.

"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."

I lower my voice slightly to avoid anyone outside the group overhearing.

"In the mean time...Mion-chan, would you mind if I asked you about that information on Rudolf-san? I am curious as to how you came about it...Is that one of your skills, to be able to read other peoples' abilities? Or did you actually see his card somehow?"
