Check Krauss's body. Search for wounds or oddities, attempt to determine cause of death. Check for rigor mortis.

Check the window locks and the closet. Search the closet.

"Not exactly an airtight closed room.... but why would the killer go out of their way to help us find the bodies....."

>>15645
You search the body a find a wristwatch on his wrist and a few keys in his pocket.
After searching his body you determine that he only has two apparent wounds; one being a slight gash going along his left side which has cut through his clothing and the other on his neck which seems to have been cut to the carotid artery.
You find rigor mortis to have partially developed already.

The windows are all found to be locked. The closet seems to have a variety of shoes, clothing, bags, and other apparel items you would expect. You fail to find anything else of interest in the closet.

"Early signs of rigor mortis... does that mean we can date Krauss's death prior to Reinon's death? That would mean Reinon may have spent quite a bit of time tied down there while it was filling with water....... But without complete rigor mortis, that means Krauss was not here terribly long......

Unless the tenseness in the body is rigor mortis wearing off, then that would change the timing. We will have to either wait here to determine if rigor mortis is in early/late stages or will have to return later to check."

>>15647
"...You rather knowledgeable about that kind of thing eh?," Rudolf mutters. He moves to look at Krauss, and quickly turns with a grimaced expression, "...How could this have happened?"

Taking your talk into account Rudolf turns around and asks Genji, "What was Reinon tasked with doing yesterday?"
"I believe she was preparing the beds and doing laundry last night. The machines are in boiler room so she had to return there periodically."

"I see... What should we do now? With Krauss... like this we will need to tell the others at some point."

>>15648
"In law school I had wanted to be a prosecutor, so I was very well versed at criminal justice. Everyone will be gathered together for breakfast, we'll wait to tell them until after everyone else has at least eaten.

We should lock this up for now, the subsequent police investigation will question us if we make major changes to the crime scene."

>>15649
The two of them agree to what you say and the room is left as is and then locked.

"Genji, you should contact the police. There is a radio to contact Niijima right? See if you can get that working," Rudolf orders. Genji agrees and you three continue to the first floor.

Upon reaching it Rudolf adds, "Now that I think about it, I really need to change my shoes," he says as you recall that moments ago you all got soaked in water. "I need to go back to my room, do you need some clothing Archer?"

Only now that he brings it up you feel just how freezing you are.

>>15650
"I doubt the radio will work in this weather, but its worth a try. One last thing, how many keys can open the lock to Jessica's room? And shouldn't Reinon have had some set of keys since she works here?

My clothes is back at the guesthouse. You get changed first and then we'll go get my clothes at the guesthouse. Buddy system is good, seeing as how the culprit is likely to strike again."

"Jessica wished for more privacy a few months ago and had a custom lock fitted to the room. That is the only key which works on the door.

Most of the keys are kept in the servant room, each servant does have a master key however that can unlock a few of the rooms. I believe I saw Reinon's key in her room when we put her there."

Rudolf agrees to the buddy system the two of you will leave should you have no more questions for Genji.

>>15652
You and Rudolf head to his guestroom while Genji heads off to check the radio. You wait outside the room and after a short while Rudolf exits with a fresh set of clothing.

The two of you head to the guesthouse and following the few minutes of walking you make it to your room.

"Alright, go quickly. We should hurry back after this."

You are back in your room currently.

>>15653
Check my possessions, brush my teeth, and change into dry clothes.

>>15654
You find all your possessions to be in order, and following the brushing of your teeth you get dressed and head out to meet Rudolf.

Finding nothing that stands out in the guesthouse the two of you leave and head back to the mansion. Shortly after you enter Genji is there to meet you.

"As you expected, neither the radio or external line seem to work," he states.

Immediately after this you all head to the dining room to find everyone else safe, but some are rather annoyed. You take note that Jessica is sitting at the head of the table, she doesn't seem to be talking though.

"Where were you Rudolf, and where is Krauss?" Eva calls out.
Rudolf raises his hands out in some attempt to calm her down, "He said that he wasn't going to eat, he will be down after breakfast."

"Is he feeling sick? Perhaps I shoul-" Natsuhi starts to say while she stands up. Rudolf starts to panic but Genji quickly takes control of the situation.
"I have already brought him some medication and he declined it confirming that he simply didn't get enough rest. He assures you he will be down soon enough."

After that they all seem to more or less accept that explanation for now. Kyrie seems to be giving Rudolf a sharp glance but otherwise everyone gets ready to eat. Your seat seems to be at the end of the table again.

>>15655
Best to sit down and eat breakfast. I'll wait to have Genji or Rudolf inform everyone.

>>15656
You sit down and Gohda beings preparing the food.

Breakfast is quite uneventful. It is mostly quiet and so the sound of eating and scraping of plates is all that is really heard.
Eventually breakfast is finishing and Gohda and Sanon being to leave, but Genji whispers something to them quickly. Everyone is ready to leave when Rudolf stops them.

BGM: Scar Sound

"What, is this about Krauss?" Rosa asks.
"Yes, just wait a few moments. I need to tell everyone something."

Those words left a foreboding vibe to the room which everyone seemed to catch. After a few moments Sanon and Gohda bring Asune to the dining room.

"Alright now that everyone is here..."

Rudolf explains about the boiler room, about Reinon, and finally about Krauss. Naturally there are objections right away.

Rosa holds her forehead, "Wait murder, you aren't serious are you?"
"Archer and Genji both can confirm this. I'm afraid this is reality," Rudolf explains. Genji gives a nod of confirmation.

"Reinon... no it can't be..." Asune cries out along side Gohda who blows his nose with a napkin. While not crying buckets Sanon is also visibly displeased.

"Uncle Krauss, but who could have..." Battler stands in shock from the news, the other cousins seem to feel just the same.

The adults meanwhile quickly started getting into a debate.

"Oh yes Krauss just happened to die," Eva sarcastically remarks.
"Do you really think I would do something this low Eva! Unlike you I'm not that type of person." Rudolf retorts.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Eva yells quickly taking offense.

The discussion quickly pitters down to them deciding that they should go see the body themselves. Jessica, who has been quite this whole time speaks up. "Genji... Grandfather still had that gun collection, correct?"
"...Yes that is so."
Jessica stands up and pushes back her chair with a teary eyed face "We should make that our priority then. If you wish to... confirm my father's death then we can do it on the way."

Seems like everyone more or less decides that they should do this first before anything else.

>>15657
"Reinon, first. She's closer. After that we can go see Krauss."

>>15673
Seems like a few of the adults had been more focused on Krauss than the maid, but everyone agrees to head there first and you all move to the servant quarters.

Genji unlocks the room and the adults view the waterlogged body. Hideyoshi even goes in to check her pulse. Battler and George hold back Ange a good distance away in order to prevent her from seeing anything. "Here it is," Genji calmly states as he reaches down to pick up a key on the table.
"We should take it with us, so that the murderer doesn't get ahold of it," Rosa suggests.

After a short debate Jessica is given the key to hold onto and everyone leaves the room before it is locked once more. In addition it is asked if the rest of the servants have their master keys on them, to which the four of them confirm this question by showing them to the group.

After all of this it is time to move to the second floor, back to Jessica's room.
In similar fashion to Reinon's body, the adults slowly walk over and take a quick look at what remains of Krauss. It is fairly obviously they are taken aback by this body more so.
"Something like this..." Rosa manages to say before covering her mouth and turning away.
"..." Natsuhi remains silent before following in suit and copying Rosa. Seems like nobody can deny this sight as it is etched into their memory.

Before everyone decides to lock the door Jessica moves into the room and digs around a bit before returning all while attempting to avoid looking at the body. She eventually speaks up, "To the study now... everyone?"

"What did you grab in there? Disturbing the crime scene is a bad idea, as this will hinder the subsequent police investigation."

>>15675
Jessica holds out her hand in you find an inhaler. "It's my room after all."

Presuming you have no further use of the room the group will move to the study.

>>15676
"Alright to the study we go."

>>15677
BGM: Sukashiyuri

Not before locking the room again everyone heads up to the third floor. Now in front of the large door you stumbled upon last night, Genji quickly pulls out a key and unlocks the door. You can hear the lock make a distinct sound as the mechanism releases and the door is swung open.

The room itself is rather impressive and hosts various bookshelves lining the walls. It looks like they function as cabinets as well and feature various occult looking nicknacks. On one end it has been used to store liquor. There is a small table with a few chairs off the side. At the back of the room there is a large desk with two suits of armor on either side. There are a few tables covered in various jars and glasses containers, making it look like something straight out of a laboratory. There are a few windows in this room and another portrait of the women hanging on the wall. There seems to be various rooms branching off from this main one; a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, closet, and a balcony as well.

"...the guns are?" Jessica asks of Genji upon entering. With a quick response Genji moves over to the corner of the room and slides back one of the glass panes on the cabinets. It seems like whatever these weapons were they held importance to Kinzo and have been locked away heavily. It should take some time before they are free.

Currently Battler, George and Ange are looking at the lab equipment with curious eyes. Rosa is over by the portrait of the women away from the group. Kyrie and Rudolf are talking a short distance away from Eva, Hideyoshi, Jessica, Natsuhi, and Genji who are removing the guns. Finally Gohda, Sanon, and Asune are over by the entrance to the room. You are currently in the middle of the main room.

I go and strike up a conversation with Rudolf and Kyrie

"So like, are you guys sure its the best idea to arm ourselves to the teeth and stay locked away in a room where it is likely paranoia will cause us to fall apart as a group?"

"It doesn't sound like you think very highly of us," Kyrie says with a small laugh. "In any case I was curious about the boiler room, you found Reinon in the flood right? Did you find anything else worth noting?"

>>15680
"The key to Jessica's room was tied to the rope that was holding Reinon down. That is what led us to Krauss's body.

It was odd that Genji seemed to be able to stop the water from flooding by messing around with valves..... it seems that whoever started the flood ended up using the valves rather than damaging the machines. That is to say, it must have been someone with some familiarity using those valves.

It's just that I've seen paranoia before, its not pretty."

I will then go talk to the servants who aren't Genji

"Did Reinon have any enemies? Why would anyone want to kill her? Krauss had plenty of business rivals and enemies, but a servant from an orphanage?"

Last edited at 14/08/07(Thu)21:04:32

"I see, that is interesting. Rudolf you didn't mention this did you?" Kyrie says.
"Well, I didn't see much, one second the room was flooding and in the next Archer returned with a body," Rudolf explains.
Kyrie continues, "It just seems odd that they would purposely leave a key for us to find... Speaking of that there is a key to the boiler room as well right?"
"Yeah, I saw Genji going to get it actually, that is when he asked for some help." Rudolf says.

Genji who was in ear range adds his own input to the matter.
"That is correct. Once I found the door locked I quickly went to the servant room to get the key. The boiler room isn't normally locked you see."
"Is there just the one key?" Kyrie asks as he explains his side of the story. Genji confirms this and goes back to work after Kyrie thanks him.
"I see... well anyway thank you Archer."

You then go over to the other servants.

"Oh no certainly not," Gohda explains, "Something like this is unthinkable, Reinon wouldn't hurt a fly." Asune nods her head in agreement with tears in her eyes. "I think you are right, it doesn't make much sense," Sanon adds dejectedly.

Seems like they are just as lost as you are.

>>15682
After standing around talking for a while a large shattering sound is heard.

"Battler watch it!" George exclaims as he jumps back from the glass flying out around his feet.
"Sorry, it slipped ok?" Battler explains as he mimics George by escaping from the debris. As soft fog quickly expands from under the lap equipment that had been broken.

"Quickly everyone out!" Genji says as he grabs the remaining guns and quickly grasps them under his arm. One by one each person you knew to be inside of the room escapes and the door quickly is shut behind them. Genji places a towel under the door apparently one he grabbed from inside the study before escaping.
"What was that all about? Some sort of freaky experiment?" Hideyoshi asks.
"Forgive me I don't know the details. The late Master had various potent chemicals and had explained many to be harmful. It is best we don't enter the study any time soon."

After making sure everyone is safe, the adults begin to discuss where to head next.
"We have the guns so let us just hold up until Kawabata comes." Eva suggests.
"The study is out for the count, so the parlor... or the chapel maybe?" Rudolf chimes in with his own suggestions.

Eventually it is decided that the parlor is the best location and on the way some canned food and water bottles are picked up by Hideyoshi and Gohda. Rudolf, Eva, Natsuhi, and Rosa are giving the Winchester rifles that were retrieved from Kinzo's study.

Now inside of the parlor, the door and windows are barricaded loosely with furniture, but enough has been left so that people can still rest properly. Eva and Hideyoshi are looking out of the windows near the corner of the room. Battler, Jessica, George, and Ange are sitting around a small table in the back of the room. Kyrie, Rudolf, and Rosa are seated on the couches in front of the main doors, Natsuhi is sitting across from them. The servants are over by the wall resting on some wooden chairs, Genji seem to prefer standing however. Seems like the situation remains the same, merely a change of scenery has occured.

>>15767
"The windows may be nice to look out of, but that can become a method in which the culprit may spy in on us. I suggest we draw the blinds, lest we be fired upon from outside.

Other than that, anybody have any other information that could be of use? Anything, however mundane it may seem, could be of use to us in identifying the culprit and/or danger whilst assessing this situation."

>>15768
BGM: Suspicion

You help Eva draw the blinds and proceed to ask everyone for anything infomation. At first you fail to get any real response, but Kyrie seems to have something in mind herself. She begins to ask a few questions to the others.

"Jessica," Kyrie asks, "the key to your room is one of a kind correct? Did you have it on you last night?"
Jessica is at first taken aback but quickly begins to think, "I believe I left it in my own room. I ended up deciding to sleep in the guesthouse instead of the mansion, so I never went back to retrieve it. Oh, and it is most certainly the only key to my room."

Kyrie thanks Jessica and begins to pace a bit, "So during the night the culprit could have simply taken the key from the room, nothing difficult there. However the boiler room key was also used." Kyrie then goes over to the servants and continues her interrogation. Luckily the room isn't too large so everyone can listen in on her process.

"It was Sanon that was stationed in the servant room last night... correct?"
"Ah, yes it was me," Sanon quickly responds after an initial bout of surprise.
"And did you remain there during the night. I don't suppose you ever saw the key to the boiler room did you?"
"Yes the whole night, at one time Rosa asked for a drink and some medicine so I left to go deliver that."

Kyrie begins to explain how the culprit simply had to enter during this time, however Sanon continues to explain her side of the story.
"You see, the master keys are rather bulky, and presses against you when sitting down in these uniforms. Due to this I place my own key in the box with all the other keys. I had only left once last night and before I left I definitely saw the boiler room key, for it has a distinctive square shape unlike the others. When I returned it was still there. At midnight I locked the room myself with the servant room key, which I then kept on my person during the night. I don't think anyone could have taken it."

Kyrie pauses, before continue yet again, "How long do you suppose it took to deliver to Rosa?"
"I think it would have been less than two minutes," Sanon explains, "However I think I would have heard the door to the servant room chime from that far away if anyone had entered."

Kyrie continues her questioning for a few more moments before moving back to her seat. Doesn't seem like anyone else has information they wish to offer up. Eva and Hideyoshi seemed to be talking a bit away from the group, but that soon dies down as well. Looks like the room returns back to the same tension as before.

>>15769
"A chime on the servant's door? I don't recall ever hearing any chime like that yesterday."

>>15810
"Well there is one. It is electronic, you seemed to forget that I saw you trigger it last night."

>>15820
"Oh, right. When I was asking Genji how to get around the mansion... How exactly does the alarm function? Is it possible either someone could disable it, or could keep it from being heard? That would allow them to sneak in unnoticed."

>>15834
"I don't believe so, I would have noticed if anyone had tampered with the device." Genji states, "As for its function, it is triggered whenever the door is opened."

>>15835
"If the door had never closed, then the alarm wouldn't have gone off from the culprit entering the servant's room."

>>15836
Genji and the others agree with what you say as if it had already been brought up.

After a few moments nobody really has anything else to say and for a while the room remains silent. Soon Eva can be heard mumbling to Hideyoshi again, this time Battler decides to pry into the matter.

"Oi, what have you been talking about for some time now?" he states with a perturbed look. Following a short pause Eva makes an unpleasant smile.
"Well I was just thinking, everything about these murders is simple to explain if you point it to one group of people... the servants."

A small mumble rises through the group.
"...You think the servants could be lying Eva?" Natsuhi responses curtly.
"All these complex alibis would be cleared by instantly if so... did you put them up to it Natsuhi?"
"W-why I never!" Natsuhi yells as she stands up from her seat, "If you are so short of memory Eva perhaps you forget, my own husband was killed!"
Eva snickers and follows in suit, "What does it matter?"

The other members of the family are starting to try and calm them down, however that proves quite fruitless and before long the two's emotions have escalated.

BGM: Nighteyes

With quick actions the two of them raise their guns at each other.
"Mother stop this at once!" Jessica calls out, with no response from Natsuhi.
Hideyoshi also attempts to talk down Eva, "This really isn't the time for this."
Eva lashes out verbally, "This sow has it coming!"

At this point you can see the others preparing their own guns, however they are still attempting to talk everyone down at first.
"Mother *cough* please this isn't." Jessica manages to squeak out before coming down in a series of fits. Before long it is clear something isn't quite right.

"Jessica, you ok?" Battler quickly asks as he rushes over to her.
She puts up her hands in a signal not to worry as she quickly takes out her inhaler.
The two females having a stand off remain pointing the guns throughout this, but as Jessica began to fall to the ground Eva slowly starts to put down her gun. "...Natsuhi" Eva says before completely lowing her gun. After a few moments Natsuhi seems to realized the situation and finally lowers her own, then sits back into her seat without a word.

The scene quickly calms down, luckily without having to get your hands dirty. Jessica quickly recovers and the tension in the room seems to have lifted... for now. Looks like Kyrie was right, not everything needs to end as you expected.

>>15837
Pass

>>15838
The silence in the room remains constant until it begins to get dark once again. With no activity in the room it appears that the worse is behind you.

Slowly, a small noise penetrates your ears. A soft sound that you quickly notice the others hearing as well.

“Is that coming from the hallway?” Rudolf asks with a quick look, not before everyone’s view is directed to the door. From under it, water has begun steadily entering the room. With a quick movement, many of the adults stand up from their seats. Genji quickly opens the door and a transformed main hall is brought into view.

The entire entrance and adjacent hallways have been completely flooded in a thin veil of water; at least enough to cover your shoes. Upon opening the door the water also pours into the parlor and quickly engulfs the carpet.

“I thought you said the pipes in the boiler room were fixed?” Rosa asks incredulously.
“Well apparently it didn't work now did it?” Rudolf snaps back at her sarcastically, “The whole staircase leading to the boiler room must be flooded at this point. Even if we tried I doubt any of us could dive down deep enough, and fix it at the same time.”

As they talk a few of the family members step up onto the couches to avoid the water. Despite the floor being clean it seems there is inevitably a slight murk to the water. Eventually Natsuhi speaks up, “We will have to move somewhere else now. The guesthouse seems to be the only area not ruined at this point.”

Nobody has any better suggestions.

"Why don't we just open the front door and let the water all spill out? There's no way there is enough water for it to continue rising if we open doors. Worst case scenario, we can move up to a high floor in this building...."

>>15840
Everyone agrees to go open the others doors in order to let the water empty out. Either moving upstairs or to the guesthouse has yet to be decided on.

The group slowly gathers together and leaves the parlor. Luckily the entrance really isn't that far away from the parlor. Looking into the hallway you can get a better look of the area. With the movement of feet splashing on the water a strong smell is picked up that you didn’t seem to notice from inside the parlor… it’s impossible to mistake it, it’s the smell of gasoline.

BGM: Satsui

You hear a small flick followed by a splosh and suddenly the whole room changes from being water logged to being a scene from hell. Fire engulfs the top of the water and quickly blocks off the entrance to the mansion. You can see a few people diving through the entrance before it was completely blocked off. Amazingly you have yet to be torched, and a quick look around shows that Jessica, Natsuhi, Genji, Battler, and you are the ones who remain stuck in inferno of the main entrance.

“Shit, what do we do?” Battler yells over the flames, frantically looking around for another exit as he throws off his jacket which caught a bit of flame. Jessica and Natsuhi are somewhat standing in shock at the whole affair.
“The gasoline storage must have been breached and it leaked with the flood. If we don’t hurry it could set off a chain explosion.” Genji explains.

With a quick scan you can see the back hallway to the dining room seems to have safe passage, as well as going up the stairs. Everywhere else seems to be cut off.

>>15841
"A window or a door. The dining room has windows, and in the worst case scenario there's chairs that can be used to break windows. Let us not dilly dally."

Lead the way

>>15842
Battler who was closest to that direction quickly takes the lead, not before the rest of you have time to react.

Bad timing on his part as that method of escape is quickly destroyed by a large explosion which you narrowly avoid. As your vision clears Battler is no where to be seen. Genji quickly moves up to the staircase, as it is the last method of escape. Jessica and Natsuhi quickly move to follow.

"Dammit."

Make haste up the stairs

You quickly start to run up the stairs and you, Jessica, and Genji all make it to the top very quickly. There appears to be no fire on the second floor.

“We can jump from the balcony!” Jessica yells as she goes and unlocks the glass doors directly across from the staircase. Immediately following you Natsuhi is lagging behind.

Suddenly a second explosion erupts from under the staircase right where Natsuhi was just standing. You are blown back alongside the others at the top as debris rain down on the stairwell.

Although a bit disoriented you are able to stand up quickly and get a grasp of the situation. You are standing in the doorway to the balcony. In front of you can see the top half of Natsuhi, as the rest of her has been crushed under debris screaming in pain. Her gun has skidded forwards out from her reach. Genji is nowhere to be seen or heard from. Jessica seems to have been thrown beside you and is struggling to get up.
“Mother…” Jessica barely manages to choke out before stumbling again.

>>15845
Natsuhi is a lost cause, and giving Jessica anymore time will cause her to resist leaving. Genji is probably the culprit but that remains to be seen.

Pick up Jessica and jump out to safety

You move to grab Jessica, however...

A gunshot, as clear as the burning floor below you screams through the air. No wait; it was two shots, right after one another. You can see over the balcony someone is lying on the ground in front of the mansion and you can barely make out a gun. Your vision is blurry for some reason and it proves too difficult to make it out.

A clear red stain appears from Jessica’s mouth. Blood gushes before she crumples onto the ground. Trying to react, perhaps to stop her from falling is out of the question; your arms aren't responding. The rain… has it always felt this warm? You look down at yourself and find the answer. Blood has started to engulf your chest. Legs give way and you tilt backwards quickly approaching the ground. Slowly slipping into darkness the last sight you see is Natsuhi still trapped under the debris and the two guns laying between you and her…

>>15847
BGM: Pendulum

As if a silent clock has begun ticking, the man continues to watch it play. Every movement and every slight twitch under scrutiny. The long black tendrils moving about as the eyes flicker open and closed.
The man was thinking, trying to explain this creature. Why was it here? What should he do?

A small snowflake rested inside the hand of the creature. The man had presented it as a gift. It proved quite sturdy against it, despite the delicate shape.

Minutes quickly turned into weeks. How long had he been there… about 147 days? The man left out a small laugh at this number. At this time too, it also started to laugh as well. The man quickly silenced himself at this and watched intently.

The snowflake, slowly but surely, started to melt. It was the same as the rest of the trash along the ground now, at least in the eyes of that thing.

With a small sigh the man began to dig around in his bag, getting ready to start a new.

>>15848
~~~~~
Your eyes fly opened. You are conscious, that is for sure, however you can barely see anything.

You seem to be floating… This place doesn't feel right at all. Where did the mansion go?

A repetitive squishy sound is all that fills the room. You can feel it, something tells you that this isn't right. Your hand glides over yourself trying to find the ailment to this feeling. You quickly located your left arm as it doesn't move. Something sticky…

Eventually your eyes adjudged to the light and it becomes horrifyingly clear. You arm has large gaping wounds in it filled with maggots and pus filled sacks. The skin and muscles are literally dripping off of the structure and bones are beginning to lay bare. Before you can scream, before you can react a large white set of daggers appears around it. A sickening crunch completely removes your arm as you remain in shock at the sight.

A small giggle fills the room. “next time… you here… try… solve… secret rule…”

>>15849

>>15850
As sharply as your arm was cut off, your eyes are pierced by an immense light. Your eyes sting as you begin to try and return to some sense of vision. You hear… seagulls?

Your head hurts from the trauma and despite being in pain you begin to make out shapes. Amazingly your arm is still there… however that couldn’t have been a dream. You reach out and touch it, and quickly feel something missing. It works fine, however you can tell that you have lost something that you can’t explain, which you cannot get back.

You can see the ocean… and you are on… boat? Wait where is the fire? What about the people trapping in the mansion? A look around reveals nobody else there… no wait in the front of the boat. It’s the boat captain who dropped you off.

>>15851
"Gah, shit. What is the date? What happened? How did I get here?"

>>15852
"Are you feeling ok back there?" the boat captain asks. "Don't worry we are almost there. Dinner is at around seven I believe."

Your mind clouds, it can't be. Beside you is your briefcase... and the envelope still completely sealed.

You glance at your watch. It is 6:12pm October 4th 1985.

I pass the torch to Kinjo.

>>15855
With the power of a being higher than that of the gameboard Archer's body suddenly convulses and starts to change shape. The white hair grows longer and flops down. The red outfit changed to that of white to match his hair. The face melts and turns into something different.

Although his background will remain the same, it seems the piece has undergone a drastic change in appearance and personality. The piece's name is now Kinjo Goldbar, and the characters will refer to him as such.
