Rosa frowns and looks at the clock. Jessica has been gone almost 15 minutes.

"Jessica should have come back or called or something by now I would think."

She looks down worried. "Anon, would you go and check on them."

"Geez, why did Jessica had to leave all of sudden? I am worried again now."
"Alright I'll. But you stay here. Where is Hideyoshi and Eva room?"

>>2606
Rosa tells you which room Eva and Hideyoshi said they were going to use. Rudolf, Rosa and Maria say they will stay here.

anon go to the room

>>2608
You arrive at the door and find it locked.

anon will knock the door, if no response he will open it

>>2610
You knock and wait, but you get no response. You use your master key to open your door. But it only opens an inch before the chain stops it from opening further.

anon will try to force the door a bit, also he will try peeking through the opening.

>>2612
The chain refuses to budge no matter no much force you use.

You look through the crack in the door, but you don't see anything of value.

"... I don't like this"
anon will now return to the parlor and ask Rudolf help to open the door.

>>2614
Battler and Shannon hear your attempts to get into Eva and Hideyoshi's room and they come out of theirs as you are just about to head down the stairs.

"Is something the matter?" Shannon asks wondering what is going on.

"Yes, Eva and Hideyoshi aren't replying to our call, and their room is locked with the chain"

>>2616
"The chain is set? That means we can't get inside."

"Damn it. I hope nothing happened to them!" Battler shouts running straight to their door. "Come on Anon help me bust it open!"

"Alright, let's get this door down."

>>2618
Together with one slam Battler and yourself bust open the door. The chain brakes apart and falls to the door. The door busts off its hinges and falls to the floor with a thump.

You can see the whole room from your location. You spot Hideyoshi's corpse on the bed, you can't tell anything from your location though.

You see Eva's corpse near the edge of the bed on a rug. You spot a thin mark around her neck.

You notice the gun sitting on the dresser under a large mirror.

The door to the bathroom is closed, but the door to the walk in closet is open.

You notice something strange near Eva's corpse. It is a pool of blood, you notice there is something in the blood but you can't make out what it is.

"Eva-sama! Hideyoshi-sama!"
Perception check on the room

>>2620
Perception: You rolled a (1)

You notice a thin mark around Hideyoshi's neck just like Eva.

You notice an envelope on the nightstand next to Hideyoshi's corpse.

You notice the windows are locked.

You notice what appears to a red ribbon in the pool of blood.

"That ribbon!" Shannon cries out.

"Jessica was wearing that this morning." Battler finishes.

"J-Jessica-sama." Shannon cries out.

"This is terrible ... we should return to the parlor and inform the others ..."

>>2622
Battler picks up the envelope curious as to its contents before you all leave the room and head to the lounge.

You see Rosa, Maria, and Rudolf in the lounge.

"Rosa-sama, we found Eva and Hideyoshi corpses in the room. I'm very sorry."

>>2624
Rosa froze the cup in her hand fell and crashed to the floor.

"Nee-san is-Nee-san is... d-d-d-d-d-d-dead?!"

"What happened?" Rudolf asks you.

"I went to their room to check them, but the chain of the door was set, Battler helped me to break into the room.
Inside was Eva and Hideyoshi, both of them had marks on their necks, maybe they died by suffocation.
O-oh also we saw Jessica's ribbon, I didn't inspect the room but we couldn't see her."

>>2626
"Jessica-chan's gone missing?"

"It seems like it." Battler commented dryly. "This is going way to far. When I find that bastard!" Battler finished his sentence by punching the wall.

"Uu-! Thirsty, uu!" Maria whined.

"The tea should be here soon." Rosa snapped quickly. She froze then. "Kumasawa.... has been taking a long time."

"You don't think something happened to her do you?" Shannon asked worriedly.

Everyone moved out of the lounge and headed to the servants room.

"It is locked." Battler snarled as he tried to the door. "Damn it! Kumasawa baa-chan! Answer me!"

"Kumasawa-san ..."
anon check the door, and if he can't open it he will use his master key.

>>2628
You find it is locked just like Battler said. You use your master key to unlock it.

The door opens with a creak revealing a shocking, yet not exactly surprising sight. It was something that was expected, nonetheless they wished their fears wouldn't have come true.

Kumasawa was laying in a pool of blood with a stab wound with the knife still sticking into her head.

You notice Kumasawa's master key sitting atop the counter near the blender under the window.

The papers on the desks have been scattered about in a mess on the floor, and written are them are letters.

G-O-U-G-E-T-H-E-H-E-A-D-A-N-D-K-I-L-L

It is the scene of the fourth twilight.

anon take the key and check the room, somebody could be hidden etc

>>2630
You can't find anyone hiding in the room. You notice the windows are locked. Aside from that you don't learn anything new from what you already knew about the room.

You take Kumasawa's master key.

Shannon breaks out in tears upon seeing Kumasawa's corpse.

"What is going on!" Battler howled angrily. "Why, why is this happening!?"

"Who-Who would do this?" Rosa stuttered taking a brief look at the corpse while trying to prevent Maria from seeing it.

"This-this envelope." Battler stutters. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the envelope. "I think we should open this." He says looking around the room to see if people agree or disagree.

He hands the letter out to you. "Anon... would you open it." He asks. "I'm worried that in my current frame of mine, I might rip it up depending on its contents. And it might contain a clue. I want to find that bastard as soon as possible and make them pay for all this."

By now, anon already understood this was not a game, somebody was really serious about a certain sin and didn't care about the other people lives.
"... Let me see it."
Slowly, anon open the letter and read it aloud.

>>2632
Inside are two pieces of paper.

The first piece says: http://boonce.org/up/6445_1312215565851.png

Was it some kind of taunt from the culprit?

The second piece says:
"You can try to run, you can try to hide. But your sin will haunt you, it will stalk you. Until you confess your sin, this nightmare will never end.

This is your fault. You brought this on everyone here and you know it. You know your sin, you know why this is happening. Yet you refuse to give and let more die. The faster you fess up to your crime the more of the sheep will live. Are you heartless? Do you not care what happens to anyone but yourself? If you hold any amount of care for these people you know what you should do.

If you really don't care how many die, then you deserve this even more than first believed. Rot and suffer, and return to the dust you came from.

If you want to try and punish me for trying to bring your sin into light, why don't you come and find me~

Come find me~ I'll even tell you where I am, I'll even wait for you~ I'm in the main house. Come all those who want this game to end, come try to kill me~

Signed the Golden Witch Beatrice

"They are inside the main house." Battler snarled heading for the door. "That's it, I'm coming for you! I'll make you pay!"

"Battler, wait up." Shannon cried out running after him.

Rudolf looks at you. "We should probably follow them, it probably isn't good to split up right now."

" ... I'm kinda screwed right now. So it's a protect "Maria + Rosa" or "Battler + Shannon" ? ..."

>>2634
"No, it is protect the one target. There is only one target. Wasting time trying to protect others is a fruitless effort."

"Rosa-sama, Maria-chan. We gotta follow them, we can't leave them alone with that murderer!"

>>2636
Rosa agrees and the 4 of you rush out of the guesthouse towards the main house.

Upon entering the main house you are overcome with the urge to throw-up. A horrid stench fills the air. It is so horrid it is making your eyes water.

You notice Battler and Shannon not to far ahead of you. It appears they just arrived before you did.

"What is this horrid smell." Rosa mutters as she covers her nose. "Where is it coming from?"

"It appears to be everywhere." Rudolf comments dryly.

"Is this some kind of poison gas or something?" Battler questions.

"It appears to be coming from the vents I think." Shannon says aloud after checking a different room for the smell. "Could something have happened to the boiler that caused this? Does it smell when it breaks down?"

It was a question no one knew the answer too. Was the smell actually coming from the boiler room?

"Uu-" Maria whined pulling on her mother's sleeve. "Maria has to go to the bathroom."

"Hold it." Rosa snapped. "You just went back in the guesthouse not 20 minutes ago."

The group decided the best course of action was to in fact check the boiler. At the top of the stairs everyone noticed that the door to the boiler was open wide. As if invited everyone in.

Battler was the first person to enter the boiler room, and when he did a tear ran down his face and he cried out. "Jessica!"

There was a corpse burning in the boiler, from a glance you could gather two things about it. 1 it was female, 1 the person was a teenager or about that age.

A cute charm lay discarded on the floor of the boiler room along with Jessica's key to her room.

Jessica's corpse had a stab wound in her chest, it was the 5th twilight.

Taking a minor delay until I can discuss this a bit with Kinjo, while you wait, mfw the letter

>>2638
lol. ozaki no help at 4 in the morning.

>>2639
No, that's not the problem. I just wanna have a talk with him as well.

>>2640
yeah I know. I just don't remember exactly what we talked about so I assume I was too tired to think~

Mfw everything in this game.

As if anon brain had a small delay to react, anon awaits a few seconds before running to see the scene better.
"Jessica! Who did this to you!? Why did we allow you to leave alone!? Uuuooohhh!"
Then, like in a genius trance anon clear his face from tears and inspect the room, search for any item inside, check the second door of the boiler room and the door they used to enter as well.

>>2643
Aside from the corpse the only thing you find is Jessica's key.

Looking at the corpse, you are sure that this is indeed Jessica. The same girl who you first saw upon waking up yesterday.

The door to the courtyard is wide open. You don't notice anything strange about it.

You examine the door leading to the first floor, you don't notice anything strange about it.

"Jessica," Shannon cries.

Everyone seems deeply upset over Jessica's death, expect Maria.

"It doesn't matter. We'll see her again in the golden land. Beatrice will revive all loved ones."

>>2644
"... Beatrice will? are you sure of it?"

>>2645
Maria frowns.

"Uu-! Beatrice is a powerful witch. She can do anything. Uu-!" Maria seems to have grown upset at your comment believing that you're doubting Beatrice.

"I am sorry Maria, I didn't doubt of Beatrice power, but I wonder if she will bless us with her magic.
Anyways ... the smell here is horrible, Should we return to the guesthouse? ..."

>>2647
"I don't think it is a good idea to head back to the guesthouse. I think we should stay in the main house for now."

"Alright, lets stay here. We could even go to Kinzo-sama studio, I hear it has it's own bathroom and dinning area.
Anyways, can we check the dinning room? I have hunch I wanna check"

>>2649
"Father study.." Rosa repeats. "But we can't get in? We don't have the key. Maybe we should just go to the parlor or the den."

The group decides to decide where to go after going to the dining room with you. Everyone is fine with going to the dining room. The group leaves the boiler room and heads to the dining room.

The eerie circle still is on the dining room door. Both doors are closed.

In a calm way, and paying his respects for the deceased ones, anon opens the door to the dinning room and inspect it.

>>2651
You find nothing strange about the door. The powerful stench is reaching even to this room through the vents. It appears that the stench is everywhere in the main house.

Everyone starts to consider your proposal about going to the guest house.

>>2651
Laying on the table you see the bodies of Krauss, Gohda and Genji. A large carving knife is stabbed in Krauss's neck. The scene makes it look like Krauss, Gohda and Genji were going to be served as a main dish for breakfast.

You spot the body of Ikuko over by the dining cabinet where the dishes are stored. Only half of her head exists.

"... Wait a second, where is Natsuhi corpse?!"

>>2654
You look around but you can't find Natsuhi's corpse in the room.

"Guys, there's something suspicious here. I can't find Natsuhi corpse.
What if ... if she faked her death and is hiding somewhere?"

>>2656
"Natsuhi Nee-san is the culprit?" Rosa gasped.

"Natsuhi Oba-san..." Battler said in a breathless tone. "She is the one behind all this. She murdered her husband and Jessica!"

"I-I-I-Never knew that Madame was like that." Shannon stuttered. "I-I-I thought Madame was a good person."

"Who would have thought." Rudolf mutters. "I guess if you think about it, it makes sense. But who would have thought that she would murder her own daughter. She really has no heart."

"I never knew Madame was such a heartless person."

"Well, we can't be sure. She could be the culprit or she could be completely innocent, but there's something weird with Jessica dead. Burning her corpse to make it hardly recognizable anymore. Who knows, maybe even Jessica is alive ...
Anyways, Shannon, do you have the key to Kinzo-sama studio?"

>>2659
Shannon shakes her head. It appears no one knows where a key to Kinzo's study is.

"You don't? Oh well.
Anyways, we need to take shelter, there could be more than one person pretending to be death on this island. Should we return to the guesthouse? I think Eva gun was left on the crime scene.

>>2661
Upon the realization that they left a gun behind everyone agrees to head over to the Guesthouse.

"Uuu-uu!" Maria whines as everyone enters the lounge. "Maria has to go to the bathroom, Uuu-!"

Rosa looks at Maria, and lets out a sigh. "Alright but this is the last time I'm taking you." Rosa gets up and leaves the room with Maria.

"We should probably go and get that gun from Eva Nee-san's room." Rudolf mentions. "Here Battler, hold onto the gun. Shoot anyone who tries to enter the guesthouse ok. We locked the main door when we left, and it was still locked when we returned, so no one should have been able to get inside. We should be safe. I'll be right back."

With those words Rudolf also leaves the lounge.

"Wait Rudolf, I'm going with you."
anon follow Rudolf to Eva room.

>>2663
You and Rudolf head up the stairs while Rosa and Maria go by the stairs to the bathroom.

You both head down the hallway until you reach Eva's door. The room is very noticeable with its broken door and open doorway.

"Nee-san." Rudolf says as he enters the room and sees the scene for the first time.

"... What a despicable scene...
Rudolf, do you think Natsuhi would be able to commit this crime?"

A white butterfly flew through the cracks of the window in the lounge. It flew right past Battler and Shannon, though they didn't react to it at all.

Did they not see it?

Or did they just ignore it?

It flew down the hallway and past the stairs. It stopped in front of the door to the bathroom. Before it squeezed its way through the cracks in the door.

The bathroom was pretty big. The toilet area and the sink area where Rosa stood at where blocked by a separate room. The door to the toilet area were Maria currently was, was closed.

Rosa gazed out the window deep in thought. She was enthralled with her troubles so deeply that she didn't hear the sound of footsteps approach her.

"Mama."

Rosa jumped at the sudden voice. She looked to her left, Maria stood there smiling at her.

"M-M-Maria?" Rosa stuttered.

"Yes Mama." Maria replied.

"Maria?" Rosa repeated.

"Yes Mama?" Maria said again.

Rosa could tell something was wrong. But she couldn't but her finger on it. Something in her was screaming at her, but she couldn't place it. Something was telling her that something was wrong with this picture. But she couldn't figured it out.

It was sharp and sudden. A horrible pain shot through Rosa. "You're not Maria." Rosa gutted out with her last breath.

"How perceptive." Maria smirked pulling the pitch black staff from her Rosa's stomach.

"Ok, Mama. All done." Maria said as she came out of the toilet area. "Mama!" Maria screamed seeing her mother's corpse.

"Mama! Mama! Mama!" Maria cried out tears streaming down her face. She looked over at her double. "Why, why did you kill Mama!"

Her double smirked at her. "Me? What are you talking about? You killed your mother!"

The staff suddenly vanished from 'the doubles' hand and appeared in Maria's. Blood stained Maria's hands. She screamed and cried out. She looked around for the doppelganger but her double wasn't around, almost as if she didn't exist.

>>2665
"Natsuhi Nee-san, strangling people. It sounds kind of weird, but it isn't impossible. Sure it might not be possible for her to strangle Hideyoshi, but if he was sleeping I think she could do it. Or maybe she had help or something?"

The sound of crying suddenly interrupts your conversation. It is Maria's voice.

"Was that Maria?! Lets check the bathroom!"
anon will also pick the gun before leaving Eva room

>>2668
You pick up the gun before racing out of the room with Rudolf. You arrive at the end of the hallway, and from the bottom of the stairs you can see Battler and Shannon pounding on the door to the bathroom.

"Maria are you ok!" Battler frantically yells. "Maria, Rosa Oba-san answer me!" Battler starts to panic when there is only Maria crying as a response. "Shannon open the door!" Battler yells quickly at her.

Shannon takes out her master key and opens the door. You and Rudolf arrive next to them right as Shannon opens the door.

Rosa is laying on the floor blood spilling out of her chest. Maria is sitting on the tile next to her mother's body. Blood covers her hands, arms, and chest, there is even some blood on her face. A sharp knife is on the ground in between them.

"Rosa Oba-san!" Battler yells. "Ma-Maria-chan you- you- you didn't? Did you?"

Maria continues to cry. "Mama-Mama-Mama-Mama-Mama Mama!"

Shannon cries as well, Battler angrily pounds the tile. Shannon goes over to comfort her, however it seems to have little to no effect.

"Why!" Battler pounds the tile. "Why! Why! Why! Why is this happening!" He screams as the tile he has been punching smashes to pieces. He gains he composure a little bit and stands.

anon quickly take a towel from the bathroom and use it to cover Maria, trying to calm her down a bit.
"... What happened Maria? Who did this to Rosa?"

>>2670
Maria slowly calms down. "Mama-Mama is dead. Mama is dead!" Maria cried again. "Dunno. Mama! Mama! Mama! Come back! Maria loves you! MAMA! MAMA! MAMA!"

>>2671
She seems completely upset. It seems however, she didn't see anything, or if she did doesn't remember. Or something..

"Or Maybe it's just the GM trolling me."

_______________________________________________

"This is bad, guys we should shuttle ourselves in a room for now. Every time we split out somebody gets murdered, this is just insane. Whoever is plotting this massacre is obviously checking what do we do."

>>2673
Trust, love, etc. But one can wonder where trolls lie, and where truth exists.
_____________________________________________

"We should all stay in the lounge for now. I think." Rudolf tells shuffling everyone to the lounge.

anon will follow everyone to the lounge. Also since he is a gun faggot he will check the load of the gun, and if it does have more than one bullet he will make a test shoot on the floor.

>>2676
It is fully loaded, has all 5 bullets.

You shoot one into the floor. The bullet its the floor and creates a dent as the gun smokes.

"Alright, this gun seems to work fine. Also, it had all the bullets so apparently Eva nor Hideyoshi had any chance to resist against his killer, maybe they were drugged?" anon think aloud.
"Shannon, did you see or hear something strange before Maria scream? I don't understand what happened in the bathroom."

>>2678
"Strange sound? What do you mean? What kind do you mean."

"Ermm .."
Noticing Shannon common sense is probably lower than Maria's, he decides to try to talk with her again.
"Maria-chan, please try to calm down for a second, everything will be fine. Please tell me what happened in the bathroom."

>>2680
"Uu- Maria went to the toilet and closed the door, and then can't remember." Maria struggles to remember more. "Woke up, Mama was dead, covered in blood in front of me."

"I see, don't worry Maria, I won't let anyone hurt you."
anon say this to Maria, however he is not very sure if he can fulfill that promise.
"Shannon, this is important. You have been working here for a long time. Do you think it's possible to her to have planned this? It make sense if she wanted to kill the Guest, but why murdering anyone else? Or do you think someone else is behind this?"

>>2682
"........" Shannon remains strangely quiet. "I'm tired of this, so says as tears start to form in her eyes. All this death and suspicion. I don't want to believe that anyone would have done this. I don't want to call them bad people."

"..." Shannon pauses. "Maybe Beatrice-sama is the one behind this as Maria said."

This statement causes Maria to cry. "B-b-b-b Beatrice, is dead. Mama is dead, everyone is dead!"

"This is no use, everyone is to tired to talk."
anon will now make a check on the guesthouse, while locking all the doors and windows, checking the rooms before locking them.

>>2684
You commence a check of all rooms. You find all doors and windows locked. So you have no need to lock them. You find a small hole inside the closet of Eva's room.

______________________________________________

Bernkastel turns and looks at you. "I think it is time we win this game, don't you Anon?"

"Well, that's what we do here, right?
Mira, Witch of Destruction. What happens now?"

Hours fly by and everyone in the guesthouse begins to feel the powerful grip of hunger. Like a temptation of a great treasure, they can't resist it long. And the group decides to make a run to the kitchen in the main house.

Anon and Rudolf are at the front with Rudolf pushing a cart, Maria is in the middle, with Battler and Shannon bringing up the rear.

Battler carefully watches behind them and to the side readying the gun in his hand to kill anyone who would do harm to the group.

Shannon lets out a sudden scream. You quickly turn around and see two people laying on the ground. George is on top of Shannon with a gun in his hand, the barrel is pointing towards Shannon's head. Battler has his gun pointed at George's head.

"Help! Battler!" Shannon cries out in fright.

Battler growls at George. "Aniki-no George, you you're the culprit, you killed everyone!" Battler shouts as tears pour from his eyes.

Battler tackles George and the two of them begin a vicious fight. Battler manages to get on top and with another punch George falls to the ground. Battler points the barrel of the gun at George.

Suddenly the world around you turns gray, expect for Battler and yourself.

Bernkastel appears behind Battler and replaces the gun in his hand with a bright blue pistol.

"Under special authority, given to me by Lambdadelta. I am within my right to kill the culprit. I extend this authority to the piece I am using, Battler."

Mira glares at Lambdadelta who only laughs. "....Grrr... well it isn't like I can revoke it....."

"That is what you get for trusting me." Lambdadelta laughs as she torments Mira who is shaking.

Bernkastel turns and looks at you. "Well, Anon now is the time of our victory. Do you want to win?"

"Of course I want to win. Can't let that friend of yours take my victory.
Lambdadelta, you claim George is the culprit? pfft that's ridiculous. There are more than one culprit alive to this point. And one of them is indeed your piece, Battler!

>>2689
"Hoh~ Really? *Giggle* Is that so. Then explain all the crimes."

"Mystery? There's even any mystery to solve here?
I already solved the letter thing from a while ago and I will repeat it!
Shannon left the letter on my room, it wasn't her intention to involve me in this massacre!
And about the first twilight ...
Shannon master key was used to lock at least one of the doors of the dinning room!
And someone could have been also stay inside of the dinning room! For example:
George got beaten up and left on the dinning room alongside the corpses. He locked the door from the inside and then he fainted!

>>2691
Bernkastel looks away bored as your blue bullets fly at her.

Just as they are about to hit a red wall appears.

"Shannon did not lock either door to the dining room.
George did not lock either door to the dining room."

However one bullet passed through the wall and pierced Bernkastel, however she showed no sign on pain.

"Who is saying Shannon did it? Oh wait."
Someone locked the doors using Shannon keys, and then returned it to her!
Or even easier, Natsuhi, who had her own death faked was inside of the dinning room. She locked the door from the inside!

>>2693
Bernkastel flinches slightly when the blue bullets hit her.

"I see. And the 2nd twilight?"

"The bathroom. The door to the bathroom was closed and nobody checked it, actually not even the walk-in room was properly investigated.
Occam Razor? Jessica was hidden inside of the room, she killed both Hideyoshi and Eva."

>>2695
"....." Bernkastel huffs. "And the 4th twilight?"

"Something is very wrong here, my new enemy is not opposing too much resistance"
"... Kumasawa was absent for a long time, she could have died before Hideyoshi and Eva.
Anyways, the door was locked yes, but what is the big deal? The door was locked using the servant room key, which incidentally wasn't inside of the crime scene. Or maybe Shannon just locked it.

>>2697
A red wall appeared around Bern as she spoke.

"What makes you think such a key even exists. No such key as exists.
Shannon did not lock the door to the servants room."

"Some opposition? Finally"
anon look at his hand, he still got two tokens, but using one now would be a waste.
"The servant room door was forced, ergo locking it without the use of a key."
anon thinks for a bit and then suggest.
"Oh, this one is good. Kumasawa was killed before Hideyoshi and Eva, the culprit got outside of the servant room and locked it from the outside using Kumasawa master key. Then when Hideyoshi and Eva were dead as well Kumasawa master key got back to the servant room thanks to a hole through both rooms."

>>2699
The blue bullets flew into Bernkastel and send her flying backward.

Blood drips down from her head as she stands up.

"Rosa's death! What about that huh!"

"Why are you fighting me Bernkastel? Isn't Mira and Lambdadelta supposed to be my only opponents?"

>>2701
"Ushiromiya George is the culprit. I want to win this game. I won't allow you to screw it up."

"... Shannon used her master key, yes but. She only pretended to unlock the door, because it wasn't locked. Even worse, they noticed when the culprit went and killed Rosa but did nothing"

>>2703
"When you saw Battler and Shannon pounding on the door, the door was in fact locked."

Using magic, anon change to his emo clothes. Why? just because.
"Shannon, Genji or Gohda master key was used to lock that door, the culprit killed Rosa while Maria was still on the extra door of the bathroom"

>>2705
The new blue bullet flies and pierces Bernkastel through the heart, causing her to fall to her knees.

"....W-w-wh-who-who.... who killed who then..."

"Natsuhi, Jessica or Battler. They are my suspects."

>>2707
The gun in Anon's hand suddenly glows blue and a large bullet is shot from it, without Anon pulling the trigger.

The large bullet bounces and curves around like a Siesta's arrow, before finally curving toward Bernkastel.

Bernkasel shakes her head over and over again, and screams angrily at you. "No, no, no! We are going to lose! Ushiromiya George is the culprit!"

Using his awesome meta-gaming powers, anon make the bullet miss, hitting on the ground somewhere safe.
"No, he is not. George is a red herring left by the GM. Who I am truly worried right now is about Shannon, I think she could be the one who started this"

>>2709
The bullet fly through Bernkastel and she falls to the floor.

The sound of clapping echos through the otherwise silent rose garden.

"... I couldn't stop it.
Are you happy now Lambdadelta? Look what your powers caused!"

>>2710
You look around trying to find where the clapping is coming from.

You suddenly feel a sharp horrid pain. You look down some of your fingers have been cut clean off.

You turn around and see Bernkastel standing up again, she looks

completely uninjured despite her last actions.

In her hand is a large doubled sided scythe, one side is red the other is blue.

"This-this isn't over just yet. I won't let us lose. I don't lose, so not matter what I'm going to make sure we win."

"Shannon's key did not lock the dining room! No one was hiding inside Eva and Hideyoshi's room when you tried to open it.
The hole inside Eva and Hideyoshi's room does not connect to the servant's room.

"Heh, Witches sure love their drama"
"Trolling your comrade? Heh this is low even in witches standards! Also I'm taking back those fingers!
Natsuhi, who had her own death faked was inside of the dinning room. She locked the door from the inside!"

>>2713
Just as you are speaking your blue, suddenly a sharp blade cuts through your side. Blood spills out and you quickly place your hand to your side from the pain.

You look over Bernkastel is not alone. Someone is standing next to her.

>>2714
"You clearly could tell that this was the corpse of a person. Knox's 10th. It is forbidden for a character to disguise themselves as another without any clues. This can apply to Natsuhi's corpse as well, can you provide evidence that his is not in fact Natsuhi's corpse."

"Aghh ... Dlannor? What are you- wait don't tell me this game follows all Knox decalogue!?
... Hints you say? I think I can fulfill that.
Evidence number 1: Aside from Jessica, Natsuhi body who left his head missing or unrecognizable, and that's one of the most popular way to fake a death.
Evidence number 2: With a easy way to escape (the broken window) Natsuhi corpse went missing."

>>2716
"You're second evidence conflicts with your theory."

"How does it conflict, exactly?
The corpse was removed so nobody could notice later than the corpse was fake."

>>2718
Dlanor stays silent.

"You said Natsuhi locked the door. Where was she when you opened the door?"

"Inside of the room, of course. Don't you remember? At that point Mira said than All living people on Rokkenjima are inside the dining room
Where exactly? Hidden or whatever, I dare you to repeat in red than anon did a competent detective work in this game."

Dlanor rushes forward and engages you in battle. Your two swords clash over and over again.

"Knox's 8th. It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented. If Natsuhi was inside that room you should be able to tell us exactly where!"

Dlanor's blue and red blades over power your own and she gets in some quick strikes before jumping backward awaiting your next counter attack.

"How about this?
Natsuhi was hiding inside of the dining cabit, she left Ikuku corpse near of it to make people avoid it!"

>>2723
Your blue bullet is cut in half when Bernkastel swings her scythe through it. It creates a red bullet that cuts through the air and pierces your shoulder.

"No person expect George could have been hiding inside the dining cabinet."

"This is not good ... I need to buy some time to think ...!"
"... Alright then clarify this for me.
In the red All living people on Rokkenjima are inside the dining room , this "dining room" refers to the one in the mansion?"

>>2725
Dlanor rushes at you engages you in combat. You try your best to hold off Dlanor but the difference in skill slowly starts to appear.

You notice out of the corner of your eye Bernkastel rushing at your back. Before you can react she gets up close and delivers a swift kick sending you backwards, and flying straight into a punch from Dlanor.

She laughs as you get up from the ground.

"Oh course it does. It refers to the dining room in the main house, the one you are currently in."

Yesterday was an awfully busy day, today may also get busy. Can't we skip this closed room for now and try the next one? I'm a bit stuck.

>>2727
I told you before in the stream that if you are stuck on one twilight, maybe rather than continuing on that twilight you should try a different one.

We don't have to go in any order, you can jump around as much as you like.

3 days without advancement. I'll let you off the hook for now since you were really busy. But tomorrow I will make a post advancing the battle, if you haven't made a post. (In other words, they will beat you up.)

I planned to not allow this battle to take long, and it is already taking longer than I would like, due to busy schedules.

I will accept being busy as an excuse, however lack of progress and being busy not being an issue, I will not expect. You have the ability to jump around twilights, and even if you are stuck then you can use blues to gain more information by forcing reds.

In short, this 'battle' will continue and go on even if you don't post. So if there is a point where progress is not made for a few days, and it is not because of you being busy, I will make a post advancing the fight, nonetheless.

If you are extremely stuck, however as I said you can change twilights, use blues to get more info in red, or just ask someone for help, (Kinjo and Ozaki aren't around much, but Bern is, and Bern is sharp.) Or we can work out a time extension between posts if you are really that lost, or even a hint or two.

Take this as a warning.

"Alright I will accept it. I'm totally lost right now. She denied the other twilight as well, so lets try to counter with one of these..."
"Alright let's try something different. Eva and Hideyoshi murder.
There's a hole in the room that leads to the outside. The culprit strangled both of them using a string, and then the culprit tied the string to the lock and left the other side of the string outside of the room using the hole.
The chain was probably a fake, the real reason anon couldn't open the door was because the culprit stuck the door from the outside.
And before you try Knox 8th again ...
hints for the trick: the victims were strangled, and a hole was found in the room
hints for the fake chain: anon itself couldn't open the door, but with the help of Battler they did it in the first attempt."

>>2730
"Are you suggesting that the culprit killed them from outside the room? Also, The chain was real, and it was properly set."

"What if I am? the actual evidence is enough to suggest than they were killed with a trap!

>>2732
"Eva and Hideyoshi were not killed by a trap."

"Then the victims were strangled with the use of a device. Then the culprit simply pulled the string out of the room!"

>>2734
"Eva and Hideoyshi were not killed while the culprit was outside of the room.

A red arrow passes right by your knee just barely missing.

"I can't tell exactly how ... but I think this is the correct path!"
"Alright, then it gotta be this!
The culprit used a string to strangle both Hideyoshi and Eva, then he tied one string to the chain and another to the lock of the door and left the other side of these strings outside of the door through the hole!
Then, after leaving the room, he maneuvered with the strings and managed to lock and set the chain of the door from the outside!
... Even if I can't manage to explain how he did such a thing, if you can't deny it we are on a stalemate! And I don't see how George being the culprit solve the closed room in a different way!"

>>2736
"The chain in Eva and Hideyoshi's room can not be set from outside the room."

"...
The culprit wasn't hiding when I tried to open the door, however, he/she hide when we finally broke into the room.

>>2738
"At the time when you tried to open the door to Eva and Hideyoshi's room, only Eva and Hideyoshi were INSIDE."

"The person who set the chain was outside of the room, but the mechanism than allowed him to do it was inside of it!

>>2740
"It is impossible for the chain to be set by anything other than a human."

You hear Bernkastel's voice from behind you. You manage to duck just in time to avoid getting your head torn off by Bernkastel's scythe.

Your torn hat falls to the ground, though you have bigger worries than that at the moment.

As anon move away from Bernkastel and pick up the rests of his hat, anon replies
"My hat!! How dare you!
Take this! The culprit, "Jessica" escaped from the closed room when I got distracted with Battler, she removed the chain lock and stuck it from the outside with her ribbon!

"At the time when you tried to open the door to Eva and Hideyoshi's room, only Eva and Hideyoshi were inside.

It is impossible for the chain to be set by anything other than a human.

The chain in Eva and Hideyoshi's room can not be set from outside the room

Since when is a ribbon, a human? And the red forbids the chain from being able to be set from outside the room, which Jessica would be."

"Alright, try to deny it! At least one person has committed suicide in Rokkenjima!"

>>2744
You see Bernkastel's and Dlanor's faces twist with utter delight.

You feel a sharp pain in your chest, you look down a sword has been pierced through your chest.

You feel the presence of someone behind, it appears someone else is against you.

You glance over your shoulder to try and see who stabbed you.

"Van Dine's 18th. The crime must never turn out to be an accident or a suicide."

>>2746
Will pulls his sword out from your chest and takes a step back to avoid getting hit by retaliation.

Status
Anon:-27HP (Bloodied)
Will: ?HP
Dlanor: ?HP
Bern: ?HP

Taking his hand to the place where the sword stabbed him, anon can taste his own blood.
With some problem, he take his composure again and reclaim to the witch.
At the time when anon and Battler took down the door to Eva room the lock was not properly set. Using the time anon was distracted the culprit escaped and stuck the chain (without setting it) from the outside.

"At the time when you and Battler broke down the door, the chain was still set. Until you broke it."

anon staggers and take one of the Witch tokens, even if they are fighting they still should hold some magical power, right?
So he took one in his right hand, close his eyes and print a message in his mind.
"Repeat it in red! Natsuhi faked her own dead in the first twilight! She was hidding in the dinning room when anon and the others found the first twilight corpses!"

>>2750
Your right hand begins to glow a bright white. You open your fist and a white light shoots out into the sky. You notice the token vanished.

A ball made of white flies down from the sky and stops next to you. A bright flash causes you to go blind for a second.

When you open your eyes you see Natsuhi standing where the ball was.

"I did not fake my death. I was killed on the first twilight. My corpse is in fact the one you found in the dining room."

After she says this she fades away like a ghost.

Dlanor rushes at you while you are preoccupied with Natsuhi. She slashes her sword into you.

"Neither Shannon's, Genji's nor Gohda's master key was used to lock the bathroom door."

___________________________________

And the free red I promised, in return for the mistake. The one you kind of wanted.

The corpse you saw in the boiler room was in fact Jessica's corpse.

And anon counters her with the next sentence
"The key that anon found with Kumasawa corpse was not the real one! Hints about it? I can think of two. First one: Genji took Kumasawa key in the last night, he could have forged a fake one during this time.
Second one: The key was left inside of the room alongside a mockey message, if nobody noticed it wasn't the real key it gives the appareace of a locked room."
Then, anon glances to his new enemy
"Even if some Van Dine rules applies to this murder, not all of them are effective! A good example is Van Dine number 12"

>>2754
You're blue causes Dlanor to back off, though she cuts it in two with her sword.

"The key that you found with Kumasawa's corpse was the real one."

Your second shot targets the target you are attempting to hit.

The blue bullet pierces Will in the the shoulder. Will falters slightly, and clutches his injured shoulder as blood pours out.

The situation grows bad, Will won't get defeated with a single hit, and the other two seem perfectly fine. Fortunatelly meta-anon remembers a part of his past. Those are his memories of his time in Canada, it was awful! However he remind a man from that place, that man was a doctor, a really bad doctor but it was the averate thing in such a country. Why anon remember such a weird thing in this precise moment? Well who knows, anon head hurts, maybe he was never in canada.
"... When Jessica found the keys inside of the dinning room she just pretended to find them all, she was holding one of the keys with her from the start!

>>2759
Bernkasel laughs from behind you, you turn around just in time to see the her scythe, but you don't have enough time to dodge it full. The scythe clipped part of one of your eyes.

The pain was something unbelievable. And now it was starting to get hard for you to see straight.

"When Jessica entered the dining room with everyone else, she had no keys on her."

"What a bitch! I have no idea how she did it, but she cut my eye!..."
anon use his left hand to cover his fresh wound, trying to endure the pain.
"Alright witch, I'm done with you.
Try to deny this! The last time the doors of the dinning room were closed before anon finding the corpses of the first twilight victims, was done from the outside and using a master key!"

>>2761
Your blade in your hand turns red and you slice Bernkastel across the chest. A blotch of red forms on her chest, but see seems to pay it no mind.

"That one passed, could be the witch bluffing again?"
"My own key! My own key was used to lock the door of the dinning room. At some point anon lost his master key, and it was used to lock the doors from the outside, then and the next day Shannon return it to me along with the letter!

You are too focused on Bernkastel that you don't notice Will rush up behind you. He grabs your arm and twists it painfully behind your back.

"Your key not used to lock the dining room."

He places his sword just below your neck, he is going to slice your throat.

Attempting to end Will grab, anon use his blade against him.
"Then it was Genji master key! It was hinted in the magic scene!"

>>2767
;_;

>>2767
Will releases you to avoid your attempted strike. Before you can try to go after him fully, you find your blade locked against Dlanor's.

"Your point being? That doesn't explain the closed room. Genji's key was found in the ROOM."

"The door was locked from the outside using Genji-san key, then it was returned to the room through a window!"

>>2770
Dlanor and Will are about to rush at you, but they stop when Bernkastel raises her hand into the air.

"Alright, I'll bite. How did they manage that?"

"Fat chance, but I gotta try it ..."
"The culprit just enter the room through a window and left the key inside of it! George who was hidding inside was forced to close a lock the door, being blackmailed with the life of his parents!"

>>2772
"George did not lock any of the windows in the dining room."

A red spike appears as Bernkastel speaks. The spike flies through the air at such a speed, that you completely lose it.

Until you feel it stab you through the chest and pierce through the other side of you.

anon falls to the ground and try to remove the red blade from his chest... it's useless.
The main character make an effort to stand up, and it wasn't easy. All of the money it's on the witch, nobody wanna bet on the loser. It was almost as bad as when he first meet the Canadian. He also had a stake in his chest and a witch cackling in from of him, or maybe anon is just mixing-up a bad dream. Anyways the poor Canadian in a pinch gave anon an idea.
"... I got it. It was in front of me all this time but I was searching for holes in the windows ... how stupid of me. The master key that was used to lock the dinning room returned to it thanks to the clock. The clock have a mechanism that allows it to conduct a small object from the outside to the inside of the dinning room! It was used earlier with Kumasawa key to test it!"

A large blue bullet appears in the air while you speak, once you finish speaking the bullet flies straight at Will, who blocks in with his sword.

However the bullet doesn't shatter, but Will continues to hold it back. It seems the theory isn't fully correct, but it isn't completely false.

"He can't deny it! It's time to strike again!"
As anon say this, another blade borns from his off-hand, and then he use both of them to attack Will.
"Genji master key entered the dinning room the same way Kumasawa master key did the day earlier! in other words ... There's a way out of the room hidden because of the clock, and it's possible to get something inside of the dinning room through that passage, Genji master key was introduced that way into the room."

>>2776
Dlanor however steps in your way protecting Will.

"Knox's 3rd. It is forbidden for hidden passages to exist.
Knox's 8th. It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented.
Can you fix your theory so it fits with these POINTS?"

"I won't let you escape! For the posibility of the clock being able to get an object from the outside to the inside, it was hinted when anon watched Kumasawa key appear from nowhere!"
Then, evading Dlannor blades, anon attacks Will again!
"The key was insert using the back door from the clock! You know, the part that gets open when the clock need to be "fixed" Since the gear mechanism of the clock it's kinda big this back door of the clock it's actually outside of the dinning room, for easier maintance!
... How is this even hinted at? Well I see two points. When Mira appears on the room, the wind cause to furniture to fall, yet it doesnt mention the clock falling (this being caused because the clock occupies a part of the wall itself), and when Genji changed the clock time to recover Kumasawa key, it would be easier to remove it from the door to take the key, but he did not because it was not possible."

>>2778
The key never entered the clock.

The key never exited the clock.

The walls did not move.

The room did not move.

The walls are not made of legos.

The walls are not made of Jell-o.

The key did not pass through a mario like pipe.

The key did not pass through a hole in the hall.

Solution: The key went through the vent on the ceiling. One end of the string was tied around the wolf's neck, then the other end was taped to the key. As time went on, the wolf kept making its rounds over and over again each time pulling the key further along. The tape snapped off, and the string and tape wound up around the wolf, remaining hidden inside the clock.

Feeling no weight in his blade, anon take a different angle to attack Will. Then he tries again with a very ambigue theory, hoping nobody complains.
"The ventilation! the key entered the dinning room throught a ventilation!
How it reached the floor well I'm not sure yet, but the mention of a strong wind hints the ventilation of the room!"

>>2780
The blue bullet Will is trying to hold back suddenly shatters with an explosion. The blue shards pierce Will from head to toe as he is knocked prone.

You rush forward and in a flurry of blades uses both your swords to cut Will's chest over and over again.

Will falls to his knees coughing up blood, as blood streams down his face from the blue shards impaled in his skin.

It appears the Will is just baring staying conscious.

Now is your chance to finish Will off if you want to. To kill him or not to kill him, the choice is yours.

"Stop, innocent don't have to die just because of a cruel game"
anon barely stop from giving Will a lethal hit, make both of his blade dissapear and take a breath.
"Alright, the next twilight."

>>2782
"Go ahead. You just got lucky with the first twilight. You won't get another. Luck will only get you so far."

Still feeling wounded by the fierce battle, anon attempts a simple trick for his first counter attack
"Alright, let's try something basic first.
Anyone holding Genji, Gohda or Shannon master key could have killed Kumasawa! Her dead could have actually happened before the second twilight!"

>>2784
"Neither Shannon's, Gohda's nor Genji's key was last used to lock the servant's room."

>>2784
"You say that Kumasawa was killed before Eva and Hideyoshi. Knox's 8th. It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented. Can you provide any clues to back up this CLAIM!"

"Alright, how about this?
The culprit was still inside of the room when we entered the servant room. He waited for a chance and he got out of the room while we were distracted!"
anon take a look to Dlannor and smirk
"It was hinted with the mess on the room, the culprit left a blood message with paper pieces all over the room, it caused for everyone to get their attention on the murder, which the culprit used to escape without anyone noticing!"

>>2790
"The culprit was not hiding in the room when you and the others entered and found Kumasawa's corpse."

Looking his new theory destroyed as well, anon return to his previous idea, replying to Dlannor red.
"Hints for Kumasawa diying first than Hideyoshi and Eva? Well it's not that hard.
Kumasawa did leave before everyone else from the parlor, and we didn't know about her aside from when Shannon told me she was in the bathroom, a good excuse for someone captured or already dead."

>>2792
"Kumasawa was alive at the time Eva and Hideyoshi were killed."

"She was alive, after all? I wonder what exactly happened to her when she was sent to prepare the tea."
anon then stares at Dlannor and shout at her.
"You, try to deny this! Kumasawa master key was used to lock the servants room! How you say? Well it's easy: The door locked from the outside using the key, and then window was removed so the key could get inside of the room again!
The hint it's quite subtle, apparently the key was found near to the window, alongside some other kitchen stuff. So to avoid making a mess getting inside from the windows the key was just tossed inside.

>>2904
"None of the windows in the servant's room were removed during this game."

Dlanor smashes your blue shot to pieces, but she isn't finished a fierce expression appears on her face as she charges forward at you.

"Kumasawa's master key was not used to lock the servant's ROOM!"

She says as she slashes you, causing your vision to go red.

Red. Everything looks red now.
anon loses his cool and start to notice how is body cannot react very well.
All this red make him remember of his old friend Mejico, he fiercely fighted among others against the evil Mach in a battle full of chaos and dissaster. More than anything, he remember a sentence in particular from him, "If a trick works once, it will work twice", unfortunally that was just some seconds before the purple witch started cackling like a broken recorder, spinning all over the screen and slashing the sympatethic evil Mach.
Anyways, anon recovers from the last hit, and then a single tear fall from his right eye.
"... I understand it now, I'm sorry than I failed to save you Kumasawa. You probably lived a hell these days...
anon glares at the grinning face of Dlannor and states:
Kumasawa was forced to kill herself. She was getting blackmailed by telephone. Nanjo the doctor was blackmailing her with the life of her son. Nanjo is working with the one of the culprits, the same one who killed Maria.

>>2906
"Kumasawa did not kill herself."
_________________________________________

And here is a freebie to help you out.

Kumasawa was not being blackmailed.

"When I suggested the use of the servant room key you simply denied it's existance. However another key exist capable of locking the servant room aside from the five master keys!"

>>2913
"Looking for loop holes I see. I'll tell you right now, that is a completely waste of time."

Five crystal like red spikes appear in the air around Bernkastel. Your blue bullet hits one of the spikes but it shatters like glass.

"The only keys capable of locking the servants room are the 5 master keys."

Still grasping for another success, anon looks at Dlannor and say:
"You told me than Eva and Hideoyshi were not killed while the culprit was outside of the room, however Only one of them was killed while the culprit was inside of the room! Hideyoshi died first, then the culprit had a fight with Eva and she managed the get the culprit out of the room, however the culprit killed Eva using a pulley mechanism from the outside of the room using the small hole in the wall!

As you are talking, Bernkastel snaps her fingers and the red spikes fly toward you.

Your blue turns into a shield protecting you.

It is impossible for Eva or Hideyoshi to get killed while their killer is outside of the same room as them.

Your shield shatters and the spikes pierce into you.

1 stabs you in your left shoulder and shatters the bones in your shoulder and pierces out the other side.

1 in your right shoulder.

1 in your left knee.

1 in your right knee.

And the last one impales you in the chest.

You grit your teeth during the immense pain and bit your bit in agony. You bit down so heavily that a stream of blood runs down your chin.

You can barely even feel your arms and legs. Is this the end, you begin to wonder.

First than nothing, I want to apologize for being so late today, it could not be helped

"Am I diying? This is a lot more painful than I expected ... This damn Witch is playing with me, I don't see any way George could be the culprit, he's getting framed by Shannon.
I suspected Battler, but I don't think he's a culprit anymore, however her bride wants his father dead, apparently they don't approve Battler relationship with Shannon, also getting Kyrie out of the island was a clever move. That leaves Rudolf alone and he become an easy prey.
For the second culprit, my theory is Rosa.
Rudolf probably found Rosa report card, and showed it to their mom. So maybe Rosa blame him for Beatrice dead.
Furthermore I got a feeling about Rosa boyfriend, if he endured Rosa attack to end he probably was being honest, however that leaves his friends in a bad place. Rudolf and Krauss could have been some of his friends, and did it as some nasty bullying against her little sister.
And for the third culprit ... I will accept than I am a bit lost. My bet is on Jessica. Even if she died kinda early in the game, she hesitated a lot before leaving the parlor for the first time, as if she was feeling guilty for something was going to do. From Jessica comments, she believe Eva hates her and her family, so it wouldn't be weird for her to blame Eva for her parents death. She maybe also suspected Rudolf and intended to kill him."
anon stand up, maybe for the last time, some tears fall from his weary face. He is bloodied, and have cuts everywhere around his body. So he gathers all of his remain might and prepare for a massive attack, if anything was good enough for a hit then he would continue attacking, until his body fails to react.

"Listen well, you bitch. Because I won't repeat any of this!"
As anon say this, both of his blades appear again and he start a massive attack against his opponents
"Regarding Kumasawa murder!
There is more than one servant's room!
It's possible to lock the servant room without using a key!
The culprit left the servant room before everyone noticed about the corpse!
The window inside the servant room was never removed! The glass was completely broken and another one was placed!
One of the servants do not own a master key! So when you refeer to the "5 master keys" you are not talking about Shannon, Gohda, Kumasawa, Genji and anon master key!


Regarding Eva and Hideyoshi murder!
The closet or the bathroom counts as a different room! Or maybe they do connect to another room!
The hinges or another part of the door was half-removed, but the chain was still set! When the culprit escaped from the room he fixed it back again!
A passway to another room exists behind of the mirror in Eva's room! It was slighty hinted during the magic scene!
The small hole inside of the room connects with another room. Because of this, this extra room is also considered Eva and Hideyoshi room.

Also ... Small bombs! Small bombs were implanted in the food! So at the 12 pm everyone was already dead! When the seagulls cry there shall be nobody alive! "

>>3153
There is only 1 servant's room in the guesthouse.
That is correct, the door can be locked from the inside without a key. But not from the outside.
At the time when you and the others were outside the door just before finding Kumasawa's corpse, the culprit was not inside the room.
None of the windows in the servant's room were broken.
The only possible key that could have locked the servant's room was Kumasawa's key.

The closet and bathroom are still apart of Eva and Hideyoshi's room.
The door was not half-removed.
The only way for a human to enter or exit the room is through one of the windows or the door.
That room is not considered Eva and Hideyoshi's room.

Small bombs were not implanted in food.

Anon HP -49 (Dying)

You have 1 blue remaining.

wait what
>"Kumasawa's master key was not used to lock the servant's ROOM!"
>The only possible key that could have locked the servant's room was Kumasawa's key.

>>3216
Problem?

So, that's as saying "the door wasn't locked with a key", however prepare for logic error time.

>>3221
I'll even repeat that for you.

The servant's room was not locked with a key.

>>3222
So that's another murder in which the culprit dissapear from the crime scene ... I think I'm losing my will to continue

>>3223
Well if you are surrendering, we can just jump to the part where you die.

>>3224
not yet, I still haven't used my last token, however I'm quite tired and I still work to do, so I expect to try this later

>>3225
Ok

Here is a hint of my own feel free to look at it, or not look at it if you want.

When looking at books ones that stand out normally, are _____ or are _____, when _____ to others.

>>3226
Each blank is a different word.

All of them start with a different letter.

Mira's full title (MWoD) has all of those letters.

My full title (BWR) only has 1 of those letters.

D E F M N U

When looking at books ones that stand out normally, are new or are mainstream, when compared to others.

Missed, everything missed.
"Terrible, you are terrible.
If you are so sure of your George theory then you will have no problem clarifying this simple point: For someone to be considered inside of a room he has to be completely inside of it.

>>3248
For someone to be inside of a room, that person has to be completely inside the room.

"Alright, then how about something simple? Can you define what a "room" is? And what it includes "Eva and Hideyoshi room"?"

>>3250
"Room - A Space that can be occupied or where something can be done, esp. viewed in terms of whether there is enough.

Eva and Hideyoshi's room includes their bedroom area, sitting area, bathroom, and closet."

>>3251

>>3252

>>3253

Reviewing the past red, and checking the diagrams that magically appeared in his hands, anon notice a completely fatal blind spot he did not try before. How could this happen? Not even his canadian friend noticed before, and he's quite keen. Yes, that guy actually exists.
"I could spend my last token in this ... but I wouldn't have a chance in the other twilights. Prepare yourself Bernkastel! The culprit killed the victims inside of the room. Then he set the chain and leave a side of a string attached to a window he used to leave the room. Then, from a room adyacent to Eva's room and where the the hole in the closet connects the culprit pulled the other side of the string and used it to lock the window from the outside!

>>3255
Your blue bullet pierces Bernkastel in the chest. The red liquid known as blood begins to pour out.

"Congratulations, you solved the 2nd twilight. But there is still plenty of fog covering the rest of the game."

"You did dodge this question a while ago, so I want you to say it in red! "The only master keys in Rokkenjima are Gohda key, Kumasawa key, Shannon key, Genji key and anon key! And they did never change their names during the game!" "

>>3257
"The only master keys in Rokkenjima are Gohda's key, Kumasawa's key, Shannon's key, Genji's key and anon's key! And they did never change their names during the game!"

>>3256
Bernkastel someone magically can tell Anon's thoughts for this brief second.

"Try this red truth on for size."

She cackles.

"It is impossible for a living Jessica to leave the guesthouse after Eva's death."

"And how is that a problem? Can you repeat in red than Jessica died before Eva?"

>>3260
"It is impossible for a living Jessica to leave the guesthouse after the 1st twilight."

"Well, then someone had to carry her corpse right? Any problem with that?"

>>3262
"If you are so sure of that, why not say it in blue."

>>3263
If you are so sure why don't YOU repeat it in red?

>>3264
"I have no reason to reply in red, unless you use blue."

"What a lack of sense of sportmanship!"
"... Oh really? I thought we were trying to win against those two, however you seem to take this way too seriously.
Anyways at this point I have solved the two main twilights of this game, without needing having George as a culprit.
So I refuse to explain to you any other mystery until you can explain why could only George have done them! "

>>3267
Something unexpected happens right before your eyes.

It causes you to blink, just to double check if it is happening.

Bernkastel is smiling at you. Not a witch like smirk, and smile.

"Well done."

>>3268
"You passed wonderfully. I was right to believe you had potential. Good work. So I predict you understand who the real culprits are then."

"... I have two suspects, however I do not know about the third one"

>>3270
Bernkastel frowns, it appears she is disappointed.

"Well, who do you think the culprits are?"

"Shannon and Rosa, Shannon seems quite guilty from the story itself, but my theory about Rosa is a bit more wild and is not that strong.
About the third culprit, I got a feeling than he/she could have died in the first twilight"

>>3272
"And the motives?"

Bernkastel pauses. "I am just a helper in this game. So even if I know the answer, all I can do is assist you and try to point you in the right direction without being completely obvious. Only the player can challenge the GM to win."

"A helper? Witches sure take their jobs quite seriously ... I am barely alive right now".
"Shannon probably was in love with Battler for a long time, but didn't had the courage to tell him. From Gohda talk we know a female servant suddenly dissapeared saying. That was probably the old Yasu before becoming the Shannon we know. They kept their relationship as a "secret" but because of the problems with George, Battler parents knew of it, and they didn't approve it.
The motive for the murder is mixed. Battler family would never allow them to marry, they maybe even threatened Shannon.
Also, the letter talks about a sin. I think Shannon believe Asumu death is Rudolf fault, and want to kill him for the pain her dead caused to Battler".

Bernkastel walks up to you.

"I will stall them for now."

She whispers to you, before snapping her fingers.

Before you can even react you feel your body being warped away.
