Phanganronpa 2: Meet & Grief
[THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS THREAD, "LOVE AFFAIR, LOVE DESPAIR", WHICH WAS A CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST THREAD.] --- [Nobidy, Elm, Setsuna and Hana. All four of them were dead. There were only 8 remaining. Monokuma's morning announcement was heard once more.] "It's 8 AM, and I have the pleasure to announce you that you can now access a new floor! Many fun things await you there!"
Geoff would go to explore the new floor, checking out every room he could, before entering his lab to check it out, locking the door behind him.
[Geoff found that his lab was just one long... Closet. With a lot of useless stuff in it.]
Huh. New floor. I wonder wha- Grk! *Jack's eye twitches as he spies a certain detail on the map layout before heading downstairs and vanishing into one of the labs.* Stupid fuckin bear...
"Awesome!~" Geoff would shout out, loving his room. He would head out of it, and try to check out the closed room.
[Geoff finds that the closed room is guarded by machine guns.]
Geoff would fucking leave.
[Smart fucking decision, punk]
Leo went to the kitchen, to cook something to cheer himself up.
[A small pink bear appears.] "Hey guys, welcome to the third floor! you all have your own map, so i won't bother with a tour. i'm the second of daddy's kids, Monovia! enjoy your killings!" [Monovia disappears.]
Gazette wakes up in Classroom 1-3 and made her way to the cafeteria, hoping to run into Mitsuko
Noticing Gazette, Leo turned on all his charm and put it into two words, "Hey Gazette;)"
Where Geoff fucked off in particular was the Kitchen, he would note Leo and Gazette, Giving the former the cold shoulder and grabbing some of whatever he was cooking, before grabbing a knife and giving Gazette a nod. "How you holding up?"
"Hey, give that back!" Leo snapped, stepping away from Geoff, "That's my eggs Benedict!"
(edited by Leo_Orava)
Geoff would pop it in his mouth "Are you sure?" he would say as he chewed
Gazette yawns and waves at Leo while heading into the kitchen Hey... there's a new floor Gazette walks out with breakfast and looks at Geoff Terribly..but manageable... She eats
Shoji gets his lazy ass out of bed and goes to the cafeteria, he noticed Gazette there and was tempted to try and comfort her but stayed quiet because he didn’t know how
"What the hell, man?" Leo shoves Geoff.
Geoff would stumble back into the counter. "The fuck!" he would say, swallowing the egg, before shoving Leo back.
Gazette continues to eat silently and sigh looking at Geoff and Leo You guys really think you should fight because of an egg!?!?!! Gazette rubs her temples and writes in her notepad, looking at the map on her pad
(edited by Gazette_Luizen)
"It's not about the egg, it's about mr asshat shoving me."
“I feel like it’s also about the egg, admit it”
Gazette points at Shoji I Agree Gazette stretches and looks at them Besides they're more important things than eggs to worry about
[Jin saw the stuff going on with Geoff and Leo, and decided to go to the 3rd floor.] "Ultimate 'Conman', hmmm? I wonder who it could be!"
"Screw this." Leo walks somewhere (I don't even), probably to check the new floor.
(edited by Leo_Orava)
"Yeah that's what I thought bitch." Geoff would say after Leo was gone, before heading to the library himself.
Shoji looks over to Gazette “So uhhh... how have you been doing? I know that last trial couldn’t have been easy for you”
Gazette sighs No trial been easy for me...none of the three i was in... Gazette gets up I'm checking out the 3rd floor, you can follow me if you want.
“I see... well it’s not like I have anything better to do” Shoji gets up and follows Gazette
Gazette walks over to the Ultimate Traveler's Lab to test if she could open them
[Jin goes to the Ultimate Conman's lab to see how much incriminating stuff he can find there.]
[Gazette finds that she cannot open the door to the Ultimate Traveler's lab. Jin sees that the Ultimate Conman's lab is oh okay you british fuck]
(edited by MonoShadow)
*Jin would find the lab door locked. Behind him, Jack clears his throat* Sorry, sport. Seems this lab is locked down. Hana's is the same. Seems it was meant for someone who never showed up to the party
Gazette slams her fist into the door before letting out some curses under her breath I'm checking the pool next.. Gazette moves to the pool
Leo watched Gazette and from the pool doorway, quietly writing down "ideas".
Shoji continues to follow Gazette around the floor “So uhh... are you looking for anything specific?”
Leo tries hiding behind the door.
(edited by Leo_Orava)
[Gazette finds that the pool is... A pool.]
Gazette notes the pool pooly orientation within the pool building seeing how it was shaped as a pool with pool items such as the pool I'm looking to get away.... and She looks at Shoji Escape
“I’m pretty sure you won’t find any escape... especially on the third floor of all places. I want to get out as badly as you do but the mastermind is clearly smarter than to leave an escape just open for us”
[Jin punches Jack in the gut and opens the door.]
Gazette looks over at him Thinking like that you'll never escape Especially if you think that because all floors are separate....i have...a......plan. Gazette sighs and steps out to the Ultimate Out-Boxer's Lab
*The door is still locked* Well now. That was uncalled for.
"Oh, it's locked. Be right back then." [Jin goes to his lab to do his thing.]
(edited by Masato_Jin)
[Gazette sees that Oliver's lab contains a boxing ring, and workout equipment. And... scrap metal?]
Keep tryin son. Rooms not one a ours so the thing ain't budgin. Thems the rules.
Shoji continues to follow Gaz around “So ... would you mind telling me what that plan is?”
Leo follows, at a distance, still hoping not to be seen.
Gazette looks at Shoji Not yet... not...here... She examines the scrap metal
[It's... Definitely scrap metal. That's for sure.]
“I ... see ... okay so, is there any way that I can help?”
Gazette took the scrap metal and thought to herself to what to do Hey, do you know what's in the Ultimate Procrastinator's Lab?
[Monovia appears in front of Jack, as Jin is walking away.] "Well of course you can't go in the labs of the dead. That'd just be rude and disrespectful to them! And also..." [Monovia turns and screams toward Jin.] "No violence allowed! I don't like it one bit! Except murder of course, but aside from that, keep it to a minimum!"
(edited by Monovia)
“No I don’t know, why do you ask?”
[Monodoro appears right after Monovia.] "But Sis, I thought the Ultimate Conman was still alive?"
[Monovia jumps at Monodoro's appearance.] "Are they? Huh. Well, I wonder who it could be? I guess we'll never know..." "And don't scare me like that! Daddy already told you to stop that too!"
"Huh? Daddy's alive?"
The hell are you two bots ramblin on about now? That lab don't open so naturally this "Ultimate Conman" don't exist no more. That's simple logic, right bots?
"Hmmm... Maybe you're right! Or maybe you're wrong! Upupupu! Someone who's alive definitely knows..."
Leo continued following, still.
Then lets head over she kept thinking to herself as she makes her way to the Ultimate Procrastinator's Lab
[What do they see Gear]
[Your ass in a picture frame a lot of stuff piled on top of more stuff]
[Jin comes back out of his lab and in front of the Ultimate Conman's with a drill.] "This is gonna take a while. Don't try and stop me, Lucky." [Jin drilled the door's lock.]
[An arm came out of the ceiling and grabbed Jin.]
"Well fuck you too"
Shoji continues to follow Gazette “Are you actually going to tell me what you’re doing?”
Hey. I didn't stop you. Sides all that would've done was warp the lock. That door would then remained locked permanently, meanin you'd have ta break the door down to see what's inside.
[Monovia turns to Jin.] "No! You'll make Daddy angry if you try to wreck school property! Remember what happened to that poor girl Jun... Jun... whatever! You'll be punished!"
[Monokuma's voice yada yada yada] "It is now 10 PM, the Gym, Cafeteria and Storage Room are closed, and the pool is off limits. Go to your rooms."
Geoff did not leave the library
Leo went to the library, for totally legitimate writing!
[Monokuma blah blah blah kill each other] "It is now 8 AM. And guess what time it also is? Iiiiiit's Motive Time! You see the Closed Room on your Map? Well, take a glance at it again!" [The "Closed" room was now labeled "Transfer Student's Room".] "This is your next motive! If you manage to kill the Transfer Student, you get to exit the Killing Game without a trial! Of course, getting to him won't be easy, as his room is well-defended!"
Geoff would exit the library, hurrying up to the third floor to check out the transfer student's room
[Jin decided to go check what the hell that was about.]
Gazette looks at Shoji ....Not yet....not now.... Gazette waves Shoji bye after hearing the nighttime announcement and goes to Classroom 1-3
Shoji gives up on trying to understand Gazette for now and decides to head head to head over to the transfer student’s room to see what Monokuma was talking about
Leo goes to classroom 1-3, to get something.
Geoff headed down to the kitchen, hoping to find anything he could grab to eat
*Jack stands outside the Ultimate Conman's lab again. He looks at the Transfer Student's room with a look of curiosity.*
[Monokuma's voice echoes through the you know the goddamn drill] "It is now 10 PM! The Gym, Storage Room, Cafeteria, Pool, and Transfer Student's Room are closed off to all other students! It is forbidden to sleep if it's outside your room! G'night!"
“Damn, it feels like time moved three times as fast today, well I guess I should get to sleep” Shoji goes back to his room and sleeps
Geoff would head to his room and lock the door behind him
Leo went to bed, locking the door behind him.
"Ooo..ghost noises! Er maybe I'm alive? Or maybe not, haha. I mean, I don't remember my execution or death but oooooooooooooooo!"
"We're back to haunt you because the ghost realm is boring! OOOOooooOOOOoooH!" Elm's ghost floats around in a concerning manner.
"None of this occult stuff in this school!" [Monodoro threw salt at Hana and Elm's ghosts. And hit Monovia instead.]
(edited by Monokubs)
Setsuna floats through the ceiling with a sigh, flicking a bit of hair out of her face "Guys, come on, you're better than this. Stop trying to scare the kids."
"Oof, rather rude. I was already dead from the start."
[Monovia is sent flying.] "Curse you Monodorooooo!" [Monovia disappears.]
"I'd call that a home run."
"I heard there is a transfer student, I hope they will be ok. I mean, I just hope the others wouldn't believe the mastermind's lies."
"I'm still laughing over your trial. I was not expecting that betrayal. And even if there is a transfer student, they'd have to be special in some way if it warrants a lack of a trial."
"Veeeery special indeed! Upupupupu..." [Monokuma pulled out a gun.] "Now go the fuck back to your graves."
"I mean, I don't think a gun would do much to a ghost."
"I.. Er.. Anyways, the transfer student must be super important in someway, right? And what graves? We don't have any."
(edited by Hana_Fujita)
"Huh. You're right. We don't have any graves, we weren't buried. I got flattened, and Hana blew up. I have no idea what you did with Set's and Nobidy's bodies though."
well Nobidy blew up too that much is obvious. As for me, I fed Petey
"Hmm.. I guess we can be here at night then? I wish to see other people's labs but I can't physically."
"Yeah, but the difference between Hana's 'blowing up' and Nobidy's 'blowing up' is that Hana blew up in a plane crash, while Nobidy got charred by a homemade pipe bomb. Though I think you and Nobidy both ended up losing your face." Elm looks around. "I wonder what my lab is like?"
(edited by ElmTully)
"Same here, curiosity is killing me! Oh wait, haha.."
This ghost pun has been brought in part to you by Elm Tully's Ghost Zone. If you're dead, come here instead! "I guess we'll never know. Or will we...?"
"If we are ghosts then we can go through walls, right? In this case, we will be able to see what is in our labs."
"And Monokuma's machine guns can't stop us either."
"Though other stuff will be a problem. I would say more, but the mastermind will get ideas."
"Hmm. The mastermind, huh? They're probably super bored after watching how lame chapter 2 was." Elm stops for a second. "Wait, chapter 2? What am I talking about?"
"if they are bored from that then.. The others are in trouble for sure. No one trusts another after... Well, ah... "
"It's not my fault, right? Eh, it probably is. I made friends with everybody and then I betrayed them. But it's not like I could've just sat still, waiting for someone to kill me." Elm sighs.
(edited by ElmTully)
"....You know the mastermind, right? Why did you participate in this..?"
"Personally? No way. I do know who they are though. And the reason I joined? Because it sounded fun. And plus, it's been a while since I've been able to chat with people my age, living relatively normal lives. I joined because the mastermind's ideals aligned with mine. Though theirs was much more extreme, if that puts it in perspective for you."
Gazette sat alone in Classroom 1-3, fiddling over her notes and thinking to herself. She looked at one table with her notes all spread around. She walked over to it and smiled. She wasn't planning on sleeping tonight, so she could stay up as long as she wants to craft her plan
"Interesting, I guess I get it."
"What about you? Were you planning one travelling the world forever, leaving your family and the rest of your life behind? If so, I wouldn't call you the Ultimate Traveller, I'd say you're more like an Ultimate Coward. Running away from your mother's past for the rest of your life? You are quite a petty person."
"Yeah I am that, though I'd be lying if I didn't want an adventure. It was rather fun, well except for the bad parts. I do admit I miss her, I did foolish things in the end."
(edited by Hana_Fujita)
"Heh. At least you know. If you make it out of here alive-" Elm begins laughing. "That was unintentional. I guess it's a bit too late to apologize to her, huh? But maybe in another life. The only travelling I really did was away from my pursuers. They never caught me in the end, thanks to our friend the mastermind. I gotta say, if I ever went home, I wonder if my family would recognize me?"
"God I did stupid shit.. I really am an idiot. To be honest after America, I was going to visit my brother, mother, and my father. I should have visited earlier. If we are somehow alive, I would go home first. After all, I was an idiot thirteen year-old. Three years have pasted..."
(edited by Hana_Fujita)
Elms chuckles. "You know, you and I are more alike than I originally thought. We were both raised by serial killers, we both ran away in some way, and we both wish we could go back. The crucial difference between me and you though..." Elm sighs. "Is that you still can."
"I guess we are, huh? I guess I can see why you can't go back.. But maybe you can. Just in another identity of course. We had to do that a lot in the past."
"What kind of family would accept and international terrorist with tens of thousands of kills back into their life? Not mine. They were tolerant, but no one is that tolerant." Elm tears up. "I hope they can live peacefully."
Elm felt His and Hana bond grow closer Give gift? ->Yes ->No
"I hope they will too. But remember, I believe they truly loved you."
"Which just makes a betrayal like that much more painful. But I think you're right. I'm as much of a coward as you. I'm afraid to see them, to hear what they think, because I know it won't be good. I'm afraid because I know that they might forgive me."
"I know I say this a lot but, if somehow we aren't dead, I would like to know more about everyone. Hell, even Jin and Jack. "
"Heh. I'd be interested in finding out what shaped such assholes. Yeah, I know I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, but I wouldn't consider myself to be an asshole. I'm nice to people. But I kill them. It's nothing personal, it's just how it is."
(edited by ElmTully)
"Yeah, I wonder what happened to them..?"
"We're spectators, so all we can do is watch and see what happens to everybody. I hope the next trial is more interesting than the last."
"...It is going to continue huh? I have to hope they won't do it but... I think they will sadly."
"Well I think that's enough appearing tonight, I'm gonna go. Ooooooooooooooooo. Ghost noisessss!"
[An announcement was heard, but it was different than usual.] "Uh... Testing, testing... Can you guys hear me? It's Monovia! Daddy's too tired to make the announcement, so he tasked me with it! It's now 8am! Wake up guys, and get to killing! And ghosts, go away!"
(edited by Monovia)
Geoff would head out of his room with a pack of crackers before heading to the third floor and his own lab.
[Jin decided to go to his lab and work on his next... Project.]
Leo decides to check the boxes near Jin's lab.
[Jin sees Leo checking out stuff near his lab and decides to do something about it.] "Well if it isn't my favorite smutlord!" [Jin hit Leo's arm with a wrench.] "Get the hell away from my lab."
"Damn!" Afterwards, Leo takes a box and runs away
[Leo then realized that there were no boxes near Jin's lab, and that he took nothing.]
Gazette staggers out of Classroom 1-3 and makes her way to the transfer student room
[Gazette sees the two Machine Guns revving up as she comes close to the room.]
Leo makes his way to the storage room to move the boxes to Jin's Room.
(Guess i can't go in though...) she looks at her student handbook while stepping back Hey, Teddy Bear, what happens if you kill us? I'm not damaging anything walking up to the room, you are. So wouldn't you be breaking your own rules? Or do they not apply to you
[Monokuma appeared in front of Gazette.] "Oh, I'm not the one revving up those machine guns! That person is doing it on their own!"
Geoff headed back to the library to do some reading after spending the better part of the day in his lab.
[Monokuma's voice echoed through the school.] "It is now 10 PM! The Storage Room, Cafeteria, Gym and Pool are closed off for the night!"
[Jin headed to his room after some late tinkering.]
Elm's ghost makes a return. "I'm back, bitches. OOOoooOOOooH!"
"Seriously, who is the transfer student? They are paranoid by the looks of it. Maybe they'll come out if they think you are trustworthy? If I was still alive, I would visit them to be honest."
"Also, why do they get to control machine guns? This guy is uber suspish."
"Quite odd, but if they kill someone they have to appear in the trial, right?"
"True... unless they aren't a real student..." Elm falls deep into thought.
Geoff would head to his room, and lock the door behind him after a good amount of reading.
"Maybe so..."
[You already know what's happening.] "Hello again everybody! It's me, Monovia! Daddy's favourite! He wanted me to tell you guys to get up and get to killing because it's already 8 AM! That's all from me! Buh-bye!"
(edited by Monovia)
Geoff would head to the kitchen, his trade-mark sweater off for once, and went to get something to eat.
[Jin woke up.] "What a great day to... Do nothing and wait for someone to drop dead." [Jin headed to the Library, just to see if there were any interesting books around.]
[Jin sees... That something horrible happened in the library.]
[Jin, seeing something """horrible""", decided to get out of the Library and scream, hoping someone would get the hint and come here.]
Geoff would come out of the kitchen, a piece of raw toast in his hand. "What now?"
"Dead body."
*Jack appears in the library* Oh hey. Someone's dead. Never seen that before.
Geoff would take a bite of the toast "These shitty jokes of your get less and less funny." he would say. "If there were a dead body, where's the announcement for it huh?"
[Ding Dong Ding Dong!] "A body has been discovered! Please head to the library immediately!"
You mean that announcement?
Geoff would drop his toast and run into the library, shoving Jin out of the way. "What the fuck"
[They saw that the dead body belonged to Leo.] [Monokuma then appeared.] "Heeeere's the Monokuma file! Enjoooooy!" --- [The file reads as follows: -The victim is Leo Orava, the Ultimate Fanfiction Writer. -He died at 11:50 PM. -Cause of death: Multiple stabs.]
(edited by MonoShadow)
*Jack looks over at Jin and takes a sip of his water* You have a real bad habit of findin bodies, ya know that? Well whatever. Leo's dead. And that's terr'ble I guess.
(edited by Jack_King)
"Huh, that's true. Who knows, maybe next time I'll find..." [Jin's expression darkened] "Yours."
"Fuck. What the fuck" Geoff would stagger back, "W-who could have done this." He would immediately begin going around the library, looking for clues.

(edited by ElmTully)
Oooh. Edgy. Come on, Boy Wonder. You know the drill. *Jack would get to investigating Leo's body for evidence.*
[Jin decided to examine the Library and its surroundings.]
Shoji gets to the library and grabs the Monokuma file
[Jin finds a mess and... Stuff missing from the kitchen. Jack finds that stuff happened to the body.]
*Because Gear is to lazy to update in detail, guess I'll do it. Jack finds bloody handprints on the door to the library and on Leo's clothes, as well as drag marks leading to the table. * Hoo boy. Someone was pretty damn messy. Also looks like the body was dragged onto the table like some sort a sacrifice I guess. But where did the body come from? *Jack heads for the second floor to investigate.* Let's see if the other floors have somethin for ole Jack.
Hoo boy.Hoo boy.
Hoo boy.Hoo boy. Hoo boy.
https://youtu.be/fPRDBifQ0EY
"Hoo boy" Geoff would say as he looked around, catching a glance at the corpse.
"Hmm, something's fishy." [Jin decided to check every room on the first floor for potential evidence.]
Geoff would get tired of looking in the library and finding nothing that the others hadn't, and would go back to his room to get a snack.
[Jin found nothing.]
(edited by MonoShadow)
"Well, fuck." [Jin headed to the second floor.]
(edited by Masato_Jin)
*Jack arrives on the third floor and heads for the transfer student room to see if anything has changed with it.*
[Jin sees a trail of blood leading from his lab to the elevator. Jack sees that the machine guns aren't doing anything...]
Huh. *Jack walks up to the transfer student rooms door to see if he can open it.*
"Oh, that's a... bloody mess! ... Yikes, that was cringey. Do brits really say it like that?" [Jin decided to check out where the trail leaded to, and went to the third floor.]
[Monokuma arrives as Jack approaches the door.] "I wouldn't go in there if I were you- Not nice to intrude on someone getting ready for their first time!" [On the other side of things, Jin saw that the trail led to Geoff's lab.]
What's that supposed to mean? Who's in here exactly?
"Upupupu... You're gonna find out soon!"
That's not ominous at all.
"Alright, what have we here?" [Jin opened the door to Geoff's lab.]
[Jin finds... Oliver's dead body.] "Excuse me, Jacky boy, but... I've got something else to attend to."
[Jin saw Jack just standing there and doing nothing, so he screamed at him.] "Go get the others, Oliver's dead too."
Why do I have to do it? You do it. *Jack approaches Geoff's lab to see if there actually is a body there*
"Alright, then I guess I'm going back up." [Jin went back to the 1st floor and screamed.] "Dead body in Geoff's lab, get there you shitstains."
*Jack would get to work investigating Oliver's body for evidence.* Two dead. One day. Three by the end. We're runnin out a numbers.
Geoff would pop out of his room "What the fuck is it with you and these stupid fucking pranks Jin!" Geoff would yell at him, heading up to his lab nonetheless.
"Y'know, I wish that was a prank, but I'm not enough of a bitchass to think of that shit."
[With three people now looking at the body, Monokuma made a second announcement.] "A body has been discovered! Head to the Ultimate Procrastinator's lab immediately!" [Monokuma then appeared at the scene, handing out another Monokuma file.] "Thank Kamukura thsoe are cheap to make!" [The file reads as follows: -The victim is Oliver Romero, the Ultimate Out-Boxer -He died at ??? -Cause of death: Multiple stabs.]
"Alriiiight, I'm gonna investigate those dragmarks and each place they lead to, if y'all don't mind."
Shoji went to the ultimate procrastinator’s lab and took the second Monokuma file “Wow, another one. Why the hell would someone do this? You only need to kill one person to escape”
"I'll go with you"
[Hearing Shoji complain, Jin decided to open his mouth.] "What tells you there's only one killer? There could be two for all we know."
[Jin finds that the body was dragged in... Multiple places. Shoji, upon examining the body, found that a letter was on it.]
“Huh? What’s this paper about?” Shoji looks to see if there’s anything written on it
[Jin looked Inside the meeting room.]
[Jin found a very, very bent chair.]
Shoji runs over to Jin to tell him what he found “Hey, Jin. I found this note on Oliver’s body. It seems like whoever did this was trying to lure him to your lab”
Geoff would turn towards Shoji "What does it say?"
“The letter says "Come to the Ultimate Mechanic's lab." That’s all”
"Oh...well...he did from the looks of it..."
[Ding] "The Class Trial is about to begin! Please head to the Elevator immediately!"
Geoff would head to the elevator
Gazette gathers all that she can while reviewing the information and made her way to the elevator ....Another one....
[Jin headed to the elevator.] "Eh... I've got my ideas."
"Want to share some of them?"
"Before you do that... Would our newest student please introduce herself?"
I'm...Alma Faust, that is all you need to know about me. It is nice to meet you all.
"Nice to meet you too I guess."
It seems like I have introduced myself late, I apologize. I feel...awful.
"Story of my life. Well anyway, What I found is... That Jeffrey here might be the killer. I've found that there's missing knives in the kitchen... That there was a poorly conceiled fight in the Library... And that ther's a bloody sweater in his room!"
Are you sure it wasn't planted, sir? Anything is possible.
"Pretty sure it was his- He's the only one with a fashion sense this bad."
Anything can be considered good or bad. Monokuma, are the dorm rooms lockpickable?
"As sad as I am to admit, yes, the doors are far from perfect..."
In that case, the sweater could have been stolen and planted.
"Wait..." Geoff would let out, "Why the fuck were you in my room!"
Suspicions, could be the answer. Many have died, most I do not know. By the looks of everyone's eyes...I see distrust and fear.
"It's a thing called investigation, dumbass."
It is inappropriate to break into someone's room without permission. However, I cannot say anything more about it.
.....guys...don't fight.... Gazette sighs Jin...w-what were the state of...the body when you found them....
Shoji looked over at Alma “Where have you been this whole time? You just showing up so suddenly is incredibly suspicious”
"Well, both of 'em were stabbed. They were pretty bloody, too. Olly was paler, though. Probably because he lost more blood, what with getting dragged around on two floors. Or maybe three, since I did notice some stuff on the first floor..."
.....it doesn't matter...doubt she's..the culprit.... Gazette yawns It would be too obvious.....she had no way of making an alibi before this....trial (Dragged...first we need to figure out who died first...)
(edited by Gazette_Luizen)
Soooo. We're not talkin about that letter that Shoji found then? *Jack shuffles a deck of cards absentmindedly.* The one that was on Olly-boy's corpse?
(edited by Jack_King)
"There isn't much to say about it, just the same thing that happened last case."
...... Gazette rolls her eyes What did the..note say?
I understand you do not trust me at all, it is alright. I do not know much as well. Where i came from..I do not know either.
"Meet me at the ultimate mechanic's lab" Geoff would say.
"I call bullshit on that."
"on what?"
“Actually... it just says “Come meet me at my lab” ... also the signature is almost scribbled out but I can see that it starts with a J”
God Jin. Can't ya destroy the incriminatin evidence against ya properly? *Jack shakes his head.* So we have a blood trail leadin from Jin's lab to Geoff's lab and a victim with a letter wantin to meet them in their lab begin with a "J". I'll give y'all one guess at who I'm thinkin did this.
"Well I'd say it's obvious too... Jacky boy! I knew it! The 'Ultimate Conman' was you!"
Ultimate Conman? *Jack laughed, shaking his head.* Really? Your graspin at straws son. Just cause I use my luck for gamblin don't make me a conman. Sides, the trail leads from your lab, not mine. How's that work? *Jack draws a card, holding it up to reveal the Jack of Spades.* Here's my theory. Jin asked Olly to his lab. When he got there, he killed him and dragged his body off to Geoff's lab to try and pin it on him. He intended to remove his name from the letter do it looked like Olly met Geoff in his lab and then was killed. But before he could do it properly, He was found by our first victim found: Leo, prolly tryin to raid Jin's lab again but found the blood trail and followed it. Jin stabbed him on the third floor, but Leo was able to get to the elevator and escape. Jin chased him up to the first floor, not wantin a witness to get away and killed him in the library, havin found him due to Leo leavin a bloody hand print on the door. But, due to this, he was unable to properly clean up. That explains the mess we found. *Jack puts the Jack of Spades back into his deck randomly before looking back up.* I think that makes a good theory, don't you? Holes are accepted though. Always like the truth I do.
Let's It sounds reasonable, sir with the cards, but you look familiar... Have we met before?
"See, I have something called 'Bullshit' on my side. Monokuma, could you answer my widdle question? I've been wondering... What's our good friend Jack's secret? You know... The one Hana-hon had."
I don't think we've ever met, I'm afraid. Unless you've been to Vegas before. *Jack looked back to Jin* That motives past, son. Sides, even if you did know, it wouldn't help ya. But, since you asked and I got nothin to hide, I'll just say that I may be wanted by quite a lot of folk for a hefty sum of money. That's all it was.
"No no no, none of that! I hate liars! Jack King's secret was that he was the Ultimate Conman!"
It does not matter what Sir with the Cards has as a talent. We should focus on our abilities, yes?
"Well you see, Monokuma just confirmed what I was thinking! Jacky, Jacky, my friend... You killed Olly, didn't ya?"
Bastard... *Jack growls before sighing and shaking his head.* No, I did not kill Olly-boy. See, your point that I did it hinges on a fact that can't be possible: That Olly KNEW I was the Ultimate Conman. What do you think is a more reasonable belief? That someone who's widely known as beein an ultimate had someone visit their lab on request or that someone who no-one knew was that ultimate had someone visit their lab on request? That and it doesn't explain why the blood trail leads from the second floor to the thrid if I killed the poor boy, cause my lab is also on the third floor. As I said, Jin. Graspin at straws.
"Well, does anyone have any evidence that might help? My mind's on a certain new person... Surely, you've got something good to add to this discourse!"
Sir with the Cards, do you by any chance saw anything unusual in the third floor? Was anything broken into, sir?
Broken into? Hmm? Dunno. Wasn't exactly lookin for that. Maybe Geoff's lab, but I can't be too sure. I mean Jin tried to drill open my lab, but apart from that, not really. Why do ya ask?
Well sir, I believe I have seen you dragging a body with you. I did not think much of it, sir. However, it is rather suspicious, yes?
Geoff would whistle.
And when, pray tell, was that, may I ask?
I believe around midnight, sir.
"So Jack's the culprit" Geoff would say clapping his hands together. "Thanks for your help....uh...I don't think I got your name..."
My name is Alma Faust, other sir. I may need yours as well.
Geoff, sir. You are the king of jumpin to conclusions. Cause y'all are missin a simple fact. If I were the killer, why would a letter with Jin's name end up on a letter tellin them to meet them in their lab when my lab no-one knew where it was at that time? And Further more, all our new friend told us is that she saw someone who looks like me draggin what looked like a body around at midnight. the final thing we're missin is this: Olly, no matter how tragic his death or what the circumstances were, is not the victim our trial is for. *Jack shrugs* Just cause you think I killed Olly, which I didn't, on the testimony of an eye witness who saw somethin in the middle of the night, when it was dark and she may have been just awoken or just about to sleep, somethin that, by the by would be thrown out in an actual court, we need to find one thing. How or if Olly's murder ties to Leo's.
I..see, sir. Very well, you can either believe in me or not. But, I swear with my useless life, that I have seen you, Sir with the Cards.
That's an awfully high ante, Miss. I do hope you don't mind, when I proove that I'm not the culprit for this case, you don't mind if I run with that offer. One life for another. I do like having an assisstant in my games, after all.
What do you mean, sir? I do not understand what you are saying to me.
I'm sayin that if I'm not the culprit, then you lose your life to me in that bet. But I'm not a killer, so I won't end it. I'll just use you instead. If one owns another's life, that person owns the other. And, as I say, I do like assistance in the game that I play. *Jack smirks.* Still wanna put your life on the betting table, Miss?
Is this a blackmail? I'm sorry sir, but I will not allow that. After all, I have no memories outside of here. I will not lose anything.
Not blackmail. Simply a challenge. We're both puttin our lifes up on the bettin table, after all. Hate for the other to feel disapointed in the game if the other pulls their bets at the last minute. Bettin your life is not somethin you can go back from. So, in the spirit of fairness, I'm just makin sure you understand the gravity of you bettin your life on me bein the killer is all. I'm from the Vegas Underground Bettin ring after all. Idiots makin bad bets and losin more than they thought they were bettin due to bad word choice is common place in the arena.
“What the hell is up with this girl?” Shoji turns to Monokuma “Who is this person? Did you do something to them?”
"Nooo, she just had a taste of some delightful despair!"
“What? A taste of despair? What the hell are you talking about?” Shoji pauses “Nevermind, forget it. Now that I think about it, you won’t tell me anything no matter how much I ask”
Very well then, I accept your bet, sir with the cards. Excuse me for a moment. *Alma turns To Shoji* Do not worry, sir, I am fine.

So the bet has been accepted by both sides. *Jack looks up at Monokuma with a smirk* You got that on record bear? If I am found guilty in this trial of the murder of Leo, my life is your pawns to do as she sees fit. If I am to be executed on her orders, let it be. But if she wants me around after the fact, belay the judgement. But if I am found innocent, I'll take her off your paws. While she may have tasted your despair, she won't be yours any more but instead she'll become my assistant. Any objections as overseer of the bet?
"Upupupu... This is getting interesting! Isn't that right, Monovia?!"
Excuse me, sir with the cards, why sir Leo? We were talking about sir Olly..
That we were. But he don't matter in the grand scheme of things. After all, this trial is to find out who killed Leo. If olly was killed by the same person, that's great, but if not the second murder gets a free pass. Am I wrong, bear?
"Yup yup! Leo Orava's murderer is the Blackened you're looking for!"
However, sir, sir Olly was not given a time of death in the Monokuma file. How do we know if he was killed after sir Leo, sir?
Doesn't matter. *Jack shrugs.* Let's focus on what we do know. Leo was killed at 11:50PM yesterday. The library was left a bloody mess so the killer might have had it out for him. We also know the murder weapon was a knife as there are some missing from the kitchen. Also, a bloody jumper was found inside of Geoff's room. As such, this would make Geoff the best culprit we have for Leo's body. Shame we don't have a science lab. Bet Luminol would light him up like a sparkler on the 4th of July.
However, the doors are not that great. Monokuma mentioned that can be lockpicked. The killer could have planted the jumper, sir. Because of the two murders, the evidence will be mixed up.

Yeah, that is a problem. Hmm. If only there was finger prints we could test on the crime scene. Oh! Wait a minute! There are, *Jack makes a mock suprise motion.* All we need to do is compare finger and handprints to the ones found at the crime scene and on Leo's clothes to determine who they belonged to. Then, just like that, we have ourselves a blackened. Any objections?
You, sir, are very sure of yourself. However, that may be your downfall in the future. In the end, it is a good idea.

If I had a dollar for any times i've heard the whole "pride 'll be your downfall" thing, Miss, I could buy a big ole house and live a comfortable life for the rest of my days. Unfortunately, life ain't quite so kind.
"Do we...have any way to do that? I'm all for it, since it proves me innocent and whoever broke into my room to frame me could be caught."
(edited by dopl)
But of course. It is, after all, the best way to find the killer. Unless, of course, you have something you'd like to tell the class.
Anything can happen and will happen, sirs.
Gazette rubs her eyes and processes all the information she was getting ......Couldn't.... Oliver had....called Leo to the lab without the real killer knowing....or something...
That could be a possibility, miss.
"I'm saying we should do it Jack... I'm just asking if we have any way to do it."
Based on that..... Oliver had to be killed first....then Leo....maybe...Oliver planned to meet...Leo and...yeah....
Are you alright miss? I am rather concerned, you seem very tired...
I've seen cops do it many times. Just use some dark powder and press it down on white paper. Hell, pen ink works if we don't have powder. And, seeing as the bear had us do writing tests last trial, we know he has both white paper and pen ink avalible. After that, it's just a simple matter of comparin hand prints to those found at the crime scene. Since the girls have a theory, takin one from Olly may work as well.
Ah, that should work sir, but when will we acquire those items?
The bear provided them last trial. I assume he'll be kind enough to do it again.
"I hope so"
tired...maybe......maybe just tried from the...killings.....but...if the note was made to look like Jin or Jack then....then a writing test shouldn't work....and on the case of the fingerprints...couldn't the killer have planted them?
That seems to be the case, but miss, after this please go to your dorm and rest. I do not want you to be sick.
me....sick? ha...ha...h..a..h..a... funny. if we're getting fingerprints on items then..... can we get one on the chair?
After this I'll make you some tea, okay miss?
........ Gazette smiles slightly i...i will like that...
[Monovia pops out from behind Monokuma's seat, holding pens and papers in her hands.] "I don't like this, but you guys've gotta solve this quick! Here you go!" [Monovia hands out a pen and a sheet of paper to all 7 remaining students.]
Thank you Monovia. *Alma holds up a pen* Shall we break this to use the ink inside?
