❄️lucian arbred's pov🕊️Lucian nodded. Of course. If... There was a chance Darcy was still alive, if... He was dying, that is... they should arrive before it's too late. "Do you want us to come with you?" Lucian wasn't sure if it mattered but-- no, why did he suspect such a thing? The idea that... Maybe Shi and Miyako had... No, it would be too obvious, wouldn't it? And Monokuma wanted a mystery, so the roleplayers would probably not do something so obvious. Wait... Roleplayers? "If you want." "Shi. Keep an eye on Detector. I've got to protect someone here. Don't let him do anything to Lucian, okay? Or you." (disclaimer: if Lucian wasn't supposed to hear this, disregard this part of the post as non-canon) "no, it's alright, really! He's not going to do anything." But Lucian... Wasn't quite so sure. He didn't think... Kubo was super dangerous or anything, but... He had been about to fight with Idris after the second trial if Lucian hadn't intervened. Plus, he was... Probably just under the influence of his concussion, but the fact he... Kissed him out of nowhere like that- urgh. That never should have happened in the first place, Kubo wasn't even aware of it, I started it... It... Never should have happened. Besides, it's not like I mean anything to him... Right? He just... Thought I was Kaoru, I think... I don't think he would actually hurt me, or that he would actually kill someone, but he has shown himself to be rather volatile. Miyako does raise a good point. But I don't think he would ever hurt me intentionally. "Just a little disagreement my friend Miyako and I had. Right? But we worked it out." Miyako. When was she not being a flippant ensuer or solver of chaos? Lucian didn't feel like he could quite figure her out. At times... She felt like someone deeply twisted and immoral, and sometimes... She felt like someone understanding and caring, who you could trust. Maybe she was both. Something of a massive contradiction. Never truly picking sides, never for or against anything. "It'll be fine... Right? Let's just... Go get Darcy." If he's even still alive. He kept wanting to reach for Kubo's hand, if only to feel a bit of reassurance at its presence. But he restrained himself, because it didn't feel like it was appropriate. Plus... The whole thing just made him think about Kaoru... Why wasn't she here? Why wasn't EVERYONE here? 📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭"well... alright, Sawyer. If... It's okay with everyone else." "Can I come? Please?" I just want to know that my friend is okay. Is he? Why is... No one telling me anything?! It was just like that place... All over again... [Read more] |

♟️Laurence Walton's POV📖Now, he faced his first obstacle of what would be the torture he called his life now for an entire month. Forcing himself not to go berserk on the absurd moronic mongrel that was Andreja Buivis. "Escaped? Escaped from what?" he huffed, rubbing his palms over his face, up and down and up and down again, in an increasingly stressed out fashion. "I narrowly escaped from my entire future being completely ruined. From a fate arguably worse than death. Shockingly, getting both into, and out of the situation was because of you. That's... The one thing I can't understand. You seem like you despise me, and yet... You stood up for me there. In a way, almost." Can't quite call it that. "Thanks to that, I might still have a chance to make something of myself in this place. But... You could have easily just let me be removed from the program. You're under enough fire as it is. I just don't understand it." I don't understand how I could possibly have done something so incredibly stupid, and gotten stuck with YOU of all people for an entire month. "Well. I guess we better get started." 🌹Cadence Laurier's POV🎯She guessed that Michon had probably attended to it. After all... Mawer was an incompetent eldritch abomination combined with an utter lack of professionalism, idiocy, and chaos. Well, not entirely incompetent, but Michon could calm conflicts far better than she could. But the Head Detective felt like something was amiss in the building. Like all was not quite as it should have been. Something had changed... She must get to the bottom of it. 🍓Cali Mabey's POV💟That was possibly the worst thing at this agency. The complete and utter loneliness you felt... 📚Sawyer Laurens's POV🍭[Read more] |

♟️Laurence Walton's POV📖He narrowly suppressed a scowl in response to her jeers. Ah. Maybe I HAVEN'T misjudged her after all. "Respect..." The coldness in the Head Detective's voice made Laurence noticeably stiffen, mentally reminding himself he was already screwed, and he was lucky it wasn't worse. "Yeah... okay. Not an idiot." Given how she said it, he highly doubted that she meant it, but said nothing on the matter. "And you're...?" "Sorry. Yeah. I'm sorry. Look, this guy's having some sort of mental breakdown over here. Can't you... I dunno, like split the punishment or something? He and I both gotta do stuff." What? What was she… "And work it out. Together." If Laurence Walton had been drinking coffee, or any other substance in the form of liquid for that matter, he would have spat it out in shock. And… utter relief. Mixed with… worry and despair. "Yeah. Yeah that's good. So...?" … "Both of you will arrive at 0500 hours. That is when the janitors arrive and open up for the day. You will be working with them." Janitor duty?... Ugh. Of course. "Uhhh...?" …with… her. His eye was twitching. Still… it was miles above being forced out of the program. Forever. Being reduced to nothing with no future in sight… "I assume that's an acceptable punishment, Walton? Janitor duty for a month. Rather light in comparison... and you'll be able to go back to regular internee work afterwards." Laurence took a deep breath, and steadied himself. He nodded. “Yes, I suppose that’ll be alright. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much, sir. I won’t ever let something like this happen again. I swear on my life.” But… why had Andreja… stood up for him like that? Oh. Wait. No, it probably wasn’t out of any sort of… altruism, was it? He’d seen the guilt and unhappiness on her face. But then it occurred to him. That was, yes, of course, probably all faked. The real reason… was probably that this was her plan all along. She just wanted another in to torment him. And, I owe her now. Grand. He gave both Andreja Buivis and the Head Detective a grateful, stiff, tight-lipped smile, one which was full of gratitude and, of course, at the same time, full of a shaken dread. Janitor duty. For a MONTH. With HER. Of all PEOPLE. This was going to be a long month. [Read more] |

♟️Laurence Walton's POV📖The words rung in his ears. A million clocks chimed twelve, all at once, pendulums swinging back and forth and back and forth, he wandered through a maze of mirrors frantically and at once they all shattered, he would try to scream and scream and scream for help and no one heard, as the nausea overwhelmed him, as the snakes and vines furled around his neck and he tried to speak, to sputter, to stutter, a single word, and no sound came out-- Do you understand you will not be let back in the agency? Not... Be let back in the agency? Expelled. No interest in acting responsibly in a work environment. Not allowed to return. Not recommended in any field in law enforcement. Expelled. Expelled. Expelled. Black mark on your record. Black mark on your record. Black mark on your record. His entire future crumpled before him in an instant. He tried to speak, to utter some sort of reply, but he couldn't. His parents would never forgive him. He would never amount to anything. All his hard work, every effort that he had put forth... Wasted. Because of one stupid mistake. Laurence tried to utter some kind of response, but nothing could come out. Nothing could come out. "No charges of assault will be laid against you. I will ensure it." ...it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Because if this happened, he was nothing. He would be nothing. "Wait, sir. But- he's kinda right. I mean, I was trying to provoke him. Or whatever. I just don't think he needs to be kicked out, if it's about me, you know? It was a fight, it wasn't like he was beating me up or something." Andreja... Standing up for him? What was he even hearing? "Are you offering up your place in the Agency to young Walton?" "...Andreja, no. You shouldn't put yourself in jeopardy like that. The... Head Detective is right. I had no excuse to act the way I did, and, if... I'm going to cause such... Catastrophic acts, I shouldn't even be here. I know it was wrong. Utterly unacceptable, incivility in its worst possible form. Downright criminal, animalistic behavior. Truly unlike me, and not something that I would ever want to do. And the fact that I have done it, on my very first day, nonetheless, just shows I don't deserve the opportunities I was offered here. I'm not even worthy of calling myself an intern. I'm even less than that." He stared down at the floor. "You shouldn't be punished for my lack of common sense and civility. Getting to learn from this agency may have been one of the things that I wanted more than anything else, but that doesn't matter if I'm unable to act the way I should. So I..." He swallowed and sighed, doing his best to fight back the tears. "If I'm to be expelled for it... I guess that's the way it should be." I just wanted to make you proud. To make something of myself. To be able to hold my head high at all I had been able to accomplish. But... I'm not even worthy of being here. Of being given this chance. 🥽Suzume Fujimori's POV🧪🧣Eloi Torres's POV🌧️"Maybe!" he whispered back to Niwa. "Do you think maybe we should split up? There might be multiple ways they could have gone... At least, I think so..." He didn't like the idea of splitting up with his new friend. It was comforting to have him near, to know that, even if neither of them were something particularly special, like super strong or super smart or both or actually having superpowers or something, at least they'd have each other's backs. There was safety in numbers... [Read more] |

❄lucian arbred's pov🕊Lucian's eyes widened. "...you're not implying..." Was Kubo saying that Shi, or Miyako, or both of them were responsible? That Darcy... was dead? Oh... oh god. "Excuse me?" Lucian pulled his scarf up against his face in an attempt to hide how flustered he was. "I'm... well, happy to- see you, Kubo. To have- you here." Oh, that was a great wall. Yes, such a nice wall that was. "Work together...Yeah. We can figure things out." He felt his hand instinctively brush against Kubo's, and then he pulled it slightly away. Something about it made him remember Kaoru and the queasiness resettled. Darcy could be dead, too... when will whoever's doing this be satisfied? Lucian had finally thought he'd escaped from... death. So, so much death. All around him. Following him everywhere. But there was no escape. No, we... have to all escape from this place, right? RIGHT? "Chocolate Boy? Last I checked he was in the dungeons. I super smashed the floor and he jumped down, we were on our way to get rope and pull him out when..." "...so... he might still be alive. If the fall didn't kill him, and... if someone else didn't..." Lucian trailed off. "We should check down there." He swallowed nervously. 📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭The words suddenly linked together in Sawyer's mind. No... that... couldn't be. Dead... that... dying... dying meant... Nonono. It's okay. Maybe he's just... left the dream. The dream... ... "S-Sawyer! Oh! You startled me! I wasn't... expecting to see you here..." "Why were you standing on the railing, Dace? That doesn't seem like you! Buuuut it looked like fun! Can I join you?" "No! Nonono. Sawyer, no. That's-- a bad idea. It could be dangerous, you know?" "Then... why were you doing it?" They frowned. "You didn't answer my question." "I was... well, I was just- enjoying the view from... a little higher up? C'mon. It's... not important. Can you just drop it?" "...okay. But if you were doing it, it can't be that dangerous. Couldn't I join you?" "Agh, no! It was- it was stupid, okay? I admit it! Please don't. I... wouldn't want to see you hurt." His arms were crossed and he looked stiff as a board. Darcy was staring over the edge, with a mournful, distant sort of look in their eyes. And Sawyer... felt like something was off. Like there was something he wasn't telling them. "Darcy... is something wrong? It's okay, I'm your best friend, you can tell me!" "Nothing. I was just... thinking about things." "Thinking about... what things?" "..." They stood there, together, side by side, for what felt like an eternity. "Erica." "Huh?" "Why is... why is she so good, Sawyer? She's... she's too good. Everybody loves her. You love her, I love her, Mom loves her... Will loves her, everyone at school loves her... I bet even Dad loved her. Maybe. Mom always said he probably left her because of me, not her. She's beautiful, she's kind, she's smart, she's talented... she's everything I'm not. I just... wish I could be good too." Sawyer didn't know what to say at first. They patted Darcy on the shoulder and tried a smile. "Well... I think you're pretty great, Darcy! Really great." "You... think so?" "Absolutely! You always have time for me, and no matter how stupid you think my ideas are, you still hear me out! You always remember my references to the things I like, you're always there to remind me when I forget important things, you always share your lunches with me when I forget to bring one (which happens often), and... you're always willing to do anything with me. You're also really honest, and caring, and helpful, and super smart and dedicated! And also--" Sawyer stopped rambling, as they noticed Darcy had started crying, although he was frantically wiping away the tears to try to hide it. "Why do... you do this? Why do you keep making me care about you? I... know I shouldn't..." "D-Darcy?" What... did he mean by that? That he... shouldn't care? "I... I should go. I'm sorry. Thanks for... hanging out with me." Sawyer watched as Darcy took one last glance over the edge, and then slowly walked off. "You're welcome! Maybe we can hang out again tomorrow?" Sawyer shouted after him. Darcy gave them a sad smile. "...maybe." He didn't sound so sure, as Sawyer just watched him... walk away. Did... he leave... again? Why do... I remember you leaving? I don't understand. We... just met... recently, didn't we? ... But... What?... Sawyer turned to look at Shi. "Darcy's... he's... okay, right? It couldn't have been that bad a fall... he wouldn't have... risked something like that. At least, I don't... think so." How do... I know that? I don't... understand. Why? Lucian looked away from the distraught Sawyer. "...he's... probably okay. We'll just have to check." Is that true? . .. ... Darcy? ❄lucian arbred's pov🕊Lucian winced. He'd really have to hope for their sake especially that Darcy was okay. "Kubo... how do you know Darcy was last with those two? What happened?" Maybe Shi or Miyako can tell us. He still couldn't help but distrust Miyako after the Kaoru fiasco... he knew it was probably irrational, but... it still dwelled there. Just what was going on with her?... [Read more] |

♟️Laurence Walton's POV📖I'm seventeen years old. He would have muttered it, but he resisted the urge, knowing it not wise to say such a thing out loud. Things were tense enough as is. "Oh, to go back to the time when I was an intern, so young, and full of life... nah, no I wasn't." Pfft. Comforting. "No need to shift the blame on this poor boy, right? Nobody- except her- got hurt! So basically nobody important, right?" Laurence felt the need to object. "She's still a person. I could have walked away, and... I didn't. I only escalated the conflict. I appreciate your defending me, but she isn't the only one accountable." "PLus, it's this dude's first day! Give the guy a chance, he could probably end up being pretty rad." Laurence couldn't think of anything to say to that. Of course he didn't want to wind up sent home. Of course he didn't want to wind up being a delinquent and a disappointment who never achieved anything with his life. But... he couldn't just not take accountability here. He was in the wrong as well. So he just fell silent. [Read more] |

♟️Laurence Walton's POV📖In her defense, though, he could have walked away. Instead he had fought back. Maybe this never would have happened if it hadn't been for him. He didn't want to deny it, that would be undignified. But to not deny it, to accept the blame... Oh, he could say goodbye to the degree he had so desperately hoped for. His parents would probably prefer to let him drop dead on the street than come home anything but victorious. He wasn't even supposed to be here! Why had he gone and gotten involved? Stupid Laurence. Stupid. You're not usually like this! Of all the shameful-- "No. It's alright, I am responsible. She provoked me, and I overreacted. It was my fault, not hers. It was incredibly undignified behavior on my part, sir, and I..." He lowered his head. "I offer you my sincerest apologies. If you should have me banned from the internship program, or punished in any other way, I... Wouldn't blame you. In the least." WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! SAVE YOURSELF. YOU ARE SO DEAD! SOME FUTURE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE!! You just threw away ANY CHANCE of saving the situation! "It was... A pleasure meeting you all. Not one that I deserved. I'm sorry for everything." Despite the lack of a stammer in his voice, his tightened shoulders still shook. His voice still wobbled slightly, as did the rest of him. Only his tone carried the illusion of composure, and only slightly. I should tell the truth about what happened. But... I wouldn't want to throw Andreja under the bus like she did me. After how I reacted, I'm no better than she is. I don't deserve to be here. 🌧️Eloi Torres's POV🧣He didn't really want to let go of his friend's hand, for fear of what the noise might have been. Maybe he still wasn't that brave yet. [Read more] |

❄️lucian arbred's pov🕊️Lucian glanced around. "I guess that's... What we're trying to figure out." "I see... Do you have anything else?" "...no, not... Really. Besides some pasta I made that probably no one is even hungry for... Although..." He tugged thoughtfully at his scarf, tightening it slightly. "I think that I haven't seen... Darcy recently. He might be-- missing." Lucian paused as he said the last word, not wanting to say what he meant by "missing". "or maybe he's just busy... I'm not sure. But he should be here by now... And... Considering what our strangely buff Headmaster said..." "Yeah. Yeah, I've been okay. We were just doing some investigating in the labs just now. Didn't find anything, before that damn murder alarm went off. How about you?" "I... Organized the Nurse's Office, and... Made pasta, Akari and I talked... Not really much of note can be said... and Sawyer's been acting even stranger than usual." It was only after Lucian finished talking that he realized Kubo had also been asking him how he'd been. Oh... That... Mattered to him? Kubo... Wanted to know how he'd been doing. "I...I'm better. Now that you're here..." Great. The dumbest, cheesiest possible response. "I suppose we investigate. Examine the body to whatever extent we can... and ensure everyone sticks together so that no evidence can be tampered with. I suppose we'll also have to keep an eye on Solaro, if the bear turns out to be correct. Even if he's lying, her sister's death may prove to make her volatile. We can't risk a suicide, not when everything's as confusing as it is." Lucian nodded worriedly. Solaro looked pretty shaken up. Sawyer had been saying something to her he couldn't make it out, something about prom and about friends and some magical place and not knowing what death is or something. Oh, great. They had completely lost it. "yeah... And... We might want to ask people what they know?" he suggested. "it's... Doubtful to bring results, but..." "Awwwwhhhh :((, why the long faces? Being dead doesn't mean you can't come to prom!! The dead body can be the DJ!!" Lucian merely glanced to the left, his eyes narrowing upward in a worried fashion (if that makes any sense on paper). What kind of twisted mind?... How could they... Say such a thing? "...stop it, Saeko. Stop it. We should... Hold a funeral, of some sort." He could feel himself choking on the words as they left his throat. As he remembered the various funerals he had attended throughout his life... Of his mother. Of his siblings. And of many, many clients that he hadn't been able to save. Some people... You just couldn't save. Death followed you everywhere. It followed everyone everywhere. "not that... There's time for that. But... The last thing we should do is... Start seeing everyone the way our Headmaster sees all of us." Okayyy fiiiiineeee, I'm joking, obvs! I'll totally help with solving the murder!! Or, whatever the bear thingy said. I'm really experienced at this sorta stuff, y'know, I used to listen to true crime podcasts. I'm like basically an expert at this point, I could totes be like Kubo!! :3" "Don't bring me into this." Lucian sighed and patted Kubo comfortingly on the arm. He probably would have patted him on the shoulder but they basically have a foot worth of height difference, so that's not exactly easy to achieve. "sorry about them. But... We'll need all the help we can get. And if we work together, maybe we can all figure this mess out. Right?" He gave Kubo a warm smile. I just hope that we all can. Is it... Really best... That I... Prom. Everyone was talking about prom. Lucian did his best to keep the smile upon his face. That was probably going to be a total bust. And, there was... No way that he'd... Actually ask... ... Yeah right. There was no way he'd want to go with him. And that was okay. I thought prom seemed like a good idea. But... Now... It just feels like a trap. 📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭"Dead? What's... Dead? She's asleep, you know! We can't wake her up yet or she'll be grumpyyy!" ... Prom... Darcy? Where are you? Did you leave... Again? "Oh! Detective work? Coolz, mysteries! Wait... What are we... Investigating?" That was odd. What mystery was there? What was... Everyone talking about? They thought they saw a worried look in Lucian's gaze, but no words betrayed his silence. [Read more] |

Laurence Walton's POVHis mouth fought to form the words, but in that state, with all those eyes on him... He couldn't keep his composure. What the hell was he even supposed to say? Oh, she punched me, so I fought back. Really civilized behavior there, Laurence Walton. You should have just left while you still could. But all he could do was stare in silence. He couldn't even form the words. He had to explain, but... He couldn't find it in him. When my parents find out about this... Oh, for God's sake, this isn't going to be pretty. I'll be thrown out of the agency at best, considered a criminal at worst. It didn't matter that the mongrel had started it. He had allowed it to continue. And all he could do was hang his head in silent shame. Eloi Torres's POVEloi winced. "Oh, I... I'm so sorry." That sucked. That honestly sucked when things like that happened. "Don't worry. Call it intuition, but I feel like you'll really do something great. Someday, your dreams of being a hero won't just be dreams. That's a promise, from a fellow Spiderman fan. That is, if you like Spiderman...?" "Really? Thank you! I'll... I'll try. Maybe you'll do something great, too!" Elois glanced away, pulling his hat down further. "Y-Yeah... I do! I love Spiderman... He's so cool... I--" He was struggling to decide whether to actually talk about it or change the subject when he was interrupted by a loud noise. "H-Hey. Did you hear that? It sounded like a gunshot... Should we check it out?" Eloi considered this for a moment. On the one hand, maybe they weren't supposed to check it out. But on the other... What if it was something really serious? What if it was... Something really scary? He gulped nervously, and took Niwa's hand, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to for reassurance, to reassure Niwa, or... Both, maybe. "Yeah. M-Maybe... This is the calling we've been waiting for. To... Um... Face our fears and- become heroes. Or something. Awk, that's cheesy, um... Let's check it out." Cadence Laurier's POVShould she head in there, though? Someone else was probably already taking care of it. Then again, she might have a responsibility... [Read more] |

They brushed her... face? It felt... slightly cold. The hair, it felt... off, somehow. They poked the figure. No movement. "Boy. You sure are good at this... 'playing role thingy'!" Yeah, that was it. This is a game of Mafia, right? ... Or... is she just sleeping? Because... she couldn't be... Sorry. Sorry would imply something is wrong. Something happened. But... what? The word echoed in Sawyer's ears. I don't... understand. "Someone, please... help me understand!" "That's what we're trying to do, Sawyer! Please. We just need you to remember." "I don't... I don't know... I don't know what you mean." "That day. Do you remember what happened that day?" "I... don't know." "We can't help you unless you tell us what happened."

❄lucian arbred's pov🕊(Akari was speaking in the normal-size font? That must be serious.) "...what, Akari? I was just saying, hypothetically..." He deliberately avoided eye contact. Then, his heart skipped a beat. "Hey! I'm here! Lucian! What happened? Do you know? Were you here?" "K-KUBO?! I-" He clapped his hand over his own mouth, muffling himself, willing himself to calm down. I'm really glad you're okay. And... Idris is okay, too. "Kubo... it's great to see you again. Monokuma brought up the idea of a second body, and I- I was worried that-" He shook his head, as though trying to shake his dizzying thoughts into focus. "...I was worried... you were gone, too. I just hope... everyone's okay." But, that was enough sentimentality, he had to answer Kubo's questions. Something was different about him, the look in his eyes... the way he immediately darted over, and... the way he spoke... something was different. Something had changed in the Ultimate Detective. He twisted a lock of his hair around his finger thoughtfully. "...Akora is dead. Well, you can see that. Monokuma... claimed that Solaro killed her. And that if a second person doesn't show up dead soon, then everyone gets punished. Probably killed... I don't... know much, I was just in the kitchen, preparing some food before getting ready for prom, and... I heard the announcement of the body..." He trailed off. He lowered his head, still too shy to meet Kubo's gaze. "...have... you been okay?" Lucian found himself looking at Idris, whom he gave a little wave. He gave a nervous smile to the Linguist, given the last time he saw him, he was freaking trying to kill somebody. Hopefully, he was doing better now. Wait... and where the hell was Darcy? Was he the other dead person? 📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭...bedtime? I don't... understand anything I'm saying. Am I saying that? . . . What was... going on? Something was... off... [Read more] |

❄lucian arbred's pov🕊Lucian winced. The bear's cruelty truly was endless. But... he still couldn't believe it... Solaro... had killed someone who meant so much to her? Why?... "Really! I'm amazed at what the human mind comes up with to cope with its own moral failings. Ah, but I suppose you'd see a lot of that in a killing game. Nothing particularly special here." Lucian didn't even know what to say. Things... really were no different here. This wasn't a civil society. This was... just like back home. Everyone... just killed each other. If it was convenient, if it even helped them even a little. He could feel his throat tightening up, his chest tightening up, his head, his heart throbbing... everything hurt. Shi was here now, and she appeared to be speechless. Lucian couldn't blame her. "Setsuna-" What was... Miyako trying to say? "Unfortunately, we gotta follow some rules here. Hence why my gorgeous, lovely wife~" Lucian cringed, despite himself. "--has proposed a solution! If you guys don't feel like following traditions, we'll give you some incentive!" "...incentive?" he mumbled weakly. "Incentive? The hell do you call this? This whole place is enough to drive someone to murder. You've seen that. You know that." ...Miyako was right about that, but... it didn't make it any better. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Death followed him everywhere. Is there nothing I can do?... "Well I'm glad you asked! Basically, in 24 hours, we'll be holding the Third Class Trial! If a second murder hasn't happened by that point, well... I suppose you'll all vote Solaro. She'll die, and you'll be left to take the punishment for rule-breakers." Lucian's eyes widened. Oh... oh god. If... If I died, would... it count? Does it have to be a murder? "I assure you... you don't want to find out what that is. It could be a toe, it could be a leg. Who knows. But in any case, you'll have time to enjoy that little prom of yours. I'd never dream of taking away the roleplayer's last chance to pair you guys off before this whole place goes to hell!" It was just like... just like... I need to be more. I need to do better. Better than that. If I... "I assume, then, that Solaro will be considered the killer, regardless of the second death?" ... "Oh no no no! Of course not! I wouldn't give up such a darling murder mystery! That's not entertaining at all!" If I... killed myself, would it... "I... DIDN'T. ...what is your problem..." ...poor Solaro. "I don't care. I didn't know her. It doesn't matter." ...Setsuna... why? "That's insane. You're nuts, bear, if you think we're gonna kill each other over dumb threats like that. Hell, even Detector boy wouldn't do that." Lucian perked up at Kubo's mention. Of course he wouldn't... I don't think he'd kill someone. At least... I hope not. He shook his head. What am I thinking? I... don't know that. I wish I did... "Puhuhu~ in case anyone's been skimming, I'll be upfront. We want another murder! And whoever's responsible for that one dies. We might even throw in Solaro if we're feeling generous." "You're effing insane. You can't do things like that. It's wrong!" "And who are you to talk about right and wrong, huh, little Miyako?" "What?" The words all blurred together. But Lucian couldn't help but ask. "Headmaster, if it turned out someone killed themselves, would it... count? Just... hypothetically." 📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV... Audio. Incomprehensible... ... What... So many people... Just like the waiting room. I think I'm lost. How did they... get here? What was... missing? Death? Someone dying? "Murder? Is this... a game of Mafia?" they murmured. No... it was... something else. How did I... get here? [Read more] |

📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POVSorry for... What? ... The big buff teddies spoke about the proceedings. There had to be two, there must be two. ... Was this... All... No, it couldn't be, could it? "We just have to get them to remember. No matter what it takes. And then... Maybe they can be rehabilitated back into society." "You're being too naïve, Doctor. Don't you see? There's no hope for them." "S-Sir! If you just gave me a little more time..." "It's hopeless. They're the worst case we've seen yet." Sawyer... Haven't you forgotten something? Something... Important? About all of this? The pieces haven't yet fallen into place. Was. She was a vet. What did that mean? "Did she retire?" they mumbled. Retire. Retire. Retire...? What did that mean? "I don't..." You've forgotten something, Sawyer. Something very important. The reason why... How... What happened... Do you remember? You rewind the memories, so they never happened. You rewind. You rewind. But they still happened. It's still there. What happened... Its consequences... It's still there. Don't you see? What all of this is? It's what you created. ... Shut up... Chapter 3... What? Books? Books? BOOKS? "How many fingers am I holding up?" "F-Four... I think." I don't remember... What... ... Or... Do I? Maybe I just... Don't want to think about it... But... What was it... Why did this all happen...? Loss... Someone close... Sawyer closed their eyes, and concentrated really hard. "You poor thing. Don't you know... What really happened?" "Is she... Sleeping, Akari? She looks so tired." The person seemed frightened. No, he could help himself up. He was fine. ... "You... Sure?" Are you... Scared of me? Body? What body?... What did that mean? ❄️lucian arbred's pov🕊️He was just... Tired. So very tired of all this. He wished it would just stop. People dying, dying, dying. He was powerless to stop it. "...A-Akari... It's okay. We'll figure this out..." He wished. He wished that was true. He HOPED it was. ... Another body... Was someone else dead? This was all so sick and twisted. When was... The last time he saw Kubo? A sickening lurch took hold of him. Or... Idris, or... Well, Miyako was okay. But... What about Shi, or... Sutaraitsu or Mika or... Darcy or... Saeko, or... Everyone, really? Were they okay? "...let's just... Get to the bottom of this." (Oh great sudden post) Lucian's eyes widened. "S-Solaro?! Why? And... What... Do you mean... Dropped a second victim?!"

Cadence Laurier's POVShe smiled back at him, before finding her way to her office. Alright. Let's see here... What do we have to sort through... Eloi Torres's POVEloi was about to give some sort of neutral response, something that neither affirmed nor denied Niwa's statement, because he didn't want to be made fun of yet again, until he heard Niwa say he also loved comics. "O-Oh! Really?... I... Thought I was the only one. Maybe you could show me your parents' collection somet- I- I mean, maybe I could show you my own. You- said they had an old collection? Did they... Throw it out?" Oh, great mechanical lords. What was he saying?! What if Niwa was just humoring him? Maybe he did think he was a stupid nerd... "I've always looked up to superheroes. They save the day... and they always do it so happily too. Like it's all that matters to them. Like they're good people." Maybe... He's just... Someone like me. "Oh, really? I-- know what you mean. They're so cool. And everyone is so happy, and they're so happy that everyone else is so happy... And they're so amazing. I wish- I was that amazing. I'm just an ordinary guy who somehow happened to become a detective." He sighed. "I'm- really not that good at this job, either, but, I guess I try my best. I wish I was like those heroes..." He smiled shyly at Niwa. Maybe... Things wouldn't be so bad. Maybe he could make his own friends, to call his own? Laurence Walton's POVHe should punch that smug look off that girl's idiotic face. His fist connected with her lip, while trying not to scream out in pain. He just had to get out of this situation. The boy he had defended earlier was there, too. How grand. She was saying more of her idiotic taunts. Ugh. Great... [Read more] |
