"You've got a good head on your shoulders."
He grinned. "Y'know Kubo, for once, I think we can finally agree on something."
"...you're a hell of a lot less arrogant than me." Idris snorted. "Arrogant is kiiinda my middle name, but, agree to disagree on this one."
"Listen carefully, okay? If I'm wrong about anything, I'm trusting you to spot it."
"I'm all ears, Watson. I'm as ready as ever."

🕊️lucian arbred's pov❄️
Lucian's eyes widened, his head jerking slightly to the side. He slowly nodded, listening intently.
"you think it can be done?"
"I'll get into the details once he arrives. For now, we can look for any hidden cameras. I think there's just the one, but we might as well double check."
That was a good idea. You could never be too careful. You could never underestimate what... some people could unfortunately be capable of.
'Oh yoo-hoo Kubo! Your knight in shining armour has ari-ii-ved!'
Knight in... shining armour?
Well. Those were words. That was Idris.
"Well, for once Idris, your princess isn't in another castle. You've got two princesses, and a fake murder plot to plan with them."
Lucian silently looked himself up and down, wondering if either he or Kubo looked like what would qualify as a 'princess'. The very idea was appalling.
But wait. Fake... murder plot?
I think I know where this is going.
"Lucian's part of the plan. I know him pretty well, and I don't think he's secretly orchestrated this whole killing game... so he'll be helping us. I hope that's okay. This whole business is a three person job."
Lucian's heart skipped a beat. Kubo trusted him. He actually trusted him. Although the idea of him being the mastermind did sound a little preposterous. If anyone out there was theorizing about that, he would be very surprised.
"Yeah...he doesn't really look like the 'mastermind' type. Unless he's really good at hiding it, then, props to you Lucian."
He flinched slightly, taken aback, pulling his scarf up over his face. "who would do such a thing?" he exclaimed in wide-eyed horror.
I don't think... even Mei would do that.
Was... Idris really excited about a fake murder plot? Well. It was fake. So... that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. But the idea of Idris being excited sounded odd in his memory.
"So... the identity of the mastermind. I have a good idea, but if we're going to kill someone we better damn well be right. That's why you're here."
He perked up slightly at the sound of that. Kubo had a good idea of who the mastermind was? But.... who?
. . . could it be... that person?
"You've got a good head on your shoulders. You aren't stupid like Setsuna or Darcy and you're a hell of a lot less arrogant than me. If there's a flaw in my theory, you'll catch it. So..."
Okay, ouch. No need to insult everybody. But Kubo did kind of have a point.
"Listen carefully, okay? If I'm wrong about anything, I'm trusting you to spot it."
What was he going to propose? Lucian waited intently with bated breath.
Maybe they could actually pull this off.
Lucian kind of felt like he had just faded into the background as Idris spoke and wondered if there was an actual point to him being involved in this plot. Dang, did he just call Kubo Watson? He called THE ULTIMATE DETECTIVE Watson?
Damn.

Kubo Atsushi
Watson, huh? Well, that was insulting... but Kubo could bite his tongue if it meant nabbing the mastermind.
"Basically," Kubo began. "We're going to lay a trap..." Then he was cut off by the sound of the creaky infirmary door swinging open.
Posted: Mon, 04/11/2024 21:51 (12 Days ago)
Ah... Well, I can work with this.
"What's going on here?" Shi leaned over with a thin smile.

Kubo Atsushi
Kubo's grip tightened on the bedsheets as Shi's blonde head popped into view. That was... maybe one of the worst people who could've shown up to this discussion.
Shi wouldn't, couldn't keep her mouth shut. This was a disaster.
But even so...
"Hey, Shi," Kubo said calmly. "We were just discussing a plan to trap the mastermind. I don't suppose you'd be interested in joining us?"
Who knew how long she'd been listening out the door? It was better to get her on their side, then play dumb and have her run to Miyako and tell her everything she'd heard.
Shi wasn't to be trusted, but at the same time, he was fairly confident she at least wasn't the mastermind. Nobody with eyes as dead as those could've organised something like this. She didn't feel cunning in that way either, certainly not the kind to have planned out something this in-depth. Of course it was stupid to trust intuition, and quite probably she didn't have a speck of loyalty in her, but...
She's not the worst, he reminded himself firmly. You can play her.
Miyako Hiroto
Where was Shi?
Pacing around in their shared dorm, Miyako was beginning to worry, fidgeting with her rings and tying and retying her hoodie strings.
Had Miko intercepted her girlfriend? Hurt her in some way, some horrible way only he knew how?
Shi was too vulnerable... too sweet to Miyako. She might even decide to trust Miko, think that she could reason with her girlfriend's brother, despite what a monster he'd become. She needed her here, right here in her dorm, where she was safe and sound, and Miyako could protect her.

Idris groaned. "Oh curse you Shi. Kubo was right about to get to the good part and you just had to ruin it, didn't you. Could you be a dear and like, piss off, before you interrupt Kubo's wonderful monologue again? Thanks." He scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Do continue, Watson!"
Posted: Mon, 04/11/2024 22:21 (12 Days ago)
"Could you be a dear and like, piss off, before you interrupt Kubo's wonderful monologue again?"
Shi tilted her head. "I'm getting mixed signals."

🕊lucian arbred's pov❄️
It's better to behave politely towards her. Since we've been caught. It's all we can really do.
He nudged Idris gently in the side, giving him a look.
"What Idris meant to say is... he's a bit upset at having been interrupted. He's going through a lot right now. I hope you understand. We'd be more than glad to have you join us."

Kubo Atsushi
Okay, that came close to disastrousness... but thankfully, he had Lucian on his side. What would I do without you? he thought wryly. Die, probably.
Kubo breathed in sharply, then fixed his eyes on Shi and Idris. "I know who the mastermind is. They've made it so obvious, time and time again. The timing, the manipulation, the connection to every killer... it's there. They know too much about too many things."
But...
"But we can't be wrong. We can't kill them with no proof, and have it come back to bite us in the arse. Forgive my Bri*ish," he said wryly. "We need to be careful, meticulous about this. Lay down a trap with two angles to catch them... just on the slightest chance we're wrong."
He closed his eyes, preparing himself... then blinked, turning to the third person in the room. He fixed his eyes on him, and for a second his heart skipped a beat, and something in him screamed, NO NO NO-
"Lucian, we're going to have to fake your death."

"What Idris meant to say is... he's a bit upset at having been interrupted. He's going through a lot right now. I hope you understand. We'd be more than glad to have you join us."
Idris rolled his eyes. "A lot iiiiis kinda an underestimate, but fine. Whatever. You can join, Shi. I'd be...delighted to have you."
"I know who the mastermind is. They've made it so obvious, time and time again. The timing, the manipulation, the connection to every killer... it's there. They know too much about too many things."
Idris nodded along, like he knew it all along, which, of course, he didn't, and he also had absolutely zero idea as to what Kubo was on about.
"But we can't be wrong. We can't kill them with no proof, and have it come back to bite us in the arse. Forgive my Bri*ish,"
Idris stifled a gag. He shuddered.
The British...
"Lucian, we're going to have to fake your death."
Idris breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god. I'd be so crap at faking my death. I've done it before but, I can't lay there, all dead-like. I can't sit still..."

Kubo Atsushi
He's... faked his own death before? Kubo blinked, but reminded himself that he was hardly interested in Idris' life before this killing game. They were allies. That was it. Any potential near-death experiences on Idris' part were not relevant to him.
"Alright," Kubo put his hands on his hips. "The plan is to fake Lucian's death, and while we're in the trial room, Lucian can sneak around and search the hidden tunnels."
He smiled at the three of them.
"You may have noticed I was... away for a bit. I was searching for Darcy, who fell through a hole in the floorboards. There's a suspicious set of tunnels underneath the school. There's a door at the end of all it, which Monokuma seemed oddly concerned about us finding."
Inhaling sharply, Kubo turned to Idris, meeting his eyes.
"I think there's a hidden base where the mastermind monitors the school, because otherwise, how would they know who the killers are? There has to be a place where the recordings are sent, because otherwise, how would they get the chance to review the murder, know who the killer is in time for the trial? That, is what I suspect lies at the end of the tunnel, if not an exit. But we can't check, since Monokuma will stop us if we head down there. No doubt, the only reason we found it to begin with is because we didn't know of its existence. But now that we've seen it, there's no chance to get down there without him standing guard."
That was a mouthful. But on went the monologue.
"There's one person in particular who disappears following the murders, and that's the one I suspect as being the mastermind. But we're going to confirm that theory. We'll lay out an apparent suicide, and lay the body in an inaccessible spot in here, where there are no cameras... but, in another room on camera prior to the murder, have Lucian hide an apparent note before he goes off to our decided room. The note will implicate someone, someone suspicious enough, say... Miko."
Nobody in this room seemed particularly close to him, and Shi, the wild card most likely hated him at this point, so it was a safe name to throw out.
"Meanwhile, during the class trial, we can observe and see who targets Miko with no precedence. Perhaps they'll try and guide us in the 'right direction'... perhaps not. But if they have this note to keep them calm, then Lucian'll get an opportunity to check out the tunnels during the class trial, when no one is monitoring the cameras inside them, and Monokuma is successfully distracted with all the fun in his murder game. And no doubt, there'll be something to implicate the mastermind. And if all else fails, Lucian can review the security footage and see who collects his apparent last note."
Kubo took in a shaky breath and continued before anyone could interrupt him.
"Of course this all hinges on the fact that they don't regularly check the cameras and realise that this one is only playing a loop. And they don't have a security system besides Monokuma monitoring the tunnels. But if we play our cards right, then there should be little suspicion of anything, and the class trial room will probably be the target of all of their security measures. What do you think?"

Kubo Atsushi
Yeah, this really was just a three person job, but now he had to come up with something for Shi...
"Besides monitoring the trial room? Not particularly. But if it comes to it, when we notice somebody who seems to target the person we have chosen as a 'killer', we need to have people available to hold that person down after the execution. And three people are more credible than one, if we have to kill them."
Kubo frowned.
"And... if we must, perhaps we can rig something, manipulate our target." His eyes narrowed. "That's why I'd want to pick Miko. He seems unstable enough, and if we're confident of who the mastermind is, perhaps we can arrange for our own little assassination. Defeat the mastermind, Hope's Peak Style."
