WEEK 3 INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

Three weeks had gone by, and even with the other Witch being revealed, Friday came.

Waking up on this day began to feel like the prelude to something horrible.

To a horrible sight...and some kind of deep betrayal, knowing that one of them had ended the lives of someone they'd been speaking and laughing with just the day before...🗈

...But, they had no choice. This was the game, and it had to be played - set in motion by the pair of Witches.

No matter how they felt, they had to search, to gaze upon cruel death in it's many forms.

No matter....how dear the person once was to them, today...they would be nothing but a corpse to gleam clues from, in preparation for the trial.

And so...they had to push forward. Forward...to find a terrible truth.

I think Ryuji seemed like a pretty friendly guy -- and he was easy to see coming, 'cause he was loud. Horns was a little harder to pin down. Your project... did it have anything to do with the books?

[He gives a brief hum as he thinks that over.]

I guess he liked the balcony. Does that mean somebody had a grudge against him...

My project? No, honestly my last trip through them kinda scared me off messing with them for now. It's on the computers.

As for Akira and Ryuji... I can't think of anyone that would here. For all we know someone just startled them and they fell: Watanuki already told us accidents count as murder here.

That's a pity, they're all really interesting and it's kind of refreshing to get off the island for a bit. Are you programming something interesting for the Game?

[He just looks either amused or a little bemused or both.]

There's definitely at least a couple of people who would, and one person who has. I wonder what happens if the murderer is already dead?

[goldenmaniac]

Good question. We should probably ask Watanuki-san.

And... it sorta is? Might be? I'd rather not get into details yet, just in case.

[He's definitely hiding something, but it seems like his intentions are exactly as he says]

[anonnomnomnom]

Wonder if he's woken up yet...

[At least his riceball is still timeline compliant. What the hell else is happening to this chronology I really have no idea.]

That's fine, though, I wouldn't bother asking for details yet, anyway. I'm sure I'll find out.

[Unsure if that's a threat or just a cheeky sort of warning.]
