MINI-EVENT DISCUSSION TIME [open]

WHO: Everyone!!
WHEN: April 25th, 6PM
WHAT: Who wants to talk about ~murder~?

[There's a strong part of Kokichi that wants to keep everything he's figured out to himself, especially knowing the "winner" of this mystery will gain a ton of bonus points that could throw a serious wrench into his plans. He tends to work alone, after all.

But fortunately, there's a louder, more pragmatic part that knows everyone needs to come together. Whatever the game is here, no rules have been given. It doesn't seem like they're gonna force everyone together to figure things out. And maybe that's the point – no forced teamwork this time around, a prize to discourage people from working together. This whole setup seems designed to have them all working against each other.

Well, fuck that. The status quo is just gonna get more people killed. It's time to herd some cats and get everyone on the same page. If nothing else, it's a way to learn anything others might have figured out, and a chance to see who here has a working brain.]


--–

[Every transfer student will find an unsigned note in their lockers that reads "transfer students meeting @ 6pm 4/25 in classroom 2-C".

When they arrive at the set location and time, they'll find extra desks have been shoved in from other classrooms so there's seating for everyone. On the chalkboard, written in big bubble letters, is "SUPER FUN MURDER DISCUSSION PARTY TIME!!" with some goofy doodles around the edges. This is very serious, guys. One corner of the room has a square taped off on the floor with a single desk situated inside it, a sign taped to it reading "Crazy Containment Zone". A piece of paper on the desk says "reserved for Komaeda".

No one takes credit for organizing everything. But regardless, it's time to have a discussion.]



((HOW THIS WORKS:

- This post is a free for all! Feel free to start your own threads to discuss any clue/topic/theory/random outburst you want. Jump into any thread anywhere, no need to keep things tidy and continuous. This is gonna be a big group crammed into a classroom all talking at once, so just embrace the chaos.

- Please let the people who discovered clues OOCly be the ones to reveal them ICly! You can assume things have already been explained for the sake of discussing other clues and proposing theories and whatnot, just please don't steal anyone's thunder when it comes to explaining the things their characters figured out!

That's it! Let me know if you have any other concerns or guidelines to consider adding, just shoot me a PM or hit me up on plurk or discord! Have fun!))

W-well...

[maybe......... they're a germaphobe? and just had them on??

maybe it was actually the janitor???

maybe Clamor just really, really doesn't want to believe a kid premeditated a murder]


... I'm just saying, we should consider all of the possibilities until we've confirmed anything.

Someone being dead is good because look around you.

( he's nodding. )

If they didn't die, we wouldn't have all come together like this. ( as insane as that sounds. ) There's new opportunities for us now, and secrets that's slowly showing itself because someone died. ( let him look natsume dead in the eyes. )

Like the body in the pipes.

...S-Sorry.

[ because he honestly can't even say everyone here will leave hiro alone just yet, but. ]

Perhaps it's none of my business... It's just, I think you should trust him until the end. No matter what happens, he'll still hear you out.

I agree, but that means not letting sentimental feelings get in the way of seeing the truth either.

Perhaps this murderer was forced into doing this. But...we also need to accept the possiblity this was a pre-meditated murder done in cold blood.

I hope so...

... But, I wouldn't have to hope if I'd just kept the thing about the knife to myself instead of thinking I could trust people I considered friends to not be big fat blabbermouths! [nope right back to angy again]

( this is why he said he could understand, in a roundabout way, what komaeda was on about -

and he doesn't like it, and he doesn't agree with it -

but results are results. natsume leans against his hand, staring right back. )


...The body in the pipes would have been found regardless because I had a HUNCH, and the little bunny and I followed IT. ( it's just a footnote for now anyway. a fingernote actually- ) Let me make this clear: the loss of life is not GOOD, but the act of people finding something to focus their attentions on IS. But it could have been anyTHING. Some mysterious happeNING, or some revelation brought about by talking to the students willing to begrudge us their TIME.

( it didn't have to be murder. it Was murder, but it didn't have to be... natsume leans back, moving his hand up to rub his temple with a sigh. )

I won't deny that "someone died" is the quickest way to get people together THOUGH. There's a reason some families reconnect once someone in them passes aWAY, and they choose to attend that person's funeRAL... That's essentially how the games of werewolf and mafia work too - no one wants to be the next to DIE, so they work together to suss out whoever it is that is against THEM. Not that I'm saying we're in the direct line of danGER.

[ but okay, hold on, he's thinking about it. calm down, shuichi.

... ]


...You're right.

[ he's not gonna say she's wrong to be angry, but... he gets kind of lost for a second, like he's remembering something too. ]

It's just... sometimes, a choice can seem like the best at the time. And you won't be able to know... that it wasn't... until you've made it.
closewithnewintown: (I tripped on my ankle)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-04-15 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
... And then you can't unmake it. You can only say you're sorry and do better.

[and until she gets a sorry, she still angy. but, not at shuichi.]

... Sorry for spooking you. Here. [she holds out the Jerky Piece of Forgiveness. it has been in many hands and is very gross and she does not want it.]

With much reGRET, the death of one person will not bring anyone BACK, nor will it do anything but make those hurt feel better for a short time as they revel in their moral superoriTY, while another family mourns another's LIFE. We've left such barbaric times behind in the days of YORE, Gawain-san, for better or for WORSE.

( ... )

As optimistic as it may BE, I believe that most people can be redeemed - and redemption begins with an commitment to do betTER, not by being SLAIN. It's ridiculous to think that everyone who commits a crime will feel bad about it of COURSE, but that's on THEM. The grand majority of people do feel a level of guilt about doing something that hurts or put others at RISK, even if they perceived their act to be necessaRY.

If they're unremorseFUL, then FINE. But considering the perpetrator has a high chance of being someone my AGE, I doubt they're completely okay with what they've DONE, premeditated or NOT.

We're not accusing anyone yet, and that includes Hiro. [y...et. a big yet, but] Regardless of who did it or what their reasoning was... right now, he's our only lead. He may have seen something. If we don't talk to him, what do we have left to work with?

I'm sorry, Stephanie, but we do need to talk to him. I think you'd have the best chance out of all of us of getting through to him... we don't want to scare him.

...I'm sorry, Stephanie.

[Ritsuka doesn't even try to give Stephanie an excuse. She clearly needs to let it all out.]

Jun, I know some of the most horrible murderers on the planet. They're my coworkers.

And I'm a murderer myself.

I have a sense for it, and I can say this with absolute certainty that Hiro is not our culprit. If you don't believe me, fine, but I'll fight tooth and nail to find a way to prove that he isn't.
closewithnewintown: (while the wheels in my head)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-04-15 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... You scared him. That's why he ran. He doesn't even like talking about anything, let alone something like this.

[and the fact that he physically can will remain a secret now because she no longer trusts you hoes!!!!]
tempingforatlas: (Terse)

[personal profile] tempingforatlas 2021-04-15 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. I... definitely could've handled that better.

Looking at what I wrote, I sound a bit nuts, don't I. No wonder he got spooked.

[YEAH YOU DEFINITELY DID RITSUKA.]
closewithnewintown: (feels like I’m tumbling)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-04-15 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
... You do realize it's way too late for that, right.

Right now, we'll be lucky if his sister doesn't come beat us up for getting near him again. [have y'all seen maya? steph has seen maya.]

( a footnote, hm, do they have an outside — inside source? either way, it's lucky for others at this rate, but komaeda's curious. information he'll make a mental note of as he continues their conversation. )

It depends on why the life is lost, some losses are meant to help everyone! ( here's that charismatic smile of his, ) Like now, this one has to be for hope. Why would someone do it if not for that, or maybe they mourned their friend and thought it was the correct method. Either way, both sides have their reasons for doing what they're doing, and that's to find the light called hope towards the end.

( he's not willing to change his mind from that idea, he's way too focused on the fact that this is hope. to see people go this far in order to protect themselves, and for the people who did the deed to do this for whatever reason. it's all hope, everything that they're doing is for good. )

To some, this may look like a stroke of bad luck, but for others.. this is good. For me, it only adds up the list of good things and makes me wonder what bad luck will be around the corner. ( but this isn't about him, this is about everyone else in the group. ) Bonds are being formed, and we're not even related by blood. Not like that matters.

...okay, fair, but I was talking about right now because honestly the quickest way to shut him [she nods at "Dantes"] down is to go "yes, and?" when he asks you about something like that.

None of you guys are gonna have to see him in class almost every day...

[personal profile] tempingforatlas 2021-04-15 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Stephanie.

Just like I know that Hiro isn't he culprit, I know he wouldn't resent you. He cares about you more than he'd care to admit.

[ stephanie is In Luck! shuichi's an absolute pushover, so he takes it and even thanks her while holding it awkwardly.

...

anyway. ]


...I'm sure Fujimaru-san will apologize too. Ah, maybe... after all of this is over, we can all write a note.

[ you know. in the happy scenario where hiro's not guilty and nobody's harassing him about it anymore, and also they all make it out of this with their lives. ]

You don't know him. I don't know him. None of us know anything! Nobody knows anything except whoever brought us here! They probably already know who did the killings and just wanna see us suffer over it!
closewithnewintown: (are filled with disappointment)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-04-15 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[lips quirk] He's not deaf, you know. You can just talk to him, even if he doesn't talk back with words.

[pause]

The little words some of you put on the ends of names. What do those mean?
tempingforatlas: (Default)

[personal profile] tempingforatlas 2021-04-15 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
But you know him enough to trust him. Which means that I trust him too.
