MINI-EVENT DISCUSSION TIME [open]

[trialbyliar]

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!))

Oh, I guess you wouldn't know yet. The thing is, I'm actually a liar!

[His smile turns into a smirk, and suddenly he seems a whole lot less cute and innocent.]

And as a liar, I'm good at telling when other people are lying. And I'm preeeettyyyy sure cute little Stephanie-chan is lying right now.

[closewithnewintown]

-- Wait, what have you been lying about? [SHE CAN'T EVEN FOCUS ON THE ACCUSATION WHAT IS THIS]

[trialbyliar]

Hm? Oh, I lie about a lot of things. I can't be expected to remember all of them!

[No shame whatsoever.]

[closewithnewintown]

Wh-- That's awful! You're as cuckoo as he is! [GESTURES AT YOU KNOW WHO]

[trialbyliar]

Wh-what? That's so mean... Just because I have a compulsive lying problem, you're calling me crazy...?

[An asshole, maybe. But the "crazy" part is debatable.

And this is the part where he stars tearing up.]

I mean, a really bad person would hide that problem so they could trick you all. I-I'm just trying to be upfront about it...

[closewithnewintown]

Wow. I didn't know eyes could lie! No wonder you're the ultimate supreme pizza, or whatever.

[trialbyliar]

[Oh god. Here come the waterworks.]

Y-you're such a jerk!! I-I'm just trying to solve the mystery, a-and you're the one acting suspicious, but you're j-just bullying me to save yourself...!

[closewithnewintown]

You started it! You're just mad because I'm not the one crying now! [THIS MAY CHANGE AT ANY MOMENT]

[trialbyliar]

[His wailing only gets louder and more dramatic.]

A-all I did was offer to help with your homework...!

[closewithnewintown]

Good luck trying to get the disguise back on after it fell off! That never works.

[trialbyliar]

[And the tears instantly stop. Wow.]

Oh, you mean like your disguise of a good, honest girl?

[closewithnewintown]

I'm--

[just. crosses her arms to keep herself from waving them around.]

No one asked you! You're a villain!

[trialbyliar]

That's true. But it doesn't change the fact that you lied. So what were you so desperate to hide that you'd lie during a murder investigation?

[It certainly seems suspicious... Is keeping the secret really so important it's worth risking being a suspect...?]

[closewithnewintown]

... I don't care what happens to me. I won't get anyone else in trouble.

[delightfully vague]

[trialbyliar]

Oh, so not only are you hiding something, but you had an accomplice?

[CONFESS CONFESS CONFESS]

[closewithnewintown]

You're not actually a police officer, you know. I don't actually have to say anything to you.

[commences]

funky dantes back at it again

[loyalbreed]

[ Judgmentally stares in agreement also. ]

[crystallomancy]

You and I have that in comMON. I doubt Little Bunny here has anything to do with the murder we're here to discuss howeVER, so why don't we focus on that and ask about the bombing situation laTER?

( :) )

It's prudent for use to spend our time wiseLY, Liar-kun. Every second we spend on unnecessary discussion is another second where a murderer is getting away with a terrible crime enacted on an innocent young woMAN. Isn't that SO?

[trialbyliar]

What makes you so sure it's not related to the murder? I mean, there was a human finger floating around right before a body was discovered! That's a pretty crazy thing to just be a coincidence!

[Sounds like someone knows something.]

And besides that...who said anything about a bombing? I'm pretty curious now what this "bombing" you're referring to is.

[crystallomancy]

Explosions are typically side-effects of BOMBS, Liar-kun. Or are you so wrapped up in harassing innocents that you've forgotten something so baSIC?

( he can do this all day, kokichi...... )

RegardLESS, following the assumption the finger is related to the explosion that occurred last week due to both where Senku-san said he found it and the condition it was IN, it would have been two days before a body in the auditoriUM. The timing is enough to ensure it has nothing to do with the murder we're currently investigaTING, though it does mean another murder has occurred at some POINT.

[trialbyliar]

How can you be so sure it's unrelated? I mean, we still don't know when our victim was killed, just when her body showed up. Maybe the culprit blew off their own finger by accident and we just don't know how it's related yet!

[crystallomancy]

Except the blowing off happened post-mortem - as IN, the body it belongs to was already deCEASED. Sorry to disappoint YOU.

[trialbyliar]

Maybe the culprit killed two people and the murders are linked. Why are you so eager to dismiss any possibility this could be related to the case? Shouldn't we consider every angle?

[crystallomancy]

I just don't see how it IS, but if you seem to be deadset on assuming it may BE, then FINE.

( a small shrug. )

But don't harass the little bunny over IT. She's already stressed enough from the murder thing we have going on here; adding onto it with a bunch of inane questions isn't going to HELP.
