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!))

If it isn't them and the culprit is doing this for us, doesn't that make the person you spoke to even more suspicious?

( a thoughtful hum as he taps his nails against the desk. )

[tempingforatlas]

...wait, where did you get the impression the culprit was doing all this for us?

[mermaidcursed]

He's not okay right now and has some really weird ideas going on...

[tempingforatlas]

That's Edmond Dantes for you.

i'm crying help

[mermaidcursed]

...Ah? That's... his name is Komaeda-

[tempingforatlas]

Trust me, The Count uses aliases all the time, but I know him better than anyone. He's definitely Edmond Dantes.

Probably.

Unless he's Sherlock upping his disguise game, in which case bravo, but also I'm going to punch him at my soonest convenience for pulling this nonsense again.

[mermaidcursed]

( x to doubt )

[obsessiveness]

[ --yeah he can't ignore this weirdass convo either ]

I'm sorry but are you like, out of your mind right now? I know this murder mystery is already getting to people but I'm pretty sure he's not doing Monte Cristo references as far as I know. Did you even go to an actual high school?

THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY TRUE KOMAEDA'S DESIGNER MADE THE COUNT TOO IN FGO

[tempingforatlas]

Oh, I know the actual Count of Monte Cristo and they look exactly the same.

And have really similar personalities, honestly. Really, he's basically like a version of the Count who isn't all hopped up on the Treasure of Monte Cristo and the associated revenge juice and all the character development.

So probably a Lily version.

[Sorry, Izumi. This is just Ritsuka's life.]

i know i play fgo too

[obsessiveness]

[ just

a flat look. no, he's not buying it and he doesn't look amused either. what is with this school attracting all sorts of weirdos outside the five oddballs + leo anyway..... ]

I literally have no idea what you just said. Can you not derail this entire discussion, please? I hate protecting that guy as it is, but that doesn't mean I'd have to tolerate incoherent bullshit from other people either.

[tempingforatlas]

I wasn't derailing? I was just explaining how I know him.

...although I will admit I haven't gone to high school for more than two years.

[commences]

--Dantes Edmond.

[tempingforatlas]

Yep.

...wait, you usually never actually admit it. Now that's suspicious.

[commences]

It's called reverse psychology, Fujimaru-san.

[tempingforatlas]

You know, now that the jig is up, you might as well start calling me your accomplice like you usually do.

Honestly, looking at you there's a solid chance you're actually a Lily. [Ritsuka leans forward, squinting at him.] Considering how the school messed with Gawain when I summoned him, I wouldn't be too surprised.

[mermaidcursed]

Now you're just being difficult, go back to your corner.

[commences]

( he's sliding saihara's desk over to the ccz. he's going back. )

[mermaidcursed]

( SIGHS, TOSSES HIM A CANDY FROM HER POCKET BC SHE'S GOING TO AGGRESSIVELY NOT GIVE UP ON HIM. )

[commences]

While you were absent! Everyone had a discussion of how they may be on our side, and there's hope at the end of this dark tunnel.

( with a smile, he stares at her face to see how confused she is. )

I can't believe you were gone so long.. you weren't plotting a murder, were you?

[tempingforatlas]

If I was plotting a murder, believe me, somebody would already be dead.

[loyalbreed]

!

[nortonnnn]

...?

( just... looking at her. )

[contrarily]

( rubs chin like a very thoughtful gremlin )

[unsurely]

Ah... Fujimaru-san, someone... is already dead. That's sort of the issue.

[ not to play devil's advocate, but. ]

[tempingforatlas]

...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.
