WHEN: 10/8 afternoon
WHERE: Everywhere!
WARNINGS: ┐(´ー｀)┌ Will update if needed.

[sometime in the afternoon, after the student council wraps up for the day, someone takes control of the overhead system. the voice sounds some sort of way, but it starts anyway.]

Good afternoon! I’ve decided to break up the monotony and the dreadful tones we’ve had over this past week with a little game. It’s a scavenger hunt of sorts, because I have information on some of the murders that you all haven’t figured out.

But I’m not going to just give it to you, so you’ll have to participate!

I’ll give you the first clue.

“On the rare occasion that the average detective takes a break, he needs somewhere to store his things. Small, perhaps, but he may have something deadly to hide!”

Let’s see how you do!

[the audio cuts off...

but then a message pops up on the message boards.]

u can help each other out!! but u gotta do a little bit of leg work!! u wont win just by sitting around talking 2 each other on here!!

remember: friendship is magic!!! (˶◕‿◕˶✿)

oh, oh, oh!!

You have until midnight to find me.
Fail, and face erasure of the facts.

[catphone]

reaper creeper

[silentabyss]

well you are creepy ill give you that.

[catphone]

u asked for a hint!! was it helpful???

[silentabyss]

not in the slightest. but i suppose thats your game isnt it?

[catphone]

well i dont want to make it tooooo easy for everyone or else it wont be a very good game right ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

but but but i can try again if u rly want something!!

[silentabyss]

thats fair i guess

ill take another hint though

[catphone]

hm...smth easy peasy...

we met under the wisteria tree not too long ago :)

[does that actually help]

[silentabyss]

[Mentally going through the list of people he spoke to under the tree not too long ago when he was trying to get his sickle out of it...]

that leaves inaba, komaeda, yukio, shepard, and joshua

inaba isnt insane enough for this kind of game. yukio is yukio. [for what that's worth.] shepard is too responsible. [she Mom Voice'd him.] which leaves komaeda, who i know pretty well, and joshua, who i dont know that well.

im not sure its very "hopeful" to erase evidence in a murder case. what do you think?

[catphone]

maybe i just wanted to test everyone. if everyone couldn't make it through the games to get to the bottom of some of the murders, it'd mean that everyone's hope wasn't that strong. right?

i just wanted to raise the stakes a little is all!! but everyone's almost there!! (⁀ᗢ⁀)

[silentabyss]

great. ive got a test for you. humour me.

[he's asking, but not really.]

my Hope. what is it?

[catphone]

hm? is this a way to narrow it down even further?? y would i do that?? maybe u just gotta take a guess!

[silentabyss]

alright joshua where the fuck are you

[komaeda would've gone off on him. komaeda knows.]

[catphone]

ahhhhhh so you made a guess anyway!
you gotta find me, whoever i am.
finish my game (✿˶’◡˘)♡

[silentabyss]

[nope noah just goes into the school and starts kicking down doors]

[catphone]

[damn yo where you at!! he hasn't found him yet, but depending on where he is in the school...]

[silentabyss]

[honestly I have no idea where Josh would be hiding so Noah checks these locations in order: 2-D, 2-B, and the library?? because it sounds like someone's been reading books idk]

[catphone]

[well...he's in neither of those rooms. instead, he's ended up on the roof, so whenever Noah decides that he's going to go up, that's where he's going to be.]

[silentabyss]

[damn i thought i was so smart picking the ethics club room, I am booboo the fool

anyway yeah it takes Noah a bit but he eventually bumbles onto the roof.]

Joshua.

[Here comes the angry teenage boy!]

What's your deal?

[comprises]

[technically he was chillin in there for a little bit, so. you weren't completely wrong!

Joshua blinks when the Angry Teen Boy barge onto the roof, and he puts both hands into his pockets as he turns to him.]

My deal...is it seems like you all have won after all.

[even though his last clue was 100% unhelpful and just meant for a wild goose chase.

even though everything had been a wild goose chase up until this point.]

Welcome, Ebalon-kun.

( komaeda's just sitting off to the side with his legs crossed, don't think too much of him. he just wanted to say hi. )

Hi!

[silentabyss]

[Boy, you know, Noah sure wasn't expecting Komaeda to be here, and it almost makes him falter. Almost.]

What's the point in your little game? Entertainment? You can't let the dead rest peacefully, so you have to tamper with evidence? Stealing my classmate's PDA?

[comprises]

Temper, temper...

[Joshua twirls one of his curls around one of his fingers, looking thoughtfully but somehow still amused at Noah. of course he figured that some would be upset about this...

oh well.]

I wanted to give you all a test. If I had left it as it was, it would've been all too easy. I wanted to test...your hope.

[yeah, he intentionally dropped that word.]

[silentabyss]

[Careful with that word, Komaeda's right there, he's gonna get horny!

That aside.]

For what reason are deaths a game to you people?!

[commences]

( stop, he's already laughing because that sent a shiver down his spine. )

...

( actually... )

How do you feel, Ebalon-kun? If you need to take out your frustrations, I'm sure Kiryuu-kun can handle it!

( claps his hands together like an innocent. )
