☆ WEEK ONE ( TRIAL - DAY ONE )

[raisingproject]

Trial Day #1

Saturday, Week 1

Victim

Suspects

Rise and shine, sleepyheads. At exactly 8 AM, characters will be automatically teleported into the world similar to their Magical Phones which lies underneath the hotel, where they'll find food being served for them of all varieties, primarily Japanese. For those who wish to make a request for a change of menu, they only need speak to Fav.

Once everyone finds themselves settled the mascot will suddenly appear with a flash to make an announcement.

"For the next two days, we will be discussing the death of Dia Kurosawa, also known as Diamondere, pon! You will have a break for dinner and sleep and then the trial will continue tomorrow morning! If you have any questions in regards to this trial, please feel free to let me know, and I'll try to answer it to the best of my abilities, pon! Of course, you're not allowed to ask me who the culprit is, because that would be unfair. So make sure to find the culprit and execute them properly, pon! You wouldn't want to kill an innocent person, would you?"

And now, on their magical phones, characters will finally be able to find the autopsy report as the discussion begins. At 8 PM, everyone will be dismissed to have dinner and go back to their rooms.

[breakingthrough]

It would have been nice to know you were going to use me as a suspect.

[Yet it's said in a very dry, almost bored fashion. Well it's not like anything can be done bout it anyway, so here they are.]

[mikooon]

I suppose, other than two people, I wouldn't expect anyone to murder... and one of them, other than you, is someone I haven't talked to much.

[So much for their Social Link Rank 1, Zack, she still thinks you can totally do murder. However, she also recognizes that Zack probably doesn't think badly of Dia, and-- let's be real here, if he was gonna kill anyone, it was gonna be Tamamo. Herself.

Though, that's all circumstantial. So she doesn't say it out loud.]

If we are to trust this list, then... I suppose it's time to start narrowing down. I see Fav has had the grace to make an alibi.

[breakingthrough]

Oh? So you're saying I seem like someone who'd kill?

[She doesn't seem offended. If anything she seems kind of amused.]

Either way, yes... I believe the alibis could help us, provided they're truthful.

[mikooon]

Girls are the most dangerous of predators!

[Tamamo knows this as the truth.]

But, I'll wait to make my judgments when the people who investigated earlier say their pieces.

[breakingthrough]

Fair enough. So. Let's have a little story time then.

[She has to make sure there are no foolish mistakes made here after all.]

Seraphim are spirits that are incredibly weak to malevolence-- greed, sin, murder... things like that are born in humans all the time. Seraphim are weak to it, and if we should be tainted with it... we become dragons.

[...something about the way she said that last line seems to indicate it's a touchy subject.]

The fact that I'm standing here before you like this is a testament to my very character.

[mikooon]

[i just played tales of berseria mmmm i aint ok fam

Anyway! Tamamo nods along.] I see. I'm afraid I can't quite take your word for it exactly, since I've never heard of Seraphim in my life, but since Zack claims that he saw you and he has no reason to lie, I'll accept it for now.

[Wait, so that kind of-- narrows it down to Eruna, Moeka and that moe dude. And she doesn't think Eruna has anything to do with the murder even remotely, so...]

[breakingthrough]

[no one is okay i feel u fam]

Well I guess that's good enough. Still, you all might as well know. But it's only fair everyone know I'm not just some magical human.

[zackthekiller]

One problem with that theory.

Since the blob bastard took away everyone's powers and weapons, it's not that much of a stretch to assume it took your dragon curse too.

Not that I think you did anything, since I actually saw you with the bones, but...

[Wait a sec...]

Hey, wasn't the murder weapon a bone?

[He wandered off early to play with Eliza's bowtie.]

[breakingthrough]

My body would still be that of a dragon. Dragons lose all sense of self. And there is no way to turn a dragon back to it's normal form.

[...]

I should know. My brother is one.

[ENOUGH OF THAT UNHAPPY BULLSHIT.]

...right. But it came from the ones in the closet in that room, right?

[mikooon]

Ah, yes! Edna, you were the person who found where the bone came from, right? I heard from Eliza.

[..................]

Well-- I mean, that makes things a little more suspicious. But! Who were you with at the time?

[breakingthrough]

There was a large group of us that broke in together. Recette and Eruna stayed together in the hall while I busted down the door. Taiki, Beyond Birthday and I all went in.

But to be precise, I saw the bone missing. I didn't actually find the bone. That dog did, from what I heard.

[zackthekiller]

You mean the dog that turned into a coin?

[breakingthrough]

Yes. I only found the family of skeletons much later after we broke into the room. One was missing a femur.

[mikooon]

I see...

[Okay, well. Other than the... whole coin thing. Let's not think on that.]

A family of skeletons in the closet... other than the whole rather unpleasant implications behind that, that means that the door was jammed, right? With what, exactly?

[zackthekiller]

Look, Edna, I'm pretty sure I came by while you were fixing those bones, and Eliza can back me up on that bowtie thing.

I don't see why I'm even on this list since I knew Dia was one of the most helpful people in this place. I mean, she set up meetings to try and help get us out of this place for God's sake!

[For the record, Tamamo is correct about the killer thing. However, if this was his doing, there wouldn't be a botched frame job and the crime scene would certainly look a lot messier.]

[He's not gonna admit to that unless it must come up, though.]

[breakingthrough]

Yeah. I had to spend four hundred candy on my arte-- It wasn't easy keeping up with a price like that. Besides... if that's the only way to get out like the fish says, I figured I should try to earn as much as I can.

[She's grateful for the backup. But there's another good point here--]

You would think we all would have recognized that. If we should have kept anyone around, it should have been her. No one else seemed interested in taking up the mantle of guiding this ragtag band of merry men. She seemed like a force to be reckoned with-- but at least she was trying her best to get everyone out safely.

[Edna doesn't seem to be happy about her dying.]

[mikooon]

...Four hundred candy...!

[Tamamo notes that number down.]

Well, if Dia hadn't died, there's no guarantee you wouldn't have showed up on the bottom of the listing.

[Which is to say: "If no one had died, you'd be dead from having the lowest candy count." But Tamamo won't voice any suspicions beyond that.]

But, yes. It was someone who perhaps wanted the competent thinker out of the way-- which makes sense, seeing that they're trying to get away with murder. However, they didn't realize that I am also on the case!

[stfu tamamo]

[breakingthrough]

No. I did enough tasks not only to replenish that which I spent but add almost another two hundred. I wasn't taking any risks. I was busy.

[...tamamo...]

Well then. I guess it's good we have you around to sniff out the clues, Fido.

[EDNA....]

[mikooon]

[EITWBGIUWHTIUWIRUHWRHIUR]

Excuse me?! I am a fox, not a filthy dog!

[OFFENSE TAKEN]

[breakingthrough]

Do foxes have sharp senses?

[Listen. It was a compliment.

Maybe. Probably???]

[mikooon]

Yes, in all senses! Touch, hearing, smell, thinking!

[Sure, Tamamo...]

[breakingthrough]

Ah! The sixth sense?! You have it?

[She sounds downright baffled. She is absolutely teasing, but she goes the whole ten yards to make it seem genuine. Because that's the joke.]

Then it a good thing we didn't lose you.

[zackthekiller]

[That explains why Tamamo hated being called a bitch.]

I think she's talking about the mutt Recette found. You know, the one that apperently turned into a coin?

[mikooon]

[SHE HATES DOGS...

However, she also doesn't like thinking so much about how people insult her, so.]

...Alright... turned into a coin, sure, whatever. Just don't make it sound like you're calling ME a 'Fido'!

[buylowsellhigh]

Yeah, Copper turned into a copper coin after he led me to the building. It was super weird!

[Someone hasn't told her about the dogs from the task.]
