Fate - Trial #1

[John Dark Souls]

"Yes, Togami-san, you are exactly correct. Regardless of what were the means, both new arrivals and original players came from somewhere outside the mansion. And that means, the only difference between the new arrivals and original players is their time of arrival. And following: It means anyone could have brought the murder weapon into the mansion from outside but hide it until current Hagakure's murder. The fact that the murder weapon was used now means that the culprit decided to use it to frame the new arrivals. But, of course, I am not necessarily saying they planned for this from beginning. At start, they might have planned to frame Mastermind by using weapon that came from outside thus making it seem like a murder impossible to any other player or something along those lines. So, I claim exactly the opposite: Culprit is somebody from the original players."

"Like purple hair woman said, the revolver takes a lot of effort in order to rotate the barrel, which contradicts with the the total of five gunshots that we all heard without a doubt. So, how exactly was the person able to shoot the rusty revolver multiple times in order to get through the door?"

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"It seems that most were frozen at the time of shooting, simply listening until the scream."

[John Dark Souls]

"W-would you believe me if I told you that culprit actually materialized a transparent pistol in their hand to shoot 4 initial gunshots and then only shot from the actual rusty revolver one the last one to make everything make no sense..?"



"Of course you won't. Aha... A-ha-ha-ha... *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*"

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"The revolver had one bullet and five blanks before it was taken... and now there is one blank. This corresponds with the five shots we heard."

[King V]

"Not on my watch!"

"All of us original players were brought to the mansion 4 days ago, and like Togami said, escaping the mansion is impossible. Furthermore, when all of us original players arrived, nobody was carrying anything, so there's no way one of us could have hidden a weapon that doesn't exist in the mansion until now! The only way the culprit could be one of the original players is if they had a new player as an accomplice who supplied the weapon that they were hiding when they came into the mansion!"

[King V]

"I believe this murder is turning out significantly more complicated than it should be. Let's review the basics. Hagakure was killed in his room. The culprit used the rusty revolver to shoot through the lock in order to open the door. They then used a rusty knife to stab Hagakure in the chest and kill them. As previously mentioned, both of these weapons are not originally from the mansion. The only explanation I can think of for this is that one of the new players brought the weapon into the mansion when they arrived. Whether that person is the culprit or an accomplice remains to be seen, but seeing as the murder most likely took place in a matter of minutes, I'm more inclined to believe that whoever brought the weapons into the mansion is the culprit."

"I don't have any idea who could have brought the weapons here, so I cannot determine a culprit. Perhaps one of the new players could share their insight on this matter."

[John Dark Souls]

"Yes, yes, I already know that you can just prove facts convenient to you just like that... But, Satori-san. Can you please tell me, who do you mean by your "All of us original players" that you mentioned whole 2 times exactly? Go through the names one by one please."

[King V]

"All of us original players refers to myself, Rin, Togami, Kirigiri, Hagakure, and a few others who died over the last 4 days. All of us were brought to the mansion 4 days ago, unlike all of you new players who arrived just yesterday."

[yaes]

"It's alright Girl A-ccomplice, you no longer need to keep this farce up, since after all...



I was behind everything.

"I brought weapons into this mansion, after which I took my nice sweet time making preparations. For example, I turned off the power to the mansion. All of this was a little setup all on my part, I thought we needed to have a little bit of fun in this gloomy place. But instead, what do I see? Discussions about random portals, shampoo, and new vs old? That's not fun at all.

I shot the rusty revolver, and everything was all part of my plan to just have a little fun.

So now that I've cleared things up, let's get this show over with. I await my judgement, mister Mastermind person.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

"Soooooooo...... what do we do...... now?"

[John Dark Souls]

"E-e-emil-saaaan?!?! Wait! But... But this makes no sense! But..."



"BUT! You only mentioned yourself bringing the weapons and shooting the revolver and not killing Hagakure-san! So that does not make you the culprit! I don't know what your TRUE PURPOSE is, but I am not gonna allow you to throw this trial off it's RIGHT course!"

[yaes]

"Right right, and your 'true course' is to discuss shampoo and portals. You can think what you like, after all, I have no alibi, since I set up the perfect chance to do all of this myself. Not sure what more you want from this childish trial after I already admitted to doing everything."

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"Yes, yes, we are well aware that you admitted to doing everything as you had just done so. The problem here is whether you had actually done as you imply."

[John Dark Souls]

"Wrong! All you admitted doing was shooting a bullet through door lock in order to mask the lock already being broken before that! Both gunshots and the scream following them were not signs of when the murder took place, they were all your plan to throw off the actual murder time! Thus all alibis established for when the gunshots sounded off are false! Emil-san, why did you do something like that?!"
