THE THIRD VICTIM

[monoguests]

[Three days have passed since the last appearance of our beloved counselor. Three days and if the pattern is any indication, there's going to be another murder.

The music has stopped, which is ominous enough. But the campers might not be immediately clueless this time around. It seemed to have snowed again on Thursday night, and there's a set of footprints leading up to World 3's secret base.

Shall we take a look?]

[Well, this sure does seem bad.

While Luigi is getting the gist of it by this point, he would feel kind of guilty if he did anything besides follow the footprints, so he's going to do just that.]

[monoguests]

[There's a few faint snowy footprints leading into the secret base, but they largely seem to fade away afterwards. Seems like they were neat enough to wipe their feet, at least.]

[tsungeonsanddragons]

[OH COME ON. SERIOUSLY?! Betrayus is dead! Who the hell else would commit a murder?

...ugg. Maybe this is just another one of the bear's pranks. Still, better treat it with some level of seriousness. Just in case. Unsure of what to expect, Clair heads for the garage.]

[monoguests]

[Up for some go-kart racing, Clair? There's nothing off-putting here.]

[fitnessenthusiast]

[She was excited for another day of fitness. She really really was.

And then she noticed the lack of music. Even she can see a pattern.

She reluctantly heads toward the secret base, following the footprints. Please not the Fitness Center. Please not there.]

[Your haven is safe, Wiitney. Go on and do some yoga, darling cinnamon roll.]

[superstylishschism]

[No music again? So it hadn't been enough...that, or someone had a grudge anyway. Well, he'll look around outside first...starting with the skating rink.]

[monoguests]

[No, Alastor. There's nobody buried under the ice. Unless you count Jack Dawson, but this is not Titanic Ronpa.]

[sunflowerfields]

[Hinawa learned her lesson last week. She's not going anywhere near World 3 right now.

And she's, ya know, just gonna hope and pray this is nothing. Please let it be nothing.]

[Another day, another possible murder...Honestly, couldn't they just have a normal Friday for once?]

[Yomiel gets out of his cabin, noticing how quiet it is - people must have gone and left to check things out, huh? He can do so, too. He decides to check around the cabins, see if there's anything out of the ordinary.]

[monoguests]

[Huh, well there seems to be notes pinned on to every cabin door.]

Location 1 - Computer Lab

[despairection]

[You can't even look up porn to get your mind off the sad thing that happened. Truly the deepest despair.]

[fitnessenthusiast]

[Alright fine. She was going to avoid this whole mess and yoga it out, but at the sound of the announcement, she can't help but drift toward the sounds of murder and despair.

Let's just get it over with. She sees the entrance to the lab, but having never been here before, assumes that was always there. What else is in here?]

Location 2 - Eggman Factory

[despairection]

[THE STORY BEGINS, BUT WHO'S GOING TO WIN, KNOWING THE DANGER THAT LIES WITHIN]

Re: Location 2 - Eggman Factory

[superstylishschism]

[Taking a look at that gear...]

[chaoscontrol]

[It's a good thing he's feeling more himself. Time to explore this lab. In his sweater. With his tea. Even though he's not familiar with it, he's familiar with how Eggman operates, having worked... closely with him. He looks for a computer terminal.]

Location 3 - Party Room

[despairection]

[Well, I guess it's more of a wake room now.]

AREA CLEAR

[despairection]

[BUT I GUESS IF YOU'RE NOT INVESTIGATING YOU COULD HANG OUT HERE???]

Location 4 - Outside Area

[despairection]

[But since we've no place to go...]

[green_mario]

[Well, since there were footprints outside maybe there will be more evidence outside? Luigi is going to check the surrounding area around the secret base, first of all.]

Location 5 - Cabins

[despairection]

[Cabin in the camp, yea-aah....]

[sunflowerfields]

[Upon hearing the announcement, Hinawa dashes from her cabin and conveniently leaves her student handbook behind. There's more important things to do than look at pictures on the screen- she has to make sure everyone is okay!]
