...THE FOURTH VICTIM?

[monoguests]

[Friday, Friday, gotta get down on...well, there's nothing to get down to, considering the music has stopped. There seems to be a distinct lack of Shadow Bugs too - has the threat of a murder been carried out?

Well, it can't hurt to check. Those who go by the showers will hear the sound of faint running water, and there seems to be...something in front of the Pokemon Center.]

[Shadow confirms Alastor's description with a nod] Sorry to disappoint. But I've been told that the resemblance is uncanny. That must make you... Clarice? Have you been here all along?

... Goomba. [he quirks a brow ridge, then looks down at the goo....mba.] Kind of hard to tell that it's anything, to be honest.

[monoguests]

Yeah, I've been... uh, literally here, and ---

Wait, you're the hedgehog, so you're the motorcycle guy.

[superstylishschism]

I...uh...think it was squished. He was squished? Do mushrooms even have genders?

Anyway, it looks like it used to match the picture on the student profile card Luigi found, so...

[chaoscontrol]

... I don't think they do.

[he blinks at Clarice] Um. Yes? You mean, the person who drew the motorcycle on the DS, right? My name is Shadow, actually.

[monoguests]

Yeah, that's exactly who I meant! ...Wow, though, you were not the kinda guy I was expecting at all.

[chaoscontrol]

I'm sure you were expecting someone taller. I get that a lot.

[monoguests]

...Kind of, yeah. Wait, do they make hedgehog-sized motorcycles in your world?

[chaoscontrol]

Actually, most motorcycles except for the really big ones I can use. My arms are plenty long enough. But I have a custom one. My bike is... here for some reason, actually. In the garage in the cold world.

[monoguests]

...Woah.

That's pretty neat-o.

[chaoscontrol]

I can show it to you later, even thought it doesn't work. Right now we need to find any dead bodies that may be lying around. Besides uh... that. But first... just how long have you been here, Clarice?

[monoguests]

I mean...it's been a while. Kinda hard to keep track of time. This place doesn't exactly want to help a girl out with that, you know?

[chaoscontrol]

No, I suppose it doesn't. You... aren't in our student handbooks. Were you also brought here to play a murder game by that foul bicolored bear?

[monoguests]

...Ohhhh, yeah. Been there, done that. That's...kind of what he does, isn't it.

[chaoscontrol]

[!!!] So you survived the game! Please, can you tell me about it? Who was involved? Did he ever give you any reasons?
