"What else can you tell me about this strange game in which you and everyone were forced to play?"
"Me and everyone else who were important in our world's goverments were kidnapped by the person called F and gave us motives to kill each other."
"What else can you tell me about the others? The survivors, and the ones who died?"
"There were 16 of us in total."
------------------------------------
F: The Killing Game Prologue
"....Ugh...my head...huh?"
The person who just woke up from what appeared to be a deep sleep opened his eyes.
He wasn't actually a human. He appeared to be a anthropomorphic fish man, who had blue skin, red eyes, two fin shaped ears, pretty muscular and wearing black pants with shoes. The fish man was known as Sidra Harpo, from Universe 12.
Sidra was laying on the floor, slowly regaining consciousness. He looked around and found himself in a empty white room. It definitely wasn't his own house.
The fish man immediately got up, his confusion turning quickly to agitation and fear as he examined the room he was in.
"What the?...Where am I? This...this isn't my house. How the hell did I get here? What's going on? Tch, this better not be a damn joke. Cause this ain't funny." Sidra asked.
Sidra decided to inspect the room he was in, hoping to get a clue about where he was.
He looked at where the windows should be and most of them were blocked by some large metal plates and they don't look very easy to pull off the windows.
Sidra walked up to the metal plates.
"...Hm, no chance of escaping through the windows...but if I'm in a high floor, I'll most likely just break my bones if I try to jump." Sidra said.
Sidra looked at the ceiling and spotted a camera that was attached to the ceiling, currently aimed at Sidra.
"Looks like someone is watching me. Which means I'm not the only person in this weird place." Sidra said.
Sidra then turned his attention from the camera to a door that was in front of him.
He walked up to the door and put his hand on the handle.
"Well, here goes nothing." Sidra said.
Sidra tried to open the door.
And...it worked.
"...Huh, that was easy." Sidra said.
With the door open, Sidra walked out of the room and looked left and right.
He found himself in a purple hallway, both floors and walls were purple.
"...Great. Where the hell do I go from here?" Sidra asked himself.
Sidra looked right and the hallway's path continued forward.
He decided to walk towards that direction.
Sidra continued looking around. Not wanting to feel nervous anymore about being alone, he decided to call for help.
"Hey! Is anyone else in here? And can you even hear me? If you are, let me hear your voice!" Sidra yelled out, hoping to get a response.
Right after he said that, a female voice was heard.
"Yeah, I'm here! Just don't go, I'm coming to see you right now!" The female responded.
Sidra stopped as he heard the sound of shoes hitting the floor, quickly approaching Sidra's location.
Finally, a new face ran into sight. A teenage girl, looking to be 18 to 20, wearing a blue track jacket with blonde hair with a ponytail.
The blonde girl stopped in front of Sidra, as her eyes widened upon seeing him.
"Ah...Ah...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The girl screamed, stumbling backwards and nearly fell, but she regained her balance before she could fall.
Sidra simply stared at the Blonde girl, confused by her reaction.
"...Why the hell did you scream?" Sidra asked.
"You....You are a talking fish guy! Why wouldn't I scream?" The girl asked, still looking a bit freaked out.
"Well, I'm from another Universe with no humans in it. What's your name?" Sidra asked.
"W-why would you want to know? I don't know you! I don't even know where I am or how I got here!" The girl yelled out.
"Okay, okay, calm down, alright? I'm not here to hurt you or anyone else. We're both in the same boat here. Let's just help each other figure this out and find a way out of here." Sidra said.
The girl simply looked at Sidra, not sure if she can actually trust what he was saying before she sighed.
"It's Nicole Song. A-Alright? Now, just, do you know where the exit to this creepy building is?"
"The name's Sidra Harpo and I don't know. The last thing I remember was eating dinner till I spotted some purple light outside my house. When I tried to see what it was, everything turned white and when I woke up, boom, I was in a strange barricaded room with a surveillance camera, watching me. So, I don't know where we are or where the exit is." Sidra said.
Nicole looked annoyed before she sighed again.
"Then we'll just have to keep looking around, find some way out of this...building, prison or whatever it is." Nicole said.
Nicole stared at what was behind her, looking quite a bit afraid, clearly she din't want to go alone before she turned to Sidra.
"O-Okay, you come with me. Maybe you can use your Atlantian Fish Strenght to break us out of here, or something." Nicole said.
"I can't punch holes in walls, but I am a Omnipotent in training...but I don't think Thirst can help us get out of here." Sidra said.
"Whatever, your muscles are good enough to keep us safe till we find an exit. Now, let's go." Nicole demanded, waiting for Sidra to walk first.
Sidra blinked at Nicole before he shrugged and walked ahead, followed up by her.
They were walking down the hall, not being able to see any doors nearby or an exit.
As Sidra looked around, he spotted a map on the wall.
"...Hey, check this out." Sidra told Nicole, as he walked to the map.
Nicole turned and followed Sidra, also looking at the map.
The map itself showed countless areas in the building, floors included and a area that's showing rooms with icons of 16 people above them. Sidra and Nicole included.
"Huh...what the hell do those pictures mean?" Sidra asked.
Sidra continued inspecting the map till he saw something on it.
He saw a area that was circled in red with words saying: 'Go Here'
"...I guess whoever brought us here is expecting us to go there." Sidra said, pointing at the circled area.
Nicole looked at Sidra.
"Can we trust this map? This could easily be a trap if we go there." Nicole said.
"Yeah, but where do we go from here if we don't go there? Besides, it seems we are not the only ones in this building. There are plenty of others. Maybe they know what's going on." Sidra said.
"...I guess so...let's...go there." Nicole sighed.
Sidra nodded as he and Nicole began walking to where the area should be at.
They arrived in front of a huge door. It din't have a lock on it or appeared to be locked.
Nicole, getting a bad feeling, stood back.
"...I wish I had my harpoon with me right now." Sidra sighed.
Sidra put his hand on the door handle and slowly opened it.
He peered his head in and saw 14 people there, who were discussing with each other till they turned around to the sound of the door and looked at Sidra and Nicole.
Sidra and Nicole took a good look at each other person in the room.
A guy with white hair wearing a blue yukata.
A tanned girl with long white hair and a red raincoat.
Another tanned girl with short red hair and a blue jacket, standing close to the girl next to her.
A eyebrowless woman with black hair tied into two ponytails, wearing blue tinted glasses, clawed fingers, wearing a white turtleneck shirt with a black business jacket.
A black haired man with a bandaged right eye, wearing a white shirt and had a empty right sleeve, looking at the two with his only eye, with a suspicious look in his eye.
A bald pale guy with a single strand of white hair on his head, wearing a black businnes suit with a orange tie, who looked annoyed.
Another bald guy wearing a blue robe who looked extremely annoyed.
A noseless pale bald man with weird eyes, wearing a white shirt with short sleeves and black pants.
A orange lizard...hedgehog...thing with spikes for hair who was extremely fat, wearing glasses and a shirt that reads 'Kawaii'.
Another orange skinned creature man dressed as a judge.
A tanned blonde guy with a ponytail wearing large blue glasses, cat like eyes, a white suit with visible chest hair and black pants.
A small chubby man dressed as a Sultan, black beard and a necklace with jewels around his neck.
A old looking man with red eyes, black hair, black moustache, wearing a black coat with a red shirt underneath it and black pants. He looked way older than the rest.
And the last one...was a child, who looked atleast 10 years old. He had brown hair, was wearing some pajamas with a blanket that was used as a cape. The bald man with the blue robe noticed Sidra.
"...Oh, goodie, now there is a fish guy standing there, staring at us. Can things get much worse?" Baldie asked.
"Ugh, for one second, could you just shut up?" The pale person with the single hair asked, putting his fingers on his temple.
The orange skinned judge stepped forward.
"Excuse those two."The Orange skinned Judge said, holding a finger in the air. "They don't have any manners. If you don't mind me asking, are you two in the same situation we are?"
"If by same situation you mean 'trapped in this creepy building with no idea how we got here, then yes!"Nicole responded, who walked into the room, followed up by Sidra.
"I see."The judge frowned. "That's a problem."
"That's 16 of us, right?"The Girl wearing the red raincoat asked. "There wasn't anyone else on that map, so this should be everyone."
"I'm just wondering why were all here.."The guy in the blue yukata muttered under his breath.
The chubby sultan did some hand gestures.
"Now, now, now, now...let us be calm and think things through. Stressing ourselves will not get us anywhere." The sultan said.
"I believe that whoever brought us here cleary had a reason. Each of us are from different dimensions." The old black haired person said.
"Hey, maybe it's like those contests where Omnipotents gather around and beat each other up for prizes." The tanned blonde man suggested.
"No, this wasn't anything like those competitions. I competed in one before and Aeon always told us about it and gave us the opportunity to refuse months before it started." The Judge said.
"So, what's your element?" The fat orange guy asked.
The Judge remained quiet, not answering his question.
The woman with clawed hands crossed her fingers together, looking at everyone else.
"We should begin with some introductions before we decide to speculate. My name is Fujiko Kimura, From Universe 1. I'm not entirely sure why I'm here, but I hope we get along for the time being." The woman said.
"My name is Kazumi Hanzo, from Universe 2. The head of the Elite Guard. I lost my limbs during a fight with one of the Tailed Beasts. I'm not a people person." The bandaged man said.
"Yoku. I'm a millionaire from the village Kodama, which is next to that Newrum place. I'm from Universe...uh...3, atleast that's what these weirdos told me." The bald person shrugged.
"Huang Guzman, from Universe 4. I'm the mayor's main advisor. I'll gladly accept anyone who is not a nuisance." The pale person with the strand of hair said.
"Oh, my name is Amenhotep. I'm the Sultan of the West village on my Earth, from Universe 6. That should be good enough introduction, no?" The sultan asked.
"Dickard Kent. I'm the assistant of the Omnipotent of Jewelry from Universe 7...and it pretty much sucks. And if you don't call me 'Dick', I won't murder you in your sleep." The tanned guy said, with a Australian accent before he turned his head to Nicole and waved.
Nicole simply raised an eyebrow at the guy.
"Manuel Kraven. Former rebellion leader from Universe 10 that got crushed during the war and was being chased by the group known as the Unigard and their men. It appears I got saved by miracle before I could of been caught." The old person said.
"My name is Alistair Eldirass. I'm not a human, I'm a Neonyte. I'm from Universe 11 and I own a antique store that was originally owned by my dad. If you are looking for any ancient interesting relics or some powerful jewels, you know where to find me." The Neonyte said.
"...I'm Sidra Harpo, from Universe 12. Military officer and future Omnipotent of Thirst." Sidra introduced himself.
"Nicole Song, Universe 5."Nicole said- introducing herself to the rest. "That's all I'm saying.."
"I'm Kita."The Girl with red hair and the blue jacket said, before she gestured to the girl in the red raincoat. "This is my Sister, Minami. We travel a lot."
"I'm also a professional artist."Minami smiled, seeming rather unphased by the situation.
"I'm, Uh... I'm Chuo Omesata."The Man in the Blue Yukata said, sounding nervous. "I.. I'm employed by the President of Universe 3. Just a errand boy, really."
"Kerigo K'thrysdean Algohlvania. Chief Justice of Universe 8. You've probably heard of my fiancé, Arenelia as well. She's a very renowed scientist."The Judge said, "we're a power couple."he boasted.
"Yaruda Moekami."The Fat Lizardy Hedgehog thing said. "And before you call me a hedgehog or anything, I'm a Kschlovokyan. My Current business is... not something I'd talk about in public. But if you want to know more just ask me when our situation isn't compromised."
"...Dimitri Tarksten."The Little boy said, tugging at the blanket he was wearing as a cape. "I'll have you know I'm a child prodigy in universe 9. My Dad's the head of the brigade too, that.. probably doesn't mean anything to you. but it's super important where I'm from!"
"Now with introductions out of the way, we should figure out what's going on, why we are here and who brought us here." Kazumi said.
"I personally think we should try to find an exit, not waste our time playing detectives. That's more important." Huang said.
"Do any of you guys have phones? Why not just try to call 911?" Nicole asked.
"You think we haven't tried that? I can't get any reception on my phone at all....which also means that Kacaj can't contact me to give me a headache so, it's not that bad actually." Dickard said.
"I tried to use my transceiver and I can't open a portal or contact any Neonytes." Alistair said.
"My communication device, that I made by the way, is not working either." Dimitri said.
"There might be a exit somewhere around here, once we find, I should be able to break through it...or I would, if I knew where my sword was at." Kita muttered.
"Every window is barricaded and the stairs to the upper floors are blocked off aswell. We are all trapped on the first floor of this building, without any way of contacting anyone from the outside world." Kerigo said.
"Whoever kidnapped us set up a electronic device blocker, like a EMP so we couldn't use anything to leave. Obviously." Yaruda said.
"Do any of you freaks have any super strength or something to break the walls?" Yoku asked.
"Even if we would try, for all we know, the mysterious kidnapped would have guards or robots outside to prevent us from leaving. Not to mention, they are watching us." Manuel said, gesturing at the surveillance camera.
"I saw one of those cameras in the room I ended up in aswell." Sidra said.
"This whole floor is full of cameras. I counted and there 25 of them. And this is just the first floor." Alistair said.
"What about that map? Me and Sidra used that to get here." Nicole said.
"I saw that too. There were little icons of everyone here in rooms on that map." Minami said.
"I assume those rooms were prepared for us by our captor." Kerigo said.
"Where IS the captor anyways!?" Dimitri loudly asked.
"Now that all of us are here...I guess they'll eventually reveal themselves?" Amenhotep asked.
"I agree with Amenhotep. The mysterious person sees something valuable in each of us if they had to resort to kidnapping." Fujiko said.
At that moment, a monitor that wasn't there a second ago, placed on the wall turned on, showing static and the silhouette of a person.
"Hello? Um, Hello? Hey, Is this thing on?
If it is, someone respond! Wave your hand at me, or scream in frustration or something. It'd be stupid If I was talking and nobody could hear me."
Everyone in the room turned to the monitor.
"...Yeah, we are here." Sidra said, glaring at the monitor.
"Are you the one who kidnapped us?" Kazumi asked.
"Hm, Yeah. Yeah, I am.
The Truth is.. you've all been selected to spend the rest of your lifes in this building. Living a communal life together with no communication to, or from the outside world."
"You mentioned 'selected'. Would you care to elaborate more on that?" Kerigo asked.
"Nope."
"Where is the exit?" Nicole asked.
"The Exit? yeah, there's none. I said you're living a communal life together in this building. that means you're not leaving."
"Why can't we leave? My dad is the head of the Brigade in Universe 9 and-" Dimitri tried to say.
"Doesn't matter."
"Excuse me, but why are the people who are important figures in their worlds with a few exceptions here to begin with?" Fujiko asked.
"Well, you're not going to be doing anything for the universes your from in here. but that doesn't matter."
"What? But...what about food, water and all of that? You can't just expect us to stay here and starve to death!" Huang said.
"What...what about our families?" Amenhotep asked.
"Rest assured, food and water is going to be restocked daily.
And, as for your families. you don't need to worry about them, you're new life is in here after all- I guess you'll have to make do with just never seeing them again."
"That's absurd! I have a daughter back home who is probably worried sick about me!" Fujiko stated.
"I also have a wife and a son. You can't do this!" Amenhotep said.
"Well, geez, fine, if you want to see your family, or go outside for any reason. there's one way I think you'll be able to leave."
"And what way is that?" Kita asked, expecting there'd be more to this.
"Well, like any respectable society. there are some things that just can't be allowed to happen.
So if anyone here was to murder anyone else in here, then I'd have no choice but to let them leave."
"Murder? Hold on a minute, slow down, you are telling us that the only way to get out of here is to kill someone? Are you joking?" Yoku asked, his skin turning pale.
"Nope, I'm not. That's the only way to get out of here."
"That's...that's fucked up." Alistair said, looking a bit shaken.
"Hey, so, do we get any special prizes for those who get out of here, like a sack of money or something?" Dickard asked.
"Okay, that's fucked up. Dickard." The Figure seemed rather taken aback that someone didn't object.
"He's fucked up? You're saying we should kill each other!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Well, only if you want to leave."
Manuel and Kazumi looked pretty calm despite the announcement.
Sidra, however, looked annoyed as he stared at the monitor.
"Who the hell are you? I'm not the type of person to enjoy a conversation with people I don't know about, especially someone who dragged me out of my home, dumped me in here and expects me to kill someone in order to get out of here." Sidra said.
"Oh, Um.. Just call me F for the time being."
"F?" Fujiko asked.
"First letter that came to my head.
Well, I've said everything that I wanted to. You guys enjoy yourselves. Tell ya what, if you manage to find a way out without killing anyone- I ain't even gonna be mad. But I myself don't know of any ways to leave other than murdering. so if you want out, but don't want to kill someone, well, you better get looking!
there's food and stuff in the kitchen, and those rooms on the map with your faces drawn on them are your beds and such- I hope you'll like them.
Enjoy your stay!"
The Monitor turned off.
"..What the fuck was that?"Kerigo asked, looking slightly offput by the entire thing.
Kita and Minami looked at each other while Chuo looked at the ground.
Amenhotep, Alistair and Yoku looked freaked out.
"...They...have to be joking, right? They can't be this insane to pull this fucked up shit." Alistair said.
"No. It's clear they weren't joking. It's as F said:if we want to abandon our normal lives and families, then we stay here forever. If we want to be free, then our only option will be to murder someone...one of us." Kazumi said.
"Guess I'll have to sleep with one eye open from now on." Manuel sighed, fiddling with his moustache.
The Monitor turned on again.
"Not to worry! All bedrooms come with matching locks and keys- with your names on them for easy identification!
No need to worry about someone entering your bedroom while you slumber!"
The Monitor turned off.
"That.. really doesn't help."Yaruda frowned.
"Din't F say that we can get out of here if we don't kill someone. That's good too, right? There must be some other way out of here." Dimitri said.
"Yeah." Nicole simply said.
"I doubt it. F is likely planting false hopes for a laugh." Kerigo said.
"If that's the only way we have, then fine. I sure as hell won't stay in here to rot. I refuse to die like this." Huang muttered.
"The stairs that lead to the next floor is blocked by a metal gate. What's up with that?" Alistair asked.
"Maybe when F mentioned other ways to get out, the floors might have something to do with it?" Amenhotep suggested.
"Din't you hear what Alistair said? The floors are blocked off. If that was the way out, we can't get to it." Dimitri said.
"...I guess...the metal gate will open up to leave someone to go...when they kill someone." Nicole shuddered.
"...Maybe we should try looking around this floor. We could find something useful." Fujiko frowned.
"Agreed." Kazumi said.
Yoku just glared before he turned his back.
"Do whatever you want. I'm not getting involved in this sick shit." Yoku said.
And with that, he walked out of the room, as he was stared at by Minami, Kita, Alistair, Kerigo and Sidra.
"We should split in teams to investigate the rest of the floor." Kazumi said.
"Who died and made him our leader?" Huang asked Alistair, who simply shrugged.
Kazumi turned to Sidra, Chuo, Huang and Alistair.
"You four are a team. Kerigo, Dimitri, Amenhotep and Yaruda are the second team. Dickard, you are with me, Manuel-" Kazumi said.
Dickard walked over to Minami, Kita and Nicole.
"Actually, I'd rather go with the ladies." Dickard smirked, placing his hands on Nicole and Kita's shoulder, the two staring at Dickard with Kita brushing his hand aside.
Kazumi sighed.
"Very well. Me, Fujiko and Manuel are a team. Yoku clearly doesn't want to get involved so he doesn't count." Kazumi said.
"It should be alright without Yoku. If only person are on their own, it shouldn't be too bad." Fujiko commented.
"We should reunite here once we are done exploring, around...noon?" Minami guessed.
Everyone else nodded while Dimitri and Kita were silent.
And so, the teams split up.
Dickard was walking next to Nicole, putting his hand around her shoulder.
"Hey, so, I don't think we got the change to properly know each other." Dickard said.
Nicole simply turned to Minami and Kita with a disbelieving expression. The two sisters also looked annoyed.
Sidra, Chuo, Huang and Alistair were in the dinning hall, specifically the kitchen.
Huang was inspecting the knives and picked one up.
"Well, F gave the potential murderer the necessaries if they are suddenly hungry for murder." Huang said, before putting the knife back in it's place.
"Hopefully, there aren't any Neonyte based weapons in this place. Or Antaxite cause well, the dead person won't go to an afterlife." Alistair said.
Chuo sighed as he looked in the fridge.
"...There is atleast enough food for everyone here. All kinds of food items that I don't even recognize." Chuo said.
He closed the fridge door and looked at the three.
"This food is from the universes we came from. You think it's safe to have this food next to each other?" Chuo asked.
"The foods have different shapes but besides that, they are still food regardless of the universes they came from." Sidra said.
Sidra turned and spotted a bottle of vitamins on the table. He picked up the bottle and checked it's description. It was for people from Universe 10.
"Huh, guess the old rebel leader needs these vitamins." Sidra said, putting the bottle back on the table.
Amenhotep, Kerigo, Dimitri and Yaruda were all in the sleeping quarters.
On the left side, were rooms with Minami, Kita, Chuo, Fujiko, Kazumi, Yoku, Huang and Nicole's faces drawn onto them- with their names written below them. and on the right, were Amenhotep, Dickard, Kerigo, Yaruda, Dimitri, Manuel, Alistair and Sidra's.
Dimitri walked out of his room.
"You guys heard anything?" Dimitri asked.
"No, I din't." Yaruda said.
"Really? I screamed at the top of his lungs. None of you guys heard that? At all?" Dimitri asked.
Kerigo was looking at the rooms, specifically Chuo's, Minami's and Kita's.
"...I guess the rooms are soundproof. Did you find anything else?" Kerigo asked.
"Found a toolbox, all of my video games and a keychain with my name and key on it." Dimitri said.
"Hm, I see." Kerigo said, putting his hand on his chin.
Amenhotep walked out of his room.
"My room looks exactly like my bedroom...except it's missing the magic touch of my wife." Amenhotep said.
"You really must love your wife, don't you?" Kerigo asked.
"Of course I do. She is the most beautiful woman in the entire world." Amenhotep said.
"Can you describe her to us?" Yaruda asked.
"She has brown-ish skin, her black eyes...noseless...and." Amenhotep said.
"Hey, time out...Your wife is a Neonyte?" Dimitri asked.
"Um, yes. Is that a problem?" Amenhotep asked
"...You two have a child aswell?" Dimitri asked, twiddling his fingers together.
"We do, yes." Amenhotep said.
"...How was the child created?" Dimitri asked.
"Aaand I'm out of this conversation if this is going where I think it's going." Yaruda said, as he walked into his room.
"I'm pretty sure I mentioned Arenelia, who is my fiancé, correct?" Kerigo asked, sighing.
"Would you fools keep it down?" Yoku's voice asked from his room.
"...You can hear us? Wait, what are you doing there?" Dimitri asked.
"Not getting murdered by psycho's, that's what." Yoku said.
"Can you tell us anything about your room?" Kerigo asked.
"Basically, not a death trap. Now leave me alone." Yoku said.
Kerigo put his hand to his forehead, sighing.
Nicole, Kita, Minami and Dickard were in a laundry room- filled with 10 washing machines, and some empty clotheslines already hung up.
Nicole looked at a magazine left on a table.
"This is probably just here to read to pass the time while washing our clothes." Nicole said.
"I'm just glad we have a room for this stuff in general. Life in here without any way to clean anything would get uncomfortable pretty quickly." Minami said.
"There isn't much in this room. It's best we leave and check some other place out." Kita said, who was standing next to the door.
"I looked at the map and there is a pool area for boys and girls. It would actually be nice in here if they weren't trapped in this large cage to begin with." Dickard said.
"Well, you better get used to it." Nicole said, as she walked out of the room.
Kazumi, Manuel and Fujiko were in the warehouse, inspecting the area.
Manuel walked up to a box and touched it, getting dust on his finger.
"...Hm, reminds me of the new Rebellion base, old and dusty." Manuel said.
Fujiko looked at all the boxes that were around them as she opened one up and found nothing but sports equipment in it.
"This could be useful, but I don't know what I could use it for." Fujiko stated.
"There was a gym on the map. Perhaps the equipment is there for workout purposes." Kazumi said, looking inside a box that had a rope in it.
"That's probably the case." Fujiko said.
She opened another box and then immediately closed it, moving the box out of sight before she turned to Kazumi and Manuel.
"There are likely murder weapons and such placed in here aswell. It'd be best to exercise caution so no one takes something dangerous out of this room." Fujiko said.
"Well, my dear, you won't have to worry about someone killing anyone with this." Manuel said, as he picked up a Tobi plushie and dropped it back in the box.
Fujiko just rolled her eyes at that while Kazumi kept checking the boxes that were next to him.
Minami, Nicole, Kita and Dickard were in front of a set of changing rooms before they entered in one of the pool areas.
Which obvious had a large pool in it.
"...I'm not really in the mood to swim, what with being trapped here and all." Nicole frowned.
"There might be a way out inside the swimming pool, so it couldn't hurt to check. Pools usually have vents in them, after all." Minami suggested.
"I don't wanna brag but back in my high school days, I was able to hold my breaths for 10 minutes underwater. I could check it out but I need to get out of my clothes first...plus, I would feel more comfortable if you girls came along-" Dickard said.
Kita then just pushed Dickard into the pool.
Dickard's head merged out of the pool.
"The fuck!?" Dickard asked.
Kita then leaned into the pool and shoved Dickard's head under it.
Minami pulled Kita away.
"If you are not careful, you could actually kill him." Minami said.
"Eh, he did say he can hold his breath for 10 minutes underwater. He'll be fine." Kita shrugged.
"Why are you two joking around? We need to find a way out of here." Nicole said.
She looked at the windows, only to find them barricaded aswell.
"...Shit." Nicole groaned.
Eventually, after 6 minutes.
Dickard got out of the pool, soaking wet.
"Weeeell? Found anything?" Minami asked.
"Nope, nothing. And now I actually have a reason to use the laundry room." Dickard said, walking out of the pool room.
Minami frowned in response.
Kita put her hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Kita said.
"...Why are you apologizing?" Minami asked.
Kita simply sighed while Minami turned to Nicole.
"...We should probably go back to the gym." Nicole said.
Back in the dining hall.
Chuo was trying a fire apple from Universe 10.
Judging by his expression, he din't like it, a bit too hot for his tastebuds before he swallowed. Sighing.
Sidra was eating some cookie that happened to be from a box that featured the face of a eyebrowless woman with white hair and black eyes, though he din't notice that his teeth were now green from whatever was in that cookie
Chuo stared at his green teeth but din't say anything.
Huang looked around before he looked at Alistair.
"Can you see any dangerous Neonyte weapons in this place?" Huang asked.
"Nah, there aren't any weapons. I don't think there are any on this floor at all, besides the knives." Alistair said.
"Then let's ditch this place and meet up with the rest. They've done enough investigating." Huang said.
Sidra finished his cookie while Chuo threw the fire apple in a garbage can and the four walked out of the hall.
They walked back into the gymnasium, where everyone else was waiting, with the exception of Yoku of course.
"We suspect that the warehouse has boxes that could contain dangerous weapons and we are still trying to move them out of the warehouse." Kazumi said.
"We checked out the dining hall and the only dangerous weapons there are the knives." Huang said.
"There is enough food for all of us here. Most of them are from our Universes." Sidra said.
"We checked our rooms and most of them are soundproof. And most of our items are in the rooms aswell, if what Dimitri said was correct." Kerigo said.
"We...din't really find anything new." Kita said, scratching her arm.
"So, no way out then." Yaruda frowned.
"Atleast we have enough resources to keep us going for quite some time." Fujiko said.
"That, and no one would be able to sneak into our rooms to kill us in our sleep." Dimitri added.
"...Guess there is no way out of here unless one of us kills someone, huh?" Nicole asked.
"Animals kill each other for survival on a regular basis. What's the difference?" Dickard asked, who had a towel wrapped around his head.
"We're civilized, and what's more, our lives don't seem to be in any immediate danger. But if you seem to be able to justify murder this easily, that tells more of what kind of person you are, then it does of us." Kerigo said.
"If you guys had to work for a boss like mine, you would have an urge to murder someone too. But, rest assured, I'm not gonna do anything. That moron Yoku is more likely to kill anyone to get out of here." Dickard said.
"There was no way to guarantee that, was there? As sad as it is. Anyone here could easily kill anyone else here. The Smart thing to do would be not to kill anyone; and continue looking for a way out, but sadly- anyone could easily give up on that, and find that killing is the best way out." Kerigo stated.
"Well, that's true. I doubt anyone is gonna sit here and wait till someone miracously shows up to save us." Huang said, folding his arms.
"We could try putting in some countermeasures so no one actually tries to kill anyone else." Fujiko suggested.
"That could work. What do you have in mind?" Kerigo asked.
"While it might not help prevent a murder, it would help keep track. We could all meet up for breakfast and dinner every day, to help keep track of things." Fujiko said.
"That would be for the best at the moment. Do any of you have objections?" Kazumi asked.
Everyone else looked at each other, not saying anything or showing any gestures of them objecting to Fujiko's idea.
"It's settled then." Manuel said.
Suddenly, a song jingle was heard and F popped up on the monitor.
'Hey, so, if you guys are done exploring, you should go, eat and go to your bedrooms before midnight. There will be a few consequences for those who are caught and not inside their rooms when it's midnight. That's all. Buh bye." F said
And with that, they were gone.
"...They just love extending our torture, don't they?" Huang asked.
"It's probably good that there's a curfew."Fujiko said. "That way, no one can move around at night and die when most people are asleep."
"..I'm not hungry."Nicole said, turning around to leave. "I'm just going to sleep this anxiety off."
"I can't be sure no one here's going to poison anything, so i'll be making my own dinner."Yaruda declared.
"That's fine, both of those are fine."Fujiko assured.
"I'm going to bed. I feel tired after all of this clusfter fuck." Alistair said, walking out of the room.
"I'll attend dinner. I have to take my medication after all." Manuel said, leaving the room next.
Eventually, everyone else walked into their rooms while the rest went to have dinner.
Sidra was in front of his room's door as he watched Nicole, Alistair, Dimitri, Amenhotep and a few others walking into their rooms.
He turned to his room's door and opened it, going inside.
His room looked liks his back in Universe 12...except there was a inflatable pool with water in it and his bed laying on the pool.
Sidra din't look impressed.
"...Well, it could be worse. I could be sleeping back in that weird small room. I'll have to take my chances till we figure a way out of this dump." Sidra sighed.
He got on his bed and laid on his back.
He attempted to get some shut-eye till the song jingle was heard and F appeared on screen.
'Attention, boys and girls, it's now midnight. Good night and have sweet dreams.'F said
And the screen turned off
Sidra just looked at the ceiling.
"...What the fuck have I gotten myself into?" Sidra asked.
End of Prologue
Suddenly, someone began singing and music was heard.
You're here to listen to my story, right? I'm wondering where i should begin. I suppose the best choice would be the first thing, the first sight But the chances of that are slim
The Worlds are all interconnected and the Timelines they include are as well however we've been dealing with too many tragedies if we could make things perfect? well that would be just swell
No matter what i Truly believe A Infinite amount of people have infinite possibilities. but every action is a reaction and causes one, that's fact. So in order to create a world where peace is all that anyone ever sees. we would need infinite research and a plan of attack.
Certain People need to be certain places for the main plot to kick into gear certain heroes might not stand up to fight without someone to care for Certain villains need certain conditions to rise up and become someone to fear And ensuring all this happens will be impossible on my own
One and two, i'll try and i'll try But reaching the true end is as difficult as touching the sky but i know that i shall soon reach this day in the end, my friend the end i choose, the chooses they make- the way the tree branches out for all of time and everything that follows are the weights that i'll have to depend on
God created this universe by mistake, and it had only spawned more. theres only one that is true i'm afraid, only one that i yearn for
...
You're here to listen to my story, right? you already know where this begins where it ends, where it stops everything in between you've always been aware.
Time has always been predetermined. Each and every fraction already foresaw one of you and one of me will take one for the team so let's be the ones that do let's do this all for you
Before I woke up that day my life had always been nothing but boredom and dismay not a single thing could ever hope to raise my interest however that day i met you scenery that was so nonexistent it was the day that my life forever changed
every secret of the universe every truth, every single earth all of this information it wore me down at last to the moment that the bullet would appear between my eyes there was no point when nothing would come as a suprise.
You wept you wept you cried and you shed a Tragedy that you just could not stop? you must not have seen it coming, you must not at all however this machine of yours it contains the secret you so dearly need just go back and stop this all, shouldn't it be easy?
Ah, A Crescendo rings through the nothing calling back to the one i love and from her heartbroken voice I hear heaven singing above
"i'll try and i'll try again" "i'll try and i'll try again" The promise we would not make however we both knew we'd try to grant it anyway
...
You're here to listen to his story right? but i'm afraid it's already at it's end the belief of the boy has finished up here his body is buried in the snow
Nogra has already taken the child they've escaped somewhere far away so very soon i'm afraid, no i'm relieved to say we'll be trying again. it'll be so great...

F: The Killing Game Chapter 1: The Things We Do For Family Daily Life
A day has passed since the 16 people were kidnapped from their home Universes and forced to participate in this killing game that their kidnapper, F, has established. As they tried to find new ways to get out of here, they found themselves out of luck. All they can do is figure out a way to get out of here...or resort to murder.
Only Time will tell.
In the morning, as planned, everyone else gathered in the dining hall.
Fujiko, Kazumi, Manuel, Kita, Minami, Amenhotep, Kerigo, Chuo, Nicole and Yoku were already there
Huang entered in the hall next, looking at everyone.
When he looked at Yoku, he looked surprised.
"Huh, din't think you would show up after bailing on us yesterday." Huang said.
"For your information, I'm here because I still need to eat food and hear what everyone else has to say. And clearly, none of you have said anything useful. I'm going back to my room where it's safe. Good day" Yoku said.
Yoku got up and left the area, going back to his room.
"The grumpy old dude din't do much listening of what everyone had to say, did he?" Nicole asked.
Kerigo lowered his noodles he was eating back into his bowl as he looked at Nicole.
"To be frank, I can't really blame that man for acting like this, considering the situation we are in. It's understandable he wouldn't communicate with people who could potentially try to kill him." Kerigo said.
"Fear and paranoia can make a man do foolish things. Hopefully for our sake, murder won't be one of those things." Kazumi said.
"It is troublesome. It's a shame none of us can read each other's thoughts, to know what we are thinking." Manuel said, holding a cup of tea.
Sidra, Yaruda, Alistair and Dimitri entered in the area.
"So, we missed anything?" Sidra asked.
"Really, you din't. Just Yoku being a grumpy bear, that's all." Minami said.
"I din't expect to see you four walk in together." Nicole said, looking at them with suspicion.
Alistair raised an eyebrow at Nicole.
"Is it because three of us are from different types of species?" Alistair asked.
"Hey, don't twist my words like that. It's just you guys walked in at the exact same time." Nicole said.
"We walked in together because we got here around the same time." Dimitri sighed, before he walked into the kitchen to find something to eat.
Dickard then walked in next.
"Hey, guys, sorry for being late, had to comb my hair. Din't want to look like a horror show." Dickard said.
"...You comb your hair as a time like this?" Kita asked in disbelief.
"Well, if I’m gonna die, might aswell die looking handsome, am I right?" Dickard said
"...You do realize that you are asking for someone to kill you right now, right?" Yaruda asked.
"Emphasis on 'IF' I'm gonna get murdered, my dude." Dickard said.
He then sat behind the table, placing his feet on.
"Anyways, do any of you guys have anything important to say? Any new ideas?" Sidra asked.
Everyone just looked at each other. Clearly, they had no idea what to say.
"...There is nothing to say, I'm afraid. Atleast I can enjoy my breakfast in peace." Kerigo frowned, as he continued eating.
"I'm trying to brainstorm more ideas to prevent murders from occurring before help arrives to get us out of here." Fujiko said.
A Monitor in the dining hall -that most definitely was not there until just now- turned on.
"Do you mean 'prevent murders from happening?' because if you're fine with a murder after help arrives that's pretty messed up.
Also helps not arriving anyway."
The Monitor turned off before anyone could respond.
Fujiko looked irritated upon hearing that statement.
Huang, looking pissed, picked up a beer bottle and threw it at the monitor, shattering the bottle and the monitor screen.
"WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS ASSHOLE THINK HE IS!?" Huang asked.
"...Are you sure that was a smart idea?"Kerigo asked.
"Doesn't matter, Huang's right!"Nicole said. "This F Bastard is way out of line.."
"You know, F could be a she." Minami suggested.
"Once we find a way out of here, I will get my hands on whoever that insane prick is." Sidra growled.
"Until then, we need to be cautious of each other if we want to survive. Who knows when someone will decide to eventually murder one of us if they grow desperate enough." Manuel said.
Amenhotep awkwardly looked at everyone else before he cleared his throat.
"What did F mean when they said that the killer would get out after they kill someone. They wouldn't get punished at all?" Amenhotep asked.
"That does seem to be the case." Kerigo said.
"Are you seriously considering this!?" Nicole asked Amenhotep.
Amenhotep jumped in response.
"N-No, no, I wasn't! I was just asking if the potential murder will simply walk away just like that. No need to ask me such question." Amenhotep said.
"I doubt this is really the case. But hopefully, we won't find out." Fujiko said.
"There needs to be something to push the person into killing someone, besides freedom." Kazumi said.
"What else, then?" Dickard asked.
"A motive. And the perfect target." Kazumi said.
Yaruda looked at Kazumi, squinting at him.
"Would you care to elaborate?" Yaruda asked.
"Any smart killer would know a person's strengths and weaknesses before they attack. Once that weakness is exposed, they can form a strategic plan to take them out and dispose of the evidence before anyone else can know that they did it. Also, they would need a more proper motivation that will drive them to get out of here. Being trapped in a building that has almost everything won't be enough for a person to murder anyone." Kazumi said.
"I really din't want to talk about this." Dimitri said.
"Actually, this all was worth hearing, even if it was in poor taste to talk about this when a man is trying to eat." Kerigo said.
"Rest assured, I'm not that much of a coward to kill someone just to get out of here." Sidra said.
"Well, we'll have to wait and see if that's true then." Huang said.
"I mean, all we can do is wait till someone eventually kill someone...which really isn't that good." Alistair sighed.
"...Is Yoku gonna stay in his room the entire time?" Chuo asked, finally speaking.
"As far as it goes, Yoku's room is only accessible to himself since he has the keys and F's curfew prevents midnight murders. So far, he has the advantage." Manuel said.
"On the subject of rooms, each room appears to be different and have different things in it. For example, Yoku's room isn't soundproof but mine is." Dimitri said.
"Well, that makes sense. each room seemed to have been tailor made for whoever would be sleeping in it. Although my room was pretty much a giant middle finger." Yaruda frowned.
"My bed was on a pool...I'm not joking." Sidra said.
"...That's...nice?" Minami guessed, not sure what to respond to that.
"It's been illuminating and all, but I have some thinking to do. Guess I'll see you all later, assuming a bloodshed won't happen." Huang said, before he left the hall.
Dickard just looked at Nicole, Minami and Kita.
"Soo...you girls are in the mood to do something right now?" Dickard asked.
Kita, in response, Kita took the milk bottle- that was currently next to Nicole's bowl of cereal; and opened it, before spilling the contents of the bottle on Dickard.
"No."Kita said, before she left.
"I'll see you guys later." Minami said, before following Kita.
"This back and forth is gonna get annoying pretty quickly." Yaruda said.
"...That was just immature beyond relief." Fujiko mumbled to herself.
Kazumi simply sighed.
Dickard just stood there, blinking while covered in milk.
"So, I saw a door with a sign that says 'Shop' before I arrived here. Mind find something interesting in there." Alistair said, before he left aswell.
Eventually, most people had left the cafeteria.
Dimitri and Yaruda had both went back to their rooms,
Fujiko left to go make notes of what is in the warehouse,
Minami and Kita were roaming the halls,
Chuo ended up being assigned the task of cleaning up everyone's plates by Nicole, as such he was in the dining hall, while she remained in the cafeteria- reading the magazine she grabbed from the laundry room.
Kerigo had gone to the pool; discarding his gown and headpiece in the changing rooms for the time being.
Dickard was also in the pool, he appeared to be relaxing.
Kerigo, now in the pool, was just floating along.
He turned his head to Dickard.
"You know, you've been acting like a victim this entire time. While you aren't making it easy to care about you, I would prefer if nobody actually died. I suggest you try exercising more restraint before that redhaired girl kills you." Kerigo said.
Dickard simply shrugged in response.
"If that chick would try to kill me, she would basically screw herself and her sister so. But fine, sure. Thoughm You should be more worried about the others than me right now." Dickard said.
Kerigo blinked in acknowledgement.
"I respect your confidence in yourself, at the very least." Kerigo said, not wanting to deal with any arguments.
"That's probably the nicest thing anyone ever said that to me, probably besides my grandma." Dickard said.
Meanwhile.
Yoku was still in his room.
Huang was currently glaring holes in one of the blocked windows.
Amenhotep was mostly walking around aimlessly, with a lot of stuff on his mind.
Kazumi was in the gymnasium, appearing to be thinking to himself
Manuel was in his room, reading a book.
Sidra and Alistair were in the shop that Alistair talked about, which was filled with a lot of junk that appeared to be from the past, present and future. Aswell as a dispenser machine.
"This place reminds me of my own store from Universe 11." Alistair commented.
Sidra looked around the place, confused.
"Where did F get all this crap from?" Sidra asked.
"Who knows, maybe F loves collecting stuff." Alistair shrugged.
Alistair walked up to the dispenser machine and tries his luck as he inserted a coin in it.
A prank book popped out of the machine.
"...Well, this is a grade A disappointment." Alistair frowned, as he picked up the prank book and left.
Sidra looked at Alistair leaving before he decided to try out the machine for himself.
A fragment of a meteor fell out of the machine.
Sidra raised an eyebrow as he picked up the rock piece.
"...Maybe someone else will be interested by this rock." Sidra said.
He picked up the fragment and left the store.
He was walking down the hall and walked past Minami and Kita who were just walking around before he stopped and turned to them.
"Hey, you girls are interested in this random meteor piece that I found in F's shop?" Sidra asked, showing the fragment to them.
Minami and Kita turned around and both looked interested as they stared at the fragment.
"That's not just any random meteor piece."Minami said, looking surprised. "That's..
You found this in F's shop?"Minami asked- interrupting her own sentence as she took the piece from Sidra and held it up to inspect it. "..hmm, well, thank you anyway!"
"Yeah, F's shop has a dispenser machine that pops out stuff...and the place has a lot of stuff that came from different time periods. Don't know where they got them from." Sidra said.
"Interesting...Very Interesting..."Minami said to herself.
"Hey, Sis, Let's check that shop out."She decided, "Thanks, Sidra!"
Minami and Kita entered the shop; Minami somehow getting Sidra to come with them and both gave the vending machine a try.
Minami got herself some sheets of music while Kita got herself a Big Fucking Sword.
"...Huh, sweet." Kita said, as she picked up the large sword, looking surprised.
She saw a table nearby and tried testing the sword on the table, to cut it in half.
And...it did nothing.
Kita raised an eyebrow, looking at the bottom of the sword, with a price tag indicating that it was from a toy store.
"...Ah, it's a toy replica." Kita sighed.
"That's good though. The sword still looked real and can't actually kill anyone. Though, I would preferred something else than...some sheets of music." Minami said, looking equally displeased.
"You can probably give the stuff that you don't need to someone who might need it." Sidra said.
He looked around the room, appeared to be thinking to himself.
"Are you okay?" Kita asked.
"...This is the first time I came in contact with a group of humans, aswell as a Neonyte and two Kschvolkyans. It's probably gonna be awhile till I get used to this life style." Sidra said.
"That makes sense. Universes 12 or 8 don't have any humans in them." Kita said.
"...You two never mentioned from what Universe you two came from." Sidra said.
"Honestly, I'm not sure myself. I lived in Universe 2 since I was born. But I have those eyes the residents from Universe 7 have, so I guess I have some ancestry from both." Minami said.
"Is this cross-universal parenthood common?" Sidra asked.
"It really isn't. Me and Kita are the only ones who are like that, I think." Minami said.
Kita din't look very comfortable during the conversation.
Minami looked at her before she turned to Sidra.
"Well, gonna see you later, Sidra. Bye!" Minami smiled, waving at Sidra.
She took the gifts before she and Kita left.
Sidra looked at them as they were leaving.
"Humans are quite interesting...in their own way." Sidra said, before leaving the shop.
Meanwhile, Huang was currently kicking and punching the metal plate blocking the window, before eventually getting his hand hurt.
"Ach, fff, shit!" Huang cursed, holding his hand.
Fujiko, holding a notepad, walked into the area Huang was in.
"...Are you okay?" Fujiko asked, looking at his hurt hand
"No, I'm not. F must be insane if they think he is gonna stay here and wait till some jackass sticks a knife in me. I really wish I had a gun on me right now." Huang muttered.
"Guns aren't exactly easy to find where I'm from. I'd feel more comfortable if there weren't any guns at all. But you're right, I want to get out aswell, but I'd rather find a way to escape that doesn't involve ending any lives, if possible." Fujiko said.
"That Interdimensional terrorist made it nearly impossible for us to escape. It won't be long till someone eventually decides to kill. it's slowly building up. It's probably been awhile back in Universe 4, Reginald probably thinks I'm dead and replaced me with the secretary, Belle." Huang said.
"We don't even know in which Universe we are in. I don't know that much about timestreams, I am a secretary myself. I don't know much about these things." Fujiko said.
"...Just when everything was going well for me back there, this happened." Huang sighed.
"Maybe you could try to relax in your room, maybe take a nap?" Fujiko suggested.
"With all this shit going on, sleep is the last thing on my mind." Huang said.
"Then perhaps you can help me take the inventory out of the warehouse. It would be useful to know what they have available in there. It may not make things better, but it could help take your mind off things." Fujiko said.
"...Ugh, fine. Maybe I could find a notebook there that can kill people by writing their names, so I can write F's name there myself." Huang shrugged.
"You'd need F's real name for that first." Fujiko said, as the two walked out of the area.
Eventually more time had passed, Chuo finished washing the dishes and went back to look at the gate blocking off the next floor,
Huang and Fujiko took inventory of all of the items; from weapons, to tools, to harmless doodads to just outright stupid shit.
Huang dropped one box on the floor and decided to see what it was inside.
It was filled with plushies of people he never met or din't know about.
"...Who the hell are even these people?" Huang asked, looking at two plushies that resembled Omega and Lynch.
He then picked up a Kikez action figure and saw a string attached to it's back.
Huang, out of curiosity, pulled the string.
The tiny claymore the Kikez toy was holding flew out of it's hand, hitting Huang in the eye.
"AH, SON OF A NEONYTE WHORE!" Huang yelled, getting Fujiko's attention.
Minami and Kita walked past the duo as Fujiko tried to get the claymore toy out of Huang's eye and walked into their own room. Minami opened a small first aid kit.
Meanwhile Dickard and Kerigo were still casually chilling in the pool.
Nicole had left the cafeteria and began to look throughout the hallway, a bored expression on her face as she went to place the magazine back in the laundry room.
"Ah, where the hell does F get this stupid shit from?" Alistair's voice was heard.
Nicole turned around and saw Alistair walk by, holding a pair of roller skates.
"What the-HEY, WHY DO YOU HAVE MY ROLLER SKATES!?" Nicole asked.
Alistair turned around, looking confused.
"These are yours? I got this from F's shop when I tried out that stupid vending machine again." Alistair said.
"What vending machine?...Wait, did F seriously took my heelies when they kidnapped me aswell!?" Nicole asked.
"...I guess." Alistair shrugged.
Nicole, just baffled to find the right words for this just sighed as she took the roller skates from Alistair and was cooling down a bit, still visibly nervous.
"...So, how you doing?" Nicole awkwardly asked Alistair.
"Well, our situation is pretty shitty for sure right now. Truth to be told, I'm worried about my family and my shop back in Universe 11." Alistair said.
Nicole simply nodded.
"...Does this mean you are considering F's bullshit game?" Nicole asked.
"Honestly, I'm not sure. But to be honest, I wouldn't hurt a group of humans who din't do anything to me, aswell as two Kschlovkyans to get out of here...though, don't say this to anyone, but I think Huang, Dickard or Yoku are the most likely ones to commit murder." Alistair said.
"That might not be true though. People lie about their intentions all the time. It's pretty likely that someone like Kerigo or Kazumi could attempt to kill someone to get out of here and possibly succeed." Nicole said.
"Yeah, Kazumi is pretty suspicious. Not to mention the creepy old guy from 10, he was the leader of a group that tried to take over their own city, country or whatever they were doing." Alistair said.
"It's not like Manuel is the only shady guy around, Minami and Kita were pretty quiet about their lives during the introductions, so they're probably hiding something." Nicole said.
Nicole then thought of something, putting her hand to her chin.
"...Although, it is odd..." Nicole said.
"What is odd?" Alistair asked.
"With a few exceptions, most of the people here are pretty influential in their home universes. I mean, the chief justice of universe 8, the millitary generals of 12 and 2, a mayors aide,a Sultan and a former rebellion leader? there's just no way these guys were kidnapped coincedentally." Nicole said.
"Guess so. I'm mostly curious about what F wants out of all of this, bringing us here and having us to kill each other. Their motivations...don't make any logical sense." Alistair said.
Before the conversation continues, the monitor started up and F was on screen.
"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your little bonding session, but you might need to go to the gym. I have something pretty important to show you." F said
The monitor closed...before F appeared again.
"That includes you too, Yoku." F said.
"Not budging!" Yoku yelled out from his room.
A few minutes later, everyone else was in the gymnasium.
Yoku walked right into the gym, followed up by Manuel.
"...How'd you get him out of his room?" Dimitri asked Manuel, looking surprised.
"I convinced him." Manuel simply said.
Once everyone arrived in the gym...
the Monitor wasn't even on, but there was something significantly different in this room, than the last time they had all gathered together here.
There was a small, table with a purple drape over it, with sixteen envelopes on it, each one was addressed to someone in the room.
And each one, had handwriting that was recognized by the person it was addressed to.
"T..This is Akemi's writing.."Fujiko muttered, her eyes widening as she held the envelope addressed to her.
Each person walked up to the table, picking up each letter addressed to themselves.
Amenhotep opened his letter and his eyes widened.
Sidra read his letter, looking shocked.
"...It's from my family, from the aquatic city I came from before I moved on the surface world." Sidra said.
Dimitri hurried over to his one and opened it, finding to to be a letter written by his father, as he suspected.
"W..What's with these letters?"He asked, scrunching up the paper accidentally as his grip tightened on it.
"It's our motive."Kerigo said, staring at his own, unopened envelope. "F gave us a motive to get out of here."
"...Just as I figured." Manuel said, looking at his envelope that had yet to be opened.
The sound of an envelope being dropped was heard
They turned their heads and saw Amenhotep walking out of the area.
"Ah, A-Amenhotep, wait!" Fujiko called out, running after him.
Minami placed both hers and Kita's into her raincoat's pockets without opening either of them.
Dickard rolled his eyes at his letter.
"Classic K." Dickard said, putting his letter in his pocket, looking annoyed.
"I...need to be alone for awhile." Nicole sighed, walking out of the gym aswell, holding her letter in her fist.
Yoku tossed his envelope in the garbage, looking pissed, walking out of the gym.
Manuel din't open his envelope and walked out of the gym.
Chuo placed his inside his sleeve and looked at everyone else in the room, gauging their reactions.
Eventually, he worked up the ability to ask a single question.
"What now?" Chuo asked.
"..I suppose we just try to eat dinner, and then go to bed."Kerigo frowned. "Hopefully when we wake up tomorrow, nobody will have been killed."
Kazumi threw the envelope away and walked out, followed up by everyone else
Sidra looked at his letter and sighed.
"...There is no way someone won't try to kill anyone after this." Sidra said.
Sidra put the letter in his pocket before he left the gym, leaving it empty.
Everyone went to have dinner, except Amenhotep and Nicole, and it was pretty quiet. Most of them weren't able to say anything thanks to what each discovered on their own letters. All of them were just hoping that no one would die in the next day as a result of this.
In the next day.
It was morning time.
Sidra was currently sleeping in his room till he smelt something weird.
Sidra opened his eyes, continuing to smell.
It smelt like.
"...Smoke?" Sidra asked.
Sidra got out of bed and when he turned his head, he saw smoke peering into his room, beneath the door.
Sidra's eyes widened.
"S-shit!" Sidra yelled.
With panic welling up inside of him, he ran towards the door and pushed it open with success.
He ran out and tried to locate the source of the smoke.
Sidra saw the smoke coming from a door with the trashcan icon on it.
"The trash room. What's going on in there?" Sidra asked.
Sidra rushed into the room and stopped.
To his horror, he saw the incinerator was turned on and two human legs were peering out of the machine, not moving.
"H-Holy!" Sidra said.
Sidra ran to the machine and turned it off by pressing the red button.
The incinerator stopped. Sidra then pulled out whoever was inside the machine.
It was...Yoku.
His skin was charred from the fire, hand prints all over his neck and a injury mark on his head.
Sidra dropped Yoku on the floor, looking at his corpse.
"...A...A...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sidra screamed.
Shortly after, Yaruda and Fujiko walked in; looking mildly annoyed.
"W-who the fuck left the incinerator-Euugh!?"He yelped, stumbling backwards as soon as he entered the room.
Fujiko managed to keep her scream inside her throat- but her terror was visible on her face.
The Monitor turned on.
"Hey, Guys. One of you went and killed someone! Can you believe it? How Rude!
Everyone please meet up in the gymnasium- so we can talk about this properly!"
The Monitor turned off
Fujiko put her hands to her chest.
"...T-This means...the letters got to somebody after all..." Fujiko said.
Sidra looked at the corpse, still looking shocked.
"...F-Fuck. Din't imagine he would be the one to die." Sidra muttered.
"...W-We should go." Yaruda said.
Sidra turned around, slowly nodding as they walked out of the incinerator. The image of Yoku's corpse still planted in their minds.
At the gym, everyone gathered there.
Sidra, Yaruda and Fujiko there.
"What happened?" Dimitri asked.
"And who died?" Dickard asked.
"...It...was Yoku who died." Fujiko said, still looking shaken.
"That was pretty obvious. Yoku was the only one who wasn't here, after all." Dimitri said.
And then, the Monitor turned on.
"Hey, guys, first off, I just have to say, thank to you whoever got this killing game started, and also, thank you to whoever decided to target Yoku in particular. He was getting very, very annoying.
Now then, if I recall correctly- yesterday you guys were talking to yourselves about what would happen after someone died, didn't you? well, ponder no more because I'm here to explain everything!"
"Stop babbling and do it already." Yaruda told F.
"Okay, so, you have one hour to find out how Yoku died and who killed him. After which, a trial will be held to argue our thoughts and decide who is the guilty horse. Guess wrong aaand everyone dies except the killer.”
"What!?"Nicole exclaimed. "Just like that!?"
"Yep, see, if the killers going to be willing to throw one life away to leave this place- then they should also be willing to throw every other life away as well, right?
aaand, it's all the more incentive for everyone who didn't kill to find out who did it~"
"Still, everyone dies but the killer?"She asked. "What kind of bullshit is that!? And this trial! Are you serious about any of this shit!? Why do we need to go through with all of this!? What the Fuck is your problem!"
"Ooooh, Nicole. I think you'll find I'm very serious about this. But, if i were you I'd be focused more on the killer among you than myself- but if you'd really like to see how serious I can be, then go ahead, keep talking.."
Nicole, intimidated by F's new, chilling, tone, backed up- her fury vanishing in a instant.
Amenhotep was visibly sweating, looking nervous as hell.
Dickard and Alistair looked at each other.
"...Hm." Kazumi said.
"Now then, for this hour you have free reign of the floor you can go to.
You can even visit someone elses room if you so choose- or ;and I'm sure Dickard will be happy to hear this; enter the bathroom of the opposite sex, or their changing rooms and such. I'm a fair judge and I'm not going to let any evidence get hidden that easily.
Of course, whether there actually is any evidence in those rooms is a different story..
Happy Investigating!"
As the monitor was about to turn off, Minami called out.
"Wait."Minami said "..What happens if the culprit is found during the trial?"
"..Then they get executed. duh."
"Executed, how?" Kazumi asked.
"the way murderers on death row usually are executed
Bye for real, this time!"
The monitor turned off.
"...E-Executed?" Chuo asked.
Everyone then slowly turned to each other, looking at one and another with suspicious and doubt. As one of them finally killed a person and one of them in this room could be the one who did it. And it's up to them to figure who did it, or else, all of them will die.
“...Shit” Sidra muttered.

F: The Killing Game Chapter 1: The Things We Do For Family Killing Life
...
Everyone was silent for a few minutes, looking at each other knowing that someone among them had killed Yoku.
Sure, Yoku was far from likeable, He complained all the time and spent as much time as he could inside his room, but given the circumstances- no one could really blame him for that.
And somehow, despite him closing himself off from the rest of the group in a attempt to not be caught up in this, he was the first one gone.
"...Where is the body?" Kerigo asked Fujiko, breaking the silence.
"...It's in the trash room." Fujiko said.
"Can you accompany me to that room, I want to see the body for myself." Kerigo said.
Fujiko slowly nodded as she lead Kerigo out of the gym.
"...I'm going after them. I did find the body myself and make sure they don't miss any important details." Sidra said.
"Alright." Kita said.
Everyone else was still shocked about Yoku to even respond.
Sidra walked out of the gym and went to the trash room.
Kerigo was currently inspecting Yoku's burned up body while Fujiko was looking down on it.
"...There are handprints on his neck, and a wound on his head." Kerigo pointed out as he examined the body.
He clearly was formulating theories in his mind as to why they were there and how they played into this; but he wasn't voicing them.
"I guess he got into a fight with the killer if we look at the hand marks, meaning he was strangled...then he got tossed into the incinerator?" Sidra guessed.
"He could of been tossed into the incinerator after he was already killed. In an attempt to dispose of the body." Kerigo said.
Fujiko looked from Yoku's body to the dusty floor, noticing some small footprints that had yet to be mentioned.
"Are these your footprints?" Fujiko asked Sidra.
Sidra looked at the prints on the floor.
"...No, they are not mine." Sidra said.
He looked at Yoku's feet.
"And they don't match Yoku's size at all." Sidra said.
"Between the handprints and those footprints, we might be able to find the killer by just investigating this room alone." Kerigo said.
He turned to Sidra.
"Can you find everyone else and get them here? I'd like to see if their hands and feet match with these prints, and I don't want to risk anyone to tamper with the crime scene." Kerigo said.
Sidra nodded and went back to the gym to get everyone else.
Everyone entered in the garbage room.
"So, what's this about?" Huang asked.
"I found some hand and footprints. If we match these with anyone in this room, we'll be able to figure out the killer. If any of you refuse, the answer will be obvious." Kerigo said.
They all looked at each other as Kerigo began testing their footprints.
The ones that seem to match are Amenhotep, Huang, Alistair and Dimitri. However, that wasn't enough to determine the killer's identity since they had the same foot size.
"Alright, now let's try the handprints." Kerigo said.
And the conclusive matches were: Manuel, Kazumi, Kita, Dickard, Alistair and Amenhotep. Once again, same size.
"I already narrowed down the culprits considerably. Miss Kimura, I entrust you to watch over the body and make sure no one here messes with the crime scene while I check out elsewhere." Kerigo said.
Kerigo left the room.
Yaruda and Dimitri both followed him, not trusting him to be on his own for some reason.
"So, guess that means we are done checking the roasted chicken's body?" Dickard asked.
"Yoku's body couldn't of been the only thing that was thrown into the incinerator. We should search it inside and out." Kazumi declared.
"I'll do it." Kita said.
Kita looked inside the incinerator to find anything important in there.
She was able to spot many blue pieces of shard aswell a knife that looked rusty, presumably from the fire.
"I see some strange blue shards and a rusty knife. Might be the murder weapon." Kita guessed.
Nicole looked at Yoku's corpse.
"...Don't see any stab wounds." Nicole said.
Meanwhile, Kerigo had walked out of Minami's Room, Yaruda and Dimitri were both standing in the hallway.
"What are you doing?" Yaruda asked.
"I'm collecting as many of the motive letters I was able to find. I couldn't find any in Minami's room sadly, but I already read both of your letters." Kerigo said.
"I doubt Dimitri could kill anyone. Kid's too small and all of that smoke caused him to go into a coughing fit as soon as he left his room earlier." Yaruda said.
"Why would that happen? There wasn't too much smoke." Kerigo said.
"Maybe not too much smoke for you, but there wasn't anywhere near that much smoke in universe 9, ever. The air was always clean there." Dimitri said.
"Well, this was interesting to hear." Kerigo said, before he walked away.
He decided to check out the victim's room, thinking he could find a clue as to what he was doing outside.
The Three entered Yoku's room.
His room looked fancy, makes sense since he was rich. There was a portrait of a woman with short yellow hair on the wall
Dimitri looked at the portrait.
"...That lady is way too young to even be in a relationship with this guy." Dimitri said.
There was a crumbled paper laying in the trash can.
Kerigo picked up the crumpled paper and tried to uncrumple it; hoping to read it's contents.
‘I managed to find an exit to this place that we can both use to escape. Let’s meet in the trash room,’
This was definitely not Yoku’s envelope
"...Yoku must have been a whole new level of idiot if he believed this letter." Kerigo sighed.
"Is there a name on the letter?" Yaruda asked.
"There isn't. There doesn't seem to be anything else of note in here. I'm gonna continue with my own investigation and try to find more of those motive letters." Kerigo said, leaving the room.
Elsewhere.
Minami was currently putting the shard pieces back together with superglue while Huang was inspecting the knife.
"...Can anyone check out the kitchen to see if a knife is missing?" Huang asked.
"I could." Chuo volunteered and went to do so.
Chuo entered in the kitchen and inspected the knives.
When he saw the middle spot of the knife set, there wasn’t a knife there.
Upon seeing that, Chuo made it back to the trash room.
"A knife is missing." Chuo reported.
"Then clearly, this *was* that knife." Huang said, rolling his eyes.
When he turned the knife around, he raised an eyebrow.
"...What the?" Huang asked.
"What's wrong? You found something?" Alistair asked.
"...There is some strange orange colored liquid on the back of the knife." Huang said, as she showed everyone else the knife. The strange liquid was indeed on the back on the knife.
"...What on Earth could that liquid be?" Fujiko asked.
"Maybe it's juice. Or maybe Yoku's blood changed color after it was thrown into the fire?" Dickard guessed.
"Blood turns brown when it rusts, so that couldn't be it." Kita contradicted.
"Blood turns orange in my Universe." Dickard said.
"That would only work if Yoku was from Universe 7." Manuel said.
Sidra turned to Minami.
"Are you finished yet?" Sidra asked.
"Just wait a second, okay?" Minami asked.
A second passed and...
"Okay, now I'm done!...I think." Minami said.
She held a blue vase that was now glued back together.
Amenhotep, once he saw that, he gasped.
"I recognize that vase! Cleopatra gave it to me as a anniversary present. I was looking for it all over the place!" Amenhotep said.
“Your vase?” Kazumi asked, his, Manuel and Huang’s heads turned to Amenhotep.
Amenhotep's eyes widened, realizing what he just said right now.
"...I....I din't do it! I wouldn't do this!" Amenhotep said.
"I doubt a killer would use their own precious item to kill someone like this." Chuo said.
"Yeah, he has a point there." Alistair said.
"I want you all to remember that Amenhotep was very upset when he received his letter. That would be the reason why he would do it." Kazumi said.
"But even so, I wouldn't kill anyone in cold blood!" Amenhotep said.
"A killer wouldn't admit to his own crime either. You saying that you din't do it won't help much, dude." Nicole sighed.
"Tell us what you did after you left the gym, if you want us to believe you are innocent." Sidra said.
"I went back into my room and I was upset. Fujiko knocked on my door and I opened it. We talked a bit till I closed the door and went to sleep. When I woke up, the vase was gone and I was looking for it all over the place." Amenhotep said.
"Did you hear or saw anyone going into your room?" Kita asked.
"I din't and I din't let anyone else in either." Amenhotep said.
Sidra turned his head to Fujiko.
"Did you actually talk to him?" Sidra asked.
"I did. We talked about each other's letters for a bit." Fujiko said.
"Still, I find his statement hard to swallow." Huang said.
"You can all check my room if you don't want to believe me." Amenhotep said.
"Perhaps I can go to check it out for myself." Manuel suggested.
"I'm going aswell." Nicole decided.
"And I'm coming too." Sidra said.
"That goes double for me...so I can of course keep Nic safe if something goes down." Dickard smiled.
Nicole stared at Dickard before she walked out of the trash room.
They went to Amenhotep’s room which looked like a Egyptian palace room.
There was a mark on the dusty table with a price tag on it that was ripped off from something
Nicole looked at the table and looked at Amenhotep.
"What's with the table? Why is there a mark on it?" Nicole asked, pointing at it.
"My vase was put there when I first entered the room. F could of been nice to clean the table, it's too dusty." Amenhotep said.
"And the price tag?" Manuel asked, picking it up from the table.
"The price tag was on the vase. Cleopatra bought it from some planet, I can’t remember what it was though." Amenhotep said.
"Why the hell would you keep a price tag with you?" Dickard asked.
"It holds a sentimental value to me." Amenhotep answered.
"Wow. You're weird." Dickard said.
Nicole took the price tag from Manuel as she put her finger into her mouth as she inspected the price tag- to see if she could tell where Cleopatra brought it.
Besides the number of the price, there din’t seem to be any indication about the planet or store his wife bought from.
"...So much for that." Nicole sighed.
She put the price tag in her pocket just because.
"There doesn't seem to be anything else of note in here. I'm afraid Amenhotep is the most likely culprit." Manuel said.
"...I'm innocent. I din't do it. I din't kill Yoku and I wouldn't use my own vase to kill him. You all have to believe me!" Amenhotep said.
"...I believe him." Sidra said.
"Why?" Dickard asked.
"Me and the people from 12 have good bullshit detectors. And I can sense that Amenhotep's words are genuine." Sidra said.
"Amenhotep isn't acting like he is lying. While he does look like the obvious suspect, I don't think he did it." Nicole said.
"Oh, thank you. Atleast you two have some common sense." Amenhotep sighed.
Manuel frowned, looking around the room.
"The trash room and Amenhotep's rooms are cleared out and Kerigo checked Yoku's room. I believe this investigation is nearly finished." Manuel said.
"We haven't seen Yoku's envelope. Might not be related, but might aswell check it out. I think he threw it in the trash in the gymnasium." Sidra said.
"I doubt his envelope had anything to do with this." Nicole said.
"Dickard, would you be kind to find Yoku's envelope?" Manuel asked.
"...Why?" Dickard asked, folding his arms.
Manuel turned to Dickard, giving him a look.
Dickard sighed as he walked out of the room.
Dickard came back.
"Yeah, the envelope is irrevelant. It's from Yoku's daddy, threatening to cut him out of his will. Gee, that was important to know." Dickard deadpanned.
"...How is the old timer's dad still alive?" Nicole asked.
"Who the fuck knows and cares?" Dickard asked.
"I think we managed to collect all the clues we could of been able to gather. Let's go back to the others and try to make sense of all of this." Sidra said.
They all left Amenhotep's room and encountered Dimitri, Kerigo and Yaruda.
"Did you guys find anything?" Nicole asked.
"We only found a letter in the victim's room. It doesn't mention the culprit's name but it does have some information, regarding how Yoku got out of his room." Kerigo said.
"And Yoku had a crush on a woman who is younger than him." Dimitri said.
"...I din't need to know this." Nicole said.
"Let's regroup with the others." Sidra said.
Kerigo nodded.
Then, they met up with everyone else in the trash room, where Yoku's body was.
and at that moment...
"Aaand that's a hour, folks!
You'll be happy to know that the gate that the blocking off the next floor is gone now!
There's a big red door in that floor that I'd like you all to go through so the trial can begin!"
The monitor turned off.
Everyone then looked at each other, some with suspicious while some were being hopeful that the person they trust isn't a murdered.
"...Let's go." Kazumi said.
They went into the next floor and were in front of the large red door F talked about.
Kerigo opened the door and they went inside.
They were in the room and there was a elevator there.
"I suppose this elevator leads to the trial grounds. I've been in trials before but I'm more used to being the judge rulling over the court than being one of the jury members." Kerigo said.
"Might aswell just go in and get this over with." Chuo frowned.
Everyone went inside the elevator and it began descending down.
All of them were quiet as the elevator was going down, not saying a word or looking at each other.
Eventually, the elevator landed down and they arrived.
They appeared to be in a courtroom like setting.
Except the room itself looked like a Egyptian palace room, given by the décor. Chances are, this look was temporary.
There was a circle with podiums where they supposedly have to stay at, as evidenced by the picture of Yoku that was there, except it had a large X on it.
There was a monitor laying on a throne with F on the screen
"Go on then, everyone, get to your seats"
"..You call this a courtroom?"Kerigo asked. "This looks nothing like one."
"It's not a courtroom, it's a 16-way debate room, so go on everyone. Take your seats and get started."
Sidra's own seat was directly in front of F's throne; meaning F's monitor was directly behind him. Going clockwise, everyone was positioned in this order.
Sidra, Chuo, Amenhotep, Minami, Dimitri, Kerigo, Huang, Fujiko, Alistair, Yaruda, Kita, Nicole, Manuel, Dickard, Kazumi, and finally, on Sidra's right side, was the picture of Yoku. Where the old man would've stood had he survived to this point.
"When the trial is finished, you will all vote as to who you think the guilty party is. If you vote correctly, then they will be executed and you'll get to continue living here. if you all vote incorrectly- then the killer gets away with it, and it's everyone else who dies.
You have as long as you think you need, just tell me you feel like voting when you've all made up your minds!"

F: The Killing Game Chapter 1: The Things We Do For Family Trial Life
And so, the trial begin.
In this trial, there will be only one verdict.
The not Guilty verdict for the culprit, which will result in everyone dead.
Or the Guilty verdict, and the murderer will die while everyone else will live.
Either they guess right or wrong. It's up to them.
"Right...so, what should we discuss first?" Alistair asked.
"Let's just get this over with."Kerigo sighed.
"The Murderer is either Amenhotep or Alistair. They are the only two who's footprints and handprints both match the footprints and handprints at the scene."He continued.
"Out of the two, Amenhotep's the most suspicious."Kita said.
"I did not kill Yoku! How many times do I have to say this? I swear to Horus to Seth that I din't do it!" Amenhotep yelled out.
"Swearing to your fictional Egyptian Gods isn't gonna make things better for you. Your reaction to the envelope aswell as the vase from your room that was used on Yoku proves otherwise." Huang said.
"Yoku was acting like a stubborn old goat who wouldn't leave his own room. Even if I actually wanted to murder someone to reunite with my family, I would of had a hard time convincing Yoku to get out of his room." Amenhotep stated.
"Someone actually 'did' manage to convince Yoku to leave his room, by sending him this little note." Kerigo said.
Kerigo pulled out the note he found in Yoku's room.
"Found it in Yoku's bin. Are all of you curious to know what's on the note?" Kerigo asked, looking smug.
"Oh, just spit it out already, dude. Now's not the time to be overdramatic." Yaruda said.
"Alright." Kerigo said.
Kerigo cleared his throat, reading the letter.
"I managed to find an exit to this place that we can both use to escape. Let's meet in the trash room." Kerigo read.
"He actually fell for that?...What a fucking retard" Huang said.
"That must be the reason why Yoku was out of his room. He went into the trash room to meet the person who claimed that they found an exit and then-" Fujiko said.
"Then the killer stabbed Yoku with the knife before tossing him into the trash incinerator!" Dickard declared, making up this conclusion on the stop.
Fujiko and Kazumi stared at him in response.
"...That does not make any sense." Kazumi said.
"It had to be awhile till everyone else discovered Yoku's body. By then, the blood could of dried off by the time Sidra got there." Dickard said.
"No, that's wrong. Yoku's body din't have any stab wounds. I saw his body myself. He wasn't stabbed." Sidra said.
"And besides the knife, there were other factors that contributed into Yoku's murder." Manuel said.
"He got smashed head in the with Amenhotep's vase and then was strangled to death." Nicole said.
"Hold on, let us think for a moment. If Yoku wasn't stabbed, then the knife wasn't used at all. What was that knife doing in the incinerator then?" Minami asked.
Once he heard that, Sidra began thinking.
Logically, since Yoku din't have any stab wounds, he did not get stabbed period. And since the killer had the vase, he din't need a knife. Which could mean only one thing....
"...It's possible...the weapon din't belong to the killer." Sidra said.
"What do you mean by that?" Huang asked.
"Yoku was the most paranoid guy out of all of us. I don't think he was that stupid to listen to some random person's claim without being armed, in case this was a trap." Sidra said.
"...That does make some sense." Kita spoke.
"So...Yoku brought the knife?" Minami asked.
"The old man brought the knife and Amenhotep brought his own vase. Amenhotep took Yoku by surprise and knocked him out, before choking him to death and throwing everything into the incinerator." Dimitri said.
"Not to mention, Amenhotep is pretty small. Thanks to his size, Yoku couldn't of been able to get a clear stab at Amenhotep." Huang added.
"I'll ignore that you are being very rude about my own size and I want to mention that I lack the physical strength to lift the vase, much less use it to smash Yoku's head who was taller than me." Amenhotep said.
"You could of simply just threw the vase and smashed his head in." Dickard said.
"You are saying that, but it's your vase. Who else could of taken it from your room?" Dimitri asked Amenhotep.
"I don't know, I din't see or let anyone in. The only person I talked to before Yoku died was Fujiko and...that's about it." Amenhotep said.
"...So, Fujiko stole your vase and killed Yoku?" Dickard asked.
"Don't be absurd. I wouldn't do something like that and I din't step one foot in Amenhotep's room to begin with." Fujiko said.
"You did talk to Amenhotep, though." Nicole said.
"I did. But I repeat, I never actually entered in his room." Fujiko said.
"Words are wind. Anyone can say that they're Jesus Christ, but would anyone believe them? For all we know, you could of conspired with Amenhotep to get out of this place by killing Yoku. You were just as upset as he was when you received the letter. That way, Amenhotep could of gave you his vase so he wouldn't do the dirty deed himself." Huang said.
Fujiko glared at Huang, her forehead turning red.
"How Dare you! How.. Fucking Dare you! To Insinuate that I'd kill an elderly citizen!" Fujiko yelled.
"Insinuate? he literally accused you."Yaruda deadpanned.
"I doubt that Amenhotep just gave the Lamp to Fujiko."Nicole sighed. "If he handed it to her then there's no way the price tag would've ripped."
"Either way, as far as it goes, the only evidence that links to Alistair being the killer are only the foot and hand prints. As for the rest, everyone else points to Amenhotep. Even if he would claim that he din't write the letter, there would be no proof saying otherwise." Kazumi asid.
"It appears we reached an early conclusion then. Amenhotep is the killer." Manuel said.
"...Guys..."
Amenhotep was now sweating, looking desperate.
"...I...did not have anything to do with this. Please, I want you all to think about this before you declare me guilty. I have a wife and son back home. Even if this meant that I wouldn't be able to see them again, I would never kill a person who doesn't deserve it. Sidra, Nicole, Fujiko, or someone, just show them that I'm innocent!" Amenhotep said.
Fujiko looked at Amenhotep.
"...I'm sorry." Fujiko sighed.
Sidra tried to think of something to prove Amenhotep innocent.
"Guys?"
"Enough of your execuses, it's over. F, we made up our minds. Amenhotep is the-"
"GUYS!...Just slow down a bit." Chuo said, butting himself right in the argument.
"What!?" Huang asked Chuo.
Chuo nervously twiddled with his thumbs.
"...Some stuff...just isn't adding up. Like...what about the strange liquid on Yoku's knife?" Chuo asked.
"...The liquid." Sidra said
"Of course! The liquid *is* blood!" Minami pipped up.
"It can't be human blood, though. It's orange, no humans have orange blood." Fujiko said.
"I'm pretty sure I said that blood in 7 turns orange when it rusts." Dickard said.
"That's because it's not human blood!" Minami said.
"...Then this means Yoku wasn't taken by surprise. He managed to stab the killer. The liquid is the killer's blood." Sidra said.
"But the only ones who have the color of the blood on the knife are the four who aren't humans:Kerigo, Yaruda, Alistair and you, Sidra." Manuel said.
"Orange is definitely not the color of my blood." Sidra said.
"Prove it, dude." Dickard said.
"Fine. Hey F, give me something sharp." Sidra said.
A Knife fell from the ceiling; landing wedged into Sidra's podium.
Chuo visibly flinched away from it.
"This should do." Sidra said.
Sidra picked up the knife and held it across his arm...
Then he shoved the knife right into his own arm, making a scar in the process.
Everyone else gasped.
"W-what the hell are you doing!?" Huang asked, confused by why Sidra suddenly mutilating himself.
"Proving a point!" Sidra said, before he pulled the knife, not even screaming in pain.
The knife was now dripping with blue blood.
"Is that enough proof?" Sidra asked.
Nicole, Kita, Fujiko and Kazumi nodded.
"Goodie." Sidra grinned before he gestured the knife at Kerigo, Yaruda and Alistair.
"Who's next?" Sidra asked.
Kerigo sighed.
He held his hand up to his mouth and bit into his hand, Yaruda flinched as the judge did this.
Kerigo released his grip on his hand and held it out, blood with the consistency of wine; and a kind of reddish-brownish colour dripping from the bite mark.
"Did you seriously just bite your hand..?"Yaruda asked, looking sickened.
"THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!?" Huang asked, who was on the verge of vomiting.
Dickard walked a bit close to Nicole.
"You know, these guys are pretty fucked up." Dickard whispered.
Nicole simply shrugged Dickard off, a bit disgusted by Sidra and Kerigo's attempts at proving their innocence.
Manuel looked at Alistair.
"Well, Mr.Eldirass?" Manuel asked.
Alistair simply looked at Sidra, Kerigo and everyone else...and folded his arms.
"...Yeah, I'm not cutting myself." Alistair said.
"So, it was you?" Sidra asked.
"...However...I don't think some bloodstain would be enough to close the case. There are a few flaws with your logic." Alistair said.
"And those flaws are?"Minami asked, tilting her head to the side as she spoke.
"Well, for one thing...how the hell would of I've been able to get into Amenhotep's room, steal the vase and then go into Yoku's room undetected? Clearly not through the windows since well, those are blocked. And definitely can't squeeze himself through the doorgap, plus my transceiver isn't working and I can't portals...so, how do you explain that?" Alistair asked.
"...You're a neonyte, right?" Minami asked. "Each Neonyte has a power, with the element their power is based around changing depending on their blood type.
Couldn't you have used your blood power to get into his room?"
"Since my blood is apparently orange, anything related to orange would be time travel. Time travel does not mean he can teleport in people's rooms." Alistair said.
"Well." Minami tried to say.
"Also, another fun fact, there was a short of period of time before Yoku's body was discovered. With that in mind, my shirt would of been stained with his own blood since 'I' got stabbed by Yoku. I wouldn't of had time to change clothes and join up the rest. Plus, no one saw me with a bloody shirt, now did they?" Alistair asked.
"Obviously, you could be hiding the stab wound." Kerigo said.
Alistair lifted his shirt, revealing no wound whatsoever.
"There, you see? No stab wound. Should I drop my pants too to see if there is a scar?" Alistair asked.
"There won't be any need for that." Fujiko said.
"Well, if it's not blood. then what the hell is that liquid?"Nicole asked.
"It actually is blood. However, it is not the main Orange type of Neonytian blood." Manuel said.
Alistair stared intently at Manuel.
"...What do you mean by that?" Alistair asked.
"I've been doing some research on Neonytes back when I was with the rebels and there is another orange type. The grey/dried orange blood. As the file describes:Vacuum, Myth, Resignation. So, with that said, what abilities would the Neonyte who has that blood type posses?" Manuel asked everyone.
"Power over nothing?"Dimitri asked.
"Exactly. And that power comes with making clones of themselves, or avoid detection...or simply be invisible to the naked eye." Manuel said.
"...If he has invisibility, he could of used it to sneak into Amenhotep and Yoku's rooms every time they would open the door, like when Amenhotep opened the door for Fujiko or when Yoku went in his room. Also, during his encounter with Yoku." Kazumi said.
Alistair lowered his eyebrows, looking annoyed.
"Okay, sure, but why a vase? If I wanted to kill Yoku, why would I use a freaking vase? I could of simply did what Yoku did by going into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. It's simple as that." Alistair said.
"To pin the blame on Amenhotep." Kita simply said.
"Amenhotep's outburst when he saw the letter would of been enough to suspect him, I wouldn't of needed the vase. There is nothing to connect me with the vase." Alistair said.
"Hold it! There is proof! There was a price tag on the vase and you did say during the introductions that you own a shop back in Universe 11." Nicole said.
"...Oh, really? May I ask what's written on that price tag, Young lady? The only thing that's written there" Alistair asked.
"...Uh...120$ dollars?" Nicole asked.
Alistair slammed his fist against the table, making a crack.
"E-FUCKING-XACTLY!" Alistair yelled out.
Nicole and Chuo jumped at Alistair's reaction.
"HOW THE FUCK WOULD A PRICE TAG PROVE THAT IT CAME FROM MY SHOP? THERE ARE MILLIONS OF STORES OWNED BY OTHER NEONYTES IN THE GALAXIES! HELL, THE SPACE PIRATES HAVE THEIR OWN BLACK MARKET STORE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THE VASE COULD OF BEEN FROM EITHER ONE OF THOSE! ARE YOU ALSO SAYING THAT THE ONE WHO KILLED KING VULCAN WAS ALSO THE GUY WHO ASSASSINATED JFK!?" Alistair asked
"...Honestly, even if the vase came from his shop, so what?"Kerigo asked. "The Price tag itself or where the shop came from is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the vase being used in the crime was what caused so many people to suspect Amenhotep. If that vase wasn't there Amenhotep would still be suspected, but nowhere near as much as he is. And the only one who would benefit from Amenhotep being suspected this much is you. And that outburst right there seals it."
"IT DOESN'T SEAL SHIT! YOU ALL JUMPED ON MY ASS EVER SINCE THE ORANGE BLOOD THING! FOR ALL YOU KNOW, YOKU COULD OF BEEN THROWING THAT KNIFE AROUND AIMLESSLY WHILE FIGHTING AMENHOTEP AND HIT A BOTTLE FULL OF JUICE INSTEAD! THOSE HAND AND FOOT MARKS ON YOKU'S BLOOD WILL NOT PROVE ANYTHING SINCE ALMOST EVERYONE HAS THE SAME MATCH, AMENHOTEP INCLUDED! AND I'M HAVING A BREAKDOWN BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE ACCUSING ME OF STUPID SHIT! I BET MOST OF YOU WOULD BE A TINY BIT PISSED TOO" Alistair yelled.
Sidra then realized something.
"...If those marks on Yoku's corpse almost match everyone so that Alistair wouldn't be singled...maybe there is something else that only Alistair's handprint would match and no one else." Sidra thought.
He turned to Nicole.
"Turn the price tag around." Sidra said, while Alistair was screaming stuff like 'SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE! BASTARD! LIAR! DEGENERATES!' in the background
While flinching due to Alistair constantly screaming, Nicole did turn the price tag around.
There appeared to be finger marks on the back on the tag, aswell as something small written on the bottom of the tag.
Sidra then took the tag from Nicole before turning to Alistair.
"Hey, Al. You want evidence?" Sidra asked.
"YES! Show me anything that would link me to the murder weapon and no one else!" Alistair said.
"Alright, catch." Sidra said, tossing the tag at Alistair.
The tag landed in Alistair's hand as he clenched the back with his finger before he stared at Sidra.
"...Okay, what does this exactly have to pro-..."
Alistor turned pale as soon as he saw his fingers matching with the tag's marks and the words on the back:
'The Eldirass Family Shop.'
"That settles it." Sidra said.
Alistair's remained there, frozen as a statue as the world was now slowly crushing in front of him like a armada of cars.
"Well, this was pretty obvious." Kerigo said.
"Now with that out of the way, it's time we get a clear picture of everything that's happened before we vote." Kazumi said.
"I took care of that." Yaruda said, as he held up...
A manga with pictures of the entire crime scene from start to finish, all personally drawn by Yaruda.
"...When did you have time to draw this during the trial?" Huang asked.
F's monitor turned on.
"Actually, I drew that and just dumped it in Yaruda's Lap.
Looks just like his old Japanese animes, doesn't it?"
"...He did not do that." Yaruda sighed.
His minor annoyance faded away as he looked to Alistair.
"..So, I guess that's it, huh."He sighed.
Alistair just stood there, with a sad expression on his face.
"...Fuck...no." Alistair said.
"Welp, it's clear everyone made up their minds. Time to cast your votes and see the lucky campers who will walk out of here with their lives, or with their graves. Choose wisely!" F said
Everyone then casted their votes.
The monitor switched to a footage of a slot machine with three icons.
F pulled the lever and the the three icons landed on...
...Alistair Eldirass.
"DING, DING! We have a winner! Alistair Eldirass from Universe 11!" F said.
"...Well, shit." Alistair sighed.
At that moment, his shirt was stained with dried-orange blood.
"...You...you're bleeding. There is blood on your shirt." Kita said, making the obvious comment.
Alistair lifted his shirt, revealing a mark on his belly.
"...Gotta say, I expected him to drop dead after I smashed his head in with the vase. He was tougher than I expected. If he aimed higher, I would of been the dead guy and he would of been here instead. But I doubt he would of been as subtle about it." Alistair said.
"...W-why? Why did you do this?" Fujiko asked, visibly distraught.
Alistair pulled out his envelope and gave it to Fujiko.
'Dad, it's me. It's been weeks since you were gone. We still believe that you are alive, but mom hasn't been doing so good. She took over the store while you were gone but she couldn't handle the stress and she collapsed. We took her to the hospital and the doctors are expecting too much from us, especially with Pallas's condition. We had the ISP and the Services look for you everywhere in the Multiverse but still nothing. So, if you receive, please come back home, dad. We need you'
-Angelia Eldirass
"...Oh." Fujiko said.
"...My son wasn't able to walk on his own feet ever since he was born. That's why I continued my dad's business so I could make enough money to get my son the robotic legs he needed to see him walk with his own eyes. It's no surprise that I wanted to get out of here the second I got the letter." Alistair said, looking at the floor.
Kerigo looked at the letter.
"..It's been weeks in universe 11.."Kerigo noticed.
"But still!"Dimitri exclaimed. "Just willing to throw all of our lives away! You think we don't have families we need to get back to as well, asshole!?"
"Well, I mean.. It's not like F revealed how murders and trials work yet."Minami said, trying to explain Alistair's perspective to the child. "Noone knew about this 'vote for each other' and 'everyone dies' until Yoku kicked it."
"But still! He shoulda just come clean about everything!" Dimitri yelled. "He was willing to let so many people die!.. E..Even if he didn't know he would at first, he still went through with it!"
Alistair sighed.
"The moment I saw the letter, I knew I had to do something quick. When I saw Amenhotep walking out being upset, I found the right guy to take the blame but I wasn't happy doing it. I chose Yoku because really, he was a piece of shit human who had everything handed over to him on a silver platter. I doubt anyone is actually sad about his passing. Rich assholes like him got everything he ever wanted, I on the other hand, had to work my ass off to support the people I care about." Alistair said.
"...Even so...Yoku was a human being. No matter what kind of a person was." Fujiko said.
"...Maybe." Alistair said.
He turned to Amenhotep.
"...I'm sorry about what I did. And I apologise to everyone else aswell. I...really din't mean for things to get out of hand." Alistiar said.
"...You could of talked to me about this...maybe we could of found a way to get out without murder." Amenhotep said, looking sad.
Alistair then turned to F's monitor, glaring at it.
"...I don't care what happens to me next. Just let me see my family one last time. That's all I ask." Alistair said.
"Well, then..
Yeah, I don't quite know how to say this but..
Youain'tgonnaseeyourfamilyagainandtheregoingtoneedtofindawaytolivewithoutyou."
Several eyes widened.
"W-What!?" Nicole asked.
"That's...that's just...cruel!" Amenhotep said.
"You can't do this! You are the one who pushed him into killing Yoku in the first place! You could atleast let him see his own wife, daughter and son!" Fujiko objected, looking angry.
"Sorry, but your opinion doesn't really matter here. Well, Alistair Eldirass of Universe 11. I've been preparing this since the trial began, and I'm pretty damn excited to try this thing out! We've got a special execution lined up for you! I hope you enjoy it!"
"...You...YOU DIRTY, TWO-FACED, WORM!" Alistair yelled.
Suddenly, a portal appeared beneath Alistair and he fell in it.
He painfully landed on the ground and slowly got up, looking around. He appeared to be on a pretty small area.
His eyes then widened, realizing where he was.
The scene slowly zooms out, revealing the area to be inside a Antaxite jewel, held by F.
F smiled as they put the Antaxite jewel on a pinball machine, that was next to them.
And...
The '0' score appeared.
F immediately started slamming the Antaxite Alistair was trapped in against the flippers.
Alistair was being tossed around in the area, getting visibly injured.
F then went on rapid mode and the ball was being repeteadly hit around so many times till F reached the 100000000 highscore and the jewel fell into the hole.
The Antaxite then landed in the F shop, with a price tag...and grey orange blood was splattered all over the Antaxite's inside.
Everyone looked downright horrified by what they just saw right now.
The Monitor, which was displaying this ..unique ..execution, then flipped back to it's usual siluhuette.
"...A Killer has been found, and removed from the remote society. His Soul sentenced to the Antaxite realm, as is ancient neonytian Custom.
However, a peace returned over the remote society. Knowing that the murderer who had slain the elder, would be unable to harm anyone else ever again."
"Alright, y'all can go back to living your lives here now."
The Monitor turned off.
"...that.. fucking ASSHOLE!"Dimitri yelled, tears streaming down his face as he furiously tried to scrub them away before anyone would notice.
Huang's eyes were twitching before he fell on the floor, trying to say something but he couldn't.
Kazumi, Manuel and Dickard were visibily sweating.
Sidra looked pretty damn pissed off however, his hands were glowing blue.
Fujiko stumbled away, holding her stomach- looking as though she was about to puke.
Minami put her hand to her mouth, her expression covered, while Kerigo was visibly biting into his lip.
Kita's reaction was invisible.
Chuo was shaking, his knees giving out from under him as he stared into nothing.
"W...Why..? Why.. why is... why.."
Amenhotep fell on his knees as he started to cry.
"...Well, I learned my lesson here:killing is pretty much a nope...well, see ya guys at dinner." Dickard said as he left the area, getting over this pretty quickly.
"...How the FUCK can he even say something like that!?"Dimitri asked, his face bright red. "I.. I. I-I-I-I-I!!"
As he stuttered, he ran out of the trial grounds.
"...Who else?"Nicole asked, wrapping her arms around her. "..Who else here.. was considering murder..?"
"...Not me. That's who. If this dickhead thinks he can trick me to kill for his amusement, he can kiss the end of my harpoon." Sidra declared as he left.
"...V-Very easy for y-you to say..." Huang said, finally getting the strength to speak
Nicole stumbled out of the room as she ran,
one by one, everyone managed to muster up the will to leave the room.
When they did, a Picture of Alistair sprung up from under the floor- right where his podium was.
like Yoku's; there was a X drawn over it, but there was a minor difference. Yoku's was a bright red X; and was slightly greyed out, but Alistair's was blacked out somewhat, and the X was the same dry orange colour as his blood.
...
Huang, Amenhotep, Dimitri and Nicole didn't turn up to dinner.
Fujiko was sitting on her seat. She din't grab anything to eat. Her face was pale the entire time and she didn't look anyone else in the eye.
Sidra's arm was bandaged after he stabbed himself and was holding a bottle of whiskey before he drank it all in one gulp.
Kazumi, Manuel and Dickard were there
Kerigo was there, eating some sliced up and neatly arranged golden apples.
After consuming some more slices, he looked at everyone else.
"...At the very least, I doubt another murder would happen for some time." Kerigo said.
"...Do you know how you sound right now?" Yaruda asked.
"As mean as it sounds, he has a point. Now all of us will know the consequences of our own actions in this place. It's clear that this game won't stop till there will be a few of us left. In a way, it's best to think of Yoku and Alistair as necessary sacrifices to give us a perspective on the future." Manuel said.
"It's clear to everyone what their deaths meant. It's best to leave it at that." Kazumi said, looking at Manuel.
Chuo spent a few seconds choking on his own words.
"...W-What...are we going to do about Yoku's body?" Chuo asked.
at that moment, the monitor turned on.
"Don't gotta worry about The Old Timer's Corpse. It's been disposed of and you should find most things are exactly as they were before this tragedy took place."
Then the monitor turned off.
"...What did F do with his body?" Kita asked under her breath.
"Probably dumped it in a pile of junk knowing F." Sidra said.
He then smashed the bottle against the floor.
"I'm gonna smash some stuff for possibly the entire night. Good night." Sidra said.
Sidra got up and left the cafeteria.
"...So...he is pissed." Dickard said, before taking a bite out of his pizza slice.
As Sidra walked to the sleeping quarters.
He saw Nicole was staring intently at Alistair's door. She looked really skittish.
Sidra simply turned his head to Nicole then to Alistair's door.
"...He is dead. There is no use thinking about it anymore." Sidra said.
"... I should've expected this... ...The one guy I bother to talk to here..."Nicole muttered, her voice quaking as she brushed past Sidra and barged into her own room, closing the door behind her.
Sidra simply sighed before he continued walking and went into his own room.
What he said to Nicole was also meant to himself. While Alistair's death was a massive dagger in everyone's hearts, they can't let the dagger be stuck and bled themselves to death. All they can do is move on...and hope that there is a path of light...that will lead them out of this dungeon...that will soon be painted with the blood of the next ones to hit the floor.
Meanwhile, as F watched Sidra going into his room, they were holding a list of the 16 participants before she drew line over Yoku and Alistair.
"Two down, 14 more to go. First case wasn't so bad, a bit predictable but still enjoyable. Next time should be a little more challenging...Hm, now, which motive should I pick for the next thing? So many to choose...and so much time on my hands to waste." F smiled.
End of Trial Life and Chapter 1: The Things We Do For Family
And just like prologue, another song occurred, sang by someone else.
Hello there, Welcome to the Eldirass Family Shop, The only place where you can find the most ancient and historical treasures Each collected from all over the world Rare items containing secrets that are yet to be unlocked Some that are too risky and complicated to understand But they are worth the price. So, what would you like?
Would you prefer this old stone from the Medieval period? This old vase that you can give to your husband as a anniversary present? Maybe these old ancient dinosaur fossils? This old sword that belonged to a royal family? Or how about this bullet that's been rumored to have killed a president?
What's that? None of these items caught your interest? Then perhaps I can give you something more valuable instead. Just follow me into the backroom. I may have what you are looking for.
Now then, what would you like? This dark apple that was picked up from a demon dimension? A few Antaxite jewels? A bead that can grant any desires you have? Seratite? A rare crystal from Universe 9? Highly advanced weaponry to dispose of your enemies? A ring that can detect a person's emotions? Or how about this interesting artefact that belonged to a Omnipotent from Universe 6? Ah, good choice. Thank you and please come again.
What's that? How did I get all this stuff? Well, I'm gonna share with you a little secret. But we have to keep this between ourselves. No one else has to hear about this. Okay? Alright.
The key to success is to latch onto any opportunity that's available to you. The market world is big and the competition is high And the only way to come out on top is to have a few friends who can get you anything you want It's a profitable business that has it's own risks. Once you enter in this game, you can't get out And if you get caught, you lose everything. Even your own life.
My dad let me take over the family business, so I can help my family. And I can't let them down, they are depending on me. My wife doesn't want to live in a cramped apartment anymore, I promised my son that I'll get him a new pair of legs And my daughter doesn't want us to move into another Universe again. I know what I'm doing is wrong, but do I have choice? It's either this or bust. Besides, it's not like anyone got hurt, right? So, it's totally okay for me to do this. Better than being broke.
Next week, I'll have a new shipment coming. A collection of goods from Universe 0 Some of these belonged to the original Omnipotents This valuable brooch The Maiden's sword A old robe A ceremony mask A six-armed idol The 96th King's crown And a lot more. Come back next week And be sure to tell your friends. See ya.
Huh? What's this? Your friend needs thirty Antaxite jewels? What for? Alright, but I want something in return, Those yellow crystals that can summon those yellow-eyed creatures should suffice But please, don't tell anyone about this. And don't tell anyone else that I helped you.
This job is the only thing I have, And I can't be caught, no matter the cost. My family needs this to survive. And without it, we will be back to square one. And I can't let that happen. Let's keep this between ourselves. It's almost closing time Tomorrow, a new day for business starts. As long as no one finds out As long as no one gets hurt, As long as I'm invisible to the naked eye, I should be safe. What can possibly go wrong?

F: The Killing Game Chapter 2: Despair, Distrust and Disappointment Daily Life
A day has passed since Yoku's murder occurred and the trial that declared Alistair Eldirass, his killer, guilty and got executed, in a way that no one anticipated.
The next question was.
Who will be the next?
The F monitor turned on.
"Morning, dudes. Today is a splendid day. Now, get your butts off your beds, otherwise you'll miss the delicious buffet!"
The monitor turned off.
Sidra, who was laying in his bed, was staring at the ceiling, still thinking about yesterday.
"...Yesterday was quite a shitty day...how will today be any different?" Sidra asked himself.
Sidra got off his bed and walked out of his room.
He turned to Alistair's room which was next to him.
Amenhotep walked out of his room, walking past Sidra, going towards the dining hall.
He sighed before he continued going towards the dining hall.
Kerigo, Kazumi, Yaruda, Manuel and Dickard were there.
Dickard was currently chewing some gum he got from the F shop while blowing a few bubbles here and there .
This visibly annoyed Manuel who was taking his medication.
Yaruda, who was just looking at everyone, trying to gauge what they were thinking.
And Kerigo, who was cutting up some steak-like food he had grabbed from the cafeteria as though nothing was wrong.
Fujiko walked in the cafeteria.
"Is everyone okay?" Fujiko asked.
Kazumi just nodded in acknowledgement.
"It appears everyone is still recovering from the first trial, since they are not here." Manuel said, before swallowing his pills.
"To be honest, I haven't recovered properly from...that." Fujiko said, as she sat down.
Next, Minami, who had her hands in her raincoat pockets, and Kita, who was rubbing her arm, walked in.
they sat down on a table separate from everyone else, for the time being.
Sidra and Amenhotep walked in next.
Fujiko looked at Amenhotep.
"How are you doing, Amenhotep?" Fujiko asked.
"...I'm still alive, atleast. Though, the way I got accused by most of you hurt my feelings." Amenhotep said.
"Sorry." Kita shrugged.
"I apologize." Kazumi simply said.
and then, in came Chuo, who sat down without a word.
Dickard looked at everyone and sighed.
"Guys, get over it already. Alistair was the one who fucked himself with his plan really. Why should we keep moping around about it?" Dickard asked.
"The guy had a family." Sidra said.
"Well, guess what, his family doesn't mean shit to me. I would rather live a long luxurious life than pointlessly die with everyone else because some alien was homesick." Dickard said.
"People like you deserve to pointlessly die because some alien is homesick." Kita said, and Minami turned to her in response.
"Both of you, cut this nonsense out right now! We really don't need this!" Fujiko demanded.
"Alright fine." Dickard shrugged, backing out, not really in the mood for an argument.
"...In a way, Yoku and Alistair died because of how weak I looked in front of everyone...atleast, that's how I feel." Amenhotep said.
Huang entered in the hall.
"Yoku died because he was an idiot. Alistair was smart and took advantage of his idiocy. Those who are truly smart get to live more longer . That's how it works in the real world." Huang said.
"Hey, speaking of dead guys, the first ones who died were bald. Guess this means that your's and Sidra's future doesn’t look too bright now, ha ha." Dickard chuckled.
Huang stared at Dickard as he pulled out a taser, aiming it at his name’s four letter words.
"Would you care to joke some more, Dickweed?" Huang asked.
Dickard's eyes widened as he wisely shook his head off and backed away
"Where did you get that?" Kazumi said, looking at the taser.
"Oh, this? I got this little guy from the warehouse. Not as good as a gun, but good enough to defend myself and when some blondie tries to be a smartass." Huang grinned.
"There should be nothing wrong with having something for self defense, as long as that something can't actually kill anyone. Also, even if one of us does get any notes telling us to leave, you should still stay inside your bedrooms at night, and maybe some time later, someone could help me dispose of the rest of the knives so no one else can use them." Fujiko suggested.
And, at that moment..
"Hey, guys, you know the second floor is still open, right? there's a lot more shit in there than just the trial room.
so, uh, just, check it out when you've got the time, I guess."
The monitor turned off.
"...I guess we have nothing else better to do." Sidra said, looking annoyed.
"But what about Dimitri and Nicole?" Amenhotep asked.
"I'll try to get them." Fujiko said, leaving the dining hall.
"This should be interesting." Manuel said, as he left aswell.
"...Huang was close to electrocute my dick. That should be a good enough reason for a execution, right?" Dickard asked.
"It was grounds for medal of honor in my book." Kita said.
"Hey, stop talking like that." Minami sighed, as she and her sister left.
"I'm not done eating my breakfast. I'll catch up with everyone later." Kergio said.
Sidra simply nodded as he, Huang, Kazumi, Yaruda, Amenhotep, Chuo and a annoyed Dickard went to the next floor.
After a short period of time, Fujiko had managed to get Dimitri and Nicole to enter the second floor as well.
In the second floor.
One of the first rooms noticed was one with a icon of a paint brush on it.
Minami and Kita both opened the room up and noticed it was a art room, with easels, different types of paint, several wooden hammers and scalpels lined up on the walls, and several pots of clay all stacked up on top of each other.
Minami had a big smile on her face, it was like she was looking at Heaven itself.
"...This room opening up is probably the best thing that could possibly happen!" Minami said.
Huang and Amenhotep entered in what appeared to be a gaming room
A lot of video games were there
Amenhotep looked curious as he saw the giant tv screen.
"...What is this thing? What are all of these? Were they made by magic?" Amenhotep asked.
"Welcome to the 21st Century, Sultan...or whatever century this Universe is in." Huang said, looking around.
Dimitri walked into the gaming room as well.
"Dude, you seriously never seen a screen before? Granted, it looks very different than the ones in 9, but it's still clearly a screen." Dimitri said.
"We don't have screen in 6." Amenhotep said.
"Technology doesn't even exist in Egypt to begin with." Huang said.
"Wow. That must be really sad." Dimitri said.
Yaruda walked into what looked like a dance club; with several objects littered around on the stage looking like they could be used for some serious raves. Including a smoke machine, a DJ's Mixing table, a disco ball and some neon lights, finally a box full of glowsticks.
There were also several chairs at the far end of the room.
"...This room looks really out of place." Yaruda said.
Manuel and Kazumi were in a library.
Manuel saw some books from 10, he din't look surprised.
Kazumi noticed a book writtem by someone from 2 before deciding to ignore it
Fujiko and Chuo had both walked into the library- then entered a side room which had about 3-5 computers in it.
Fujiko tried to turn one of them on, but it wouldn't activate.
Fujiko looked around and saw that the computers weren't even plugged.
"...None of these computers are even plugged in." Fujiko said.
"I doubt they would work even if they were plugged. F wouldn't make it easy." Kazumi said.
"Maybe we could try to get one of the techy-savvy people to look at them." Fujiko sighed.
"After Alistair, Yaruda is the next one to know about computers." Manuel commented.
It cuts to a workout area, men’s room
Sidra and Dickard were in it.
Dickard looked impressed.
"Well, well, while I am a mass of muscles, a few workout sessions wouldn't hurt." Dickard said.
Sidra looked at all the equipment.
"...One of us could use these things to kill someone." Sidra said.
Kerigo walked into the men's workout room, apparently having finished his food.
"...I doubt this room will get much use." Kerigo said.
"Anyone could use the equipment to kill someone." Sidra said.
"I doubt that. Besides you, none of the people here have that much physical strength to lift these." Dickard said.
"Never underestimate ingenuity, my friend. Anyone who is clever enough can be able to pull it off." Kerigo said.
"Oh, yeah, I can definitely imagine Dimitri picking up a dumbbell and using it to smash Kazumi's head in...huh, it's kinda funny when you imagine it in your head." Dickard said.
"...Hm, I suppose." Kerigo said.
And Nicole was.. inside the women's workout area, apart from the walls being pink- it was basically identical to the men's.
There was a motivational poster of Lujien on the wall
Nicole lifted a dumbell, looking at it before dropping it.
"I can't think of any reason to bulk up. Not like I would be able to smash the walls open with my fists." Nicole shrugged, as she walked out of the workout room.
After checking out the rooms, everyone meet up in the hallway.
"Well, now that's done, I'm going back to my room." Dimitri said, going downstairs, followed up by Fujiko.
"Okay, so, the art room is great! Now I have something to do to pass the time in here!" Minami said.
"We found a library. Full of books and computers that will only work if we can plug them in with something." Kazumi said.
"I found a weird dance club room." Yaruda shrugged.
"...Hm. A dance club room." Dickard said, looking interested.
"The workout room is the only place with potential murder weapons." Sidra said.
"There is a room filled with video games. That's about it. It's pretty pointless." Huang said.
"This floor was mainly filled with rooms with recreational uses. Should make the time spent here a little easier to pass." Kerigo said.
"I guess so. But any murderer could take advantage of this while everyone has their guard let down." Sidra said.
"That might happen only after the next motive is revealed." Manuel said.
"We should still enjoy what time we have left, right?" Minami asked.
"...So, about those computers in the library. Yaruda, could you be able to have a look at them later?" Chuo asked.
"I might be able to. Maybe tomorrow." Yaruda shrugged.
Kazumi nodded before he and everyone else walked out of the floor
In the next day
Everyone was doing their own thing in the second floor while some were still on the first floor
Huang was on the second floor, walking around, hoping to find any secret exits or something
Manuel was in the library, reading a book from Universe 5
Chuo was reading in the library.
Kazumi was standing outside the library
Dickard was in the dance room, drinking beer while holding a glowstick.
"Hahahaha, I'm in Heaven, baby!" Dickard laughed.
Amenhotep was on the first floor...covering Yoku and Alistair’s doors with water for some reason while holding a scroll
Sidra was in the F shop. He tried his luck and he received a harpoon...which turned out to be a toy model
He sighed as he took it before he looked at the Antaxite with Alistair’s blood on it. Sidra then walked out of the shop
Minami was painting in the art room, and Kita was standing nearby.
Yaruda was in the computer room, just staring at the computers.
Nicole was wandering around on the first floor, turning a corner and avoiding anyone who would cross her path.
Kerigo was standing outside the warehouse.. and Fujiko walked out of it, holding a box.
"What's inside the box?" Kerigo asked.
"Dimitri asked me to get some supplies for him so he could create some devices." Fujiko said.
"What kind of devices? You better not be helping someone work on a murder." Kerigo said.
"I'm trying to help him make some devices that could power the computers on the second floor. The boy din't want to leave his room, so I went and grabbed everything he'd need from the warehouse. It was just cruel that a child was stuck in this twisted game." Fujiko said, as she walked towards the dorms.
Still holding Dimitri's requested items, she raised a nonexistant eyebrow at Amenhotep.
"...What are you doing?" Fujiko asked.
Amenhotep turned to Fujiko.
"I'm doing a ritual to send their spirits to the otherworld so they won’t be stuck here anymore and rest. This happens a lot in 6 when someone passes away, so they won’t turn into evil spirits. It's the least I can do for them." Amenhotep said.
"I wish you good luck with the ritual, then." Fujiko said, as she knocked on Dimitri's door.
there was the sound of the door unlocking as Dimitri opened it.
Fujiko handed the box to him.
"Thank you. You are very nice." Dimitri said.
"Do you need anything else?" Fujiko asked.
"That should be it for now. I'll tell you if I need more." Dimitri said.
with that, he closed the door and there was the sound of it locking again.
Fujiko then turned back to Amenhotep.
"...I apologise for what happened back in the first trial. For a while, I truly thought that you did it." Fujiko said.
Amenhotep sighed.
"Everyone else thought the same. If Chuo din’t point out the blood on the knife, I would of been found guilty and all of us would of probably died." Amenhotep said.
"That's true. Alistair had almost got away with that murder. It was concerning." Fujiko said.
"I can't really blame Alistair for what he did, but he could of tried to wait till we found a solution to get out of this prison." Amenhotep said.
"Considering the condition his family was in, I couldn't really blame him for not waiting. I'm sure most people would do similar things for their families." Fujiko said.
"...That's true. I hope to see Cleopatra and Lane again one day. She won’t be happy about the vase that’s for sure." Amenhotep said. "I can only imagine what Jurou and Akemi are doing without me. I know I don't have exactly have the best relationship with my daughter, but they still must've been going through some things without me." Fujiko said.
"I hope we'll be able to get out of here and see our families again." Amehotep said, as he finished putting leaves on the doors
He opened the scroll, said the spell in a unknown language and he stopped.
"Hopefully, their spirits can now rest." Amenhotep said.
"I wish you and the recently deceased well." Fujiko smiled as she left the hallway.
Huang was walking around on floor two before he walked to Kita.
"Have you found anything important in here?" Huang asked.
"I hadn't." Kita said.
"...It's like I'm the only one trying to find some way of escaping this hellhole. The others are wasting time doing pointless shit .
"WOOHOO!" Dickard yelled out from the dance room.
“And then there is that assclown from 7 who is still alive!” Huang said.
"I seriously have no idea why Alistair din't try to kill him. Yoku was grumpy, but he wasn't anywhere near as bad as Dicko is." Kita said
"I would gladly kill him if it wasn’t for F and their dumbass rules." Huang said.
"I just hope Dickard will leave that room soon. He's been blaring the same song for the past 20 minutes." Kita shrugged.
Huang then looked at Minami in the art room.
"How can she be so calm during all of this?" Huang asked.
"Minami is trying to think of a way to stop all of this, probably." Kita said.
"...She is clearly painting." Huang said.
"There is more to it than that." Kita said.
"What is she gonna do? Summon the great Messiah and smack F in the face with a cross?" Huang asked.
"...Where did that come from?" Kita asked.
"I'm just frustrated about all of this shit." Huang said.
"Can't really help you with that." Kita said, sticking her finger into her ear.
Huang just rolled his eyes before he walked off
It cuts to Manuel and Chuo in the library who were reading.
Chuo was reading a book about Neonytes.
"...This book just describes dry orange blood as 'the power over nothing' and doesn't mention any of the vacuum resignation stuff." Chuo mumbled.
"The file that I had on them was very old so the info must of changed." Manuel said.
"That's good. I really don't know what 'vacuum myth resignation' even means." Chuo said.
Manuel nodded.
"So, how are you feeling?" Manuel asked.
"I'm alright." Chuo said, insincerely.
Manuel turned to him.
"Your face says otherwise." Manuel said.
"W..Well, as okay as I-I can be in this place I guess.."Chuo mumbled.
"I suppose anyone would be terrified being in a place like this." Manuel said.
"...Are you scared?" Chuo asked.
"I'm not. Then again, I'm not afraid about most things." Manuel said.
"That's...pretty odd." Chuo said.
"It happens." Manuel shrugged.
Chuo shrugged back before he turned to Kazumi who was standing outside the library.
"...What do you think his deal is? He...seems kinda strict." Chuo said.
"He is likely a loner who doesn't get attached very easily to other people." Manuel said.
"I can hear you two." Kazumi said, not turning to them.
Chuo sighed.
"...It's getting close to dinner time, isn't it? The Motive was probably coming soon." Chuo said.
... Oddly enough, despite what was expected, F's monitor didn't turn on to announce a motive.
"Hmph, F is being silent." Manuel said.
"They are probably still figuring out what the motive should be." Kazumi said.
Chuo then stood up.
"We should probably go to dinner. Make sure everyone is still alive." Chuo said.
Manuel closed his book and put it back to where it was as he, Kazumi and Chuo made it back to the first floor and entered the dinning hall.
Fujiko, Kerigo, Minami, Kita, and Nicole were there.
Nicole was sitting far away from everyone else, and the Sisters still were having their own table.
"Dimitri and Yaruda aren't here..."Chuo noticed.
"I'm right behind you guys, geez.."Yaruda sighed, walking in after Kazumi and Chuo.
"And Dimitri still didn't want to leave his room."Fujiko said.
Amenhotep, Huang and Sidra walked in...who was carrying a slightly drunk Dickard who was holding a bottle.
"...You smell like a alcohol factory." Kita said, looking at Dickard.
"G-Guys, I fucking love this plaaace! Screw Universe 7 and screw Kacaj, this place rocks!" Dickard said.
Sidra just dropped Dickard on the floor.
"..Seriously?"Yaruda asked.
"Yeah. Seriously." Huang said, looking annoyed.
"Is F gonna reveal the next motive or not?" Sidra asked.
The Monitor turned on.
"Why are you guys so impatient? do you really want to kill each other that badly? If you do then just get to it."
"You know that we don't want that!"Fujiko exclaimed.
"Yeah,sure, whatever sweetheart.
Eitherway, if you really want a motive then just wait a bit alright, the motive's coming tomorrow."
"Hey, F, just give me a bride and I'll stay in this place for sure!" Dickard said, still drunk.
"Why, is Nicole not gonna enough for ya?"
"Fuck. Off." Nicole said, glaring daggers at the monitor.
"So, what's it's gonna be this time? A dead corpse of one of our family members?" Huang asked.
"I said tomorrow!" F exclaimed, as the monitor turned off.
"I wonder what the motive will be." Kerigo said.
"I don't want to hear it. I wish F would just leave us alone." Nicole said.
"The only way that can happen is if someone sensible would shot F in the face." Huang said.
"I hope one of us won't fall for the same trick twice." Amenhotep sighed.
and with that thought in mind, everyone (except Dimitri) ate dinner.
"I'm going to bed. I'll see you all tomorrow." Kerigo said, leaving the cafeteria.
Then Fujiko left shortly after, returning a couple of minutes later to grab some food from the cafeteria for Dimitri to eat whenever he wanted to.
Then Nicole, Minami and Kita left around the same time, with Minami returning to the art room to get some extra painting in while Nicole was just going to bed.
Eventually, everyone had left to go to sleep with the knowledge that the next day, F would unveil the next motive in the back, or the forefront, of their minds.
The Next Day, at breakfast.
The people gathered at breakfast.
Sidra, Kazumi and Manuel were sitting at the table while Huang and Amenhotep were standing up.
Dickard was there, but had a pack of ice on his head, feeling a bit of headache after getting drunk.
Minami and Fujiko were talking about something off to the side, while Nicole picked at her food- sniffing it to make sure there wasn't any poison.
Chuo, Kerigo and Yaruda were sitting at the table as well.
"Alright so, the computers in the library are completely useless without anything to plug them into." Yaruda said.
"Can't you use something from that video game room to plug them?" Sidra asked.
"Those wires and adapters don't fit in the plugholes in the computer room. I can't use those." Yaruda said.
"Well, that's just great." Huang sighed.
for a moment, silence.
and then...
"Hey, Everyone!"
The Monitor turned on.
"Thank you all so much for waiting! Now, if you'd please enter the gymnasium and collect your motives!"
"A..Already?"Chuo asked.
"Well you were so impatient last night that I just felt it'd be a waste to wait, you clearly wanted them- so they've arrived a couple of hours ahead of schedule!"
"I'm not looking forward to this." Sidra said.
"Hey, can you speak a bit more quieter? My head hurts?" Dickard said.
"GOTCHA MAN! I'LL SPEAK A BIT QUIETER!"
with that, the monitor turned off.
"I'm gonna get Kita." Minami said, standing up.
"Why isn't Kita here?" Yaruda asked.
Minami left before she could answer his question.
Kerigo followed Minami out,
..
when most of the participants got the gymnasium, Dimitri was already there, looking annoyed.
"The food you grabbed for me tasted horrible." Dimitri told Fujiko.
"Is that seriously important? Now where's the motive?" Yaruda asked.
right on que, a.. roulette wheel appeared in the gymnasium- with all 16 participants's names scrawled onto it's 16 notches.
The Monitor turned on, right as Kerigo, Minami and Kita walked in.
"Alright everyone, it's the second motive!
The Wheel of Fate!
Everyone is recquired to spin the wheel of fate once! and they will receive a interesting factoid about whoever the wheel of fate lands on!
Please spin the wheel in alphabetical order!"
The Monitor turned off, revealing a list of the participants in alphabetical order.
Amenhotep Chuo Omesata Dickard Kent Dimitri Tarksten Fujiko Kimura Huang Guzman Kazumi Hanzo Kerigo K'thrysdean Kita Manuel Kraven Minami Nicole Song Sidra Harpo Yaruda Moekami
"..This is dumb."Dimitri said.
"Yoku and Alistair are on the wheel aswell. What would them being there accomplish?" Kerigo asked.
"Why would F want us to do it in a alphabetical order? It seems a bit pointless." Minami said.
Amenhotep looked nervous as he walked up to the wheel, looking at it as if it was gonna bite him.
He span the wheel.
The Wheel landed on..
Kazumi Hanzo.
Then, a Envelope was ejected from a mechanism under the wheel; landing in Amenhotep's hands.
The List on the monitor updated.
Amenhotep has information about Kazumi Hanzo Chuo Omesata Dickard Kent Dimitri Tarksten Fujiko Kimura Huang Guzman Kazumi Hanzo Kerigo K'thrysdean Kita Manuel Kraven Minami Nicole Song Sidra Harpo Yaruda Moekami
Kazumi opened his eye, looking slightly peeved as Amenhotep walked back in the crowd, who looked confused.
Chuo span the wheel next.
Manuel Kraven.
And Chuo looked over to Manuel, before hesitantly picking up the envelope and walking off to the side.
Amenhotep has information about Kazumi Hanzo Chuo Omesata has information about Manuel Kraven Dickard Kent Dimitri Tarksten Fujiko Kimura Huang Guzman Kazumi Hanzo Kerigo K'thrysdean Kita Manuel Kraven Minami Nicole Song Sidra Harpo Yaruda Moekami

F's voice could still be heard, but the list remained on screen.
"Well, now that you've got these interesting facts about each other, do whatever you want with them!
Maybe when you read one you'll find a fact so horrible you'll just have to kill them, or maybe, in order to kill your secret a secret you'll need to kill the person who has it.
Who knows? If you're lucky- the fact your holding isn't even a secret, maybe it's something everybody knows, or a nice little tidbit that would help you if you ever decided to kill them. who knows?
It's not my business anymore, do as you will!"
And then, the monitor turned off.
"...Ha, none of you have shit on me." Huang smiled.
"Well, it's not like there was anything important to know about you in the first place." Dickard said.
Huang then got out the taser again, just to remind Dickard to shut up.
"...Kerigo Too-Many-Surnames!?"Kerigo asked, uncharacterisally outraged by this small joke. "I'll have you know, F! That The Amount of Surnames a Kschlvokyan has is equal to how notorious their family is- and their rank in Society! If 2 surnames is too many for you I'd hate to see how you memorize the name of Kschlovkyan Royalty!?"
"..There's Kshlvo..Kissla.. Orange guy Royalty?"Dimitri asked.
"..Not anymore, no."Kerigo said.
Sidra just looked at his envelope before he looked at everyone else.
"...Whatever information you all might have. Just please. Just, please, don't, resort, to, murder." Amenhotep said.
Fujiko just looked at everyone.
And then tore the envelope she was holding to pieces.
"Don't worry."Fujiko said. "Noone here is going to kill anyone else."
"How do you know that?" Dimitri asked.
"I've been brainstorming ways to stop the killing game, beyond just disposing of all of the knives." Fujiko said.
"I won't be expecting much." Huang said.
"Maybe or maybe not. Just have a little faith." Fujiko said.
"Faith din't save us from ending up here in the first place. Why should it work now?" Huang asked.
"Then don't have faith then. Think logically." Minami said.
Fujiko sighed.
"We all stay together, with the exception of when we are sleeping." Fujiko said.
"There is a flaw with that plan. It relies on everyone going to sleep and waking up at the same time." Kerigo said.
"We'll just assign three people for guard duty." Fujiko said.
"I'm up for the role." Sidra said.
"Guard duty is a drag so count me out." Dickard said.
"I don't have any information on anyone so, I could be a guard aswell." Kita said.
"This plan is destined to fail." Kerigo said, walking out of the room.
"Yeah, this won't work." Huang said, dropping out aswell, following Kerigo.
"I'll be the third guard." Kazumi declared.
"This is good then. Everyone stays together for the day and when we go to sleep, Sidra, Kita and Kazumi keep watch." Fujiko said.
"What about when those three need to sleep?" Dimitri asked.
"The next day, there will be three different people on guard duty." Fujiko said.
"I hope this will work." Amenhotep sighed.
"Eh, how hard can it be?" Sidra shrugged.
"..So, if we're all going to be together today, what should we do?"Minami asked.
"Let's go to the dance club to have some fun." Dickard suggested immediately.
"...I'd rather have us stay in the dining hall, personally." Amenhotep said.
"The dance club sounds way more entertaining." Minami said.
"I'd rather not. All of the light and party equipment there looked like a safety hazard." Dimitri said.
"Suit yourself then. You can just stay in your room as always." Dickard said.
"...I guess I could." Dimitri frowned.
"...Should we go now?" Chuo asked.
"It should be fine if we do." Fujiko said.
And to the dance club they went.
Everyone except Kerigo, Huang and Dimitri.
Dimitri went straight into his room.
Meanwhile, Kerigo opted to try talking to Huang, who were currently in the hallway.
"There's no way this plan of theirs is going to work."Kerigo said, sounding slightly anxious.
"I figured out that much. I'd rather focus more on finding an exit to this damn place." Huang said.
"I'll go with you then. Perhaps we'll be able to find any promising leads." Kerigo said.
..
Meanwhile, Minami and Chuo were looking through all of the party supplies
"..Um, Guys. I can't find the smoke machine."Minami said.
"What does that matter?"Nicole asked. "That's like, the least deadly thing in this room."
"You can't kill someone with a glow stick."Yaruda frowned.
"You can if you burst it open. Mercury Poisoning!"Nicole responded.
"Dickard, could you change the song to something more comfortable and less loud, like a opera or something." Manuel said, holding a cup of tea.
"Nah, nuts to that." Dickard said.
Amenhotep was just looking around the place, starting to get more and more weirded out by this world's differences.
Yaruda was looking through all of the wires in the dance room; trying to find something here that he could plug the computers in the library into. So far he wasn't successful.
He turned to Sidra; who was nearby.
"Hey, can you give me a hand to sort through this stuff?" Yaruda asked.
Sidra nodded as he went over to Yaruda and began checking the wires.
"Which one do you need?" Sidra asked.
"I need a computer cable. Or at the very least an adapter, or a plug that wasn't even attached to a wire. Do people in 12 actually have any of those?" Yaruda asked.
"Even if we did, I'm not the type to stay on the computer." Sidra said, fiddling with the wires, trying to find it.
As he was pulling wires, he sees something from the very back.
"I see something that looks like a plug. Atleast I think so." Sidra said.
Yaruda then reached for it; struggling due to his girth, before pulling it out.
"This could work." Yaruda said.
He paused for a moment as he pulled out his envelope.
"What do you think is in this thing?"He asked.
Sidra looked at Yaruda's envelope which featured info on Sidra.
"I'm not sure. Might aswell find out. I have nothing to hide anyways." Sidra said.
Yaruda opened his envelope, mainly out of curiosity.
Sidra Harpo Age:29 Birthday:16th November Likes:His aquatic city, being accepted, loyalty, Milana, Omnipotents Dislikes:Traitors, liars, Kheogs, Neonytes. Favorite Food:Peas Hobby:Gardening Note:Sidra din't come from the surface world, he was born in a underwater city similar to Atlantis but not as big. He was the bodyguard of the guardian in charge of the city, Liam, who taught him how to fight. After the Kheog war was over and seeing the potential in Sidra, Liam sent Sidra to the surface world to master the thirst element to replace Onya and he moved in the village, where he was introduced to Milana who decided to train him to become Onya's successor and joined the military to help come with ideas about new weapons to defend themselves
Yaruda looked at Sidra.
"Your hobby is gardening?" Yaruda asked, a bit confused.
"Yeah. Gardening helps me relax." Sidra said.
"That's fair enough. Are you gonna open your envelope?" Yaruda asked.
Sidra opened the envelope on Fujiko and read it.
Fujiko Kimura Age:40 Birthday:3rd July Likes:Akemi Kimura, Akemi's Food, Jewelry, Her sister and Niece Dislikes:Her Husband,The Council, Her Job, People who hurt kids, Hobby:Strolling Note:Fujiko's family life is in shambles, her own husband only married her for the political power and her own daughter hates her guts because of the crimes against Omnipotents and Aliens that Fujiko has let come to pass, but her own daughter doesn't know that Fujiko herself hates these crimes, and set up a secret organization that exists solely to save those who are being terrorized by Universe 1's Council. If not for the secret organization, then The Guardian of the Aliens, and so many people and creatures would've had way worse fates than they were given.
"...Looks like Fujiko is carrying a lot of weight on her shoulder." Sidra frowned.
Yaruda read the contents of the envelope aswell.
"...Hm, poor lady." Yaruda said.
Meanwhile, Huang and Kerigo were in the library as Huang was pulling some books, hoping that by pulling one of them, some secret entrance or exit would be revealed like in the movies.
Huang tossed some books on the ground while he was going through them, such as books from Universes 2, 5, 9, 11, 12, demon world, Omnipotents, guardians aswell as a book that's called '10 easy steps on how to take over the world'.
Kerigo looked at them all.
"Try a book in the 'F' section." Kerigo suggested.
Huang did that...and nothing happened.
"Shit. F is smart enough not to go through with the 'secret exit behind the bookshelf' cliché." Huang said.
"F likely was. We should continue looking." Kerigo said.
..
"Alright, let's have some fun!" Minami smiled, waving at everyone, handing out some neon glowsticks,
the party had started.
It was pretty loud, but ultimately- it was fun, for most people.
Manuel was still displeased by the taste in music everyone had.
Kita herself forcibly turned the music down at one point when Dickard turned it up to loud, only for Nicole to start blasting a different track altogether.
Fujiko, Minami and Sidra left at one point to go grab a bunch of party snacks and drinks- while everyone else continued partying.
Occasionally someone would leave go to the bathroom, and after a while people who just wanted to pee in piece would manage to avoid Fujiko or Kazumi tagging along to prevent any funny business- but they would always come back before too long.
By the end of it, everyone was all partied out, and agreed to go to bed.
...
but this time, before they even entered the sleeping quarters- they noticed that something was wrong.
in the hallway that lead to the sleeping quarters, there was a thin layer of smoke creeping out of the closed doorway.
"..This is .. weird."Fujiko said, opening the door.
She then gasped, the fog was coming out of one of the bedrooms, As evident by the icon on the door, Dimitri's room was wide open.
and Dimitri Tarksten had collapsed in the doorway.
"Dimitri!!"Fujiko yelled, running towards him.
Sidra's eyes widened as he ran to Dimitri and began checking on him, to see if he was okay
There was no pulse. his eyes were closed, and he didn't seem to have any visible wounds on him. But, there was still no pulse.
The Monitor's flicked on, all over the building..
In every single room.
"...Holy crap...
One of you fuckers killed a 10 year old kid! that's fucked up!
Okay, Kerigo, Huang, if you're gonna stop banging at that window in the workout room, come on down to the sleeping quarters and look at this dead body everyone just found!
Well, I trust you all know what to do!"
The monitor turned off.
Everyone else just stood there, in shock, looking at Dimitri.
"...I...can't believe....what is this..." Amenhotep said, in shock.
"...You gotta be kidding me!" Sidra said, looking pissed.

F: The Killing Game Chapter 2: Despair, Distrust and Disappointment Killing Life
Shock could not even describe what everyone else was feeling.
Dimitri, the young prodigy from Universe 9 was found dead.
And the worst part of it all, he was just a boy.
Who would kill a young child? And why?
Those were the questions racing in their minds right now as everyone was now staring at Dimitri's corpse.
Huang and Kerigo arrived and Huang looked shocked as he saw Dimitri's body.
"...What...What the fuck!?" Huang asked.
"..A Kid."Kerigo said, putting his hand to his mouth.
Fujiko covered her face with her hands as she began crying.
Amenhotep puts his hands on his head.
"...Why...why Gods...why would you allow this to happen to a child!?" Amenhotep asked.
Kita turned to Huang and Kerigo, looking furious.
"What were you two doing?" Kita asked.
"Hey, don't get the wrong idea! Me and Kerigo were in the library trying to find an exit to this hellhole. We had nothing to do with this!" Huang said.
"There's no way I can believe that. You two were the only ones who din't go to the dance room. You could just be covering for each other so you can have a alibi!" Kita said, her eyes sending chills down Huang's and Kerigo's spine as both of her hands curled into fists.
"K-Kita, calm down." Minami said, despite being visibly shaken herself.
Kita didn't listen, grabbing onto Huang's shirt collar as she lifted him up..
and then she dropped him, as she started coughing.
"Kita! I told you to calm down!" Minami said, as she grabbed hold of her, and began to walk her over to her room, which the two entered.
Nicole was holding her own head.
"...AAAAAAAAAAH! I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!" Nicole yelled, running out of the dorms.
"Nicole!" Sidra yelled, going after Nicole.
"...She...was gonna kill me." Huang said, looking shook up as he slowly got up.
"What the hell was that shit?" Dickard asked.
As Fujiko and Amenhotep were grieving over Dimitri's death, Kazumi was looking at Dimitri's corpse.
"...Who did Dimitri have info on?" Kazumi asked.
"...H-He had info...on...Kita." Chuo said, looking pale.
"I don't want to be rude, but you had a file on Dimitri, correct? You too could be a potential suspect." Kerigo told Kazumi.
"All I found out is that his mother left because of his father and he was a well know prodigy in his town. Nothing major that would make me resort to murder." Kazumi said, still looking at Dimitri.
By Looking over Dimitri's corpse, he was able to tell that he had no physical injuries.
and, he wasn't wearing any shoes, or the blanket cape he usually wore.
"Can I see the file? Just to be sure." Kerigo said.
Kazumi handed the file over to Kerigo
Manuel was also looking at Dimitri as he lowered his eyebrows and had his fingers on his moustache.
"Minami mentioned that some 'smoking machine' was missing from the party, no?" Manuel asked.
"When I first went to the dance room, I saw a smoke dispensing machine, the kind that makes party smoke." Yaruda said.
Meanwhile, Kerigo looked at the File
Dimitri Tarksten Age:Ten Birthday:30th July(by the Gregorian calendar) Likes:Video Games, Robots, Creating Machines Dislikes:Smoke, Sauce on his food, People not listening to him Hobby:Gaming, or Creating Devices Notes:Dimitri's father was the head of the brigade, and was physically abusive towards his wife; she left but was unable to get custody of their child due to his father's position. Dimitri- in a attempt to get his father's approval began working as hard as he could to create new weapons and machines for the brigade to use. Using Crystals to power his machines.
"This file has 'smoke' in his dislikes. You told me during the first investigation, Dimitri went into a coughing fit because of the smoke that came from the trash room, correct?" Kerigo asked, looking at Yaruda.
"Yes, that's true." Yaruda said.
"...It was the machine. Dimitri inhaled too much smoke that he couldn't handle it and his heart stopped." Kazumi said.
"Which means whoever was at the party took the machine, placed it somewhere and activated it right where Dimitri was. Which would make the machine the murder weapon." Huang said.
"The machine was gone before the party started. Whoever took it must've been pretty sneaky to get it out, since Minami went straight for it." Chuo said.
"Did you see Minami going for the machine?" Kerigo asked Chuo.
"I did. I helped her pull out the supplies." Chuo said.
"The smoke from a smoke machine should've been less deadly than fire smoke. So the idea that he couldn't get out of there before dying is hard to believe." Kerigo said.
"It depends on what the smoke is made from, and also that people from universe 9 likely have different biological strengths and weaknesses than others." Yaruda said.
He then looked at Dimitri's door.
"...The key is still in the keyhole." Yaruda said, noticing it.
"Maybe the kid tried to unlock the door to get out of the room because of the smoke?" Dickard asked.
"Or the killer got their hands on the key." Amenhotep guessed.
"I don't think that's the case, the key's on the inside of the door- like the, 'would be in the room if it was closed' side of the door." Yaruda said.
"I'll search Dimitri's room in and out for any clues. As for the rest, you should split up to search the entire floor, to find the smoke machine, any other clues that will give us the clear picture. Sidra and Nicole included." Kazumi said.
"Those two left the moment Nicole high-tailed it out of here." Dickard said.
"I want to look in Dimitri's room aswell." Fujiko said, as she stopped crying.
"I'll check the warehouse, it's big enough to store a large quantity of things, after all." Kerigo said.
"I'm gonna try out the library. I was there before all of this happened after all." Huang said.
"I'll check out the dance club. Because I like that place." Dickard said.
"Then I'll check the art room." Manuel said.
"I guess...I'll check the bizarre video game room again." Amenhotep said.
"I...have no idea where I would look. I'll try the gymnasium, that's where I saw Dimitri last, after all." Yaruda said.
"I'll try the trash room. Maybe someone disposed of something there." Chuo said.
Kazumi nodded.
"If you find Sidra and Nicole, tell them to search in the workout areas." Kazumi said as he and Fujiko began investigating Dimitri's room.
Dimitri's room was...
rather big actually, there was a toolbox on the floor, his cape was strewn across the chair in front of a desk; which had numerous devices on it. his Shoes lying next to his unmade bed.
There was a small plate of food with only a small bite taken out of it, with a empty cup next to it.
There was also a box- with a few other parts in it.
A Dented small, device in the corner of the room was still emitting smoke.
Fujiko looked at everything in the room wistfully.
Kazumi looked at the box and saw what it was inside it.
it was a bunch of parts.
They didn't look like anything in particular- a bunch of crystals, gears, and metal pieces.
"The day the second floor opened up, Dimitri asked me to bring him a bunch of stuff so he could make tools that he could use to help end the killing game, I brought it all over the next day. Kerigo and Amenhotep both saw me doing this." Fujiko said.
"I see." Kazumi said as he began to check the small device next.
The small device in the corner of the room looked to be only a part of a device; it had some liquid in a dented- but not pierced container attached to it- and a fan-like-hole that was ejecting steam.
There didn't seem to be any buttons on it.
Kazumi picked up the device.
"This could possibly be a part of the smoking machine. The murderer must of ripped this particular part of the machine without having to use the entire thing." Kazumi said.
"That's probably the case...It looks dented. Maybe Dimitri tried to break it?" Fujiko guessed.
"Perhaps. But the question is...where is the rest of the machine?" Kazumi asked.
Meanwhile, Amenhotep was in the gaming room, looking around, trying to find any clues or anything odd that links to the murder.
There was nothing unusual in the gaming room.
Chuo, looking in the incinerator- also found nothing.
Manuel was in the art room, looking around the entire place, inspecting every object from small to big with his eyes, trying to find a connection to the murder or any other clues.
there was a painting in the room, of a waterfall and a lake surrounded by plants. as well as a single, featureless clay model- that looked as though it was half-finished.
One of the scalpels still had clay on it.
However, nothing that seemed like it had anything to do with the murder.
Manuel looked at the unfinished clay model.
"...Hm, what is Minami doing in here?" Manuel wondered.
Then it cuts to Dickard, who was in his favorite area, trying to find clues or altleast tracks left when the machine was taken.
Everything was just as it was back when the party had started.
It didn't seem like the smoke machine was there during the party at all.
Chuo left the trash room and went over to the warehouse- which wasn't too far away.
He opened the door, and saw Kerigo in the back of the room.
"What's going on?" Chuo asked, walking up to the judge.
"There is a pile of trash that wasn't here before. It looked way too clean to have been here this entire time." Kerigo said.
"What do you think it is?" Chuo asked.
"It might have been part of something the killer wanted to get rid of." Kerigo said.
Chuo inspected the pile of trash, and slowly began re-arranging the pile to look at each piece, and he found.. a small black thread fall out of it.
Kerigo noticed it.
"That must be a part of the killer shirt's. It's frayed, for some reason." Kerigo said.
It then cuts to Huang, who was in the library, trying to find clues. nothing was any different from how it was the last time Huang was there.
Then it cuts to where Sidra and Nicole were
Nicole was in a corner in the second floor hallway, gripping onto her ears as she kept breathing almost uncontrollably.
Sidra catched up to her, out of breath.
"You...you shouldn't of ran off just like that." Sidra said.
Nicole didn't respond to him, still breathing in and out.
"H-hey, calm down, alright? Try to think of something positive, imagine being in a better place or something." Sidra said.
"There's no point imagining a better place, because I'm definitely not here right now." Nicole said.
"Then think about someone you like or adore." Sidra said.
"...There is my uncle." Nicole said.
"That's reasonable. People can be attached to their uncles." Sidra said.
Nicole, calming down slightly, just sighed.
"...Whoever did this was way worse than Alistair, to just kill a kid like that.." Nicole said.
..
Meanwhile in Dimitri' Room.
Fujiko- looking under Dimtri's bed, pulled out two separate envelopes.
"I found both of Dimitri's motives. The contents of Kita's bio probably wasn't that important, as Dimitri never opened it. But...the first motive, the letter from a loved one..." Fujiko said, showing the letter to Kazumi.
"Hey, Son.
It's me, your dad. I don't know where you are right now but I know you're in danger. But I believe in you, I know that you can get out of there. I can't help you where you are, but I know you. you should be able to get out of here- whatever it takes,
I've copied out some blueprints in here- ones that you made. use them if you want to.
From, Your Father"
There were several blueprint like drawings- looking to be designs completely out of this world- presumably only making sense to someone from universe 9; judging by the instructions nearby, there were several kinds of designs here- ones that were lethal; ones that set up force fields, several kinds.
Interestingly, none of the designs in the letter matched the devices Dimitri was halfway through creating in his room.
After reading that, Kazumi picked up the envelope with Kita’s info and read it.
Kita Age:?? Birthday:?? Likes:Minami, History, Swords, Knights Dislikes:Murderers, Monarchy, Being Flirted with Hobby:None Notes:From Universe 0, due to conditions involving her birth she and Minami stopped aging when they turned 20, after the siblings stopped the war of the 100 kings with a ritual they faded into obscurity- living in the City of Majesty until Universe 0 was felled by Orpheus's hands, the two escaped to Universe 2 and have been living there ever since. Kita- due to a injury she sustained during the fall of Universe 0, needs frequent injections or else she falls into a comatic state.
Fujiko was looking through Dimitri's desk and had found the blueprints for what he was creating.
"Seems like he was making some kind of EMP for EMP'S, that blocks frequenecies that block frequencies, as well as some kind of portal opening thing." Fujiko said.
"The siblings are from Universe 0. Kita needs drugs to survive." Kazumi said.
"We should probably check on Minami and Kita. They went into Kita's room, din't they? And I don't think there's anything else in here." Fujiko said.
Kazumi nodded as they walked out of Dimitri's room.
They walked into Kita's room.
It looked like a normal bedroom, there were several old shields and swords strewn around as well as 12 separate banners hanging on the walls,
most notable, was the first aid kit lying next to the bed.
Minami turned around, looking at them.
"...What are you two doing here?" Minami asked.
"We figured that we should check up on you two." Fujiko said.
"I suppose...that's alright." Minami shrugged.
Kazumi looked at the first aid kit.
"...Are any of you two injuried?" Kazumi asked.
"No, we aren't." Minami said.
"Is that true?" Fujiko asked.
Minami sighed, looking annoyed.
"Look, fine, you saw Kita coughing earlier. That's what the kit is for." Minami explained.
"Understandable. But how come you never mentioned that you two were raised in my Universe?" Kazumi asked.
"I told Sidra about it." Minami said.
"More importantly, why din't you two mention that you're from Universe 0?" Fujiko asked.
and then, Minami's face darkened.
"...Why do you know that?" Minami asked.
"It was in Dimitri's 'Wheel of Fate' envelope." Fujiko said.
"...Of course it was. But this doesn't mean you two can just suspect me. The person who killed Dimitri knew beforehand about his reaction to smoke. Neither me or Kita knew about that until he had already died." Minami said.
"...That's true. I din't know anything about that till Kerigo mentioned it." Kita said, who was quiet till now.
"Ding dong ding dong!
Hey, guys, you done yet?
Please head to the trial grounds so you can catch this fucker."
Kazumi looked at the sisters.
"We'll decide wether you two are telling the truth or not at the trial." Kazumi said, as he left, followed up by Fujiko.
Minami and Kita looked at each other before they got out aswell.
Everyone met up in the elevator room again.
Nicole still looked depressed.
"...Someone here seriously killed a kid. No matter what motive they could possibly have, I would never forgive them for doing this." Nicole said.
"That is the same on my end." Fujiko said, looking angry
"Same for me." Sidra said.
"Then let's get in the elevator and start this shit already." Dickard said.
Everyone went inside the elevator and it began descending down.
All of them were quiet as the elevator was going down, not saying a word or looking at each other.
Eventually, the elevator landed down and they arrived.
They appeared to be in the same courtoom they were in before.
Except the Egyptian palace look changed to a crystal filled cave layout.
Yoku's picture with a red X on it was still there. While Alistair's picture, with a dry orange X- was here he stood, and Dimitri's; with a foggy grey covering him and then a red X over that- where the kid once stood.
There was a monitor laying on a throne with F on the screen
Everyone went to their seats.
"When the trial is finished, you will all vote as to who you think the guilty party is. If you vote correctly, then they will be executed and you'll get to continue living here. if you all vote incorrectly- then the killer gets away with it, and it's everyone else who dies.
You have as long as you think you need, just tell me you feel like voting when you've all made up your minds!
And to be honest, I hope you get this guy"

F: The Killing Game Chapter 2: Despair, Distrust and Disappointment Trial Life
And here they were again.
The second trial.
This time, they have to find a person who was evil enough to kill a child who din't anything to the murder.
"Let the trial begin!" F announced
"The murder weapon is the smoke machine. However, we only found a piece of the machine in Dimitri’s room, the part that releases the smoke. The people I suspect to be the culprit are Minami, Kita, Huang or Kerigo." Kazumi said.
"Me and Huang were together since the party started, trying to find a way out of this building." Kerigo said.
"As I said before, you two could just be giving each other an alibi to get out of being suspected." Kita said.
"I wasn't. I understand the only evidence I have is Huang's claim, but if Huang and I weren't together, wouldn't Huang have immediately said that I was suspicious? but no, Huang vouched for me, why would he do that if we weren't together?" Kerigo asked.
"Both of you could of worked together to kill the kid then, to protect your secrets." Kita said, folding her arms.
"The Wheel of Fate never landed on me, you twit." Huang said.
"I agree with that. No one got Huang's info so he wouldn't have a motive to kill Dimitri. Also, Manuel has Kerigo's info." Sidra said.
"And, when it comes to people who need to protect their secrets...Dimitri had information on Kita." Kerigo said.
Kita rolled her arms, tensing up.
"The piece in Dimitri's room was a part of the smoke machine. You proved to be pretty strong when you lifted me up. You could of ripped that machine part and activated it to kill Dimitri." Huang said.
"Why...you." Kita said.
"When would Kita be able to do this!? She only left the Party room once, and that was to get food for everyone to eat!" Minami said.
"Like we can trust the testimony of the killer's blood relative."Nicole grimaced. "You'd say anything to cover Kita's tracks if she did anything!"
"..Wait."Fujiko said, realizing something. "Minami and Kita are sisters.. right? They know that if the killer gets away with the murder,then everyone else dies. So why would they go through with the murder? they'd be killing their own sister."
"Chuo said something about Minami going straight for the machine, right?" Sidra asked.
"I went straight for it, yes, but it was already gone." Minami said.
"That's true. I don't think she was able to sneak it past me, because I was looking at her the entire time." Chuo said.
"I hate to interrupt the guilty confession party, but while I'm all in for accusing guys who aren't me...what about Fujiko? She kept frequently visiting the kid since the last trial." Dickard said.
Fujiko turned to Dickard, angered by that presumption.
"For your information, I kept visiting him because he needed help with his devices." Fujiko said.
"She is correct. We found blueprints regarding what Dimitri wanted Fujiko to bring to his room." Kazumi said.
"Fujiko could of easily sneaked the smoke machine part into Dimitri's room by mixing it in with everything he asked for, right?" Kerigo asked.
"He gave me all of that stuff the day before the motive. I spent the entire day of the motive with the party and making sure no one went off alone." Fujiko said.
Kerigo then crossed his arms, closing his eyes while deep in thought.
Amenhotep coughed.
"Speaking of the machine...Where is it? We never found it, did we?" Amenhotep asked.
Sidra closed his eyes, thinking, remembering that Kerigo and Chuo mentioned that they found a pile of junk in the warehouse before the trial.
"...With what Kerigo and Chuo told us...maybe they actually found the machine." Sidra said.
"They did?" Huang asked.
"Well, there was this pile of metal and plastic in the warehouse..." Chuo said.
"When Chuo looked through it, a small black thread fell out of it." Kerigo spoke up.
"So, that means the killer is someone who wears black?" Amenhotep asked.
"Huang and Fujiko have black business suits. And both Manuel and Kerigo wear black." Dickard said.
"Then it had to be Fujiko!" Yaruda exclaimed.
Fujiko looked at him in disbelief.
"W-Why would you think that!?" Fujiko asked.
"You were the only one with the opportunity to sneak the device into Dimitri's room by mixing it in with everything you were giving him, and what's more, you have more motive than anyone else here for wanting to escape!" Yaruda said.
Fujiko's face turned bright red.
"...I...would never kill a child. No matter the circumstances! And I din't receive anything about Dimitri on the Wheel of Fate!" Fujiko said.
"You din't, you received mine. However, I know about someone who has a bit of information on you, Fujiko. Sidra, tell everyone what motive Fujiko would have for wanting to leave!" Yaruda said.
Fujiko turned her head to Sidra.
"....What does he mean by that?" Fujiko asked.
Sidra sighed as he showed everyone her info.
"...Your Universe...sounds quite a hostile place." Manuel said, looking at her file.
"...What does this mean?" Nicole asked.
"This all seemed like something that would be worth killing over." Yaruda said.
"BUT I DIN'T! There's got to be some evidence that proves that I couldn't of done this!!! I gave Dimitri the parts he needed the day before the motive was announced, I met with Amenhotep outside the dorms and we talked before I handed the parts to Dimitri. Kerigo also saw me leave the warehouse with the box, I din't give anything to Dimitri beyond his food the day after that!" Fujiko said, looking really pissed.
"...Amenhotep?" Huang asked.
"Um, yes, I can confirm that we both talked to each other." Amenhotep said.
"...Dickard was in the dance room all day that day, right, he got so drunk that he couldn't stand when the motive was announced. Maybe he saw something?" Kita asked.
"Dickard, did you see the smoke dispenser that day?" Nicole asked.
"I'm pretty sure I would of noticed if the smoke machine wasn't there, Nic, thanks." Dickard said.
"...So, it was still there." Nicole said.
"Well, if it wasn't Kita, Minami or Fujiko, then who the fuck was it?" Huang asked.
"Maybe Manuel. He also wears black." Dickard suggested.
"I was at the party the entire time. I din't like the music but was still there nonetheless." Manuel said.
"If the smoke machine was taken before the party began,then it wouldn't matter where anyone was during the party, would it? It would also explain why Minami and Chuo were unable to find the smoke machine when it was the first thing they went to grab." Yaruda said.
"But it was still there when Dickard was partying. So when could the smoke machine have been taken?" Nicole asked.
"..Yesterday night,... or this morning."Chuo responded, after a bit of thinking.
"With that in mind, Fujiko could of grabbed the machine this morning. Or possibly yesterday night." Sidra guessed.
"It couldn't be this morning. Because me and Fujiko were discussing the party in the cafeteria during the morning!" Minami said.
"What about night, then? She left early to get Dimitri some food, so-" Kerigo said.
"HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO SNEAK THE MACHINE INTO DIMITRI'S DINNER!? AND AGAIN, THIS WAS *BEFORE* THE MOTIVE WAS ANNOUNCED! I'D NEVER KILL A CHILD, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!" Fujiko yelled out, her voice was so loud that it echoed in the entire area.
Tears began to stream down her face, as she was now crying.
"...All...I'm asking is for some actual honest to God evidence, that I even took the machine. I was talking to Minami throughout the morning and left to take Dimitri's food to him at night, when would I have the chance to take and dismantle the smoke machine!? I want you all just to believe me...do I really seem like the person of person who would kill someone like Dimitri?" Fujiko asked.
"...I really don't think Fujiko did it. Fujiko does seem to want to stop the killing, I doubt she would lay a trap like this one. And besides, there's something that's bothering me." Minami said.
"What's that?" Amenhotep asked.
"How did the killer know.. that this would kill Dimitri?"Minami asked.
"...The only ones who would know that smoke is deadly to Dimitri...are Yaruda, Kerigo and Kazumi, since he had Dimitri's file." Sidra said.
"Exactly!"Fujiko declared. "I wouldn't know!"
"And I doubt that Dimitri would just tell Fujiko his weakness."Minami said.
"We can probably rule Kazumi out, if the motive was given after the smoke machine was taken."Kerigo said. "But I don't think we can rule Fujiko out just yet. She could've figured out that Dimitri was weak to smoke another way."
"Such as?"Nicole asked.
"The library."Kerigo said. "Maybe there was information in the book on universe 9, about the citizens of that universe being particularly sensitive to Smoke, or, Dimitri might have actually told Fujiko about his smoke allergy, trusting her with this information."
"I don't think Fujiko is the murderer. She would never hurt a fly, let alone kill a child. It was just impossible." Amenhotep said.
"Then who do you think the culprit is?" Kerigo asked Amenhotep.
"I don't know, it could of been Huang, or maybe you for all I knew!" Amenhotep said.
"Hm, that's ridiculous." Kerigo said.
"From what I heard from the investigation, Dimitri received a letter from his dad. Maybe that could of been an alternate way for Fujiko to know about the smoke? " Sidra asked.
"The letter did not mention smoke. It did have blueprints that involved forcefields and such." Kazumi said.
"Exactly."Fujiko said. "Dimitri didn't tell me, and I never learned from anyone else, there's no way I could've known to use the smoke to kill Dimitri."
"You're the only person who could've snuck it into his room."Kerigo said. "Dimitri had holed himself up in his room since the second floor was open and you're the only person who interacted with him since."
Then, Nicoles eyes widened.
"Wait a minute!"Nicole said. "Wait a minute wait a minute WAIT A MINUTE!"
"..What is it?"Kerigo asked.
"When we all went to the gymnasium, Dimitri was already there, wasn't he?"Nicole asked. "Dimitri was out of his room when we were all meeting up for the motive!"
"...That's right...din't he mention that the lights and party equipment looked dangerous to him?" Sidra asked.
"No, You idiot!"Nicole said. "Dimitri said 'lights and party equipment', he never specified the smoke machine! And what I'm saying is that Dimitri wasn't in his room!"
"And.."Chuo Started "..with Dimitri out of his room...that would've been a good opportunity for someone to sneak the smoke machine into it, right?"
"Exactly!"Nicole said.
"Do you have a rebuttal for that?" Huang asked Fujiko.
"I was with Minami, throughout the entirety of the morning, and when Minami left to get Kita I was with the rest of the group in the gym hall, I was not alone for any point in time that morning." Fujiko said.
"I can confirm this." Minami said.
"Then who the hell was it then?" Dickard asked, getting annoyed with this back and forth.
...Everything stopped for a second.
"...Maybe...we could try going through everything the killer would need to do to set this up?" Chuo suggested.
"The killer would need to be someone who had a opportunity to sneak into Dimitri's room while he was in the gymnasium." Minami said.
"And it would need to be someone who would be able to get the smoke machine after Dickard was finished partying there, and before everyone got there." Nicole said.
"The killer would also need to have known about Dimitri's Smoke Allergy before the motive was even announced." Yaruda said.
"And because of the black thread, the killer would be someone who wears black." Chuo added.
"You people are just pulling at straws to find someone who isn't Fujiko because you don't want to accuse someone who's been acting so nice. Fujiko's the only person who could have done any of this. The answer's obvious." Kerigo said.
"The answer should be clear if we look at the events of the past few days, the true answer, that is." Minami said, rubbing her head.
As Sidra listened to everything that they had to say, he began making a few conclusions in his head.
The word letters in his head formed into one name:Kerigo.
He turned to Kerigo.
"You knew about Dimitri being invulnerable to smoke before the motive, you wear black, you kept accusing Fujiko even after all the evidence was presented that contradicts her being the murderer. Also...when everyone was there to hear F's next motive, besides Minami and Kita, you were the last one to arrive there." Sidra said.
Kerigo turned his head slightly.
"Any evidence that points to me?"He asked, plainly.
"As I said, you knew about Dimitri's smoke problem during Yoku's murder. You were the first one to go to bed after F said at the cafeteria that the motive would be revealed at morning and Dickard was out of there, thus giving you the opportunity to get the machine. And in the next morning, when Minami went to check on Kita before they went to the gymnasium to hear F's Motive, you followed Minami and then arrived at the same time with her and Kita, and Dimitri was in the gymnasium by then. Meaning, you could of snucked the smoke machine piece in Dimitri's room. And you din't agree with Fujiko's plan and most likely went with Huang so you could create yourself a good alibi to keep yourself out of the loop. Not to mention your insistence on accusing Fujiko and the thread could of came from your judge gown. And the thread came from the warehouse, the place where you decided to check out first." Sidra explained.
"Yes, this did make me look suspicious, but surely Minami and Kita would have noticed me going into Dimitri's room, wouldn't they?" Kerigo asked.
"They might have, but their rooms are closer to the entrance of the dorms than your's is, all you'd have to do is wait till Minami went into Kita's and then hurry it into Dimitri's." Sidra said.
"What about when I'd have left the room? They definitely would've thought that something was up if I walked out of his room and not my own." Kerigo said.
"That doesn't matter. You could've just waited until you heard them walk out before you left." Fujiko said.
"Ha!"Kerigo smiled, "But Dimitri's room is soundproof, how would I have known when Minami or Kita were to have left their room?"
"But Yoku's room wasn't soundproof. Maybe you snuck in his room, waited till Minami and Kita left and then go into Dimitri's room." Sidra said.
"Wouldn't Kerigo need Yoku's key to get into his room?" Huang asked.
"Kerigo did enter Yoku's room during the last investigation, so he could have grabbed the key then without anyone noticing." Yaruda said.
"That's preposterous, like I could of planned everything down to that detail back during the first trial." Kerigo said.
"You could have started planning this when you first learned of Dimitri's condition, so you taking a backup key wasn't out of the question at all." Fujiko said.
Kerigo sighed, rather loudly.
"We're all getting off track with this possibility when there's no actual evidence that backs it up." Kerigo said.
"Fine, let's look at this from a different angle. Kerigo saw me leave the warehouse with a box of supplies for Dimitri to use, and he chose to investigate the warehouse; where he had dumped the rest of the smoke machine, correct?" Fujiko asked.
"When I went to the warehouse, I did see Kerigo there with the pile of trash, at the time I didn't think it was weird, but...Kerigo wasn't actually looking at it that much; maybe Kerigo dumped the trash in there at that moment." Chuo said.
"That is nonsense! Like he could carry all that around with me without Huang or anyone else noticing." Kerigo said.
When he said that, Sidra put his hand to his chin and smiled.
"The black thread came from the trash pile. Which means that the only way you could of hid it without anyone noticing...was under your judge gown the entire time." Sidra said.
Kerigo bit his lip, one of his eyes practically bulging for a second.
"..Are you kidding me? are you.. actually kidding me? Do you have any idea how big that thing is!? How much junk that is!? If I tore that thing apart why would I still be carrying around all of that trash! Anyone with half a mind would've disposed of it way earlier! Anyone who looked would've noticed a massive lump!" Kerigo yelled.
"Maybe you did. Maybe you only hid most of the trash under your gown when you first took it from the dance room and placed it in the warehouse, but the fact remains that this is still how the black thread got in that pile. All you'd have to do after you moved that was just carry around the small part that generated the smoke under the gown with you; and that wouldn't have been anywhere near as noticeable." Sidra said, still smiling.
Kerigo began bitting into his lip so hard that it started to bleed.
"...I want...actual proof. Actual honest to God proof that this is where that black thread came from. How could you tell that Fujiko didn't take it, you couldn't! there is no evidence anywhere as to where that thread came from, and you all know it!" Kerigo said.
"There is only way of knowing where it came from:take off the gown." Sidra said.
Kerigo's eyes widened.
"...What...why!?" Kerigo asked.
"Since the thread came from the gown, there would have to be a noticeable tear or a hole in the gown. Not take it off." Sidra demanded, glaring at Kerigo.
"...N-no, I refuse to! O-Order! I DEMAND ORDER IN COURT!" Kerigo yelled.
"Take it off...or I'll do it for you." Kazumi threatened.
"There's no need to agitate yourself, Kerigo. If you are innocent, surely you could let Sidra check out your gown to prove that you are not guilty." Manuel said.
Kerigo bit down on his lip so much even more blood dripped out of it.
His arms shook as he clasped the podium.
"...Fine."He said, giving up. "It was me."
"It's over." Sidra said.
"It's time we vote." Kazumi said.
"Before that." Yaruda said.
He held up yet another manga chapter, to remind everyone how the entire crime scene went. Though Kerigo looked monstrous in the manga than he did in real life.
"...Is that really necessary?" Kerigo asked.
"It is, definitely." Yaruda said.
Fujiko looked to Kerigo, her forehead blackened as her dull, glassy eyes stared holes into him.
"You deserve everything that's coming to you."She said.
Everyone then casted their votes and the selected guilty one was...Kerigo K'thrysdean Algohlvania.
"DING, DING! We have a winner! Kerigo Jesus Christ your name is too long from Universe 8!" F Announced.
"It's K'thyrsdean Algohlvania you sociopath!"Kerigo yelled.
"Like you're one to talk."Kita said, "You killed a 10 year old kid without any motive."
"...Just because.. I didn't use the motive we were given this round, doesn't mean I didn't have one. My motive was the same one that Alistair had."Kerigo said.
"You mean you're letter?"Minami asked.
"...Yes, it was from my fiancé, Arenelia."Kerigo said. "With me gone, universe 8 had no head judge, as a result- the law system; which was already decaying enough with me there to help patch it together, was fraying even moreso, and now everything's gone to shit. Universe 8 needs me there so I can help save it's collapsing economy."
"Man, this is ironic." F commented.
"..What is ironic?"Kerigo asked.
"Hm,I'm pretty sure the economy in that place would be falling apart if you were there or if you weren't."
"Maybe so."Kerigo said. "But if I was there, I would at least be able to help Arenelia make it through this mess. she told me in her letter that she was going to try to take out the people behind it head on, and I needed to be there for her! in case something happened!"
"Hm, an interesting story. However, I can't see it happening. You're too greedy to make a change in the system." Manuel said.
"...What are you saying?" Amenhotep asked.
"Kerigo mentioned he was a Omnipotent. However, he never mentioned his element, did he?" Manuel asked.
"Listen."Kerigo said. "That is not how a ommipotent element works. I can control Greed. That's why I was such a effective judge, I was able to detect, and sense the greed of everyone around me and let me tell you you're completely filled up with the stuff. By manipulating the greed of those around me, I can make changes in the system- that's how I reached the position I'm in." Kerigo said.
"Fair enough. Though, it appears now your fiancée will have to change the system on her own without you, knowing what's gonna happen to you next." Manuel said.
"Does this mean Kerigo is gonna get pinballed to death?" Dickard asked the monitor.
"Nah, I have something special for Ke-"
The Monitor turned off.
"..Yeah, no I'm not getting pinballed to death."Kerigo said, holing a strange device in his hands.
Fujiko seemed to recognize it. "..T.That's one of the things from Dimitri's blueprints!"
"What?"Kerigo asked. "You seriously think all I did was put the smoke dispenser in his room? Naturally I took a couple of things I could would be useful with me."
He turned around and pulled something else out; which generated a force field around him as he started to run.
And just then, the forcefield turned off, and both of the devices vanished into thin air as Kerigo collapsed on the floor.
"Wow! You almost got me there!" F exclaimed. "You god damn weasel!
But yeah, you're not escaping your punishment that easily!
The Omnipotent of Greed has quite a interesting execution ahead of him, although I think only Manuel will truly understand it.
Oh well, here we go!"
Kerigo stood back up, his cheek bleeding for some reason as he looked at everyone..
then, a portal opened up under him and he fell.
..
He landed on his feet in a small tube; able to stand in it, but not able to take too many steps. He looked around, noticing the tube itself was in a empty room; and appeared to go up higher than he could see.
Something fell from the top of the tube, and clinked harmlessly against his head as it hit the floor, he looked down. to see a single five pence coin.
Kerigo's eyes widened- as he started to bash on the tube; trying to break it open, as it began literally raining money in the tube; small pence coins hammering down on him- causing him to stumble over and to his knees as he kept banging at it, more and more coins falling down and piling up, with him trapped inside it.
Eventually he couldn't even be seen, more and more layers of coins falling down and producing nasty cracking sounds until the tube itself was eventually filled to the brim with them.
And finally, the tube opened- all of the coins spilling out of it and rolling to the floor.
One blood stained coin rolled all the way to the staircase, before it hit the ground, landing on heads.
...
the Monitor then changed back to F's siluhuette, as the execution had ended.
"The Greedy Judge, who tried to cast everyone aside for his own selfish goals, who had layed a trap that would kill the runt trapped within it, was given all of the money he could ever desire.
And with that money, he retired from his job as a judge and left to go on holiday with his fiancé in the farms somewhere, knowing a rich and fulfilling life was ahead of him.
Oh yeah if any of you guys want to steal his headdress you can find it in my shop, enjoy yourselves!"
The Monitor turned off.
Most of them did not seem to be as horrified at Kerigo's execution as they did at Alistair's.
Probably because it wasn't as brutal or because he deserved it
"...So, that guy too?...Guess I really can't trust anyone in this damn place." Huang said, as he left the trial grounds.
Fujiko, with a still enraged expression on her face, left without a word.
Shortly followed by Minami and Kita.
"...I'm not doing a ritual for him. His spirit can rot." Amenhotep said, before he left.
"...I really don't care." Dickard said, before leaving.
Manuel and Kazumi left.
Sidra was staring at the monitor, sighing.
"...Let's just go." Nicole said, leaving.
"...I'm kinda sad about Arenelia. Even if her husband was a jerk, she still deserved to know what happened." Chuo said.
As he said that, he left.
Sidra eventually left.
At dinner, those who were there were pretty silent
"...Sooo, now with the trial out of the way, who here is looking forward to yet another party, eh?" Dickard asked.
None of them answered.
"...No one? Well, suits me. More booze for me." Dickard said.
Fujiko intently looked at Dickard, with the same pissed off expression.
"Dickard. Shut up, and never speak again."Fujiko said, clearly not in the mood for his dickery.
"...You know, for once, I would actually want to enjoy myself without being treated like a second thought. You guys are just as bad to put up with as Kacaj was." Dickard sighed before he left the dining hall.
Huang was simply staring at his own food...before he grabbed plate and tossed it right into the ceiling as he left the hall aswell.
"...I have something I want to do." Minami said, as she left.
Kita followed her.
Nicole didn't even have any food.
Fujiko sighed, before standing up.
"...From this day forward...I'm not gonna let any of this happen again." Fujiko said.
"It's more easier to say than act." Kazumi said.
"You still have the plug from the dance room, right? You could plug it into one of those computers." Sidra asked Yaruda.
"I could do that...but I want to pay respect to Dimitri first." Yaruda said.
Fujiko looked at Kazumi.
"I know it's gonna be hard, which is why first thing tomorrow, I'm going to start cracking down on everything here. Everything dangerous has got to go, and a few changes will have to be made." Fujiko said.
"What will those changes be, if you don't mind me asking?" Amenhotep asked.
"Nothing too bad. There just might be a few rooms being closed off, I have no definite plans yet, sadly." Fujiko said.
"I hope it will be worth it." Sidra said.
"A bit of light shining through this gloom is something that everyone needs right now." Manuel said.
Fujiko nodded at that.
Chuo, however, just stood up and left the second Manuel opened his mouth.
Manuel din't turn his head to Chuo at all.
"...I guess I'm going to bed. Good night." Sidra sighed.
"Good night." Fujiko said.
Sidra got up and left the dining hall.
Nicole simply looked at the ground a bit before she got up and left the room aswell.
When Sidra and Nicole got to the sleeping quarters.
Dimitri's doorway was still wide open.
Nicole sighed, not even looking at it as she walked past it and into her room.
Sidra turned to the door and went inside.
He looked inside the room before he spotted Dimitri's cape.
He picked it up and puts it in the box along with his dad's letter.
"...Hope the afterlife will be better than this place...Genius prodigy." Sidra said.
He closed the box and left the room.
The sound of Dimitri's door being closed for good was heard. Never to be opened again

F: The Killing Game Chapter 3: Two Birds, One Killer Daily Life
Another morning, another day in hell.
Atleast, that's what Sidra was thinking in his head as he woke up to find himself once again in this infernal prison instead of being in his comfortable home, where he felt safe.
The Monitor turned on.
"Morning time, bitches! Time to get your asses off the beds and go to the cafeteria to fat yourselves up." F said.
The monitor turned off.
"...Joy." Sidra sighed.
He walked out of his room and went to the cafeteria.
Amenhotep, Fujiko, Kazumi and Manuel were there.
Dickard arrived next.
"Morning peeps." Dickard yawned.
"Morning." Fujiko simply responded.
Next up was Chuo,
who took some food and then sat next to Fujiko.
Then Minami and Kita, who sat on the same small table they were sitting at last chapter.
For some reason, Kazumi looked at Minami and Kita before turning his head away.
"...So, did you do your spiritual ritual for Dimitri?" Fujiko asked Amenhotep.
"I did before I went to bed. Kerigo, however, I put a black mark on his door, so his spirit would be trapped here and never rest. His soul deserved to turn into a fiend." Amenhotep said.
"It's what he deserves." Fujiko said.
"...He was still trying to get back to his fiancé though..." Chuo started.
"And he killed a child for that end." Fujiko harshly continued.
And then Nicole walked in.
"Yaruda went straight for the computer room." Nicole said as she sat down.
"I'll go there. I'll make sure that no one will try to murder him or interrupt his work." Kazumi said, as he got up and left.
"...Kazumi has like one arm and one eye. How is he gonna beat a killer?" Dickard asked.
"Kazumi is the captain of his Universe's Elite Guard. Even if a soldier is crippled, they can still do damage." Manuel said.
"He'd still have a disadvantage against people with both arms and eyes, though." Minami said.
Huang then entered in the room.
He din't really say hello or morning to anyone, or even sit, he just stood there.
"Good morning." Amenhotep said.
"Yeah, yeah. Well, I just had a nice dream in which I actually escape from this damn place and Dickard died during the escape'." Huang said.
"Hahahaha, that was so not fucking funny but I'm still fakely laughing just to humor your shitty joke, hahahaha." Dickard sarcastically laughed, looking annoyed.
Fujiko then cleared her throat.
"Almost everyone is here, right?" Fujiko asked.
She then stood up.
"I took the liberty of disposing of a couple of dangerous items last night. " Fujiko said.
"What do you mean by that?" Nicole asked.
"I disposed of some things I thought could be used to kill someone. The knives in the kitchen some of the scalpels in the art room, things like that." Fujiko said.
Minami frowned in response as she heard that.
"Those weights in the workout room could still be used to kill someone." Sidra said.
"Well, you are the most strongest one out of us, you could get rid of the weights." Fujiko said.
and then, the Monitor turned on.
"ooooh sweetie, just because you're removing a couple of sharp objects here and there doesn't mean that a murder still won't happen, people will just need to get creative. I sure know that fucker last time was creative about it.
Eitherway, a new floor has opened up- full of even more sharp objects!.. maybe, actually, there's not that many sharp objects there.
just check it out."
"...Should we even bother checking that out?" Nicole asked.
"Might aswell. We could try to find some exit points atleast." Sidra said.
"Okay, before we continue, I have a question...should we even keep trying to get out of here?" Dickard asked.
"Oh, here we go." Kita rolled her eyes.
"Alright, before you guys get triggered as always by what I have to say, I want to say something: most of my life in Universe 7 pretty much sucked. From hippie parents who kept trying to force their dumbass beliefs on my throat to a boss who is full of himself that he has a statue of himself made out of diamonds. Guys, this place basically has almost everything. The reason these murders keep happening is because everyone has families, important jobs and something else. If it wasn't for that, would you guys still want to leave this place?" Dickard asked.
Nicole looked pretty surprised to hear Dickard making a valid argument.
"Right now, the most important thing to do is try to find anything that could possibly be used to kill someone, and remove it as soon as possible. However, if we never actually wanted to leave, then there wouldn't be any reason to kill. So...you might actually have a point here." Fujiko said, as she left.
Minami then walked out shortly after her, followed by Kita.
"...For once...Dickard said something that made sense." Nicole said.
"Yeah, well I bet if you were a psychic and saw a future of you and Dickard being married in this place and having a family full of kids, I bet you wouldn't agree with him now." Huang said
"Was that supposed to be yet another sarcastic joke?" Dickard asked.
"You're fucking A-right it's sarcasm, you fuck. Unlike you who lived his entire life as a bachelor, I studied my ass off to make a change in my Universe so then everyone would forget that Hastur was a thing. And then a psychotic interdimensional terrorist shoved me in this hellhole with a bunch of guys who are more than willing to kill and every time I go to bed, I keep thinking if tomorrow will be my last day of being alive! Forgive me, you ignorant fuck, but sarcasm is all I fucking got! Sarcasm! And a room full of you ingrates! Now, fucking excuse me, I'm going to the next floor to find a way out!" Huang said.
He walked out of the room and slammed the door as he left.
"...What was that about!?" Amenhotep asked, looking confused.
"...Just because I agreed with one thing he said, doesn't mean I like him." Nicole grimaced.
with that, she left; any trace of a good mood completely eviscerated.
Chuo just kind of shrank into himself as he remained sitting at the table.
"...Well, Huang's rant utterly depressed me. I'm going to join you all later. I'm going back to my room to write a story to cheer myself up." Manuel said, leaving the cafeteria.
Dickard merely shrugged off Huang before he walked out with Amenhotep to check the next floor.
Sidra looked at Chuo.
"Are you coming?" Sidra asked.
Chuo nodded, standing up.
Then everyone went to the next floor(except Manuel, Kazumi and Yaruda) and began looking around.
Fujiko was in the infirmary, looking through all of the medicine and trying to find any mentions of unpleasant side effects written on their labels.
Dickard and Nicole were in a rec room
There was a billiard table, a locker with a trophy on the top, magazine rack, some red bottles with chest pieces inside on them laying on a shelf and other sorts of things
Dickard looked around the room.
"Looks like I found myself another fun room when I get bored of the dance room club." Dickard said.
Nicole did not look too interested.
Sidra and Chuo were in what looked like a TV Room, with a small- very outdated TV and movie player; with several, really, really bad looking movies all piled up near it. It also had a couple of lounge chairs, and a ceiling fan.
Chuo picked up a remote.
"...This one looks like a remote for DVD's only." Chuo said.
Sidra was mostly looking at the movies.
He pulled out one featuring arnold Schwarzenegger, one featuring a complete 6th season of a show and one movie featured Ryo and Angel, with the title 'In Love with the Anti-Christ' before he puts it back.
"Humans have strange interests when it comes to movies." Sidra said.
"I never really liked movies, a lot of them just re-tread ground that other works already covered completely." Chuo said.
"The only thing I watch on TV back in my home universe are cooking shows." Sidra said.
"Okay." Chuo said, not seeming to care.
It cuts to a physics lab.
Amenhotep was standing there, having no idea at what he was looking at.
Huang was there, mostly trying to find clues or any traces of an exit.
Fujiko then walked in; carrying a bag full of items she apparently saw as dangerous in the infirmary with her as she looked around the physics lab- trying to find anything that looked like it could be used to kill anyone.
While walking around, Huang spotted a portrait of Nogra on the wall that happened to be there for some reason
Huang took the portrait and tossed it on the ground, hoping there would be something secret.
There wasn't
"...I shouldn't even be surprised." Huang sighed.
it then cut to Minami and Kita, who were in...
a theatre, or, so it seemed.
Complete with over 50 chairs for the audience to sit in, and the backstage curtain, the room also had railings and stairs that went up to a extension of the theatre on the next floor.
Minami walked up them.
"...I don't see any entrance to the fourth floor from here." Minami said.
Kita simply shrugged.
Eventually, everyone finished their investigating and meet up on the third floor.
"Me and Chuo found a room full of crappy movies." Sidra said.
"I went into a...weird...place...with machines." Amenhotep said.
"Me and Nic found a sweet rec room." Dickard said.
"Me and Kita found a really, really tall theatre room." Minami said.
"I found some poison mixed in with the medicine in the infirmary, and a couple of blunt objects in the physics room that could possible be used to bash people in. I already disposed of them." Fujiko said.
"No secret exists." Huang said, looking annoyed.
"I wonder if Yaruda is having any luck with the computers." Sidra said.
"You could always check. I've got some deadly items to dispose of." Fujiko said, as she walked downstairs.
Nicole went after her.
"if you're' thinking of burning that poison it'll just turn into poisonous gas!" Nicole said.
"I won't. I'm placing them in a room I'm going to seal off so no one can get to them." Fujiko said, a bit quieter.
Nicole looked a bit relieved, but looked unsure.
"I'll try to keep looking in this hall." Huang said.
"I suppose Manuel will be happy to know that there is a infirmary where he can find some pills." Amenhotep said, walking after Fujiko.
"I'm gonna give the rec room a try." Dickard said, as he went in the room.
"I'm going back to the art room. Are you coming, Kita?" Minami asked.
Kita nodded, following Minami.
Chuo just kinda stood in the hallway.
"...Guess I could watch one of those shitty movies to pass the time." Chuo said, as he left.
Sidra went to the second floor with Minami and Kita, to check up on Yaruda and Kazumi in the library
Kazumi was standing there, right behind Yaruda as he was on the computer.
Yaruda had got the computer working.
He then turned around, looking really, really annoyed.
"Good news, the piece of shit is working, bad news, F left their adblocker off while watching porn so now this things loaded to the fuck with so many virus's I can't even load internet explorer without getting 200 pop ups about penis enlargement." Yaruda said.
"Well, that sucks." Sidra sighed.
"It's quite annoying, I can assure you." Kazumi said.
"I'm trying to find a way to get some king of antivirus program working so I can get rid of all of this shit, but this computer is running on Windows 9. I din't even know it existed." Yaruda said.
"In the meantime, I'll stay here in case anything happens. After Kerigo, I'm not taking any chances. Yaruda is the only one who can get us out of here now." Kazumi said.
Sidra nodded before he walked out.
Yaruda continued typing away at the computer, before sighing and turning the internet off.
That seemed to do the trick; stopping the popups.
So, he started going through the computer's files, and...
he found there were over 100 folders; all of which were pure gibberish.
"This is going to be fun."Yaruda said sarcastically, as he clicked on a random one, to find that inside that folder... was 20 other folders and a single image.
He clicked on it and found a picture of a watermelon.
Kazumi looked visibly annoyed even if his back was turned to Yaruda
Meanwhile, everyone else was doing their thing
Manuel was in the infirmary, currently looking for medicine that matched the ones he has from 10
Huang was in the theatre room, trying to find a way to get to the next floor without success
Dickard was in the rec room, playing billiard on his own
Amenhotep was in the F shop, trying out the machine and...received a top hat.
Sidra was leaning against the wall in the first floor with his arms folded.
Chuo had managed to find a film to watch in the movie room that was so boring that he actually fell asleep on the chair.
Minami was in the art room- it was impossible to see what she was doing because Kita was blocking the door by standing directly in front of it.
Fujiko was in front of the warehouse- putting some police tape all over the door so no one would enter it.
Nicole was in sitting in the gaming room, holding a controller but not pressing any of the buttons.
Sidra wasn't standing that far from Fujiko as he looked at her.
"Will that be enough to prevent someone from entering in? They could ignore the police tape." Sidra said.
"They could. Which is why I'm wrapping it around the doors. To get in, they'd need to tear it." Fujiko said.
"I guess. But no matter what we do, a murder will still happen regardless. It's almost inevitable." Sidra said.
"You don't know that." Fujiko said.
"I don't. But it's a chance." Sidra said.
"This time, there won't be a chance of someone's blood being spilled once again." Fujiko said.
Sidra simply nodded at that.
"I'm going to the cafeteria to try out the rest of those tasty cakes that came from your Universe." Sidra said.
"Oh, my daughter made those. They're very popular." Fujiko said.
Sidra looked a bit surprised.
"...Huh. I don't want to be rude, but you and your daughter look alike by looking at your daughter's face on the cake boxes." Sidra said.
"We used to look similar, but her appearance changed when she awakened her powers." Fujiko said.
"What are her powers?" Sidra asked.
"She is the Omnipotent of Chemicals. She mostly used the element on the cakes, causing some weird side effects those cakes cause to a person's digestive system but fortunately they are not life threatening effects." Fujiko said.
"That explains a couple of things." Sidra said.
Fujiko just nodded.
"Do you and your daughter get along?" Sidra asked.
"...Our relationship is 'strained' to put it at best." Fujiko frowned.
"No kid can hate their mom forever. When we get out of here, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you again." Sidra said.
"...Yeah." Fujiko said, albeit, slightly unsurely.
Minami walked out of the Art Room, with some clay on her fingers; and a small stain on her raincoat, she looked annoyed.
"Are you okay?" Kita asked.
"There were hardly any tools in the art room. I hardly have anything I need." Minami said.
She closed the art room door and went downstairs. Kita continued to stand in front of the art room.
Manuel walked past Minami as he got on the second floor and went to Kita.
"Your sister looks agitated." Manuel said.
"She was." Kita said.
"Why is she agitated?" Manuel asked.
"Fujiko removed a lot of art tools from the art room." Kita said.
"Well, I can't exactly blame her for that. After Dimitri died, she is bent on stopping the killing game, no matter the cost." Manuel said.
"I don't have any opinion on that. But I know that me and my sister aren't going to kill anyone. Especially since doing so would mean being willing to throw away the life of my own sister, which is stupid." Kita said.
"Good to hear. I wish to see your sister's paintings sometime later." Manuel said.
"You like art?" Kita asked.
"When I was a young boy, I did two portraits but my work doesn't really compare to your sister's art." Manuel said.
"That's nice. Maybe when Minami finished, she can show it to you." Kita said.
Manuel nodded.
"That would be nice. I suppose being very far away from your home universe must be a burden on both you and Minami." Manuel said.
Kita just shrugged. not seeming particularly burdened.
"...The infirmary has quite a a collection of medicine from other Universes, including my medicine. You could borrow yourself some of the medicine in that infirmary incase you or Minami get sick, should be safe since Fujiko removed the poisonous bottles." Manuel said.
"I already have everything I needed in my room. But, if I ever ran out, that would be worth looking into." Kita said.
Manuel nodded again.
"Please tell me when your sister is finished with her work." Manuel said, before he left the hall.
Kita simply kept looking at Manuel before she looked the other way around.
Meanwhile.
Chuo woke up,
the film was still on the scene boring, boring scene- not wanting to fall asleep watching it again, he turned it off and just layed there for a while, thinking.
Amenhotep entered in the room, still holding the top hat.
Chuo turned his head.
"...Where did you get that?" Chuo asked, looking at the hat.
"I got it from F's weird shop." Amenhotep said.
"It reminded me of a friend of mine. Looked like the exact same hat he liked to wear during his shows." Chuo said.
"What shows?" Amenhotep asked.
"He is a magician." Chuo said.
Amenhotep looked surprised.
"Oh, what kind of magic does he use? Ancient magic? Dark magic? Magic of any kind?" Amenhotep asked.
"Mainly illusion magic, occasionally elemental...I guess magic is more common in your universe than it is in mine." Chuo said.
"Two of those Omnipotents have Magic and Necromancy as their elements. Plus, some of our weapons are powered by magic and scrolls that contain enchantments." Amenhotep said.
"I really don't know any of the Omnipotents from my Universe. Half of them were dead before I arrived, and the rest didn't live anywhere near me." Chuo said.
Amenhotep nodded, though it appeared he had something on his mind.
"...Are you okay?" Chuo asked.
"...I've been getting worried about Huang. Ever since Kerigo's execution, Huang doesn't trust us anymore and is mostly focusing on finding a way out. I'm afraid that Huang is gonna snap and do something dangerous." Amenhotep said.
"If he does...wouldn't it be best to stay out of it? If we try to stop him wouldn't Huang try to kill us?" Chuo asked.
"Maybe, but he is wasting time trying to find a way to escape. Not to mention, we don't know what F will cook up next. For all we know, F could make up a lie saying that if someone kills, they will give the killer a tip on how to get out of here, something that Huang would likely accept." Amenhotep said.
"That would be bad. What do you think we should do?" Chuo asked.
"I guess...we could try to stop any more people from dying, any way possible, even if it meant our own deaths. Of course, I don't mean that literally, it's just, I don't want to see any more people dying for nothing." Amenhotep said.
Chuo just nodded.
"...Frankly, I just don't want to die. So, I'm not exactly gonna risk my life for anything in here...It's not like I could really help, anyway.." Chuo said.
"Possibly. Though, sometimes our bodies can act without even thinking first...um, I apologise for wasting your own time. I'll go now." Amenhotep said, leaving the room.
Chuo looked at Amenhotep as he left, moving to stand up, but ultimately not.
..
Elsewhere.
Huang entered in the gaming room and looked at Nicole.
"Did you find anything important?" Huang asked.
Nicole shook her head.
Huang sighed before walking out, closing the door.
"Piss out of the way." Huang was heard.
Nicole just looked at the room's door with a 'what the fuck did you say' expression.
Dickard then entered in the room, with a annoyed expression.
"I was actually gonna invite him to play billiard but nope. Huang really needs to eat a dick and just die already." Dickard said.
"...Does he even know what that means in the first place?" Nicole asked.
"It's probably how people in Universe 4 swear each other off, I guess." Dickard shrugged.
"...But still, telling someone to die in a place where death has happened every 3 days is just..." Nicole sighed.
"Not my fault that Huang has been nothing but a negative pantsy. Besides bitching, moaning and walking around in a circle for 2 hours, what did he ever do to help?" Dickard asked.
"...I don't really understand you, Dickard." Nicole said.
"And ironically, I don't understand everyone else...so. Do you want to do something?" Dickard asked.
"...Maybe, sure, whatever, anything to get my mind off all of this bullshit....but nothing intimate, though." Nicole said.
"Not that, clearly." Dickard said.
Nicole just turned to the video game she was staring at.
"...Bet you can't beat me in a 1v1 Match." Nicole said.
"Pft, yeah, right." Dickard grinned, as he sat next to Nicole and grabbed a controller.
Nicole actually smiled at that.
Fujiko was still standing in front of the warehouse, then Minami walked up to her.
"Do you have a problem?" Fujiko asked.
"You told the group that you just removed a few scalpels from the art room." Minami said.
"...And you have a problem with that?" Fujiko asked, with a intimidating expression on her face.
"Look, normally, I would be fine with this. But I got something I really need to finish working on and I can't make it perfect if I don't have the proper tools and you up and removed every single tool from the art room; I had to use my fingers to sculpt it." Minami said.
"I appreciate your concern, but this is so no more murders happen. I'm sure that whatever you're making will be just fine if you use your fingers." Fujiko said.
Minami, still looked peeved, but seeing there was no point in trying to convince Fujiko to give the art supplies back, simply went back.
Eventually, it was nighttime.
Sidra, Dickard, Amenhotep, Manuel and a rather tired looking Kazumi were there at dinner.
Huang wasn't.
Nicole was sitting next to Dickard, unusually.
Sidra and Fujiko looked pretty confused to see Nicole actually sitting next to Dickard.
Minami and Kita were still sitting at their own table- and Yaruda and Fujiko were sitting with everyone else, Chuo wasn't eating anything- but was still there
"Hm, Huang's not here. That's not good, can someone go get him?"Fujiko asked.
"...I guess I could." Chuo sighed, walking out of the room.
A few minutes passed and Chuo came back with Huang who din't want to be there.
Chuo just looked relieved that Huang wasn't in a mood to kill someone. He then sat back.
so, dinner resumed.
"Sidra, Kazumi and Kita, you three volunteered for guard duty yesterday, but since the murder happened you never actually ended up doing this. Would you three mind doing that tonight?" Fujiko asked
"I'm fine with that." Kita said.
Sidra nodded.
Kazumi nodded aswell, even if he looked tired from guarding Yaruda.
Fujiko smiled at that.
Eventually, it was night and everyone were in their rooms except the three mentioned guards
Kita was just sitting in front of her own room;turning her head to look at each other one, not looking to be in the mood for conversation.
Sidra was looking around, looking kind of bored while Kazumi was simply standing there, focusing on doing his guardly duty.
Sidra, out of boredom, began whistling.
"Quit it." Kazumi said.
"Alright, sorry." Sidra sighed.
Eventually, night passed and no one was found murdered.
the next day, at breakfast.
Fujiko, Chuo, Yaruda, Sidra, Dickard, Kazumi, Manuel and Amenhotep and Nicole were there.
"Well, the guard plan worked, so far." Fujiko said.
"It did. Hopefully it will work again even after F will announce the next motive." Amenhotep said.
And then, Minami and Kita walked in.
Kita looked a bit worn out, the two sat by themselves as usual.
"...You two know that we aren't gonna bite you two or anything, right?" Dickard asked.
"There isn't anything wrong with us sitting here, is there?" Minami asked.
"No, but there is no harm sitting next to everyone else." Sidra said.
"We will sit wherever we want. So, we will, right?" Minami asked.
"Sheesh, sure, whatever."Nicole sighed.
And then F's monitor
"Hey guys, guess what? Another dead body has been found." F said
"What!?" Amenhotep asked.
"Ha, gotcha! No dead body...yet. Though, I see some of you are getting bored so, maybe go to the gymnasium to find something interesting there. Also, someone tell Huang to stop trying to kick holes in the male's bathroom on the third floor. It's useless." F said, before they turned off
"I'll get him."Fujiko said as she left the kitchen, "Everyone else, head to the gymnasium."
"Why is she suddenly telling us what to do?"Nicole asked.
"She is trying her best to prevent anyone else from being killed. Can't blame her for that." Sidra said.
Nicole just nodded at that, as everyone went to the gymnasium.
At the gymnasium, the found something that was wrapped in cloth.
Fujiko arrived with Huang.
The F monitor turned on
"Soooo, I'm sure most of you guys have plenty of money in your pockets and wallets and obviously use them for the good society...or use them on hookers, in Dickard's case." F said
"Hey." Dickard said
"...The motive is gonna be money?" Sidra asked.
"Fuck money, I have gold!" F said
The cloth dropped down, revealing a pile of gold in front of the group.
"...Hmph." Kazumi said.
"...That's...a lot of gold." Dickard said, his eyes were literally shinning.
"Hm, I have gold in my own palace." Amenhotep said, looking unimpressed.
Nicole just stared. "..So, gold, is the motive." She said. "..Why?"
"It's simple:some of you are greedy as fuck and don't have that much cash in their pocket. Just imagine the possibilities of using the gold. Like, I dunno, give them to museum's and get a nice reward, maybe a interview, or hell, sell them to rich pigs and become the richest desperados of the multiverse! Who WOULDN'T want to kill to get these babies, huh?" F asked.
"...Gold, seriously? SERIOUSLY!?" Huang asked very loudly.
"...If any of you actually kill for this motive I'm just going to be disappointed in all of us."Fujiko sighed.
"Is it me or have these motives slowly been getting worse and worse."Nicole commented, "I mean, It's not like we need to get out of here anyway when we have everything we could possibly need, but.. still, Are you even trying, F?"
"..I'll... *sob*.. I'll have you know I was working very hard on this one! *sobs* A-After Kerigo went and set up a death trap before I even announced my motive I.. I Made sure this would be one of the best, I showed it to my mum- and she told me it was amazing- A-And if you're going to be mean to me like this then... then...! Waaaaaaaaaah!"
F monitor turned off.
"Fuck you and your mother, father, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, ancestor, your possible children and any pets that you own!" Huang exclaimed as he left the area, looking more pissed than usual.
"...I believe we should go back to something that was much more important than this." Kazumi told Yaruda.
"I know, alright, geez."Yaruda sighed, looking more annoyed than usual as he left the gym.
Nicole just looked at them as they left.
"...Do you have any plans?" Nicole asked Fujiko.
"This motive isn't worth the effort."Fujiko sighed.
Dickard rolled his eyes as he walked out of the place.
"I guess F couldn't think of any good motives as of late." Manuel said, before he walked out.
For some reason Chuo was looking at him as his back was turned but Chuo left aswell.
Sidra simply stared before he walked out
At night
The others gathered in the dinning hall once again.
Huang, Dickard, Kazumi and Yaruda were not there.
"Huang, Dickard, Kazumi and Yaruda. Can someone get them?" Fujiko asked.
"I'll go." Nicole volunteered.
Chuo suddenly get up.
"...I'll...get Huang." Chuo said.
"Are you sure?" Sidra asked.
"Huang din't do anything when I went the last time to pick him up so yeah. He is probably on the third floor." Chuo said before he left.
"...Guess I'll pick up Kazumi and Yaruda then." Nicole shrugged.
"I'll pick up Dickard." Sidra said.
and so, Chuo, Nicole and Sidra left.
Chuo went up to the third floor and began to look around.
Suddenly, he heard some noise coming from the rec room.
Looking a bit nervous, he slowly went to the rec room.
while Nicole went straight for the library and then opened the door to the computer room.
She found Kazumi and Yaruda there who were doing their thing.
"You guys made any progress?" Nicole asked.
Kazumi shook his head off.
"I found a file containing a description of Dimitri's execution on here. Apparently, that F sicko would of shoved him into a Gundam which would of been powered up by his own blood and it would kill him. But besides that, nothing else." Yaruda said.
"That's alright. But, Fujiko wants you to come downstairs for dinner." Nicole said.
"Oh, Finally."Yaruda let out a deep breath.
Nicole walked out with Yaruda and Kazumi.
They met up with Sidra on the first floor.
"Where's Dickard?" Nicole asked.
"I knocked on the door and Dickard isn't coming out." Sidra said.
"...Okay, if he is gonna do what I think he is gonna do." Nicole said
Suddenly, a scream was heard from upstairs, sounding like it was coming from the third floor.
Yaruda jumped when he heard the scream while Kazumi turned his head to the direction of the scream.
"Are you FUCKING kidding me!?"Nicole asked, running back upstairs.
Sidra followed after Nicole.
When they both arrived there.
They found Huang laying on the ground, not moving.
Sidra's eyes widened.
"Huang!" Sidra said, before he ran to Huang, putting his hand to his pulse.
His pulse was still strong and Huang appeared to be breathing.
"...He is still alive but he is unconscious. We need to get him to the infirmary." Sidra said.
Nicole looked around and noticed that the door to the rec room was opened.
When she went there to look inside.
She saw...
Chuo laying on the ground, with a pool stick piercing his chest, his yukata covered in blood as he was bleeding out and wasn't moving.
There was a pair of blue glasses on the floor, shattered to pieces aswell as some red shards of one of the bottles that contained the chess piece and the chess piece was laying there aswell. The shards were covered in blood.
"....DICKARD YOU FUCKER!!" Nicole yelled, so loud that everyone- throughout the entire building heard it. Even those in the cafeteria.
Sidra entered in the room and his eyes widened when he saw Chuo.
"...C-Chuo." Sidra said.
Everyone else rushed over to the third floor and went into the rec room. They looked shocked when they saw Chuo.
"W-What, the hell happened!?" Yaruda asked.
"THAT BASTARD DICKARD KILLED CHUO AND POSSIBLY BEAT HUANG TO UNCONSCIOUSNESS!" Nicole yelled, pissed off.
"Oh...no..." Amenhotep said.
Manuel looked at Chuo before he looked at what was on the ground.
"...Those look like Dickard's glasses." Manuel said, looking at the shattered glasses.
Fujiko's face darkened as she looked at Chuo.
"...Those are his glasses, but.where.is.Dickard?" Fujiko asked.
"LET'S FIND THE RAT AND GET HIS ASS EXECUTED! THAT SON OF A...AH!" Nicole yelled.
"He could be hiding into one of the areas of this floor. Let's split up and find Dickard while someone else takes Huang to the infirmary." Kazumi said.
"I'll take Huang. I knew first aid after all." Minami said.
Minami and Kita both lifted Huang up and took him to the infirmary.
"I'll check the theatre!" Nicole said, running out of the room.
Sidra decided to go to the TV room.
He looked at every corner of the TV room.
"Dickard! Show yourself!" Sidra yelled.
There was no response
In the theatre, Nicole din't find any sign of Dickard.
She looked at the backstage curtain.
"...Dickard, if you are there..." Nicole growled.
When she pulled the backstage curtain...and found the trophy that was on the top of the locker from the rec room, now covered in blood.
Nicole backed away from that, gulping a bit.
Meanwhile, Kazumi and Yaruda were approaching the physics lab.
"...Wait. Do you hear that?" Kazumi asked.
"Hear what?" Yaruda asked.
They heard some weird noises. It sounded like someone gurgling.
Kazumi and Yaruda looked at each other before Kazumi put his hand on the door while Yaruda looked nervous to even enter the room.
He opened the door and...
Dickard was there...laying on the floor, bleeding from his head, cut marks on his face, not wearing his glasses and his ponytail was missing.
Dickard was somehow alive as he was weakly crawling while blood was dripping out of his mouth.
Kazumi stood back, his eye turned white.
"Holy shit.."Yaruda said, stumbling over to Dickard.
"D-Dickard!.. Dickard, what happened!?"He asked.
Kazumi walked up to Dickard
Dickard turned his head to them, looking afraid and somewhat confused.
"W-...Whaat?" Dickard asked.
"What happened?...Did..did you kill Chuo?" Kazumi asked.
"C-Chuo...what...I...don't even....remember...what...the fuck happened to me?" Dickard asked.
Dickard's eyes widened as he slowly closed his eyes and stopped crawling altogether.
Kazumi had a puzzled look on his face as he was staring at the now deceased Dickard.
"...Is he dead?" F asked.
"No, he is just sleeping OF COURSE HE IS DEAD, YOU TURD!" Yaruda yelled out
"Sorry, I had to make sure.
Eitherway, guess what guys, we found a dead body in the physics lab!"
The Monitor turned off.
then it turned on again.
"And there's another in the rec room, just so you all know.
That's rec room, physics lab.
rec room, physics lab
Wrecked Room, Physics Lab.
Hey, so, just for fun- since there's two victims this time; you all will need to vote for both their killers, which means, two voting times!
have fun!"
and then, the monitor turned off.
"...Two killers?" Kazumi asked, still looking confused. Probably more confused than he was his entire life.
Everyone else entered in the physics room.
Nicole pushed Fujiko and Sidra out of the way, looking pissed before her eyes widened as she saw Dickard.
"...The...FUCK!?" Nicole asked.
End of Daily Life

F: The Killing Game Chapter 3: Two Birds, One Killer Killing Life
This time, it wasn't a single murder. It was a double murder.
Everyone was standing, looking very shocked and confused.
Dickard, the most dickish person out of the group, the one who supposedly killed Chuo...was dead himself.
"...How...did this happen?" Sidra asked.
"..W.. Was I wrong?"Nicole asked. "..Did Dickard.. not kill Chuo?"
"It seems...there are two killers this time." Amenhotep said, sweating.
"That's impossible. There can't be two of us. It could of been just one who killed both Chuo and Dickard. Two of us couldn't of began working together to murder them in such a short period of time." Kazumi said.
"It's possible they killed each other." Minami suggested.
"Maybe, but what about Huang? Why was he passed out like that?" Amenhotep asked.
"I'll ask him when he wakes up." Minami said.
"Then you'll stay in the infirmary till he wakes up. The rest of us will split up in two teams to investigate both crime scenes." Kazumi said.
"I'll check on Chuo." Sidra said.
"I will help Sidra with Chuo." Manuel said.
"...I suppose I could check on Dickard." Amenhotep mumbled.
"Then I'll check on Dickard." Kazumi said.
"...I'll stay here." Nicole frowned, her eyes still on Dickard.
"Might aswell check on him." Yaruda sighed, referring to Dickard.
"I'll look at the scene of Chuo's death." Fujiko said.
"This means that I'll be looking over Chuo aswell then." Kita said.
The teams split up.
Kazumi crouched down and analyzed Dickard's wounds.
"His head is bleeding. It appears something smashed his head in. Also cuts on his face that were made by something sharp. And his ponytail is missing." Kazumi said.
It cuts to Kita who checked out Chuo's corpse.
"The pool stick stuck in his chest was enough to kill him, there are no other visible injuries on his body." Kita said, before moving away from him.
Manuel walked up to Chuo and crouched down, sighing as he looked at Chuo's body.
Sidra then looked at the top of the locker.
"...The trophy used to be there." Sidra said.
Fujiko was looking at the broken red bottle.
"...I can't believe I missed this." Fujiko muttered to herself.
Amenhotep looked at the bloody shards.
"...They look very bloody." Amenhotep said.
"I guess the killer...or Chuo used the bottle to hit Dickard. Wether in the head or in the face, it's up for debate." Sidra said.
"Chuo didn't seem like he'd be able to actually hurt anyone, so it was probably the killer." Fujiko said.
"Chuo has been acting weird, the past few days." Kita said.
Sidra looked around and picked up Dickard's broken glasses.
"I guess they got broken during...whatever happened. This is all the evidence we could find in here. We should probably check out Chuo's room for any clues." Sidra said.
"But we need his key to enter his room." Amenhotep said.
"I got the key from his pocket. Let's go." Manuel said, as he left the rec room, followed up by everyone else.
Kita looked at Manuel, a bit suspicious before she followed aswell.
Back in the physics lab.
"What could of smashed Dickard's head in?" Yaruda asked.
"...I was looking for Dickard in the theatre...and I found...a bloody looking trophy. The same one in the rec room." Nicole shuddered.
Kazumi looked at Nicole.
"Bring it here." Kazumi said.
"I-I ain't touching that thing. Follow me." Nicole said, as she walked out of the physics lab and into the theatre.
In there, she pointed at the trophy.
"There." Nicole said.
Kazumi looked at the bloody trophy and picked it up with his hand pretty easily despite how heavy it seemed
They both went back to the physics lab as Kazumi held the trophy above Dickard's head, looking at the trophy and then the head. He noticed that the top of the trophy was slightly dented.
"...The killer used this to hit Dickard's head and then dumped it into the theatre, as a desperate attempt to get rid of the evidence." Kazumi said.
"The only person who could do that is Huang." Yaruda said.
"But we found Huang unconscious when we got here. Not to mention, we heard him screaming. Also, what about the cuts on his face, and where did his ponytail go to?" Nicole asked.
"Indeed." Kazumi said, before he noticed something.
He turned Dickard's body around so he could see his chest.
There appeared to be a burn mark on Dickard's chest.
Kazumi looked at it.
"...There is a burn mark on his chest." Kazumi said.
"Dickard never had that scar before." Yaruda said.
"Where did the scar come from?" Nicole asked.
"...It looks recent. It wasn't made by fire or a knife. It's possible a device was used on Dickard." Kazumi said.
"Huang's taser." Yaruda said.
"So, what killed Dickard? The trophy or the taser?" Nicole asked.
Kazumi got up.
"We'll have to talk to Huang to hear his story and check out his room." Kazumi said.
"I'll go with you. I'll try to get Huang's key." Nicole said, as she went to the infirmary, followed up by Kazumi.
Yaruda stood there, looking at Dickard.
.. Meanwhile, in Chuo's Room.
It looked like a bar, with several drinks lined up on a wall on the side, with several photographs all lined on up on the other side.
The bed was neatly made, and there was a single red book on the bed.
"Each bedroom looked so different...but this doesn't even look like a bedroom." Fujiko said.
"I wonder where all of his motives are at." Kita said.
Sidra looked at the photographs, including some that featured Chuo with some blonde guy with grey eyes.
Amenhotep picked up the red book and opened it up
Manuel was mostly looking around the room.
The Red book appeared to be a diary. Two separate sheets of paper fell out of it when Amenhotep opened it.
as for the pages that Amenhotep had opened up, they read .
Alistair may have been a murderer, but he didn't deserve that fate. I'm not saying that Yoku deserved to be killed either, but I can't really blame him.
I want to go home, I just, I know that I can't kill anyone, and no matter what, I refuse to end anyone's life. But, the sooner we get out of here, the better.
--
We all looked around the second floor today, we found a dance room, a game room, a library and more. Minami was pretty excited about the art room opening up, while Dimitri and Fujiko left earlier than everyone else. I'm not quite sure what they're up to but I don't think it's anything good.
The Two sheets of paper that fell out were both of the motives Chuo had received, a letter from a guy named Leonidas, and the File on Manuel Kraven.
Amenhotep picked them up.
"These two fell from his diary. A letter from 'Leonidas' and the file on Manuel." Amenhotep said.
"Ah, Chuo did receive the back during the wheel of Fate, din't he?" Manuel asked.
"Guess Leonidas is the guy from Chuo's photo's." Sidra said.
Kita grabbed the file on Manuel and read it.
"Why did you do that?" Fujiko asked.
"After he received this file, he started avoiding Manuel. I want to know why." Kita said, reading the file.
Manuel Kraven Age:62 years old Birthday:25th December Likes:Crows, peace, weaponry, opera's, poetry, puzzles, tea Dislikes:Poverty, ignorants, Hallend, Unigard, loud music. Hobby:Chess Note:As a boy, Manuel Kraven lived in a small village and witnessed many things that a child shouldn't see. His parents died earlier and moved out of his village and into the big city that Hallend was in charge of. Manuel had a different view of how things should run and met up with Callus. The two of them joined forces and used their intellect to form the New Rebellion, in attempt to overthrow Hallend and put a new order in the system. The Rebellion was defeated by the Spartan Five, now known as the Unigard along with a friend of their's called Ultima. Manuel Kraven disappeared off the face of the eart and was believed to be dead ever since
Manuel looked at the file.
"Any normal person wouldn't be comfortable being around former rebellion leaders who caused quite a lot of grief in another universe. It's reasonable Chuo would of been a bit nervous." Manuel said.
Kita just looked at Manuel before putting the file back down, still not convinced.
Amenhotep just read the letter from Leonidas.
"Where the fuck are you man!? I'm in serious shit right now and I need you here, but you're nowhere to be found!
Weren't we friends this entire time? my family helped you when you were alone! All I ask is for one little favour that you said you'd help me with! so why aren't you here?
you better get back here and keep helping me out or else I'm as good as dead, man!
Leonidas
"...This must be the magician Chuo told me about. He is not very nice." Amenhotep frowned.
"...Chuo deserved better company." Fujiko said, looking at the letter.
"Besides the file, journal and the letter, there is not much else in this room. Let's go." Sidra said.
Sidra walked out, followed up by everyone else.
It cuts to the infirmary
Huang was now awake, though he appeared to be zoned out.
"Huang...are you alright? Talk to me." Minami said, who was sitting next to him.
Nicole and Kazumi walked in.
"We need to talk." Kazumi told Huang.
Huang wasn't responding
Nicole pinched him in the cheek which seemed to get his attention.
"What do you want?" Huang asked.
"Both Chuo and Dickard are dead. And right now, you are the prime suspect." Nicole said.
"...Of course I am." Huang sighed, in a rather depressed tone.
"Tell us your side of the story." Kazumi said.
Huang was a bit quiet for a few seconds.
"...I was in this floor, looking around for clues to an exit like usual. I then heard footsteps behind me but before I could turn, someone struck me on the back of my head, yelled in pain, then collapsed. Next thing I knew, I turned up in this place." Huang said.
"...I'm not sure if I can believe this." Nicole said, raising an eyebrow.
"I have a mark on the back of my head." Huang said, pointing at it.
Minami then poked the wound, causing Huang to yelp.
"What was that for!?" Huang asked.
"I was just checking to see if it was actually a wound." Minami smiled.
"...This is a pain. If that's true, then the only person who attacked Huang would be Dickard." Nicole said.
"Why would you think that?" Minami asked.
"Because Dickard and Huang weren't there for dinner." Nicole said.
"We want the key to your room." Kazumi said.
"...Why?" Huang asked.
"We want to investigate to see if you left any evidence in your room. Like say, Dickard's missing ponytail." Kazumi said.
Huang looked at them and sighed, tossing the key to Kazumi.
"You two better not touch or break any of my stuff of mine or plant any false evidence in my room." Huang said.
"Why would we do that? If we get this wrong, we would both die." Nicole said, before she walked out of the infirmary.
In Huang's room...
Huang's looked like a bedroom, though it looked extremely clean.
There were books on a shelf put in alphabetic order.
there was a photo album on the couch with the loved one letter and the file he got on Minami, both laying on the photo album.
Nicole looked at the love one letter and the file on Minami.
She picked up the loved one letter while Kazumi picked up the Minami file.
"Hi, daddy.
Mr.Reginald came to our new house and told us that they haven't made any progress on finding you yet. Mommy however doesn't want to hear about anything else related to you ever since we moved out of the house. I'm writing the letter in secret because she could get mad if she knew I was writing this to you. I know you are okay wherever you are. If you receive this letter and read it, please promise to yourself that you won't try to hurt anyone that you are with. I know how easily mad you can get but deep down, you wouldn't bring yourself to hurt or even kill someone no matter what. I want to see you again, daddy. Please come back."

"Seems like Huang had a family. Then shit went down and he and his wife split up." Nicole said.
Kazumi said nothing as he puts the file back to where it was.
"...There likely wasn't anything else in here." Nicole said.
Meanwhile, Kita was scrounging around in the rec room- looking under tables and all that, trying to find something, anything.
Kita felt something when she looked under the shelf where the bottles were placed.
She found a little tiny knife, that had some hair strands on it.
Yellow hair strands.
Kita picked up the knife and showed it to Amenhotep.
"Look at this." Kita said.
"...I guess the yellow strands belong to Dickard." Amenhotep guessed.
"The hair strands were from his ponytail. But it's not the entire thing. I wonder where the knife came from. Fujiko got rid of them all." Sidra said.
"It's a possibility someone got the knife from the warehouse long before Fujiko started getting rid of all the sharp objects." Manuel said.
Fujiko looked annoyed, taking the knife and inspecting it to see if there was anything unique about it.
It was a pretty tiny knife and there was no blood on it or anything else besides the hair strands.
Meaning it was mostly used to cut the ponytail.
"...Guess this is basically everything else in the room." Sidra said.
"Should we even investigate Dickard's room?" Amenhotep asked.
"I doubt there would be anything important in Dickard's place. And I would rather not vomit all over the place." Kita said.
"Probably. But we can't know sure. I guess I'll check it out for myself." Sidra said.
"His room key should still be on his body." Fujiko guessed.
Sidra nodded before he walked out of the rec room and went into the physics lab.
Yaruda was still there as he looked at Sidra.
"Well?" Yaruda asked.
"We found some clues, but nothing to indicate who killed both him and Dickard. I need Dickard's key to check his room, to find anything else." Sidra said.
Yaruda simply nodded.
Sidra checked Dickard's pockets and found his key.
He went to the doorms and unlocked Dickard's room, entering inside.
It's basically what you would expect.
Dickard's had a lot stuff laying on the floor, it looked like a mess.
There were posters of girls in bikini's on the wall, a race car that looked like a bed.
A pizza box that was placed on the table alongside the loved one letter and the file on Nicole.
"...Good thing Kita and Fujiko aren't here to see this." Sidra said.
Sidra ignored Nicole's file and picked up Dickard's letter instead.
"Dick, I don't care in what terrorist cell, pararell universe or tropical island you got stranded on, I don't pay you to not show up at work! Either you get off your ass and stop slacking off or I will find you, I will have you hang yourself with your own two hands, then I will clone you from your remains just to kill you again and then I will do it again and again till I get bored, Capeesh? "
-Your pissed off boss
"...No wonder Dickard didn't want to go back to his Universe. Well, atleast he won't have to put up with his boss anymore." Sidra sighed.
He puts the letter on the table and returned back to the others.
"Well, haven't found any new clues." Sidra said.
"What other places might be worth looking in?" Fujiko asked.
"I want to know why anyone would bother cutting His ponytail off. it seems outright pointless." Kita said.
"All we can do is continue looking into more areas for clues or-"
At that moment, F intervened.
"Well, I'm bored. So, did you guys get everything you needed? Cool, let's meet up at the trial and see if you can catch the killers!" F said
F turned off the monitor
"Already? But we haven't found the rest of Dickard's hair yet." Amenhotep said, looking surprised.
Kita, decided to check Chuo to see if she could find anything on his person.
There wasn't anything else on Chuo.
Kita sighed as they and everyone else made it to the trial grounds
Sidra and Nicole were looking at Huang who appeared to be looking at the ceiling.
"...Let's end this." Huang said as he walked into the elevator first.
"We only just missed this."Fujiko said. "..This murder happened.. because someone here..."
She went into the elevator, so angry she was shaking.
Everyone else entered as well.
"This elevator's getting emptier and emptier.."Minami commented.
"Of course it is, you fuckwits keep killing each other."Nicole said.
“I never wanted anyone else to die in the first place.” Amenhotep said
"After this last one. I swear that no one else will."Fujiko said, rage emanating from her voice.
They arrived at the trial grounds, which now changed into a magic stage show, with red curtains covering the walls and money dollar signs on the curtains.
Of course, there were the pictures of Chuo and Dickard there, with X’s on them.
“Well, let’s see if you guys can figure this shit out and live to fight another day and eat breakfast for free! Let the match of wits begin!” F said

F: The Killing Game Chapter 3: Two Birds, One Killer Trial Life
And here they are, the third trial.
With two dead people this time instead of one. With one or two possible killers.
"Alright, let the debate begin!" F said.
"We should first start with what was used to kill both Chuo and Dickard, to make a connection between the two." Sidra said.
"Obviously, what killed Chuo was that pool stick! and what killed Dickard must have been that trophy!" Nicole said
"Dickard had other wounds besides the head wounds. The cuts on his face and the mark on his chest. A mark that could of only been made by a taser. And Huang had a taser." Amenhotep said
"Judging by the broken bottle shards with blood on them, the bottle was used to smash Dickard's face in, explaining the cuts." Sidra said.
"If the mark came from a taser...why would a trophy and a bottle be necessary? A taser with high voltage alone could be enough to kill someone." Manuel said.
"The taser might not have had high enough voltage to kill anyone. There is the possibility that Chuo and Dickard killed each other." Minami said.
"Chuo would never claim someone's life. He even wrote so in his diary. Injure Dickard, probably, but not kill." Fujiko said.
"If they actually killed each other, how did the trophy end up in the theatre room behind the curtain and how did Dickard end up in the physics lab? Dickard was somehow still alive when we found him in the lab and tried to crawl but I doubt he would of had the strength to crawl all the way to the lab without bleeding out all over the floor." Kazumi said.
"Huang has been awfully quiet during this." Yaruda said.
Huang was constantly staring at the floor.
Sidra looked at Huang.
"Huang, tell us what happened." Sidra said.
"...I can't remember. I was on the third floor, then someone came up and hit me in the head, knocking me on the ground. I have the bruise to prove it." Huang said.
"You could of gotten that scar from a fight obviously. You either fought Dickard or even Chuo on the third floor and killed either one of them. Or both." Nicole said.
"What motive would I even have to do that? Dickard was an ass, sure, but he would of been a obvious target. Not to mention, me and Chuo barely interacted with each other." Huang
"If it wasn't you, then who could be it? Maybe you attacked Dickard, then Chuo walked in so then you panicked and killed Chuo to dispose of a witness, then Dickard, still alive, ran for it, so you went out chased after Dickard, fatally wounding him but not before Dickard knocked you unconscious. And as for why you attacked Dickard, Besides myself and Kazumi, Dickard was the only person who wasn't at dinner." Yaruda said.
"Fine sure, but what about Dickard's ponytail? Do you have any evidence about who took it and what was used to cut it?" Huang asked.
"We found found a small knife that had Dickard's hand strands on it. Fujiko disposed of all the knives and closed off the warehouse. However, long when this started, I remember that you and Fujiko went to the warehouse to do a checking of all the weapons. That's when you grabbed your taser and could of gotten yourself the knife too for extra protection." Sidra said
"There were other people who went to the warehouse too: Kerigo, Kazumi and Manuel. Kerigo is dead so that doesn't count, but Kazumi and Manuel were there with Fujiko when they first investigated the place. Who's to say they din't grab the knife or any other object to themselves? After the second trial, Kazumi constantly remained on the second floor, which was close to the floor on which Chuo and Dickard died on. Hell, he had the strength to lift the trophy that was used on Dickard." Huang said.
"I was always standing close to Yaruda at that time. I din't move from my spot. Plus, I don't have any motive to kill the two." Kazumi said.
"Manuel could've had a motive for wanting Chuo dead." Kita said.
"But Manuel was down having dinner with everyone else." Fujiko said.
THIS CRIME DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! Why would someone even bother cutting off Dickard's Ponytail!? Nicole asked.
"We couldn't find the ponytail anywhere. Where else would it be?" Amenhotep asked.
"Obviously, the ponytail could be in one place. It's here." Manuel said.
"HERE WHERE!?" Nicole asked
"Everything is pointing to really one suspect: Huang. To start off, he and Dickard fought on the third floor, Huang possibly killed Dickard, Chuo came in and then Huang killed him aswell with the pool cue. Then, he took Dickard's ponytail and hid the trophy in the theatre." Sidra said.
Sidra then turned to Huang.
"Now, is that what actually happened? And tell us the actual answer." Sidra said.
Huang just kept staring at the floor...before he suddenly started...to...chuckle?
Fujiko, turning to face the bald man next to her, with widened eyes, gasped.
"Huang.. you didn't..." Fujiko said.
"...Hmmmm...heheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Huang exploded with laughter
His voice echoed through the entire area.
"...H-Huang...are you alright?" Amenhotep asked.
Huang stopped laughing.
"Alright? I'm better than alright! I never felt so good in my entire life!" Huang said.
"..So, you did.."Fujiko said.
"I did something that none of you would of been able to do: do society a huge favor by getting rid of that sociopathic, disgusting, sexist, piece of shit off the face of the Earth! " Huang said.
"...Why?...Why did you do it? Did you actually consider F's motive with the gold? " Amenhotep asked, in disbelief.
Huang spat on the floor.
"That isn't it, I had a more original motive: I simply wanted that asshole dead! Every morning, every night, I had to be a witness to his dickish acts and watch as he kept flirting with girls that din't even like him to begin with! I did all of you a favor by killing Dickard." Huang said.
"...Then...what about Chuo? What did he do to deserve this!?" Fujiko asked, looking furious and on the verge of tears.
"Oh, him? Chuo saw me murdering Dickard and so, I had to kill Chuo so he wouldn't tell everyone else." Huang smiled.
Fujiko looked pissed off upon hearing that.
Despite how horrified everyone else looked, Sidra and Minami remained perfectly calm.
For some reason, Sidra felt like Huang wasn't telling the whole truth.
"...I don't believe you." Sidra said.
"You want proof? Here is proof!" Huang said.
He pulled Dickard's ponytail out of his pocket and threw it on his podium.
"I ripped Dickard's ponytail and kept it to myself as a trophy, to always remind myself that I was the one who killed that asswipe. " Huang said.
"And you guys called me fucked up." F said
"...You do realize that everyone is going to vote for him and execute him now, right?" Nicole asked.
"Hm, maybe, but honestly, seeing Huang on insane mode is pretty entertaining sooo, let me see more of him being crazy before you vote, okay?" F asked
"...Ha, I'm gonna get executed, so what? Honestly, death is more of a mercy right than staying in this hellhole. After looking through every floor, there is no hope. Wake up, people! There is no exit! The only way we could get out of here is if only one is left alive! In a way, I should thank Alistair and Kerigo, they showed me the way to get out of this place for good...haha...so, I guess this is what despair feels like, huh? The same despair that consumed Hastur...yeah...now I know how he felt...I guess you guys know what to do next, right? Go ahead, vote." Huang said.
Everyone looked at each other and they nodded.
As they were about to vote.
"HOLD IT!" Sidra yelled out
Everyone turned to Sidra
"The trial's not over yet." Sidra said.
"Huang confessed to his crimes. He even had Dickard's ponytail. The trial is over." Kazumi said.
"Yeah, what gives, Sidra? Do you want to prolong the trial just to show off more of your Sherlock deductions? Or do you pity me?" Huang asked.
"'Those who are truly smart get to live more longer'. That's what you said to us once. It's hard to believe that someone as smart as you and the one who wouldn't give up on finding a way out would perform such a obvious crime. The only reason you would take the fall is if you had an ulterior motive." Sidra said.
"And what ulterior motive would that be?"Nicole asked. "This Pubeless Fucko is the killer, plain and simple."
"Huang may get angry all the time, but he doesn't seem to be the type to commit a murder because of a grudge. That and there is something holding him back." Sidra said.
"And what is holding me back? My job back in Universe 4 that I most likely lost at this point? You idiots? Doubtful. An escape route? Yeah right." Huang scoffed.
"Your daughter." Sidra said.
He looked at Nicole.
"Give me the letter you found in his room." Sidra said.
Nicole, confused, gave him the letter before he showed the loved one letter to Huang.
"Ah!..T...Tifanny..." Huang said.
"So It wasn't Huang? Then why did he just say he did it?" Yaruda asked. "And.. all of the evidence that's clearly pointing to him, does that just all become moot because he had a letter from his daughter?"
"From what his daughter wrote, it's clear she loved him very much and if Huang really loved his daughter, he wouldn't break the promise despite the situation he was in. Isn't that right, Huang?" Sidra asked.
Huang, not looking as insane as he was before, looked at the ground.
"...Tch...guess...there is no point hiding this from you, huh?...Alright...I lied...about killing Dickard and Chuo." Huang said.
"Then who was it!?" Nicole asked.
"...The killers...were also the victims...it was Dickard...and Chuo...they both...killed each other." Huang said, who looked ready to burst into tears.
"...What?" Fujiko asked, looking shocked.
'...They...simply killed each other and you just watched!?" Amenhotep asked.
"...It's...complicated than that." Huang sighed
"And you lied about it!?"Nicole asked, "Retard, you would've killed us all!"
"Huh, I was correct the first time."Minami commented.
"I indirectly killed them both! I was Dickard's target on the third floor! If Chuo din't step in...I would of died there...in a way, I killed them both by being on the third floor...their blood were on my hands." Huang said.
"...Huang...just...tell us. Tell us what happened from start to finish." Fujiko said.
Huang sighed,
"...I wasn't at dinner, I was on the third floor to look for an escape as usual. I was in the rec room and Dickard came in...and he...acted very weird...it's like he wasn't himself...and tried to kill me...and Chuo came in...and saved me." Huang said.
A flashback of what actually happened in the rec room occurred as Dickard cornered Huang.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Kent!?" Huang asked.
"Sorry, Huang. But, gotta get that gold, you know? And right now...you are the perfect guy to get rid of." Dickard smiled.
"Y-you will die if you do this, you know that right!?" Huang asked.
"Not if no one will ever find any traces of your body." Dickard said.
Huang then pulled out his taser and shocked Dickard in the chest.
That din't appear enough to knock him out as Dickard grabbed Huang and pulled him against the wall.
At that moment, Chuo walked in and his eyes widened. At first, he wanted to flee but at the same time, Huang's life was in danger.
Chuo then looked at the shelf and spotted the bottles on the shelf.
Without thinking, Chuo grabbed one of the bottles and smacked Dickard in the head with it.
Chuo missed the head and smashed Dickard's face in, getting the shards on his face.
Dickard's glasses dropped and Dickard stepped on them.
Huang grabbed the tiny knife he had and tried to stab Dickard but Dickard punched him, knocking him into the wall and Huang hits his head against the wall, leaving the mark on his head.
Chuo tried to tackle him but Dickard knocked him away before he grabbed the pool stick and stabbed Chuo in the chest.
Chuo gasped as he hits his back against the locker.
The trophy on the locker began shaking a bit before it fell off the locket and right into Chuo's hands.
Chuo, despite still having the pool stick stuck in his chest and bleeding out, he used what strength he had left to bash Dickard in the head with the trophy.
Dickard was knocked on the ground and stopped moving as his head began bleeding immensely.
Huang stood there, looking horrified as he saw Dickard before he turned to Chuo and his eyes widened.
Before Chuo could hit the floor, Huang grabbed him.
"C-Chuo!" Huang said.
Chuo didn't acknowledge Huang, his eyes glancing at the door to the room and then to Dickard.
"..S..Shoulda just...stayed..." He managed to get out, muttering to himself.
"...He...he would of killed me...he was actually gonna kill me...but...you saved me...shit, I shouldn't been in this room!" Huang said, looking furious. Not with Chuo, but with himself.
"...
I didn't even.. get to..."
Chuo stopped talking, and stopped breathing.
"At that moment, after Chuo died...that's when I realized that there was no hope...and there was no way out...I actually wanted to die right there. If I simply stayed with the rest...Chuo wouldn't of died. I got him killed. I wanted to be punished." Huang said
Tears were leaking out of Huang's eyes before he placed Chuo on the ground and looked at Dickard's corpse.
He picked up the tiny knife and cut his ponytail before he placed in his pocket.
Then he picked up Dickard's corpse, walked into the physics lab and dumped it there
He went back into the room, picked up the trophy, went into the theatre and dumped it behind the curtain
"After setting up all the evidence that would point to me as the killer, I let out a scream to get everyone's attention and pretended to pass out. And the rest...well, here we are." Huang said
The flashback ended and Huang was looking at his own podium, with guilt in his eyes.
"And that is how everything turned out...and how I indirectly ended both of their lives..." Huang said.
Kazumi, after listening to this, seemed to be making a few conclusions in his head.
"...That can't be it."Nicole gasped, "..There's got to be more to it than just this... Is there any evidence we haven't used..? Anything that doesn't seem right..?"
"Dickard wasn't dead yet, was he?"Fujiko asked- ultimately only doing so because of Nicole's prompting. "He still had a bit of life left in him before he died right in front of Yaruda and Kazumi."
"That doesn't change anything though."Kita frowned, crossing her arms.
"Even if he has still had some life in him, he was bleeding out from his head injury. It was impossible for him to survive. While Huang may or may of not ended their lives by being there, Dickard and Chuo killed each other regardless of how it happened. Isn't that right, F?" Manuel asked.
"Don't ask me." F said. "This is you guyses trial, not mine. Just vote when you're ready."
"We vote twice this time, don't we."Fujiko said. "Once for Chuo's Killer, and again for Dickard's."
"I don't think we need my summary this time."Yaruda said. "That flashback earlier basically did it for me."
"We never needed your manga's to begin with."Nicole grimaced.
"...Well, that was unnecessary." Yaruda frowned.
And so everyone voted.
And the chosen guilty ones were...Chuo Omesata and Dickard Kent
"Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have two winners! Chuo Omesata from Universe 3 and Dickard Kent from Universe 7! Now it's exe-...wait, I just realized. If those two killed each other...who am I gonna execute?" F asked.
"...No one?" Amenhotep asked
"But I just bought this awesome thing and I wanted to test it out! Someone or SOMETHING will get executed goddamnit!" F said
"Noone's being executed, F."Fujiko said. "The Trial is over, and we found the guilty parties."
"Oh, no, missy! Something is gonna get executed, starting right now!" F said.
The monitor then switched from F to...Chuo's room.
At that moment, a crane, piloted by F, bursted through the wall.
F pulled a lever and the wrecking ball, attached to the crane, started smashing the entire bar, destroying Chuo's pictures and any belongings that he had, leaving nothing but rubble.
Once they were finished, F drove the crane out of the room through the hole they made.
Then the crane bursted in Dickard's room and started tearing it up like it did with Chuo's room.
As a result, both rooms were now completely decimated.
The monitor switched back to F.
"There, I executed two cool looking rooms that costed me a lot of money. Are you happy, party wrecker? By the way, if you guys are interested, you can find Chuo's ventriloquist puppet that he used to have when he was with his pal Leonidas and Dickard's porn stash in my shop. Thanks for ruining my fun, dorks." F said
F left.
Huang, however, still din't look happy.
"Let's just go."Fujiko said, leaving.
Everyone began walking out of the trial ground, however Huang was still standing there
Sidra looked at Huang.
"...Chuo gave up his life when he really, he could of let you there to die. Don't make his death meaningless." Sidra said, before he left.
"...I guess I still have to hang around with you guys in this hellhole for awhile, huh?" Huang asked, before he left.
It cuts to the dinner hall.
"...Its' kind of odd."Yaruda said. "Without Dickard here to be a complete asshole about everything, it actually feels nicer."
"The fact that no one got executed this time probably helps."Fujiko commented.
Huang was there, but still looked a bit depressed.
Kazumi wasn't paying to the conversation. He seemed to be deeply thinking
Amenhotep, cleared his throat.
"...I want to say something, if I may." Amenhotep said.
"What is it?" Sidra asked.
"...Before the murder, when me and Chuo talked to each other...I...adviced him that if Huang or someone else tried to kill, he should prevent someone from being murdered even if it meant a certain death...Maybe if I din't tell him that, Chuo wouldn't be..." Amenhotep said.
"Maybe he wouldn't."Nicole said. "But then Huang would be instead, wouldn't he?"
"...I guess so...Or, maybe, we should of kept a closer eye on Dickard." Amenhotep said.
Fujiko looked at Kazumi.
"You seem to be deep in thought about something." Fujiko said.
".. Dickard's actions...just do not make any sense to me." Kazumi said.
"Chuo's actions don't line up with what I knew about him either." Kita said.
"That doesn't entirely matter now, does it? what matters is both of them are gone." Fujiko said.
"Possibly. But, Dickard was one of the few who agreed with the idea of staying here. I doubt that gold would of been a enough motive to get out of here. The way Huang described Dickard seemed out of character. Not to mention, when we found Dickard on the floor, he looked confused, as if he just woke up. His last words din't help either." Kazumi said.
"I guess with him being near death, his brain was already shutting down and he couldn't access his short-term memory?" Nicole guessed.
"...I suppose." Kazum said, though he din't look convinced.
"So, are you gonna get rid of all the items from floor 3 aswell as from the next floor that we'll explore tomorrow?" Manuel asked.
"Obviously."Fujiko said.
"How are you going to dispose of them?" Manuel asked.
"It would be better if only a few people knew as possible." Fujiko said.
"It makes sense. That way no one would know where to pick em from." Sidra said.
"Hey, so, can I get my art stuff back to finish what I was doing, pretty please?" Minami asked.
Fujiko's stare at Minami basically gave her the answer
"I'd also prefer if you didn't finish whatever you are working on." Kazumi said.
"Why is that?" Minami asked.
"So then you or anyone else wouldn't use what your talent does to kill someone." Kazumi said.
"Does this have something to do with what you found in her file in Huang's room?" Nicole asked.
Kazumi simply gave her a short nod.
Minami looked scared for a small moment, gripping onto her raincoat sleeve as she tensed up. She then relaxed a bit.
"...I...know what you are thinking about what I'm actually doing, but I can assure you that I'm not planning that at all. You could take a look for yourself if you want to." Minami said.
"What does that mean?" Nicole asked.
"Kazumi clearly knows. So there is no point hiding it. Just follow me." Minami sighed as she left the room and went upstairs.
"...What does this all mean?" Fujiko asked Kazumi.
"Her art is her power. A very deadly power." Kazumi said before everyone walked out to see what Minami wanted to show them.
In the Art room..
was 3, visibly unfinished sculptures.
1 of which was coloured in, but the others were merely impressions and shapes.
They were portraying Alistair, Yoku, and Dimitri respectively.
"...What the hell is this?" Huang asked, visibly confused.
"So, how much do you already know?" Minami asked Kazumi.
"I know that if you draw a image of a person, whatever happens to that image will also happen to that person, and the opposite is also true. " Kazumi said.
"So you basically know everything then." Minami said.
"Going back to my first question. What is this?" Huang asked, referring to the sculptures.
"...I hoped I could use my power to revive the people that had been killed in this stupid game." Minami sighed.
"...Your power?" Yaruda asked.
"...These sculptures remind me of the ones that the people from my Universe would make with their magic ." Amenhotep said, fiddling with his beard.
Manuel walked up to the Yoku model, putting his hand on the sculpture's chin.
"The model's look very realistic to the point where it's quite disturbing." Manuel said.
"This is why this was taking so long, I have to be 100% accurate or else they wouldn't work." Minami said.
"How would you be able to revive them when their bodies had been destroyed, like Alistair's?" Sidra asked.
"The sculptures will be their new bodies. Of course, I din't bother making one for Kerigo cause, you know." Minami said, looking at Fujiko.
"This was disturbing, but..well-intentioned, at the least. But I can't take the chance, even if you aren't going to use those tools for murder, someone could easily come in here and take them for that exact purpose." Fujiko said.
"F might also have a few issues if they get revived. Once someone is executed, they would stay executed." Amenhotep said.
Minami, looking annoyed, simply sighed in response.
"...It was worth a try." Minami said.
"What are we gonna do about these freaky Voodoo statues then?" Huang asked.
"We should just leave them as they are, the people these are based on are already dead, so I doubt these statues could put us in any more danger." Fujiko said.
Manuel yawned.
"It's been quite a crazy day so I will go to my room to take a nap. Good night." Manuel said.
Everyone else left aswell.
Minami visibly frowned but Kita puts her hand on her shoulder.
It cuts to the sleeping quarters where Sidra was looking at both Chuo and Dickard's doors, which were smashed to pieces and blocked off by the rubble.
"Everyone who was on guard duty last night should sleep, me and 2 others could be on watch tonight. Amenhotep and Nicole are gonna assist me with the watch." Fujiko said.
"...It's weird, but, maybe Dickard actually had a point, about just staying here. All Trying to leave seems to give everyone is heartbreak." Nicole said.
Huang just ignored that as he went to his bedroom.
"Even so, why did he even try to kill when he wanted to stay here?" Sidra asked.
"...Maybe Dickard's greed got the best of him, probably." Nicole shrugged.
"Honestly, I doubt that was the case." Kita said, as she went into her room.
Sidra then went into his bedroom while Fujiko, Nicole and Amenhotep remained behind.
In Sidra's room, he was looking at the wall.
"...Humans are a lot more complex than my Universe gave them credit for." Sidra said.
He then got on his bed and attempted to sleep.
Meanwhile, it cuts to Manuel's bedroom which looked more like a cabin.
Manuel was standing in front of the fireplace and it was lit.
He had...a rather smug look on his face as he held the file that contained his info. It looked the same as the one in Chuo's room, except there was a difference in the Note part:
Manuel Kraven Age:62 years old Birthday:25th December Likes:Crows, peace, weaponry, opera's, poetry, puzzles, tea Dislikes:Poverty, ignorants, Hallend, Unigard, loud music. Hobby:Chess Note:As a boy, Manuel Kraven lived in a small village and witnessed many things that a child shouldn't see. However, he was born with a power that only a few people would have, the power of mentality. While not nearly as strong as the Omnipotent who has the same element from Universe 9, Manuel could be able to control a person's way of thinking, downright brainwash them into robots or subconsciously manipulate their minds into focusing on one of their desires to the point where they don't focus on anyone and even themselves except their goal. His parents died earlier and moved out of his village and into the big city that Hallend was in charge of. Manuel had a different view of how things should run and met up with Callus. The two of them joined forces and used their intellect, aswell as Manuel's ability to form the New Rebellion, in attempt to overthrow Hallend and put a new order in the system. The Rebellion was defeated by the Spartan Five, now known as the Unigard along with a friend of their's called Ultima. Manuel Kraven disappeared off the face of the eart and was believed to be dead ever since
This was the actual file that Chuo had on Manuel.
A flashback occurred.
After Huang's rant and Manuel deciding to go back into his room to write a story, he was actually writing the false file in Chuo's room that did not mention the part about mental powers.
When F showed the motive and Dickard's eyes were shining at the gold, Manuel's eyes were shining the same way Dickard's eyes were but no one noticed...except Chuo who looked at Manuel and Dickard and after everyone left, Chuo looked only at Manuel.
When he decided to check on Chuo's body, Manuel crouched down and grabbed the room key from his pocket and after declaring to investigate his room, he was the first one to leave and went to his room quite quickly.
Manuel got first into the room before anyone else, looked around and spotted Chuo's diary. He opened the diary and found the real file aswell as Leonidas's letter. Manuel pulled out the fake file, grabbed the real file and puts the fake one in it's place before closing the diary, leaving it where it was as Manuel puts the real file in his coat's pocket and everyone else walked in.
Manuel looked at the fireplace before looking at the file.
"...Forgive me, Chuo and Dickard. But there is a future that needs to be fulfilled...and I can't do that while I'm still here. And this file would jeapordize my mission." Manuel said.
Manuel tossed the file into the fire and watched as it was slowly burning.
Now with the fake file in place and the real one destroyed, no one will know what actually made Dickard do what he did.
End of Trial Life and Chapter 3: Two Birds, One Killer
There is a fact that can't be denied The World is coloured in Black and White Maintained by two key elements:Good and Evil The Yin and Yang make the world go round Without each other, chaos will commence and order will be broken You can't have one without the other, after all Atleast that's what they think But it couldn't be further from the truth Balance is a fairy tale, made up so you can feel better about what you do To justify your destructive behavior Since I am your enemy, because I fight for the wrong side. I suppose that makes me the villain in this little story of your's When you yourself, are just as worst as me.
Let me tell you the truth about this world Things aren't as black and white as you might think The Monsters aren't the ones you need to fear It's the people you need to stay away from Monsters don't know the difference between good and evil But people clearly do That's what makes them so dangerous.
The good guys are the villains and the bad guys are the good guys The police are corrupt and the criminals are saints Preachers kill and killers preach Teachers lie and liars teach Dictators are saviors and heroes destroy Order is unstable and Chaos rules The King is the Buffoon and the Jester is the ruler Everything is backwards Then again, this is no surprise That's Life for you, and you need to get used to it.
I dedicated my life to my own work Put friendship and love aside, so I can make a difference in this miserable pit Became a slave of my own ambition, Shackled by the responsabilities as a human being, husband and father Every day is the same episode, I work, I argue, I write, I stay late, with no time to make for my family I go back home, too tired to walk and my daughter grabs my leg, Asking me if we can go to the park tomorrow, And I can only tell her 'Maybe next week, honey' I sit there and listen to my beloved wife's ranting but I'm too tired to argue The next thing you know, I sign the divorce papers and watch as my life crumbles around me. My wife walks out the door with her baggage and my daughter is crying Once the crying stopped, there was only silence That's when I realized that I lost everything
Next week, I'm in my friend's house Sitting on the couch, holding a bottle of beer Staring at my own reflection on the TV screen I kept asking myself if there was even a point continuing this Without my family, what else was there left to do? Why shouldn't I just end my own misery now? At that moment, I looked at my phone and I got a message. 'I have an offer for you, one that you can't refuse.'
From that Day, I signed the Devil's contract and sold my soul It seemed like a nice deal Just grab some guys and have them collect mystical artefacts in secret Sell them to the right people and work my way to the top of this organization With nothing to lose, I accepted the position and began my new work Once the secretary got involved, I began hiring various people In just one week, I made more money than anyone else on Earth I tasted power and I was tainted I stopped caring about morality and accepted greed with open arms With nothing to lose.
The members of the sinful group have their own agendas Each wearing masks, hiding their true selves from the world, including each other They pretend to like me, but it's so evident that they hate me They think I can't see through their lies and deception Their intentions are so obvious Devils disguised as Angels, waiting for the right moment to betray each other for their own purposes All while Lucifer is watching us, like it was a entertaining puppet show, and we were the puppets With my only role to entertain the great deceiver till he dies of laughter
Just when you think was going well One of us screwed up And we had to pay the price for his dumb mistakes Our existence was exposed and now they were after us Heroes who want to destroy us and avenge the ones that we hurt Most would rather hide but I wasn't a coward I will face them head on This foolishness needs to end now I can't lose this game, it's the only thing I have now
You call us murderers, but don't comment on the lives you took People use justice, their families or 'for the greater good' to kill someone It's so hypocritical that I want to laugh Your actions speak louder than your words When someone you love dies, you have the perfect excuse to kill us You don't care about what my story is, you want me dead, plain and simple It's reasonable that I react the same.
Listen kid, life is more complicated than you think Being young doesn't excuse you from not understanding the big picture And I made it too far to stop now Go ahead, lash out at me And we will fall down together Cause I have nothing else to lose
When you die, all you see is white The light fades away and darkness takes over Everything is now black You hear the cries of the people you once loved And once the crying stops There is only... Silence.

F: The Killing Game Chapter 4: The Virtues of the Dead and Alive Daily Life
Sidra woke up.
"...Well, time to start yet another day." Sidra sighed.
As he got up, he left his room and went to the dining room.
Fujiko, Nicole, Minami, Kita and Yaruda were all there.
"Good morning." Fujiko told Sidra, after seeing him.
Sidra waved while putting on a pretty awkward smile as he sat down between Fujiko and Nicole.
Manuel, Huang and Amenhotep walked in after Sidra.
"Good morning." Fujiko greeted the three.
Huang still din't look any better after the events of the last trial.
Sidra looked around.
"Where is Kazumi?" Sidra asked.
"He is up on the third floor, gathering the 'dangerous' items that are left on that floor." Kita said.
Nicole looked at Fujiko.
"How can you trust him not to-" Nicole said.
"Because then if any of it is used, I'll know he did it. Now then, I decided the order on how everyone will be taking turns on guard duty. " Fujiko said.
She pulled out a piece of paper with a list on it and placed it on the table for everyone to see.
'Guard Duty
Day 1:Sidra, Kazumi, Kita
Day 2:Fujiko, Nicole, Amenhotep
Day 3:Huang, Minami, Manuel
Day 4:Sidra, Kazumi, Kita
Day 5:Fujiko, Nicole, Amenhotep
Day 6:Huang, Minami, Yaruda'
"Manuel and Yaruda switch because Yaruda's going to be busy with the computer and Manuel is a senior citizen who I presume needs his rest." Fujiko said.
"That seems fair enough " Manuel said.
Huang sighed, not saying anything else.
Amenhotep looking at Huang.
"...I'm not sure if Huang is ready for his turn." Amenhotep said.
"It wouldn't be fair to everyone else if Huang skipped on his turn, and ultimately to keep things even so everyone else gets 2 days of rest so it's either him or Yaruda." Fujiko said.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna take Huang's place, I'm fine with the schedule." Yaruda said.
"Alright. Now that's settled, you should probably get to the computers to see what you can do as soon as possible." Fujiko said.
"Dammnit."Yaruda sighed, "I've been working on that thing for 48 hours straight and nothing of any note has come up, this might be impossible quest."
"I'm sure if you keep looking you'll find something."Fujiko said. "Even any hints as to what other executions F has planned would be helpful."
"Assuming he will actually find anything on that computer." Huang muttered to himself.
Kazumi then walked in, carrying a box that was under his arm and placed it on the table. It contained the trophy that killed Dickard, the remaining bottles and any other objects in there from the third floor
"...How are you able to carry so much junk with just one arm?" Sidra asked
"I always get underestimated because of the loss of my other arm. Even without some of my limbs, I'm not completely broken." Kazumi said.
"Someone who can't see usually has heightened smell, touch and hearing. This is probably like that." Minami guessed.
"Kazumi, could you guard Yaruda like last time while he is working on the computer?" Fujiko asked.
"I could, but frankly, I'm not sure if any results will come up from those blasted computers. All of this could be just a waste of time." Kazumi said.
and then..
"Maybe it will, maybe it won't.
Eitherway, I hope you guys are ready for something special!
The Fourth Floor is open! and.. when you've all seen everything there, I've got something fun for you!"
"A Motive? Already?"Nicole asked.
"Hey, hey, it might not be a motive." F said, "you'll just have to find out after the break"
The Monitor turned off.
"...After the break?" Amenhotep asked.
"We might aswell check it out." Manuel said, standing up.
And so, they went upstairs, to the fourth floor.
..
Minami walked into a Viewing Room, with several small monitors and casettes nearby that dvds or videos could be placed in.
Amenhotep walked into the viewing room, looking puzzled by a place that has screens once again
Sidra and Nicole were in a music room
Sidra just clicked a few keys on a piano before he stopped.
"...I'm not really good with any of this music stuff." Sidra said.
Nicole picked up a flute and blew into it.
it sounded awful.
"Heh, so much for you being a Song." Sidra smirked.
Nicole just threw the flute at Sidra who easily dodged it.
Fujiko and Manuel walked into a greenhouse. It was visibly hot.
Fujiko pulled at her neckwarmer.
"...It's...quite hot in here." Fujiko said, as she pressed her finger at the leaf of one of the potted plants.
"*cough* Agreed. I din't expect F to be the type to care about plants." Manuel said, coughing slightly.
"It looks like the automated greenhouses we have in 1, that grows all of the fruit and vegetables we eat there." Fujiko said.
"It seems your universe is quite a advanced civilization. Universe 10’s chances of being like the other universes ended the moment they got cursed by the endless winter." Manuel said.
"I think Universe 1 has advanced too much." Fujiko sighed to herself.
"Sometimes advantation is better than nothing." Manuel said.
Fujiko shrugged in response.
It cuts to a chemistry lab that Huang and Yaruda were standing in
Huang was looking at a picture of Aro on the wall.
"I'd hate to be in the same room with this guy." Huang said.
Yaruda looked around in the room.
"I have no idea what any of the vials in here are, but I doubt they are safe." Yaruda said.
Huang looked at a shelf that had sections from A to C.
"...The bottles from the C section contain poison." Huang said.
"Well, we better get rid of that then." Yaruda said.
Huang just shrugged in response as he opened the cabinet and took them out
It then cut to Kita and Kazumi, who were in a small partition of the hallway that allowed one to look down and see the theatre.
There wasn't much else there, but it allowed a view of the floor below them.
"Someone could easily die by just pushing them down if a person decided to kill." Kazumi said.
Kita leaned against the fencing.
"Seems stable enough. But you are right, someone could easily be pushed down." Kita said.
"I doubt Kimura would be able to find a measure that would prevent anyone from using this hallway as a way to kill." Kazumi said.
Kita sighed, leaving.
..
Everyone met up in front of the stairs again, and shared their findings.
Fujiko looked a bit concerned
"...I see...we have to do something about the elevated hallway." Fujiko said.
"That the freaky mad scientist lab had a section of poison bottles." Huang said.
Fujiko looked at Kazumi.
"Could you take care of the poison while I try to deal with that walkway, when.-" Fujiko said.
And the monitor turned on.
"Hey, hey, everyone I hope you're ready for a special announcement! to the gym you lot!"
"Seriously, already?"Nicole asked.
"I hope it will be worth it." Sidra sighed.
in the gym...
was F's monitor, and noticeably, the gold itself was still there.
"Alright, so, two things.
One, from this point onwards; any motives I give you that are rewards, will stack. so, this gold,and anything else I ever offer- will always be available once someone gets away with murder."
And Two, from now on- I'm adding a new motive every single day!"
"Every day?"Nicole asked.
"Yeah, just in case the first one I give isn't actually enough, you know."
"So."Fujiko started, "What's today's motive?"
"I have tapes!"
And just like that, 12 tapes appeared on a table.
"If you guys want to see what's happening to the 12 universes in your absence, just take these tapes and check them out in the AV Room.
I'll see you tomorrow for the next motive!"
The Monitor turned off.
"A Motive a day, that's.. going to get repetitive fast."Minami commented.
Amenhotep counted the tapes before counting everyone.
"...There are 10 of us left while there are 12 tapes." Amenhotep said.
Kita picked them up.
"They just have numbers on them. '1', '2', '3' and so forth." Kita said.
"There is one tape per universe, and not really one per person this time." Kazumi said.
"While this may be the case, it's not worth watching them." Fujiko said.
Sidra looked a bit tempted but decided not to pick up any of the tapes.
"...Right." Sidra said.
"What are you planning to do about the motive a day thing?" Minami asked Fujiko
"We are all going to ignore any future motives." Fujiko said.
"Yeah!" Nicole chimed in.
Fujiko turned to Kazumi
"I would appreciate it if you help me work on safety proofing the fourth floor." Fujiko said.
Kazumi nodded.
She turned to Yaruda.
"And I want you to continue working on the computers." Fujiko said.
"I'm pretty sure there would be no benefit to continuing this." Yaruda said.
"Just do it." Fujiko said.
"...Fine." Yaruda said, with a pretty annoyed look.
So upstairs Yaruda went.
Kazumi followed Fujiko out of the room
"I guess the rest of us can assume with our daily routines." Amenhotep said as he walked out, followed up by Manuel and Huang
Sidra just looked at the tapes before he left
...
Minami, with no real idea what to do, just sat in the dining hall, resting her head in the palms of her hands.
Fujiko was walking back and forth on the elevated viewing hallway, trying to think of something she could do here.
Nicole was standing in the rec room, just staring at the exact spot that Chuo's body was laying only yesterday.
Yaruda was in the library as usual. just sitting there, he hadn't even turned the computer on.
Kita stayed in the gym, and had started dribbling a baseball to pass some time.
Sidra walked into the gymnasium and watched Kita
Huang was in the dinning hall, staring at the ground
Amenhotep was in the theatre room, just watching Fujiko and Kazumi from down there
Kazumi was with Fujiko, and was currently thinking
Manuel was on third floor, in the Tv room, watching a romantic movie. Judging by his face, he din’t like it.
Back in the cafeteria.
Minami looked to Huang, and asked a simple question.
"Hey.. you alright?" Minami asked.
“Oh, I’m sunshine and rainbows alright.” Huang said
His face however din’t imply that to be true
"..You can be honest with me, you know."Minami said.
"...Two guys just died in front of me and I indirectly caused it. Of course I'm not okay." Huang said.
Minami just sighed.
"...Do you want to be alone?" Minami asked.
"You could just pretend that I'm not here really." Huang sighed.
"...It wasn't your fault, it was Dickard's." Minami frowned
"If I din’t waste my time on the third floor and was at dinner, Dickard wouldn’t of attacked while everyone was there." Huang said.
"He would've just attacked somebody some other time." Minami said.
"Atleast Chuo would still be alive. I wish I could easily pretend that none of this is affecting me like Kazumi or take everything in with a big smile like you. But I can’t ignore reality." Huang said.
Minami looked like she was about to say something, but no words came out.
She closed her eyes, and then tried again.
"..You're right."Minami said. "Noone should expect anyone to just ignore this all. I was staying calm this entire time because I thought I could use that, but.."
Huang din’t say anything, he just waited for her to continue
"..You know."Minami sighed.
Huang sighed.
"Well, thanks for trying to cheer me anyways." Huang said.
Minami simply nodded.
Meanwhile, with Fujiko and Kazumi.
"...I guess the only real good way to deal with this place is to somehow board the entire elevated walkway off." Fujiko said.
"We could try to barricade the entrance. But it would require some team effort." Kazumi said.
"Yeah, but given how low on moral everyone was getting, I don't think that would happen anytime soon." Fujiko said.
"Using force to get them to work is an option." Kazumi said.
"It is, but not necessarily a good option." Fujiko said.
"If we won’t use that, then we'll have to work on this with the materials we have and getting those who are willing to land a hand." Kazumi said.
Fujiko just sighed.
"So far, apart from Alistair. None of the killers have been remotely good people." Fujiko said.
"I don't trust people in general. Sometimes, I don't even trust myself." Kazumi said.
"That makes sense, I just learned how to read between the lines thanks to my job in the council." Fujiko said.
"It would appear you have some treacherous people in your line of work." Kazumi said.
"Not so much treacherous, just two-faced and snake-tounged." Fujiko said.
"My nation’s council is mostly benevolent. The fact that we have the Omnipotent of Peace as a member of the council helps it." Kazumi said.
"That sounds like a good thing to me." Fujiko said.
Kazumi nodded.
"You are welcome to visit my universe if we get out of here." Kazumi said.
"...I honestly doubt that would happen...but thank you for the generous offer anyways." Fujiko said. ...
That night, at dinner. Everyone was there, and it was oddly quiet.
"...I was at the gym all day, and I didn't see anyone grab any of the tapes." Kita said.
Fujiko nodded at that,
"Minami, Huang and Manuel are on guard duty tonight." Fujiko said.
Minami looked at Huang before looking back at Fujiko.
"Maybe Huang could get some rest tonight.-" Minami tried to said.
"No. You would naturally vouch for Kita to go guard duty in Huang's stead, and then you could do whatever you wanted as your only opposition would be a elderly man." Fujiko said.
"...I don’t have any problems, guard duty would take my mind off some things." Huang sighed
"Do not worry. I will not let anyone go past me." Manuel proudly smiled.
eventually, night passed.
The Next Day, Sidra was rudely awoken by a monitor that was not in his bedroom last night.
"Okay everyone! Since no one's dead yet I'm shoving another motive into the pile!
This one is very, very simple- if you kill someone, I will allow you to use..."
The Monitor flickered and revealed.. a Bead?
"Anyone know what this is? it's one of the Wish Omnipotent's Wishing Beads, said to be able to make any wish come true.
If you kill, all of the gold from last chapter- and this unused wishing bead, will be yours."
The Monitor then turned off.
“...They do realize that if someone get’s that bead, they’ll just wish that the killing game never happened and all of us to be back in our Universes, right?” Sidra asked, as he tried to fall back to sleep
unfortunately, after that rude awakening. Sidra just wasn't able to get to sleep.
"...Ah, thanks a fucking lot, bastard." Sidra grumbled.
Annoyed, he left his room and went to the dining hall.
"You guys heard that?" Sidra asked.
"We did." Fujiko said.
"My Universe already has a set of 7 powerful orbs that can grant wishes. I'm not interested in a bead." Amenhotep said.
"Wow, wow, wow, hold the presses...your universe seriously has the dragon balls!?" Nicole asked.
"They aren’t called that. The Omnipotent of Artefacts made them and spread them in the Universe." Amenhotep said.
“So, there are two Omnipotents who made items that can grant wishes. Go figure” Sidra said
Fujiko just looked concerned.
"This seems like a motive F would save for last."Fujiko commented. "Why bring it out this early when there's 10 people left?"
"F is trying to take advantage of our desperation." Manuel said.
"The bead F had could easily be a cheap one they got from a dime store. It din’t look magical to me." Huang said.
"Have you ever seen a wishing bead? Technically, I haven't either, so I can't be sure if it's real or not, but..." Minami said.
"I know about the beads. A group of orphans used them and their wishes came true. But you need to keep the bead with you or else the wish is undone." Manuel said.
"Just like the last motive, it would be best to ignore this one as well." Fujiko said.
Kazumi nodded.
"We should put our efforts into sealing off the hallway." Kazumi said.
"Where'd we find anything we could use to seal it off?" Yaruda asked.
"Maybe the warehouse, since there's a large amount of shit in there." Nicole said.
"The warehouse is kinda closed." Sidra said.
"Well, anyone have any other ideas?"Nicole asked.
"Just get someone to guard the place."Yaruda groaned. "It's not that hard, is it?"
"Sure, but the guard has to be someone strong who won’t get easily pushed to their death." Fujiko said.
"...I guess the person will turn out to be me." Sidra sighed.
"Process of elimination, m'dude."Nicole shrugged.
Fujiko looked at Nicole.
"You know, you're being way more flippant than usual." Fujiko said.
"Once I started not worrying about whatever's going on outside, I've been able to relax a lot more." Nicole shrugged.
Fujiko looked sceptical, before just turning to Sidra.
"Yeah, you should guard the hallway." Fujiko said.
Sidra sighed.
"Someone should send me some food if I'm gonna guard the hallway all day." Sidra said.
Minami was about to-
"I'll do it. I have nothing to do anyway."Kita said.
Sidra nodded before he went off to guard the hallway.
And so, the day started.
Kita and Minami were both in the dining hall again.
Yaruda was wondering around on the third floor.
Nicole was playing a video game in the gaming room.
Fujiko was in the gymnasium, the door to it was wide open so she could see anyone who'd walk past.
Sidra was of course, guardian the door, while looking bored.
Amenhotep was in the dining hall, along with Huang with Amenhotep trying to raise his spirits.
Manuel was in the infirmary, getting himself some pills
While there, he noticed a couple more bottles were missing.
"...Hm, that's odd." Manuel asid.
Kazumi was in front of the art room, just looking at the door before he walked away.
...
"I should get Sidra his food."Kita eventually said, grabbing a plate full of something and waving at Minami as she walked out.
Kita walked up all of the stairs and went to Sidra, handing the plate to him.
Sidra took the plate.
"Thanks, I was starving." Sidra said.
Kita just nodded.
A Full minute of silence passed as Sidra ate the food.
"...What's 12 like?"Kita asked.
Sidra stopped eating as he looked at Kita.
"...Well, everything is kinda the same like in each universe with cities and villages except the inhabitants aren't humans. Though, I wasn't born on the surface land. I lived in a underwater city where most of my kind is staying at. Not all Anthropomorph's live in the same place." Sidra said
"Anthropomorph's?"Kita asked, cracking a smile. "Is that what you call yourselves?"
"Nope, but I imagine that's how a human would scientifically call us anyway. We just don't call ourselves animals" Sidra said.
"What do you guys call yourselves then?"Kita asked, scratching her ear.
"...Honestly, we don't really have a official title, we just consider ourselves people like you guys. Though, the Guardians from my world have a more holy-esque title for our species:The Children of Simba since we apparently inherited his ability to talk aswell as his elements." Sidra said.
Kita just continued scratching her ear.
"Y'know, that's fair."Kita commented.
"...Right. Any other questions about our interesting race?" Sidra asked.
"..You mentioned, back on the first day that you were training to be the omnipotent of thirst, right?"Kita asked. "How does that work? I didn't know people trained to become them."
"...Well, our Universe's Omnipotents unlocked their powers through their instincts. When a Omnipotent died and a successor must take their place, those who have the same elements as the dead Omni can train to master their elements to a new level though you'll need a Omnipotent's guidance in order to advance to the same level as a Omni and not everyone succeeds. The who is training me to take Onya's place is Milana, the Omnipotent of Regeneration." Sidra said
"What's she like?"Kita asked.
"She is wise, strong and is very nice to her students, sometimes a little bit overprotective. She comes from a family of martial artists and she took it upon herself to train the new generation into becoming fierce warriors that will defend us all if the Kheogs ever returned or some new threat entirely. It was the guardian from my city, Liam, who convinced Milana to take me in as her new student. Liam has the power to see the future like other Universal Guardians so I guess he saw me potentially becoming a Omnipotent in one of his visions." Sidra said.
And so, Kita continued to ask question after question about Sidra's life and universe 12.
Before the two knew it, it was time for dinner again.
Dinner was mainly quiet, and once dinner ended, Kazumi, Kita and Sidra were on guard duty while everybody else slept.
...
The Next Day
"Seriously? there's usually a murder- or someone plotting one- by now." F sighed as everyone apart from those on guard duty woke up.
"Fine, here's another motive. There's a machine in the physics lab that is set to release a deadly neurotoxin in 24 hours.
Since none of you guys wanted a wish, you get this shit instead, choke on it."
All Monitor's changed screen, only showing a timer counting down from 24 hours.
Sidra's eyes widened.
"WHAT!?" Sidra asked
Nearly every person bursted out of their room upon hearing that announcement
"Are you kidding me!?" Huang asked.
"I have a question!...What's Neurotoxin?" Amenhotep asked
"Poisonous Gas that targets the Nervous system specifically. Causing your brain to shut down."Fujiko said, looking shaken.
Minami and Kita just looked at each other.
"This Crazy Psycho isn't kidding.."Yaruda muttered.
"If the machine is in the physics lab, shouldn't we find a way to shut it off?" Manuel asked.
"Oh yeah, Like F's just going to-"Yaruda started.
F appeared.
"Of course, there is one way to deactivate the machine. But the paper with the instructions is hidden somewhere in the building. It can be in any room, any area. So, basically, you have to search the entire place from floor 1 to 4. Or, you can deactivate it through a more easier way...just kill someone already." F said
And there goes F
"..Oh no, Oh no, oh no I am Not Buying this load of horsecrap!"Yaruda yelled, "If you need me i'll be in my room!"
he turned back to his room and slammed the door behind him.
Nicole- who was visibly sweating and holding onto both of her ears, just looked at everyone.
"..W..What.. What are we.. what are..."Nicole muttered.
"..We can't split up."Fujiko said. "If we split up, somebody's going to kill. We have 24 hours, that's enough time to look from floor to floor as a group."
"The instructions could be in any room in every floor. For all we know, they could be in the room of someone who is dead and we don't even have their keys." Huang said.
"What would you rather we do!?"Fujiko asked- at the top of her lungs. "Die!? Kill!?"
"HOW THF FUCK SHOULD I KNOW-" Huang yelled back.
"QUIET!" Kazumi yelled out
Everyone looked at him, his outburst got both Huang and Fujiko to stop.
"...We'll simply just have to look. We don't turn a blind eye to any corner. Now, enough arguing and let's start the search." Kazumi said
And so, the search began.
The group began looking in their individual rooms to the other areas of floor 1 such as the dining hall, kitche, gymnasium, pool room, laundry room, warehouse, the 4 empty rooms, trash and F's shop.
nothing came up.
So they searched on the second floor, then the third, then the fourth..
but nothing, nothing came up at all.
Several hours passed- and they were unable to find the instructions.
What's more, when Yaruda (who had been convinced to leave his room) looked at the machines in the physics lab, he was unable to determine which one was the one that would emit the neurotoxin.
..
13 Hours Left
"..We've looked all over the place. The Entire Building. But..."Fujiko sighed, unable to finish her sentence.
"We're all going to die here..."Nicole gasped under her breath, her eyes looking empty.
"Fuck it, if I'm going to die, I'm not going to die on a empty stomach."Yaruda grimaced. "I'm going to grab something to eat."
"Are you sure that's a smart idea?"Minami asked.
"What?"Yaruda asked. "we've got 13 hours to live anyway!"
"Oh my, oh my, oh my!" Amehotep said, freaking the fuck out.
Manuel was looking at the machines.
"All we can do is go with our gut and deactivate the machine that seems the most likely one to be the one with the neurotoxin." Manuel said.
"And how are we supposed to know which one will be which?"Fujiko asked.
"...Breaking it.. is a.. bad idea.."Nicole gasped out, "If you do that.. it'll just.. release the toxins.."
Huang was looking at the floor.
"...Fuck it, I'll try." Huang said.
"...Can you be able to do it?" Sidra asked.
"I really got to disarm a death machine but it's better than standing around waiting to die." Huang said.
"I'm not gonna stop you then." Kita said.
"I'm more concerned about what would happen if Huang fails..." Minami said.
12 Hours and 40 minutes left
"...I swear, if you fuck this up and we all die.."Yaruda grimaced.
Fujiko held her breath.
Huang then began looking around at every machine in the room.
He eventually spotted a machine that looked more weird looking and had a vent.
"...Well, this must be it then." Huang said.
with sweat dripping from his brow, he grabbed a nearby object and started smacking the machine to pieces.
...
Purple smog exploded out of it and immediately encompassed the entire room.
"You Bastard!"Yaruda could be heard yelling as everyone who could began to hurry out of the room.
Fujiko went back inside to help Huang get out, while Nicole fell to her side and began coughing furiously. There was a light buzzing noise as Kazumi could be seen collapsing not far away.
Sidra's legs weren't working, and eventually.. his eyes stopped as well.
...
...
Eventually, sight returned to Sidra.
Two things immediately came out as strange to him.
The first thing, he couldn't see anybody nearby, and the second, the purple gas that forced him into unconsciousness was nowhere to be seen.
The Timer on the monitor was gone as well.
Sidra got up, looking around.
"...Okay, either Huang smashing the machine saved us all...or I'm now in Heaven...or Hell." Sidra said as he got up and tried to leave the area
When Sidra turned, he immediately noticed that the door to the theatre was wide open.
Sidra, nervously walked in, to see a figure hanging from a noose far above him, too far away to be properly identified. Most likely, this figure was hanging from the elevated hallway on the fourth floor.
Sidra, looking afraid, walked closer to see who the figure was
Sidra went up the stairs that lead nowhere to try to get a better view of the person hanging from the noose.
... It was Minami's clay model of Yoku- with it's skin painted white.
Sidra just stared at it, confused, and mildly annoyed.
"..A Body has been discovered! Finally!
You guys were cutting it close as well, that Neurotoxin would've finished you off in like, 4 hours!"
"Body? That's Minami's model of Yoku! And where the fuck is everyone!?" Sidra asked
There was the sound of a scream from the fourth floor.
And then, Yaruda ran into view; on the elevated hallway- accompanied by Kazumi.
"..H-Huang!"Yaruda yelled, running to the model, before he frozen when he got a better look at it. "Man, What the Fuck kind of practical joke is this!?"
"Yaruda, what's going on!?"Sidra asked.
"I-I don't know man!"Yaruda exclaimed, "I just, Fujiko's in the greenhouse, she's.. she's bleeding but she's not dead! I thought she was but then she opened her eyes; but then, i heard the body announcement; and Kazumi noticed this rope here, and.. fuck, i thought Huang hung himself. I don't know where everybody else is!"
"We should check to see if there someone else left in the physics lab." Kazumi said.
To the physics lab they went to.
The machine that Huang smashed was now laying in pieces.
"Is anyone in here!?" Sidra asked.
Some groaning was heard as the three turned their heads to the remains of the machine
Huang peered out of the machine, his black business suit and tie were slightly teared up from what happened.
"Ugh, present." Huang said.
"Holy crap, you are alive!" Sidra said.
"*cough*Barely*cough*I think I still have some of that smog in my throat." Huang frowned.
"...Dude, how did you even fit in there?"Yaruda asked.
"W..Wait, that doesn't matter!"He then interrupted himself "There was a body announcement, somebodies dead!"
"...Fuck...where is everyone else?" Huang asked.
"Fujiko is in the greenhouse, she is bleeding but she is alive atleast." Sidra said.
"The only ones missing are Amenhotep, Manuel, Minami, Kita and Nicole." Kazumi said.
"...We should check the second floor."Sidra decided,
and so, the four went downstairs, something falling from the back of Huang's jacket as they went.
..When they went downstairs, they saw...
Manuel looking into the air room.
Yaruda ran to Manuel.
"Manuel, do you know where everyone else are?" Yaruda asked.
"I certainly do." Manuel said, as he gestured into the art room.
"Well, that doesn't sound ominous." Yaruda said as he, Huang, Kazumi and Sidra peered in.
...
Their eyes were first directed upwards- where Kita was hanging from a rope by her foot, noticeably; she had a visible scuff mark where her knee would be, and she appeared to be unconscious- with a small trail of blood dripping from her right index finger
Below her, was a circle drawn in white paint, Nicole; who was wearing Minami's raincoat was lying face down in the middle of the circle with a clean knife in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.
Amenhotep was lying on his back to the right side, where Dimitri's model had been knocked over, with a small bloody wound on his shoulder; and Minami was on the left side- not wearing her raincoat leaning against the wall with a gash on the side of her head.
Apart from the blood dripping from Kita's finger, it was spotless.
"...What the fuck is this!?"Yaruda asked.
"I woke up earlier and looked around, and then I saw them when I gazed into the art room. Truth be told I didn't even know what I was looking at." Manuel said.
Yaruda ran up to Amenhotep first, shaking him.
"Amenhotep, wake up man!" Yaruda said.
Amenhotep slowly opened his eyes.
"...S-Seth?...Is my time up?" Amenhotep asked.
"Hey, wait, he isn't dead?" F's voice could be heard asking, audibly confused.
"No, I'm not Seth, and more importantly, you are not dead. Now what the hell even happened here!?" Yaruda asked.
Amenhotep rubbed his head.
"...I remember Huang destroying that weird machine, then the smoke came in and then...it was just darkness. Then I woke up and..." Amenhotep said.
Amenhotep then yelped in pain when he touched his shoulder as he looked at it and his eyes widened
"...W-Who did this to me!?" Amenhotep asked.
He then looked around and.
"AH, AAAAAAH!" He screamed when he saw Nicole, Minami and Kita.
Yaruda just grimaced when Amenhotep screamed.
"This is all a massive clusterfuck right now, there is a model hanging in the theatre room and Fujiko is bleeding in the greenhouse, Then I come downstairs and see this scene." Yaruda said.
"The victim had to be either Minami, Nicole or Kita, right? " Sidra asked.
"How do you know that there is only one victim?" Manuel asked.
"Last time there were two victims, the body announcement mentioned that fact. this one just mentioned 'a body'. So only one of these three was dead." Sidra said.
Kazumi went and checked each one, trying to feel their pulse.
"...Kita is dead." Kazumi said.
Sidra’s eyes widened
“...What...WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!” Huang asked

F: The Killing Game Chapter 4: The Virtues of the Dead and Alive Killing Life
The question that was in Sidra's head, aswell as everyone else
What the fuck happened?
From smog covering the entire place to that hanged sculpture of Yoku, to a injured Fujiko in the greenhouse...to whatever that was in the art room that resulted in a injured Amenhotep, Minami and Nicole...and a dead Kita
Before they could try to find answers, Sidra and the others were currently outside the infirmary while the ones who were injured like Amenhotep, Fujiko, Nicole and Minami were inside. Kita was left in the art room.
Fujiko was awake, but Nicole and Minami were not.
"What happened after the smog hit?" Kazumi asked.
"...I saw Huang, Minami and Kita were still in the physics lab, so I went in there to get them out. I don't remember much of what happened after that but I know that I was nowhere near the greenhouse when I lost consciousness. I'm sorry, if I rememberf anything else, I'd tell you." Fujiko said.
"I wasn't awake after the smog hit till after you woke me up. I don't even know how my shoulder got injured like that." Amenhotep said.
"Who the hell could of been the sick fuck to do that to you all in the art room!?" Huang asked.
"This could be yet another Dickard and Chuo incident, in which there is no killer and it was the victims who did it." Manuel said.
"...Why would they have done all of this?" Fujiko asked
"It was possible that one person did one thing each, like, Fujiko being moved, Amenhotep being wounded and the scene in the art room could've all been done by different people." Yaruda said.
"We should start finding the clues in order to make some sense out of this." Sidra said.
"First, let's wait for Minami and Nicole to wake up. Plus, Minami needs to hear the bad news first before they start the investigation." Sidra said.
Fujiko then opened up the infirmary cabinet and pulled out some smelling salts.
"Were those always there?" Yaruda asked.
"Yes." Manuel said.
Fujiko just waved them in front of Nicole and Minami, the two woke up.
"W..what happened?"Nicole asked- looking around and standing up; she was uninjured for the most part. "Are we dead!?"She asked. "I.. I don't feel dead."
"We're not. But.. Kita is."Yaruda said.
Minami just looked at Yaruda.
"...Are you serious?" Minami asked.
"...He is. We found the two of you, Nicole and Amenhotep in the art room. Kita was hanging from a rope by her feet, there was a scuff mark on her knee and she was bleeding from her index finger." Sidra sighed.
"Yeah, but, she's dead!?"Minami exclaimed, "That's impossible! She can't be!"
"I checked her pulse himself. She is dead for sure." Kazumi said.
At that moment, waterworks burst from Minami's eyes as she just sat down and pulled her knees to her chest.
Fujiko's lib wobbled slightly as she looked away.
"So, what happened while I was out?"Nicole asked, still frightened.
"You were wearing Minami's raincoat, laying in a circle while having a clean knife and a paintbrush in both of your hands." Sidra said.
"..Why?"Nicole asked, now more confused than frightened.
"I have no idea." Sidra said.
"Where that clean knife even came from? I sealed everything off in the warehouse." Fujiko said.
"Maybe someone must of found a way in...or maybe it was someone who was working with you to get rid of all the weapons." Huang said as he looked at Kazumi.
"And how on Earth would I able to put that Yoku model there aswell as do whatever that was in the art room with the limbs that I have left?" Kazumi asked.
"Well, you're able to carry a lot of stuff with one arm anyways." Huang shrugged.
"..Where's the Alistair Model?"Yaruda asked.
Manuel put his hand on his own chin.
"I din't see the Alistair model there at all.
"It must be hidden somewhere in the building. It can't be that hard to spot a Voodoo statue of a bald alien." Huang said.
"The places we have to investigate should be the physics lab, theatre, the elevated hallway, greenhouse aswell as the art room for any extra clues." Sidra said.
Minami was unresponsive.
"I'll investigate the physics lab, I was in there when I lost consciousness after all." Fujiko said.
"I don't know what to do...but I guess I can check out the art room anyway." Nicole shrugged.
"...I'll look around the greenhouse." Yaruda sighed.
"I'll check the threatre." Sidra said.
"I'll help Nicole, even if I'm still confused as heck about what happened." Amenhotep said.
"I'll check the hallway." Manuel said.
"Then I'll take the chemistry room." Huang said.
"I'll check the viewing room and then the music room." Kazumi said.
And so, everyone left.
Except for Minami, who continued to cry in the infirmary.
.. In the physics lab.
Fujiko found a blood stain in the middle of the room- and a bloody fragment of what used to be a pipe.
She compared to it to her own wound, and found they matched.
She also found the object Huang had used to bash the machine in.
It had rolled all the way across the lab.
There was also a machine that had been knocked off a table onto the floor, didn't look to be dented in any real way, however
Sidra was in the theatre, looking around for any other clues.
Manuel was on the elevator hallway, getting a good look at the Yoku Model
The Theatre didn't have much on it,
there were a couple of white splotches of paint just under the hanging doll.
The Yoku Model wasn't coloured in at all when Minami had shown it to everyone in the art room, but now- it's skin was painted white and it's robe painted blue.
"...I assume Minami finished her work, or the killer did it for her." Mnaule said.
Huang was currently in the chemistry lab, thinking that some bottles could of been possibly to cause that whatever the fuckness happened.
Surprisingly, nothing in the chemistry lab had changed.
It cuts to Kazumi who was in the viewing room, seeing if there were any clues or atleast a mointor that could show what happened after everyone passed out.
If he would find nothing, he would go to the music room
There was nothing in either of the rooms.
It then cuts to the art room.
Amenhotep and Nicole were currently looking at the dead Kita aswell as the circle below her.
"..What in the name of Anubis happened in here?" Amenhotep muttered.
Nicole kicked at the paint circle.
"...Some of the paint is stuck on my shoes. I guess it's still wet...We should probably get Kita down from there." Nicole said.
"Very well...though, I'll need a chair, I'm not that tall." Amenhotep said.
"...I'll go get one." Nicole sighed.
She then came back with a chair,stood on it; and untied Kita's foot.
Her Body fell to the ground with a thump.
Nicole, with a creeped out face, looked over her. noticing a small hole in her jacket- like, needle sized hole.
Then; she opened up her hand, and noticed some more cuts on the the palm.
Amenhotep just looked at her body.
"...There is also the scuff mark and her bleeding finger. I'm curious about why me, Kita and Minami had a few injuries while you were the only one unharmed." Amenhotep said.
"Fujiko said that she went back into the physics lab, because she knew Huang, Kita and Minami were in there. My memory is a blurr, but I'm pretty sure I got out before I collapsed. I guess that would have something to do with it." Nicole said.
"Then I suppose I got my injury when Huang damaged that machine...ugh, that blasted man, how could he be so foolish!?" Amenhotep asked.
"...If Huang doing that gave everyone their injuries, could it have been Huang who killed Kita?" Nicole asked.
"Perhaps, though we already suspected Huang of being the potential murderer of Dickard and Chuo. It might not be the same case." Amenhotep shrugged.
Nicole simply frowned.
..
It cut to Yaruda in the greenhouse,
there were some specks of blood were Fujiko was found, and a few plants near the entrance appeared to have died somehow. But other than that, nothing changed.
Everyone then met up and gave each other the info about what they found in the areas they investigated
Minami was still crying.
"...I...I failed her...as a big sister..." Minami said, while crying.
"...Do you all have any ideas about what happened?" Fujiko asked, frowning
"The dead plants in the greenhouse could've been affected by that gas that knocked everyone out, and we have a idea of how you and Amenhotep got injured, but no real clues as to what killed Kita." Yaruda said.
"She was hanging from her foot, someone must of tied her up there. Also, we still have no idea how the Yoku sculpture ended up there and where the Alistair sculpture is ." Sidra said.
"Yoku model looked finished compared to when Minami showed it to us for the first time." Manuel said.
"Also. When the body discovery announcement played, F said 'the gas would've killed us all in 4 hours'. What do you all think that means?" Yaruda asked.
"the gas might've been slow working, taking 4 hours to end someone's life after knocking them out?"Nicole guessed. "Or.. maybe we all woke up hours after we were knocked unconscious."
"The Monitor was on like, 12 hours or something when Huang broke the machine. So we'd have been unconscious for 8 hours."Fujiko commented.
"In that amount of time, someone could of been able to kill Kita like that. So, where else should they look at?" Huang asked.
There was silence.
"I think the better question is...a place where we hadn't looked yet." Manuel said.
"We should probably search out the entirety of floor 4." Sidra said.
"I believe we should look at the warehouse. If the clean knife came from there, we could possibly find Alistair's model or any other clue." Kazumi said.
"..Warehouse it is then."Fujiko said.
And when they got to the warehouse..
it was as though it had been pried open.
There were some drops of blood on the ground near the door- and the police tape was clearly ripped.
"...Someone had forced the warehouse open." Fujiko said, looking concerned.
She and Kazumi then looked inside, they saw the pile of dangerous objects had clearly been tampered with, and there was a knife missing.
"..Alistair's model isn't here either."Yaruda commented,
and then.
"Okay, Okay, that's enough. Time for the Trial you dinguses."
"...Every time we don't find all the puzzle pieces, F has to butt in and fuck everything up ." Huang sighed, as everyone went into the elevator
And so, everyone entered.
Minami hugged herself, her raincoat simply worn over her shoulders as they all entered the trial grounds.
This time, the trial area looked like a ruined golden temple.
Dickard's Red X had been drawn over with a green dollar sign, and not too far away, Kita's was there with it's own X- with her portrait upside down.
Fujiko looked at everyone nervously.
"Alright, have you buffons figured out what the shit happened? Good. Now let the party start!" F said.

F: The Killing Game Chapter 4: The Virtues of the Dead and Alive Trial Life
And now, the fourth trial.
"Now let's start making sense of this clusterfuck and find out who did it." Huang said.
"We should start with Kita's autopsy: her foot was tied up by a rope, scuff mark on her knee, bleeding finger, needle sized hole in her jacket and some cuts on her palm. Now the question is: which one could be the most likely injury that killed her?" Manuel said.
"It would be the bleeding finger. I don't think any of those wounds could really be fatal, but if she bled out.." Nicole said.
"No, it couldn't be that, if she bled so much that she died there'd be way more blood on the art room floor." Minami said.
"Maybe it was the cuts on her palm?" Amenhotep asked.
Sidra, thinking, remember the hole in her jacket aswell as Kita's reliance on drugs.
"...Or maybe the hole in her jacket could of had something to do it. From what was learned during the second trial, Kita needed injections to survive. Maybe an overdoze killed her somehow?" Sidra guessed.
"We never got the chance to check the pile of deadly items in the warehouse completely before F interrupted us. But it is possible that they used some of the poison from the infirmary or chemistry lab and injected it into her." Yaruda said.
"Through her jacket, though?"Fujiko asked.
Minami tightened her grip on herself at that exact moment.
"I checked the chemistry lab, nothing was touched ever since me and Yaruda first visited it." Huang said.
"I agree with that." Sidra said.
"Yesterday, I was in the infirmary looking for my medicine and saw that a couple of bottles were missing." Manuel said.
"I thought I took all of the poison from the infirmary, but it is possible that I missed something." Fujiko said.
"So, we're all agreeing that the hole in her jacket is connected to her death, right?"Yaruda asked. "And something from the infirmary could've been used to do this?"
"Someone must of used the poison to kill Kita while everyone else was knocked out." Sidra said.
"Besides Fujiko, Kazumi was collecting all the dangerous items. He could of took the poison. Plus, he never really did trust Minami and Kita." Huang said.
"During those days, I spent them trying to find a way to barricade the hallway with Kimura and yesterday I was on the second floor, not to mention, I was knocked out too. Also, I don't trust anyone in general." Kazumi said.
"I don't think it was Fujiko or Kazumi, because if it was, why would they need to tear open the warehouse entrance the way they did? Plus, it was Huang who broke the machine in the first place so maybe..." Nicole said.
"It couldn't of been Huang. Me, Yaruda and Kazumi found him buried under the pile of that machine he broke." Sidra said.
"...The possibility of the poisoning happening when everyone was knocked out is reasonable, but incorrect. You should probably try looking at this from another angle." Minami said.
"What do you mean?" Fujiko asked.
"You know exactly what I mean. Now, what could have caused Kita's other's wounds? The cuts on her hand and her finger, or the scuff mark on her knee?" Minami asked.
She sounded.. duller, than usual.
Sidra began thinking.
"...Maybe the Yoku model would have something to do with it. The connection the model has with Kita is that both are hanged up. Plus, if any image of a person Minami creates and someone does something to it, the injury will appear on the person." Sidra said.
"Yoku's model din't look anything like Kita." Manuel said.
"Yoku's model was painted now wasn't it? Why someone would even bother doing that?" Yaruda asked.
"I was wounded and then moved to the greenhouse for some reason." Fujiko said.
"I was also wounded and ended up in the art room." Amenhotep said.
"Also, the gash on the side of Minami's head. Where did all of these wounds come from?" Nicole asked.
"I got my gash when I fell after Huang broke that machine." Minami said.
"Maybe we all got our injuries after Huang destroyed the machine. But it doesn't explain Fujiko in the greenhouse. And why Dimitri's model left untouched while Yoku and Alistair's were tampered with?" Amenhotep asked.
"Honestly, the only thing that makes sense is if there was no reason for the models being moved around; other than to throw everyone off, make us waste our time debating something completely irrelevant instead of focusing on the actual crime and everything that happened. It would make more sense to keep discussing everyone's wounds, instead of the models. I'm certain they are red herrings." Yaruda said.
"...But I'm pretty sure I got attacked in the physics lab, due to the large blood stain and the sharp pipe fragment I found in there." Fujiko said.
Minami's brows furrowed when Fujiko spoke.
Sidra looked at Minami before he looked at Fujiko,
"Are you sure about that?" Sidra asked.
"There wasn't much blood at all in the greenhouse, so her being moved there would make sense." Yaruda said.
"The pipe fragment matched my wound, so I'm pretty sure that's what was used to attack me." Fujiko said.
"So, Fujiko was attacked in the physics lab, when?"Nicole asked.
"It must have been before most people were knocked out."Minami concluded, although it didn't sound like a recent conclusion.
"..Wasn't there was a machine that was knocked on the ground in the physics lab?" Sidra asked
"That must of been knocked over around that time period as well." Fujiko said.
"when you got stabbed? or when Huang broke the machine?"Yaruda asked.
"Well, given that the physics lab was were the gas came from, they'd have to be around the same time, wouldn't they?"Nicole asked.
"...It's possible they din’t happen at the same time. The machine could of been knocked some time after what Huang did. It was 8 hours since that happened." Sidra said.
"Hey, Fujiko, what else do you remember when you got attacked?" Nicole asked.
"I don't remember much, but I'm sure that I lost consciousness in the gas and then woke up in the infirmary. So I was probably attacked around the time the gas was released." Fujiko said.
"Please, try to remember anything else, if you can remember the state of that machine then there might be more to this." Yaruda said.
"...I'm trying." Fujiko frowned.
"You were able to remember seeing Huang, Minami and Kita being in the physics lab and trying to get them out before you passed out." Sidra said.
"Yeah, well, other than that." Yaruda said.
"Minami, Kita and Fujiko were all injured, so it's possible that something else happened when Fujiko entered the physics lab, so chances are, she did pass out from being attacked then, and it's possible everyone else was attacked at that point as well." Nicole said.
"Perhaps it was someone who din’t have a injury on them. Like Sidra, Nicole, Kazumi, Yaruda and Manuel." Amenhotep said.
"I'm not strong enough to lift that pipe fragment, let alone beat someone with it." Manuel said.
"I don't think it could be Kazumi or Nicole, as I saw them collapse outside of the physics lab." Sidra said.
"Plus, the pipe Fragment was sharp, not blunt." Fujiko said.
Nicole then started thinking,
Since it couldn't been most of the people in here who used the pipe fragment, the only one who could of done it is...
"...It could've been Kita who attacked Fujiko with the pipe fragment." Nicole guessed.
"...Why would you think that?" Minami asked.
"The pipe fragment was sharp, right? if it was broken off from a pipe then the entire thing would've been sharp as well. Probably sharp enough to cut up someone's hand when they pick it up." Nicole said.
"But why on Earth would Kita attack Fujiko and risk getting ourselves killed?" Minami asked.
"Kita was one step fist away from killing me when she thought that I killed Dimitri. Plus, Fujiko has been on your case with taking the art tools and also suspected you when you suggested to have Kita replace me for guard duty. Kita probably wasn’t happy about that." Huang said.
"...And, with the time limit motive."Fujiko started. "We only had 12 hours until we'd all die."
"When that machine first released all of that gas, I thought it was the neurotoxin, and we'd all die. Kita might have thought the same, and attacked in the heat of the moment." Yaruda said.
"Kita could of injected herself to rip that pipe fragment off." Sidra said.
"If Kita attacked everyone and she cut herself...what about the scuff mark on her knee? And why was she hanging upside down?" Amenhotep asked.
"Hold on! Kita could not have injected herself, as the injection hole was in the back of her jacket. What's more, If this was like her usual injections, then how come this one left a mark, every other injection she's had has never left a mark because of the special syringes she uses!" Minami said.
"Kita wouldn't just attack Minami, Amenhotep and Fujiko maybe, but not her own sister." Nicole said.
Fujiko was quiet.
"...You could have been the one to inject Kita." Sidra told Minami
"Okay, then where is the syringe then!? Search me if you want, neither me nor Kita injected Kita with anything!" Minami said.
Sidra looked at Nicole.
"You were wearing Minami’s raincoat and had the knife and paintbrush. Did you feel something in her pocket, like the syringe?" Sidra asked.
"I din't." Nicole said.
"...They thought they killed me."Fujiko said, suddenly.
"What?"Yaruda asked.
"..When the gas erupted, I went into the physics lab again to get everyone out, and then Kita attacked me. She cut me with a piece of that pipe and I lost consciousness, not because of the gas, but due to the injury.
They thought they killed me."Fujiko said.
Kazumi turned his head to Fujiko.
"Why were you quiet about this?" Kazumi asked.
"...I couldn't remember properly due to the gas or something. I didn't actually know if Kita thought she killed me, but, it's the only way that everything that happened made sense. Just looking at the warehouse door, it only makes sense if Kita did that too." Fujiko said.
"Because of the droplets of Blood in front of the door, right?"Nicole asked.
Fujiko nodded.
"It would be useless to do that if they had already killed, so.. everything that happened after everyone lost consciousness, must have been a massive red herring designed to steer everyone away from a truth that wasn't even true.
"So... Everyone being moved around, the model hanging in the theatre room, and the scene in the art room were all staged to make it seem as though Kita didn't attack anyone?"Nicole asked.
Fujiko nodded
"At least, that's what I think." Fujiko said.
"So, Kita killed herself to prevent the actual truth from being discovered?" Huang asked.
"Why would Kita do that!?"Minami asked, loudly. "That wasn't.. this all wasn't.. Kita wasn't supposed to be dead.."
She started crying again.
"I.. I Don't understand.. why did my sister die..? I.. I knew that she might be executed.. but.. I didn't expect this..."
"..You knew she might be executed?"Sidra asked. "Minami, what does that mean?"
Minami took a deep breath, and then. "..Fujiko's correct, for the most part. We did think that Kita killed her."
Amenhotep's eyes widened,
"...Why would Kita do that?" Amenhteop asked
"What had happened was.. when the machine broke, Kita thought it was the neurotoxin machine.
She picked up a pipe and smacked Amenhotep in the shoulder with it repeatedly, no one else saw because of all the smog, and no one else heard because everyone else was screaming.
Then Fujiko came in, and tried to pull Kita away; Kita was knocked to the floor, I tried to intervene and was knocked into another machine, that also fell.
At some point, the pipe must have shattered, Kita- still holding one fragment, slashed it across Fujiko's chest.
Fujiko stumbled slightly, and then fell. Seeing the blood pooling out of her, we both thought she was dead.
..And the fact that the gas stopped at that exact moment helped as well.
We didn't have any plan before that, but, Kita had killed someone, and.. I couldn't just let that be the end of it.
The Plan became, if Kita got away with the crime, she'd use her wish to wish that this stupid killing game never happened. I.. Didn't want her to die, and if I died getting her out of here, then I'd be brought back to live by the wish.
We moved everyone around, placing Fujiko in the greenhouse to confuse things, and then, to make things even stranger, and pull suspicion to me, I took the Yoku model, painted it, and hung it from the hallway.
Then, I gave Nicole my raincoat, while Kita opened the warehouse and pulled some things like the rope and the clean knife out, again, just to confuse things.
Tying Kita from her ankle and hanging her there would make it seem like she's the only one who couldn't have committed any crime.Everything else was done to make it as confusing as possible.
But then, I woke up.. and Fujiko was alive, but Kita was dead." Minami said, still crying. "..I.. I don't even know how she could have died- she was just fine when I hung her upside down."
"How'd you manage to knock yourselves unconscious?" Nicole asked.
"Sleeping Pills I took from the medicine cabinet in the infirmary. Kita had hers before I hung her upside down, and I had mine once I sat myself down.
I took some from the infirmary a while ago, I didn't expect I'd be using them so soon, though." Minami said
"Where was the bottle?" Manuel asked.
"I placed them in a nearby cabinet. I'm surprised that no one noticed." Minami said.
"When did you knock yourselves out?" Nicole asked.
"I din't keep track of time, but it took me around 2 hours to finish preparing the scenes." Minami said.
"It couldn't have been too long ago, because the painted circle in the art room was still wet when I checked it!" Nicole said.
"Yes, I remember that. I noticed the paint was still wet when I entered in the art room." Amenhotep said.
"We didn't find any sleeping pills in the art room either!" Nicole said.
Minami looked genuinely confused at this revelation.
"..But the circle...should be dry now. The Paint I use always dries within 2 hours." Minami said.
"...I guess one of us who was awake tampered around with the art room." Sidra guessed.
"the only people he knew of that were awake were...Myself, Kazumi, Sidra, and Manuel." Yaruda said.
"I was in the theatre and was found by him and Kazumi." Sidra said.
"I wasn't even near the art room when I woke up and met up with Yaruda." Kazumi said.
"I found myself at the entrance of the second floor before I found the four in the art room." Manuel said.
"I was on the fourth floor, and found Kazumi before I found anything else." Yaruda said.
"Fujiko was awake aswell, wasn't she?" Sidra asked.
"She was, but she also had a bloody wound on her chest." Yaruda said.
"Her being able to go all the way to the art room while she still had the wound to set some shit up and then go back to where she was shouldn't be that farstretched. Especially given that Kita attacked her." Sidra said.
"...What do you mean by that?" Fujiko asked Sidra.
"I don't know, I'm just trying to find a connection into all of this." Sidra said.
"Someone here is definitely lying. We have just to find out who." Huang said.
"It's Fujiko."Minami said.
"...What?"Fujiko asked.
"I don't know when, and I don't know how. But Fujiko must have killed Kita somehow."Minami said, her eyes turning dull.
Fujiko's lip stiffened as she stared straight at Minami, no words leaving her mouth.
"If you don't know how, then you can't really say that Fujiko did it, can you?"Yaruda asked.
"But it had to be her." Minami said. "Everyone else was knocked unconscious by the gas, Fujiko was the only one who wasn't affected by it!"
"You and Kita weren't either, were you?" Sidra asked.
"I.. I.. I don't know why that is!" Minami exclaimed- the waterworks still gushing out. "But if we weren't knocked out by it, then who's to say that Fujiko was either? We don't know what that machine Huang broke even did!"
Fujiko was still silent, just staring at Minami.
And, then she spoke.
"..What kind of gas was that anyway?" Fujiko asked. "Some kind of sleeping agent or knockout gas? it can't have been the neurotoxin, or else we'd all have died..."
"Even now I could still feel that shit in my throat. It tastes like the gas a dentist uses to knock out their patients before removing their tooth." Huang said.
"Just General Anesthesia then?" Fujiko asked.
"I kinda filled the physics lab with a bunch of dummy machines in case you'd try to break the neurotoxin machine. You guys lucked out and hit the knockout gas machine!" F revealed.
"This was a mystery that didn't need solving. Did you do anything else?" Yaruda asked.
"Nope. Everything else is on you guys." F answered.
Yaruda then sighed.
"It's strange that Minami and Kita weren't knocked out by the gas, especially when they didn't even leave the room until it all dispersed." Yaruda said.
"They might just have a natural immunity to the stuff." Sidra said, unsure.
"...But still, it had to be Fujiko. She could of.-" Minami said.
"If it was Fujiko, she would of left traces of blood all over the place from floor 4 to 2. She was still bleeding, no?" Manuel asked.
Minami then stumbled a bit for words, before finding none.
"...So, do we have any evidence, that points to anyone?"Nicole asked.
"...If Fujiko didn't move from the greenhouse, then the only person it could be is Manuel. Because he's the only one who was at the second floor." Yaruda theorized. "He could've taken the sleeping pills from the scene, and repainted over the white circle, and injected Kita with something nasty. Kita would have already forced the warehouse open after all, so it is possible."
"That couldn't' be the case though."Nicole said. "Because Manuel was the one that triggered the body announcement when he first looked into the art room."
"And I would of had some paint on my shoes or clothes. I couldn't simply leap from the circle out of the room, I'm old." Manuel said.
Sidra sighed,
"I guess we can't be able to find any evidence connect to anyone." Sidra said, trying to think of something.
"If we can't find out who killed Kita or how she died, all of us will die." Amenhotep said.
Sidra then remembered the dead plants from the greenhouse.
"...Those plants in the greenhouse were dead when Yaruda went there. If it was just anesthesia, it wouldn't be deadly to a plant, would it?" Sidra asked
"...Then, it was a toxin."Yaruda said. "Just not one deadly enough to kill any of us."
"...Is it possible that it was that toxin that somehow killed Kita?" Fujiko asked, looking pale.
"How could that work, That Toxin didn't kill anybody else!.. it didn't kill me, or Huang, who was still in there when everybody woke up. How could it kill Kita!?" Minami asked
"I'm from a different universe in which all the people have different skin colors. It could be that the toxin had no affect on me. Maybe Kita was just really damn close to the machine or something?" Huang asked
"Kita needed drugs to survive, so her physical health was worse than everyone elses naturally. While the smoke on it's own was not enough to kill her, it did likely play a part in it. " Sidra said.
"What else could've possibly killed her!? The Smoke on it's own wasn't enough, I understand that, but..." Minami said.
Still crying, she looked at Sidra.
"..What else could have possible done it?" Minami asked.
"...This is only a theory, it's possible that the sleeping pills she took, combined with the amount of smog she probably inhaled, and her own weak condition.. it might have been a combination of these three things that killed her." Sidra said, looking sad.
.. Minami's eyes turned dull at that revelation.
"...So...in the end...Kita killed herself. So, it's Chou and Dickard all over again?" Amenhotep asked
"..No." Minami said. "..No. NO!
That doesn't answer any questions!" Minami exclaimed. "Why was the Paint Circle still wet!? What's with that hole at the back of her jacket!? What kind of gas was that!?
"The hole on the back of her jacket could've come from anything, maybe she pricked herself when attacking Fujiko in the physics lab, The Paint might not have dried because of the gas in the air, and ultimately, the gas itself doesn't matter."Nicole said.
"But, If the Gas and the Sleeping Pills combined to Kill Kita, then why didn't it kill me as well!?"Minami asked. "I took the exact same dosage of them! It can't have been those that killed her!"
"There's nothing pointing to anyone else!" Sidra exclaimed.
"If.. If the .. If the Gas killed her, then Huang was the Culprit! If it was the pills, then I gave them to her!" Minami yelled. "Maybe.. Maybe Fujiko fought back or did something I didn't notice when Kita attacked her that contributed to her death! It.. It can't just be a accident!"
"Stop. Grasping for straws will not bring your sister back to life. Accept the truth." Kazumi told Minami.
Minami just continued crying.
"...Don't forget that your sister attempted to kill me. If Kita's plan worked and she didn't die, then I would be dead now and you would be looking at your own sister being executed." Fujiko said.
Minami's eyes dulled when Fujiko said that.
Sidra sighed.
"...There were several answered questions about this case, but.. when it comes to Kita's death, this seems to be the only possibility...Being hung upside down, the inhalation of the gas that killed the plants and knocked everyone else out, and the sleeping pills. it was a combination of these three things that killed her. This death was a accident. One that was attempting to cover up a murder that never even happened." Sidra said.
"Then who do we vote for in the event that the murder is a accident?" Nicole asked.
"Simple, the person responsible for this loss of life is the murderer. Accident or Deliberate." F responded.
..Minami, now just crying silently shrank into herself.
"Who could be considered the person responsible for this?" Fujiko asked.
"The only one to consider responsible...would be Minami." Amenhotep frowned
Sidra din't look exactly happy about this outcome but sighed and slowly nodded
Minami.. didn't object.
"...Wha...NO! Minami didn't kill her own sister! that just.. that just doesn't add up! Clearly the person responsible for this is either Huang or Kita! If it weren't for Huang busting that machine open, none of this would've happened, and it wouldn't have happened if Kita didn't try to kill Fujiko either!" Nicole said.
"If I din't do that, all of us would of basically died. Is that what you wanted?" Huang asked
"I didn't want any of this shit!" Nicole said.
"Technically, there's three possible people responsible for this. Huang, Kita, or Minami. It's a combination of all of their actions that led to this happening. In this case, are they all technically the killer?
"Telling you all before you vote would be illegal." F said.
"Then vote for Kita! It was Kita's choice to take the pills after all! and that way, nobody else would have to die!" Nicole said.
Everyone else just looked at each other.
And so, everyone voted.
And the results were...
"...
You know what, I want to try something fun!
The votes were split on this one, so let's see who voted for who!"
...
And then, everyone's faces appeared on the screen, it went through universal order, Minami, Fujiko, Kazumi, Huang, Nicole, Amenhotep, Yaruda, Manuel and Sidra.
..
One by one, it revealed who voted for who.
Minami, who voted for... Minami.
Fujiko, who voted for...Kita.
Kazumi, who voted for...Minami
Huang, who voted for...Minami
Nicole, who voted for...Kita
Amenhotep, who voted for...Kita
Yaruda, who voted for...Kita
Manuel, who voted for...Minami
Sidra, who voted for...Minami
"Well, looks like we have a winner, Minami from Universe 0! That's good, cause if it was Kita, then there would of been no execution for a second time which would of sucked major monkey balls. Thanks guys!" F said
Nicole, looked utterly baffled as she looked at the ones who voted for Minami.
"...Are...Are you guys fucked up in the head!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!?" Nicole asked
"I din't choose Minami because I wanted her to die...Take a good look at her...she is dead inside. She has no one left. Life without her sister is a agonizing despair." Sidra said.
"I tried. But.. Minami voted for herself, that means she's okay with dying, right?" Yaruda asked.
"Just because someone's okay with dying doesn't mean you should just let them! You're sending her to be executed for a accident, what the fuck is wrong with you all!" Nicole said.
Minami said nothing.
"...Any last words, Minami?" F asked
Minami shook her head.
"Well, off you go."
...
Minami was in... a old looking room, with dusty floorboards, and no apparent doors. There were only 3 other things in the room.
A Doll that looks identical to Kita, and a sewing kit.
In that moment, the doll that looked identical to Kita was blown apart- pieces flying everywhere.
then, F walked in; holding a doll of Minami,
she said one thing.
"If you manage to fix Kita's doll, then you can bring your sister back to life."
she took a pin and shoved it into the dolls arm.
A Needle-sized hole appeared in Minami's arm and blood gushered out of it, she grabbed onto it and made her way to the Torso of Kita's doll.
She picked it up, and with a shaking arm; grabbed the sewing it, she picked up the rest of the torso and began to sew it together, while F grabbed another needle and shoved it into the Minami Doll's torso.
Minami, bleeding heavily, made her way to the Doll's right arm and started sewing that back onto it- while F pinned more and more needles into the Minami Doll.
More and More Blood shot out of the Artist, as she made her way to limb to limb, sewing each one together.
Eventually- with holes leaking blood all over her body; she reached Doll Kita's head and stitched that together as well.
She then looked at it, blood dripping from her mouth onto the doll, as she looked at F.
"You missed a piece." F smiled, pointing to a small, almost invisibly speck of fluff that had fallen under a floorboard.
And then, F took the Minami dolls neck and twisted it.
The Real Minami's neck twisted as well, a ugly cracking sound filled the air as she slumped to the ground, still holding the stiched up Kita Doll.
The Monitor then flickered back to normal.
"My, my, what a tragedy.
Hey, just so you know, the paint was only wet because there were still traces of the gas in the building, nobody repainted it; it just never dried.
And also, if anyone wants any of those dolls, they can buy both of them at F's shop. separately, or together as a bargain deal! your choice!"
The Monitor flickered off.
"..Why couldn't this be like Kerigo...?" Nicole asked, brought to tears again. "Or.. Chuo and Dickard?... We.. We could've supported Minami through this... She.. she still could've lived."
Huang, looked pretty pissed off.
"...We will find a way out of this place, one way or another." Huang said, leaving the area.
"If it was up to me, I would of gladly given up my life so Kita and Minami would still be here. Better for the old to die so the young ones can live." Manuel sighed.
Kazumi said nothing as he left the area without a word.
Amenhotep looked sad.
Sidra was simply looking at the ground, looking pretty ashamed with himself.
"I remind you all that Kita had attempted to kill me." Fujiko said, as she left to follow Kazumi.
"FUCK YOU!" Nicole yelled out.
Yaruda just put a hand on Nicole's shoulder before he walked away.
Sidra turned to Nicole.
She simply looked at Sidra and glared at him before running off.
"....Fuck me." Sidra said.
Sidra, Amenhotep and Manuel walked out aswell.
It cuts to the dining hall with the remaining 8
It was pretty damn quiet.
Fujiko still looked nervous.
Eventually, Nicole kicked her food into the ceiling and got up.
"I don't want to talk to any of you fuckers ever again." Nicole said, as she left.
Noone said a word, and eventually everyone else would leave as well.
Everyone just walked into their rooms.
Sidra was looking at Minami and Kita's doors, looking sad. Just as he was happily chatting with Kita about his universe, she and her sister died in the next day.
"...Just when will all of this stop? When will F just stop? Will this really end with everyone dead? Or will we simply have to accept F's proposal of staying here till the day we die? Or maybe we'll eventually find a way out of here which seems unlikely. But, either way, the killings have to stop eventually." Sidra thought to himself
Sidra then sighed as he looked at his own door...before he felt something weird.
He turned his head and saw no one, suspecting that someone was watching him. It was most likely his own paranoia playing tricks with his mind
Sidra then walked into his door and plopped onto his bead and closed his eyes, trying to get his rest before the eventual next death.

F: The Killing Game Chapter 5: Mind-Warped Daily Life
Sidra's eyes slowly opened as he felt like drops of water were hitting against his eyes.
"Ugh...the hell..." Sidra muttered
He slowly opened his eyes, not knowing where he was but the first thing he was were drops of water landing on him
"...It's...raining? Inside the building...or maybe I'm..." Sidra said
When he looked up, there were some sprinklers attached to the ceiling that were currently releasing the drops of water.
It appeared he was in the greenhouse
"Great...false alarm...what am I doing in this place?" Sidra asked
Sidra slowly got up, looking dizzy
"Shit, why does my head hurt...and my leg...huh?" Sidra asked
He looked at a control panel on the wall and there was a bullet stuck in it
He looked down and saw four more bullets. Three bullets that looked clean while one was covered in blood and was away from the other bullets
He spotted a wooden shed that was in the area.
He heard the sound of a foot.
Sidra turned around...and saw Nicole, standing there, her eyes shrunk
"...Nic?...Why do you look so?..." Sidra asked
Sidra slighty turned to what she was seeing...and his eyes shrunk aswell at what he saw.
"...What...what is this!?" Sidra asked.
Everything faded to black.
Two days ago
It was morning time and Sidra woke up from his slumber.
He just stared at the ceiling, not feeling the energy to get off the bed.
It cut to the second floor, where Nicole was holding a baseball bat and looking straight at Fujiko.
"...Are you okay?" Fujiko asked Nicole.
Nicole just turned around
"Do you really give a shit?" Nicole asked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Fujiko asked.
"...You know what forget it. After the last trial, I realized that no matter what, everyone here could easily end up killing everyone else, and half of us wouldn't even feel bad about it. I bet that if you ever killed anyone; you'd try to justify it to yourself time and time again as well, to the point of being willing to throw everyone elses lives away." Nicole smirked
Fujiko looked outraged by that allegation.
"...How...how could you even say that?" Fujiko asked.
Nicole just shrugged her off and walked upstairs.
...
Yaruda was in the cafeteria on his own, until Fujiko walked in, looking annoyed.
"What's bothering you?" Yaruda asked
"Nicole wasn't going to be meeting everyone at the cafeteria..ever, it seems." Fujiko said.
"Why's that?" Yaruda asked.
"She's still angry about Minami." Fujiko said, sitting down
Kazumi entered in the room, followed up by Amenhotep and Huang
"Good morning." Fujiko sighed.
Kazumi nodded as he sat down, Amenhotep simply sighed and Huang was busy giving death glares at the F monitor in the dining hall.
"..Sidra's not here either, today?"Fujiko asked.
"Manuel is not here either." Kazumi pointed out
"Say my name and I appear. Morning, chaps." Manuel said, who was standing near the entrance, holding his bottle of pills
He sat down and put his bottle on the table aswell.
"Why do you always take those pills?" Amenhotep asked
"Besides my age and health, Universe 10 humans are vulnerable to every disease from any other world and could get easily infected. So, best to be safe than sorry." Manuel said
"That was all well and good, but did anyone bother to check to see if a fifth floor had opened up?" Fujiko asked
"Even so, what would be the point? The outcome will turn out to be the same. We check out new floors, try to find measures to prevent murders and yet, a murder still happens and someone is executed. It's the same song and dance and I'm tired of hearing it every day and night." Huang sighed
Fujiko nodded at that,
"And because of that, we aren't even going to check out the fifth floor, any access to that floor is already forbidden, presuming it exists." Fujiko said
"'Presuming it exists' just sounds silly. why ban a floor that doesn't exist?" Yaruda asked
Then the F monitor turned up.
"Not to mention, you would miss all the cool stuff that you can find in the next floor. Maybe you'll also find some familiar faces theeere...so, probably should check that out. Also, you'll get to hear a new awesome motive after you're done searching the place out." F said
The monitor closed off
"...What did F mean by that?" Amenhotep asked
"It doesn't matter what she meant, we aren't looking." Fujiko said.
"That' just stupid." Yaruda said.
"If we're not gonna check out the fifth floor, what should we do for the rest of the day?" Manuel asked
"It doesn't matter anymore. Just don't check out that floor. Me and Kazumi will discuss plans and come up with one later today." Fujiko said.
"Those plans..don't work, ever." Yaruda said.
"Whenever a plan fails, we learn from our mistakes and correct them. We will simply have to correct again and again till it's done right." Kazumi said.
"I agree." Fujiko said
Yaruda simply stared at the two and then got a little closer to Huang.
"Kazumi and Fujiko seem to agree with each other a lot and are always hanging out together." Yaruda whispered
"She is married, you dolt." Huang whispered.
"This isn't what I meant, all I'm saying is that that they are just bias towards each others opinions and couldn't be relied on to point out any faults in any of their plans." Yaruda said.
"...Well, that's true." Huang whispered.
"Both of you. Stop that." Fujiko said.
"If no one will check out the floor, someone should probably get Sidra out of his room. It doesn't seem right for him to keep himself in there like a...a." Amenhotep said.
"A fish in a bowl?" Manuel asked
"Not exactly, but close." Amenhotep said.
"It's his choice what he does, I'm not going to try to intrude." Yaruda said.
And with that, Kazumi and Fujiko walked out of the hall
"Since nothing exciting is gonna happen, I'm gonna stroll around in the building to pass the time a bit." Manuel said as he walked out.
"...I don't know what to do. I guess I'm gonna be on the third floor to watch those...movies." Amenhotep said as he walked out.
"...Kazumi and Fujiko are starting to get on my nerves. They started working my ass off when they first found a computer, and then this. Fuck it, I'm gonna try something." Yaruda said, getting up.
He left, heading towards the dorms.
...
Nicole, still holding her baseball bat; and with a annoyed expression on her face, had entered the fifth floor.
There appeared to be five areas in the fifth floor
One had a note on it saying 'Biology lab'
A door to a room looked like a Shoji door
One room had 'Staff room' on it
One had 'Data processing room'
And the last one had 'Classroom'
Nicole, decided to take a peek into the Data Processing Room first- with her bat at the ready.
When she entered, she found.
A room full of monitors, each showing every floor and every area, including the insides of each person's room.
There was also a monitor that was showing Nicole inside the data room.
Nicole looked at that monitor, and somehow used the angle it was viewing her from to locate where the camera in the room was.
Upon doing that, she looked from monitor to monitor, trying to find basically anything of interest.
There din't appear to be anything out of the ordinary
There were footages of Kazumi and Fujiko talking in the gymnasium
Amenhotep in the movie room on third floor, watching the Ryo and Angel movie
Manuel just walking around with his hands around his back in the second floor
Huang sitting in the rec room, looking at the spot where Chuo's body was at
Sidra, who was still in his room, his face buried in the pillow.
And Yaruda was trying to get into Dimitri's room for some reason.
Nicole then left the room-closing the door behind her and entered the nearest one, the Staff Room.
The staff room had a long table and some chairs around it.
It basically looked like a meeting room.
It was filled with pot plants but besides those, nothing else was there
Nicole Leaves.
Into Shoji Door.
Nicole entered in what appeared to be a dojo room
There was a sword sheath placed on the wall on the right
And the centre wall of the room had a image of a castle with a purple sky, it looked to be from Universe 2
There were two cherry blossom trees on the left and right near the image wall, with petals falling out of the trees
Nicole then left it without doing anything, entering the Biology Lab.
The Biology lab...also happened to be a morgue. A literal morgue
There were 16 fridges in the wall.
8 of them had red visible lights, meaning there were bodies inside them
the other 8 din't have the lights turned on
And it was pretty damn cold inside.
Nicole paled upon entering the room.
She didn't even look into any of the freezers, she knew exactly what was in them the second she entered.
"...What a fucking sicko." Nicole sighed, as she left the room, and entered the last one left.
The Classroom. Pretty strange that there was a single classroom in this strange building.
It looked like a ordinary classroom.
There was a little golden statue of a little bird with a crystal sitting on top of it's head
There were 12 different people drawn on the chalkboard, 6 were males and 6 were females, with the words above them 'Happy Graduation'
Nicole.. looked confused.
She inspected the twelve pictures on the chalkboard.
The people in order were a guy with black hair with ponytail carrying a sword, a blonde girl with a ponytail and blue jacket, a guy wearing a baseball cap with a sword, a red haired girl in a white dress, a nerd with brown hair wearing a glasses, a girl with brown hair wearing a pink shirt with a bandaged right arm, a girl with brown twin-platted hair and glasses, a fat looking guy with glasses, a girl with red eyes, black hair with two hair horns, dressed as a maid, a midget, a little girl with pink hair and a blonde guy.
"Did you know that there are 12 omnipotents, but also 12 months, and animals in the Chinese zodiac?" F asked. "Also in the western zodiac. It's interesting, right?"
"..This room is a complete waste of time." Nicole smirked; flat out ignoring F as she left the room, heading back to the data procession room.
"Yeah, you keep thinking that, toots."
When Nicole headed back to the data procession room and looked at the monitors
She saw Amenhotep crying at one scene of the movie
And saw Sidra finally getting out of his room and looking at Yaruda.
"...What are you doing at Dimitri's door?" Sidra asked.
"I'm trying something. Dimitri was working on a bunch of shit, right? I was thinking that maybe I could get to it and try to finish what he was building." Yaruda said.
"You would need to get Dimitri's key and I doubt F would give you one for free. Or bust down the door." Sidra said.
"This is what I'm trying to do." Yaruda said.
Sure enough, the door had several kickmarks and dents in it; although not very impressive ones.
"...I could help kick it down...though, at the same time, we might get in trouble." Sidra said
"Fuck it, F never cared last time Someone entered a victim's room. Let's just break in there and grab some gear, it could help us in the long run, right?" Yaruda asked.
Sidra sighed.
"Fine, but if we find ourselves on the chopping block cause of this, remind me to kick you in the afterlife." Sidra said.
Sidra went into his room and pulled out the harpoon he got from the F shop.
He considered it to be a toy like Kita's giant fucking sword but decided to test it on the door regardless.
He used it to piece through Dimitri's door and it worked, making a hole in it
Sidra looked surprised.
"...Guess the harpoon wasn't actually a toy." Sidra said.
Yaruda then smiled; forcing himself through the hole, in the process, destroying the entire door.
He then walked in and just grabbed every single machine he could find; before walking out,and heading towards his own door.
"*Ahem*, I thank you for your assistance in my quest. You will be rewarded sometime soon." Yaruda said.
With that, Yaruda opened his door awkwardly with his foot; since his hands were busy holding Dimitri's half finished machines.
He then slipped into his own room, the door closing behind him.
"Imagine if Yaruda uses that to kill someone, that'd make you an accessory to murder." F smiled, the monitor nearby turning on.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone it was you two."
The Monitor turned off.
..
Nicole just stared
"...F was watching this? but I don't see F anywhere in this room...There must be another room with surveillance monitors everywhere." Nicole thought to herself, before tilting her head to look in Yaruda's room.
He had just collapsed onto his back on his busted bed, all of Dimitri's machines spilled on the floor nearby.
...
Then Nicole looks anywhere else.
There din't appear to be anything new in the fifth floor, or any other clues to where F or a potential monitor room would be.
That seemed to be it.
Nicole just stuck to watching people interact for the time being..
Eventually, she got hungry and went for the cafeteria, keeping her baseball bat on hand.
Huang entered in the cafeteria and saw Nicole.
"Huh, din't expect you to ever show your face to us again." Huang said.
"I'm hungry." Nicole said, as she went to the dining hall and opened some cupboards, looking for something she could eat.
"Have you ever saw anyone seasoning any of these things or even just holding any of these? You can never be too sure after all." Nicole said, for some reason, she was still smirking.
Huang raised an eyebrow.
"...No, I din't. Though, I won't be surprised if someone will try food poisoning as a murder method." Huang said.
Nicole just sighed, grabbing a unopened bag of haribos.
"It's best to eat bagged food, fresh fruit can easily have something slipped in, or a can, can easily have something thrown in there. but if you put something in a bag, the tear is still visible" Nicole said.
"Ill keep note of that and also tell Yaruda about it." Huang shrugged
"..So, about the rest?" Nicole asked
"Kazumi and Fujiko are planning their next 'strategy' on how to stop the next murderer, Manuel is strolling around, Amenhotep is up on the third floor, watching some sappy romantic Universe 3 movie and Sidra is probably still in his room being depressed as shit." Huang said.
"Sidra is kinda being a hypocrite here. Minami was depressed and he votes to kill her, but here he is doing the exact same thing she would do." Nicole said.
"The fish guy feels bad about Minami. It's not like he did it for the sake of being a dick." Huang said.
"That might be true, but what kind of fucked up reasoning is that? 'I feel bad for you, let's vote you in to a execution after already seeing how fucked up the other ones were?' I mean, sure, Kerigo deserved his. But Alistair's was fucked, Sidra helped condemn Minami to a unnecessarily painful death." Nicole said
"The person to blame for that, aswell as for all the deaths is that cunt F, who is basically the number 1 reason all of us are trapped here and wants us all to kill each other for shit and giggles. Plus, who is to say that Minami wouldn't of tried to kill herself if she lived?" Nicole asked
"Maybe, but it would have been less painful, that's for sure. A Noose or a knife is nothing compared to what she went through." Nicole said
"I'm not even sure if she would even be able to find any of those without the Universe 1 and 2 duo sniffing around the place for weapons. Honestly, the way this sick game can end is if we find a way out." Huang said.
"Honestly, maybe Dickard actually had a point about staying in this place. If more people considered, no one would kill each other." Nicole shrugged.
Huang lowered his eyebrows.
"Are you serious willing to stay like a prisoner because of what Dickel-Dick suggested?" Huang asked
"Not because of what Dickel-Dick suggested, simply just out of lack of available options. If someone manages to find a way out of here without killing anyone, then I guess I'll take that chance, but just living here's better than dying. Although honestly, living outside might not be that better either." Nicole said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Huang asked.
"Remember those tapes we got a while ago? that none of us ever looked at? I got curious and looked at a random one of them, and that honestly made it seem like it'd be way safer to just stay here. Universe 8 has been fucking demolished." Nicole said.
"Kerigo mentioned his Universe going to shit and wanted to get out of there to help out his fiancé. If Dimitri's dad who is from 9 found out about his son, that would probably one of the reasons why 8 was destroyed since Kerigo killed his kid." Huang said.
"This is basically what happened, but there was way more contributing to it than just this. Universe 8 is literally under universe 9's control, in a full blown dictatorship dealie. meanwhile, 9 is going to war with 1 over trade units or some shit and from what I know about that place, this war could potentially end the entire multiverse. By the time someone actually gets away with murder there might not be any multiverse to get back to, and if there is; the successful killer would just die with everyone else outside of it." Nicole said.
Huang sighed.
"If you want to stay here, fine, but I sure won't. Wether there is still a multiverse out there or not, I would rather find out myself instead of being kept in the dark." Huang said, before he left the room
Nicole simply sighed.
The F monitor turned on
"Hey, bitches, one of you actually bothered to check the new floor while the rest of you acted like a bunch of girlies without balls..well, you know what I mean by that. And besides that, there is the new motive of the day thing that is still going on by the way. Meet me up in the gymnasium to learn what it is." F said
"...Should we even go?" Nicole asked.
"Why do you ask me?" Huang asked.
Nicole just shrugged at that, and they went to the gymnasium.
Everyone else gathered aswell.
"Hey, dudes. So, I'm not sure if you know this, but one of you has a power and din't bother telling you about it. How rude." F said
"What power?" Kazumi asked
"The power to manipulate one's mental state and make them do something they wouldn't do, like saaay using the power to influence one of you into killing other and it actually happened. Though, I'm not say what case was that though, I'll let you guys guess that on you're own. So, with that said, you guys should probably kill the bastard or bitch before they might use the mental hypnosis ability again. Peace" F said.
F monitor turned off
"...What?" was Huang's only response to this.
"...Alright, I'm out."Yaruda said;clearly not wanting to put up with this, as he left.
Fujiko just looked at everyone.
"...Do you think F was telling the truth?" Fujiko asked.
"Maybe F ia lying just to get ourselves at each other's throats." Sidra said.
"If it was the truth, the thought of one of us being able to control our own mind's actions and commit a murder is quite frightening to imagine." Manuel said.
"...Maybe the mental manipulator was the one who controlled Kita into almost killing everyone last time?" Amenhotep asked
"I don't think that is the case, Kita was behaving in line with how she's been behaving up til then." Fujiko said
"It was Dickard and Chuo's murder." Nicole said, seeming pretty confidet despite not having too much evidence.
"How did you figure that one out?" Huang asked.
"Dickard started acting strange, considering how okay he was with living here; II always found it weird how he just decided to like, suddenly kill a guy." Nicole said.
"If that's case...I would gladly be the one to give the piece of shit a lesson for almost killing me and getting Chuo killed." Huang said, looking angry.
"I think we saw enough murders. Enough is enough!" Amenhotep said.
Huang then looked at Kazumi.
"You know, maybe those bandages aren't hiding wounds, maybe they are hiding perhaps a magic eye that can hypnotize people?" Huang asked.
"You are letting your imagination make up the conclusions instead of using logic, Huang Guzman. What would I get out of murdering both Dickard and Chuo, two people that I barely interacted with? Now then, I have to go to the infirmary to get myself some new bandages. My current ones are gonna expire soon." Kazumi said.
"Someone here might have just wanted them to die because they didn't like them. I wouldn't put it past some people after all." Nicole smirked.
"I doubt Kazumi would have done this, he's been nothing but against murders this whole time." Fujiko said.
"Everyone else was until they decided to actually go through with one! Somebody here was responsible for that murder, and I'm going to find out who." Nicole said.
With that, she turned on her heels and skated out of the room.
Fujiko just sighed, clawing at her forehead in frustration.
Kazumi just left the area without saying a word.
Huang followed him out of the room, glaring at the back of his head.
"Yaruda left after F said the next motive. That's a bit odd." Manuel said as he left
"Nicole's been acting weird aswell ever since the last trial." Amenhotep said.
Sidra was standing there, looking a bit worried about what F said
"...If someone here had a hypnosis power that they used to cause someone to kill someone else, were any of these murders done by anyone that wanted to actually kill...Alistair, Dickard, Kita, then Kerigo? could they all have just been brainwashed?" Fujiko asked
"Somehow, I doubt that. Alistair's love for his family was genuine, I don't think he killed Yoku out of mind control. Kerigo definitely seemed like the type to kill without being influenced. Dickard...well, maybe that was the manipulator's action, and Kita probably did that out of her own will." Amenhotep said.
"This shit is getting crazier and crazier by the second." Sidra muttered.
"You might have a point, but there's nothing to say that this hypnosis doesn't work by latching onto a already existing desire, is there?...With this information, there was no way I could trust anybody. It's exactly what F wants to happen.. but.." Fujiko sighed
With that, she left the room.
Amenhotep looked at Sidra.
"What do you think?" Amenhotep asked.
"...Honestly...I don't know anything anymore." Sidra sighed, as he left the room.
Amenhotep frowned before he left.
It cuts to the dining hall where everyone gathered once more
"...Had there been any changes in guard duty now with Minami and Kita gone?" Huang asked.
"I...hadn't actually updated it yet." Fujiko said
"Is there even a need for guads anymore?" Amenhotep asked.
"It's necessary to avoid being murder in our sleep, even with F's curfew that's been established." Kazumi said.
Fujiko just sighed, before...
"Everyone give me your keys." She said.
"Are you serious?" Yaruda asked, looking annoyed.
"I am, guard duty doesn't work. People just find new times to kill, People that seem likely to murder can be locked in their rooms, and at night, every room can be locked from the outside. That way no one will be able to do anything at night, and, everyone will get to rest." Fujiko said.
Nicole just slammed her bat down on the table.
"There's no way I'm going to let this stupid notion pass, whoever has all the keys could use it to unlock someone's door and kill them in their sleep!" Nicole said
"Yeah, I'm not sure about this." Huang said.
"It sounds reasonable. That way, no one would be able to kill if they're locked in their rooms." Amenhotep said.
Sidra was silent, not really knowing what to say to this
"I also don't trust this idea, the guard duty technically is working; nobody killed at night ever since we started, after all." Yaruda said.
"...You're right. This plan is stupid." Fujiko said
"If someone dies during guard duty, it would be enough to go with plan B, with giving all the keys to Fujiko." Manuel said.
"Unless Fujiko's the killer."Nicole added.
Fujiko looked at Nicole.
"Will you knock it off?" Fujiko asked.
Nicole just flipped her off.
"It's dumb to just overlook possibilities like this." Nicole said.
"I'm getting tired of your shit." Fujiko said.
"You don't think I'm tired of your shit, aswell?" Nicole asked
And with that, Nicole left the cafeteria.
"...Talking to her is like talking to Akemi all over again." Fujiko sighed.
"I checked the guard duty days and it's Fujiko, Nicole and Amenhotep's turn." Kazumi said.
"This will be unpleasant." Amenhotep sighed
"It doesn't seem like Nicole was going to listen to us anymore. Yaruda, can you take over her place?" Fujiko asked.
Yaruda just shrugged in response.
"Frankly, you and Amenhotep are the two who are least likely to kill someone here, but, alright.." Yaruda said.
Sidra sighed in response, still thinking about what F said.
Everyone goes to sleep and Fujiko, Yaruda and Amenhotep are guarding the sleeping quarters
Amenhotep saw that Dimitri's room din't have a door anymore.
"...What happened to Dimitri's door?" Amenhotep asked.
"Yeah, that's weird. it's just a big doorless rectangle." Yaruda said.
Fujiko raised a invisible eyebrow at Yaruda.
"...Whoever broke the door was very disrespectful." Fujiko said.
"Maybe F had something to do with it." Amenhotep said.
"...Why would F do that?" Yaruda asked, sighing
Fujiko squinted in response.
"...I guess we could take a look at it tomorrow morning." Fujiko said. ..
The Next Day.
The first one to merge out of their room was Manuel.
"Good morning." Manuel greeted the guards.
He raised his eyebrow slightly at the missing door before he shrugged and went into the cafeteria.
Then, Nicole woke up; taking her bat out of the room with her as she left to grab some breakfast.
Sidra walked out next, looking like he din't get that much sleep yesterday as he walked into the cafeteria before everyone else joined.
"Hey, so, I'm probably imagining this but...why is the kid's door smashed?" Huang asked
Yaruda just looked at Sidra, while Fujiko spoke.
"I.. Don't know."Fujiko said. "But when I took a look in there, I noticed several items were missing from Dimitri's room. Some of the things he was working on before Kerigo killed him. I can only imagine someone bust his door open to grab some of his devices. Although I am not sure why."
"...Maybe someone here feels vulnerable after learning about F's new motive and wants to be extremely prepared if the one with mentality power strikes again." Sidra said.
"It could be the mental manipulator themselves. It's no coincidence Dimitri's tools went missing after the announcement." Kazumi said.
"It's odd that F never mentioned anything about this." Yaruda said.
"It's not that strange, F has never outright interfered in anything before, why would they start now?" Nicole asked
"If someone had the nerve to get into a dead child's room, we should start thinking about what will happen if one of us decides to burst into another person's room while everyone else is minding their business during the day." Manuel said.
Yaruda then just sighed.
"This person went into The Kid's room to get their tools, right? if they already have those then they have everything they'd need."He said, tapping his glasses. "I doubt they'd find anything as useful as those devices in anyone elses room."
"I'm more interested in how they removed the entire door, than anything else." Fujiko said.
"I suppose one of us purchased a tool from the F shop or someone strong removed it." Amenhotep said.
"We should probably restrict the F shop. Anyone could purchase any dangerous weapons from there." Kazumi suggested
F's monitor turned on.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't fuck with my shop and I won't fuck with your ass. You guys can kill someone, smash stuff, have sex with someone in another room or whatever, but the shop will stay. And also, I won't have anywhere else to drop the objects of the executed dudes. My pockets aren't as big as those guys from those point and click adventure games who shove every item they get in their pants pocket." F said
Monitor then turned off
"Does anyone even use that shop anymore?"Nicole asked. "I swear the only person who ever used it for anything was Alistair."
"I've been there a few times, Kita and Minami purchased their own stuff there aswell and Fujiko's daughter's cakes are there aswell." Sidra said.
Fujiko looked somewhat homesick at that statement.
"I bought a top hat and gave it to Chuo before he died." Amenhotep said.
"Is there anything else? because I'd rather not be anywhere near someone with hypnosis." Yaruda said.
"No, that's about it." Kazumi said.
"F mentioned that someone went to the fifth floor. Who was it?" Huang asked.
Fujiko looked at Nicole, knowing the answer already.
Nicole just looked at Fujiko,
"...What? None of you actually looked? that's stupid." Nicole said.
"What's in that floor?" Manuel asked.
"Check it our for yourselves." Nicole said.
And with that, away she goes.
"...This girl chose the worst time to go through her rebellious phase." A annoyed Fujiko said.
"I can't exactly blame her for this reaction though." Yaruda said.
"...Since Nicole was there, there is a chance she probably got rid of all the dangerous weapons in there so, maybe the floor won't turn into another crime scene." Sidra sighed.
"So far the crime scenes have never actually been on the floors that have opened up. So, yeah." Yaruda said.
"...Just do whatever you all want really." Fujiko sighed.
"With your permission, I'll check out the new floor." Huang said, leaving the room.
"It would probably be best to check the floor for any potential murder items." Kazumi said, before leaving.
Fujiko looked disheartened as everyone went to do their own thing. ..
Nicole was in the data collection room again, looking at all of the monitors.
Yaruda was, predictably, in his room.
Fujiko was still just sitting in the cafeteria, looking over the guard duty roster and making a few adjustments.
Sidra was in the fifth floor, leaning against the wall
Kazumi was in the dojo room, just staring at the wall that was showing the image of portrait of his universe
Manuel entered right into the morgue before immediately exiting out
Huang was in the classroom, looking at the drawings of the 12 people on the chalkboard
Amenhotep was in the staff room, looking at the pot plants.
Eventually, Fujiko went to the fifth floor as well,
and there, she noticed Sidra.
She just waved at him politely.
Sidra just waved back.
"Everyone else is checking out the rooms. This floor doesn't really look that unique compared to the other floors." Sidra said.
"It wouldn't make any difference, most likely." Fujiko said.
Sidra shrugged, looking kinda bothered
"What's wrong?" Fujiko asked.
"...Ever since Minami died, everything has been kinda...falling part. Moreso than usual." Sidra said.
"I'm not surprised. Minami didn't actually Kill Kita, after all." Fujiko said.
"Yeah. And with this mysterious person with hypno power who possibly manipulated some of the killings is causing more tension." Sidra said.
"Despite Nicole's behaviour recently, I do agree with her; nobody should have voted for Minami." Fujiko said.
"...I guess I should of voted for Kita. But, even if she was alive, nothing would of stopped her from ending her life." Sidra said.
"We could have." Fujiko said.
"Well, we won't know that now since she is dead." Sidra said.
Manuel then walked by.
"You could say one last goodbye to her in person." Manuel said.
"...What do you mean?" Sidra asked.
"I looked into the biology lab...and found what F meant about familiar faces." Manuel said.
"...Are you saying that the room is..." Fujiko asked
Manuel simply nodded.
"...This entire situation and everything F is putting us through was complete horseshit, there was no way anyone could benefit from this unless they are seriously enjoying making people suffer." Fujiko grimaced.
"It's true. The only way this could end is if God answered our prayers and showed us a way out... or everyone ends up dead except the last remaining person alive." Manuel said.
Fujiko looked a bit taken aback by that comment.
"...What are you saying that of all things?" Fujiko asked
"Oh, I'm sorry. I went a bit dark there. Truth to be told, this entire situation has been stressing me out and with so many people dying left and right. I shouldn't be affected by this since I myself was exposed to many casualties during the war before I ended up here." Manuel said.
"There's a difference between casualties in a war, and casualties in this place." Fujiko said.
"I guess so. I'm going back downstairs, I saw enough of the place the moment I saw the morgue." Manuel said, before he walked away.
"Hmph, that was weird." Sidra said.
"...It might be worth keeping a eye on him, make sure he doesn't pull anything." Fujiko said.
Sidra nodded as he walked downstairs.
meanwhile, Nicole was still in the Data Collection Room, watching this conversation on the monitor.
After watching it, she flicks through the monitors to see what Manuel went off to do.
Manuel went into the second floor and right into the library.
He sat down and started reading a book about Universe 7's history. Nothing suspicious there
Sidra was standing outside the library so then Manuel won't see him.
Nicole just continued watching the monitors.
Meanwhile, Kazumi walked out of the dojo and came across Huang.
"What did you find?" Kazumi asked
"I found a strange classroom that had a statue of a bird and 10 teenagers aswell as 2 kids drawn on there...though, one of them could actually be a midget and one of them looks like a human version of Yaruda. But besides that, nothing else of interest." Huang said.
Huang then walked past Fujiko and walked downstairs.
Fujiko looked at Kazumi and walked up to him.
And so, the day passed.
Eventually.
"Hey, guys.
Motive of the day,coming up!"
Everyone sighed at the same time before they went to the gym to see what F has in stored for them.
...F wasn't here yet.
"...Where's the fucker at?" Nicole asked.
"Maybe they're gonna try to pull a jumpscare to take us by surprise or is planning a overdramatic intro" Huang said.
"Actually, I was just on the toilet. geez.
Anyway, Motive, here it is."
F sounded kinda bored.
"...Where is it exactly?" Amenhotep asked.
"... Ah, yeah, that's right. it's in your rooms.
I've given you all a fuckload of weapons. Enjoy yourselves."
Fujiko's eyes widened.
"...S-Slow down, what are you talking ab-"
And there goes F.
"...Well." Amenhotep said, looking worried
"...Shit."Yaruda said, looking pretty panicked; but not for the same reason everyone else was. "Shit, Shit, Shit!"
"What jumped up your butt?" Huang asked him.
"...This made our efforts of getting rid of all of the dangerous items completely useless." Fujiko said.
"...What are we gonna do?" Sidra asked.
"We'll simply have to ignore the weapons in our rooms and pretend they don't exist." Kazumi said.
"How could we possible make someone do that?" Nicole asked.
Fujiko began to think.
"Can't we simply just toss all the weapons into the incinerator?" Manuel asked.
"If some of those weapons are explosives, it's gonna be Kingdom Come for all of us!" Huang said.
"...It makes sense to just treat these weapons the way we've treated every other weapon. Dispose of them." Fujiko said.
The monitor turned on
"If you remove any of these weapons then i'll just throw some new ones in, So That'll be a waste of time."
"Thanks, F." Sidra sarcastically said.
"You're welcome. Welp, there are some hot delicious burritos waiting for ya in the dining hall. You should get there fast before Yaruda does." F said
F then left
"What's a Burrito?"Yaruda asked.
"Yes, what is that?" Amenhotep asked.
"It's a Mexican food." Huang sighed.
It cuts to the cafeteria.
"...So, who will be the guards for today?" Kazumi asked.
"Since Minami is dead and Yaruda was a guard yesterday, the ones who will guard will be Huang, Sidra and Manuel." Fujiko said.
"That sounds fair." Yaruda said.
"If Manuel feels tired, he can switch with Kazumi." Fujiko said.
Manuel nodded while Sidra looked at him.
"Whoever tries to take me by surprise with a machine gun during the middle of the night, they can think again." Huang said.
Nicole opened her mouth, about to say something, but ultimately decided against it.
"..So, do we just go to bed now?"Yaruda asked. "Or.. can I continue eating this burrito?"He asked, holding a rather large salad in his hands.
"...That's a salad, not a burrito." Nicole deadpanned. ...
It cuts to night, where everyone was in their rooms, except the three guards
Sidra was simply looking at Manuel who was looking up the ceiling
Huang was leaning against his own room's door, with his hands in his pocket, looking bored.
As Sidra kept looking at Manuel, he started to feel a headache.
Sidra puts his hand on his head, grunting in pain
Manuel turned to him.
"Are you feeling well?" Manuel asked.
"...Ugh, my head feels heavy...and it's...getting worse." Sidra said.
"...maybe you should go to bed and switch with someone else?" Huang asked, raising an eyebrow.
Sidra closed his eyes, the headache he was having was painful...
"Tch...what the, AH!" Sidra said.
...Then he opened his eyes and had a blank expression on his face.
"...Sidra?" Huang asked
Sidra said nothing as he went into his room. Then he came back with his harpoon.
...Before he grabbed Manuel by his neck and slammed him against the wall.
Manuel gasped, as he tried putting his hand on Sidra's grip.
"Are you nuts!?" Huang asked, trying to pull Manuel away from Sidra
Sidra punched Huang, knocking him into Kazumi's door, somehow not breaking it
Sidra, while still holding Manuel ran off with incredible speed, going upstairs.
and then Nicole; who it seems wasn't even asleep, bursted out of her own room, looking at the scene, before she spotted Huang.
"H-Huang?"Nicole asked. "What just happened?"
"I-I don't know, the three of us were here, Sidra started acting weird, then went into his room, grabbed his harpoon, grabbed Manuel by his neck and punched me when I tried to stop him. Then he ran off with the old guy somewhere upstairs!" Huang said
At that moment, Kazumi opened the door, hitting Huang in the process.
Nicole looked shocked to hear this before she looked at the other rooms.
"HEY, ASSHOLES, WAKE UP!" Nicole yelled out
Everyone else walked out of their rooms.
"Ugh, what's going on now?" Amenhotep asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Sidra went loco, grabbed Manuel and fuck off who knows where. I tried to stop him but he was too strong." Huang said.
""...Why would Sidra this with a witness?" Fujiko asked, looking bothered.
"The person with hypnosis is making a move again." Yaruda said, still standing in the doorway.
"Fuck theorizing, this is the time for some action!" Nicole yelled
As she skated out of the hallway, trying to run after Sidra.
Unfortnately, Sidra was too fast for her to catch up.
Nicole decided to go all the way from floor 2 to 5 to check the monitors, to see where Sidra and Manuel will end up at.
Back to the rest.
"What are we gonna do?" Amenhotep asked
"We should split up in each floor, we could be able to find them more faster that way instead of searching one floor as one huge team. I'm gonna search floor 2 with Yaruda." Huang said.
"I'll search floor 3 with Kimura. Amenhotep, you go to floor 4." Kazumi said.
"B-But, why do I go alone?" Amenhotep asked, looking nervous.
"Because Nicole decided to act on her own. Now, let's hurry." Kazumi said.
Fujiko just frowned as she and Kazumi went to floor 3.
..
Nicole checked the monitors- to see if she could find Sidra and Manuel.
While looking through the monitors, Nicole spotted some of the group members who were in different rooms in each floor.
Sidra and Manuel weren't in any of the footages though, there was a monitor that showed only static instead of footage. it was the monitor that was showing the greenhouse from floor 4.
Nicole, immediately putting two and two together, skated out of the room; still holding her bat, and almost tripped down the stairs.
She bursted into the fourth floor.
Amenhotep walked out of the music room and was pushed past by Nicole, knocking him on the floor and made a beeline for the greenhouse.
Nicole bursted into the greenhouse and her eyes shrunk at what she saw
While she was staring, it appeared to be raining in the greenhouse, but the rain was actually coming from the sprinklers attached to the ceiling
There was a bullet stuck into the camera on the ceiling that was recording the greenhouse
There was a wooden shed that was visible on the right of the area
Nicole then turned her stare to Sidra, who was on the ground and had a visible bruise on his forehead.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked up, confused.
"Ugh...the hell..." Sidra muttered
Sidra then looked around, seeing the rain.
"...It's...raining? Inside the building...or maybe I'm..." Sidra said
When he looked up, he saw the sprinklers
"Great...false alarm...what am I doing in this place?" Sidra asked
Sidra slowly got up, looking dizzy
"Shit, why does my head hurt...and my leg...huh?" Sidra asked
He looked at a control panel on the wall and there was a bullet stuck in it
He looked down and saw four more bullets. Three bullets that looked clean while one was covered in blood and was away from the other bullets
He looked at the wooden shed next
Nicole stepped back a bit.
Sidra turned around and looked at Nicole.
"...Nic?...Why do you look so?..." Sidra asked
Sidra slighty turned to what she was seeing...and his eyes shrunk aswell at what he saw.
Manuel was laying on the ground, his throat was slashed, Sidra's harpoon stuck in his chest and also laying in a pool of his own blood that was being quickly dried off by the sprinklers
"...What...what is this!?" Sidra asked.
Nicole then immediately started crying, and forgetting that she was wearing roller skates, slipped as she ran right out of there and proceeded to make a mad dash down the stairs...
where she slipped, and tumbled down them, landing face first at the third floor entrance.
Fujiko and Kazumi turned their heads at the loud crashing noise Nicole made.
"Nicole!" Fujiko said.
They both ran up to Nicole, helping her get up.
"Are you okay?" Fujiko asked.
Nicole was still crying.
"...He...he is dead." Nicole muttered.
"Who?" Kazumi asked
"Manuel! He's dead!"Nicole screamed. "Sidra shot him with a harpoon!"
"...What?"Fujiko asked. "N-Nicole, where is he!?"
"The.. The Greenhouse.."Nicole muttered
"We need to get there. Now." Kazumi said.
Fujiko nodded as they ran up the stairs while Nicole continued crying
Huang and Yaruda arrived on the floor aswell, before they spotted Nicole.
"...What's wrong? What happened?" Yaruda asked Nicole.
On the fourth floor.
Amenhotep, after being pushed, slowly got up and moved out of the way as Kazumi and Fujiko ran past him.
"W-wait, slow down! What's wrong?" Amenhotep asked, as he went after them.
They entered in the greenhouse and Fujiko gasped when she saw the dead Manuel.
Sidra, who was standing in front of Manuel's corpse, slowly turned around to them, with a look of confusion and fear when he looked at them.
"...I...I...this...this wasn't..." Sidra said
"This wasn't What?"Fujiko asked.
"...I...I remember being in the hall with Huang and Manuel...my head started feeling foggy and painful...then...I..I...woke up here and saw...S-SHIT! WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I REMEMBER ANYTHING!" Sidra yelled, holding his head.
Huang, Yaruda and Nicole eventually arrived there aswell and both their eyes widened when they saw the scene while Nicole looked the other way
Kazumi simply walked up to Manuel's corpse and crouched down, starting to get a good look at it.
"That is one of the worst excuses I have heard in my life."Fujiko said.
"I'M TELLING THE TRUTH, GODDAMNIT! I CAN'T REMEMBER SHIT! IF I'M LYING, EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THERE IS A BRUISE ON MY FOREHEAD AND WHY THE HELL MY LEG HURTS LIKE HELL!?" Sidra yelled out, who was on the verge of tears.
"...Maybe he is telling the truth and doesn't know anything. This could be like Dickard again. The hypnosis asshole controlled Sidra into killing Manuel, right?" Huang asked.
"I'm not sure what to believe in right now." Amenhotep said, looking sad.
"...Why are the sprinklers on? Also, why hasn't F announced that a body was found?" Yaruda asked.
"...Manuel's still alive?"Fujiko asked, sounding somewhat confused- as she went over to Manuel to search for a pulse.
There was definitely no pulse on Manuel.
He was definitely dead.
The F monitor then turned on.
"Ugh, sorry, toilet trouble. Damn, that burrito gave me the mother of all Diarrhea. Oh, look, a body has been found. Well, now the group is officially out of old people. Welp, you know the drill, one hour and then it's trial time, baby." F said
F left
Sidra appeared to be experiencing the biggest mindfuck of his entire life
"...It wasn't...me..." Sidra said.
End of Daily Life

F: The Killing Game Chapter 5: Mind-Warped Killing Life
It cuts back to the group who were still in the greenhouse.
With a very confused Sidra, who is right now the main suspect of being Manuel's killer.
Kazumi was still checking Manuel's corpse
"A investigation shouldn't really be necessary. We already found the killer." Fujiko said.
"I know this may look like it, but I din't do it! I ask you guys to trust me on this one!" Sidra said.
Nicole, still not trusting anyone, was searching the area for any weapons; or any more signs of a fight.
"Well, last time; the person who was being brainwashed was still the killer, so.." Yaruda said.
Huang turned to Amenhotep.
"Have you saw or heard anything? You were on the fourth floor too, right?" Huang asked.
"I was in the music room, looking around for Sidra and Manuel. Then, all of the sudden, I heard the sound of someone running in the distance." Amenhotep said.
"Did it come from the greenhouse?" Huang asked.
"I wasn't sure. When I walked out of the room and tried to check, I got pushed on the floor by her." Amenhotep said, pointing at Nicole.
"Yeah, sorry." Nicole shrugged while looking at all the bullets.
There were atleast 6 bullets in total in the greenhouse
One that was currently stuck in the camera that was showing the greenhouse in the monitor room
One that was in the control panel that most likely activated the sprinklers
And the three clean bullets on the ground and the sixth one was a bit far away from the three bullets and was covered in blood. It was red, not blue like Sidra's
Yaruda then went over to Kazumi, and looked over Manuel's body himself.
Fujiko just kept her eyes on Sidra.
"Manuel's neck was slashed and Sidra's harpoon pierced through his chest. The pool of blood that came from his body had been dried off by the sprinklers." Kazumi said.
He then looked at Manuel's right hand which was covered in blood.
"Manuel's right hand doesn't seem to have any cuts or any scars at all, but it definitely was his own blood. However, I'm not certain if the harpoon was used on his throat or chest first." Kazumi said.
Sidra then went over to Manuel's body and Fujiko followed him.
He looked at the neck slash.
"...The cut on his throat doesn't look like any cut my own harpoon would make." Sidra said.
Nicole then walked over, and..
"I don't see any bullet wounds."She said.
"Why would there be bullet wounds?" Fujiko asked.
"Because there is a bloody bullet over there." Nicole said, pointing at it.
"My blood is blue, not red." Sidra confirmed.
Kazumi checked Manuel's body.
"...There aren't any bullet wounds on his body. What about you?" Kazumi asked Sidra.
"The only wounds I have is the bruise on my forehead and my knee hurts." Sidra said.
"I don't see any gun in here." Huang said.
Amenhotep turned his head to the wooden shed.
"Maybe the gun could be in there?" Amenhotep asked.
"...Was the shed even there before?" Huang asked, not recalling ever seeing that shed in here before.
Fujiko then walked into the shed, looking inside it for any potential clues.
It looked like a ordinary shed inside.
It had some bags but din't look important to the situation, a pickaxe, a lawnmower.
There appeared to be a outline on the dusty wall. It looked like a shovel
"...Everything else is here, except a shovel." Fujiko said.
Huang went behind the shed and stopped.
"...I think we may of found it." Huang said
The shovel was there, plunged right into the ground that was currently covered by dirt.
Everyone else walked behind the shed and looked at the ground.
"...Was that always covered in dirt? There might be something buried under that." Fujiko said.
"I don't know, but considering that none of us are missing and the dead guy is right there, there is no chance of a dead body being buried here." Huang said, looking relieved.
Huang then started digging up the ground and after they got rid of the dirt.
They found the gun, aswell as a sword that was covered in blood.
"There is the gun...and a sword?" Huang asked.
Fujiko inspected the weapons.
The gun was missing 6 bullets, the same amount of bullets that were in the greenhouse
The sword looked like an average sword except it had blood on it
"...What could this mean?" Amenhotep asked
"...This means that someone was here besides me and Manuel. The blood on one of the bullets and the bloody sword are enough to prove that." Sidra said.
"Who else could have been with you two? Everyone else was either together or has something that proves they weren't in here." Yaruda said.
Sidra turned to everyone.
"Where were all of you when me and Manuel took off?" Sidra asked.
"I was on the second floor with Yaruda. I was in the art room while he was in the library." Huang said.
"Me and Kimura were on the third floor. I was in the theatre while she was in the physics lab." Kazumi said.
"I was on the fourth floor, in the music room." Amenhotep said.
"I went to the data collection room to see if I could find where you two went. the monitor that showed the greenhouse was all static'd up, so. Wasn't hard to guess where you two were at." Nicole said.
"Do you have any way to confirm this?" Fujiko asked.
"I did push past Amenhotep on my way to the greenhouse." Nicole said.
"She's telling the truth. I have dust on my clothes to prove that." Amenhotep said.
Sidra just looked at everyone else to see if there were any bullet wounds on them but they din't
He sighed.
"...One way or another, even if I don't know how I ended up here, I am very sure that I did not kill Manuel. And I will do everything in my power to prove that I am innocent, even if most of you don't trust me anymore." Sidra said.
"Right now, I just can't think of anyone besides you. You are the most likely culprit." Fujiko said.
"There isn't anywhere else to look at here." Huang said.
"Let's check Manuel and Sidra's rooms, aswell as everyone else's rooms." Kazumi said.
"Why?" Amenhotep asked.
"F gave us a lot of weapons. The gun and the sword could of came from our rooms." Kazumi said.
"I'm going to check out Manuel's room." Nicole said.
"Guess I'm going to check Sidra's then." Yaruda said.
"I could stay at the crime scene then." Fujiko said.
"Guess I'm gonna check out everyone else's rooms to see if the two weapons came from there." Huang said.
"I will check out the rooms aswell." Kazumi said.
Amenhotep simply nodded.
"...I'm going with Yaruda. I'm basically a suspect anyways." Sidra sighed.
Yaruda looked slightly nervous as everyone went to check out the rooms.
Apart from Fujiko, who remained with the corpse. ..
Huang, Amenhotep and Kazumi were currently searching the rooms that weren't Sidra and Manuel's
Yaruda and Sidra were now in Sidra's room
Sidra's room had some weapons that appeared to be from Universe 12, given to him by F of course. However, there weren't any signs of the gun and the sword being from Sidra's room
The Fujiko file and Sidra's loved one letter were on the table.
Yaruda often peered out of the door, to see if anyone had entered his room.
He then turned to Sidra.
"To be honest, I'm pretty sure you got hypnotized by whoever has that ability. You have amnesia the same way Dickard did, and there's no way anyone acting under their own free would attack anybody out in the open; especially in this place." Yaruda said.
"This must be the case since I really can't remember anything else after I got the headache during guard duty. I wouldn't do something as stupid as that....But if I did kill Manuel...I'm basically screwed, even if I was controlled." Sidra said.
Sidra then looked at the loved one letter on the table.
"...I may not get to see my family again...Shit, I can just picture how this trial will turn out." Sidra muttered, crossing his arms and closed his eyes, as he began imagining the outcome to this trial.
"He is guilty! There is no doubt that! Only he could of killed Manuel!" Nicole said.
"Hold on a minute! There's more to it than this! Just let me figure this out!" Sidra said, grabbing onto his podium.
"There's nothing to figure out, you two-faced shit! You are the murderer, plain and simple!" Nicole said.
"I can't even stand to look at you, anymore." Fujiko said.
"Well, seems like you guys made up your minds about who the killer is. Time to vote!" F said.
Everyone voted and the guilty one...was Sidra Harpo.
"We have a winner! Sidra Harpo from Universe 12." F said.
"...No, this can't be how it ends." Sidra said, with white eyes.
"It's punishment time, bud!" F said.
It cuts to Sidra who was hanging upside down above a aquarium filled with mutated piranhas.
F lowers him in the aquarium and Sidra fights off the piranhas but he gets overwhelmed by numbers and the aquarium's pool turns into dark blue, Sidra's blood.
F pulls Sidra out of the aquarium and it's a skeleton of Sidra with bugged out eyes and torn pants.
The monitor switched back to F.
"Now with Sidra gone, it's just you 6 fuckers left. So, are you guys gonna stay here? Or are you gonna keep killing each other till there is no one left?" F asked.
"Obviously, we won't stay here." Huang said.
"...It would probably be for the best if we stay here. Killing each other over this just caused us a lot of pain. We...should probably just accept our fate." Fujiko sighed.
Kazumi nodded in response.
Huang looked annoyed.
Yaruda and Amenhotep looked unsure while Nicole was glaring at the monitor.
The image of the trial then changed to what appeared to be a photo of the survivors who decided to stay in the place forever. Each of them looked different now.
Nicole had shorter hair and was wearing shades.
Yaruda was thinner and had longer spikes that resembled long hair.
Amenhotep looked old, his beard was now grey.
Fujiko let her hair down and was wearing a blue sleeveless dress. The only change to Kazumi was that his hair was now shoulder length.
Huang din't appear to be in the photo or were any indications that he took the picture, but in his place, was a black haired little boy wearing a blue and red yukata with clawed hands, who had a stern look on his face as he was staring the camera dead in the eye and-
"Um, Sidra?" Yaruda asked.
Sidra, who appeared to have zoned out, snapped out of his imagination and looked at Yaruda.
"Oh, right. So..." Sidra said.
"Right now, I have no idea who to suspect. Do you know if there is anyone here who could have a hypnosis power? Right now my prime suspect is Fujiko; because Kazumi has been going along with her since the start, but, there was always the chance Kazumi was just crushing on her." Yaruda said.
"Before guard duty, me, Fujiko and Manuel were on the fifth floor. Manuel said something that bothered us both, he said that the only way the killing game will stop if they find a way or everyone dies except the last person alive, which made us quite suspicious of him. Fujiko told me to keep an eye on Manuel." Sidra said.
"What, so, you're suspecting Manuel?"Yaruda asked. "He's the victim this time round. It can't be him."
"...I wish I could be able to remember just what happened in there. Then we would know the answer." Sidra sighed.
"Maybe you could try to concentrate and try to remember what happened. The memories of when you were brainwashed should probably still be there in your head." Yaruda said.
Sidra nodded as he closed his eyes and focused, trying to remember any bits of what happened while he was controlled.
Eventually, something popped up in his mind
SHOT!
CRACK!
The memory was now presented from Sidra's own persespective.
Manuel was seen, inside the greenhouse, with his back turned, holding the gun at the ceiling, with smoke coming out of it.
"And that takes care of the camera. Now then, it's time we end this foolish game for good. Right, Sidra?" Manuel asked.
Manuel turned around to Sidra's direction, his eyes were glowing yellow.
He furrowed his eyebrows and was clutching his gun for some reason
Then everything went black though despite that, a gunshot was heard.
Manuel was heard, gurgling.
"...Ah!...You...You...b...b...aaahhh..." Manuel's voice said.
Then, a noise of something hitting the ground was heard.
Sidra reopened his eyes, gasping.
Yaruda looked concerned.
"What was that about? Did you manage to remember something, because it sounded like you did." Yaruda said.
"...I...remember a bit. I saw Manuel, in the greenhouse, he had the gun, pointing at the camera, before saying to finish off the killing game. Then he turned around, his eyes were glowing and looked angry at what he saw...then...everything went black, a gunshot was heard, Manuel was gurgling, saying 'You', then something hit the ground and...that's it." Sidra said, looking confused.
"...Do you know what could of hit the ground?" Yaruda asked.
"I couldn't see. But if I had to guess...it was Manuel who fell. Either I actually killed Manuel...or there actually was someone in the greenhouse." Sidra guessed.
"...But who could it be if it wasn't you?" Yaruda asked.
It cuts to Nicole, who was in Manuel's room, basically the cabin room.
The fireplace was still lit and there were pieces of burning paper there.
The weapons F gave Manuel were sitting in the corner of the room
There was a picture of a crown with 5 jewels on it laying on the table, right beside Manuel's bottle of pills.
And Kerigo's file with Manuel's letter from F's first motive were placed on his couch, the letter was from someone called 'Erika LeJean' Nicole read the letter from Erika LeJean, curious to see what it said.
"I know you are still alive. I don't buy that you just vanished off the face of the Earth. Those Unigard people will eventually pull you out of your hiding hole and you will be put on trial for what you and Callus did. I thought I could trust you, Manuel, I really believed that...but it doesn't matter now. From the very start, you were a treacherous snake."
-Erika LeJean
"...Hm."Nicole said to herself, as her eyes were drawn to the fire.
She; not wanting to be burnt, tried to see if he could read the paper that was in the fireplace.
From what she could be able to gather, the paper looked identical to the file that Chuo had on Manuel. However, most of it was hard to read since some of it was destroyed by the fire.

Nicole stared at this, pretty confident she figured out what some of the words meant, before she opened up the room; hoping to attract the attention of someone who was currently between rooms.
"Hey," She said to the first person she saw, who happened to be Amenhotep. "You might want to see this."
She gestured him into the room and showed him the burnt file.
Amenhotep looked through the fire, while keeping his distance away.
:...It looks like Chuo's file, but I never saw Manuel taking the file out of Chuo's room. I was there myself when we were trying to find clues to who killed Dickard and Chuo." Amenhotep said.
"Well, it's there. In the fireplace. Sooo..." Nicole said.
"..So what?"Amenhotep asked- confused by her not finishing her sentence.
"Looks like somebody missed something important." Nicole said.
"What do you mean by that?" Amenhotep asked.
"Ugh, look, just bring the 'file' from Chuo's wrecked place and I'll tell you what I'm trying to say in a few seconds." Nicole said, looking annoyed.
"Um, very well." Amenhotep said.
Amenhotep went out of the room and slowly got in Chuo's destroyed room.
Three minutes passed and he brought the Manuel file, which somehow survived the room's destruction, to Nicole who read it.
It looked similar but some of the cut out words from the burnt file were missing in the file Amenhotep brought
"...Yup, this file is a fake alright. This one in the fireplace is the real one." Nicole said
"How can you be so sure?" Amenhotep asked.
"It's hard to tell, but the handwriting was off. Also, why else would be there be a eerily similar paper in the fireplace? Doi! Manuel clearly found the file before anyone else did and disposed of it, replacing it with a forgery!" Nicole said, reaching the likely conclusion.
Amenhotep looked a bit shocked to hear that.
"...But...why would Manuel do that?...Though, he was the first one to get Chuo's key and went to his room before we could of..." Amenhotep said.
Amenhotep then turned and spotted the crown picture on the table.
He picked it up and looked even more confused.
"...This...this is the Crown of Deity, this was also made by Kamest. Why in Isis's name would Manuel have this in his room?" Amenhotep asked
"What can the crown even do?" Nicole asked
"The crown has the power to make anyone into a powerful god, extending their own ability or power to godhood, turning them into more powerful beings than Omnipotents. The crown works as long as the five jewels are attached to it. The old pharaoh, before Hikrat, forced Kamest to make the crown to make himself power but was taken down before that could happen." Amenhotep said.
"Whoever made that sounds like someone who was technically a genius but also the stupidest person alive." Nicole said.
"Kamest was forced to make the crown or else the pharaoh would of took his head. Kamest split the jewels into different universes so no one else would get to them. Plus, Kamest is now dead so no one knows where the jewels except their own dead creator." Amenhotep said.
"It's still dumb. If anyone found those jewels major shit would go down." Nicole said.
"I don't think they would be that easy to find." Amenhotep said.
He then looked at the F's weapon pile.
"Did the gun or the sword come from that pile?" Amenhotep asked.
"I din't check that out yet, but I guess we have to." Nicole said
As she said that, she went to check; although she had no idea how she'd really be able to tell.
Most of the weapons were guns, knives and there was a giant fucking bazooka in the middle of the weaponry
One gun was the same model as the one found in the greenhouse
"There is a matching gun to the one from the greenhouse, but I don't know if that really meant anything." Nicole said.
"I suppose that's all we can find in Manuel's room then." Amenhotep said.
He then noticed the Kerigo file on the table.
He picked it up and tossed it right into the fireplace before he walked out of the room
And, Nicole leaves as well. making sure to memorize the burnt papers.
Everyone else except Fujiko were outside the rooms.
"None of the weapons from the other rooms were touched. The gun and the sword weren't from those rooms." Kazumi said.
"I checked Yaruda's room. I couldn't really see anything with all the weapons being all over the place. You should tidy up your room once in awhile." Amenhotep told Yaruda.
"Hey, it's my room, I'll arrange it how I like it." Yaruda said, folding his arms.
"We found a gun in Manuel's pile that resembled the one found in the greenhouse. Not sure if the gun was actually Manuel's or something." Nicole said.
"We still don't know where the sword came from. We should search out the others floors and-" Huang said.
F's monitor turned on
"Aaaand time's up. Get your butts to the trial grounds to reveal who was the dude who had the nerve to kill another elder. Unless Sidra feels like confessing right now. Anyway, see ya at the trial!" F said
F's monitor turned off
"...They really love taking the piss out of this, don't they?" Sidra asked, looking annoyed.
when they got to the elevator...
Fujiko was there, already standing inside of it.
"...This...just keeps happening. But this time...there was really nothing I could've done, was there?" Fujiko asked
"I can assure you that this wasn't your own fault here." Kazumi said, as everyone entered inside and they descended to the trial grounds.
While the elevator was going down.
Sidra put his hand on his head, feeling yet another headache.
A new memory popped up. It was black but he could hear voices
"What are you gonna do? Drag me out of here and have me executed for the deaths of Chuo and Dickard?"
"Don't take me for a moron"
Sidra then opened his eyes, heavily breathing
"...Are you okay?" Amenhotep asked.
Sidra looked at everyone else.
"...I'm very sure that someone was there in the greenhouse, besides me and Manuel. And I will prove it right here and now. And whoever thought that they can take advantage of my confusion to pin the crime to me can think again." Sidra intently said.
"We'll see if you are telling us the truth or not." Fujiko said, glaring at him.
They arrived in the trial grounds.
Which now looked like the area of a Ice castle, with windows made out of tough glass, with mutated fish who were swimming in the water.
In Minami's place was a picture without a x, just blacked out. And in Manuel's picture; he had a single thick line covering his eyes.
"Again, Again, Again, I'm getting sick of this."Fujiko said, getting even more visibly annoyed.
"Yeah yeah yeah whatever bub, I have a schedule to keep."
Sidra just looked at everyone else.
He wasn't sure who could of been there who possibly killed Manuel or if he actually killed him
But, now, it's time to find out.
End of Killing Life
