Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[It's that time again! The Great Detective has been killed, so put those little grey cells to work and find the culprit!]

[Most of the flooding has been stopped as well, though it's uncomfortably damp just about everywhere. Looks like the raccoons only half-assed their cleanup.]

[Speaking of half-assed, where's Tycoon? I mean, broken ones, sure, but has anybody seen him up and about? Looks like you guys might be flying blind this time around...]

[ look man

you don't want to know what ulaz went through for the last key

...actually the briefest of grimaces does in fact cross his face at the thought ]

It is possible more riddles will appear next killing night.

[I'm sorry]

Yeah.

[. . .]

But why? Are they trying to lead us towards the exit, or what?

It may be nothing more than further zuykrult chases. But there is not much else better to do at night regardless.

[ except maybe kill each other, I GUESS ]

[what the fuck is a zuykrult]

If we really want to get out of here, we need to explore all possible avenues.

[. . .]

Why is Minako calling it the "orgasm key?"

[ OK that is definitely a pronounced grimace why this minako why this ]

We found it in a hollow book titled "Mysteries of the Female Orgasm."

[ ...yeah. ]

[ah]

[he sees]

. . . good place to hide a key.

Who was the one who checked it out again?

Those were falsified records.

[YOU GUYS. . .]

I'm not judging, I'm just saying. . .

[ THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT HE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL LAST NIGHT, IT WAS AWFUL ]

Simply put, the entire thing was a farce.

[ at least he got this sweet new machete out of it ]

[congrats on your machete]

There has to be some point to it all.

Of course. The raccoons get entertained by it.

[HE CAN'T. . . EVEN DENY THAT. . .]

They're about to be even more entertained, then.

Because I want to know what's behind that door.

I also want to know. What do you have in mind?

I know what I'm hoping for: an exit.

But what do I actually think it is? I don't know.

An exit would be ideal, but I was asking how you intend to open it.

[ah]

Lockpicks.

[. . .]

Or. . . we could find the keys.

[ Lockpicking is sadly not one of Ulaz's ninja skills because Galra don't use the same kind of locks. ]

I do not expect we could find the keys. Not unless you have also found one of these.

[ Ulaz pulls out... a library card with his name on it in an obviously forged-by-the-raccoons signature. OK then. ]

[it's one of Akira's but hey, he remembers the last time he broke into one of the locked rooms in this school]

[Akira arches a brow]

What's the library card for?

It was part of the puzzles we solved last night. This is how we knew which book to find the key in.

[aaaah. he sees!]

The other keys might be hidden in other places around the school. When all of this is over, we should take a look around.

[ There's not going to be much of a point in looking once all of this is ov--

Oh, right, all of this as in figuring out who murdered Erika. That's a thing they're supposed to be doing. He guesses. I mean, knowledge or death and all but not all knowledge is worthwhile, you know???

Ok ok I guess they have to vote for someone and it might as well be the actual guilty party. ]

Then we should endeavor to solve this quickly. There is a lot of ground to cover.

[VOTING FOR THE GUILTY PARTY IS BETTER THAN VOTING FOR SOMEONE INNOCENT, MAN]

[either way, being reminded of the trial causes Akira's expression to turn a bit more serious, a bit more somber]

Right. We've got a good track record so far, so I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Hm. The previous murders have all been crimes of opportunity, spurred on only by the motives given by the raccoons. [ Except for the Tsugumi and Dazai situation, but that was kind of exceptional in general, and this is clearly not another incident along those lines, so he won't mention that ] But we were not given a motive this time. Despite that, a murder occurred. It was likely motivated by a personal grudge.

...Unfortunately, that will not narrow down the pool of suspects very much.

[ He's sure not going to pretend like he didn't hate her. ]

[Akira bristles a bit at that, because despite most people disliking Erika, he actually kind of. . . liked her. . . or at least, felt for her]

She might not have been well-liked, but I can't imagine anyone here wanted to her dead for personal reasons. Unless there was something going on behind the scenes.
