week 1 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 1 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, time shifts. It's a strange, twisting feeling reverberating throughout all in the town, even able to be felt by those still asleep, warping their dreams. Everyone's sense of time is back to normal, and the large grandfather clock in the lobby is gone. Which, here, can only mean the mastermind had a change of heart--or someone is dead. >Investigate? cast setting

I wonder why someone would choose him...

( His room looks pretty normal to him? He was a normal guy? But hmm, let's see what Takao's been writing? Maybe he wrote down notes about suspicious people or something? )

[symbologic]

He was one of the "easier" targets, would be my guess. [Faize gets up off the ground and comes over to examine the letters as well.] He may have had athletic ability, but compared to a lot of the people here, he was just...a normal human.

[minogame]

Hey.

( It's a whisper with a warning. He won't really say anything more in response though. Instead, he makes eye contact with Faize and then glances at Buddy. Don't say that... in front of the normal people... )

[lastgirl]

It's because he was a weakling. An average man without much fighting ability.

[Says "normal human" Buddy.]

[symbologic]

Hm? [He follows Urashima's gaze, though, tbh, he's not sure why he's lookng at Buddy. She's been making pointed sticks??? And is good with blades, according to her profile? He actually wasn't including her in that group, weirdly enough. And her comment proves it.]

I wouldn't go as far as "weakling" but that is precisely what I was getting at, yes. They went after one of us who was the least likely to fight back.

[minogame]

Ah! ( BUDDY, DON'T... ) But he was healthy and strong and really big...

( Those things had to have been in his favor some how... )

[lastgirl]

I've killed bigger men than him. Being big doesn't help if you don't know how to fight.

[She sighs.]

Also he was...nice? Maybe too nice. Before time began going out of order, one of the girls here passed out in the kitchen. He and I were in the area when it happened and his first instinct was to carry her up to her room. He even stood there till she regained consciousness.

Maybe he was tricked by whoever killed him? Not suspicious enough to think something could happen if he was alone.

[vicedirector]

[ They look to be letters to a friend, actually. A MURDERGAME STAPLE. ]

[lastgirl]

[She quickly skims the letters, looking to see if he wrote about anyone in this game. Nothing.]

...Guess he thinks someone can get these to his friends.

[minogame]

( Urashima actually takes the time to read over them once. There's a lot to read so it takes him a while but it breaks his heart when he's finished, )

Then we should find a way out of here and give them to his friends. ( He taps one letter, ) We're from the same country. ( Though, he doesn't quite recognize the specific location... )I can take them.

[lastgirl]

You should let other people from your country know too? In case you die as well.

[Just sayin'...]

[minogame]

Ah... ( Buzzkill... ) There are a couple of people I can ask...

( He didn't want to actually think about that. )
