Well, well, well. This was a much better showing. A few of you even rose up above the level of the rest of the 0's.


Of course, doing the work right doesn't matter if the answer is wrong.

INNOCENT

Execution: Connect the Dots

Savage finds himself on some very large graphing paper; so large, he can lie down between any two points. Savage picks up a very large pencil lying on the ground next to him, and hears Sho's voice:

"You have 5 minutes to complete this 400-number connect the dot, or be executed."

Bracing himself, Savage finds the first number, and makes a mad dash to start the connecting. On to the second, third, fourth, and so on he does, seemingly moving faster than a hurricane. He sets the pencil down after completing the puzzle - with two-and-a-half minutes to spare.

"Well done" Sho says, "It seems your plotting skills are as masterful as you'd have us believe. But what exactly did you plot out?"

Tracing his steps, and keeping a mental picture, Savage starts over at the first point, moving to the second, the third, the fifth, - wait, no, the fourth, then the fifth, the sixth, and so forth. Savage doesn't get a clear picture of what he drew, so he tries again; starting at 1, moving to 2, 3, 4, 5, 86, - wait, what? Savage doesn't remember 86 being where point 6 should be. He starts over - and finds that the same thing happens at point 281, where he instead finds point 154. Over and over he counts and counts and counts, regardless of hunger, or tiredness, or any other needs. Then Savage realizes that all dots are one. We are all one dot. Your dot is not my train but my coconut milkshake is banana bread's storage cabinet. The meaning of life has been revealed, and Savage walks off into the sunset, consuming him instantly.

You know the drill, Blackened.

As for everyone else. Thank you for a much better Trial, even though ya still were wrong. I have plans to make the next one even better, so long as you all continue being as diligent as you were this time.

A couple tips for the future:
- Camera feeds are important. Hackers probably shouldn't be doing anything else.
- Ask as many questions as possible while investigating bodies. There may be more than meets the eye, even with a thorough search, unless you really start specifically looking for/at stuff.

"Welp," Matsuda said, "That sucks."

"We have one more shot at this, people. I suggest you make every second count."


(OOC: By the way, Savage mentioned during the trial that the murder weapon might be on the killer. Could that be a possibility and, if so, could we search someone?)

"Well, I knew in the end he couldn't be the blackened as I announced after I revealed his peculiar behavior. I didn't want to say what it was for Savage could use it as a defense for himself. It's not that I desired for him n to get executed; it's just I wanted Savage as well as everyone else to look for it themselves. But I suppose no one was able to find it out.

"Sorry, Savage. May you rest in peace."

[Sheep]

"Oh. I-I just want this to be over with already..."
Utsu sighed. 

[Tetsu]

"W-w-we were wrong?! Damnit! We just took out another innocent friend." Tetsu sighs.. "I-I don't think I..." he trails off

[Monotaro]

Tsurugi folds his arms over his chest, and his brow becomes heavily furrowed upon hearing Savage's innocence.

"...So this is what it feels like when you take someone's life. Is that why you kept me alive, host? To put me through the pain of killing someone that stuck up for me last trial?"

"Although, the information retrieved from this trial was invaluable. At least we have a narrow list of suspects, and an abundance of clears to go off of. I think we can safely conclude that one of the bookshelf visitors is our culprit."

"It's only a matter of deduction at this point. Although, I have faith in our trackers, since I believe all of them are confirmed innocent except for Cathell, so that should prove very useful for next trial."

"Although, I get the feeling that this might be the last you all see of me. I...need to go retire to my room. If anything happens to me...I'll make sure to leave some kind of farewell message. I hope you all consider doing the same, since we now have a certifiable serial killer on our hands..."

[SmolOverlord]

Miyoshi lets out a groan as she tugs on her hair, her eyes closing in regret.

"Damn it... Another innocent soul is gone- We... We have to up our game!"

[Squidzz]

hmm thats unfortunate... but he left us with a hint? A->Y... weird.

[Monotaro]

Well, my best guess is that Savage suspected you, Tamotsu. 'A' probably stands for Allen, and 'Y' is the first letter of your first name, isn't it? Although, I suppose you could argue it could also stand for Miyoshi, but my best guess is that he directed his suspicion at you, which would make sense, considering the votes. Guess Savage really had a thing for being cryptic in his claims. Too bad that got him killed...

Oh well, either way, I'm pretty sure the culprit is among these 5 people: Tamotsu, Silent, Cathell, Miyoshi, and Vinny.

The reason why I don't think it's the other bookshelf visitors (Rinako, Kaname, Chiyoko) is because of Cold's tracker investigation proving John's innocence. John barely went anywhere before entering the Library, he was a very early Library visitor, and these 3 entered BEFORE him and stayed in there the whole time. Also, since the princess stayed in the Media Room for quite a while, I find it reasonable to deduce their innocence from this. If anyone has an objection with this hypothesis, please feel free to speak up.

However, I also think Tamotsu may be innocent because of a tracker report, but it's too early to tell. After all, the e-handbooks of the dead might have been in the Media Room, a place we all had to visit anyway.

Also, I think we still have enough trackers so that we can keep an eye on all 5 as well, and if not, we can always analyze Cathell's next tracker investigation. Also, Cathell, that is something I highly suggest doing next trial, considering you haven't been that helpful to us as a prime suspect, and that benefits the blackened significantly.

[Cathell Ward]

*Cathell nods at Tsurugi*
Right, I'll try to put myself to better use in the next investigation. Just tell me what to do the next time this comes around to pass and I'll assist in any way I can.
Still...we just killed an innocent man...thats...sorta difficult to swallow. Im...Argh, forget it, im going to go do some swordplay practice
*Cathell Draws His Blade and walks off towards the Gym area*

[Tetsu]

Tetsu heard what Tsurugi talked about the cryptic message and then said.." You know, there's another person with an A as their name." He then pointed at the guy in red... "Alucard"...then he kept quiet...and walks off heading towards his room feeling down and thinking that his contribution will never be enough.

[Indrid Cold]

*Cold lets his grin drop a bit while gazing in the direction Savage went. He shakes his head slightly while his gaze grows just a little bit colder. It never really is easy on this side of the game, way back when and now.*

"Well, this is certainly strange. The fact that everyone switched their votes to Savage is quite... uncalming. I will be pursuing my leads in the next trial and... trying my best to prevent this from reoccurring. I suggest you all do the same... for Sycihu's sake, and for the sake of all the dead lost in this death game thus far."

*As Indrid Cold finishes his words, he turns and leaves the trial room, his gait showing his crushed spirit.*

i may not agree with all of your logic, but i do agree the trackers should be on us 5, it'll help us if the killer is one of the 5 and, if not, provide and alibi for the innocents in this group of 5 so we don't wrongly suspect them.

"Tracking me would be a waste of time! What if I look oddly suspicious like Aqua was?! You should track Satori instead!"
