Chapter 1: The Queen Arises (Trial 1)

[Evie The Bat]

Donny, after a lot of thinking, offers this

“Bas’d on what Lydia said I can think of two things that might’ve happen’d. Mi-Hu was kill’d beginnin’ of A5 by Lydia and she li’d about where she went. ‘Cause she didn’t mention seein’ any blood. Or it happen’d end of A5, which means Henri could’ve done it. Are there any other possible killers here? I still think Thomas could’ve done it”

Suuure... just totally ignore everything about how taking a shower would've left her hair wet.

This is, of course, assuming you even needed to take a shower. Why do you assume the killer would get blood on anything more than their clothes and hands? Even if you did, it's not difficult to take a shower without getting your hair wet.

Putting so much effort into solving the crime

What better way to divert attention from yourself but by trying to put attention elsewhere?

telling you she saw the blood in the elevator

Multiple people investigated the apartments. Lying about seeing blood in the elevator is exactly how you get caught in your lie.


Don't misunderstand me. I'm not pointing fingers yet. You have to understand that you are currently one of, if not the sole, prime suspect. If you can prove without doubt that you could not have done it, then that changes. So far, while you've been trying, you've been unable to do that.

Umm... cause his throat was slit and there were blood splatters in the elevator? I mean maybe if they covered their head and wore long sleeves... I dunno. If I were Mi-hu I wouldn't get on an elevator with somebody all suspicious like that, but he seemed like kind of a dumbass himself so...Honestly, you're asking me to prove she didn't do it, but I ain't got much to go on here. Everything went down like I told you, so all your "Ooooo look at me, the calm, special investigator" stuff really won't change anythin'. You don't think I'm aware I'm grasping at straws here!? The moron literally spent half the night in that damn nightgown, locked in her room trying to make ME go away. If she'd seen anyone on her way out I woulda said so, and if they'd seen her well... they probably wouldn't. The whole "why didn't you mention it earlier thing was BS for meta reasons lol but all the other suspicions are well - pretty normal.

410 looks at Donny. "Why do you think he was killed only in A5? The dead guy coulda kicked it any time after late-A3 when Henri and Lydia went into the elevator which had no blood in it at the time, nyeh. A4 is still possible."

[Evie The Bat]

Donny blushes embarrass’d

“I misspoke that’s my bad...

Anyway, it looks like Lydia left start of A4. So that puts the death time end of A4 to end of A5. Maybe it’s not Lydia unless they kill’d him start of A4 ‘fore they left to paint”

Evelynn looked at Floofybutt in surprise. "Oooo... interesting! So you're sayin' ya don't believe Lydia's tale then. Cause she said that light-ball-thing told her it happened at A5. Or rather, that he was in danger at A5, and I never knew a dead guy to be in danger of anything!"

"Oopsie. Forgot about that, nyeh. Well, I can't rule out princess over there as a suspect, but if it wasn't her, then I guess the murder really did happen at A5. That rules out a few suspects, but it doesn't rule you out, unfortunately. 

If Lydia is telling the truth, according to my calculations, the killer's gotta be Henri, Kokoro, Donny, Thomas, or Red. But if Lydia's lying, well, the killer is Lydia." 410 smiles. "How exciting, nyeh..."

You don't like my thought process, do you? It's not just an act. Let's see if I can't convince you simply by spinning the board around.




Kyrie takes a deep breath, and thinks for a few moments.

"I remember something else too! Just before I heard that wretched sound, I saw something fall past my window!

Mi-Hu was found on his floor, 5 floors up from you. The killer entered Mi-Hu's apartment, and threw something out the window. That something landed on a bush. That something was not bloody, as there was no blood found on the bush, and not found. That means that either the something was moved between landing on the bush and investigating the next day, or the something disappeared.

Personally, I think that it was moved. There was more than enough time, considering nobody found Mi-Hu's body until the morning. Of course, this brings up the question as to why the bloody elevator was ignored by all 14 of us innocents as we went to bed last night, but somehow I feel that such is the design of the god of this world. This means that whatever was thrown was incriminating evidence that the killer didn't want us to find, precisely heavy enough to just lightly damage a bush, that wasn't the murder weapon, since again, there was no blood to be found.

There's only one item that we've mentioned over the course of this trial that fits that description. It points to a clear suspect, and helps you think about why Mi-Hu died at his apartment.


Buttttttt, since you don't like my "calm, special investigator 'act'", I'll let you tell everyone what the item that makes someone else the prime suspect is, my sweet little doctor friend.

[Evie The Bat]

Donny raises his hand

“Miss Regina. The rooms that we have, I know we need a key to enter them but is it possible to leave without the key? Also, on the killer list it looks like only the fifteen of us are potential killers. Does that mean the people ‘round town can’t be killers or be helpin’ the killer?”

Donny then looks at Kyrie

”The thing that crush’d the bush...was it that anvil that someone took?”

410 looks excited. "Hmm, do you mean Lydia's glass shoes? Or is there something else, nyeh?"

Too heavy. An anvil would've done even more damage than an axe.

I suppose those would be heavy enough, but then there should be two marks on the bush, not one. Why on earth would you only throw one glass slipper away?




Well, Evelynn? Care to enlighten everyone what the object could be?

[Evie The Bat]

Donny thinks and says

“You mention’d the Axe. Is that what you think it is? ‘Cause the body was clutchin’ somthin’ ‘fore they died, but it look’d like they want into that hard to move phase while holdin’ it. If the axe was what he was holdin’ and it was remov’d ‘fore they went into that hard to move phase, then it wouldn’t look like they was holdin’ the axe right?”

As strange as it is to believe, his axe likely disappeared, the same way that other items that manifested themselves in our hands did.

[Evie The Bat]

Donny shrugs and says

“What I mean is, if the axe was thrown into the bush, then it wouldn’t look like he was holdin’ it. If it wasn’t, then the disappearin’ thing makes sense. Sorry if I confus’d ya miss kyrie”

Edward's hand goes up to his head as if seeking something not there. "So the item thrown away was likely the murderer or the victim's mysterious item. If this is the case I can definitely clear Lydia. She had both shoes on when I saw her." He frowns at her for her rude behavior, clearly preferring it be her considering the other person currently under suspicion was someone he befriended. "Plus she was with me when the item was being thrown and the time the item was tossed out coincides with when the will-o-wisp told her of danger. Plus the blue paint was there. I can indeed confirm finding my shoe blue. Though not everything lines up with what they say, that could be attributed to perspective or the almost dream like state I recall being in last night."


"Also, as far as the mine investigation went. Someone had definite been working there, and coal was stolen from the cart as well, which lines up with what Thomas was saying. Some seemed to be glistening, but I do not think there was any useful information there unfortunately."

Evelynn giggled, her wild grin never leaving her face. It seemed she'd touched a nerve - she loved doing that. "Doctor? Nah, that's the boring one's job! Though I guess if I had to I could rifle around in her brain for some of that sweet sweet expertise..." her thoughts trailed off for a moment, imagining carefully dismembering a body using the facts in Henri's head. How different would it look if the person were alive during this process? How would the muscles react? Then the mention of another suspect brought her thoughts back to the present.

"The bush? Hmm... well from what 410 told us it was flattened, so I'm guessing the "slightly damaged" bit must come from your own investigation. That and there being just a single mark. Not really fair for you to be ragging on the others for not knowing stuff they hadn't been told yet, but I ain't judging. People like you gotta keep that superior pride intact!"

She gave Kyrie a massive wink. "Anyway, what could it be... The anvil's too heavy, and it was found in the room. Screwdriver and paints woulda been too light. Henri didn't get a good look at the thing, but I feel like if it was the bottle of vinegar it would've made a crash and broken when it fell? Could be wrong though. I should throw some stuff off a building and find out! But out of all the stuff I know was in the building at the time... maybe the cooking pot? Or do you think that also woulda done too much damage?"

Evelynn smiled. She was having way too much fun with this. Still, were there any other items she might have been forgetting?
