Game 103C - Trial 3 A Power Outtage

[Maria]

"Right, my night..."

"I started off in the display hall, and decided to head on over to the repair room to grab a tablet. On my way, I saw Roroa in the lab looking around, who headed to the display hall. I went through storage and ended up in the repair room! There was a mannequin in there smiling at me, which was nice!!

After that, I ran into Constance and we headed to Rio's room. We had a fun conversation with rope and a chair! Is this how people usually make friends? It must have really resonated with her because her skin and hair changed! I love bonding! Oh yeah, Rio was there too, I guess.

I left Rio's room after that and wanted to head for the kitchen. I went through the repair room, and saw Nedge Pepsi looking around, and then the power went out as I walked into storage. Something started tugging at my ankle while I was in there, so I bolted out into the trial room! 

I left along the wall of the trial room until I entered another room. I'm pretty sure at least one person was in there, but I'm not too sure who it was or which way they went. I also bumped into a piano, so I was probably in the relaxation room! After that, I finally made it into the cafeteria! I (literally) bumped into Mr Anonymous in there.

For the rest of the night, me, Mr Anonymous and the chef mannequin made some food in the cafeteria! Near the end of the night though, they both started acting weird, and told me to go to the monitor room. I took all the food we had made and headed out. When I got there, I ran into Constance, DA Ratticus, Aki, and Denji. They said they found an escape... When we finally got out there, Maki was around there. Hahhh, it was so nice to feel the air on my skin again!" 

[Peregrine]

"Actions three and four? Alright."

3. "I began in the Trial Room and went down into the Storage Room, then into the Repair Room from there. Kronya and Tohru passed by me one after another, both headed into the Storage Room. Tohru had just come out of Rio's Room. One of the mannequins mentioned a lot of people were acting strangely, including our hosts. He gestured me into Rio's Room, so I went there myself. That's when the lights went off. I heard Rio was in there — it sounded like he hadn't been expecting the blackout."

4. "I didn't realize the blackout was widespread at that point. I assumed I was under attack, so I tried to protect myself. I got hit with something, but didn't get hurt badly, and I heard someone leaving the room. In hindsight, it was probably Rio himself, but I couldn't tell in the dark. I kind of... just stayed put that action. I didn't want to make any sudden moves in case a killer was covering my exit."

5. "Once I thought the coast was clear, I rushed out and tried to make my way back upstairs, but I got stopped in the Storage Room when Lex attacked and restrained me. It was Aki who freed me using my lighter. Actually, er, could I have that back? I could... really use a smoke soon."

"Miss Sue. If I may, could a mannequin be the killer? Or, provided it is not one of us twelve, the hacker be the killer?"

Sue rolls her eyes. "As stated before, a mannequin cannot directly harm a player. Not even that bastard can overwrite that command. They would never be a blackened and , traitorous behavior aside, the three of us would not be involved in a murder at all. No. The hacker, the mannequins, Rio, Tia, and myself are in no way the blackened. The mannequins at best could be accomplices."

"Same. You got a smoke?"

He glances at Maki, looking entirely bored

"What. Forgot who you met at the 4th hour already? I was at the lowest floor until the Elevator. So was Denji, I reckon."

"Just met Denji and Rat in the elevator and then saw you outside the elevator."

[Vaellin the Bard]

Suddenly, a loud, repetitive BANG BANG BANG sound happens on the southern door, startling everyone.





"..."

"Tia. Rio. Go take care of that. And do it properly. Or else."




Tia and Rio hesitated before they head to the western door and walk out to confront the banging on the southern side.

"G-got it, Sue!" Tia states over Rio's mumbling. Both look relieved at being able to escape the room, honestly.

[Vaellin the Bard]

The banging persists for a little while.

Sue glowers at the door in anger, letting the banging ring over the room itself.

Finally, it seems to stop.

Sue's smile returns brilliantly. "Well then, where were we? Oh right, who killed the little blood demon."

[Snow]

"So... Sue,"

"Are we. Just not going to talk about that?"

"Feel free to leave problem children to those two idiots. It's all irrelevant anyway. They're not escaping the island."

"I see... I understand, Lady Sue."

Kronya fidgets a bit, actioning to wanting to say something

[Kuroneko]

"The problem children wouldn't happen to be mannequins with a little more sentience than the rest would they?"

"Smart move, Constance. That'll serve you well with your time at Asu Corporation."

Kronya visibly bites her lip and smiles

Kronya visibly bites her lip and smiles

"Good guess, Roroa. You were always my favorite."

Sue continues to smile maliciously at Kronya and sickeningly sweet at Roroa. (How she does two smiles at once? I don't know, Sue is magic.)
