Dantalion's Thread

"Yeah, Nom, it was a lot of fun. Nom, Nom, Vivian helped me out a lot, Nom..."

"Sato." Aki says, looking at him patiently. "Can you please slow down? I don't want you to choke, after all. Take your time and enjoy it." Aki says it with a patient smile.

"Hmmm...Okay. It would be mean to eat it all anyway." Sato sits down in his seat and looks around as spotlights begin to move around the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Vicky Van Houttun's very own private show for all of you!" Flashy lights and music play as Vicky performs a dance on the stage. It's actually quite impressive.

Sam seems particularly disturbed by the body. "Haha... Th-this is another... prank, right? This isn't funny, Tucker..."

Aki, trembling as her eyes begin to well up with tears, walks over to Tucker and closes his eyes with her hands.

"May you find your peace
In your Ultimate resting
place, Tucker Rally"

Tucker does not respond. He seems truly dead. Leanne opens her mouth to respond. "What...What happened...?"

Spy walks over and kneels down next to the body. "Looks like cause of death was an explosive... If the explosive went off in his room...." He closes his eyes in thought.

Everyone is interrupted, however, as Nekoshi suddenly pops up between Spy and Tucker's body. "Did somebody say cause of death? Cause I've got some death for you! A death report! The Nekoshi File!" Your student handbooks flash as they turn on by themselves, revealing a new file placed on them. "The Nekoshi file presents plenty of useful information to help you find the culprit in the Class Trial! Make sure you look it over carefully!" Nekoshi pauses a moment and stares at you all. "...What the heck are you doing standing around like that!? Get to investigating already! You have a limited amount of time until the Class Trial starts! You don't want to start without evidence, do you? You might as well lay down and die already!" Nekoshi turns away in frustration and walks off.



You look at the student handbook and the Nekoshi File within. Leanne speaks out loud as she looks at the file. "The Nekoshi File. This might have evidence we could use in it..." You open the file to find an image of Tucker's dead body as you found it. Information is listed to the side while a diagram to the left shows where the injuries were found on his body. Leanne reads the file out loud. "Tucker Rally, the Ultimate Geopolitical Analyst was found dead at 8:31 PM. Large burns can be seen throughout the body and the cause of death was an explosion. There are no other notable injuries found on Tucker's body." You close the file. "8:31 PM? That was only a few minutes ago. That must mean Tucker died around the time we heard that explosion. But what caused it...?"

Nekoshi File #1 was added to your Truth Bullets!

You take a look around the dorm. Where should you start your investigation? There could be clues anywhere.

You head into Tucker's room while the others split up to investigate on their own. As you walk inside, you notice Spy and Sylvia investigating.

Tucker's room looks pretty disheveled from the explosion. Black soot can be seen throughout the room and the furniture has been shifted slightly. Tucker's bed sheets and pillow are on the floor. You can see what looks like multiple cans of food neatly tucked under his bed. The window in the room has been completely shattered with glass shards on the floor. There's also what looks like a lot of writing on Tucker's walls, which is strange.

You poke around the soot in search of the type of explosive used. From the marks and the way Tucker died you're pretty sure you already know, but there should be pieces lying around here...There.

You pick up remnants of a firework from the soot. There's no doubt in your mind that fireworks were used to kill Tucker.

Fireworks were added to your Truth Bullets!

You head over to the writing on Tucker's wall and find...

Oh my god. That's creepy. This writing is what everyone's actions have been in the past few days. Has Tucker really been taking notes on all of this? You look at the writing a bit closer. What was he trying to accomplish with this? Was he trying to predict everyone's movements...? You notice that there's a significant absence of any actions from today. You also note that there's no mention of fireworks in these notes. That must mean that if someone were putting together Tucker's murder...they'd have to have put all the components together today.

Tucker's Notes were added to your Truth Bullets!

Spy glances over his shoulder at you as he walks up to the wall, studying it. "Dennis. Were any of your fireworks stolen?"

It looks like you're both kind of on the same page. Maybe it would be a good idea to check the Ultimate Pyromaniac's Lab.

You head with Spy down to the Ultimate Pyrotechnics Lab. Claus is standing there, inspecting the room carefully. You notice the room seems fairly normal except for the fact that there's a bunch of gunpowder spilled all over the floor with footprints in it.

You also notice that your materials have been shuffled around in a messy way you'd never do! Maybe they should be inspected further...
