Alright, slamming down other clues | Stella | Chapter Nine | Mastermind Trial | RE: Haru, Miyako, Yuki, ATTN: Everyone
[TW: Suicide mention at the last spoken paragraph]
Stella blinked when Haru was speaking to her. Wait a minute, she got the wrong person here! better clarify it, though she might as well answer it too.
“Uh, Mae was the one t’ bring all the names up actually, but I guess ’s a bit hard t’ keep up with everthin’… Anyway, ’s like ya said - they’re just in the same position as Hyun-min, fer example. And sure, we’re goin’ t’ uncover the identity o’ both masterminds very soon…”
The next person to speak up was Miyako… and with the mastermind clue she left behind, no less. The blacksmith nodded at her friend with a small smile, already knowing the content of the piece of paper all too well. Hell, she had been cracking her head about this one for quite some time…
“Maybe I shoulda clarify a bit more. As Miyan said, it was the prize fer gettin’ away w’ murder after the second case. A bit after the third trial, however, Yuki actually gave me t’ clue along w’ some teabags, though they told me t’ not read it until the time was right. Have t’ admit that I only looked at it after the fifth trial.”
She didn’t want to bore them with the reasonings as to why it happened to late, because lord knows that they didn’t need more information that wasn’t relevant to the matter at hand.
“Actually Miyan, thanks t’ other clues we’ve found, ’m pretty sure that it actually means a foreign nation. Don’t worry, ’s gonna be brought up soon ‘nough. Oh yeah and as fer the aliases… Mae already mentioned it, but on one of the PCs in the office, there were profiles o’ all o’ us… Real name, real talent 'n a few more facts. Well, actually, Kazu’s file is missin’, but I still dunno the reason as t’ why. Before any o’ ya jump t’ conclusions - nope, Kazu’s not the mastermind.”
Honestly, she didn’t want for any false accusiations to happen, just because she wasn’t explaining herself well enough.
“Well, we’re still not completely sure 'bout the killer o’ Nui, but yeah, it certainly implies that their talent musta have been useless in the mastermind’s eyes. Anyway, they’re rather full o’ themselves… and seemed to be annoyed by the whole killing game t’ begin with.”
Time to skim through more pages, it is.
“I say that 'cause we found 'nother log alongside the files on that computer… written by the Ifaisteio mastermind.”
Prepare for another onslaught of words.
“I really hope someone has been makin’ copies o’ them, 'cause couldn’t do them m'self… Anyway, guess ’m just goin’ ahead and read them out, eh?”
In order to not make this post any longer, here’s the link for the logs. Pretend Stella just read them out.
“There’s several things I’d like t’ point out. First o’ all, in the very first log, the mastermind referred to someone as their comrade… Probably the mastermind from Louloudia. Now, that in and itself wouldn’t catch yer eyes immediately, but remember the other mastermind clue? W’ the flags 'n whatnot? It just undermines the point more that the masterminds are not from Japan. There’s also another formular that makes it even more obvious, but ’s better t’ present it later on, 'cause… well, it practically tells us who Louloudia’s mastermind is.”
Well, that was a daring announcement.
“But I disgress, back t’ the logs. It shoulda go also without sayin’ that all the people mentioned in it are certainly not the one responsible fer all o’ this. Therefore, Micky, Mae 'n Troy can be taken outta the pool o’ suspects. Same goes fer Yuhi 'n Nui as well, 'cause they died before the note could be even made.”
Already going ahead and reducing the numbers of suspects, huh?
“Okay, so before I dive into a certain log, let’s remember the last one. It’s 'bout some strange readings regarding the volcano, so we can be sure ’s been written before the damn mountain actually exploded on us. Afterwards, there are no logs anymore and I find that… rather interestin’. Why stop here, o’ all times? Sure, it said that it woulda be suspicious, but… I get the feelin’ as if they simply couldn’t write more anymore… Maybe they ended up dyin’ before the merge happened?”
Please bear with me, I’m just throwing out more clues before I have to go to sleep and probably wake up to a mountain of more posts.
“Also, it states that their comrade can use a translator t’ disguise their messages… which means that the Louloudia mastermind needs t’ know at least another language aside from japanese… and probably english too.”
Now I really want some sprites here.
“With that done, let’s focus on the sixth log, where it states that the mastermind’s brother is dead. T’ be more precise… suicide. I think I shoulda leave the rest t’ Mae fer explainin’, 'cause she’s the one who actually knows more 'bout that than I do.”
And because this post gets far too fucking long.
