Chapter 3 END

150 Monocoins obtained
Chapter 3 || Monothea 2 + āExileā
A familiar setting preceded by static. Fog sets the grim scene of darkness as once again, Shirokuma and Kurokuma bring out the next student to be āexiledā. Or rather -- the student meant to be executed, but due to circumstances, will be left to an unseen crowd waiting in the outside world. The gates slowly open, and the corpse is thrown just as quickly as the gates close.
Hands, this time bloodied - bloodier than you last saw them, rush to reach to the corpse. The video feed lasts longer than usual, however. Whether the crowd doesnāt realize Sumika was already dead, or were simply fueled by an unknown source of anger and scorn, their hands - almost drunk with adrenaline - tear and grab at the corpse.
Static flashes past, perhaps censoring the gruesome scene but not enough for you to realize theyāre mangling her corpse further -- until she was stuck and paraded on pikes; the faces of the mob are unseen but clearly, they were celebrating. Knowing how Sumika was-- uptight and superior up until her death-- perhaps allowing this to happen to her corpse-- remembering her not as a powerhouse of efficiency and genius, but instead as a girl pathetically torn apart--
Static cuts off the feed as youāre left to reflect;
Maybe in a way, the gruesome display was still an execution - not of life, but of the pride the SHSL Tycoon had tried to leave behind.
Chapter 3 || Monotheatre 1
As Sumikaās body hits the floor, the trial room goes silent, bewildered by what had just occurred. Had Sumika reallyā¦ died, right there? Right before what wouldāve been her execution? It was ironic, really, knowing she was technically escaping an even more gruesome fate.
Even Monokuma looks stunned, taking a few moments to blink in confusion before growling,
āDamnit!! You couldnāt have held on just a few minutes longer? What a boring way to go!! No fun at all!! I canāt even punish you for dying without permission-- this sucks!ā
If the situation wasnāt so inherently dark, itād almost be comical watching Monokuma yell at Sumikaās corpse. He grumbles, shaking his head disapprovingly.
āItās just plain inconsiderate, straight up dying when someoneās got a whole masterpiece of an execution laid out for you. Ookatsu-san never really learned to mind her manners, did she? Now she never will! Grr, So frustratingā¦ā
Sighing, Monokuma hops off of his chair and strolls over to Sumikaās corpse, tapping it with his foot a couple of times in an aggressive manner. After a moment or two, he looks back at the other students,
āWell, I suppose we donāt have many options, do we? No choice but to toss her out like the garbage she was. Donāt worry, kiddos! I know you were looking forward to an execution, but Iām sure watching her corpse get mangled out there should suffice, yeah?ā
The results are in !!
The Culprit is Sumika Ookatsu! Congratulations! You caught the culprit!
Exile: 1 Execution: 1
Tie breaker! Randomizing punishment ...
EXECUTION
āNo More... Pleaseā || Hiro || Trial 3.6 || [RE: Trial Climax]
Towards the latter half of this trial, Hiro hadn't been looking too hot - not that he did to begin with. First, he came in there dragging his leg and feeling exhausted, and the confirmation of his suspicions just seemed to grate on the Motivational Speaker.
Just in this week alone, two classmates (two friends) had been murdered by the swiftly dying girl in front of them - who claimed she just wanted to see a previous culprit they had banished the other week...
This... This entire scenario was becoming far too much to handle. If anything, their time here has shown Hiro that, sometimes, even he can say nothing to make this fucked up situation better. In fact, his previous conviction could only contribute to the terrible motives of the people trapping them there.
It's a frustrating and tiring thought for someone who had tried so hard to stay upbeat - if not for their own sanity - then for everyone else they talked to here... And so, their emotional control finally deteriorates a bit on the stand.
In the otherwise quiet room, a possibly unexpected sob comes from the increasingly vacant side of the podiums. The motivator immediately put a hand to his lips to stop any further interruptions, but his frame was lightly trembling. Dammit... He really is powerless.
"I- ... sorry...! I-I'm just... sorry.Ā Please ignore me."

[Trial Event 3] Monokuma || An Early Climax Inference || Re: Everyone
ā...ā
ā... Uh .. Ookatsu-san? Youāre not ... dead yet, are you?ā
[Trial Event 2] Monokuma || Re: Everyone
āH- Hey Hey Hey!! You canāt die on me yet--!! Thatās not allowed! Just sit tight while I lay down your crimes!!ā
[Trial Event] Sumika Ookatsu || Re: Everyone
All eyes are trained on Sumika. The conclusions reached by Jack and Hiro force a silence to come over the students, waiting with bated breath as to how the Tycoon would respond.
She barks - harsh, guttural laughter sweeps the slowly diminishing crowd of students; and with that laugh, came a sudden burst of blood. A mad red seeps from the stomach of Sumika, pooling and dyeing the red clothes darker. Her hand moves to cradle what was left by Katsuya; a stab wound to the stomach, but still, she chuckles.
āAah .. and I was so close ..ā
āI knew... too much sudden movement would cause my wounds to reopen... Though I suppose thereās no point in fighting anymore. You were right. Not completely, of course - you had some details wrong in your little recreation. Monokuma will probably-- lay it all out soon .. I will correct one thing of yours though -- That boorish excuse for an auctioneer was poisoned at the beach, but he followed me out, stabbed me -- claimed he would have the last laugh but ā¦I -- ghk.. !!ā
She coughed again,
āI ... showed him... I just -- wanted to see Hideaki-san again, maybe rescue her but -- I suppose I canāt now...ā
Sheās struggling to stay upright, and blood continues to pool. Beginning to hunch over her podium, she whispers her final words.
āGood work ā¦ scumbags.ā
Hook, Line, and... || Jack || Trial 3.4 || Re: Mutsumi, Hiro
Jack squinted at Mutsumi and straightened his cap, getting ready for the finishing blow. This trial was already over, he was sure of it.
āGood Grief Mutsumi, Hiro, you took the words out of my mouth...ā
āBut not quite, you missed a thing here and there, letās pull the whole thing to shoreā
Jack pulled the net in his brain together and began to heave it out, bringing out every wriggling detail out of the murky waters. He felt relief, he finally knew it all, he could finally take apart this complex murder from from top to bottom. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0dZnWkzv2U)
āFirst off, the baking competition, we know for sure that Katsuya was poisoned with poison chocolate made by the killer, this was done early on before the happenings at the beach. This poison definitely killed him, the stab from the kitchen knife was postmortem, and the hit that knocked his tooth out only incapacitated him, leaving him to die from the poison without any further struggle. He wouldāve been easily knocked out too, due to the poison.ā
āIn the kitchen, Katsuya figured out he was poisoned after ingesting the chocolate, grabbing a kitchen knife and pursuing the killer, according to Rumās account. The killer made their way to the beach, where they were to meet Hitoshi, but Katsuya tracked his killer down before Hitoshi arrivedā.
āKatsuya finally intercepted his to-be killer at the beach, desperately lunging with his kitchen knife. Using the last of his strength to stab his killer before the unwitting accomplice arrivesā
āUpon arriving at the beach, Hitoshi saw what could only be interpreted as a crazed Katsuya trying to murder our killer with a kitchen knife. He did what any man would and came to their rescue, intercepting him and knocking him out. Which I said before, wouldāve been easy with the poison already affecting Katsuyaās body. After he died from the poison, the killer stabbed him in the chest, either concealing the fact that poison was used, to somehow blame it on Hitoshi, or just to make sure he was dead, doesnāt matter really, the file tells us it was poison anywayā.
āAfter Katsuya was done in, the killer figured that Hitoshi might have figured out that Katsuya was poisoned, so the killer took the initiative to kill him too. The killer took the chair and bashed him over the head with the chair, knocking him into the sand, and then drowning him by changing the tide setting controller so that he would be submerged. We found his flower drifting out in the water, confirming that it was done by changing the setting to a higher tideā.
āWhile the tide drowning the unconscious Hitoshi, the killer went to the showers to find some bandages and wash off all the blood, only to find that the showers didnāt work. The killer made their way back to the beach with bloody footprints to wash off in the high tide and change clothes, using the roll of bandages to wrap up the wounds, and made it back out no longer tracking blood. After which, the killer went to dump their clothes in the incinerator, thankfully, the clothes didnāt finish burning, probably thanks to the saltwater. Those gym clothes were apparently female, thank you for that information Hiro.ā
āSmall footprints, female gym clothes, and handwriting matching a certain someone that weāve already revealed, itās a girl in this room, and she killed two of our classmates.ā
āIT CAN ONLY BE YOU, SUMIKA OOKATSUā
ā Narrowing It Downā || Hiro || Trial 3.5 || [RE: Jack, Mutsumi, Rum]
After his accusation, Hiro noticed the lack of reaction and fell back to listen what the others were saying. The situation really was hazy, but they couldn't give up now!
Luckily, just when he had objections to a part of Jack's theory, Mutsumi stepped in.
"I agree with Morishibe-san!Ā Hitoshi's head wound matches up to one of the beach chairs, since there was one left at the scene that had dents in it - while Katsuya really didn't have any wounds that would indicate a chair had hit him."
Hiro nodded in support of everyone else, but they looked saddened at the realization.
" I agree that it's more likely that Katsuya concussed Hitoshi. But what I find strange is that Ookatsu-san still forged Takagetsu-kun's handwriting.
If they had premeditated this together, I'm sure Katsuya would have just written the note himself... I would say she planned to frame him from the beginning, but why would she poison him in that case?"
Hiro's rambling now in their confusion, unsure of what to make of all of this. Their convinced it's all tied to Sumika, somehow, but...
Wait.
" ... Actually, I think there might be one more possibility.Ā
Do you think they were... played against one another?Ā It's a long-shot, but... "
Almost Nap Time / Trial 3.2 / Re: Jack
"Pointing fingers..? But... my fingers... are all on my hands... and not in any water..."
Running with a phrase taken grossly out of context, the counselor seemed to drown out whatever discussion would occur next. Pointy, wet fingers were the only concern for him to work out at this moment.
Waving slender hands in languid rocks, Mutsumi watched his own shaking palms in dazed bewilderment. A hum of contemplation through the counselor's pursed lips melting into an off-key lullaby, the boy began to sway with his hands to the tune of his own creation, quickly detracted from the topic at hand by his own imposed reveries. Yes, this was a nice tune...
...
"...oh, yes... the matter of who murdered who."
Bringing a wet, pointy finger to his chin that Jack seemed so vehemently interrupting with earlier, Mutsumi gave a rhythmic tap while he considered the possibilities. Yes, wet fingersĀ couldĀ be like fish to a fisherman, and perhaps that's why Finn-san seemed so interested in them. Well, to each their own...
"Well... there's really a simple way to... confirm your theories.Ā Check Ookatsu-san... for those injuries and bandages you mentioned.Ā Though... the order of events mentioned do seem... hazy, in the slightest. I think... certain aspects need to be integrated... into this little dramatization of events... before it can be endorsed by the class."
Ā With a relaxed sigh, the counselor continued.
"What exactlyĀ occurredĀ afterĀ Kita-san... dispatched Takagetsu-san with a chair?Ā This would surmise... Ookatsu-san, our proposed culprit, and Kita-san... would still be standing after... this course of events.Ā Did the culprit take Kita-san by surprise and drown him? The culprit is obviously smaller and injured... by then. Are... you certain this is what occurred?"
Blowing a drawn out huff between squeezed lips, Mutsumi slouched like a deflating balloon, as if the tension building for talking so uninterruptedly leaked out like a wheezing fart.
"From what's been brought to light... I propose somewhat a continuation... of Shiroyama's theory.Ā Kita-san has a head wound.Ā I believe... it was Takagetsu-san... who won the fight after our resident clown... was lured there. Our auctioneer may have been led to... or conspiring with our culprit... to knock out Kita-san. They even dragged the body to help confuse the evidence. However... what Takagetsu-san... was not expecting was to be poisoned.. noted by the knocked out tooth. In this weakened state... he was quite literally overpowered and... "stabbed in the back" by the culprit who used the very knife heĀ had delivered to them... who, after sustaining some injuries in the scuffle... made their way to the beach to finish off Kita-san with theĀ "High Tide" setting."
Now mindlessly scrolling through his student handbook, the counselor didn't bother to peel his eyes away as he continued.
"You see... whoever was able to convince, aide in a murder plot, get him to consume, and ultimately put Takagetsu-san in such a compromising position... must have beenĀ very, very close to him."
Focus on the ripples pt.2 || Jack || Trial 3.3 || Re: Rum
Jack nodded at Rum, he didnāt have concrete evidence but he knew his way around the crime now.
āOf course, it wasnāt entirely intentional on Hitoshiās part, but he knocked out Katsuya not knowing the poison finished him off. Be it with a chair or without a chair, if he was already weakened by the poison he would be easily taken down by even punch from Hitoshi.ā
The truth was close now, he just had to go through it from the ground up.
āOf course we know what poison he ingested, the chocolate that on his tooth that we found on the floor, knocked right out of his mouth. But Hitoshi didnāt give him the chocolate, it was given to him by the killer, and planted near Hitoshi to frame himā
He was kinda going off on a tangent from what Rum was asking but stay with him here.
āKatsuya probably realized that he was poisoned early on, and chased after the killer with a kitchen knife, just as Rum saw.ā
āKatsuya probably got a good couple of hits on the killer, she tracked bloody footprints everywhere, and probably needed plenty of bandages to fix herself up. But in the process of that, she ran to the beach to where she knew someone would be, Hitoshi. He did the only thing anyone would do in that situation and intercept the knife-wielding Katsuya, unintentionally protecting the killerā
Jack paused to let that information sink in with his classmates.
Deathmatch Rum-stleing || Rum || Trial 2 || RE: Jack
Rums hands flew to her cheeks at Jack's dramatic accusation, the smaller girl surprised at the strange turn of events. Her eyes lit up in excitement as Jack pointed towards the empty podium of Hitoshi Kita.
"Sharkboy! Yeah! Yeah! That's such a good po-"
She paused, her voice trailing off as she nodded.Ā
"Wha...? Yeah, Sharkboy just accused him. No it m-...Are you sure? I dunno Sass."
"Fine, fine. I'll ask him! Stop shouting."
Rum shook her head and shrugged, making a sort of 'Some people, right?' gesture with her hands before she turned back to the massive teen clad in blue.
"Sass wants to know where your evidence is Sharkboy! They don't believe you."
Focus on the Ripples || Jack || Trial 3.2 || Re: Hiro, Mutsumi
This reminded him of the first time he went spearfishing. Unlike other methods, you had to be certain instead of patient, as there was no bait or struggle, only a killing blow. He needed to land this shot, so he let the the information sink into him.. He was wrong in his previous statement, and it needed clarifying before they went pointing fingers.
āHold on Hiro, Mutsumi, donāt go pointing fingers just yet, the water isnāt clear enoughā
Jack went over the information one more time in his head, looking over to Mutsumi, nodding at him before speaking.
āMutsumi, youāre right, there IS an accomplice... "
After which he looked over to Hiro, giving him an apologetic nod.
ā...And Hiro, you were right before, there is only three peopleā
Thereās very little chance that the killer couldāve taken out both boys on their own without someone noticing, Jack was certain, there was an accomplice, one of the victims.
āIt was the late Hitoshi Kita!ā
ā Scared and Suspiciousā || Hiro || Trial 3.4 || [RE: Jack, Mutsumi, Handwriting Check] ATN: Sumika
Realizing his blunder, the speaker frowned and ran a hand through his hair awkwardly. Right! There were four pairs of footprints... it was just that he was combining the two most similar ones, when maybe he shouldn't have been.
"Y-Yes! You're right... Sorry if I caused anyone confusion!! There were four pairs - I was just assuming two of them belonged to the same person. I got a bit carried away!"
Regaining some of his smile, his attention was quickly directed to the handwriting paper finally being passed back to him. Pulling out a different colored pen that was some shade of periwinkle, Hiro shakily went to work comparing Hitoshi's note to his peers' penmanship...
For a time, his face seemed to contort with... fear? Concern? Was he really that nervous about finding the killer? Or... maybe he was worried another one of his friends would be outed as a liar.
However, as Hiro dwindled down the list, his trembling hand seemed to still and his expression relaxed to one of a bitter calm.
Finally, they seemed to find the answer they were looking for and raised their hand to get the court's attention - which wasn't hard with so few of them speaking in the first place.
"Alright... I apologize to the rest of you for the wait. You all did really well with this, so thank you for your help! Everyone has such nice handwriting... Ah! But, anyway, as far as I can tell:"
Taking a deep breath, Hiro gives a hardened glare across to Sumika Ookatsu.
"Ookatsu-san, you wrote this note. The handwriting is too similar for it not to be yours."
