Now I know what the punishments were like.  One death was plenty, but this . . . .

Has anyone caught up with the girl in the white sundress?  Unlike her younger self, she jolted when I called out and ran away.  Wonder if she'll slow down and stop humming long enough to reveal her name.

Has anyone seen Ran?  It's important that we find her now.

...

If you're on the sixth floor, have you noticed any unusual activity?  It doesn't matter how trivial.

[ooc: In short, Ran's being drowned by Dilandau in his tub.  Those on the sixth floor might hear some noise, but not enough to interfere.]

That was an experience I'd rather not repeat.

My last observation was that the little girl didn't attack until I turned around and saw her.  It could've been caprice, but she's too methodical in her games for that.  Then, she said nothing but "boo" before ripping my guts out.  Nice.

Sakura-san, you've been working hard.  Found the timer yet?  Despite ( Read more... )

You just couldn't wait to play, could you?  For a killer, you certainly admire your big brother.  Have you ever thought that maybe he has his own plans, plans that don't involve you?

I have a few questions about your rules, little girl:

01. What does the bloodshed gain?
02. What makes you think any of us are willing to become murderers out of our own ( Read more... )

I remembered that after the little girl broke into the intercom system, she told the Apprentice:

"You have until All Hallows' Eve to win, even though we all know you won't~"

Hallow'een is tomorrow.  I believe she means we're the Apprentice's pawns.  She's letting him keep us, as it were, because she has other weapons.  Presumably, she's hijacked our ( Read more... )

As some of you might've noticed, I haven't been back to the cafe for awhile.  That's because I'm staying in a separate location with Ran and the others who were possessed.  For everyone's safety, I can't tell you where we are.

Many of us suffered in ways we'll never forget.  The Apprentice--no matter how much he denies it--and his dead sister used ( Read more... )

Hello, everyone, this is Kudou Shin'ichi.  I've backdated this post to appear at exactly 10:00 AM the following day.  If you're reading this, I've been murdered by Mouri Ran.

My goal in meeting Ran was to restore her senses, so if you're reading this, that also means I've failed.

The ones closest to the right idea are Ryoji-san and Sakura-san.  At ( Read more... )

This afternoon, in the Town Square fountain, I found the body of Celena Schezar.

Her cause of death was drowning.  Present on her body were many signs of a struggle, including bruised arms, wrists, legs and neck, but she wasn't choked.  Her feet were bare, yet without any dirt in the toenails, and her stockings were neatly folded, which suggests she ( Read more... )

...Damn, this hurts, but it's more confusing than anything else.  I can walk fine, but still.

Someone tripped me just now by the hotel.  This person tied a piece of twine to a storefront, hid the length of it in the dirt, and waited on the other side for me to pass.  Then, they giggled when I fell and busted the same ankle as before.  They didn't ( Read more... )

This isn't real.  I've seen what this kind of injury does to somebody.  My last case on the rollercoaster was like this.  Exactly like this.  My head--

...Even the pond's reflection showed it.  Or didn't show it, to be precise.

Heh, it's pointless to comb my hair in the mirror.

So why do I feel sick, like the world's going ( Read more... )
