Somewhatlikeumineko v3.0 [Mystery]

This is an interactive game, anyone can join as long they can read.

In this game, we'll completely rip-offcopy the mechanics of the sound novel called "Umineko naku koro ni". If you have already read it until the red and blue part, you'll do well in here.

The theme for this game is all about mystery, meaning that mystical powers has no room in here.

The gameplay is somewhat like this: (previous game)
[Mystery 1]https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=72313
[Mystery 2]https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=72654

We'll have the same rules


Then again, if there's anything to clarify because I'm not good in explaining things, feel free to post.


And sorry for the grammar too.

The story will start at the next post

===================

=STORY START=

===================



In our reunion, we are all invited by Cherry to go into her villa in an island. This will be a reunion of the Alumnae of the school XXXX Batch 2006. There may be still some hard feelings since what happened ago...but this is now a good time to reconcile. After all, we are still friends.

The invitation says that we all have to go to the port first, when I arrive, I saw some familliar faces, they were Ashley, Marie, John, Ara, and Ace. Oh, there must be 14 of us with Cherry already included. We are ready to leave, it seems that this boat can only ferry a capacity of 7 people, and the Captain says that he had made his trip 2 times already and the last trip. Anyways, for the my introduction of characters;

Ashley - an expert of computers and such, also the leader of Computer Club

Marie - the magician of the school and a great swimmer too! Also the leader of the Performing Arts Club

John - My Partner-in-crime in school, a member of the Computer Club

Ara - the Mystery maniac of the class, I forgot what club is she taking 'cause she's changing it now every now and then...ah wait! the Literature Club! and oh, they are only 3 members of it Herself, Cherry and Elzy (which now arrived at the villa) I'm almost dragged into that club.



Shortly after 4 hours, we arrived at the island. Cherry was already there and ready to welcome us. The villa is sure as huge as fuck. We would be lost there. It seems that the ones who arrived earlier were exploring the mansion (or just lost). In the living room, Hina and Elzy were chatting with each other and complimenting about the villa. Ara now challenges John into a game of chess.

Cherry, Ashley and Ace are preparing the foods and drinks. Oh yeah,

Hina - The strongest in the class, also the leader of the Karate Club

Ace - The most excellent in Science *cough*nerd*cough*, also the leader of the Chemistry Club



"Hey guys, did you see Mark and Kevin? They asked for electrical tapes, but after I found them- they're gone" Cherry asked us.

"Nope, We did not...and checkmate." Ara said. Well, that's unusual. Ara always lost to John in the past.

"Tsk, X-'s signal doesn't reach here" Elzy complained. Cherry replied "But Y-'s signal reaches here...see?"

"Y-yeah, it does reach here" Ara said while checking her cellphone. Until someone snatched her Cellphone

"You may borrow it, Alvin" Ara said in response. And then the cellphone was passed around.

cherry was blushing when she accidentally saw the naughty videos inside. All of us giggled and laughed just like our school days. and I forgot;

Alvin - As you see, he is very dextrous. A Performing arts member.

Kevin and Mark - Both members of the Electronics club, All I knew about them is that they always cause trouble.





============

=1st Murder=

============





After some shits and giggles, we went on our ways and explored the mansion and the ones exploring took our place in the living room. Namely Kino and Red, but there's no sign of Mark and Kevin yet.

Kino and Red - Were members in the Computer Club and both loves mysteries. Somehow hates Marie and Ara on a daily basis, but it's just probably the tsundere mood

Cherry asked John and Ara to decorate the room on the 3rd floor, but Ara refused out of whim. Marie replaced her in her place. Hina and Ashley stayed on the video game room. Ara and Ace went outside to explore more. Cherry Alvin and Myself went into the kitchen to prepare the food.

Some minutes later...John came running and look panicky. Told us that that he saw Marie floating in the ocean. But when we hurriedly check, there were no traces of Marie. Cherry told us three to stay calm and quiet about it until the whole gang regrouped again.


============

=2nd Murder=

============

John stated that Marie is just around him, until he was adjusting some ropes and didn't notice that she's already gone. Ashley overheard and panicked and told everyone(lol) Then some time later, the friends regrouped in the Living room. But still, Kevin and Mark are still nowhere in sight. "Where the hell are those two?" Cherry asked.

"Kevin came to the room we were inside and asked for scissors" John said in reply.

Annoyed, Cherry asked Ace, Ashley, Red, and Kino to split up in the basement to find those two. Me and Alvin, initiatively went upstairs to find those two. Elzy was crying so Hina her back to the Video room to comfort her. While Cherry went to her room(1st floor) and called for the coast guards. And as for Ara, I didn't saw her.


Tired of searching for Kevin and Mark in the Second floor, we came over to check hina and Elzy. something gruesome was in front for the Video room, a pool of blood. I tried to open the door but It's locked. Until Ara came along and saw the blood. She instantly brought out a key to the door. As she opened the door, Hina and Elzy were lying in the floor, covered in blood. Elzy had a slice on the neck while Hina had a stab mark on her back. Ara declared that they are dead. Until all searching members regrouped once again. But now, Cherry was missing. But then was found by Ashley on the Bathroom(1st floor) tied with electrical tapes and almost drowning


OP's hint : On the start of the game, until now- 3 people died

============

=3rd Murder=

============


Alvin became suspicious of Ara, asked her why she had the key. Ara stated "I borrowed it from Cherry while she was talking in the phone, and I talkked to my uncle who is also a coastguard." Cherry, who now recovered, tells that Ara is telling the truth. and told everyone that it was not Ara who attacked her. Ara gave the keys back to Cherry, John locked the door, ensuring it would be preserved until the police came.


As our blunder, instead of sticking together in a room, another tradegy has occured. Cherry asked for protection from Ace and Kino, they tried to call the police from her room. but the wire connecting to the reciever was cut. They told them that the Master's room upstairs is locked, so it should be safe. Me and John moved to a room and find anything that can be used for awhile.


Ara is checking the crime scene of the first floor. While Alvin, Red and Ashley checked the basement one more time. After Alvin's group finished checking the basement. and reported that the telephone wires are all cut. Ara came afterwards and alerted the others why they haven't came down yet If the telephone wires below were cut. So we all went to the Master's Room. But it was locked, so we broke down the door.

Then we saw Cherry, Ace and Kino in the floor with blood flowing from their abdomen. John checked if Cherry was still alive, Alvin checked Ace while Red checked Kino. Unfortunately, they all confirm they are all dead. Ara thought of a plan, she tried to call Mark using her cellphone...and somewhere rang. Ara and Alvin immediately went after the sound

============

=4th Murder=

============

The remaining ones stayed in the living room. But my stomach gets pretty cranky, even at this time. so I trusted my best friend to guard Ashley for me. Red accompanied me to the bathroom(1st floor) but it was locked. So we went upstairs and went inside the bathroom with Red outside. I instructed him if he saw anyone, he should go in and barricade the door. Then after a while, I heard the door slammed. He must be attacked. but then I heard a clicking noise..and it sounded more like locking door.Dammnit, I was locked. I shouted for help, Luckily Alvin and Ara heard me. but Alvin cannot break a door alone. And noticed that John and Ashley were missing. Alvin found Ashley hiding in the corner, and found John in an open room lying down. Luckily, he was only hit on the back, the culprit most likely missed the head. After John recovered, they both broke the door and I was freed. Sadly, Red wasn't found. and there were no traces of blood outside of the bathroom...where did he go?


============

-5th Murder=

============


Ashley decided to interrogate all of us in order to test her deductions, and suspects everyone who is still alive. she instructed us to stick together, if anyone of us is the culprit then he could not harm anyone. by interrogation, it must be one by one. She went on an open room(third floor) and barricaded it with her body in case the culprit attacks. Alvin was the first one to be called, then I came the second. She asked me who am I accompanying/what am I doing/where am I in the time of the murders. after her interrogation ended, Ara came as the next one, then when It comes to John's turn, he screamed for help, and of course we quickly went upstairs and found Ashley convulsing and then stopped moving and John with a shocked expression, standing away from Ashley





============

=6th Murder=

============





As I started to suspect Ara, Alvin blurted out "the culprit is in these rooms! Shout for help when you've found any living person, that is the culprit! We'll beat him once he's uncovered, Let's split up and divide the rooms. John will be checking room 1, Ara will be checking room 2, Alvin checked room 3, while I'll be checking room 4.. After 30 seconds or less, a shot rang out. it was the room that is being checked by Alvin. We found him on the floor with a shot on the temple, and holding a gun.

Damn, it's a suicide. since the culprit already died "Shall we go outside and wait for the coastguards to land? as we went outside, Ara smirked and John sneered in reply


3-5 minutes has passed, only two people are left alive

All right, first I request for a confirmation in the first and second murder. Is Marie, Hina and Elzy really dead at the time of the Red Statement?

I would also like to ask if the last sentence of the mystery : "3-5 minutes have passed, only two persons are left alive" is a Red Statement?

I would also like to know what sort questions I would ask. I know that I can't ask questions like:

Who among the 14 can do a proper post-mortem?
Who is the murderer?
Can you give me a layout of the villa?

Hina and Elzy are really dead at that time
As for Marie, I don't know~

"3-5 minutes have passed, only two persons are left alive"

The only one could do a trusted autopsy is the detective himself/herself, find the detective!

Leonard : Who is the murderer?
Guess who~

Sure, it's just a villa with 3 floors, with blind spots, and the building is just beside a huge cliff.

I can't believe that the detective wasn't shown lol. Okay then, What is the name of the narrator and his/her skills.

Confirm the following deaths as of the end of the game: Marie, Hina, Elzy, Cherry, Ace, Kino, Red, Ashley.

Repeat the following in RED:

The Detective was alive at the end of the game.

The culprit was the same from the start until the end. This includes that the culprit was either doing the murders alone or they have been working together. It also doesn't mean that they were alive at end of the game, whether or not they were killed or suicide.

-The Narrator's name is Jose, and he's the leader of Photography club.

-I can't do that for now, but you can trust the detective's words -it's equivalent to a red truth
but...A detective may die in this story

-All murders are Homicide, there should be no suicide in this story

Can this please be repeated in red:

'At the end of the third murder, six people died.'

At the end of the third murder, six people died

Red and john were both attacked by the same murderer...

========================================================

Ara had the master's key and might have given Cherry a fake one...

Nope, they aren't

there should be no fake keys in this story

Can this please be repeated in red:

'On the third murder, Mark is/was carrying his cellphone with him at the time that Ara called his cellphone.'

This would be hard, having the same case on two different forums... although the other one has had more progress right now...

Ugh, that's the weakest point of the story. Covering the blue with red
Mark was not on the island, but Ara didn't 'call' his cellphone

Just confirming, the killer/s have motive/s for the murder/s...?

The why-dunnit cannot be deduced in the story itself.
or....[size=3]The OP is just lazy to add a motive[/h]

Confirming

Repeat in red

Kevin never got the electric tape from Cherry

EDIT: that red

ts;dr
Posted on the other forum as well

Denied- but...troll truth time
The detective got some of it

I'll be adding a 'Red truth section' on the first post
