1st Investigation [ Video ]

[autopsic]

[ Nothing will be able to distress Kyouko, and for her world being destroyed? She was reluctant to believe it, however was it much better, from living within a death school?! One thing that bothered her was the collar wrapped around her neck, and what purpose it served.

It wasn't soon before long that she had found any means of communication, to find out where this place was, and what she could do about it. As the video turned on, stoic expression would be met, alongside a pale-skinned detective.

Her expression did not change, only trying her own patience and ready to speak. ]

I have questions to ask to those who happen to be watching.

[ Now she waits. ]

Comments

[autopsic]

Alright, I will wait here.

[ She nods.

Saying anything else would be deemed unnecessary, and turning off the feed she picked herself up; wandering towards the library shelves to see if anything interesting would be found.

That was where Kyouko would be, whenever he arrived. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

[It took him seconds to realize that he just talked to someone who had went home and forgot their experience here.

And a few more seconds to realize that he needs to book it there.

And fast.

So he's going to arrive looking quite out of breath.]

K-kirigiri-san...

[His eyes still can't believe that she's as well as she was before all of Halloween happened.]

[autopsic]

[ Her hand dropped from the shelf once hearing her own name, before turning back to face Naegi.

She notices him breathless, somehow he seems to be looking at her strangely; more so from usual. ]

Has something happened, Naegi-kun?

[yougotthatwrong]

N-no, I just ran here...

[Going to lean on one of the shelves, still looking a bit winded before continuing on.]

You're really... Kirigiri-san, right?

[He's really just making sure at this point, that he's not dreaming and all.]

[autopsic]

[ She'll give him space for a few moments, before staring blankly at the teen in front. Naegi was most definitely acting strange, but why could that be?

She didn't feel anything, maybe a ping of confusion. Did he honestly not think it was her? Maybe strange things had in fact happened inside the tower, what she had been warned about from the other residents. ]

Yes, Naegi-kun. [ Her voice was stable, as normal. ] I am Kyouko Kirigiri. Why do you ask?

[yougotthatwrong]

I-I have to make sure that you're [takes another breath.]

Not just something the admin conjured for their monthly experiments.

[autopsic]

That I'm.. [ Naegi bro, what has even happened since she's been gone. ]

No.

I'm not aware of their monthly experiments, but I assure you; I am real, Naegi-kun.

[yougotthatwrong]

[ A lot has happened tbh.

Hearing that from her gave him relief as he actually looked a bit more relaxed now.]

That's good to hear.

[But uh, it's not really the time for this kind of thing.]

Have others told you about this place yet?

[autopsic]

[ A short feeling of distress washes over her, she turns her head quickly, back to Naegi as she thinks over his question.

Wouldn't yes be the simple answer here? ]

Yes, however I'm not one to believe nonsense until I witness it with my own eyes. [ At least her classmates were people she could trust, if not them.. then Naegi. ]

Tell me what you already know, Naegi-kun.

[yougotthatwrong]

...

[...Ah, so she doesn't really remember, this makes it sort of easier for him, even if he feels bad about it.]

This tower is managed by a group of people called administrators. They run and control all of the functions of the tower, be it construction, power, check-ups, food restock and...

The experiments that happen monthly.

[autopsic]

[ She knows to question it, but Naegi acting so strange is only unsettling to her. Thankfully her emotions won't show, still odd no matter which way she looks at it. ]

.. And this is not affiliated with Hope's Peak in any sort of way.

[ She mostly mutters to herself, dissatisfied with somewhat knowing the truth. Hearing this leads her to believe somehow this can be one in the same. ]

What are these experiments, Naegi-kun? I am not able to decode and know what to do unless.. you speak of them.

[yougotthatwrong]

No, they're not. Monobear was once trapped by them here after all.

[There's a shake of his head at the first sentence, though at the second sentence, he gave a small sigh as he continued his explanation.]

It differs according to the administrator in charge, one of them would be scientific and holds experiments that deals with our bodies, another would warp our perception of time and space.

...

And one of them just plays sadistic games to pit us against each other.

[autopsic]

[ Even the mere mention of Monobear is unsettling, if only for a moment; a clear look of anger crosses her usual stoic demeanour. It was only for a moment, anger was rarely something she felt, unless it was necessary. ]

.. He was here? [ There's an awful lot of venom in her tone, more so from usual, well when regarding whoever was behind Monobear had done something to her body; to her father, that much was given. ] You did not find out who was behind him, obviously.

[ She too will sigh, now trying to calm her temper. Although the words Naegi is speaking only causes her to frown. More administrators? This is sounding more and more like Hope's Peak by the second. At least she had adapted to such an environment already. ]

.. So it is not much different from the environment we were in before this. Have you adapted, Naegi-kun?

[yougotthatwrong]

Unfortunately, no.

[There's a shake of his head as said that, even in this kind of place where everyone's trapped, the short time the bear was here in this place was just not enough of a time to unmask him.]

Yes, I have, in a sense. Enough to note some kind of pattern on which Administrator is running this month, at the very least.

[autopsic]

If only we could understand why they would wish to save him of all people.

[ Mostly she's mumbling to herself, only wanting to figure out the mystery and while finding out who the Mastermind was-- that was still her top priority. ]

So it switches each month then? Have you figured out how many are here, Naegi-kun? [ She might be scraping the barrel, but at least anything would do. ] The information I have already received and gathered was that there had only been one, or at least some sort of group was behind this.

Much as it was at Hope's Peak.

[yougotthatwrong]

All-in-all, four. Jason, Ruana, Dax and Riki are the ones that has control over the events.

[He took a breath before continuing for a bit more.]

There's a fifth one, Zo, but he's younger than all of them, and is the one in charge of whoever arrived here. He's not that good at it, though, so there's moments where he summoned someone who shouldn't be summoned, like Monobear.

[autopsic]

I see.

[ She'll keep a note to look about for those four. ]

As young as a child, Naegi-kun?! [ She's surprised but also thankful that he knows this much, it will help later down the track; so she thinks. ] At least we have the advantage of knowing, and remembering Monobear's actions.

Waiting to see what would happen should be harmless.

[yougotthatwrong]

Usually it isn't, but it wouldn't hurt to be really prepared in the downtime just in case.

[something he's working on right now, tbh.]

[autopsic]

It would never hurt to be prepared for anything, Naegi-kun. [ As a detective, she knows this. ]

Is it that you are already prepared?

[yougotthatwrong]

Mentally, I suppose.

[because there's no way his body will ever be ready for their tortures.]

[autopsic]

What is it you have seen?

[ She idly looks about, to make sure no one would be around to hear the answers she so wants to hear. After much deliberating she turns back, gaze focusing on the boy in front. ]

Perhaps it is not safe. [ Counting the last time Kirigiri had meddled too much.. now she remembers it. Almost killing Naegi or herself again is not on her list of things to repeat. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

A lot. Mutations to other residents, people killing each other and...

[The sight of her dead body dangling limply against his hands, lifeless eyes staring at him with shock lining her face.]

...Yeah, a lot.
