[ looking up from ink-spattered fingers and pages, what's up.

oh wow, that's up. time to skim this hardcore rebuttal. ] ... I have to admire the conviction these two have.

Limited is right. But let's see how far we can get in copying before night falls.

[photonement]

It takes a lot of commitment to hone your talent until you can be selected to attend Hope's Peak Academy...

[A bittersweet force tugs at Mahiru's mouth at the opportunity she thought that acceptance letter granted, but she keeps it shut.]

Seriously, though, I'm not sure where the asterisks should go in mammaries.

[photoshot]

This whole debate is almost footnote-worthy in itself...

Hope's Peak? Is that where you're from? [ always got time to snoop into peoples' backstories. ]

[photonement]

Sorta, yeah. The school where we were all supposed to go.

[Writing writing writing writing]

You can see he really probably knows his stuff...

[photoshot]

Were you on your way there when you found yourself here?

[photonement]

Sorta... but we were taken on an unscheduled school trip to an island instead...

[photoshot]

Ayaya, a sudden island vacation detour? What a twist!

[photonement]

Only gets worse from there. You should interview Gundam about it, he remembers more than me.

[photoshot]

I might just do that if we have a spare moment between voting and clues and bodies.

[photonement]

Yeah........

[She's tabbing back to the carnival picture to guage its sizing but, thinking:]

You know what I keep worrying about... the room searches. Not being able to give out our stuff, that's really inconvenient.

[photoshot]

It rather is. Unless we cut off the limb of the deceased to swipe it, anything inside is lost.

[photonement]

And it seems like most of us ruled that out earlier... you know what I never figured out? Would we even have anything sharp enough? Does a kitchen knife work for that?

[photoshot]

Maybe if someone applies enough force. It'd be messy work, though--you'd have to be really desperate.

[photonement]

It really looks like we're almost all resigned to playing this game by the rules instead... but that can't be helped.

[photoshot]

... I agree with you that it's a shame the rooms are locked in. If there were valuable clues or information someone couldn't--or was afraid to broadcast before they died, it'd be lost forever.

[photonement]

Yeah... It's just one more time this game pushes you into the corner of trusting another person... or ending alone. You could leave a trail of clues to a drop point, but then anyone could solve that!

[photoshot]

That might be the gamemakers' reasoning. In a place like this, trusting someone is definitely a leap of faith, even though any of us could get killed anytime.

[photonement]

[Nod]

If only we could all tell each other everything, we could single out those VIPs right away and that would be that.

[photoshot]

It wouldn't make much of a story, but I admit that would be a nice outcome regardless.

[photonement]

You just have to pitch it right! Why not make it a big scandal for the organization responsible?
