DAY 01

[thecomputer]

[Good morning! The doors unlock at 07:00, the enforced sleep effect wearing off just a few minutes prior. As you file out into the facility for the morning, it won’t take long to figure out what’s different. The first clue is probably the corpse in the Central Hub - the body that formerly belonged to Seryu Ubiquitous.

Once everyone’s up, there is an announcement from Friend Computer.]

Good morning, Citizens! Last night, participant Seryu-R-CIT-1 was terminated due to Communist action. In addition, one participant was successfully converted from a Citizen into a Communist. There are now 13 Citizens and 6 Communists.

Trial 01 will begin at 20:00.

[At 08:00, the usual fleet of cleaning droids will clear up the corpse and surrounding mess.

On the profiles list, Seryu’s full User ID is now visible, and her status has changed to DEAD.]

[As soon as Moge-ko sees the corpse, her stomach begins to rumble. Meat. Actual meat. Not like the 'food' she was forced to eat. Meat!]

Meat meat meat meat. ♪

[And she starts to cut into Seryu's corpse with her spiral-tipped knife.]

[staunton]

[ ........ ]

...What the hell are you doing? Stop that.

[dictator_ko]

I had nothing good to eat. Moge-ko is starving! And she's not gonna waste meat as good as this. ♪

[staunton]

Whoa there. Don't you realize that this is a crime scene? You're not supposed to eat the evidence.

[dictator_ko]

Do you really think you'll find any clues? ♪

[staunton]

We won't find anything if you eat the body before we can investigate it, little lady.

[dictator_ko]

Detective Moge-ko already knows what happened. The Communists picked who they want to die and then our kidnapper killed her. Just look at the rules. ♪

[staunton]

I don't care about the rules right now. A crime scene's a crime scene, and it needs to be investigated.

[dictator_ko]

Moge-ko's hungry right now and I'll get my MEAT one WAY or ANOTHER.

[staunton]

[ ...Jesus christ, this fucking girl. Let's...try flattery or something. ]

Surely a cute girl like yourself can wait a little longer?

[dictator_ko]

Oh do you like Moge-ko? ♪

[thefaceofjustice]

MISS! PLEASE REFRAIN FROM MUTILATING THE BODY WHILE THE INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY!

[dictator_ko]

Do you really think you'll find any clues? ♪

[thefaceofjustice]

There's clues all over here! What could be more clue-like than bloody footprints??

What I ought to do is place you under arrest for tampering with the crime scene!

[dictator_ko]

Just look at the rules and you'll see what happened. The Communists picked her and our kidnapper killed her.♪

[in_plain_sight]

Moge-ko. Stop.





...That's going to taste bad.

[Appeals to decency and the spirit of cooperation obviously aren't going to cut it. You deal with people like Moge-ko by learning to speak their language.]

[dictator_ko]

Oh? Why do you think she'll taste bad? ♪

[in_plain_sight]

Um... everybody knows people with that hair color don't tas--no. Not that. Uh...

She's... clearly been dead for hours, and it's not even cold in here. ...Isn't fresh meat better?

[dictator_ko]

Oh, did you have an idea of where to get fresh meat? ♪

[in_plain_sight]

There'll be plenty when we get out of here.

[Hopefully she'll settle for something other than cannibalism when the time comes. But, you know, either way, better if she waits until they're out of here.]

[dictator_ko]

Don't think I don't know you're just trying to talk me out of it. But Moge-ko'll forgive you if you show you love her. ♪

[in_plain_sight]

...How should I do that?

[dictator_ko]

I'll let you think of something. ♪

[in_plain_sight]

[...Showing love the way normal people do is easily the thing in the world Mukuro knows least about. She can rule out kissing, so that just leaves things she would do with Junko.................................]

...You can punch me, if you want.

[cantarellacookie]

[Anthy hangs back and doesn't bother to approach her--for obvious reasons--but she's staring at Moge-ko with a look of shock and disgust on her face. The disdain in her eyes is palpable.]
