C gotta catch 'em all...
This is unrelated to our skills... I think.

We already have them, that's why we were able to stitch Amanozaki's arm in the previous night and determine the time of death.

Foolish. We should have been thankful to not have been pressed about the murder, not drawn attention to it.

Ffs.

Of course we now have confidence to straight attack mori, but ask him out, nooo.

B>D - Now, I would lean toward C, but the last time we told them about our memory loss, they assumed we were the killer because we could not provide an alibi and A just gets them to split up anyway. If we've come this far, it'd be a waste to give up just because we touched a nerve - and we DID touch a nerve, didn't we? Nothing we said was an accusation or a "conclusion" as Tokigawa put it. Defensive. Also, he leaned back and closed his eyes so as to calm himself and not make eye contact when he lied. No, he is clearly hiding something. What, I cannot say. Maybe his lady-friend knows.


Also, Nevill, it's not exactly fair to scoff at the idea of that last choice giving us Liam Neeson skills. All the previous choices that were like that resulted in a skill gain. Case and point, we determined the cause and time of death because we chose medical skills before.

yes, G would undoubtedly get us killed or locked up (even IF we took Mori down successfully). At least that previous choice improved our confidence in striking a foe, if nothing else. Maybe the next time we are confronted by a threat, we won't freeze up in panic and instead come up with a plan of action.
I TOLD YOU.
Would probably have come up anyway. You don't think they were just going to forget, did you?

Why?

The primary motivation for leaving the building this time seems to be avoiding the murderer. By being the suspect, we give them something to do that can potentially solve their problems if only they expose us. It is a matter that should be of interest to every one of them.

How do you think they are going to split after you dangle such a hook in front of them?

At least they would follow you to the ward, and start playing detectives. We'll see what we find there.

Who is giving up? You are giving up! :rpgcodex:

You want to pursue the investigation? Get everyone in the ward and start digging. Maybe you'll discover another note or something.

What exactly waving a phone with disturbing photos in front of all these people going to solve?

I am sure that a daydream about killing people counts as acquiring assassin's skills. :P

I don't see any skills on display here. I see a reaction of a cornered animal that lashes out at a first target.

Like... I don't know, when we charged a corpse with a mop? Or when we dived in a pool to save a team-mate? Or when we distracted the spirit by becoming its target?

That's how and where you get balls and confidense, not by masturbating to guro fantasies.

I am pretty certain that we already have what it takes to confront whatever threat we encounter.

It could, but we'd also have to explain why we took the photo, and I am not convinced we are good at explaining things.

Besides, the fact that we don't have a gun now proves nothing. We could discard it.

I don't know. I am in favor of doing something to keep our group busy and derail the everyday scenario as much as possible.

But how exactly will we attack him? Will we be strangling him with a stethoscope? Is it the long-awaited chance for our inner Liam Neeson-ness to shine?

You'll slide over the coffee table and then use his trenchcoat against him by pulling it over his head, Jackie Chan-style, before proceeding with the rest of your combo. :dance:

Mori just made himself a target when he wasn't before, and some people find it a lot easier to let their hands do all the talking.:dance:

Current tally:

A - 7
B - 5
C - 2
E - 1

I have to see this. Let us engage Mori-senpai in goofy martial arts combat! Flopping to E.
:salute:

And yet you denied us giving a hug to Amanozaki. :rpgcodex:

What's up with endorsing a violent behavior but not letting us show our creepy appreciation for the people we like?

You thought about Uehara, not Amanozaki, in the swimsuit scene. :happytrollboy:

That was before the swimsuit scene. And you never let us hug Uehara either. Not ever when she died. :cry:

I see us railroaded to become a bloodthirsty psychopath who goes nuts because of all those unexpressed feels!! :M

You didn't trigger enough points with Amanozaki (dialogue scene in the lobby) before the swimsuit scene, and you didn't after. :mrfussy:

To get into a particular route, you'll have to focus on a single character. Spreading out the attention won't help. :M

How do you focus on a character that runs away from you at a first opportunity? :argh:

We need to find some rope this night. That is, if we don't end up bound in a storage room ourselves.

Maybe we can propose that Mori shackles us to Sakimura if we raise our suspicion meter enough. Since he hever leaves Uehara's side, maybe we can be together that way.

Hmmm... is there a Mori route?
