PAPER DELIVERY

[photoshot]

Bunbunmaru Newspaper, Dreamland Murder Game Special Edition


Season 129, 3nd of Nagatsuki

Cry Woof! Dog Detective Has a Bone to Pick
Three innocent guests fall victim to VIP, detonator, our own votes

Day two brings us two bodies before evening: Mr. Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu was brutally attacked by the VIP during the night, and Mr. Yuya Sakaki’s corpse was found later that afternoon near the carousel. It is likely that the latter’s death was due to the detonator at work--further speculation suggests that said detonator or the detonator’s recipient may be working together with the VIP.

Evening only bloomed into more chaos as Mr. Levi, uncontested detective from last night, was finally and doggedly challenged by Mr. Missile. When it was clear that the majority of guests favored believing Mr. Missile’s claim over Mr. Levi’s, he admitted to faking the role. I was able to speak with him yesterday in an exclusive interview, complete with explanation for his actions:

' My only objective is to help the detective and keep them alive longer. Wost case scenario, I sewed some confusion into the ranks of the VIPs. If I'm killed, then there's a chance the VIPs thought I was real, and would believe they killed the true detective. If they don't, then there's a very good chance that Legion is not a VIP after all, and the real VIPs consider me a useful distraction.

You can report this however want. Tell them all that I'm a liar, and they'll probably lynch me for it. That's fine. I don't have a buddy, so I will be the only one to die, and I would deserve it for risking my neck. Whoever actually delivered that message could easily come to you and confirm their identity in order to out me. If the original sender is the real detective, then there's more of a chance that they'll do this. If the sender was a VIP, they may let me continue my charade, allowing me to convince everyone to execute Legion — assuming he's innocent.

Regardless, I wouldn't be able to keep this lie up for long, not even past tomorrow. It's not meant to be a long term deception. '

Unfortunately, Mr. Levi was correct. After our discussion, I decided neither to confirm or deny the fact that he had been the note-writer, whose identity remains a mystery. I believe we were all prepared and even expecting to see a counterclaim made against his detective status. We were evidently prepared to vote and execute him when it happened.

More information on Mr. Missile’s detective findings can be found on page X.

  4. Hugs are more fun than murder.
  5. So is food!
  6. Why murder when you can eat food instead?
  7. Do you want to go to jail forever? NO, YOU DON'T.
  8. Or!! Since there's no jail here do you want to be executed?? DIDN'T THINK SO.

[ there are considerably less smiling faces in today’s issue, but the few include the Pines twins’ proud investigation conclusions, Kyoya and Miko discussing voting and Mori at the carnival. there seems to be just the one prominent scandal story and photoshoot--Budding Sweet Transvestite Surprisingly Ratty. the rest of the paper is dedicated to three considerably more solemn obituaries.

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu: He is a capable leader. There is no one who deserves to be called the Super High School Level Yakuza more than he... (- Miss Peko Pekoyama.)

Yuya Sakaki: I wanted to know him. As unfortunate as it is, we expect to see a body show up in the morning, but to have that happen in the middle of the day... (- Mr. Kurapika)

Levi: [H]e's a soldier. A captain, to be precise. You know what that means? That means wherever he's from, he's used to being responsible for many, many lives, or at least, he'd know already how that would feel. (- Mr. Sigma Klim.) ]

[edealistical]

...So it's like I thought. The meaning of that picture was... an accusation.

[She seems unsurprised.]

I deny this allegation. Regardless of the information that Missile believes to have received... I know only that I have harmed no one here. My only purpose has ever been the safety of those trapped in this nightmare.

[Edea sighs a little, but her fear had been exhausted the previous day.]

Those who would seek my death - I will bring my blade to bear yet.

[photoshot]

Yes. The intent was unclear at first and we were very busy during voting--Mr. Missile didn't have time to accuse you while he was contesting Mr. Levi, it appears.

... I'll make a note of your denial, however. [ she doesn't look very happy about it, though. the whole situation. man. ]

[edealistical]

I have nothing more to say than what I have already told you. I believed Levi to be innocent... because I knew myself to be innocent as well.

Missile was wrong once. That could be a reasonable mistake. I do not understand why he pursues a second false allegation...

[photoshot]

You'll notice that your photograph is more shredded than Mr. Levi's. We can... ask Mr. Missile about it later, but like I said before, he wasn't accusing Mr. Levi of being VIP. Just of not being the detective.

[edealistical]

[Her conversation with Aya had put her fears at ease slightly, but she hadn't been able to help her uneasy sleep last night, regardless.]

That may well be... but I have my doubts about what was truly meant to happen yesterday.

I have an idea of the truth in my mind, but I will need more time to understand. But I will not go quietly to my grave in submission. Killed by the VIPS, destroyed by the rogue bomber - those are honorable deaths.

...But not like this.

[eventhandler]

[Royce is not going to be so open with Aya today when he opens the door to see what the news provides - while he takes the newspaper and looks it over, he doesn't greet her like before. Her involvement with the Levi business...well, Royce won't forget something like that.]

...

Were there any murders today? [He just woke up, so he hasn't had the chance to check the bulletin board yet.]

[shoutoku_administrator]

...Two. Miss Koizumi, and Mr. Pines.

[eventhandler]

Two...?? The photographer and the...boy...

[His eyes widen at that. But...he realizes what that means, and frowns down at the newspaper.]

They were "buddies", weren't they...

[photoshot]

There are two. [ yeah, the whole Levi thing is...

she doesn't offer the names and nothing betrays her reaction to them except for the short answer and her carefully blank face. ]

[eventhandler]

Two?

[He furrows his brows.]

What do you mean, "two"? Were...was this the "buddy" system mentioned in the rulebook? Who are the victims...?

[photoshot]

Mr. Pines and Miss Mahiru.

Presumably, yes, they are buddies.

[eventhandler]

...The boy.

[Mahiru, he didn't talk to that much, but Dipper? Dipper was a smart boy. A...boy. The VIPs had killed a child...]

I...see. What a...[Tragedy? Shame?] Where are their bodies located? Have you...seen them yet?

[chronic]

[ he is back in full extremely serious Mysterion mode........ ]

Good job.

[photoshot]

[ who is this extremely mysterious kid, she has no idea. ]

I try.

[chronic]

I'm sure Princess Kenny appreciates it. I'll pass it on to her.

[photoshot]

... Yees, give her my regards. Wherever she is.

[chronic]

She's fixing her makeup.

[ COMPLETELY STRAIGHT FACED. ]

Re: PAPER DELIVERY

[crueltobekind]

[Kaoru's actually a little grateful for the paper today. All the deaths had been pretty overwhelming, and he's only just managed to gather himself together enough to . . . well. To really function at all.

Unfortunately this news really is no better than the last few days, and even more confusing.]

What the hell have I missed?!

[glasshole]

It seems a dog is our leader now, and is outdoing Levi considerably.

[crueltobekind]

The dog is?

[glasshole]

You really haven't been paying much attention, have you?

Well, no one has proposed any strategy other than following the dog's lead, so...

[sparklyrichbastard]

As Kyouya said, the puppy is now our leader! All hail Missile the Wonder Pooch!

[crueltobekind]

Of course you'd be excited about him.

[sparklyrichbastard]

He's a brilliant little dog! He even knows what the word "detective" means! With Missile on our side, we'll sniff out the VIPs in no time!
