Retter posted:So is "an outsider who sneaked into the school" just a cover-up story E-ko pushed on the rest, or is it representative of someone (if any of them DO represent members of the class), like a traitor who somehow snuck into the class maybe? If this is foreshadowing of the murder to come, I think the "outsider who sneaked into the school" rumor coincides with Kirakira-chan. As I mentioned before, I believe Kirakira is going to be a serious red herring just thrown in on the murder scene to throw people off the scent-- E-ko is doing the same thing by spreading a rumor of someone doing it that has nothing to do with the murderer, most likely E-ko herself. E: I just went back to the library scene where Kirakira was first talked about, and the only people present for the Kirakira fangirling was Sonia, Hajime and Peko.

Kazutaka Kodaka must be a pretty big Nirvana fan, considering that, Sonia Nevermind of Novoselic, and an actual namedrop of Kurt Cobain have all shown up.

The track also already appeared in this game before, though not in the version that's in the latest update. In fact, I'm pretty surprised no one even mentioned the two nifty 16-bit versions of AAA and Beautiful Ruin we got here.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the stolen swimsuits mentioned in the game. It made me think of this way back in the beginning. orenronen posted:
I wonder if the incident in the game was committed by whoever is controlling Monomi? I think that the game is supposed to point to something that happened before they were transported to the island, like the photographs Naegi kept finding in DR1 did, but I don't see how that's going to be a motive for them.

I doubt it. Monobear has made a it a point to not go over exactly the same ground the first game covered, so I don't think that we will get random photographs showing the past. Besides, the purpose of those was to screw with the characters since they didn't know they were missing memories, and the current cast knows about the memory wipe.

 * ding dong ding dong *    Um, This is an announcement from Hope's Peak Academy's Field Trip Executive Committee... Good morning, you bastards! It’s another perfect tropical day! Let's enjoy it for all it’s worth!It's morning... As expected, sleeping didn't help me figure out anything about the game. I have no idea how that thing can be anyone's motive.  I guess... I’ll just have to discuss it with everyone....Anyway, I should go to the restaurant.  Re: Beautiful Morning  'Morning, Tsumiki. Uyu... Good morning... We're having good weather today... I'm so glad the sky's clear...! I mean, if it was cloudy today, our plans... Huh? Plans?  Wah! I...It's nothing! I was just talking to myself! P...Please excuse me...! What "plans" was she talking about? Is something going on?    Hrm... Hrrrrrrrrmmmmmm... Why are you... grunting?  Don't worry! Ibuki's grunting is nothing like Nekomaru-chan's! It has nothing to do with body fluids! Ibuki’s troubles are much more sublime and serious! So, what are they?  Ibuki's thinking about her next genre! Genre...?  Ibuki wants to put her girl band days behind her! She's gonna break new ground in a whole new genre! Right. Got 'ya.  But, she can't think of anything that seems to fit. Hrrrrmmm... Hey, Hajime-chan! Come let me know if you have a flash of inspiration! Uh... Is this something she should really decide based just on inspiration?   Good morning, Saionji.  I wonder why big sis Nanami never gets tired of playing the same game over and over and over....That wasn't a proper way to answer a greeting.   I'll never understand those stupid nerds. Not that I even want to, of course. Honestly, everyone on this island's a huuuge weirdo. Ah, everyone except big sis Koizumi! When I talk to any of you, I'm always afraid your weirdness is gonna rub off on me. No self awareness at all, huh?   ...'Morning. 'Morning, Hinata-kun. Hey, you replied straight away today! That's rare.  Yeah. It's because I just finished playing.  But, more importantly... I'm a little worried. Is someone bringing food to Komaeda-kun? I did yesterday, but... I'm not sure about anyone else.  ............ I wonder... if I should go check on him later. Well, I'm off to the restaurant.  And so are we.   Good morning, Hinata-kun. Yeah, 'Morning...I didn’t really feel like expanding on that greeting, so I quickly filled a plate with food... ...And sat at a table by the window.   What's up, Hinata? Is that all you're eating?  Or maybe you’re just eating too much, big sis Owari.  You're chastising me? All you eat is candy! Nothing's wrong with an all-candy diet! I eat four colors of fruit-flavored gummy every day! That provides all the healthy nourishment I need! You should just eat regular fruit, y’know. ............I just can't find a good opening to bring up that game... I mean, we did tentatively agree on not playing it, and then I went and played it anyway...   Incidentally... are we a person short? ...Hm?I looked around the restaurant, and indeed... ...He’s right. Koizumi isn’t here.   That's strange. She hasn’t missed a breakfast so far...  Perhaps she is feeling a little bit under the weather?  Could be, could be... But, don't you think that maybe...  W...What are you saying?!  Hm? I just saw her outside the hotel earlier.  Oh, you did? That's great! Jeez! What were you thinking, you dummy? Were you trying to jinx it?  As punishment, we're going to push you off a cliff. And we'll make you run around in a circle going woof woof woof first.  T...That's not how I wanna die!  But, what’s Mahiru-chan doing outside the hotel?  She said she wanted to be alone. I asked her to come to breakfast but she turned me down.  She... wants to be alone? P...Perhaps she is going to play that game...  What are you saying, you stupid pig?! No way big sis Koizumi's gone to play some stupid video game! She's nothing like that slow-witted nerd girl over there! ............ Ah. Are you, perhaps, talking about me?  Hiyuu... And I'm the stupid pig, aren't I...?Somehow... This still doesn’t seem like a good time to talk about the game... Then, as I considered my options... Someone approached my table and sat next to me.   ...Yo, Hinata. Got a minute? W...What do you want?Souda leaned forward toward me, shoved his face up to my ear... ...And started whispering.   Today. 2:30 in the afternoon. Come meet me at the supermarket... And definitely don't tell anyone else about it. ...Huh? I'll tell you what it's all about when you come... Right now, the others are watching....And why is that so bad?  And what are you lower life forms discussing? I...It's nothing! Besides, it has nothing to do with you. So... just go away now...  ............  Heh. How presumptuous. You earnestly believe your petty doings are of any interest to me?!  Fuwahaha! Amusing! Most amusing! I do enjoy the vanity of lower beings!  What concern has a king for the ants he tramples on?!  I am Gundam Tanaka! The supreme ruler! The Gods of Darkness themselves flee in terror at the mere sound of my name!!  All that I require... is silence and callousness...  Silence... and callousness... ...........That's a little sad... I think he hates always being alone.   So, Hinata... Don't forget. 2:30. And try not to do too much before you get there. I need you at full strength. Huh? Full strength...? Anyway, see ya! W...What was that all about?  Not only did I not get a chance to talk about the game, all I got out of breakfast was that strange... appointment with Souda... ...And before I knew it, the breakfast meeting was over. Um... I promised Souda I'll meet him at the supermarket at 2:30... But, what did he mean when he said he needed me at full strength? Well, whatever... I'll try not walking too much today. FREE TIME START We have a date with Souda in the afternoon, so there's time for just one free time session. To keep things interesting, we're back to choosing the character you do want to see, but I'm keeping the characters who won last time out of the poll. Since you can only choose a single character this time, remember - the fact that a someone's name appears on the poll doesn't necessarily mean they will be available in the game! The poll is here.

Oren, just before the voting gets fully underway, why is Gundam left off and Peko left in? Didn't Peko win the last free time event? E/ Saionji seems a bit like a Ishimaru to Mahiru's Mondo. I'm still annoyed by her assholish attitude, but she seems to have signs of traits from one of my favorites so she seems like she can turn around in my book.

Saionji is such an daily detestable character, and if that's what they were going for then its very effective. And I know it's a wasted vote, but I still voted for visiting Komaeda. I think he's the most interesting person on the island right now, and the last time we saw him to bring him food was very interesting.

What does it really matter if he's busy then we just go to the second place winner aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa What I really don't understand is why everyone cares so much about people voting for Komaeda when it doesn't ruin anything. At all. It is not "wasting a vote". If anything, it's voting for an extra piece of dialogue/text.

Wow, the two most annoying characters are winning the poll right now. The way so many of the characters are acting secretive makes it hard to predict who's going to be killed. Right now there seem to be hints about Koizumi and Komaeda but I doubt Komaeda would die this early.

Always Vote 1 Komaeda.  Last time I was kind of hoping for some time with Souda though, so I'm happy we'll be getting some plot time with him now regardless of the vote. I wasn't expecting him to have any mysterious plans going on in this chapter.

Souda nooo. Still a good guy. I stand by it. He's the Ishimaru of this game - dumb and easily manipulated. Nidai might be doing the manipulating with regards to the Komaeda thing - or maybe someone else is getting the tough boys to do the dirty work? Time will tell, I suppose. Still a big fan of Saionji as a character. I really hope she gets some (a lot of) backstory.

I definitely like the idea of making the vote different for each free time event. Also, Akane seems to have shown a bit more of her selfless side, in her own way. She was concerned over Hinata not getting enough to eat. This is odd, because the less the others eat, the more food for her. Food also seems to be extremely important to her, it's pretty significant for her to put the wellbeing of another person over food. I think that little scene added a lot to Akane's character.

Plus, I wont't put it past the game for it to turn you away twice, and then fake you out later and have Hinata actually work up the courage one of these times. Plus I don't actually care who else wins, so whatever, it's all good. But this is a derail.

Yeah, he reminds me a lot of the protagonist in Steins;Gate (currently being LPed by ProfessorProf), who (at least at the start) has gotten so caught up in his own constant playacting that he's barely able to relate to the outside world outside of it. Still, at least Gundam has the Four Gods of Destruction by his side.

Echoing those above me, I also think that's true. Maybe he only ever really connected with animals, hence why he's so protective of them... now I bet he'd make a great friend I think Nanami might have a similar backstory? She's spacey and way into gaming, but she also seems really sharp. She seems unfazed by any pettiness that goes on too, and actually quite mature. Aside from her references I think that a lot of her dialogue has been helpful to Hinata in some way. Only more Free Time will tell...

Seems to be pretty obvious that Koizumi and Nagito won't be available, and likely neither will Souda. I can't be the only one suspicious of Tsumiki's 'plans'? And Souda's plan is interesting in that it doesn't seem to involve Nidai - meaning either it doesn't involve Komaeda, or he wants to discuss something in private away from him.

Hey Oren, why don't you just show us the results of trying to talk to the people who aren't available? It'll satisfy all the people who voted for that character but it can't be more than a single screen or so of dialogue, so it's not too much work for you I would think. Plus it won't take up one of the two actual events. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
