K is the 11th letter of the alphabet, therefore he's the 11th participant in the Nonary Game, ergo he's Not-Snake. C'mon people, this is obvious.

Wrong. The digital root of 11 is 2, ergo Snake. Mystery solved.

K has three strokes so he's actually Santa clearly.

Gives us more story on what happened after 999. Too bad it's information we already knew. I'm still curious about what the deal is with Alice...

Whatever the reasons people got grabbed, they should just have K be some random shmuck in a suit. "Can't have a nonary game without nine people, duh. We stuck him in there to mess with you."

Clover posted:I know I've never met Luna, or Dio, or Tenmyouji, or Quark, or Phi... Wait, wait, hold on here. Didn't Ten said something to make Clover trust him enough to put ally in the other route? Doesn't that indicate that Ten knows Clover, somehow?

I hope Alice hurries up and gets murdered again so we don't have to look at her dumb outfit anymore. Even when she's standing next to Clover I can't get over how bad it is.

Huh. I wonder why we heard this information here and not in the previous route. Alice and Clover were together then too, weren't they? Maybe they found a thing in the new place they went to?

Didn't they have a little falling out after Clover betrayed Alice in the AB game?

I don't think we'd previously overheard them discussing the Nonary Game and Zero in the last route, so Sigma wasn't able to challenge them about it.

VLR OST: [Sinisterness] Listen in: [English/Japanese] Hmph. Another dude... This place is turning into a real sausagefest. What're you telling me for? ... Oh yeah... You were one of the first people in here, weren't you? Yeah. So? Well, did you notice anything? Although I guess I did notice that the sofa's pretty comfortable. Uh... Okay, but how about something more... useful? I'd say that the comfort level of a sofa is pretty useful. Right. That? What, you can't tell? It's a dirty magazine. Oh come on! It's about astronomy! Can you even read? Can you even see? Just look at those rings on Saturn. Don't they excite you? Different strokes, I guess... It appears to be a special dedicated to a lunar eclipse. The cover says the eclipse can be observed on December 31st, 2028. Oh, right. Yeah, I guess it did say something like that... Six days, huh? You mean today is December 25th? Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it is. Depends on how long I was out after they hit me with that gas, I suppose. ... Did you find anything? Nothing of interest. You better not be hiding something. There really wasn't anything helpful. At least, nothing that could help us escape. A cat? What, so now Zero Sr.'s a crazy cat lady? And just what the hell are we supposed to do with that tidbit? Well, it's more useful than how comfortable the sofa is... Hey! The sofa's comfort level is very useful! Um... I think you must have misunderstood me. This book isn't for, ah, "cat ladies". Uh, I don't really give a poo poo about the breed, genius. Anyway, I'm a dog person, if you couldn't tell. No, it's not an issue of breed... Okay, okay, okay. So it's a story about poor Mr Schrödinger and his beloved cat, right? Don't tell me: The cat dies at the end. Boo-loving-hoo. Listen in: [English/Japanese] So this is where you were. Nope. We got squat. You were looking, though, right? ... Hey. Answer me. Oh, uh, well, I mean, we weren't wasting time... I was just asking them what they'd found. And...? Nothing... Useless... Oh, yeah. I almost forgot... ...? It'd take too long to explain. Just have a look at this. [Music fades out] Listen in: [English/Japanese] Yeah. We found it in the infirmary safe. The headline says... "Radical-6 Infection Spreads, Cure Continues to Elude Authorities." Wh-What...? What is... Radical-6...? Just read the article. 999 OST: [Riddle and Puzzle] Okay... "The Radical-6 virus continues to spread across the globe like wildfire." "The WHO has confirmed... ...that the death toll is estimated to have passed 100,000 victims." "Immediate quarantine of any infected patients is strongly advised." ... Listen in: [English/Japanese] I mean, I certainly hope it isn't the case, but... Could it be that this facility is, in fact, one of the quarantine locations that clipping mentions? Then... you're saying we're all infected with this Radical-6 virus? I donno... It doesn't really fit. I mean, none of us have shown any kind of symptoms, right? Well, I do feel a little strange. I've lost my balance a few times. My body feels kind of weird too, now that you mention it. That's probably just because you were asleep for so long. Are you suggesting that our incarceration here has nothing to do with this article? Maybe if we'd been thrown in here after this virus started spreading... But right now it looks like we were abducted before this thing turned into a pandemic. How's that make any kind of sense? Besides... You found that article in the safe, right? That means Zero Sr. put it there specifically so we could find it and read it. Why would Zero do something like that? So that we'd think this place is a quarantine facility. So that we'd think what Zero wants us to think. How do you mean? And this thing is just a... a prop. Something to set the scene. Zero's trying to freak us out. You've got a point... If it was real, why cut it out? Just leave a newspaper with the article circled in red pen or something. Right? That lazy son of a bitch... Probably too much of a pain in the rear end to fake a whole paper. The other side? Oh... Uh, hold on... Why would a newspaper just be black on one side? Well, perhaps there was an ad there... An ad? Some sort of full-page ad, with a black background. No. I'd bet you money an article like this was front-page news. It's too big of a story. And I really don't think they put full-page ads on the back of the front page. Exactly. Even I know that, and I can count the number of times I've read a paper on one hand. ... If Zero Sr. really wanted to trick us, why not go all-out? Only an idiot would fall for this. It's pathetic. Am I right or what? I suppose you do have a point. Yes... I agree. Besides, I don't remember ever hearing any news about any pandemic... If it was really killing hundreds of thousands of people, I'm pretty sure that would've been on the news or something... You're right, we would have heard about it... Hm... [Music fades out] Good idea. I'll be off then. What about you guys? Okay. See you all later.

I didn't really realize how much I was enjoying Sigma's freedom from Phi until she showed back up again. I guess the constant snipes get old after a while - but maybe that would be different depending on how competent you were at the puzzles.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:It's almost hysterical how much of an idiot Dio is. Tempered by the fact that he's also an incredible rear end in a top hat. Anybody who sneers at the death of a kitty-cat like that is a big rear end in a top hat. I'd believe he was the killer in a heartbeat if I wasn't expecting some sort of double-reveal that he's actually some sort of secret nice guy. But that would also require him to actually be secretly smart, wouldn't it? Uh....geez...

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:That was a very intelligent discussion about the article, and the points they raised made perfect sense. The problem with the conclusion to make is that it depends entirely on how smart Zero thinks the group is. If he thinks they're dumb or unintelligent, then yeah, he put the article in there to make them think that it's a quarantine facility when it isn't. If he assumes they're at least intelligent enough as this segment shows them to be, then he placed the article there, making it look fake, in order to lull them into a false sense of security and that this is a quarantine facility and/or R-6 is a real and relevant disease after all. So it's a tough call to make as the viewer. It doesn't help that we have the meta-information that Radical-6 is important because of the Law of Conservation of Detail.

Yeah, the article could be a double bluff. I'm really not a fan of "Surprise, while you were sleeping, the apocalypse happened!" stories, though. I find those just too depressing to make me care about the surviving characters.

Speedball posted:Artist challenge: somebody draw little Quark taking a battleaxe to K and a lance to Dio. Or possibly just standing there with those oversized armaments in his hands. No tablet, so traditional art will have to do (pencil on kids' colored paper). We all know that there's no way that he can hold them himself - it's all about his hat. The secret is that the metal boxen open to reveal THE CLAMPS! (or clamp-like devices)
