I think it's pretty obvious that the fantastic party is gonna be crashed by their gracious headmaster. They aren't aware of his predilection for showing up wherever, whenever the hell he wants. Either that or it'll become.....a midnight murder mystery dinner theater!

The prize may or may not be tangible, but you won it all the same. Honestly, I don't know why they didn't just have a sprite for Nagito holding out the chopsticks. Since they went to the effort of drawing that picture anyway...

I think Togami is doing this to avoid murder, little does he know that it's the perfect opportunity for murder. Or maybe he's planning something else entirely. The only person I'm worried about is Mr. SHSL Gangster. Some poo poo is going to go down with him.

Nagito's setting off some serious alarms for me: he was the first to support Togami's party idea, he was the one who suggested the lodge, he prepared those lots in advance (and held them himself, so he could presumably have rigged the draw to give himself cleaning duty). I'm not sure what he's plotting, but I'm convinced he's plotting something.

Kuzuryuu is missing, only Peko claims to have seen him on her way in, and she decides she's going to be the one to see him afterward. That's not suspicious in the least. I don't know what her motive would be, but then, that's what the trial's for. Now just watch, next update Kuzuryuu will turn up alive, and really was just off being Too Cool For School.

I'm tempted to pick Kuzuryuu, but I'm worried that we may get a situation like in DR1 where the character isn't available for free time being they're off being loners. No point wasting a vote on someone who we may not even be able to talk with.

ApplesandOranges posted:Yeah, I wonder how Nagito did that stick thing without Kuzuuryu being there? Did he remove a stick before the drawing? Or is that going to be an important thing later on? What's way more interesting is that he made the lots because he figured there wouldn't be a volunteer to clean up a house he supposedly didn't know they were going to use for a party he supposedly didn't know was going to happen. Unless, of course, the story's implying Nagito figured there would be a situation of any kind sometime in the future where they'd have no willing volunteers.

evilspacehopper posted:What about Monomi? Or did she leave after her last line about crying? She left. I usually show this by inserting a screenshot with just a background where Monobear or Monomi were when they leave a scene (in the game, they slide down the screen with a "swish" sound effect). Also, the fact the music changed back from her theme is also a good hint.

It'd be pretty interesting if Nagito was the one plotting murder, but wouldn't he have to be working with Togami if he was setting something up? Togami hasn't been big on talking when he doesn't have a big audience, so I don't think he would have just mentioned it in passing. Also, why would Nagito plot a murder in a place he's never been in? They weren't allowed in until just now. I think whatever's going to go down, it will have to be spontaneous. That would make it an easier intro case, too, since this is still a game after all.

Voted for Togami, because we need to hang out with him as long as we can before he eventually dies  (if someone told me I would write something like this back in DR1 I would call then crazy)! And voted for Nidai because Nidai is awesome and since we have already hang out with Gundam we should hang out with another crazy guy.I would have voted for Nagito but I bet he is not avaiable because he is working on that logde, probably the same thing with Teruteru who is working on the food for the party.

I have no idea if Nagito is planning something but I feel like Togami is doing this because he feels that if he doesn't do anything someone will try to kill. I guess having all the students in the same room knowing each other stops that from happening. But in regards to what you said I feel it really isn't smart for Togami to let another person prepare the place where they are going to party when he wants to stop any murder to happen.

DapperDinosaur posted:Nagito and Togami could also be working together. If they planned in advanced, that could explain why Nagito had the lots prepared. This would make total sense if they were actually working together for benign reasons. They'd have no reason to work together for murder, and I don't think Togami would set up the party in order to kill someone; it'd immediately draw suspicion toward him. I also doubt he'd let Nagito in on it ahead of time if he was acting suspicious, for that matter. It's possible that this will all come into play later, but it could just as easily be for the sake of pacing.

I'm not sure what he's plotting, but I'm convinced he's plotting something. It's possible he's colluding with Togami, and he knew about the heir's plans ahead of time. After all, one (or both) of them is likely to be the traitor that Monobear mentioned, so they might be plotting something to evade discovery. That, or Monobear has his own mole within the group, to get the murder train rolling like last time. It'd be an interesting twist if Monobear knew exactly who Togami was, and was blackmailing him into being a mole (like he did with Sakura in the first game). (For the record, I'll be voting for Chiaki and Sonia this time, even though we don't need to announce our votes due to the poll.)

I'm surprised that Nekomaru didn't motivate everyone to help clean the lodge. That "What's that? We have no volunteers?" sounded... menacing. It fascinates me how likable can character be depending on the context. Fukuyama Jun, who voices Hanamura, also voices Aoi Toori in Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, who is exactly the type Hanamura imagines himself to be. Except that, you know, he is also a leader worthy of everyone's respect and stuff. Still voting for my last two choices, since we didn't get either of them.

This isn't really a problem. If you vote for multiple people, you're basically spreading your influence thinner. If you vote for everyone, it's basically a null vote. Now, what'd be really neat is if we could get a Proportional Representation/Single Transferable Vote system going on one of these, where you can vote for as many or as few people as you like in your order of preference that takes everything into account and minimizes wasted votes. Seriously, do you know how hard it is to run anything other than very basic elections properly?

Given the circumstances, that would be an entirely reasonable, if risky, move.
