Guarding the circuit breaker is a smart idea. Lots of things can happen with the lights out. Especially with Hanamura around. Looks like it didn't work, though.

Mahiru's pictures might be useful evidence to give alibi's to various people. I'm pretty sure there will be a death at the party.

Hanamura's voice could be heard in the blackout, he was surprised that the blackout wasn't just the kitchen, so he's probably still alive.

And since Kuzuryuu is a SHSL Gangster, he'd definitely have the criminal background to have learned how to pick locks(allowing him access to the case with all the weapons inside).

Don't think that he'd be involved with the weapons case because he didn't go to the party. Togami didn't mention the case until that night so Kuzuryuu wouldn't have had a chance to learn about it and want it.

Peko's the only one to have supposedly seen Kuzuryuu and is now taking off with all the dangerous items to "guard" them. The game is just screaming that she's the killer and there isn't even a body on screen yet. The bathroom is "occupied", huh?

Also, is it implied that someone's locked in the bathroom? Wondering what that's about.

Peko could theoretically hide a skewer in her little sword carrier thing, hmm.

Is the implication that someone's been in the washroom since we got here?

OKAY: Head count- who's where at the moment that Coach needs to take a poo poo-

Hinata - in the hall
Nagito - ... apparently M.I.A. at this point :tinfoil: Last seen wishing Chiaki well.
Souda - in the hall (he's seen in the special art of everyone eating at least. Can't see him otherwise but I think he's just offscreen.)
Gundam - in the hall
Mikan - in the hall
Ibuki - in the hall
Nidai - in the hall
Kuzuryuu - M.I.A.
Mahiru - in the hall
Chiaki - on Monomi duty
Peko - on weapon-guard duty
Hanamura - missing, probably in the kitchen?
Sonia - in the hall
Akane - in the hall
Hiyoko - in the hall
Togami - in the hall

edit: Other than the obvious things, one thing I got from this is the students seem to think that Monomi and Monobear aren't secret collaborators. I'm not quite sure what Chiaki thinks she can do though?

Sonia and Gundam are still alive at least, phew. I'm not gonna speculate wildly on who is dead, if anyone since I just have a gut instinct at the moment. I'm hoping Toagmi at least is still alive after that tantalising hint to, seemingly, the events of DR1. Partly because I dislike when stuff like this immediately kills off someone from the previous title, it always seems like a cheap way of provoking the audience.

I really doubt anyone who was in the room during lights out (including Hanamura) is dead. We would have heard a scream of pain of someone getting skewered by a, well, skewer. Meaning whatever they're seeing is not a body. Probably just a joke like last time. Maybe Togami ate all the food when the lights went out. :v:

I wouldn't put too much thought into who appears in room shots. Since the rooms in this game pan left and right, there are almost always characters who are in the scene but off camera. I know for a fact there are characters who are in the room at the time of the screenshot at the end of the update who don't appear in it.

I'm kind of missing something. Where the hell did Chiaki even go? She said she was gonna find Monomi but I was under the impression they just kind of appear/disappear whenever they want. What is the purpose of physically leaving the room to go look for something that just poofs into existence? :psyduck: For this reason I think Chiaki is doing something shady. It just doesn't add up to me.

Also this is the second time Coach has talked about his poo poo and the crapper.

Well, I think the implication is supposed to be that she's going to try to get Monomi's attention, and to do that, she'll have to step outside, or at least wait by the door since the current set-up is designed to keep stuffed animals out. There was a bit of implication the last time Monomi showed up that she actually needs physical proximity to get her attention while Monobear just sees everything on the security system.

Last game, it was possible to call Monobear out, which did happen for various reasons. It's a bit different with Monomi if she can't see everything over the security systems but it does seem that she sticks nearby where-ever the largest group of students is.

SPLINTER CELLULITE
So immediately suspicious is Pekoyama, since she was guarding the circuit breaker, which the game made sure to mention. She had to have been compromised. (removed because I seem to have made up some dialogue in a fever dream :tinfoil:). Would the game throw something at us with multiple accomplices before the accomplice rule has been made? Or is this a training exercise of Togami's design to get them thinking critically and remaining on guard?

Finally, if Portal 2 has taught me anything about game design, it's that you make players follow sources of light to guide them through puzzles. I am immediately suspicious of that loving bone on the comically large piece of meat. Is it really gonna end up being a bludgeoning weapon?

I got myself a paper clip!
A summary of notable things so far:

-A skewer is missing and Hanamura claims it was already gone when he arrived. The only person to be in here earlier was Nagito.
-Gundam dropped an earring
-The wooden floors have large cracks
-Nagito discouraged people from being around the storage room
-The bathroom is locked, potentially with someone inside
-Togami said he can't let the second case leave his sight. The lights went out for a while, so it did.
-Chaiki, Peko, and Kuzuryu are MIA. All three of them left voluntarily.
-Peko was the last person to see Kuzuryu and be in the room with the breaker / weapons
-Cameras are obviously visible in the room, so it's not a leap to say Monobear / Monomi knows this is happening.

None, there's just the over-convenient correlation between him wanting a building with a single defendable entry point and getting one where the windows have steel plating installed over them. No explanation has been forthcoming as to why the windows are like that.

Either we're going to see a body, or Monobear just appeared in the middle of the party. Those are my guesses.

There was what I believe appears to be a camera right by Hanamura's head in the group shot, so it's not impossible.

Yeah, I worded it dumb (I never really thought he was missing especially since I think I hear his voice during the lights-out bit) but I was sort of thinking "he's either in the hall and just not in the screenshot or he's in the kitchen because the implication seems to be that he's going back and forth between the two rooms" and inexplicably settled on the idea he's in the kitchen. :shobon:

The main thing I was thinking of was trying to determine who could be in the washroom (if somebody is, indeed, in the washroom, and it's not locked for other reasons) and it's looking like it'd have to be Nagito unless Kuzuryuu showed up in secret or Chiaki or Peko left their respective posts.

Speaking of the voices during the lights-out bit, the last voice that says they're going to go check on the breaker is Togami, right?

Hanamura is in the kitchen actually, his last line before the power goes out is that he's still bringing food in and this is after the shot of everyone eating. Then after the power goes out someone yells about being in the kitchen.

The last of what we've heard from Togami in that blackout sequence is "Oy! What are you doing?! Stop it!" followed by someone grunting, translated as "Ow!" in text (a male voice, could be Togami).

Edit: Ok the grunt doesn't quite sound like Togami, more Nagito/Soudai, but still very vague.

From listening to the voice clip of what was happening during the blackout, there seem to be at least two other people out of the room besides Kuzuryuu, Peko, and Chiaki.

- One voice expressed surprise that the blackout wasn't just in the kitchen, presumably this is Hanamura, since he mentioned earlier that he was going back to get more food.

- Another voice at the end of the sequence mentioned that they were leaving to fix the circuit breakers. I'm guessing this is Souda, since it would explain why he isn't in the room when the lights come back, and his expertise as a SHSL Mechanic might include training as an electrician.

That would leave Togami, Nagito, and Mikan unaccounted for, though some of them might still be in the room offscreen. Plus there's still the question of who was in the restroom when Nidai checked it. Somehow, I get the feeling that next update Nidai will lose patience, bust down the restroom door, and find someone's body there...

Sure as hell sounded like Togami to me. This is another reason why we might be better off waiting until after. There seems to be an issue with telling the voices apart right now.

We're really pushing hard for evidence to find out what happened when the only reason we don't know is because of the LP format. Wouldn't it be better to just hold off and wait for the next update? It's only until tomorrow.

Huh, yeah, I'm having a hard time judging based on the voice clip, but it makes sense for it to be Souda leaving to fix the breaker at the end since he's the "fixes things" guy (I thought it was Togami).

Also, I just noticed that Gundam does have his earring right up to the point everyone starts eating. They seem to have actually changed his sprite to reflect this. If that's important, we know roughly when he lost it.

Hi, I hope I'm not replying too late, but I got my copy from CDJapan http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-901155 . It sells all sorts of Japanese products, and you'd have to make an account in order to buy one. The cheapest shipping option is SAL, which comes to about 1000 yen (so 2600+1000= 3600 yen) but if you sign up for an account, you immediately get "points" that can be used for a discount for whatever you're buying. Alternatively, if there's a Kinokuniya in your country, it wouldn't hurt to check it out :)
