Monokumas account: A boy cannot enter a girls locker room and vice versa.
Mysterious cards: Two cards were found in Chucks room. Note #1: "One of us is the maybe the Mastermind behind this killing game. Don't trust anyone" Note #2: "Leave your room. someone is trying to kill you."
Class Trial Begins.
We all sat in our seats. Monokuma was in a throne-like chair watching us.
Monokuma: Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial. So, your votes will determine the results. If you figure out whodunit, then only they will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong one... I'll punish everyone besides the blackened and the one who deceived everyone else will graduate.
Aqua: And you're sure the culprit's one of us?
Monokuma: Of course. I would never lie to you guys. Because I'm a bear after all!
Lisa: What the hell does that have to do with anything?!
Celestial: You're telling us to debate... but where do we start?
Collin: Why don't we start with something even you idiots can understand. The murder weapon.
The murder weapon? He must be talking about:
a. The needle
b. The bloody knife
c. The Illuminati
Aqua: You're talking about the bloody knife, right?
Collin: Correct. I have no doubt in my mind that knife was the murder weapon.
Non-stop Debate:
Collin: I can definitely claim that the murder weapon was that bloody knife.
Joseph: You mean the one in Chuck's hand?
Elijah: Okay that's great and all but... What can we get out of some random knife?
Counter: Missing Kitchen Knife
Aqua: No, that's wrong!
Refuted
Aqua: Elijah, hold on. That wasn't just any ordinary knife. That has to be the missing kitchen knife without a doubt.
Elijah: A kitchen knife? Now that you mention it, it did sorta look like a kitchen knife when I took a look at it.
Kaedi: That still gets us nowhere. Can't we go off of anything else? Like, did anyone see someone leave the kitchen with the kitchen with the knife?
Dole: The knife was in his hand, wasn't it? Then couldn't he have just killed himself?
That's what I thought too but someone said otherwise:
a.Brog
b. Ruby
c. Batman
Aqua: Brog, your the one who said it couldn't be a suicide right?
My comment woke him up.
Brog: Huh? What were we talking about?
Lisa: You got some balls to be sleepin' when our lives are at stake! We were talking about why Chuckys death couldn't be a suicide!
Brog: Oh yeah... That. I mostly said that because of where the knife was. It was in his left hand when I assumed he was right-handed. It wasn't even positioned right. *yawn* Whoever placed it there must have been in a rush or something.
Anna: So the culprit stabbed Chuck and placed the knife in his hand to make it look like a suicide. Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
Joseph: In that case, can I ask a question that may be off topic? Why was Chuck acting so paranoid? At first, he was just keeping us together. Then he limited our actions during nighttime out of nowhere. And the day after, he distanced himself from us completely.
That's a good question. The answer must be because of those: Mysterious letters
Aqua: It has to be thanks to these.
I dug in my pocket and took out the two letters.
Strawberry: What are these?
Pix: Letters?
Celestial: Yes. Aqua, Amna, and I found it in Chuck's room.
Anna: This could also be how the culprit got Chuck into the nurse's office.
Collin: That does raise some questions. First off, why would the culprit tell Chuck not to trust anyone, then tell him to leave his room at night because someone tried to kill him? That would have been awfully suspicious.
Aqua: I see. I didn't even think of that.
Collin: And that's not all. If Chuck really did get stabbed with that knife, then the killer would have to kill him as soon as he opens the door. That would lead his body outside the nurse's office.
Nebula: Wait, why the hell should they kill him when he opens the door?
Collin: If you entered the room and saw someone holding a knife, would you just step inside knowing they might kill you?
Anna: How about we focus more on how he got killed and less about how he got to the nurse's office for now.
Anna's right. How he was killed should be our top priority right now.
Nonstop debate:
Collin: How did the culprit kill Chuck from inside the nurse's office?
Celestial: Maybe they dragged the body inside?
Pix: There would have been drag marks leading inside.
Elijah: Maybe Chuck didn't see the culprit right away?
Joseph: I doubt he wouldn't notice someone in a room that small.
Nebula: Is the knife even the murder weapon?!
Honey Angel: Of course it is. There's no other weapon.
Counter: Sewing needle
Aqua: No that's wrong!
Refuted
Aqua: Actually, there's one more murder weapon. It's the sewing needle Lisa pulled out of Chuck's neck.
Ruby: Oh, you mean that shiny thingy that distracted Ruby from the body?
Honey Angel: G-giant needle?
Lisa: Yeah. Though the thing was so small I could barely see it.
Honey Angel: In that case, isn't it suspicious that Ruby's the first one to see the needle?
Pix: What are you trying to imply?
Honey Angel: Nothing against her, but nobody has any way of knowing what she was doing last night during the murder.
Strawberry: Actually, I do.
Honey Angel: Really?
Strawberry: Ruby told me she didn't feel like being alone. So I stayed in her room all night.
Dole: But what if she just did that to distract you while Pix did the murder?
Ruby: There is no way Ruby would do that. Nor Pix.
Collin: Speaking of which, I would like to ask the bear, what happens if the culprit has an accomplice?
Monokuma: You have asked therefore I shall answer! Each murder is allowed to have an accomplice. But only the one who does the killing will graduate.
Joseph: So if there was an accomplice, there will be no benefit from him unless he wanted to die or to risk the life of Ruby.
Pix: Which is not a risk I'm willing to take.
Strawberry: This also means, Ruby and I have airtight alibi's.
Kaedi: Still why didn't you just ask Pix to confront you?
He must not have been able to because of: Monokuma account.
Aqua: Ruby probably couldn't enter Pixs' room. I remember Monokuma telling me nobody is able to enter a room of their opposite gender.
Collin: So a girl couldn't enter the girl's dorms and a boy couldn't enter the girl's dorms. Well, not only does that give Ruby and Strawberry alibi's, but it might also give every female here an alibi.
Kaedi: Huh? Why's that?
Collin: Because there's only one way to get Chuck out of his room and into the nurse's office.
Honey Angel: Really? How?
Collin: It's quite simple really. A girl can't enter the boy's dorm, but another boy certainly can. All they had to do was sneak into Chucks room, hide until he read the letter, then make noises that will have him head all the way into the nurse's office.
Celestial: But wouldn't we have heard him make so much noise?
Non-stop Debate:
Collin: The only way to get Chuck to the nurse's office is through sound.
Kaedi: But wouldn't we have heard it?
Joseph: No. The rooms are soundproof. You could make all the noise in the world and nobody would have heard a thing.
Counter: Lisa's account.
Aqua: No that's wrong!
Refuted.
Aqua: Actually, one person could have heard them. And that's Lisa. Her cat ears can hear even through soundproof areas.
Lisa: You bet I can!
Strawberry: Then did you hear anything last night?
Lisa: Now that I think about it, I did hear a few things last night.
Collin: And why didn't you say anything about this sooner?
Lisa: Because I forgot geez! I have a habit of forgetting things at night so get off my back Colon!
Nebula: That doesn't matter right now. Just tell us what you heard.
Lisa: Well that's the thing... You said it had to be two guys making the noises right? Well, I actually heard a boy and a girl.
Anna: Just like I thought.
Pix: Just like you thought? Have you found out who the culprit is?
Anna: Well, not really. But there is someone who seems extremely suspicious.
Honey Angel: Really? Who?
A suspicious individual? Is Anna talking about...
Aqua: ...Celestial?
Celestial: Huh?
Nebula: Hey bitch! Why'd you say my sisters name all of a sudden?!
Aqua: Well it has something to do with something Monokuma told her, Anna, and me.
Flashback
Monokuma: Monokuma: Now, now. There's no need to take it that far. How about this. I'll do you girls a favor and once more unlock Chucks Dorm room. But don't expect me to do it again.
Flashback (end)
Aqua: When he told us he was going to let us in Chuck's dorm, he was acting like it wasn't the first time somebody asked him to do that.
Elijah: Wait, so anybody could have entered Chuck's dorm if they just asked?
Collin: Well Monokuma?
Monokuma: Well, I can most certainly say that someone did ask me to enter his room.
Strawberry: I see. And the only reason someone would ask to unlock a boys room is if they were a girl.
Nebula: And so what?! Anyone could have asked him!
Aqua: I know. But if we're deducing that the person who wrote the letters and went inside his room are the same person, then Celestrial is extremely suspicious.
Nebula: Oh, and how the hell is that?!
Nebula seems to be angrier than usual. I better answer him quickly.
a.Ruby's letter
b. The loud noises
c. Her actions
Aqua: Celestial is the only one who had the paper for Ruby's letter.
Pix: Just to ask, is there anyone else besides Celestial who found paper in their dorm rooms?
Ruby: Not Ruby.
Elijah: Yeah, I didn't find any either.
Joseph: Nor did I.
Collin: I see. If Celestial is the only one who had paper, then she's the only one capable of writing those letters.
Lisa: Hey, I just thought about something. Earlier today you said you checked on Chucky, then said that he wasn't feeling too well. But by then, his ass should have been dead. You lied and made us think Chucky was avoiding us!
Strawberry: Celestial, what's the meaning of this?
Celestial: .....
Nebula: Sis, what the hell is going on?!
Celestial: ......
Nebula: Say something goddamit!
Celestial: ... Teehee... It looks like the trial is about to get very interesting.
Aqua: What?
Celestial: It's quite a shame, really. For my plan to be spotted so easily.
At that moment, the look on Celestial's eyes changed completely. She looked like an entirely different person. It was as if despair has taken complete control of her body.
Anna: Um, Celestial, are you okay?
Lisa: Hey Plebula! What's going on with your fuckin' sister?!
Nebula: I-I don't know. I've never seen her like this before.
Celestial: Of course you haven't. Poor poor Nebula. Spent so much time trying to block me from others you couldn't see what type of person I've become on the other side of your wall. I'll admit it. I'm the one who sent those letters to Chuck. And most importantly, I'm the one who stabbed Chuck and made the death look like a suicide!
Joseph: You seem completely different from the Celestial we've come to know.
Strawberry: More importantly, Why did you kill Chuck?!
Celestial: Chuck lead everyone to make sure they stayed safe. For him to get killed... Oh, the despair it will bring! I must say though, I'm almost impressed. You guys were even able to find out how I got into Chuck's room. Still, I'm sure a plot twist ending like this should be... Less boring.
Lisa: The hell's wrong with this chick?! Let's just vote on her ads and get this over with already!
Nebula: I said hold on a second asshole!
Everybody turned their attention to Nebula.
Lisa: Who the hell you callin' an asshole?!
Celestial: Stubborn brother. You just can't let me walk to my death, can you?
Nebula: I know it looks bad for her now, but I refuse to believe my sister would kill Chuck!
Non-stop Debate:
Nebula: My sister definitely didn't kill Chuck!
Celestial: Can you even prove that?
Honey Angel: It's got to be her! There's no other way around it!
Counter: Monokuma Files
Aqua: No, that's wrong!
Refuted
Aqua: Wait, no. Something doesn't add up.
Honey Angel: Huh? What doesn't add up?
Aqua: It's how this plan was made. If she's saying she brought him into the nurse's office and killed him, then she would have had to be in the nurse's office before him.
Honey Angel: Well that's easy. She just followed him until he entered the nurse's office then stabbed him on the left side of the neck.
Nebula: Wait, did you say the left side? Then she couldn't have done it! Because Celestial is right handed!
Honey Angel: Um, couldn't she just stab her in the left with her right hand?
Pix: It would be possible if it was a knife. But that needle was so skinny that as a weapon, you would need to use it with your dominant hand to make a quick kill. It would be different if you were in front of him. But as we discussed, that will be impossible.
Joseph: So your suggesting she may not be the culprit?
Aqua: Well, without a doubt I can say that she's the one who set the murder scene. But...
Dole: But?
Aqua: I just feel like the evidence she left out was too... Out there. If she really was the culprit, she wouldn't have told us about her papers or about the letters in Chucks room. It would have been better for her to keep quiet.
Collin: Well Celestial? Any words?
Celestial: ... Aw man. I thought I could fool you a bit longer. Fine, I'm not the culprit.
Collin: Hmph. I thought not. Though this does leave us with a problem.
Lisa: Of course it does! Now we're back to square one!
Anna: No, with that information, we can easily find out who the culprit is. Right, Aqua?
Kaedi: What?
Honey Angel: You know who the culprit is?
Dule: Who is it?
Only one person could be the culprit. I don't want to condemn this person but...
Aqua: Honey Angel... Was it you?
Honey Angel: Huh? Where did this come from all of a sudden?
Aqua: I remember when we were writing our names, you were the only one who wrote with their left hand.
Honey Angel: What? That can't be the only reason your accusing me of being the killer.
Celestial: May I step in for a second? If Honey Angel really did kill Chuck like your assuming, she would've gotten lots of blood on her.
Brog: *Yawn* She probably washed it off in the shower or something.
No. That would be impossible because...
a. There was no blood
b. The shower water was off
c. She doesn't like water
Aqua: No, she couldn't because the waters shut off at nighttime.
Brog: Oh. I didn't know that. I actually haven't taken a bath here yet.
Lisa: How the hell have you survived this long?!
Strawberry: Still, we can't move on until we find out how she washed the blood off. So let's make that our first priority.
Non-stop Debate:
Strawberry: How did Honey Angel wash off that blood?
Ruby: Maybe she used the spa?
Strawberry: No, someone would have noticed then.
Lisa: Maybe she used somethin' in the kitchen.
Honey Angel: There was nothing to use inside the kitchen.
Counter: empty water bottles
Aqua: No, that's wrong!
Refuted
Aqua: Actually, Lisa's right. They could have used the water bottles in the fridge.
Celestial: Oh Aqua, don't you know? There is no water in that fridge.
Joseph: Actually, the day before we found the body, I found a bunch of waters in the fridge. But after Chuck's death, I noticed they were all gone. And there was a bunch of empty bottles in the trash.
Honey Angel: So what?! There's no way to prove I'm the one who used those bottles!
No. There's evidence for that too. And that's...
a. on Ruby's note
b. in the kitchen
c. On her hands
Aqua: We do have proof. In fact, Celestial is the one who gave me that proof. She's the one who told us that one side of the note was wet. More specifically, the left side.
Honey Angel: What does that have to do with anything?
Collin: If you were to stab someone and make that much of a mess, most of the blood will go on your hands. you would need to wash them off really well. Your arms probably didn't have time to fully air dry. So when you touched the letter using the arm you're used to, it got that part of the paper a bit wet.
Celestial: Good job, Ruby. If you hadn't had everyone sign that silly letter, Honey Angel wouldn't have been caught wet handed.
Ruby: Oh, um... thank you?
Lisa: Hey! Who's side are you on?!
Celestial: I'm just saying that it's ironic. The first person who signed that letter just so happened to be the first to sign her death warrant.
Honey Angel: What do you mean sign my death warrant? Choosing me as the killer just because I'm left-handed? Do you know how stupid you sound right now? Besides, Collin and Dole didn't even sign the damn thing!
Aqua: Actually, there's one more piece of evidence that solidifies you as the killer.
Honey Angel: What the hell is that supposed to mean? You think I'd let my fate be decided by a runt like you? You guy's don't know anything!
It seems she refuses to listen. Fine, then I'll present the evidence and give her no choice but to admit it!
Bullet Time Battle:
Honey Angel: Who do you think you are? Don't you know anything? I have no reason to kill Chuck! Even if the culprit did use a needle to kill him, there's no proof I'm the one who used that needle!
Final Strike: Celestial's account
Aqua: This should prove it!
Break!!
Aqua: Before the trial, Celestial checked everyone's room and found that somebody used their sewing kit. If I'm right about this, then your sewing needle should show some sign of being used!
Honey Angel: ... H-huh?
Strawberry: So, if you really aren't the culprit, then you wouldn't mind showing it to us right?
Pix: And if it was used, you're going to have to tell us when you used it and why. Also, "I lost it" isn't an excuse at this point.
Honey Angel: ... I-I won't accept this. You think I'll just accept what you guy's are telling me?
Aqua: Fine. Then I'll go over this incident so you'll have no choice but to accept it.
Closing argument:
Aqua: Here's what happened.
Aqua: This incident was mostly planned out by Celestial who slide a letter under Chuck's door. After Chuck read it, he decided to limit everybody from doing things at night and that's when Celestial somehow convinced the culprit to carry her plan out.
Then, on that night, Celestial asked Monokuma to let her in Chuck's room. After doing so, she placed another letter in his room and hid in the bathroom. There, she waited for him to read the note and had him running out of his room.
Using noise, Celestial was able to lead him into the nurse's office where he must have thought he must have thought it was safe. What he didn't know was that the culprit was right behind him.
Using her sewing needle, the culprit snuck behind Chuck and stabbed him in the neck. Leaving a bloody mess. After the job was done, Celestial took a knife and stabbed the already deceased Chuck in the gut. Then she put the knife in his hand to make us think it was a suicide.
Meanwhile, the culprit went into the kitchen. She took the water bottles from the fridge and used them to wash the blood off her. Then she went to bed as if nothing happened.
Aqua: This is the crime you transgressed. Isn't that right, Honey Angel?
Completed
Aqua: Well, did I leave anything out?
Honey Angel: I... I...
Collin: It looks like you have nothing more to say.
Celestial: To lose even with my help. What a boring outcome this was.
Honey Angel: ...
Monokuma: Puhuhuhuhu. Looks like you guys are finally finished. So are you ready to cast your votes? You all have a lever in front of you. Use it to cast your votes. Oh, and make triple sure you vote for someone. Wouldn't wanna be punished for something so small right?
Honey Angel: ...
We all pulled the levers in front of us and cast our votes.
Monokuma: Who will be chosen as the blackened? Will you make the right choice? Or the dreadfully wrong one? Puhuhuhu, What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?!
Guilty: Honey Angel
Class Trial: End
Monokuma: It looks like everyone got it right! The culprit of this case is the kind-hearted Honey Angel!
Honey Angel: ...
Anna: But, why? Why did you kill him?
Honey Angel: ...
Celestial: It looks like she's gone silent. Well, it makes sense. How can she tell everyone she murdered out of an attempt to get out of here?
Aqua: Huh?
Honey Angel: ... It's not like that. The day before I killed him, I found this note.
Honey Angel pulled out a piece of paper.
Note: I know who the mastermind is. Be careful.
Joseph: And this note made you want to kill someone?
Honey Angel: No... later that night I got another note.
She pulled out another piece of paper
Note: The mastermind plans to kill us all tomorrow. I think they're headed to the nurse's office.
Collin: And you were foolish enough to listen to it?
Honey Angel: I had no choice. I don't know who the mastermind is or what they were planning. Also... I thought that if I killed the mastermind... we could all get out of here alive.
Dole: But it turned out to be a lie set by Celestial.
Honey Angel: ... I figured out it was a lie after Celestial said she went talked to him after he was already left. I also realized she was the one who wrote the letters. So, after we all ate, I confronted her... She told me not to worry and she'll help me get out of here alive.
Lisa: Now that you mention it... Hey Celestial, what's the meaning of all this!?
Celestial: Oh? You're asking me why I did all this? It was nothing really. I simply got bored. That's all there is to it.
Anna: You... got bored?
Celestial: I mean, what's a killing game if there are no killings? Also, I wanted to see the despair of poor Honey Angels face when she realized she was killed all because she was tricked by one of her friends. And the despair on my big brother when he found out what I've done.
Lisa: Your fuckin' crazy!
Celestial: I'm crazy? Are you sure about that? All I did was lead Honey Angel on a path of murder. I didn't tell her too.
Honey Angel: ... I... I'm sorry. I wasn't even thinking. I guess... I wanted to get out here so badly that I... I did something terrible.
Monokuma: Hey, that's nice and all but we still need to get to the good stuff!
Aqua: Good stuff?!
Strawberry: You mean... execution?
Joseph: Sorry, but there's no way we'll let you do that.
Celestial: Going into battle without your powers? Is that really a good idea? She brought this upon herself you know.
Elijah: Doesn't matter. We'll kick his ass with our fist.
Honey Angel: No. She's right. I deserve this. After all... I'm the one, who really went crazy.
Tears started coming down Honey Angel's cheeks. I could see the fear inside her eyes. the fear of dying in a place like this.
Monokuma: Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Honey Angel!
Honey Angel: It looks like this is it... I hope to see you all again ... in another life.
Monokuma: Let's give it everything we've got!... IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!!!
Game Over: Honey Angel has been found guilty. Time for the Punishment!
Execution: Burning Angel
A cross was attached to a dart board. and attached to that cross was Honey Angel. Monokuma stood in front of her with a box full of knives that were covered in gasoline. He set the knives on fire and threw one at Honey Angel's hand. Then he threw another and it hit her eye. he kept throwing the flaming knives at her. One hit her chest, her elbows, and even the inside of her mouth. Until finally he got a flamethrower and burned her entire body. When he stopped, he laughed as he watched her burn to ashes.
Aqua: ...
Anna: ...
Collin: ...
Nobody said a word. There was just no way to explain what we just saw.
Monokuma: Woohoo! Now that was fun!
Strawberry: Fun? How could you say that after murdering her like that?
Monokuma: Please. I did nothing wrong. She violated a regulation and got punished for it. Children get punished for misbehaving all the time. Here it's the same way. Just with a dash of murder!
Ruby: ... Ruby doesn't feel too good.
Lisa: Hey, Celestibitch! You still got some explaining to do!
Celestial: What do you mean? I already told you my reason for doing what I did.
Celestial made a wide and evil grin.
Celestial: I don't care for escape or even survival! All I want to see is everyone's faces sink into despair!
Lisa: God dammit. Plebula! Get your goddamn sister!
Nebula: ...
He had no words to say. In fact, nobody did. We all stood there with that empty feeling in our souls. And there was only one way to describe this feeling... It was the feeling of despair.
