[defendure]

Mm, it's "S.K."

[ Other than that... ]

There's some fake credits and a few pictures, but no one I recognize yet.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki starts reading out the names from his list. All the guests and when they arrived. Would the real S.K. please stand up?]

If the people in the pictures are similar, maybe this was some class reunion or school reunion.

[defendure]

Ah...! That could make sense. If so, maybe we should check the latest grad picture...?

[ Sounds like there's two S.K. names. Both sound vaguely not Japanese. ]

[blastedass]

[A foreigner! Whoa. Katsuki heads for the graduation pictures again, trying to get the best light to study them. Anyone there who doesn't look of Japanese descent? Or at least obviously foreign.

He's also looking for anyone who... you know... looks like Deku in their school pictures. Like there's some "you don't belong" aura around them.]

[defendure]

[ Well, they are in a place where a lot of the natives seem not to be Japanese. But besides the guy who's some kind of not human...

There's definitely someone being left out of the fun in most of the pics. A different person in each, but a similar set of circumstances. Weird! ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki's noticed that as well. It's strange that so many of them seem to have a similarity. Plus so many of them come from some alternate Earth. It's weird.

So they have vampire ghost boy. And then a singled out person, but not the same person each time. Hm... It's likely impossible to tell names in the pictures...]

You notice anything weird about these people?

[And points out the loners.]

[defendure]

[ Izuku glances at the pictures, stopping his search to gnaw at his lip.

They look... ]

Um, it looks like no one else really likes them.

[blastedass]

[Of course he picks out on that.]

Or they could be loners by choice.

[Like Katsuki... though that's doubtful. Either way...]

None of them are the ghost kid; that's the suck part.

[defendure]

No, look, none of them look happy. And they're all sort of - er, it's body language.

[ He doesn't want to say they're nerdy. ]

That "ghost kid" looks like the opposite. Kinda popular.

[blastedass]

[WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT, META?!]

This murder mystery better not have a fucking moral... Normally it's the nerdy kid that murders all their classmates at the reunion party.

[defendure]

Maybe they're the victims though?

[ If they're thinking the ghost kid does bad things. ]

[blastedass]

Like the ghost kid makes them unpopular or something?

[Might not be the craziest idea he's heard.]

Was there a fourth room we need to get to?

[defendure]

No, I was thinking more like he kills the unpopular ones?

[ A shrug. He's just suggesting theories... ]

Yeah! I mean, I opened it, we can go check it.

[blastedass]

Weird ghost.

[Picking off the unpopular ones when the unpopular ones are usually the ones making the ghosts. Popular people didn't have the same "revenge" motives as what you hear about in urban legends and folklore. Well, minus the stupid ones that summon a demon to get a good spot on the team or something...]

Lets go.

[Two rooms with book puzzles, one room with picture puzzles and a list of people on the phone. So the fourth room should have new data or something binding the previous clues.]

[defendure]

[ This one...looks more like a personal study. There's pictures on shelves, a computer, and a collection of odd items. ]

Hm...

[blastedass]

[Katsuki immediately goes to the collection of items and sics Izuku on the pictures.]

See if there's any correlation between those pictures and the graduation shots.

[Are there any matching books in this study and the ones in the first two rooms?]

[defendure]

[ No matching books. Instead of murder mysteries, these ones are all informational nonfiction books.

And some yearbooks? ]

[blastedass]

[YEARBOOKS! Katsuki calls Izuku over as soon as he sees them.]

Did you bring the graduation pictures from the other room? We can check in these.

[defendure]

I did! [ He'll hand them off as he goes back to looking at the objects. Looks like there's yearbooks for each picture! ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki quickly matches each yearbook with the correct picture, shoving half of them to Izuku.]

Look for the names of the ghost kid--if he's in there--and the loners.

[After a moment.]

And the tops of the class if they have a space separated for them.

[defendure]

[ Izuku takes a seat to do so, arraying the books in front of him...! ]

It looks like he is. Ah, they're usually top students, both of them.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki scans through the books to find the class and match them up with the ones in the picture. There we go, graduating class... are the books all in the same order? (e.g. 2012, 2013--201x?) or are all the graduating classes random years?

And the uniforms, do they make it from the same school?]

What, the loners are top students or the ghost kid?

[defendure]

Both. It varies from class to class, but they're always within the top slots.

[ Different schools, the graduating years are all a decade or so apart. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki frowns and starts trying to specifically find people listed as having arrived at the venue. He repeats the names to Izuku as well so they can both look for them.]

Have you found ghost kid when they were alive?

[defendure]

Um, I guess that could be the earliest yearbook?

[ The guy looks the same in all of them so far... ]

Do you have that one?
