More ugly news reports + one patronizing [video] message courtesy of Seth Richardson
A casual Monday outing turned tragic when two men were brutally gunned down in front of Malo's Gun and Ammunition mart. The victims; Kaplan Stridehr and Marple Dethrris were found dead with a single Aperture-Brand Resolution Pellet to the head. A third victim, Hendorff Ditherrs, was found at the scene asphyxiated to death. All three of the victims regularly donated community service hours to the FLUDD orphanage and were cherished by their grieving families.
The murder suspects, Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Vivan Johnson, and Rick Johnson, all attend Smash Academy and have been interrogated at least once by the FDCPD. Rick has been hospitalized for the time being with life-threatening injuries, though his condition is stable. He will be questioned when he regains consciousness. It's unclear if his injuries were inflicted in self-defense, or by the other two Smash Academy students in the middle of the attack.
The Smash Academy students claim they were the ones who acted in self defense, but FDCPD has not reached a clear verdict yet to a very messy and terrible situation.
"It's not completely clear this was in self defense." says the police chief. "If you're not looking to kill, you don't put a bullet in someone's head."
Several eye witnesses to the attack also claim the smaller student, Vivian, was the one who open fired and murdered the victims, unprovoked. All three are on juvenile preemptive probation until further investigations are finished. It should be worth noting, again, these were non-human students of Smash Academy, a fighting school that accepts many different kinds of unnatural, humanoid creatures. They could still be considered dangerous despite the probation. Aperture Science is also being questioned for product deficiency, but has not returned any of our calls.
[Lakitu, an unnatural, humanoid turtle man, shuffles the papers on his desk and prepares for the next, possibly vaguely related news story.]
An abandoned church on the east side of the city was mysteriously engulfed in flames last night. Fire accelerants were noted in the area, suggesting that this was no accident. It's uncertain if this incident is related to the gun attack, but non-human terrorists are suspected given the target. If you have any important clues or tips to report, please call the FDCPD immediately.
It's truly terrible this historic building has been reduced to tinder and ashes. Residents are outraged and are calling for Martial law. Mayor Tabuu is taking this into consideration with rising rates of violence and crime, but states he is not likely to come to a decision or see any action result for a least a month, especially given the complicated nature of FDC. Martial law would necessitate the need for an outsourced, contracted military, and the Mayor wants to ensure he has the best for the job.

In case you weren't aware about a certain fiasco that happened between Mary and Vianca a while ago, a new development has recently come to my attention, and I for one am ashamed. Shame on you!
Honestly, she's just a child and didn't know any better. That's no reason for anyone to go antagonize and bully her! I want to think better of our student body.
You're all so quick to turn a blind eye when that murderous swordsman returned to campus. You hardly bat an eyelash at knowing there's at least three new and different murder suspects residing right here! Have any of you even seen the news lately? They're right here, living amongst you all--murderers as your very neighbors. But the moment a naive little girl does something she didn't even know was wrong you ostracize her unfairly. I don't want to name names but you know who you are.
Everyone's double standards here are truly unsettling. You should all think on your sins.
[Ahem. He clears his throat and adjusts his collar, as if to clear out all that ~undignified emotional outpouring~]
Anyway, I apologize if any of that came across as harsh or blunt, and Mary's poor name shouldn't be dragged through the mud any longer. Mary has all my condolences, I wish her the best and above all that this doesn't happen again. That was a while ago anyway--old news. She should know better by now.
I'll see to it personally.

PICK UP THE PHONE]
no subject
And it probably is because he's the only one who ever calls...]
Hello...?
no subject
Ishimaru, it's Celes. I saw the news.
Please tell me this isn't as bad as I think it is.
no subject
Not that he necessarily feels better about it because he doesn't really want to talk to anyone about it. Even Mondo probably had to deal with a lot of avoidance.]
...How bad do you think it is?
[He can't tell her it's not if he doesn't know...]
no subject
...even she doesn't know, and that only serves to upset her more.]
Not exactly terrible, but it's pretty close.
[At least, for him. It wasn't looking good for that Vivian girl, though.]
no subject
...Well, it will surely take some more investigating into the matter, but everything is going to be sorted out soon enough! I just hope that whatever happens, everyone is still able to focus on their studies. Graduation is just around the corner, after all...!
[Smooth.]
The both of us should be focusing on that right now too... so...
no subject
[Another pause. This really shouldn't be so hard...]
...can you at least tell me what happened?
no subject
no subject
no subject
yeah you'd be an expert on that wouldn't you]It is accurate in that people were killed.
...But it will be dealt with.
no subject
I'll kill you again, don't think I won't.]I'm sure it will.
[Her tone is hesitant; she's not sure what else to say at this point.]
...if you need anything, you know where to find me.
no subject
[Wait, what? Who does he even think he's talking to?]
--Ludenberg. However, there is no need to trouble yourself! It is as I said. Things will be fine.
no subject
WHAT
W H A T]
What were you just about to say?
no subject
no subject
...Ishimaru, have you been having any strange dreams involving anyone from Hope's Peak? Or...have you started to remember things that never happened?
This is important, so don't you dare lie to me.
[Not that he probably could, since it's Ishimaru, but...]
no subject
But he is startled enough by her question to push that to the back of his mind for now.]
...I have.
[He dreams of Hope's Peak often. It's usually a nightmare, but every so often, he and his classmates are smiling and laughing together. They're free.
He thought them to be nothing more than hopeful dreams once, but he knows better now.]
Ludenberg. Has Naegi told you anything of what he learned before coming here?
no subject
[Then...does that mean?]
No...he hasn't. Why? What did he say?!
[Her worst fears are coming to fruition and it's evident by the panic in her voice. She can hope all she wants that her theory is wrong, but it won't do her any good now. If these memories are really real, and Ishimaru confirms it...all the students of Hope's Peak knew each other before the school of mutual killing. Which means...she could have been friends with some of them. It doesn't seem possible, but none of this does!]
no subject
It's no good. Is this even his story to tell?]
He said that we were classmates, even before... we met each other. Even more troubling is that something happened to cause us to be the ones to lock ourselves inside the school before we forgot everything.
[Most troubling of all was finding out he got whacked but ha ha why burden Celes with his feelings on THAT... Given the list of survivors he was given, it sounds like something equally awful happened to her.]
I don't know much more than that. Just that... there are a few years missing from our lives.
I uploaded this icon just for the occasion. (1/2)
...
Wait. Wait one minute... If...if she agreed to that...then that meant she gave up on her dream. Sure, she wanted a big castle with servants at her beck and call, but she never wanted to kill anyone over it! But as time passed, she knew that none of them would actually work together and get out. She didn't want to die there with a bunch of strangers and be forgotten, being forced to live in that hell for the rest of her days! She wanted to get out, dream or otherwise! Even death was a better option!
...but if she gave up on her dream...then...
No. No, she can't even process any more of this. Her mind keeps trying to understand everything but it's too much for her to handle. If she doesn't hang up now she'll break down right here on the phone. That won't do anyone any good...
Plus even with all of this going on she still has her pride.]
(2/2)
Ishimaru...I...I need to hang up. I'm sorry.
[And right before she ended the call, she let out one final whisper of "I'm so sorry".]
no subject
It's unusual, but at the same time, it prompts another slip-up:]
Yasuhiro-!
[It's too late, she hung up. Maybe he should call back--
WAIT, NOPE, PHONE'S RINGING AGAIN.]
