Black Stories II ~ Case 33: Cursed Vacation

[axman36]

Did Kagosa want to scare the first person she sees, who happened to be Marisa?

[Thaws]

Was Marisa trying to steal Sanae's precious thing?

YES

Was Kogasa only stopping by to try and surprise people?

YES

Is what Marisa tried to steal relevant?

NO

Kogasa was looking for people to surprise during the nighttime. She entered the Moriya Shrine, looking for sleeping people. She ran into Marisa, whose intention is theft. Somehow, Kogasa managed to chase her off. Kanako later thanked Kogasa for getting rid of the intruder.

YES except for the underlined statement which is NO, I'm almost tempted to declare this as solved already, but there is something obvious missing.

Did Kogasa want to scare the first person she sees, who happened to be Marisa?

Pretty much YES.

[E-Nazrin]

Did Kogasa wake up the rest of the house with her surprise attempt, leading to Marisa's theft failing?

[axman36]

Kagosa came into the Moriya shrine so she could surprise the first person she saw. She saw Marisa who was stealing from this shrine. Kagosa surprised Marisa, scaring her off. The event woke up Kanako who saw Marisa being chased off, so she thus thanked Kagosa for scaring off the thief.

EDIT: Oh typos how I spite thee.

[Thaws]

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

Kagosa came into the Moriya shrine so she could surprise the first person she saw. She saw Marisa who was stealing from this shrine. Kagosa surprised Marisa, scaring her off. The event woke up Kanako who saw Marisa being chased off, so she thus welcomed Kagosa for scaring off the thief.

NO, her name is not Kagosa! YES

Kogasa was flying through the fly aimlessly when she noticed Marisa nervously doing something in that shrine at the top of the mountain. Marisa was actually stealing precious things stuff since she realised the goddesses and Sanae was out at the moment.
  Wanting to surprise Marisa, Kogasa flew near the window of the shrine to watch Marisa. When she saw that Marisa was concentrated on rummaging through the drawers for treasure, she took the chance to jump through the window and shout "Urameshiya" at the top of her lungs! Surprisingly, Marisa was actually surprised by Kogasa, probably because she was worrying that the goddesses would return at any moment. The shocked Marisa Master Sparked the poor karakasa almost by reflex.
  She quickly realised who it really was, but the spark has broken a huge hole through the shrine and quite possibly attracted the attention of Kanako, who was probably having a party with the Tengu or something, considering how bright the spark was.
  She flew back to the shrine and caught Marisa recovering from firing a Master Spark

Spoiler:

then put her through the wringer

(Spoiler of SA Extra Marisa/Alice dialogue, don't know if anyone cares that they're spoilered of Extra stage dialogues though...), seeing a badly burnt karakasa in the debris of the shrine wall, she thought the girl tried to stop Marisa and got assaulted. Naturally, she thanked her.[/color]

Yes, I chose Kanako simply to put that SA Extra dialogue reference there.
I feel bad for leading Kogasa to a BAD END,
though she seems to always get into BAD ENDs with her surprising people habit...
I expected this one to be quickly solved,
and it was. Good job everyone.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

And another one done.
Nice work on a nice riddle.
Now, let us get to the darker side of Gensokyo with the next riddle, created by my humble self.
I expect this one to be solved pretty fast as well.



Twentyfourth Case: Suwako
As the seasons changed, Suwako went missing.
Lily White later found her body floating in a lake.

[axman36]

Is Suwako dead in this scenario?

Was Suwako's apparent death before spring?

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Was someone responsible for Suwako's condition?

If so: Was the responsible party Cirno?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Yep, this really will be a fast one. I will press you for every last detail in my solution however 

Is Suwako dead in this scenario?

YES

Was Suwako's apparent death before spring?

YES

Was someone responsible for Suwako's condition?

YES

If so: Was the responsible party Cirno?

YES

[Pesco]

Suwako croaked and went belly up? :V

[E-Nazrin]

Did Suwako vanish at the start of winter? The start of spring?

Was she frozen to death?

Stabbed (with an icicle)?

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

So we've figured out who is involved. Now all that remains is how and why this happened...

Did Cirno think Suwako was a frog?
Did Cirno freeze Suwako?
Did Suwako insult Cirno?

[axman36]

Was anyone outside of Suwako, Cirno, and Lily White involved?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Suwako croaked and went belly up? :V

I guess you could say that. It's not really nice to the deceased though  :V

Did Suwako vanish at the start of winter?

YES

The start of spring?

NO

Was she frozen to death?
Stabbed (with an icicle)?

IRRELEVANT. Assume whatever method sounds the most humorous to you.

Did Cirno think Suwako was a frog?

NO. She was pretty well aware of who Suwako was.

Did Suwako insult Cirno?

She may have, but it's IRRELEVANT.

Was anyone outside of Suwako, Cirno, and Lily White involved?

That person did not take any actions relevant for the riddle, but indirectly YES.

[Pesco]

Kanako hired Cirno to make Suwako sleep with the sakanafishes? :V

[E-Nazrin]

Was Letty involved?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Kanako hired Cirno to make Suwako sleep with the sakanafishes? :V

I wouldn't mind to sleep with Suw-*shot* NO. Though the mental image of Kanako giving Cirno an assassination order in some dark back-alley, wearing sunglasses and all to be conspicious, is hilarious.

Was Letty involved?

Indirectly, YES

[axman36]

Hmm, feels like we're lacking some specific data.

Did Cirno have some type of motive to want to kill Suwako?

Did Cirno intentionally kill Suwako?

[Pesco]

Was Cirno just following instructions?

[Prody]

Is Lily White's identity relevant to the case?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Did Cirno have some type of motive to want to kill Suwako?

YES

Did Cirno intentionally kill Suwako?

YES

Was Cirno just following instructions?

NO, she was acting on her own

Is Lily White's identity relevant to the case?

YES. No words in the original riddle were chosen without care, that much I can assure you of.

[E-Nazrin]

Did Cirno think that killing Suwako would help winter last longer?

Or that it would upset Lily, as the bringer of spring?

[Pesco]

Have the details of this case come up in any of the fanfics in PSL?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Did Cirno think that killing Suwako would help winter last longer?

NO

Or that it would upset Lily, as the bringer of spring?

NO

Have the details of this case come up in any of the fanfics in PSL?

NO, at least not the ones I have read. It would be a funny conicidence though.

[E-Nazrin]

Is there any relationship, outside of this discovery, between Suwako and Lily White? Suwako and Letty?

Where is Sarah Conner?

[Thaws]

Did Suwako went hibernation?

Was Suwako discovered at the start of spring?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Is there any relationship, outside of this discovery, between Suwako and Lily White? Suwako and Letty?

NO to both

Where is Sarah Conner?

Probably got killed by Mystia and the Prismrivers. I heard they're serving her nicely cooked at the shrine festival tonight. Wanna go together?

Did Suwako went hibernation?

NO

Was Suwako discovered at the start of spring?

YES

[MysTeariousYukari]

Did Suwako do anything prior to her "death" to make Cirno want her dead? Or did Cirno go overboard on something?

Was Suwako in poor/less then prefered physical condition when Cirno killed her? Hungry, thirsty, tired, or is this all Irrelevant?

Did Suwako notice that Cirno was coming to kill her before it was to late? Or was she unaware of Cirno until she already attacked.

[Thaws]

Was Suwako killed at the beginning of the winter?

Was Suwako's disappearance related to Cirno?

Was Suwako's body buried under snow?
If yes, did Lily White discover Suwako's corpse when the snow thawed?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Did Suwako do anything prior to her "death" to make Cirno want her dead?

I would say YES

Or did Cirno go overboard on something?

From Suwako's perspective, YES

Was Suwako in poor/less then prefered physical condition when Cirno killed her? Hungry, thirsty, tired, or is this all Irrelevant?

IRRELEVANT. Cirno managed it, that's all that counts.

Did Suwako notice that Cirno was coming to kill her before it was to late? Or was she unaware of Cirno until she already attacked.

See above. IRRELEVANT, in the end she was dead.

Was Suwako killed at the beginning of the winter?

YES

Was Suwako's disappearance related to Cirno?

YES

Was Suwako's body buried under snow?
If yes, did Lily White discover Suwako's corpse when the snow thawed?

NO. Look at the riddle again, exchange one word in both questions and ask again
