Black Stories II ~ Case 33: Cursed Vacation

[Dead Princess Sakana]

was the cellphone's owner the person who she thought was dead?

Most likely YES.
I guess I should also mention that, while there is not a completely false assumption, you're taking something for granted that is not the whole truth in those last few questions from you and Mouse.

[Hououin Kyouma]

hmmmm... Is the ringtone a special ringtone?
was it a cellphone?
or is it a normal home phone?
is the location where the sound is coming from important?
if yes is it the thought to be dead person's house?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

hmmmm... Is the ringtone a special ringtone?

UNKNOWN. Make it the Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare, because I like that sound  :V

was it a cellphone?
or is it a normal home phone?

IRRELEVANT. It was a phone

is the location where the sound is coming from important?

Not the specific location, NO. The overall location is the same as the woman's, which I already said IS relevant.

if yes is it the thought to be dead person's house?

See above. IRRELEVANT

[Hououin Kyouma]

was the thought to be dead person a FF fan?

Was the thought to be dead person living with her?

was she dependent on the thought to be dead person?

is the type of the building relevant?( like its a office building or a apartment)

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Was the thought to be dead person living with her?

Possibly YES. You will have noticed that I always give those weird answers here. Try to figure out why.

was she dependent on the thought to be dead person?

NO

is the type of the building relevant?( like its a office building or a apartment)

IRRELEVANT. The location is relevant on a greater scale. THe buildig itself ismost likely an apartment building.

[Hououin Kyouma]

you are saying possibly or likely alot...... what could that mean?

and the repetition of 'location'

[Dead Princess Sakana]

you are saying possibly or likely alot...... what could that mean?

I'm only giving answers to the best of my knowledge. What that means, that's for you to find out~

and the repetition of 'location'

As I said, the general location of this riddle is relevant. If you like that better, I could also say 'the surrounding situation', as it comes down to the same thing. It is also deeply tied to the other problem with what the woman was thinking. Solve one of those two, and you'll get the other as well.

[E-Nazrin]

Are (perceived) ghosts involved in this?

Is the owner of the phone relevant?

Was the phone making noise due to something resulting from making a conventional phone call (ringing, sound through the phone line)? From it hitting/landing on something physically? A different physical reaction (I don't know, electrical discharge or explosion)? A non-dialing function of the phone ('battery recharged' noise or other automated alert from a modern cellphone)?

[Thaws]

Was anyone supposed to know the number of the phone except the person-thought-dead (and possibly the woman herself)?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Are (perceived) ghosts involved in this?

NO

Is the owner of the phone relevant?

NO

Was the phone making noise due to something resulting from making a conventional phone call (ringing, sound through the phone line)?

YES. Ringing from a call

From it hitting/landing on something physically? A different physical reaction (I don't know, electrical discharge or explosion)? A non-dialing function of the phone ('battery recharged' noise or other automated alert from a modern cellphone)?

All NO

Was anyone supposed to know the number of the phone except the person-thought-dead (and possibly the woman herself)?

IRRELEVANT. Assume YES, the number was probably known to lots of people, as is usual.

[Hououin Kyouma]

was the building near water?

is the area an urban area?

rural?

is it near a forest?

does the country matter?

was it near or in a dessert?

was there anyone near her when she commited suicide?

was she lonely because she thought the thought-to-be person was dead?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

IRRELEVANT

is the area an urban area?

YES

rural?

NO

IRRELEVANT

NO

was she lonely because she thought the thought-to-be person was dead?

YES. The incomplete assumption that I referred to before is in this question again.

[Fightest]

Aha, pretty sure I know this one. PM incoming.

[Thaws]

Did she think someone died because she did not receive the phone call?

Was the phonecall from the person she thought was dead anyways?

The woman was waiting for a phone call from the hospital. She was supposed to receive a phone call from them if the surgery on the person she loved was successful. However, it was way past the time the surgery was scheduled to end yet she did not receive a phone call. She suicided as she wanted to die with her lover, but then as she was falling to the ground, her phone rang... most likely a call from hospital about the successful surgery. She regreted deeply that she did not wait longer.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Did she think someone died because she did not receive the phone call?

NO

Was the phonecall from the person she thought was dead anyways?

In the widest sense YES

The woman was waiting for a phone call from the hospital. She was supposed to receive a phone call from them if the surgery on the person she loved was successful. However, it was way past the time the surgery was scheduled to end yet she did not receive a phone call. She suicided as she wanted to die with her lover, but then as she was falling to the ground, her phone rang... most likely a call from hospital about the successful surgery. She regreted deeply that she did not wait longer.

NO. Not at all.

[Hououin Kyouma]

is the location a construction site?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

is the location a construction site?

NO


I think a hint is in order now. I shall reveal the point about the 'thought-to-be-dead', that has not been discovered yet:
It is not only one person that the woman thinks is dead, there are multiple persons.

[Hououin Kyouma]

NO

did she thought everyone in the world disappeared?

was she actually alone?

did people go somewhere without telling her?

was it a prank?

was it a special day?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

AH, now you got on the right track. Good~

did she thought everyone in the world disappeared?

YES

was she actually alone?

As she perceived it, YES. Otherwise, NO

did people go somewhere without telling her?

NO

was it a prank?
was it a special day?

Both NO

[Thaws]

Is there still more to discover?

Is it 2012? :V

[Hououin Kyouma]

did she look around everywhere and called everyone before committing suicide? (don't really think its relevant but if she didn't, she is stupid :V)

was everyone in the building supposed to evacuate?

was it a special event?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Is there still more to discover?

Does the story make sense yet? I think not, so YES~

Is it 2012? :V

You're almost having the right idea there. But NO.

did she look around everywhere and called everyone before committing suicide? (don't really think its relevant but if she didn't, she is stupid :V)

YES

was everyone in the building supposed to evacuate?

UNKNOWN. There is no information why she was in the building.

was it a special event?

Hm, you might say that, YES. More specifically, it was after the event.

[Hououin Kyouma]

were the people hiding?

from something dangerous?

or thought to be dangerous but actually wasn't?

underground?

is this the future? (I keep I asking this question all the time :V)

[Dead Princess Sakana]

underground?

is this the future? (I keep I asking this question all the time :V)

Whether each of those individually is a YES or NO is hard to say.
I will give the future a YES, however.
If I take all of those together, I think I can see what you're aiming for. And it seems to be the right answer, so ask for it.

[Hououin Kyouma]

The woman was doing her stuff like any day. However, she didn't watch the news in which there was a notice that there was going to be some kind of catatrophe (a fallout, war, 2012, zombie and etc). Then, she realized that people were missing so she checked everywhere but couldn't find people because they were hiding/evacuating from the catastrophe. Then, she committed suicide but somehow someone called a phone in the building while she was jumping off. This made her realise that she isn't the only survivor.

All the important details are there, so YES

The woman believed she was the only survivor of a nuclear war.
After over a year of searching around for other survivors she decided to end her life.
The moment she jumped from the building, she heard a phone ringing
- somewhere, there was at least one other human left...
