Huh. So what now?

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #902 on:** August 01, 2011, 03:03:06 PM »

I think we're done here. Unless anyone else has anything to ask Satori, of course.

Nah, I'm good.

>"Perhaps you should investigate the people there whom you haven't absolutely ruled out?" says Satori. "Even if you don't find anything, at least then you'll be able to confirm that no one there is the culprit, and it would narrow things for further searches."

>"Well, let's take a step back," says Satori. "Who do you absolutely know did not do it? That is, you are one hundred percent sure? Once you've ruled them out, consider everyone else. Even the ones you're almost but not quite sure about. Though I'd save them for last, personally. I'd let Tewi's words be a guide, though, as to where to start first."

>She chuckles. "Perhaps so. But I am not in the right place, as far as you know. Hopefully, this means I am fairly low on your list of suspects. But, if I am understanding you correctly, you at least have a location in mind. Start with that, and consider who is most and least likely of the people you know are there? Then investigate them. I'm sure you're good enough to do it and not get caught."

If it's Marisa, Alice, or the outsider girls, they have a lot of chutzpah, considering how a bunch of us were working together last night to solve the mystery, all of them included. There was that green-haired youkai, but I wonder if she'd really hang around an angry Mystia if she were guilty."

>You know there are faeries there, and Rinnosuke. You may consider the Scarlet Devil Mansion to be part of the Forest, as well. And recently, you've learned of Rika, Rikako, and Kana. It wouldn't surprise you if Rumia stayed there too, sometimes.
