· Monobunny File #1: Pinkie died this morning.

· Swimming Area Windows: The windows were open during the morning but were closed by Dr. Scalpel during the search for Inky and Pinkie. After finding Pinkie’s body the windows were still closed. There are no handles on the exterior meaning the windows can only be opened from the inside.

· Ladder: An old wooden ladder can be found in the store room.

· Pinkie’s Towel: During the search for Pinkie and Inky, Shetland and Dr. Scalpel discovered a towel in the swimming pool store room. Judging by its appearance it could have only belonged to Pinkie Pie.

· Machine Gun Cameras: There are four machine guns on the third floor, each one attached to a security camera. These look over the entrances on both sides of each locker room and instantly activate the machine gun if the camera spots a male trying to enter the female locker room or vice versa. According to Monobunny the gunfire is impossible to dodge no matter how fast you are moving. The cameras cannot be moved. There are no signs that any shots have been fired.

· Male Lockers: Yesterday the doors on each of the male lockers were torn off by Shetland and Yoko. The only items in the lockers are towels belonging to myself and Yoko which we left after our swim before the 8 o’ clock meeting.

· Inky’s Account: Inky was at the MonoMart from just before 7 o’ clock until being found during the search, roughly around 8:30. Nobody else entered the store during that time.

· Pre-Meeting Swim: Yoko, Dopple and I were in the swimming area roughly between 7:30 and 8 o’ clock. We didn’t come across anything suspicious at that time.

· Greyscale’s Account: During the search for Pinkie and Inky, Copper and I kept watch from the landing of the stairs leading to the third floor, watching the opposite stairwell that led down to the first floor. We were joined shortly by Scalpel and Shetland before searching other areas.

· State of The Body: Pinkie suffered a broken neck. There are no signs of additional injuries or other possible causes of death.

· Pinkie’s Room: During the search Shetland broke into Pinkie’s room through the window and opened it from the inside, allowing Copper, Scalpel and myself to search it. Despite this we found no clues as to her whereabouts.

· Pinkie’s Keycard: During the investigation the cord around Pinkie’s neck snapped after Dopple pulled the keycard. The cut is decidedly neat, not the result of a vicious tear. Both ends appear to have a small amount of translucent substance on them.

· Inflatable Ring: Inside Pinkie’s locker we found the inflatable ring she’d taken from the MonoMart. It had been torn open leaving a sizeable hole.

Author's Note

The first trial will soon be upon us!

Don't worry if you haven't figured out the culprit's identity yet. Certain details will only be made clear as things progress. The trial itself will be split up into multiple parts, each one offering up a puzzle for you lovely readers to solve. These will all be similar to those found in the Danganronpa game series. If you're unfamiliar with how those work, not to worry! I'll be including a trial tutorial chapter with all the relevant information which can be referred back to if you're in any doubt.

I hope to see a good amount of reader participation in the trials, and I encourage you to post your answers to the problems presented at the end of each section. If at any point you think you've got it all figured out, go ahead and shoot me a message! I will neither confirm nor deny until the story itself reveals the truth, but I'll be sure to give you a mention once the trial is over if you guess correctly.

Happy sleuthing!
