Xhuli thinks, "Maybe they just chose Hawk because they somehow assumed he would have a bad alibi, or they knew he wouldn't be with the kids in the fancy rooms or at the bar. Although, I want to say Hawk has had a drink or two before, so maybe they just guessed."
"But I think Hawk is a good guess either way," she giggles.

"The fact that all of you assume I would be so bored as to assault Mr. Tsutomu here is... Actually a reasonable assumption. After all, as it stands, all the evidence currently points my way.
"Though I do indeed do my best to remember to lock my door, it would be child's play for anyone with a modicum of knowledge to open it. Or even for our vaunted Demon Lord host to open it himself." Hawk shrugged, palms up.
"I could protest my innocence, of course, but why do that? If it puts the rest of you at ease, I will gladly spend my time in the jail."

"Should a security guard really be offering to lock himself up to leave an attempted murderer loose...?"

Xhuli goes wide-eyed, "I don't think you should be the one spending time in jail, nobody thinks you did anything. It definitely wouldn't put my mind at ease to not have you around."
"From the looks of things, shouldn't we put Calvin in jail? That or Mr. Magno." She closes her notebook.

"I'd probably feel safer if we tossed Ige in the prison in all honesty." Hella speaks up.
"For his protection of course."

The girl with the moth climbing in her hair, looks at Hella with a smile, "You know what? That would help that guy..."
"Though at the same time, I wanna say that Ige is a valued member of the group and I would be sad if he were imprisoned," she gives Ige a wink and a nudge.
"We also have the option to lock up multiple people if needed!" She giggles.

"If we don't know who attempted this to begin with, we could just as easily put Ige in a position where he's with the very person who tried to kill him," Hawk pointed out. "This reeks of being part of a story, and if nobody steps up, I'm not sure we will find out who did it until later."

"I-I appreciate that, Xhuli, but maybe Hella is right!! Would I be safer locked up with like...no way for someone to get to me?"
Ige shuddered in place.

"Seems like the killer wouldn't have known that you were the one who would encounter the trap unless they're the one who lured you to the kitchen," Xhuli smiles. "That could've happened to anyone."
"In fact you have less to worry about because you're always slipping on banana peels. That means traps are a lot less likely to work," she looks to Ige for approval on her joke.

"I-I appreciate that, Xhuli, but maybe Hella is right!! Would I be safer locked up with like...no way for someone to get to me?" Ige shuddered in place. "If you went into the jail cell, someone could just fire spell you and you wouldn't be able to get away." Faye said. "Not sure if we could figure out the culprit either, if they just did that and walked away. Not very safe."

"Hawk's right. We don't have any evidence that could tell us who set up the trap, do we?" Calvin asked the others. "I couldn't help but wonder if we're being bamboozled..."

"H-Hey, I almost died! These jokes aren't helping all that much!" Ige snapped at Xhuli, with the odd affirmation that they were at least helping a little. "...But okay, I guess that's true that it could have been anyone in my position...but it's still alarming, isn't it?! Someone here is trying to kill again!"

"Well, in my opinion we should be doing more stuff," Xhuli says, cocking a hip, probably hoping to get extra attention. "I mean the outside world is great, but it also is kinda terrible for some people, like me. This world should be missed by whoever leaves."
"I know I'm one of the people who stopped us from doing classes, but..." She sighs to herself, suddenly losing steam.

"A-Are you sure that you didn't use that controller in your room, Hawk?!" Ige asked accusingly, waving his finger all manic-like. "What kind of games were you playing, huh?!"

"I was playing Monopoly," Hawk deadpanned. "In all seriousness, I don't know why it was in my room. For that matter, I am far too busy, especially with how this board is set up, to idle away all my time."

“Remember your limits, Hawk,” Xhuli says cheekily, parroting the same sort of thing the security guard has said to her.
“Everyone has time for a little Mario Party.”

"I truly must be getting old, when mine own advice is parroted at me," Hawk grumbled.

“I’m not being serious… completely… I mean I don’t know if you would play games but you also did sound as ragged as I do. It’s not like you don’t deserve rest. That’s all.”

"Hmph, I don't really see what you could be 'so busy' about," Ige huffed. "It's not like we're doing anything except waiting for another inevitable murder. I mean, it almost happened, already!"

"I am busy doing my job," Hawk asserted. "Patrolling the grounds, keeping tabs on everyone's whereabouts, their mental states, attempting to prevent another murder by making it likely I'll come across someone in the act."
Not that the last bit had happened at all yet.
"I am, after all, tasked with the protection of this group. I acknowledge that I have yet to actually prove I am worth the title, however."

"That makes it even more suspicious you didn't catch whoever set this trap up in the act!" Ige complained. "I mean, look at my cheek! One more inch to the side and that would have turned my mouth into an arrow holster!"

"A reasonable accusation, and one I am unfortunately not privy to counter at this time. I do agree, it is odd that it was in my room, and I do agree, with just a bit of aim correction, you would be dead. At the same time, let me ask you something."
Hawk leaned in, and his voice dropped to a deadly whisper.
"Do I strike you as the type to hide behind a trap if I wanted to kill someone?"

“Ige please don’t forget to clean and dress your wound,” Xhuli tries to GET Ige with disinfectant and make him put the bandage on.
“It’s true that the jail is a death trap though. We should only use it if there’s a real criminal. So I guess Mr. Magno and Calvin can run free,” she says after some thought.

"O-Okay! I got it!" Ige affirmed, letting Xhuli clean and treat his wound.
Ige recoiled as Hawk scared the soul out of his body.
"Y-Yes! I believe you! You probably would just strike me dead, very valid!"

Hawk held his position for a few seconds longer, then straightened, smiling warmly and gently.
"It's quite alright, Mr. Tsutomu. I don't bite. However, I do find it quite odd that such a trap was used, and so shoddily built as well. Perhaps we ought to ask the master of this realm if he did it."

[Monokuma's light theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELfxtdEakhk]Right on cue, the Demon Lord popped out from somewhere, looking annoyed. "You... you nimwit!! Who do you think built this entire place? You really think I'd settle for such a poor-quality trap? I am a master craftsman! I take pride in my work!"

"It was merely an errant thought. I would hardly put it past you to make one this badly put together on purpose, to pit us against each other. After all, you can take pride in causing chaos in the same way."

"I think this can go back and forth forever, so maybe we shouldn't try to aggravate the demon lord..." Nico said.
"But where does that leave us? Maybe it's just me, but it kind of seems like we've exhausted most possibilities and it feels like we're no closer to solving the mystery."

"It was merely an errant thought. I would hardly put it past you to make one this badly put together on purpose, to pit us against each other. After all, you can take pride in causing chaos in the same way." "That does sound like something I would do," Monokuma replied, blushing. "But no! I am the Demon Lord of the Game Realm. Games... have rules." He waddled over to the trap and lifted up the metal tube, peering down it curiously. "What is this thing, anyway? Pretty lame contraption, if you ask me!" "I think this can go back and forth forever, so maybe we shouldn't try to aggravate the demon lord..." Nico said. "But where does that leave us? Maybe it's just me, but it kind of seems like we've exhausted most possibilities and it feels like we're no closer to solving the mystery." "Upupupupu... Giving up already? No complaints here! The Game's more fun if there's an unidentified killer prowling around! Ahahahahaha!" He tossed the metal tube at Ige before hopping behind something and disappearing, just as suddenly as he'd appeared.

"Nico's right. Whoever made that arrow trap must've been over-careful." Calvin replied as he cross his arms, deep in thought.
