The first death has happened! the trial will be next saturday at 9:00 pm cet!

What will happen now you might wonder? From now on all muses currently enrolled in the school may investigate to their heart’s content. All currently available areas will be unlocked for the time being (this includes personal rooms) and to investigate an area, you must write either to monogoma privately if you do not wish to share your findings for whatever reason you may have, or you may investigate in the discord cafeteria chatroom after which monogoma will provide a description of your area.

Furthermore a case file, the Monogoma File, has been uploaded to each student’s MonoPad. The Monogoma File reads as follows:

Name of deceased: Moon Sugiriyasa Age of deceased: 22 Time of death: estimated around 9 pm, friday night

The body was found in mirae huts #3 belonging to the victim. Cause of death was asphyxiation.

following the survey that has been running, (thanks to everyone who participated in it!) i would like to introduce some changes. First of all, everyone has been in favour of an ooc page, so i will need our members to send in their information they want on the page! this includes name/age/pronouns/contact/brief ooc description/time zone! the page itself will be up and running asap.

next is the matter of activity checks. while we aim for regular activity and expansions, we understand that people might find it stressful to achieve activity every single week. starting next activity check (since this one was a merged one for the last two weeks) we will implement a warning list! this means that if you have failed to be active for the week and you haven’t sent in a hiatus notice, you will be placed on this list and cleared if no activity come from you the following week. however! you may only appear on the warning list three times in three months. if we feel you are appearing repeatedly, we will remove you for inactivity and character hoarding.

third is the matter of amount of characters. i feel that we have a nice little community going on and want to thank everyone who has been sticking here since the beginning, since pretty much everyone who apped from the get go are still here. that’s why i feel comfortable raising the character limit to four muses per person. this was the average number people requested, so i feel it’s fitting. Please be active on your first and second muse for a total of three weeks before applying for a third, and be active on all muses for a total of four weeks for a fourth. this means that if you have appeared on the warning list with any muse, you have to additionally three or four weeks to apply. additionally you cannot be on hiatus with any muse, or your count restarts.

last thing is the shop. thank you for the feedback everyone, i feel like i have a good grasp of what to put in it now and will work on it over the span of the next week!

thank you for reading thus far!

hello everyone!

i understand that a lot of people are very stressed in this period of time, some due to the us election (heck i’m stressed about it and i’m not even american) and thus it has been decided that this week will be a free week. there will be no activity check this week, but next week we will continue as usual! this free week means that if you have been safe this week, but not next week you will still be safe for next check and of course that if you haven’t been safe this week but will be next, then you also get a pass!

we are also looking for murder volunteers! please contact either the ml, or mod seok or soon privately!

also if you haven’t already done it, please take your time to answer this survey. thank you to the people who already have done it!

as usual if there are any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.

hello people of hope’s peak!

with that, the last submit has been sent out, so feel free to check your inbox and if you should have received a motive prompt but haven’t, please contact us so we can send it again!

as a side note, i have coined together a little questionnaire both to dealing with an anon question we have received as well as some other things i would like to hear the community about, so i figured this was the best way to do it!

the last side note is that the official hope’s peak discord will open later today to commemorate the sending of the videos! here there will be a chat room for ic discussion for your muses to hold a meeting as it’s easier to do it like that than on dash! of course you are still free to post any reactions you want your muse to have on the dashboard.

(Title work in progress)

…

…

… emotions surrounding such loss are complex and messy, because one feels so many different emotions at the same time, such as shock, confusion, frustration, perhaps even relief. at the same time, people must face the practical reality of death, acknowledge the loss and dispose of the body. the most orthodox way that this is done is by employing the services of funeral homes…

… in this thesis, i wish to address the complexities that accompany the loss of a loved one. while the completion of the funeral often marks the end of the need to manage death, i want to ask: does memorialisation end with the funeral? does anything remain after? if so, what remains?

perhaps my own situation places me in an adequate position for my research. six years ago, i received the news that my parents had died. i remember feeling stunned and confused. i had to return and help my grandmother plan the funeral. initially, we received much support from friends, even the funeral home offered their support and care. but people eventually stopped calling, as though this loss was a blip in their lives, but for us, we were still sorting through our loss. i had to close their credit card accounts, organise their belongings. i found that i avoided talking about my parents even years after the incident, because it would bring up an indescribable sadness and discomfort in my heart.

the aim of this study is to ascertain the remains, the everyday forms of memorialisation that happen after the funeral. from my experience, i became interested in this experience of sadness and avoidance.

THE ULTIMATE THEIF IS PREPARED TO DO OR DIE

you’re sick of looking around and seeing other people having everything. your parents are hard-working, you assume anyway, they’re never around so they must be at work right – they wouldn’t leave you home alone without any good reason right? you spend your nights as a child running around trying to open cans and microwave the almost stale food that you can find for your youngest siblings and you sit and adjust the ever-static television so that you can just have a second of the silly cartoon normality that the others kids have. when you find the time to watch it, you’re so eager to talk to the other kids at school about it and they always laugh – that is so old. you try really hard, but you just don’t have much, your home lunches are boring, embarrassing compared to the other kids and you never get to go on the big field trips. all the adults always tell you the same thing: life just isn’t fair.

she’s always bragging about her new toys and clothes – it makes your stomach burn and your lungs seize up, you’re so desperate for something like that. you know that you only got invited to the part because everyone did, it’s not like anyone is even talking to you so no one even notices that you slip away, you’re just a scruffy kid that wasn’t there suddenly and everyone blames the birthday girls’ carelessness when they realise she’s lost her brand new necklace. you clutch it so tightly on the way home that it makes your knuckles go white – you feel warm on the inside. you hope you never lose that feeling. the man at the pawn shop barely questions you when you trade it in – you treat yourself and your siblings to a big meal, it’s the best one you’ve ever had.

you can’t bring yourself to stop. you giggle to yourself as you think of your sticky fingers making their way around, just taking things off of the store shelves. people finally start thinking that you’re not so bad – you finally look the part of a normal teenager, but you’ve not changed – you’re just masking, presenting. you give the best gifts too, so why wouldn’t people love you – you’re the provider now, and people start looking to you to get things. it’s not as if you’ve ever been caught. you make some friends that start noticing just what you can do – people say that they’re weird, unsavoury characters but you feel at home. they appreciate your talents, you start to think you’re good.

after some high profile jobs – you realise you’re the best.

hope’s peak is an opportunity for you – education isn’t really important to you, you’re a job or two away from living a comfortable life. despite your humble preferences, you can’t help it. slipping something away from other people’s prying eyes is an itch that you need to scratch. and you’re hungry for it.

THE ULTIMATE LINGUIST IS PREPARED TO DO OR DIE

yuchan cannot actually tell you how many languages he knows how to speak and understand properly. the number is too great and he is pretty sure he could probably say something from every language around the globe. even the ones that aren’t spoken any more. He’s always loved languages, ever since he was little he was brought up by his father speaking korean and english, his father a proud english teacher at the local high school in busan. and it was always a surprise to him how easily his middle child could pick up the language easy. by the time he was only three years old he was quite easily speaking in korean and english fluently and had already picked up quite a lot of japanese as well from some japanese family friends.

it was trend that kept up even as he got older and he started really taking an interest in even more languages, spending a lot of time pouring over different textbooks and studying online. and the speed he managed to pick up these new languages was unmatched. yuchan could quite confidently learn how to speak, read, write and understand a completely new language to have a proper conversation in just a week. his other two brothers never saw the appeal and their childhoods were spent playing outside and running around like madmen, something that yuchan didn’t see the appeal of himself.

of course, with knowing all these languages he does constantly suffer from #bilingualproblems. with so many different languages crammed into his brain it is very easy to get mixed up and even forget words in the language he is trying to communicate in. but that is certainly not going to stop him from trying to learn every single language humanly possible even if he is most likely never going to get the opportunity to have a conversation in said language. who else even knows how to speak latin well enough to have a full conversation in it these days?

maybe it was no surprise that he was labelled with the title of ultimate linguist, then, or that he was offered a chance to attend hope’s peak academy. but it was not a chance that yuchan was going to pass up on and while it was hard to leave his family in busan, he was eager to go all the same. and he thrived, loving the chance to speak to different people from all over the world, loving putting his language skills to the test and comfortably conversing with everyone possible.

And he was just as eager to go back for his final year, but ending up in some strange murder game run by a sentient teddy bear was certainly not what he was expecting.

As the students of hope’s peak academy begin settling into their new school life and things seem to progress smoothly, the whole scenario that occurred not long ago seems already like a faint memory. Life goes on despite no one being able to leave, and some might even be getting used to their new circumstances. Some might wonder if it was all a dream or some elaborate prank and if there is really any danger to be wary of.

On such a fine afternoon, the monitors across the school light up, and the silhouette of the strange bear who has introduced himself as the headmaster fills the screen.

“Ahem!” its strange voice calls out from every speaker on campus at once. “You bastards seem to be getting real chummy lately. It’s so very boring to watch,” it complains, one mechanical red eye lighting up almost as if in anger. “I couldn’t help but wonder where i have failed you as your headmaster. I’ve been beating myself black and white in agony wondering why no one wants to murder anyone, it was almost unbearable! So i spent the last week reading d*tective c*nan for inspiration, and came to realise that it was my fault all along for not providing you bastards with the most basic of basics for a good old fashioned murder!” For a moment the bear went silent as a drum roll and an exaggerated “ta-dah!” followed by obnoxious trumpet sounds filled the school. “My brilliant mind has found you bastards a motive! I’m sure all of you are just dying to know what is going on with your loved ones on the outside… upupu.”

In the private living quarters of every single student, the headmaster has planted an envelope addressed to the owner of the room. Inside is a small usb file that can be inserted into the monopad. If the file is opened, a video starts playing…
