The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

Which means no matter what, it is someone who Battler has met on the Island during that time.

That is why it's only 'no more' instead of just 'there are' in regards to the number of people.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Also correct.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

And the one who takes the name of Beatrice among the pieces never touched a single person as part of the epitaph.

That was the true culprit.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Do you have an idea of the true culprit?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...yes.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

[ Giving him a look that says 'say it, if you are absolutely sure.' ]

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...

[Really, the truth was too cruel to Battler.]

[Takes a deep breathe and let's it out slowly and that look came over his face, the look of a detective.]

Kyrie.

With Rudolf as an accomplice.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

You are sure of this truth?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Yes. [No hesitation.]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

... I'm not surprised.

Though there may be things you haven't solved yet, there were vital clues in the first three games that steered it in her direction.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

There is. Things that could be seen as her figuring it out are, in truth, her almost getting found out.

And Rudolf's own prediction. As well as other instances.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Perhaps now you understand Battler's ultimate conclusion that he must face.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] It'll be difficult for him.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

...

I suppose this is another reason I am no longer the Beatrice of Rokkenjima.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...because that is known?

Or you feel a bit bad for Battler?

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Neither.

I didn't open this game for you to solve it, after all.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...that is true.

But when it comes to giving you what you really want...it really does rely on him, doesn't it?

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Regardless, we will see where this decision takes me.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...well, it's not like it's the first time we might have done something to the sea of kakera.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

Right, I have a painfully blunt and embarrassing question for you.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...what is it?

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Was the Sorcerer in love with me?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[feajhroiwqjeoiwjeiwjeiowqewqijewq h-he wasn't expecting that.]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

[ She did say painfully blunt and embarrassing! ]

For what it's worth, I don't consider the two of you one in the same. Probably about as much as you view me the same as the detective Beatrice.
