So the monkeys around the city wanna turn everyone into monkeys and turn the city into Cusillopolis or some stupid shit because they're idiots and don't know their stupid god is in a shoebox or wherever Angelina keeps her deck when she isn't using it.

I'm too angry to properly take apart a set up like this, so I'm gonna wait a couple days and see if this resolves itself before I go do anything.

[Private to Juudai, Isabel, Cyril, other investigators]

So I went to the new murder site.biggest scripture yet.

Dying, he spoke of the future, telling the family that not only did they need to kill the prophet of the New God, who was a monster diabolical yet most loyal, but that blessed rites had to be done.And for these rites, two women would need to be found by the family. One was The Priestess of Many Minds who had seen the scope of all That Was and Will Be, to build the door to the unseen side, where the New God lay. The other was The Priestess of Many Faces who had seen the world hereafter and the world that is, so that she may give of her body and blood to build the body of the Herald, the blessed emissary of the New God who would destroy the Old God and rebirth the world."With his dying breaths, the man who could change faces pointed to the Tower, and spoke it was where the Prophet of the New God lay.

And I have NO fucking clue what that means, at all.

But I think I figured out what all this shit is -for-, at least.

Do ya need 'elp kickin' the shit outta the monkeys?

[Private to the Beast]

Yeah? Whatcha thinkin' it's all for?

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

See below.

[azuremagma.livejournal.com]

Crazy as shit.

...Well, spirits shouldn't be so damn lazy an' try ta make bodies like some o' us.

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I don't think spirits are doing this anymore.

[azuremagma.livejournal.com]

Well, no fuckin' shit.

The big question is why the fuck are these bastards doin' it?

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...I have a theory, but you need to get those samples analyzed before I can be sure.

[azuremagma.livejournal.com]

I'd 'ate it if we're on the same track an' we're right, beast.

Le's 'ope an' pray we ain't.

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

What's really pissing me off, is even if we're entirely right, we don't know where to go from there! We don't have a single clue about WHO is doing it, just how and why.

[azuremagma.livejournal.com]

There's gotta be some cocky arrogant prick who's jus' kinda smilin' and laughin' while people're dyin' an' we're scramblin'.

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what it means either.

What do you think all this is for?

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

Somebody wants to make duel spirits solid again. And for everyone to see them.

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

I see. You did previously say this may of been linked to the thing Jin did so that makes sense.
Question is why they're trying to make them solid and so everyone can see them.

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

..I dunno. The only thing I can possibly think of.. some sort of weird idealism.

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

So far the scriptures have been sort of clues to what happens next, haven't they? The only way for us to get a step ahead of them is to figure it out... but damn that passage makes my head hurt.

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...Well, it's obvious the next people are gonna be two women.

"Many Faces" and "Many Minds".

...What does that mean.

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

Many minds could mean someone who... has a personality disorder? Many different personalities and such? Or are more than one person?
Many faces... maybe someone who's good at being in disguise? Someone who can shapeshift and change their face? Or maybe someone who's rather deceiving?

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...Two things make me think these won't be ordinary people, though.

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

Two things?

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

First, the parts about them seeing everything and stuff.

Secondly..

The last six murders were based on elements. Light, Fire, Water, Dark, Wind, Earth. the Duel Monsters elements.

And element number seven is...

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

...Divine.

...I hate that word.

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I'm not so fond of it either.

Re: Private to Investigators

[i-like-red.livejournal.com]

So what happens next will have something to do with that element...

Re: Private to Investigators

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I have no clue, I haven't been able to guess any of them yet.

[Private to Investigators]

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

You missed the very top line.

"In the land of the consuming earth, the family met a man who could change faces, but he was buried in the earth."

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I was flustered. My bad.

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

Still. You think someone would be as stupid as to redo the shit from last year? Those things were all the fuck over the place.

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I think whoever is doing this is a crazy idealist.

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

... Crazy Idealist? I don't quite see it.

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...I don't have the proof to back my idea up yet, sadly.

Re: [Private to Investigators]

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

Then it's pointless. But two women... Many faces and Many minds... seems odd.

But I think it might be a murder of three possibly. Remember, they need to kill the "New God's Prophet". Unless that's an 8th murder.

Private to Investigators

[fireybrush.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to think the killer is male. The... Writing patterns are a clue.

I also suspect that the Priestesses... I think I might know who they are.

Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda busy, so gimme the spark notes real quick and tell me if/when we're gonna start beating motherfuckers up.

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

I think whoever is doing this wants duel spirits to be solid and for everyone to see them.

The next two people they will kill are "The Priestess of Many Minds" and the "Priestess of the Many Faces", I figure they're probably not normal considering the evidence I listed to Juudai.

I think there's a possibility both the tarot cards and text, while informative, are red herrings.

If nobody else takes care of him, I'm going to go rip Monkey King Zeman's arms off in a few days.

Re: Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

....ah.

Noriko.

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

..What?

Re: Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Just takin' a stab in the dark; stuff you described sounds like Noriko.

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...Fuck it does.

..Which makes everything even more worrying, because it means they know how she is and are confident they could kill her.

Re: Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

....she's not as tough as she used to be.

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

...Mmmn.

That means they know what she is... That means they either know her, or have some way to tell if someone has some sort of ability...

Goddammit..

..We need to figure out who the other person is. It might help us figure out who's doing this.

Re: Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...just so we're one the same page here, are we assuming Noriko is Many Faces or Many Minds.

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

Minds.

Re: Private

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Many faces...

...it...sounds like somebody who's....seen the afterlife, maybe?

Re: Private

[beastkingnaoma.livejournal.com]

....
...Hoo boy.
