Chapter 1 - The ice always has its cracks [Deadly Life] [Begins!]

Spongebob: ...

Marge: ...

Larry: ...

White Impostor: ...

Skid and Pump: ...

Spongebob: W-what...?

Everyone stared at Alex's dead body. It was an inevitable sight. Their minds raced to think what they saw.

Larry: A-alex?

*Ding Dong, Bing Bong!*

Monocrow: "Hello comrades, we have a special announcement to make!"

Parallel Larry: "A body has been discovered! Heck yeah!!!"

Monocrow: "That's right. Go to the Restaurant's Kitchen to find the body. After a certain amount of time. The Vacation Trial will begin."

*Click*

Skid: W-what was that...?

White Impostor: That was the body discovery announcement. The rules said if 3 or more innocent people found the body, it would ring.

Spongebob: D-does that mean?

White Impostor: That's right. Alex is dead. And the culprit is here on this island.

https://youtu.be/4FIN-KmkK38

Spongebob: N-no...

Larry: N-no... Alex?

Larry: ALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!

Marge: No, no, NO!!!

Larry rushed to Alex's dead body, trying to wake her up, but to no avail. Marge covered her eyes from tears. Skid and Pump hugged each other from fear, White Impostor was looking around the Kitchen. And Spongebob?

He was staring; shock on his face. The room was silent.

Suddenly a loud footstep came to the Kitchen. Woody entered in.

Woody: I heard the announcement! What is-

Woody looked at Alex's dead body.

Woody: ...You've got to be kidding me...

Woody's eyes widened in horror as he realized the gravity of the situation. He saw Larry weeping on Alex's shoulders. Woody then grabbed Larry from the shell and started to drag him away from the body.

Larry: W-w-Woody?! W-what are-

Woody: Sorry, Larry. But we can't let you tamper with possible evidence because you are devastated.

Larry: B-but Alex i-is...!

Woody: I know... I know... And I'm sorry.

Larry then turned to Woody and clung to him. He did his remaining crying right next to him.

At that moment, Flowey and Izzy entered in a lightspeed.

Izzy: Okay, okay! What is going on he-

They both saw the body.

Izzy: Alex?

Flowey: ...Lovely... Juuuust lovely...

Flowey: Someone just had to kill her because of that damn motive!

Flowey saw the knives on the floor.

Flowey: What the heck? Why are there knives on the floor?

Uzi and Monokuma entered in as Flowey muttered that. They saw the state of the body.

Uzi: No way! Someone actually did this?

Monokuma: ....As expected.... There is no escape from the killing game...

Uzi looked down and saw the knives.

Uzi: And what are these knives for?! And what about that pot?

Flowey: Ya think I have answers for that?!

Natsuki entered in with anger.

Natsuki: Okay, what the hell is going on here?!

Natsuki saw the body and the fear overwhelmed her.

Natsuki: A-ah...

Natsuki: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Monika: Natsuki what's wrong?!

Monika and The Girlfriend appeared in the Kitchen when Natsuki screamed. The Girlfriend's hair was wet and messy. They saw the body and both of them were shocked.

Girlfriend: Alex? N-no way!

Monika: (disappointed) How unfortunate... I was starting to like her.

Girlfriend: Me too...

The Girlfriend stepped on the knife and saw knives all over the floor.

Girlfriend: What the? This is not ordinary.

Monika: Indeed. Most confusing sight.

Stewie barged in with anger on his face.

Stewie: Okay, what the devil is going on here?!

Then he also saw the body.

Stewie: ...Son of a bitch! Someone really did this!

Stewie rushed to the body.

Stewie: My god! Someone took her sword and stabbed her!

Woody: Y-yeah... That's what I was thinking too...

And then lastly, Handy and Papyrus entered in.

Papyrus: Sorry we are late! We were at-

And they also saw the body.

Papyrus: NYAAA!!!!

Handy: So... someone in the end murdered that swordswoman...

...

The time went by. Everybody was at the Restaurant. Monocrow and Parallel Larry had appeared in front of them. The atmosphere was devastating.

https://youtu.be/UCOjOXhWkjQ

Monocrow: Ahem! Since the mood here is a little calmer, I think it's time for a little replay here.

Natsuki: Calmer? YOU think I'm calm here?! Someone has been murdered and I have to watch the rotten body!

Handy: Will ya shattup? You annoy me.

Natsuki: Why should I?! There is a dead body and no one else is saying about it?!

Handy: That's because they are mourning, dumbass.

Natsuki: Quiet you!

Flowey: Shut up, both of you!

Natsuki and Handy shutter their mouth.

Flowey: We DON'T have time for this! So will you just shut yer trap and listen to that bird!?

Handy: (huffed) Hrmp!

Monocrow: Erm... Can I continue now?

Uzi: Like that's going to change the outcome.

Monocrow: Well then. It would appear that Alex, the Ultimate Adventurer has been killed. It would seem that you all have to investigate the crime scene.

Monokuma: I know that.

Girlfriend: W-well... we all do...

Flowey: That's right. So what's your point?

Monocrow: My point is that you have to find her culprit. And that culprit is currently in this room.

Izzy: Well yeah! It's you! Isn't it?

Monocrow: We are bidden to kill a participant. It's in the rules.

Parallel Larry: And if you can't see it-! ...Then get glasses, because it might get worse.

Izzy: Wait, bidden? But does that mean-?

Parallel Larry: That's right! One of YOU is the killer of Alex!

Spongebob: H-huh?!

Skid: Y-you're kidding!!

Everyone started to look at each other. Their trust started to crack into pieces.

Papyrus: One of you guys did it?

Monika: No, I didn't do it.

Natsuki: Yeah, skeleton! Why so accusative?! Are you sus or something?!

Handy: He is accusative? What about you, ms Loud-Mouth?

Natsuki: I didn't kill her!

Girlfriend: Monokuma, did you do it?

Monokuma: Hey! Just because I saw the former killing game, doesn't mean that I killed her.

Flowey: Yeah, right. There is guilt written all over your face!

Stewie: Shut up, Flowey! You could have used your magical vines to kill her!

Flowey: And your technological intelligence didn't? 

Stewie: Okay, now you are just pointing fingers at everyone! Well, except it's your vines...

White Impostor: So, Uzi. Did you do it?

Uzi: Don't try to place the blame on me!

White Impostor: You are the most mysterious one here. I'm not surprised if you killed someone.

Uzi: (sarcasm) Riiiight... And the Ultimate Serial Killer is the innocent one here. Everyone believes that.

Izzy: No, Uzi. He is the most suspicious one!

Uzi: I was being sarcastic!

Izzy: Oooooh! I see! Anyways, Pump is sus-

Marge: ENOUGH!!!

Everyone stopped their argument and stared at Marge. She was angry at first but then she calmed down a bit.

Marge: Okay, look I get it. One of us is the murderer and we have to suspect others. But we can't keep arguing and blaming each other for any piece of evidence! Isn't teamwork one of the key elements for solving murder crimes?

Everybody started to look at each other.

Monika: Marge is right. Alex was murdered. And we need to find the culprit.

Papyrus: Indeed... I'm sure Alex doesn't want us to fight with each other.

Monocrow: Whew! I was worried that this whole scene was going to be too loud.

Parallel Larry: Really? I kinda liked it.

Monocrow: You like it when your clone freaks out every second, but I digress.

https://youtu.be/yslw56an_PY

Monocrow: Now, then. Do you all know what to do in the Vacation Trial?

Izzy: Find the culprit? Check! Present Evidence? Check!

Monocrow: Good. Then it would be wise for us to present a helpful item that would help you in the investigations.

Girlfriend: Helpful item?

Monocrow showed a blanket to everyone.

Natsuki: A blanket?! How is that helpful?!

Monocrow: The item is underneath this blanket. Try to guess what is underneath this blanket.

Flowey: Magnifying Glass?

Stewie: Another secret of yours?

Marge: Hair?

Larry: Nintendo Switch?

White Impostor: The murder weapon!

Monokuma: Let me guess... It's a file from the dead body.

Monocrow: Correct you are!

Uzi: A file?

Monocrow revealed the Monopad he had. He took it.

Monocrow: Now then, I will send the Monocrow File to your tablets. It will reveal the victim's cause of death, place of death, time of death, injuries, final words, and a potential murder weapon.

Pump: W-woah! That's a lot!

Stewie: A lot is better than less! We better get all the info we get!

Monocrow: Very well! Here we go!

Monocrow pressed the button on his tablet. Then everyone got the notification.

Monocrow: I hope this will help you to investigate. Good luck!

Parallel Larry: Or not! Hehehee!

Flowey: Not funny, moron.

Monocrow and Parallel Larry left. The tension was still high in the Restaurant.

https://youtu.be/IkCvFYGHY7c

Larry: W-what do we do now...?

Handy: Investigate. Have you paid any attention?

Woody: Are you going for a guy who can't get a grip on Alex's death?

Handy: I don't have time for this. I need to find evidence. My life is on the line here.

Flowey: So are the rest of our lives, idiot.

Handy: Whatever...

Skid: This is kinda spooky... Do you think we can find the culprit?

Girlfriend: I dunno. I never investigated the crime scene before...

Papyrus: Neither have I! On a record at least.

Larry: C-can we even do this...? What if the killer is slick to get away with it?

Woody: I don't think they can get away with it... The killer usually leaves some evidence behind.

Larry: Wait... you think so?

Woody: (reasured) Positive.

Uzi: Woody's right! There is something that we can use to catch! And I'm going to find it!

Larry: (got excited) Uzi! You are the Ultimate Detective, aren't you?!

Uzi: Heh! That's right! I can solve this case easily! Just leave it to me!

Marge: Great! We won't be disappointed then!

White Impostor: And what if Uzi is the killer?

Papyrus: Uh... I think this is a trick question.

Uzi: Are you really going to accuse me?

White Impostor: Nope. I was thinking of possibilities.

Girlfriend: Then why are you smirking?

White Impostor: Because this is fun. I have waited for this moment from the beginning.

Spongebob: H-huh?!

Marge: You don't have a soul, do you?

White Impostor: Who cares about souls? I care about catching the funny doer in here!

Flowey: This might be a problem...

Papyrus: Ahem! I think it's time for a plan! We need to investigate this whole island and we need volunteers!

Uzi: Let's start with the body. We need at least 3 volunteers to guard the body.

Izzy: I'll do it! Whoever comes even closer to the body... they get whacked by me!

Monokuma: I will guard the body as well.

Papyrus: So do I! I'm the great Ultimate Royal Guard after all!

Flowey: What about the rest of the island?

Marge: I think Skid and Pump should be excluded from the investigation.

Skid: What?! Why?!

Marge: You two are still kids. It was already horrifying to see you two watching the dead body.

Monika: I guess you have a point.

Flowey: I think that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard! Kids can't investigate crime scenes?! What is this? Age-cism?!

Marge: Flowey, you need to understand that kids can't have traumatized images. It will affect their future, and not in a good way.

Flowey: Like they have seen enough...

Uzi: I'm going to investigate everything here.

Stewie: So do I!

Spongebob: I'll do it as well!

White Impostor, Monika, and Handy: So do I.

Woody: I will investigate around this hotel for clues.

The Girlfriend: I'll join you.

Marge: Natsuki, Flowey, and Larry. What do you do in this investigation?

Larry: I-I don't know...

Natsuki: No being with you guys. I'm out!

Larry: W-what?! You won't cooperate?!

Flowey: Dummy! You think you can solve this alone?!

Natsuki: Well duuh! Of course, I can! Besides I don't wanna be near you guys! One of you is the murderer!

Larry: N-no, that's not true!

Izzy: (suspecting her) And what if YOU are the culprit? HMMMM???

Natsuki: D-don't come near me, you creep!

Natsuki left the Restaurant.

Monika: Was that necessary Izzy?

Izzy: What was necessary?

Monika: You made her leave.

Izzy: I did?

Flowey: Oh please! Izzy makes everyone leave! Don't complain about such a petty thing!

Monika: How is protecting a friend petty?

Flowey: Have you paid any attention to Natsuki's behavior?

White Impostor: That girl is a bitch. That's for sure.

Flowey: Oh please! You're no price either.

Uzi: Can we stop arguing...

Uzi: FOR 25 SECONDS?!

Flowey: Pheh! Whatever...

Flowey: Anyways, I'm going to tag with Spongebob.

Spongebob: *gasp* Really?!

Flowey: ...It's not like I have a choice. Besides you were going to ask me anyway.

Spongebob: That's awesome!

Larry: C-can I tag with you guys as well?

Spongebob: Sure!

Marge: In that case, I will keep an eye on Skid and Pump.

Papyrus: Well then, you all have your jobs! Let's get cracking!

And with that, everyone split up. Spongebob was with Flowey and Larry.

Spongebob: (This is going to be hard... but we will make it.)

Spongebob: (Don't worry Alex! Your death won't be in avail.)

Spongebob: (We will avenge you! We will find the culprit and give them the justice they deserve!)

Spongebob: (Because as long as this sponge is square and my name has bob...)

Spongebob: (I won't let everyone down!)

*Investigation Starts! (Buddies - Flowey and Larry)*

https://youtu.be/lPQkosCla7Y

Larry: So what should we investigate first?

Flowey: We should look at this Monocrow File. There might be some important clues in there.

Spongebob: I agree!

Larry: Let's see then.

Spongebob opened the tablet. Flowey and Larry came to Spongebob's shoulders to see it. Then the File appeared.

Larry: Woah!

Flowey: That's more than I thought...

Spongebob: Let's see...

*Victim - Alex, Ultimate Adventurer

Place of Death - Restaurant's Kitchen

Time Of Death - 7:34 AM

BDA - 7:36 AM (Undecisive - Spongebob Squarepants, Larry Koopa, Marge Simpson, Skid, Pump, and White Impostor)

Cause of Death - A contusion on the occiput

Notable Injuries - There are two stab wounds. The diamond sword has pierced through the stomach, the blood coming. The inside of the stomach also has blood due to the sword wound. The occiput has fractures, causing the occipital bone to crack. The impact was too hard, which caused blood poring from the occipital bone. There is a stab wound on the back, which caused nerves from the backbone area to break.

Murder Weapon - No items were used to cause the contusion on the occiput. The murder weapon is bigger than Alex herself.

Last Words - "I don't see any problems with-"*

Spongebob: That's... very impressive amount of info we got!

Larry: Yeah...

Flowey: This is interesting. The murder weapon is bigger than Alex? This is something worth thinking about.

Larry: What does "contusion on the occiput" mean?

Flowey: It means that behind the head bone area was hit by something hard.

Larry: Is the occiput that important?

Flowey: Well, let's say if it cracks even one bit, you have 20 minutes to live.

Larry: O-oh...

Spongebob: (The Monocrow File provided us with something. But that now brought more questions than answers.

Spongebob: (We better look for this mysterious murder weapon.)

*Ding!*

Spongebob: Huh? What was that?!

Larry: It's your tablet!

Spongebob: Oh? I need to look at what it is.

Spongebob pressed the notifications button. It brought a new setting to the Monopad.

*Monocrow File has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Spongebob: "Truth Condiments?" Funny word for evidence!

Flowey: Truth Condiments? (Looked at his tablet) Mine says "Truth Pellets".

Larry: And mine says "Truth Shells"!

Spongebob: They named our evidence differently? What does it mean?

Flowey: It means that the evidence we collected is now stored in a different way. It's not the same as before.

Spongebob: That's interesting.

Flowey: But enough about that. Now it's time to look at the crime scene.

Spongebob, Flowey, and Larry went to the crime scene. Izzy, Papyrus, and Monokuma were next to Alex's dead body. Stewie was checking the body. Uzi was on her notepad, possibly writing down the evidence she collected. White Impostor was looking at the knives on the floor. Monika and Handy were waiting in the Restaurant for people to leave the scene.

Spongebob: Let's start with the body.

Spongebob, Larry, and Flowey went to the body, until-

Izzy: HALT!!!

Spongebob: WOAH!!

Izzy: Very important investigation going on here! No intervening!

Spongebob: Sorry, Izzy. We need to focus on the investigation.

Papyrus: Don't worry. We will let you see the body. After Stewie is done of course.

Stewie: No need to wait. I'm already finished.

Monokuma: That was quick. What are the results?

Stewie: It would appear that the Monocrow File was right. "The diamond sword has pierced through the stomach. Blood keeps pouring. The occiput has fractures, causing the occipital bone to crack. The impact was too hard, which caused blood to pour from the occipital bone."

Flowey: That's what the Monocrow File said.

Stewie: However, the head wound seems to have a square-shaped wound. A tiny bit of wood was caught in the blood that was located on her hair.

Papyrus: Wood?

Stewie: That's right.

Stewie: Aside from that these two stab wounds are different.

Larry: How so?

Stewie: The sword's wound is 8,2 cm long. while the stab wound from behind is 4,5 cm long.

Izzy: Whaaaat?! That's like way skinnier than a sword!

Stewie: That's right. There are two knives used in this crime.

Monokuma: Talking about overkill...

Spongebob: (So that's what's with the wounds... Got it)

*Alex's Wounds has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Papyrus: What else do we know about the sword? 

Stewie: The sword had passed through and its tip part is likely in the stomach part where food gets digested.

Flowey: E-eww...

Stewie took the sword out of the body.

Stewie: It would also appear that this sword's tip has chafing on it.

Larry: It does?

Stewie: Yeah. The particles from it have been worn off. This sword was used to make marks on a heavy material.

Spongebob: Sweet Nepture!

Flowey: That's a good amount of info. Thank you, Stewie.

Stewie: No problem.

*Diamond Sword has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Papyrus: Hm...

Flowey: What is it Papyrus?

Papyrus: Is it just me or... is there blood on the top shelf?

They looked at the top shelves. There was a smudge with the blood.

Stewie: You are absolutely right! That might be from the impact!

Papyrus: So Alex was hit by that?

Stewie: Certainly!

Spongebob: (That could be what we are looking for!)

*Smudge on the Top Shelf has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Izzy: OOOO!!

Spongebob: W-what?! What is it?

Izzy: Look underneath Alex's body!

Izzy moved the right leg of Alex's. What it revealed was surprising.

It was a letter. A N was carved on the floor.

Papyrus: Spectacular! It's a letter N!

Spongebob: That's definitely something we should investigate.

Larry: What could it mean?

Stewie: That is none other than a dying message!

Spongebob: Dying message? What's that?

Flowey: A Dying message is like a final words from the victim. It mostly reveals the culprit's name or a code on something.

Spongebob: Ooooh! This is so cool! Alex's last words are right here! On the floor!

Flowey: We can't be certain this is Alex's work either. The culprit could have misled us with fake evidence.

Spongebob: They have?

Flowey: That's a possibility.

Spongebob: (So this is Alex's dying message. The letter N. If this is the culprit's name, then we might be closer to the truth!)

*Dying Message has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Flowey: Well, that's enough from the body.

Larry: What now?

Flowey: Well the crime scene of course!

Larry: Right...

Spongebob: Wait... should we ask for accounts from these people?

Flowey: Well okay!

Spongebob: Papyrus, what did you do this morning?

Papyrus: Ah! I woke up at 5:33 AM! Then I ate breakfast for 30 minutes. Then at 6:12 AM, I saw Marge going to the Kitchen and The Girlfriend going to the Swimming Pool. When Handy came down I followed him because he refused to come to the meeting. We walked around the island until the BDA rang.

Spongebob: Hm... I see! Thanks!

Papyrus: No problem Spongebob!

*Papyrus' Account has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Monokuma: I was in my room sleeping.

Izzy: So do I!

Flowey: Well that doesn't help. But thanks anyway.

Monokuma: Sure thing!

Spongebob, Flowey, and Larry went to the pool of knives. White Impostor looked around the door.

Flowey: What is with this knife pool?

White Impostor: These appeared when we opened the door. Along with this pot.

Spongebob: What's in the pot?

White Impostor: I don't know. There's nothing in the pot though...

Spongebob: Let's start with the knives.

White Impostor: The knives are from this kitchen. I know that because I'm a knife expert.

Flowey: Or you checked the knives on Day 2 because you are a knife freak!

White Impostor: Well, knives are my thing.

Larry: Are all of these knives taken from drawlers?

White Impostor: Not all of them. For example, the food knives are not in this bunch. And only 4 out of 10 kitchen knives are here. Surprisingly, a lot of meat knives are in here.

Spongebob: Knives were taken at random?

White Impostor: They only needed to fill the pot with knives. Who cares what type of knife is in this pot?

Flowey: That's true.

*Number of Knives has been added to your Truth Condiments.*

Larry: What about the pot?

White Impostor: The pot is a different story. There is some sticking substance underneath the pot. Almost like glue or something.

Flowey: What?

Spongebob: So this was glued to somewhere.

White Impostor: Oh course! And my guess is on that shelf!

White Impostor pointed to the shelf that was next to the door, Flowey went to the the shelf and saw something.

Flowey: Yeah, the same substance is on this shelf.

Spongebob: So the pot was placed there.

Flowey: That's how it is.

*Pot has been added to your Truth Condiments*

*Strange Substance has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Larry: Hey, look! That pot's holder has a rope tied to it!

Spongebob: Hmm... That could be a clue. Let's investigate further.

White Impostor and Larry followed the rope trail and it led to the Kitchen door's doorknob.

Larry: The doorknob?

White Impostor: I see... I think I can connect the dots here.

Flowey: You can? Care to elaborate?

White Impostor: Hm.... NAW!!!

Flowey: Naw?! So you rather keep it to yourself?!

White Impostor: I'm sure you can connect the dots here. It's quite simple actually.

Flowey: Grr...

Spongebob: (So this rope is connected to the pot and the doorknob. When me, Larry, White Impostor, Skid, Pump, and Marge were pushing this door, was it stuck because of this pot?)

Spongebob: (That would explain that mystery.)

*Rope has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Flowey: Hey, Serial Killer! What did you do this morning?

White Impostor: Ask Larry and Spongebob. We have the same accounts.

Flowey: Oh really?

Larry: Yeah we do.

Flowey: Mind elaborating on what happened before you found the body?

Spongebob: We went to the breakfast around 6:50 AM. We spent our time with Skid and Pump.

Flowey: What about Marge?

Larry: She was cooking breakfast. Cereal and an omelet. It took a while until she finished them.

Spongebob: After some time, we heard a loud "BAM!"

Flowey: Bam?

Larry: Yeah! We tried to open the door but it was stuck. After a minute we managed to open the door and those knives and the pot fell. And then... we s-saw her...

Spongebob pulled Larry to the side hug to confront him.

Flowey: So that's what happened here huh... I guess you three have airtight alibies then...

White Impostor: Heh! Didn't expect you to prove my innocence.

Flowey: Gr...

*Morning Account has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Flowey: Well that's all from this section. Let's move on... 

Spongebob: Alright, let's continue.

Spongebob, Flowey, and Larry went to Uzi, who was investigating the window.

Spongebob: Hey, Uzi! What are you looking at?

Uzi: The window. There's bloodstain on it.

Larry: Really?

Uzi: See for yourself.

They looked out the window. There was a bloodstain on it.

Flowey: You can open this window right?

Uzi: Yeah. There's a handle on both sides.

Flowey: Both sides... Interesting fact.

Spongebob: (So the outside and inside have a handle? I should remember that.)

*Window has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Spongebob: Also, Uzi. What did you do this morning?

Uzi: I was sleeping then I woke up at 7:25 AM. I needed to organize my notes. I was interrupted by the Body Discovery Announcement in the middle of my work.

Larry: No new info, huh?

Uzi: Not really.

Uzi: But you can give me info about your account.

Spongebob and Larry explained their account in the morning.

Uzi: So the door was stuck and knives came out?

Larry: Yep!

Uzi: Thanks for that account. I will go now. I've seen everything in here.

Uzi left the Kitchen. Stewie had moved to the empty knife stand.

Stewie: What the-? This knife stand is empty.

Flowey: Pardon?

Stewie looked around the Kitchen,

Stewie: All knives from the knife stands have been taken!

Larry: Huh. Strange!

Stewie: Indeed! Keep that in mind!

Spongebob: Will do!

*Empty Knife Stands have been added to your Truth Condiments*

Spongebob: Stewie, can you tell me what you did this morning?

Stewie: Very well! I woke up at 5:25 and headed to breakfast. After that, I left the hotel at 5:52 AM and went to the Public Laundry. I was doing my laundry in there. After that, I simply left the Public Laundry and went for the morning walk on the Beach, until the BDA rang.

Flowey: Did you see anyone when you left the Public Laundry?

Stewie: Hm... I think I spotted Papyrus, Handy, and Monika at the crossroads. This was at 6:39 AM.

Spongebob: Papyrus, Handy, and Monika can then vouch for you.

Stewie: That would be the case.

Larry: That's good to know. Thanks, Stewie.

Stewie: No problemo! Now tell me if you see anything odd in here.

Larry: Have you checked the bloodstain on the window?

Stewie: Bloodstain? Interesting... I think I will examine the blood.

*Stewie's Account has been added to your Truth Condiments.*

Flowey: Okay. I think we are done here. Let's ask Monika and Handy in the Restaurant. 

Spongebob, Larry, and Flowey went to Monika and Handy, who were still waiting until the crime scene was cleared of people.

Spongebob: Hey, you guys.

Monika: Hello. Are you leaving from the Kitchen?

Flowey: Indeed we are. But now it's time to check your accounts.

Monika: That had to be expected.

Monika: Well, I woke up at 6:22 AM. I woke up so early that I left the hotel for a morning run. I went to the supermarket and I came across Papyrus, Handy, and Stewie. I don't remember the time because I was too busy jogging. Then I arrived at the SuperMarket around 7:20 AM. After that, I continued the run towards the Radio Tower and returned to the Hotel. The announcement rang when I got to the Kiosk.

Flowey: Hm... Adds up.

*Monika's Account has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Handy: Mine is the same as Papyrus. I woke up at 6:02 and I was heading towards the SuperMarket when Papyrus rudely tried to make me join you guys again. We did meet Stewie and Monika somewhere at the crossroads. I don't remember when since I was arguing with Papyrus. And then somewhere at the Park, we heard the Body Announcement.

Flowey: Rudely? Heh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Handy: Quiet you.

Flowey: Can't. I'm the detective here.

Handy: I rather see you as a circus clown.

*Papyrus' and Handy's Accounts have been updated to your Truth Condiments.*

Spongebob: Okay, Maybe it's time to investigate other places.

Larry: But where?

Flowey: Let's go to the back of the hotel. I have a feeling that the window might be the key to this case.

Larry: Got it.

Spongebob, Flowey, and Larry went to the window area. They heard something clanking and when they got to the behind the wall, they saw The Girlfriend and Woody take something from the dumpster. It looked like a red blanket.

Spongebob: Hey you guys. What is that?

Girlfriend: It seems to be a sheet; covered with blood.

Flowey: Say what?

Girlfriend showed them the bloodied sheet. There was some amount of it.

Flowey: Wow... This must be Alex's blood. But why is it here?

Girlfriend: I don't know...

Woody: Alex must've been killed somewhere else.

Spongebob: W-what?! Somewhere else?

Flowey: And you know this because of this sheet?

Woody: The killer transported Alex and covered her with this sheet. That explains the blood, right?

Girlfriend: Oh yeah! That would explain the blood!

Flowey: I'm surprised you know this stuff, "Ultimate Parkourer"...

Woody: ...

Spongebob: (Alex was transported...? How? and From where?)

Larry: Hey, what about this sheet?

Larry took another same-colored sheet. This time it doesn't have blood on it.

Flowey: That doesn't have blood. It might be useless.

Larry: Huh? Why can't we take it?

Flowey: We need something that is related to this case. Parallel Larry probably threw it because it was ugly.

Girlfriend: Well I suppose you are right.

Flowey and The Girlfriend started to look around. Woody came to Larry and looked at the sheet.

Woody: Hm... Give it to me. I might be able to find something from it.

Larry: What are you looking for?

Woody saw something on it and took it.

Woody: This might come in handy...

Spongebob: (Huh? Woody found something? I need to remember that.)

*Two Sheets have been added to your Truth Condiments*

Larry: If the killer was here. Where did they go?

Woody: I could think of two possibilities. The front door and this fire escape.

Larry: Fire Escape?

Woody: See that ladder? That leads to the roof. And over there is a window to the hotel rooms.

Spongebob: Wow... Is it important?

Woody: Probably.

*Fire Escape has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Larry looked around the dumpster. There was an empty shopping cart next to the dumpster.

Spongebob: What did you find Larry?

Larry: A shopping cart.

Woody: Oh? The killer most likely used it.

Larry: The killer went shopping?

Woody: Sure, if they bought a body and then took it from here.

Larry: They bought a body?!

That voice was so loud that The Girlfriend and Flowey heard that.

Flowey: I'm sorry. What?

Woody: Heheh... Larry was just making a joke.

Girlfriend: A joke? That's nice.

Flowey: Larry, now it's not time for jokes! We need to investigate.

Larry: But I-

Woody covered his mouth.

Woody: Hold on. Just go along. We need to keep this as the evidence.

Larry: G-got it.

Spongebob: Alright.

*Shopping Cart has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Larry: Woody, what did you do in the morning?

Woody: I was sleeping and I woke up at 7:30 AM. Then the BDA rang. It doesn't help much or give me an alibi for the murder.

Larry: Alright then. I still believe in you.

Woody: Thanks.

Spongebob, Larry, and Woody went to Flowey and The Girlfriend.

Spongebob: Hey, The Girlfriend.

Girlfriend: Hm...? What is it?

Spongebob: Can we get your account?

Girlfriend: Oh? Sure why not!

Girlfriend: I woke up at 6:00 AM and I went downstairs a few minutes later. I saw Marge going with Skid and Pump and Papyrus with Handy. After that, I went swimming at the pool. I swam there for the BDA time.

Flowey: Did you see anyone when you swam?

Girlfriend: I saw Spongebob, Larry, and White Impostor at 6:51 AM when I got out of the Locker Room. Then when BDA rang when I was going to get dressed I saw Woody at exactly 7:37 AM. After I got dressed I came with Monika to the Kitchen at 7:41 AM.

Spongebob: So basically you missed a few people when you got dressed?

Girlfriend: Yeah. I didn't see Natsuki, Izzy, Uzi, or Monokuma because I was still in the Locker Room.

Woody: That's unfortunate.

Flowey: Well it's still something.

Spongebob: (Girlfriend saw me, Larry, White Impostor, Marge, Skid, Pump, Papyrus, Handy, and Woody when she was swimming and came with Monika to the Kitchen. Well, I guess I could remember that info.)

*The Girlfriend's Account has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Flowey: Alright, we'll need to keep this information in mind. Thank you for your help, Girlfriend.

Girlfriend: No problem.

Larry: Well, where do we go now?

Flowey: I wonder which place is connected to the murder... Could there be more evidence at the hotel?

Woody: Hm...

Woody: I may check out the SuperMarket.

Flowey: Right! The culprit could have taken something from there.

Larry: I'll go with you.

Flowey: Same here.

Girlfriend: Well, then. I will stick with you Spongebob.

Spongebob: Sure! Let's go!

[New Investigative Buddy - The Girlfriend!]

They split up. Woody, Flowey, and Larr walked toward the SuperMarket while Spongebob and The Girlfriend stood still.

Girlfriend: So, Spongebob. Do you have any idea who the culprit is?

Spongebob: No, I'm not sure.

Girlfriend: Me neither. How hard is it to find the culprit?

Spongebob: Based on what Sandy had told me, it's indecisive.

Girlfriend: You mean sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard?

Spongebob: Yeah. I don't know much about DNA or blood samples, which only makes this case harder.

Girlfriend: That's too bad. Well, we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled and hope for the best.

Spongebob: Yeah, that's what I'm doing.

Girlfriend: Good. Now where to next?

Spongebob: (Good question... What place is likely to have evidence?)

Spongebob: (Or can I confirm someone's alibi with evidence?)

Spongebob: Stewie said that he went to Public Laundry at! Maybe there's evidence to back up his claims!

Girlfriend: That's a good idea. Let's go check it out.

Spongebob: Alright, let's go!

Spongebob and The Girlfriend went to the Public Laundry. As they entered it didn't look any different.

Girlfriend: Hm... Looks clean to me.

Spongebob: There might be something that can prove Stewie's alibi. Let's find it.

As they searched, The Girlfriend noticed that Stewie's laundry was still rolling in the washing machine.

Girlfriend: Wow. Stewie's laundry is still going.

Spongebob looked at the setting.

Spongebob: The polyester setting. I guess Stewie's fabric is polyester.

Girlfriend: And filled with ketchup. Look at his clothes; it's filled with ketchup!

Spongebob took a look. But Stewie's clothes weren't filled with ketchup. Spongebob realized what it was.

Spongebob: T-that's not ketchup... That's blood!

Girlfriend: (shocked) W-wait what?!

Spongebob stopped the washing machine and took all the clothes. They were soaking with blood.

Spongebob: W-why is there blood?!

Girlfriend: (trembling) I don't know, but this is Stewie's clothes...

Spongebob: (I hope Stewie didn't do anything...!)

*Stewie's Clothes has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Girlfriend: Wait... something is sticking between those clothes.

The Girlfriend pointed at the white cloth, that was covered with blood.

Spongebob: That's different from the rest of the clothes.

Girlfriend: Of course it would. Stewie only wears red overalls and a yellow t-shirt.

Spongebob: Okay, we need to check the other clothes.

Spongebob and The Girlfriend quickly searched through the clothes but found nothing else.

Girlfriend: Nothing. I guess this white cloth is the only suspicious one.

Spongebob: Hm... I guess you are right.

Spongebob: (I wonder why would this cloth exist in the first place.)

*White Cloth has been added to your Truth Condiments*

Girlfriend: Well, there's nothing else here that seems out of place. I guess we should go.

Spongebob: You're right. We probably should visit Flowey, Larry, and Woody in the SuperMarket.

Girlfriend: Good idea. Let's go.

As they went toward the SuperMarket a familiar shell rolled right next to Spongebob and Girlfriend.

Girlfriend: What the? Moving shell?

Spongebob: I remember this shell!

Larry popped from the shell. The Girlfriend backed up a little.

Larry: Aww! You do remember my shell!

Girlfriend: W-what?! You can do that?

Larry: Oh course we can! That's how Koopas can protect themselves.

Spongebob: (They are powerful, aren't they?)

Spongebob: Larry, did you find anything at the SuperMarket?

Larry: Yeah we did!

Girlfriend: Cool! What did you find?

Larry: It turned out that those shopping carts have those red sheets on them. Apparently to avoid any mini items falling from it.

Girlfriend: Oh that's interesting.

Larry: It would seem that one shopping cart and one red sheet were missing.

Girlfriend: Is that so?

Spongebob: Hold on. "One red sheet"? Are you referring to the sheet that the shopping cart we found?

Girlfriend: What shopping cart?

Larry: No. The other shopping cart was empty.

Spongebob: Really?!

Girlfriend: Why would a shopping cart miss two sheets?

Spongebob: (Good! She is confused! Woody won't be disappointed!)

Larry: I-I don't know... Maybe someone took them.

Spongebob: That's weird but okay.

*Larry's Account has been added to the Truth Condiments*

Spongebob: What else did you find?

Larry: Nothing else. Sorry.

Girlfriend: It's fine.

Spongebob: Hm... I wonder who the culprit is.

Girlfriend: We do have a lead, right?

Larry: You have?!

Spongebob: Well- that!

*Ding Dong, Bing Bong!*

Monocrow: "Attention every participant! It has been quite fun to watch you all investigating this case."

Monocrow: "But I'm afraid we are running out of time."

Parallel Larry: "So it's time for the REAL fun! Go to the Statue Area to wait for us. It's Vacation Trial timeeee!!!"

*Click*

Spongebob: W-what?! It's over?

Girlfriend: Well... I guess it's time.

Larry: I-I don't know guys... do we make it?

Spongebob: We have to. Everybody is counting on us.

Larry: That brings more pressure...

Girlfriend: Oh darling. Maybe we can go get ice cream after the trial?

Larry: R-really?! Thanks GF!

Girlfriend: Ahuhuhuu! No problem!

Larry ran toward the Statue Area.

Spongebob: That was impressive Girlfriend!

Girlfriend: This gal always knows how to cheer up guys.

Spongebob: Awesome!

Spongebob and The Girlfriend went to the Statue Area. Everyone was there.

Flowey: There you two are! What took so long?

Marge: Flowey, they were probably thinking about Alex. Healing takes time y'know.

Spongebob: (Actually we were casually chatting...)

Papyrus: Indeed... Why did she have to die?

Monokuma: I dunno. I'm beary worried!

Stewie: Come on. Finding the culprit can't be that hard!

Monokuma: Easy for you to say. You haven't witnessed any of the trials!

Stewie: Maybe not your trials. But I do know how to present evidence.

Handy: Yes, because no one can do that.

Uzi: Can you now? I'm thinking of every piece of evidence.

Spongebob: (I guess we have to try our best)

Skid: Uh... What now?

Izzy: Where is that bird?!

Monika: They should arrive soon.

Natsuki: I don't have time for this. I was supposed to relax at the beach!

Handy: Oh poo hoo! Someone doesn't get to the beach. Cry me a river!

Monika: I think that's enough, Handy.

White Impostor: No, no! Keep going. I'm enjoying this.

Larry: H-How can you e-enjoy something like this?

White Impostor: Because it's fun. I've never seen anything like this at Mira HQ.

Girlfriend: That's insane. It's like a real-life murder mystery!

Stewie: I think I have been in a murder mystery situation.

Marge: Really? What happened?

Stewie: We were invited to this mansion which was owned by James Woods.

Marge: *gasp!* You met James Woods?!

Stewie: Well, yeah. He invited us to dinner and then a person was shot.

Izzy: Jaiks! Awful dinner party!

Stewie: Then after that, James Woods was stabbed.

Marge: Huh?!

White Impostor: Heh. Good riddance.

Uzi: Who was the killer?

Stewie: Diane Simmons. The news anchor. She killed Pricilla, Muriel Goldman, and Derek as well.

Papyrus: That didn't sound good at all.

White Impostor: Too bad no one made a movie about it.

Stewie: Indeed. I would look good in it.

Flowey: How did we end up in this conversation?

Pump: What? We like small chats.

Skid: Besides the bird and the Koopa aren't here.

Monocrow: What do you mean? We are right here.

https://youtu.be/7QfETluvq8Q

Everyone was startled. Monocrow and Parallel Larry were standing right next to the statue.

Natsuki: What took you so long?!

Parallel Larry: Don't rush us! We were just preparing the trial room.

Handy: You prepared the trial room?

Monocrow: Yeah. It looks cool!

Marge: I doubt it would help us at all.

Monocrow: No. But does look the trial room more splendid.

Stewie: I think it would be more splendid if you could just let us to the trial room!

Monocrow: No, no. I will take you all to the trial room.

Marge: But... where is the trial room?

Uzi: Yeah. You don't expect us to do a trial outside?

Natsuki: No way! I will not stay next to that ridiculous statue at all!

Parallel Larry: Hey! I put that statue there!

Natsuki: Ergo, the ridiculous statue!

White Impostor: I dunno. The sword represents justice.

Parallel Larry: Thank y-

White Impostor: Which means after this game, I can murder you! Because justice equals anti-postor!

Parallel Larry: ...

Natsuki: Who is stupid now?

Parallel Larry pressed the elevator button and all of a sudden the statue started shaking.

Handy: The heck is happening?!

Pump: Look! The statue! It's moving!

Everyone was confused and scared. The statue started to move upwards. Then there were a set of doors. When they opened, it revealed a huge elevator.

https://youtu.be/_seqxzsNA7o

Girlfriend: What? That's an elevator?

Woody: L-looks like it.

Papyrus: So we have been walking near this elevator the whole time?!

Monocrow: That's right! Pretty impressive, right?

Skid: This is not spooky. This is scary!

Parallel Larry: Okay, that's a recycled line right there!

Skid: What-

Flowey: Let's just go. We have a murderer to catch!

Papyrus: Agreed!

Larry: W-well here goes nothing...

Everyone went inside the elevator. Once they got inside the elevator, the doors closed. Then it went downwards. Then there was silence. Everyone stared at the front door.

{Insert awkward elevator scene here}

Time went by and the silence echoed around the elevator. It almost felt like a step toward the depths of hell or when someone goes to the dentist. Everyone knew what was going to happen. And they had a feeling it wasn't going to end well. As the elevator continued to descend, the tension in the air grew palpable.

Eventually, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. When they walked inside they saw what the trial room looked like.

It looked weird. The trial room formed a circle.

Stewie: What the?! This doesn't look at the trial room at all!

Monocrow: What do you mean? If you step on the circle the podiums appear.

Izzy stepped on a circle and then the stand appeared from the ground.

Izzy: WOW!!!

Larry: It's like magic!

Handy: Except it's disturbing.

Larry looked to the right. There was a huge throne and a huge couch on the right.

Larry: Awesome! Can we sit on that couch?

Parallel Larry: No, Larry. You will stand on those podiums.

Larry: Aww...

Monocrow: Anyways... Your seats have been chosen. Now find your seat.

Everyone looked at their seats. Finally, everyone found theirs. Spongebob stood next to Monika and Woody. He looked quite nervous. But so was everyone.

Spongebob: (I-I don't know where this is going...)

Spongebob: (But here we are... in the fate on our hands...)

Spongebob: (Fallen hero had been found and we must solve their murder.)

Spongebob: (Alex. She really was strong, determined, and kind. She remained loyal to us even when times were tough. She stood against evil and protected the weak. She truly had seen the world that she couldn't see. Even though she didn't know much about this world and she was clueless most of the time, she still learned new things.)

Spongebob: (But she was killed... And the culprit....)

Spongebob: (Is one of us.)

https://youtu.be/APTO3nD5z0c

Spongebob: (Who could have done such a thing? Why would they bother murder someone when we could have worked together to leave this place?)

Spongebob: (Was it because of the motive? Or something more insane than the motive? Was it perhaps an accident or an intended murder?)

Spongebob: (There's only one way to do this. We need to find the culprit who killed Alex. We cannot let them get away with this! Because I'm Spongebob!)

Spongebob: (Destroyer of the EVIL!!!)

And so the long-awaited Vacation Trial has finally commenced. The battle of hope and despair has begun!

[7048 words. Phew! I'm finally finished with the Investigation. And now the Vacaton Trial is on its way! The elevator scene was scrapped since I was unmotivated to do it. But regardless hope you enjoyed this investigation.]
