"Tickery....it was you...wasn't it?" Serenade sounded sad saying it aloud.
"W...wha-....? What are...you saying? I killed...Zoom?" Tickery's eyes widened, looking at them, the were just empty voids of nothingness. Like she was already dead and her spirit had came back to haunt everyone still living. "How...ho-how hilarious...eheheheh...eheheheh....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She began laughing insanely, pupils shrank like she was trying to emphasise her breakdown. "OH! That is just PRICELESS!" She suddenly clamed down "But serious you think I killed her?" She started to giggle "Tickery would never do that!"
"W-what's gotten into her?" Samurai said
"Can I get a different podium, one a bit further away from this psycho?" Girmdark asks Monokuma but wasn't blessed with an answer.
"Shut the FUCK up Grimdark Sirens!" She yelled at him "You have nothing important to say in this!"
"She really had lost it this time" Hammer said
"What the FUCK did I just say to Grimdark you useless pervert!" Hammer whimpered at her insults. "Now...onto what's important..." She looked at Serenade with a sudden calmness "Tickery thinks you made a mistake, Tickery is not the killer!" She smiles eerily
"Well, could you explain why you couldn't be the culprit?" Beau asks
"Hmm...Tickery could most indeed do that! See, Locky is Tickery's best friend along with Olive!"
"We're talking about Zoom, not Lock" Hammer interrupts
"I'M FUCKING GETTING TO THAT!" She yells at him "Now...as I was saying...Locky was my best friend along with Olive...but regrettably, I'm a bit of a blabbermouth so...I didn't actually get a note asking me to meet him at the pool last night...and if I didn't get a note, then I couldn't have known about Locky's suicide...his suicide instructions, Olive mentioned and the fact that he wanted Olive to take the fall for it"
"...did you really just say something like that?" Beau says in disbelief "Didn't realize how stupid you really were"
"What? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
"You're an idiot...how did you know he wanted Olive to take the fall for him?"
"Well why else would Olive say she was the killer for Locky?"
"I may not have killed Lock...but I did kill Zoom..." Olive added
"You didn't" Serenade retorted
"Can we revoke her right to speak unless we directly ask her a question?" Beau asks Monokuma
"Sorry, no can do. Has to be a fair trial for everyone!" Monokuma folds his arms behind his head.
Well...I actually need some evidence or this discussion is going to go back and forth and we'll get nowhere...this note left by LOck should prove useful though...

Evidence Bullets
-Mysterious Note
-Lock's Final Words
-Olive's Testimony
-Tickery's TestimonyTickery- Well all Tickery has to say is...that she is not the killer!
Olive- That's because I am
Samurai- We're just going back and forth here...it's getting ridiculous
Hammer- Well...Tickery is saying she never went because she didn't get a note...but we don't actually have proof of that
Nimbus- Hmm...I don't think there is evidence like that
You got that wrong!
"Actually, there is evidence that Tickery went to the pool...if we think about it the right way...the mysterious note was written by Lock and Olive went to the pool twice that day...once, to find Lock's body and second was with Samurai, Tickery and I...but this note in the locker room. We never actually confirmed if it was Olive's or not"
"You think this one could have been given to Tickery?" Samurai asks
"Right, it's not impossible...if Olive has that note with her then that proves it"
I'll plough you out of my field!
Olive hit her hand against the stand "Actually that is my note, I must have dropped it when I went to get my swimsuit this morning"
"Olive, you can't be serious, can you?"
"I'm deadly serious, just try to disprove this!"

Serenade- But the problem is....you would simply cover for Tickery. She is your friend after all
Olive- Are you serious? Yes she is my friend but the punishment for getting it wrong is execution! You can't prove that I wanted to do that!
I'll cut that claim into pieces!
"Actually, the fact that you hid the evidence of Lock's suicide would suggest you were trying to hide it from us...because, there might be something on this that might point to the true culprit, I.e., Tickery!"
"S-shut up!" Olive yelled "What the hell are you saying?! I don't want to die even if it did mean saving Tickery..."
"Y-Yeah! Who in their right minds would do that?!" Tickery agreed
"He has a point though" Beau says "If you knew it was a suicide from the start...why hide the fact?"
"U-uhhhh....." Olive was left speechless
"Tell us Olive...why did you hide the fact?" Beau asked her again
"B-because...Lock said so in his instructions!" Olive said finally "He told us to cover the fact that his death was suicide!"
"No...that can't be true" Serenade says
"What do you mean exactly?" Nimbus questions him
"I mean...that, that would contradict with something else...."
Of course!
"Lock's last words....why would he leave these if he wanted it to be covered up?"
"Olive...h-help...." Tickery pleaded
"Shut up, shut up!" Olive yelled in frustration
"This is tiring....Serenade...?" Beau looks at him
"So it's time to finish this off eh?" Punch folds her arms "Let's hear it then..."
Another murder case...another plot
Here's How It Happened!
Act 1
This whole case starts off with one decision made by one of the students. Lock. He knew that is someone didn't die, everyone would have their secrets revealed so he hatched a plan to help protect what everyone had kept down for so long. His own death...he wrote out two notes. One was to Olive and the other was for the case culprit, he called them to the pool however, the time the notes had was after the time he planned to kill himself. At 3:35. He must have known the two would have been late and that's why he chose that specific time for them to show up.
Act 2
Before he actually committed the crime, he wrote out two more notes. His final words and a list of instructions on what to do with his body after he died. He grabbed one of the pool noodles that were stocked in the pool cart and wrapped it around it his neck. He pulled on it hard causing him to suffocate and fall to the ground. Dead. Only minutes later did Olive and the culprit come into the pool to find Lock's body with the two notes sat beside it. After reading his dying message they agreed to carry out their friends last wish...
Act 3
They attempted to move his body to the garden but that was around the time Punch went to the garden stopping their chances of doing so. Instead they dumped his body in the pool cart and covered it up with the various equipment. They went back to their rooms for a while until Olive gave the idea of going for a swim so she invited a few others to join her even though she did know that she risked having Lock's body being discovered. Whilst in the locker room though she dropped her note that she got from Lock.
Act 4
When the morning announcement was played the culprit and Olive headed to the changing room and waited for Samurai and I to leave before transporting Lock's body to the garden shed, they used some rope from the storage closet to tie his body upwards and then Olive swapped their shoes around. They hastily made their way to the cafeteria and joined everyone else. After a while Nimbus and I left to look for Lock, Orion and Hammer but when Lock didn't answer the door I went back to get a few others to help me search for him, mistakenly, Olive and the culprit
Act 5
When we split up into two groups and Zoom and I headed to the third floor. Zoom investigated the garden and found Lock's body in the shed which I then found and rushed back to the cafeteria to get everyone up there, but Olive and the culprit were already in the garden, they went into the shed and must have done something like tamper with the body. The culprit panicked and grabbed the shovel, hitting her over the head and killing Zoom. Both Olive and the culprit moved Zoom's body into the shed by Lock's feet and ran back to the second floor to regroup with the rest of us and blend in with the crowd
Olive protected you...Lock is watching over you...but you can't be saved from the truth Tickery Clock!
"Hrrrrrrrrrrng...." Olive groaned "Why...?"
"Well Tickery? Any objections?" Serenade asked. Tickery kept a straight face then a crooked smile appeared on her face
"Objections...? Objections....?" She giggled "OF COURSE I HAVE SOME FUCKING OBJECTIONS!!!" She yelled
"Figures this psycho wouldn't give in so easily" Grimdark sighs
"Shut up!" Tickery yells at him, puching him in the jaw "You assholes have NOTHING on me! Why would Lock leave INSTRUCTIONS for his death?! It was suicide! The note would have been enough for everyone! Why oh why did Locky leave those weeeeeeird instructions...without those, there would be no reason for me to go to the garden....well 'Nade? Got something up your sleeve for that?"

Tickey- LOCKYYYYYYY!
Tickery- You're stupid! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!
Tickery- I wouldn't kill Zoom-zoom!
Tickery- Olive...help me
Tickery- You're all assholes!
Tickery- I didn't go to the garden!
Tickery- You have nothing. NOTHING!Enough!
Tickery- Locky's death was suicide...why would he write instructions for what to do with his body?!
Attitude Sparks!
"Lock had a small condition that we got a taste of, his attitude sparks!"
----------------
"Oh really?" he looks at her dead in the eyes "Tell me something that we got out of them dying!" There was a silence "Exactly, if we don't gain anything out of their deaths then they were meaningless. It's as simple as that"
"You can't be serious man!" Hammer said annoyed
"...hm?" Lock blinked a few times "Serious about what?"
"Don't play dumb after everything you just said!" Beau yelled at him
"W-what?!" he look confused
"You just said all of the deaths were meaningless!" Zoom told him
"Wait...Ack! No, no, no, no, no! You don't understand!"
"What? Don't understand what?!" Zoom said
"I have....attitude sparks sometimes..."
"Attitude sparks?" Olive repeats
"Yeah...sometimes I'll say things I don't mean or I lie about something for no reason...I-if I offended any of you...I am so sorry..."
----------------
"With a condition like that, he would do anything without thinking! That's why those instructions were there...that's the reason Zoom was killed..."
"N...no...NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Tickery cried out
"Upupupupupu! Looks like we come to my favourite moment, it's ballot time! In front of you are sixteen buttons, one for each student. You will cast your votes and majority votes will determine the culprit. Will you be right? Or will you be oh, so wrong!? What's it gonna be? What is it gonna be?!" Monokuma cackled
As the final button was pushed for voting, the huge slot machine appeared with 'Voting Machine' in red on the top. The three dials began to spin quickly for another few seconds before all three stop on Tickery's face causing a red 'GUILTY' sign to flash and two bouquets of flowers to pop out the sides.
------------------
Everyone stood in silence at the result of the ballot unable to believe what they had learned about the deaths of their friends.
"Upupupupu! Wowee! Three in a row, you go! The one that killed Lock was Lock himself and the one who smashed Zoom's skull in with a shovel? That was none other than the crazy daisy herself, Tickery Clock!"
"Goddammit...why does this have to keep happening?!" Punch said, frustrated
"Why Tickery...?" Hammer asked her
"Zoom-zoom...she...she saw us tamper with the body..." She admitted "If she told you guys...it would spoil what Lock put in the instructions...he wanted us to go to class trial...but I panicked...Tickery..." Her eyes watered up "Tickery never meant to hurt anyone! WAAAAAAAAAH!" She fell to her knees, tears flowing "It's my fault! It's my fault! My fault!"
"So...why did Ms Field protect you if it meant losing her life?" Orion asked
"I did it because...I had a feeling Monokuma was going to reveal her secret after the class trial...if everyone died...it wouldn't matter. I was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if it meant saving my friend's life and secret! She'd win her freedom to..." Olive said
"Well...you are correct on that!" Monokuma says "You guys wanna know the little secrets that Zoom and Tickery carried?"
"What about Lock?" Samurai asks
"Oh...those attitude sparks were his, he showed them right before I gave the motive so I didn't have time to change it" Monokuma rubbed the back of his head "Anyway...story time! Tickery was a little girl aged eight, life was great for her until...one night, when she was alone in her house something terrible happened, Tickery's parents got in a car accident and both of them died in the hospital Tickery cried for until night-time but as that sadness was soon replaced by another strong emotion...vengeance. 'It was the hospital that couldn't save my parents! It's all their fault!' That's what she thought...so, she grabbed gasoline and a lighter and you know what she did? She set the hospital on fire! Very few people inside the building lived...and it was all because a little girl that lost her parents..." Monokuma closed a book he randomly produced mid-way in the story, it had no pages, just blank covers.
"Tickery...did that?" Samurai went pale
"I was arrogant...." Tickery said "I blamed the whole building for my parents death and hundreds of people died because of it...and the worse part it...they were only unconscious, their hearts stopped for a while but a miracle happened and the next day...they walked through the house door...I killed so many people for nothing!" Tickery started crying again.
"But...what about Zoom?"
"Oh-ho! Now that's a fun tale! Zoom was also aged eight when this happened, she was going to school one day, starting off like any other day when she stumbled upon these three students that were in the grade above her. These three had been picking on her for a while now and Zoom had enough of it. She decided that she had to get them back for everything they had done to her over the years so she used her photography skills for her plan. She waited for the right moment and took some very special pictures that shouldn't even be mentioned for nine year olds and she blackmailed them! But she didn't stop there, she blackmailed teachers into passing her tests without putting a single answer down! She became invincible until...she was busted, her parents found the pictures and just like that, she was powerless. She had to move school and move town just so her reputation could be used against her..." Monokuma closed the book again.
"Wow...who would have though someone like Zoom would do something like that" Hammer said in disbelief
"She seemed...so pure and kind hearted..." Orion said
"Yeah, well looks can be deceiving toots!" Monokuma says "But now...it's time for the main event!"
"W-wait! S-stop! Don't do this to her!" Olive objects
"Olive...I deserve what happens to me...I'll be joining Locky..."
"How many time have I told you...? I hate that nickname...my name is Olivia! Not Olive!" She yelled at her
"I know...Olivia...take care..." Tickery gives a smile
"No.."
"I've prepared a very special punishment for the Super High School Level Watch Maker, Tickery Clock! So let's get the ball rolling!"
"Tickery...don't do it..."
"Olive...?" Tickery tilts her head
"Don't....DON'T LEAVE ME ALOOOONE!!!"
"O-Olive?!"
"IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!!!"
