first truth [video]

*Upon arriving in the Gardens, the usual sight is a dismayed girl in a state of shock, panic, or anger. Or all three. But Erika? Nope. She's sitting in front of the vine in an elaborate looking chair with a teacup in one hand and saucer in the other. Erika takes a sip of tea before speaking to the vine, which she had already closely examined and figured out beforehand.*

Good afternoon, everyone. You haven't had the pleasure of meeting me yet, so I decided that needed to change. I am Erika Furudo, first class detective. A pleasure, I'm sure. Since I already understand the basic premise of this game board, I only have one tiny favor to ask of you, the viewer.

Why don't you tell me about yourself?

[onlytruth]

Does that mean you think of yourself as an intellectual?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm certainly not an idiot.

[onlytruth]

It was a question! I meant nothing more than that.

[ritsu_kouyou]

One I choose not to answer, Furudo.

[onlytruth]

I wonder why?

Well surely in the presence of a true intellectual as myself, you understand why I ask. It would be rather dull if I constantly have to talk slowly to make sure everyone understands me.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm not in the mood to play word games with anyone, much less someone who just arrived that knows little to nothing about this place.

And there are more than enough idiots here. You may as well resign yourself to having to talk slowly to them. And use small words.

[onlytruth]

Oh really? Do you think I know nothing about where I am?

Tsk tsk, you should expect more of the detective of this story.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Are you deaf? I said 'little to nothing'. Everyone is given some information by those damned felines.

[onlytruth]

That was just the start of my information gathering. Really, you're being rather insulting right now.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And you're being rather sensitive for someone so arrogant.

Should not an 'intellectual' such as yourself be able to admit your shortcomings instead of trying to turn the conversation around from having your own lack of information pointed out to you into my supposed mannerisms? Or do you not like being reminded how you're as blind as a newborn kitten right now?

[onlytruth]

There are no shortcomings to admit because I am not as blind as you think I am. In fact, I've only bothered to ask one question to everyone out there watching. Why would I do that if I knew absolutely nothing about the Gardens?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Even a newborn kitten can hear and smell.
