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?

[ The voice and demeanor are entirely different, but that name and that face--Mion can think of only one person and nothing else. She has to be absolutely sure. ]

Rika?

[What a strange way to introduce yourself. Zinc spends a good deal of time observing the vine during the day, but this one catches her attention.]

Hello, Erika. The Garden isn't troubling you?

[Her speech is deliberate and a little slow.]

[repeatinred]

... You again. Didn't you get enough of this fragment the last time you were here?

[ ... She doesn't remember, either--

... So, this means that she'll have to surprise Erika with her gender again--if she's from the same fragment as the last time. ]

A great detective? Like Sherlock Holmes?

[persical]

A game board...? This isn't a game, not exactly.

[This was not the time to demand this girl talk about herself. Not with what her maid did earlier in the day.]

Why should I?

Will you talk about yourself, too? I've never heard of a detective.

That's fine with me. Where would you like me to begin?
