GP Reference: Detective Hiyori's Case File
Note: These are his IC notes based on his own experiences and observations, plus information he's gotten from other characters and NPCs. Most of the information is factual, but there are some erroneous assumptions here and there (like his assumption that everyone got the same "You will play a game, you will benefit" message during the Springtime event; he never spoke to any rabbits, so he never learned otherwise). Then there are some baldfaced lies, but those all concern himself and the Enstars cast rather than the game setting. (He repeatedly insists that none of them have voluntarily played Game 52, for example, but he's just saying that to protect their reputations.)
MAGIC!
That was actually something I'd been meaning to do for a while, ever since I learned magic was real. My first exposure was this one person who could levitate a tea set and turn flower petals different colors. But I've heard of a lot of different types of magic at this point. Those types include:
- Illusion magic!
- Shapeshifting!
- Healing <--- this one seems common!
- Growing flowers or trees!
- Fire magic, wind magic, water magic, ice magic, earth magic, et cetera!
- Curses!
- Teleportation!
- Making objects move around! <--- for example, having a broom sweep the floor for you, or making flower petals dance through the air!
- Summoning magic <--- includes summoning a monster who can attack people for you!
- Making heavy objects, like cauldrons, fall from the sky!
- Making things vanish!
- Being able to ride a broomstick!
- Doing something or another with a sword!
And those are just off the top of my head, based on what people have told me recently! "Magic" can be just about anything, it seems. Others told me they could also do magic, but that they didn't want to demonstrate for me because their magic was "dangerous," which I assume means it can be used to destroy people or buildings.
Unfortunately, our captors can also do magic. I first noticed it when three ladies in one of the elevator portraits start to chat with me. And if that hadn't clued me in, those magically appearing tattoos and animal ears would've done the job! With so many powerful people around, you'd think we'd stand a decent chance against them, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The person who levitated that tea set and changed the flowers to different colors told me they'd "found a way to limit his magic." Apparently, there are limiters in place. Another person I spoke to switched from boasting about how powerful he is to saying that our captors are "more adept" at magic than he is, so he can't do anything against them.
No one seems to know what kind of magic is being used, but everyone can agree our captors are using it. One person said there was some sort of enchantment or force field surrounding the place - or well, I asked him if he thought it was something like that, and he said yes. He also theorized that the resort might use a mixture of magic and technology to operate, sort of like a VR system, which was also something I'd wondered about.
Another person thought they'd definitely used magic to kidnap him, since that's the only way they possibly could've taken him. That *would* explain how they were able to bring us here without us noticing. Using magic to teleport us en masses from one location to the other would surely be a lot easier than breaking into our rooms, lugging us out of our beds, shoving us into a trunk, and so on.
Although everyone wants to get out, no one wants to do anything rash, like use fire magic to burn down doors. They all seem nervous because they're not sure who they're dealing with. They just know our captors are powerful and they don't want to incur their wrath, so it's easiest just to play along. In which case you might think the situation is well and truly hopeless.
But!
While dealing with another problem that sprung up, I did find some hope."
