Attack #30 and my final attack, featuring moltenavy's Charon and @blizaki.bsky.social's Lily!

It was later determined that Fata had not committed any crime, as she had no way of knowing that her actions would cause Fuji’s death;
local jurisdiction also ruled that her intent to exorcise a ghost was insufficient grounds for arrest.

Jade Roseingrave would later take a plane ride back to her home of Antarctica, satisfied with the conclusion of the investigation.
Meanwhile, Fuji’s friends at home would hold regular séances to commune with Fuji’s spirit, hoping that they could stay friends.

People tended to Fuji’s grave to pay their respects.
Some called Fuji a noble sacrifice for the greater good, while others wondered whether they had to die at all.

Thus concluded the mystery of Amagumi Fuji’s death.

Attack #29, featuring Lunaeqlipse's Eddison and Elliot and my Fata!

The search for Fata did not take long; she was found confessing her “crimes” to detectives at a local police precinct.
Fata would later share her account with Jade.

Fata had learned about Fen Sawa, the spirit that would haunt people that wasted food, in her occult studies.
She believed that Fen was a nuisance to the world, and formulated a plan to eradicate her once and for all.

She prepared a rotten apple as bait and planned to exorcise her, but worried that she or her parents would be Fen’s next targets.
She then gave the apple to Fuji, who, also knowledgeable about the occult, agreed to lure then exorcise her themself;
this did not go according to plan, however.

Fata surmised that Fen possessed and killed Fuji instead of merely stalking and threatening them,
fearing that letting Fuji live would end with them dispatching her. In the end, Fen was exorcised anyway.

Fata’s confession devolved into sobbing, and she begged to be arrested, claiming that Fuji had died because of her.

Attack #28, featuring nyapurrlitan's Mawaru Mari, @sillydogjoe.bsky.social's José, and takkunaki's Maple!

Fata was not found at her residence,
and her parents did not know where she had gone.
Jade needed to hear Fata’s story, as the moldy apple—
the one that ultimately caused Fuji’s death—
belonged to her.

The detective hired a search team to look for Fata,
hoping to track her down by her scent,
which her parents reported to smell of
“a mix of patchouli and lavender.”

Jade seemed sure that this investigation
would finally come to a close soon.

Attack #27, featuring Dopli0's Boo-Berry and my Centi!

The séance was about to begin.
Centi prepared the summoning circle, the candles, and the spellbook to summon Fuji’s ghost.
Jade would merely observe.

Centi uttered an incantation in a language that Jade did not understand, and soon,
a mist filled the room in which Centi held the séance.

Centi was still something of a novice at mediumship, and seemed to have made a mistake;
instead of Fuji, the ghost of a sailor named Boo-Berry appeared.
Jade decided that this would suffice, and asked the ghost some questions in the hopes that
Fuji had explained something of importance to him.

“That moldy apple, huh? The one that ‘killed’ them?” Boo-Berry said.
“They say it belonged to one of their friends… Fata, I think her name was.”

Attack #26, featuring SpiralDelusion's Okamoto, and my Centi and Jade!

Jade consulted with one of Fuji’s friends, Centi,
who suggested communing with Fuji’s spirit again to resume the investigation.
Centi, with his knowledge of the occult, specifically elected to perform a séance
to summon Fuji’s ghost and learn the truth behind the apple that ultimately caused their death.

Jade had her doubts about Centi’s suggestion, but,
remembering the supernatural circumstances behind Fuji’s death, she acquiesced.
The two of them borrowed a book from a nearby library, and made preparations for the séance.

Attack #25, featuring @julzpng.bsky.social's Bonnie!

Jade returned to Resort Artfight
to search for the moldy apple—
the one that, through a complicated series of events,
ultimately resulted in Fuji’s death.
She found the existence of the apple odd,
believing that Fuji was not the type of person to waste food;
Fuji’s friends, whom she consulted with, said the same.

Jade’s search ended in failure,
as resort staff had disposed of the apple
after the investigation,
and looking for it would entail fishing
through dumpster after dumpster,
which Jade preferred not to do.
She had no choice but
to resume her investigation elsewhere.

Attack #24, featuring breadontoastttt's Serene!

The long and arduous journey
to bring Fuji’s killer to justice was over.

A private dinner was held
among Resort Artfight staff and
the investigation taskforce
to celebrate a job well done.
The dining party was treated with all sorts of food,
and the private room that they had reserved
was filled with revelry and alcohol.
The dinner would go on for hours.

Everyone was in high spirits, except for Jade.
To her, there were still loose ends to tie up.

Namako (Team Mystery 🔎)@purplenamako· 29d

Attack #23, featuring COLIQO's Rinshou and my Fen!

“Exorcise her!” the jury demanded.

Court officials had hired a ghost hunter, Rinshou Kikyou, to subdue Fen as a contingency plan.
Indeed, there was no better way to punish a ghost than to exorcise them.
Fen seemed scared for her afterlife, and there was no running
from an efficient ghost hunter like Rinshou.

“No, you don’t understand!” Fen objected. “It was self-defense, I swear! Fuji was going to—”

Before she could finish, Fen was obliterated by a single strike of Rinshou’s knife,
and Fuji was avenged.

Attack #22, featuring @darkcoolyo.bsky.social's The Emerald Judge, ButNobodyCame627's Rose Lenesses, and my Fen!

Although the defendant was a ghost, the trial for the murder of Amagumi Fuji would be held like any other murder trial.
The Emerald Judge oversaw proceedings, and Prosecutor Rose Lenesses took to the bench against Fen.

During the trial, Fen admitted that she had indeed possessed Fuji, suffocated them to death,
and moved their body to the beach (her ability to float explaining why no footprints or drag marks were found at the scene),
without much pressure from the prosecution. In fact, she seemed confident throughout the proceedings.

“Now you know the truth. But what are you gonna do about it? I’m a ghost, remember? You can’t arrest me.
I’ll just break free. And I’m already dead! The death penalty isn’t an option, either.”

Although the prosecution was unsure how to proceed, the jury had an idea.

Namako (Team Mystery 🔎)@purplenamako· Jul 11

Attack #21: The Jury of Revenge! Too many people to tag this time, haha!

After Fen was captured, a trial for the murder of Amagumi Fuji would be held.

To that end, twelve people were assigned to be the jury.
These twelve were purportedly chosen at random,
although court officials joked that they were chosen “for the sake of revenge.”
Juror #9, Min Becker, expressed a particular interest in the paranormal nature of the trial.

In any case, court proceedings would follow.
A prosecutor was already selected for the trial, while Fen chose to represent herself.
The trial would reveal the truth behind Fuji’s death.

Attack #20, featuring @zankowog.bsky.social's Alba and my Fen!

The investigation taskforce had little recourse but to place a bounty on the fugitive ghost.
This caught the attention of a bounty hunter, Alba Sucrose,
who resolved to track down the elusive culprit behind Fuji’s death, Fen Sawa.

Fen would be easy to lure:
Alba knew that she despised wasted food and would pursue anyone who disposed of it.
Thus, Alba arranged a plate of leftovers as a trap, and staked out the location for about half an hour.

When Fen finally got close to Alba’s trap, the bounty hunter struck.
In a flash, Fen was caught. Alba would be compensated handsomely for her efforts.

Attack #19, featuring Radonine's Jet C. D. Lynn and my Fen!

All of the clues led to one possible culprit for murdering Fuji: a vengeful spirit, Fen Sawa.

The evidence pointed directly to Fen: she was capable of creating ectoplasm,
whose color, smell, and composition matched that of the substance found in Fuji’s body.
Fen’s nature as a ghost additionally meant that she could not be seen on camera, so she was free to do as she pleased with Fuji,
regardless of any security cameras present.

Lastly, Fen had a motive contingent on evidence that most people overlooked: the moldy apple in Fuji’s trash can.
Fen was a spirit known for her intolerance for wasted food, and seeing Fuji do so was likely her last straw.

Fen refused to admit anything, and fled from the detectives charged with arresting her.

Namako (Team Mystery 🔎)@purplenamako· Jul 8

Attack #18, featuring @sheepheavenlyy.bsky.social's Detective Padilla!

Chemical analysis of the substance
found in Fuji’s body concluded.
According to researchers,
the substance was “not of this plane.”
It was determined to be
some sort of ectoplasm.

Suddenly, everything fell into place.

Fuji had died by
suffocating on the ectoplasm,
a fact that their soul
seemed not to remember,
and a person of interest, Cafeko,
suggested that Fuji
had been possessed before their death.

The taskforce concluded that
the culprit was a ghost.

Namako (Team Mystery 🔎)@purplenamako· Jul 8

Attack #17, featuring 0sighx's Lime and my Jade!

Jade put her investigation on hold after interrogating other potential persons of interest,who had little of relevance to say regarding Fuji’s death.
The detective visited a nearby bar to gather her thoughts.

“The cause of death… The camera footage… The timeframe… Possession… How does it all connect?

“I have an idea, but I should wait for that analysis…”

Attack #15, featuring fizzelpons's Gimmick, salzinho's Folia, and my Jade!

Jade finally arrived at Resort Artfight the next morning, and, true to her worries,
the investigation into Fuji’s death remained unsolved.
She requested to join the investigation taskforce, and was inducted with little pushback.

Jade decided to pursue two unlikely persons of interest to assist her in her investigation:
a stage magician, Gimmick, and a witch, Folia.
Jade believed that a stage magician’s out-of-the-box thinking could help
explore avenues previously unexplored,
while a witch could identify whether magic or supernatural forces were involved in Fuji’s death.

Although their discussion ended with more questions than answers, Folia made a suggestion:

“Maybe you could ask someone who can talk to the dead?”
