Skill 10

Detective proclamation. Form of a slice of bread.

This is an extremely meta Umineko skill and therefore requires a somewhat complicated writeup.

( Those words, which seemed to be utterly ridiculous at first, were words of power which had come from a world on a much higher plane than the one they were in. )

...Functionally I don't expect this skill to be usable pretty much ever. But it could happen.

Sealing Kumasawa and Gohda's rooms in the guesthouse. [EP5] Form of a miniature goblet, with a slightly less miniature glass vial. Fill the goblet and drink. 2/3 drinks remaining.

Natsuhi's why-dunnit. "'I love him'? Who would believe that when spoken with the white text?" [EP5] Form of half a fake diamond. Break it.

( Romance is unnecessary for a detective. I don't think I've ever used the word romance except to explain the motive for murder. )

Notes:
- This is immediately post "victory" but she's not very happy about it.
- "All non-red letters are falsehoods that exist to deceive me!!" this is why you don't have friends Erika

Skill 7

Encyclopedic knowledge of puzzles and trivia. Form of a twig with a small blueberry on it.

( Representative script excerpt )

Erika is naturally good at puzzles to start with, but she also is familiar with a huge catalog of standard puzzles and logical trivia to the point that she doesn't even have to work them out! Practically, this skill gives me permission to google things and assume Erika knows them.

heart game

Heart writeup!

Overall this heart worked out amazingly and people pretty much saw and did everything I wanted them to! Everyone in the heart could probably make a reasonable guess at what everything meant I think. But of course this write up is for details, changes and posterity.

( I love you all even if Erika doesn't )

Questions, comments? Let me know if I missed anything because I probably missed things!

Thank you once more to everyone who played in my heart, it exceeded my every expectation. ♥
