%% * YouCantGoHomeAgain
* YourWorstNightmare: The Chapter 2 motive, with two variations split by clan. Students in Suzaku and Genbu have standard nightmares that force them to relive their worst memories and fears; Seiryuu and Byakko get dreams of how happy their lives could have been if their past regrets never happened, though for some people this knowledge is a nightmare in and of itself.

* AreYouSureYouWantToDoThat: Done out-of-universe by the mods towards the players whenever a character is about to take an action that is likely to result in injury. Sometimes the character actually succeeds without a hitch, but other times it ends in disaster.

* BloodOnTheDebateFloor: This can happen when tensions boil over during or after a trial, or if a suspect decides to fight back anyone trying to do a physical check on them, prominently seen in Chapters 3 and 4. Even without punches being exchanged, numerous death threats also get thrown around, some of them quite graphic. [[TheGadfly Takako]] treats these situations like a soap opera.

* DysfunctionJunction: With twenty-four different characters (not counting [=NPCs=]), it's to be expected that something like this would happen. To what extent depends on the character in question...and the person playing them.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: But who knows how much the students will have to sacrifice to achieve it?

** The Majo Matsuri event in Chapter 3 includes a lot of flower symbolism: The students are given hairpins with flowers representing their respective clan, they send flowers with special meanings amongst each other to send messages, and there's even an [=OOC=] section on the event document asking what flower represents each character individually.
** ...the last of which comes back with a vengeance in Chapter 4, when the motive involves those same flowers blooming and withering on each character's head, symbolizing the memories they've left on other people.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Deceased students persist as ghosts and can rather freely interact with the rest of the cast, even participating in trials and [[spoiler:having access to a special section of the Labyrinth]]. There are some limitations, however: They are intangible to living people and most objects, and even the few items they ''can'' touch are only temporarily tangible. Ghosts who have very recently died also cannot attend a trial and murder victims initially recall little to nothing about their deaths, preserving the integrity of the mystery.

* RedHerring: Par for the course in a murder mystery. There's usually one or two big ones every case.
* SadisticChoice: Kill one of your classmates, or spend the rest of your life in captivity — and when it comes down to the trial, fess up and receive a gruesome punishment, or escape with the blood of everyone else on your hands.
