Case File 0: Colorful Times Square

**Colorful Times Square** is the first case in Color Pieceout. It introduces Lily Bell, her backstory, the misterious men in white and the mechanics of the game, acting as a tutorial.

## Plot

### Prologue

Lily abandons her home and takes a train to New York after losing track of her father.

### Suspect in Green

In Times Square, Lily is excited to be in New York and decided to find her father. She plans to head for the Poirrot Detective Agency. Meanwhile, David acuses Greeper of writing "MOVF!" in his truck because a witness claims the culprit was wearing green. Lily becomes a suspect because she is wearing green too. From the shadows, two men in white spy on her. Lily asks to speak with the witness, Bluest.

### Bluest, the Witness

Lily asks Bluest about his testimony. He says he saw a *man* paint the graffiti and chased him when he ran away, then alerted the owner. Greeper, on the other hand, claims that he was doing his show somewhere else. Lily, now clear of suspicions, offers to help by saying her gramps was a detective.

### The Other Witness

There's another witness, Mrs. Flores. She claims she only saw the culprit *from behind* as he fled, and he was wearing green. She then told David the direction in which the criminal had run off. David ran pretty far until catching up with Greeper, but Mrs. Flores says she thought he caught up quite quickly. Lily gets caught in her own thoughts, thinking how David and Mrs. Flores could have seen the same thing in different ways.

### The Truck Owners' Doubts

Lily asks David about when he chased the culprit. He says he heard *someone shout* about the graffiti. After that, Mrs. Flores described the cukprit and which way they went. He ran that way and *met Bluest*, who was already chasing the culprit. Bluest told him it was Greeper who had done it, ashe had seen him. However, the green wearing pierrot was even further from the truck, performing in the street, and there's no way he could have gotten that far so quickly.

### The Crying Child

While Lily is wondering about the meaning of the graffiti, she spots a crying child, who explains someone bumped into him causing his puffle to hit the truck and fall to the floor. He claims the guy who did it was *wearing blue* and dropped a can of red spray paint.

### The Truck Graffiti

Lily notices some cream of the puffle is covering part of one of the letters, and deduces the identity of the culprit.

### Lily's Deduction

After everyone is gathered by David, Lily acuses Bluest. She asks him what was written in the truck, and he answers "MOVE!", which he wouldn't be able to know if he had saw the culprit from behind as he claimed. He protest that there's someone else who claims the culprit was wearing green.

### The Mystery yet to be Solved

Seeing how things don't really add up, Lily decides to talk to Mrs. Flores once more.

### The Green Mrs. Flowers Saw

Mrs. Flores repeats the the culprit was wearing green, but comments that there are *two men* wearing green. Lily then asks David, who says the kid with the puffle went before someone shouted about the graffiti. Lily has solved the case!

### Mystery Solved!

Lily acuses Bluest once more, explaining that Mrs. Flores got the color of the clothes wrong because she is wearing tinted sunglasses. Also, if Bluest is the culprit, the distance to the crime scene doesn't really matter.

### Bluest Was the Culprit

Bluest admits to his crime, which he commited out of jealousy to Greeper; he wanted to frame him and make his shows less successful. David decides to let it slide if he cleans the truck, and Greeper offers to help. David thanks Lily, and gifts her a puffle.

In the shadows, the men in white comment on Lily's resemblance to someone and decide to move. One of them entrusts the other to watch the girl.

### Epilogue

One of the men in white, the one whose face isn't shown, watches Lily get her puffle from the inside of a tinted-widow car.

Meanwhile, Alan Poirrot watches the News about Phantom X in the agency's TV. He then folds a letter.

In a plane, Carlos Simmons unfolds a letter and discovers a tarot card, "Death", inside the envelope. Later, in New York, he unknowingly crosses pathes with Lily while getting a puffle. Carlos and Lily both walk to the agency, passing a 'WANTED' sign for Phantom X, and meet at the entrance. Carlos walks in, leaving Lily outside checking her phone.
