[Day 8 - Investigation] - Crimson Eclipse

Jack of Spades
Doctor, got any way to recover data from Summer's broken e-pass?

I'd like to turn off the incinerator and sift through the ashes, if I can.

Bigfoot
Tonight's objective from the boss: Terminate Hank Hill (If I see him tossing tanks of propane around again).

- I wake up and fashion some robes for myself. I know there are people out trying to kill Bigfoot.
- I then go to Dr. Pierce's office.
- I find her KO'd on the floor. I shake her awake and then we head downstairs together.
- I leave Dr. Pierce behind and head downstairs to B3F where I begin my patrol.
- I do a loop around the room then try to enter the reactor area to investigate. My card fails to open the door and an image of Monokuma appears to laugh at me.
- I turn around to see DK West and the puppet. I pull out my gun and chase them out.
- When I return I do one more sweep of the area. This time around I give the AI control room a check.
- I enter the AI control room to find that all of the lights are red. Fuck.
- I do a quick check of the room and find that the Monokuma USB has been replaced with a black USB. I take it out and the install process doesn't stop, so I just put it back and leave.
- I head back upstairs to B2F and into the research lab. There I find TV Show Host. She takes a gun out and tries to swing it at me. That's not how you use that thing! I take out my bigger gun and that intimidates her into fleeing.
- Then I start heading up to Dr. Pierce's office, but I find her passed out on the stairs. I wake her up and together we go to her office.
- When we reach her office I notice that there is a rope made from t-shirts and caution tape hanging down from the hole in her ceiling.
- I depart and head to bed. Along the way I see Dr. Wexlyn and Rio Ranger escorting Dark Souls II to bed.
- Rio takes the elevator and Wexlyn stays in the hall to watch me return to my room.

After I fall asleep I apparently realize that I now have Shadow Plague.

Hello boy and girls~! It’s me your favorite host to Attempt to Kill Sugar~!

Well well well it seems like everyone wants my account and yet looking around I hardly see anyone else talking about last night so far.... Well other then a few voices chiming in on their missed attempts to brutally kill me… but I guess I should just be flattered to know you all think about me so much~ ♥ Anyways shall we begin the show?
[Image: d67eafd35a584247f93690df02cf77a16ef98165.png]
Since it’s only so fun to be the person everyone wants to kill on sight, I figured for tonight’s episode we could play a game of Dress Up~! Although I’m honestly quite sick of seeing so many costumed people myself, maybe you should try and just be yourselves for once!

BUT regardless, I found some cute bed sheets and a pair of scissors and made myself a cute little ghost outfit so I could hopefully walk the halls without worrying about a ‘kill on sight’ command.

[Image: 08f061c1e15f66e43fd2befa02947562ec8b3fdd.png]

While walking towards the security office to grab myself a little something, I ran into someone in a Gas Mask, Black Coat, and White Wig. They almost knock me over but being quick on my feet I avoid it and they run towards Morgan’s Office.

When I get to the Security office Dr.Hawke is sleeping in the holding cell, and as I find myself a gun a Yellow Crewmate enters with a bunch of Syringes hovering around his head. He shoots the lock off the Holding cell and I leave before I’m his next target. From there I went to the Late Garths room to put on something a little more fashionable… dress up should be fun after all~
[Image: 393e15c9b655568ff5ed4c2a4efb53af27fae64b.png]
While there I see Deathborne and DK West hanging out. DK west looks at me funny to I simply just pistol whip Deathborne into submission as a threat not to try anything funny. From there I decided to face the basement rather then the death squad I assumed waited for me elsewhere.
[Image: 7a9922f4a7f0c86308e246a336c0cad4fbdf7f11.png]
Heading down to the research lab I do some looking around for any key information on how to escape this horrible place. I search for most the night finding some fun information but after awhile some jackass named Bigfoot walks in. I attempt to KO that bastard and show him a relatively bad time with my gun, but he pulls out a bigger gun and out of self preservation I dip out.

[Image: 1fea46e7c957a2aba95b7ddfb45865f278b7cb9b.png]
While heading upstairs I run into Morgan and well… lets say we got a little intimate on the stairway as I passed by. I leave her behind with a little bruise to remember me by and head back to the dorms for the night. As I head in I notice some sort of suspicious filing box sitting upside down just outside the dorms…. but honeslty I figure I probably don’t care and head to bed.

Now before you all ask and say 'Ohhh Sugar you have a gun so sus~!' I haven't fired any bullets from it so it's fresh from the office and should still be fully loaded. If you really want to check you have my permission. I have nothing to hide.

CHECK THE LOUNGE
CHECK THE LOBBY
You check the Patio, and find a few odd things besides Summer's corpse. The stool that was previously missing a leg now had a wooden broom handle screwed in in its place, and Robbydude's corpse is... missing?

The Courtyard now has rope tied to the frayed end of the rope around the tree, which descends into the river. There's not much else out here you can think of to examine, and there's certainly no "big tree blunt" out here or in Outdoor Storage.

The Lounge has a series of t-shirts tied together to make a rope descending into Dr. Pierce's Office, as well as a bunch of caution tape around that same hole. One breadstick is missing from behind the bar.

Finally in the Lobby, the cage from the Cage Match is still set up, and there's some blood on the floor inside. A handgun sits on the floor by the entrance to the Cable Car Station.

Upon testing, Garth Marenghi does appear to have Shadow Plague.

Upon inspection, it seems like the bullet clipped the e-Pass' flash memory drive pretty badly. You doubt it'd be salvageable.

You turn off the Incinerator in Hazardous Materials and sift through the ashes. You find what looks like a hunk of melted plastic and metal, as well as a half-burned lab coat tag in the corner. It looks like a lot of the ashes in here used to be fabric, actually. Whoever fired up the incinerator didn't seem to leave it on super long, so while mostly unrecognizable in color and shape, there's a few recognizable scraps of some fabric still intact around the edges of the interior that is rather stiff, as though it was coated or soaked in something.

You check out the Kids' TV Show Host's gun, ignoring the creepy look she's giving you. It's full, though it has some blood on the handle.

[Image: aSqNlhF.png]

To be completely honest... I wasn't actually planning on committing suicide or anything to begin with. I just thought it'd keep me alive if I made myself seem particularly pathetic, and I was right. I did end up with two bodyguards tonight after all, haha.

Well, part of it was true. I did blame myself for Garth, and I sort of blamed Rio too but after thinking on it, he only did what he did to help everyone. He took out one of the Crimson Eye. I wish Garth didn't go down for his crimes, but killing to protect people... that's one of the few times I'd call it "honorable", I think.

But when it comes to the regular, "dishonorable" variety, well I think someone had that in mind for us tonight.

[Image: qSFdhLo.png]

As sort of... an offshoot of my theory from yesterday, I wanted to go check out the Restricted Records for something, so I brought Rio and Dark Souls II with me for protection. Really I didn't have much of a choice, they kind of forced themselves into my general vicinity. The more the merrier, though. Safety in numbers. They checked everywhere before I entered, it was actually quite nice of them.

[Image: eDofL8u.png]

Safety didn't play much into the equation though, because as soon as we got down there, some kind of gas began spraying from Violent Jimin's remains, knocking Dark Souls II and Rio out cold. I turned around to see this figure in a black coat standing in the doorway. They ran away, and I gave chase. They ran into the Locker Room though, and... I lost them. They just vanished. Maybe hid in a locker or something?

After that though, I just went to go wake the other two up.

[Image: 8i2mGdT.png]

Once I did, we all went our separate ways, though... I did see what looked to be a... Klansman in Dr. Pierce's Office. The Crimson Eye and the Mastermind are one thing, but now the Klan is here? I hope someone was just pulling some kind of weird prank.

Allow us to look at the known history of Shadow Plague.

Many people have already confirmed when they received the Plague, giving us information on its movements. For example, Dark Souls 2 - infected on Night 2. Faust - infected on Night 3. Senpai - infected on Night 6. Additionally, we now have the data about its movements. From that, we can locate various potential infections - for example, Nemesis was infected on Night 7... the same night that he knocked out the infected Senpai. Faust was infected on Night 3, when he was attacked by Violent Jimin - who we can now presume was infected. The infected Robuster was known to be attempting on Wexlyn on Night 5; it would not surprise me if he also did so on Night 4, and thus infected Wexlyn.

All of this leads me to the most important example: Dark Souls 2. Infected on Night 2, she is our closest link to the origin of the infection. She was also known to be struck unconscious by someone - namely, Garth Marenghi. Who we have confirmed was infected with Shadow Plague, but who we also know cannot be Patient Zero due to his death.

Therefore, Garth must have been infected on Night 1. If we look through his account, there are a couple possibilities.

First: He was attacked by Lost In Hogwarts. However, LIH is a demonstrated cyborg, down to having a laser eye that we have seen firsthand. The odds of being a cyborg who also has the secondary nature of Patient Zero feel very low, as both Hawke and Faust are well documented and would not have been able to provide the required surgical upgrades.

Second: He got into a fight with a certain individual. An individual who has never demonstrated their staff power. This fight could have easily been an attempt by one on the other - whether intentional or unintentional, a transfer of the Plague. The same individual who was a target for several others tonight, the night Shadow Plague had a mass-spread. The same person who attacked ME tonight!

I stand by my accusation. Sugar is Patient Zero of the Shadow Plague!

The filing box is still there. After a deep breath you lift it up to find.... nothing.

Whew, that's a relief.

WOWIE!! I haven't seen this much discourse since the Superwholock wars! And through it all, LOST IN HOGWARTS stands tall. A bastion of good faith debate, ONLINE SAFETY and much more. I think it's about time I started enforcing some proper safe-space protocol around here, RIGHT?

[Image: tYAuUpV.png]

CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE! That this Crimson Patient Zero of ours was already covered in a certain essay. BUT! Don't treat that longpost piece of scrap as gospel. I've got a New Testament locked and loaded, ready to switch some claims and take some names. I hope you're ready to have your SOCKS blown off!

[Image: nNRBglH.png]

Although... a moment for the fallen, if you would. With Summer gone and our sweet Sugar on the chopping block, it seems the girlboss is dying out. How many of you icons are going to turn out to be evil, huh?? You don't even KNOW how badly the haters will jump on this to disparage us! Once I get outta here, I've got a mission to rewrite history and do some genderbending in good conscience. You'll see.

[Image: 4Q1mXjD.png]

As for my night, I had only one thing in mind. Joining the ranks of the elusive Crimson Slaiyers, an elite team of wicked witchhunters who would surely benefit from my skillset. So, slaiying I went! I first stopped at the Lounge bar to eat for the first time in a week and steel my nerves with some shots. Then, as one Hank Hill showed up to poison the vibe with his stinky aura, I decided to get on with it.

I locatedthe biggest bosslady in the seven seas, LIZ, in the EQUIPMENT ROOM. She had been knocked out... and by SENPAI, no less! Apparently he showed up, bonked her and took her hat and coat!

[Image: WPtlURs.png]

...Do you KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE THAT WOULD GET YOU IN ONLINE??!? That Devastator looked like a miserable way to KICK THE BUCKET, but trust me. You DON'T want to have my legion of simps PISSING ON YOUR CORPSE!!

...Sorry, thinking back to that act of tomfoolery really set me off. I guess he died as he lived. Disrespecting women.

[Image: 6yRgFZl.png]

...Anyway... I chat to Liz about some Crimson Business before moving on to step two of my plan. After seeing MUNDY (???) head up the Fountain ladder, I go through the Lobby and into the Gift Shop, where I bump into good old WEXY! He's got a plan, but he's missing his troupe of ORBITERS. I wonder what happened to them? After a quick word with him about my plan, I grab some snow globes and proceed to my FINAL SHOWDOWN.

[Image: iL0Vj5s.png]

I approach NEMESIS in his cage and kick him awake! Before I can follow up with my TASER BEAM, he's up and roaring, knocking me away. You're good... but can you see in the dark? I use my SNOW GLOBES to destroy the overhead lighting, plunging the room into darkness! I SHIFT into NIGHT VISION MODE and proceed to beat the SNOT out of him!! Sorry buddy, I guess I'm just BUILT DIFFERENT!

Whilst I'm righting centuries of societal wrongs, I sense someone enter from the Patio, and then... THE MASTERMIND (or at least, someone in really good cosplay!!) shows up out of nowhere! The other person screams and pops two bullets in the 'mastermind', and then runs away to the Cable Car Station! I'm so devastated by this loss of a feminist icon, that NEMESIS gets the jump on me and finishes me off for good!

[Image: 0EOHpmT.png]

I say, it's very, VERY convenient that the Mastermind ended up saving your ass at the last second. Inadvertent or no, it only justifies my work further.

One final word. That thesis... I've got a new one, and I'll be dropping it in a jiffy. Prepare yourselves. And DK WEST... you're toast.

You investigate the Server Room. When you enter the room it's bathed in darkness, as it appears someone turned the lights off. When you flick them on, you see a large pool of semi-fresh blood on the floor, with a trail leading into a nearby vent.

It's not a particularly big room, but is filled with racks of servers. A terminal with a USB slot sits in the center of them.

You investigate the handgun by the Cable Car Station. It's missing two bullets, and appears to have been hastily dropped. There's nothing else super distinctive about it.

Your arm and your eye are both still intact, however they lack any notable strength, and you can't seem to make your eye perform any functions beyond basic sight.

You hop in the vent, though it's rather slick with blood. You shuffle though until eventually you pop out in the stairwell leading up to e-Pass control.

Not the best shortcut, you'll admit.
