Hey dudes! Trip here, and before we start, I'd like to give a special PSA. I'm not gonna point any fingers, but you all know who I'm talking about when I say that you should stop it with the drugs. Did you know that one in five people who do drugs ends up addicted, ruining their family lives, and smashing eggs against a pan or something for sponsored daytime TV ads? I'm not great with metaphor, or statistics, 'cuz I made that one up, but stay cool!

Now that we've got that outta the way, let's get right into the radical stuff you all did, because knowing you guys, I'm sure everyone got up to some crazy stu-



Wait, @Crash Bandicoot is dead? Looks like someone stuck scissors in the back of his skull and left him for dead outside the Crime Scene Set. Man, that's gnarly, I thought for sure he'd have an enduring video game franchise. Then again, guess I thought the same thing about Bubsy, right?



...Heh... Yeah... Bubsy...

Looks like Crash's role was the Ultimate Plagiarist

rolecard: Show

What is original thought, anyway? You sure as hell don’t know, and neither does anyone writing these roles, because you’re the Ultimate Plagiarist. Look, we’re hiring you on anyway, because you’ll probably just be lynched immediately like always, but bear with us, okay?

Growing up, you were always too lazy to develop any actual skills or talents, so instead you’ve decided to just copy everyone else and call it a day. Somehow you haven’t been called out yet, but hey, that’s showbiz. No one in Hollywood does anything original, that’s how it goes. But anyway, let’s cut to the chase:

You don’t have any inherent powers of your own, but you can go right ahead and comb through past games for a bit. If you see a role you like, just copypaste it, send it to a host, and boom, we’re in business, baby! You’ll inherit all the powers of that role, along with all the downsides, and that’ll be that.

Forbidden Action: You got this far faking it, so you’d better not risk slipping up and exposing yourself as a hack fraud. To keep it simple: Don’t roleclaim. Ever. Got it?

His chosen role as the Ultimate Plagiarist was Ultimate Liar, with the following traits and abilities:
+If a case is solved incorrectly, you will be invincible the next night.

Anyway dudes, let's get to the bottom of this one! If you all can solve it, I'll give you the brand new, refreshing taste of Crystal Pepsi for life! Wait, no that's lame. Uh... Oh yeah, I've got a better one! What about uh... your chances of death being cut in half next night if you vote correctly? I dunno how I can follow up on that promise, but everyone else just seems to shout out some random prize and it ends up working, so I can do it too!

Room Descriptions: Show

Crime Scene Set
Next to a replica police car, a grisly scene is surrounded in a barrier of police tape. A realistic mannequin lies in a dried pool of fake blood, the knife sticking out of its chest now missing. Probably doesn't have the shocking effect it normally would, considering like 18 people have died already.

Train Set
A set decorated like an old west desert. Aside from the usual cameras and such, three train cars sit in the middle of it, each accessible from the front and back, minus the Engine Car, which you can only enter from behind. The Engine Car contains a currently nonfunctional coal furnace, as well as a shovel and pile of coal. The Dining Car contains tables and cutlery, as well as one of those fun little food carts. The Passenger Car is filled with seats, but also has a couple suitcases. The train has been smashed through the wall of the set, creating a hole in the side of the Old Manor

Greenhouse
A humid room for the purpose of growing plants. It has a peaceful air about it, and contains hundreds of plant specimens, although if a variety is missing, you can always grow your own within one day. Contains some poisonous plants as well.

Guard Station
A small booth with a desk and an office chair. A small hole in the surrounding plexiglass barrier allows for communication with the guard inside. Currently there's no guard inside though, so good luck with that.

Central Tower
A fancy building, with an elevator in the middle. A set of stairs lead down to the Hydroelectric Tunnel, and the place is decorated with potted plants and a couch. A box of glasses is lying on the couch.

Elevator
It's an elevator. Similar to Studio A's Executive Building, only the buttons labeled 1F and 2F work, but there are also buttons that indicate the presence of a "3F", "4F", and "B1F". 3F and 4F seem to require a keycard to access, but B1F has a physical keyhole next to the button.

Racing Strip
A small stretch of road, with a start and finish line. Two cameras are pointed in its general direction. Who needs to actually put effort into filming a race, when you can just film both the starting line and the finish line in a couple seconds on the same couple meters of asphalt? Amoeba's corpse is here, brains blasted out, alongside a large, old keg of beer and a half eaten wedding cake.

Garage
Yep, it's a garage. Many tools are scattered around, evidently for automotive work. A racing car sits inside, keys still in the ignition, next to a truck with the studio's branding, in the same situation. Their gas tanks appear to be full, as well. A tarp is draped over the truck.

Animatronic Lab
A very high-tech building filled with robot parts and tools, similar to the Garage. There is an animatronic Wendigo, very similar to the one in Studio A, as well as what looks to be a semi-realistic animatronic that looks like a man. A control panel on the wall appears to be able to, well, control them. The individual robot parts don't seem to be too useful, but maybe someone skilled can assemble them? They appear to respond to the control panel as well.

Cold Storage
A very cold room, filled with some perishable goods for staff parties, some substances for special effects that need to remain cold, as well as some blocks of ice and a snow machine, which appears to shred the ice into a fine powder and blow it out. The snow machine has wheels, and can be moved around, even out of the room. An empty bottle of paint thinner is here, along with a bloody towel.

Practical Effects Workshop
A room with many desks, mirrors, and makeup, including putty, a functioning 3D printer on the lower right desk, and other things needed to create prosthetics, puppets, and other practical effects, as well as just the obvious hair and makeup stuff.

Room descriptions: Show

Bedroom Halls
They're halls with bedrooms, what do you want from me, here? There's also a water cooler at the end of both halls though, complete with those little paper cones.

Awards Room
A room lined with two trophy cases, displaying a decent amount of filmmaking awards, as well as a couple other trophies, some of which look like props themselves. The cases are made of a thick, heavy wood, and would likely obliterate someone if they fell on top of them.

Screening Room
A massive screen adorns the furthest wall, and a projector sits in the center of the room, a large reel of film hooked into it. A laptop connected to it as well appears to play digital video files too, just in case. There's not much in the way of seating though, unless you're one of those weirdos who sits on the floor. Horsin' Around is looping on the screen.

Walkways
Two walkways with worryingly thin glass walls. The floor appears nice and sturdy, but clearly these were designed with appearance in mind rather than safety. Still, if you take a bit to look outside, you can see most of the studio from here. The right side walkway has the glass walls completely smashed.

Editing and Effects
Four desks sit in the corners of this room, each with a super fancy PC, outfitted with the computer software needed to edit video, audio, add special effects, or even do some 3D modeling. None of them appear to be password locked, so go nuts. One of the computers is missing though.

Patios
Two open-air patios border Editing and Effects, likely for the staff working in Editing and Effects to get some fresh air in between working on their current projects. They're pretty high up though, so you might not want to stand too close to the edge. It might not kill you, but say goodbye to your legs, kiddo.

Sarcophagus Hall
An otherwise empty hall, but with a large, ornate Egyptian sarcophagus in the middle of it, awkwardly. The lid is astoundingly heavy, in fact, the whole thing is, which is probably why someone didn't want to carry it down the stairs. Someone has removed the lid, to reveal a mummy prop.

Breakroom and Luxury Bathroom
A nice little breakroom, with a small kitchen, fridge, and stereo to listen to music while you take your break. Right next to it is the Luxury Bathroom, which contains a beautiful marble bathtub, sink, and many fancy soaps. Dante's corpse is hunched over the toilet, bleeding gashes in his back.

Woah! Crash died?!? That's, like, totally uncool, dude!


I-I mean, that's terrible! I don't know why I said that. What's Crystal Pepsi, by the way?

CRYSTAL BEPIS

Hey, who's the funny man that turned off the power? I want names!

...I'll talk about my night later. Bar a certain incident with a plumber, everything was fine, until...



Let's just say our friend TOM is off my shit list for a while. One of you is up to to some real bullshit, I'll say that much.

Curses, I worked hard to get on that list.

That's a shame. His suit seemed pretty well made-


-for a terrible excuse for a mascot! Anyway, I suppose you want to know what I did tonight, eh?

First up, I decided to mix up a special defensive concoction! Prepared correctly, when sprayed in the eyes of an assailant, it will cause their eyes to sting and recoil in pain! Pepper spray, in other words.


It just so happened that I was given the perfect opportunity to test my concoction, as that complete waste of space other bear showed up and came at me!


It was definitely self defense. Don't bear-lieve his lies. Oh, and that Coffee guy showed up playing the accordian like some sort of knock-off Yankovic.

After that messy business was over, I grabbed myself a Bear Beer from the fridge, and decided to have a bit of a sniff around in the awards room. Didn't notice anything particularly interesting, other than a Worst Actor reward for a "Kokichi", whoever that is.


Coffee went walking past again around about then, just as the power went out! Coffee didn't seem too surprised by it, to be honest with you.


I decided to go pay our resident security guard a friendly visit, and headed over to the guard's station. On the way I saw Shoey hustlin' over to the garage with something, and Crash lying near the crime scene set. No idea if he was dead or not.

Oh, and that damn clown running around the set, chasing another clown who was acting like some sort of looney toon.

I started having a chat with Liz about them. She seemed like she needed the beer more than I did, so I let her have it.

After that, I decided to head back to bed-


-but on the way, I was ambushed by that damn clown! He kicked me about a lot, but I managed to get out my pepper spray in time, and make good my escape!


Oh, and someone had left a cactus outside my room? It's only been a week since I started acting, and I'm already getting fans!

Anyway, now that's out of the way;

Hey! Cameraman! I've got a few questions!

* How many of my glasses are still in that box in the central tower?
* I'd like to take a close look at the crime scene in the...uh... crime scene. See if there's any other marks on Crash's body, or any signs of a struggle in the surrounding area!
* On top of that, I'd like to see which way Crash was facing.
* What happened in the animatronics room?

Is there a plant in my room?

Wake up, ready to face the night with my new loving husband! ...Except he's not here. Shoey, why? Shoey, why would you leave me? Oh well. Kaede shows up, holding a bundle of flowers and looking for me. I decide she'll do, and we'll adventure together instead of me and Shoey! First, I equip myself properly with a ten-gallon hat from the train set, before taking Kaede by the hand and leading her into the old manor. Let's go exploring!

There... I see a long, dark hallway. Bizarre. To the left is a room that's just chock full of guns and hunting trophies, and when I go through that to the other side... it's a wreck. Someone didn't clean up at all! The entire room is full of rubble and wreckage, and it's impossible to get through it at all. We head back and go down the end of the hallway, which... is also a dead end, in that there's a staircase we can't go up thanks to it being broken. Turning around, we see a painting of a white-haired woman on one side, and across from it is a door to a kitchen!

A kitchen that is burnt out and has a corpse in it. If I hadn't seen many brutal deaths in both Studio A and Studio X, and heard the reports from Studio B, this would actually bother me. We leave into a dining room, and from there into a courtyard, seeing a whole bunch of graves... and a strange statue. This statue is of a girl looking at something in her hand, but whatever it is, it's missing. The statue's called "The Lost", and we see a door leading into a library. Kaede goes off to check it out!

Then the weird shit happens. There's a yell from elsewhere in the courtyard, and someone in a lizard mask and a coat starts charging towards me. They've got a gun, too, and I've only got a shovel, so I decide it's time to Leave. Running back towards the kitchen, I cut through there and into the dining room, and meet everyone's old pal the wendigo. Since he wrecked my shovel last time, I decide not to risk it and try to run, and before I can? He bashes me in the head with the Meme Wheel and knocks me flat.

When I recover, my head is ringing. I decide to skedaddle, grabbing my gear and running out to the train set. It's snowing! And the snow machine is there, and there's also a snowman that... looks uncomfortably correct. It has a cactus for a head and a christmas tree. I grab the snow machine and wheel it on out of there, passing by a dead bandicoot in the Crime Scene set. I like the way they chose to expand it!

I see Liz in the Guard Station as I go, and she does NOT look happy. Regardless, I drop the snow machine off on the racing strip and turn it on, and eventually build a snowman. His name is Fred, and he is the new master of the racing strip. Please be nice to him. Once I've made Fred, I check the central tower for an idea of mine, but someone beat me to wrecking the place, so there goes that.

To finish my night, I head upstairs to the Screening Room and put on the filmography of Hollywood Bowl, watching it along with MCD, Terezi, and Trip. While they fall asleep pretty quickly, I think... it's good! The Atuan influences hurt it, but it's still an impressive piece of work, and I admire his planning skills when it comes to the attempt to take his own life in Atua's name. Now if we could have just convinced him to NOT worship Atua... Oh well. I spend the rest of my night watching my way through his films.

Which way's that body lying down with the scissors? If I can deconfirm some silly slingshot-from-the-walkway theory right now, that'd be great!

Partial map of the Old Manor. The south end of the Hallway is busted open by the engine.

Compare the scissors to the ones in the effects workshop and kitchen.

That map is just about right. That manor was very creepy, but I got pushed to check it out.


I'm not good with creepy stuff, so I couldn't focus much on my surroundings, other than seeing that everything was burned or destroyed. Whatever happened in there must have been tragic.


Anyways, I want to say that whoever murdered Crash must have woken up very early. Mario and I left our rooms and went directly to the Greenhouse. I noticed the body at the Crime Scene, as I went out of it. The fog was already there, which might help with figuring out when the murder occurred.


As for investigating, can we check the Police Car out? Maybe something's hidden inside it.

Anyway, now that's out of the way;

Hey! Cameraman! I've got a few questions!

* How many of my glasses are still in that box in the central tower?
* I'd like to take a close look at the crime scene in the...uh... crime scene. See if there's any other marks on Crash's body, or any signs of a struggle in the surrounding area!
* On top of that, I'd like to see which way Crash was facing.
* What happened in the animatronics room?

It looks like no one has touched your glasses at all, rendering your entire joke pointless.

At the Crime Scene Set, you see Crash, lying face down, scissors just kinda... sticking out of the back. You strip his mascot suit off, and see that the dude's got some bruising on his side. The area doesn't look like there was a struggle, although there are rubber scuffmarks from someone's shoes on the ground, as if they were running.

Is there a plant in my room?

There's a cactus outside your room, just like everyone else's. No plants inside though

Which way's that body lying down with the scissors? If I can deconfirm some silly slingshot-from-the-walkway theory right now, that'd be great!

The body is face down on the ground.

Compare the scissors to the ones in the effects workshop and kitchen.

The scissors do appear to be the same brand as the ones used in Studio X, but you aren't sure which area they are from. They are bigger scissors, used for cutting both meat in the Breakroom, and thick rubber in the Workshop.

As for investigating, can we check the Police Car out? Maybe something's hidden inside it.

You check out the Police Car. Inside, there's not much going on of interest, but in the glovebox, you find a pair of handcuffs, slashproof gloves, and a baton.

It looks like no one has touched your glasses at all, rendering your entire joke pointless.

mario if you ever touch my ass again you're actually dead

SOMEONE KNOCKED ME OUT BEFORE I MADE IT TO THE BATHROOM!!! I REALLY HAD TO GO!!! *laugh track*

Here's what I remember from last night:
- I used my green thumb and tomorrow there will be an amazing plant that'll hopefully give me a powerup so I can be super mario just like the video game Super Mario Bros. from NES
- I killed crash bandicoot. Rest in peace buddy
- I harassed a lot of people and boy are my arms tired
- SHROOMGUY is the cactus man. Talk about a prickly prick
- Yrr's dad is still on the loose, so whoever voted to kill our good friend Amoeba was wrong!!! Talk about endeering.

next time dont hit me so hard and maybe ill remember shit!!!!
