Puhuhuhuhu, what's going on, you guys? Long time, no see! But uh... No really, where am I? Last I was aware of, I was sitting around on Studio A, running the Killing Game and keeping my eye on that pesky Director, now I'm here, out in the middle of the woods!



Unless... Someone triggered the dead man's switch on that j-

...Uh, never mind! Puhuhuhu! What's important here, is that I'm back! That's what you get for snooping around the manor. Whichever one of you triggered the failsafe in the statue that woke me back up, I'd thank you, but I'm also programmed to be a total asshole, so I won't!



Speaking of being a total asshole, looks like one of you killed @Mario! He's lying underneath the Christmas Tree, but he's no present, the tree's been snapped at the base, and it's lying right on top of him.

His role was Ultimate Comedian

rolecard: Show

What’s the deal with airline food? Yeah we’ve heard it before, shut up already. But you won’t because no one can silence the Ultimate Comedian. Well, unless you die, then you’d be pretty silent eh? Best make sure that doesn’t happen huh?

As the Ultimate Comedian you are a master of japery, curator of comedy, master of mu- okay yeah you’re funny we get it, give it a rest. You are constantly telling jokes, no matter the situation. Someone just died? New material! Someone accusing you of murder? Turn it into a good punchline! But all of that, that’s not what makes good comedy. You know what’s better? Taking someone else’s stories and making them into your own jokes!

At the start of each investigation, you may select one other staff member and get some sick points on what they did that night. Because a joke’s even funnier if you stole the base of it from someone else. Of course, you aren’t going to get all of their information, just bits and pieces, but hey, better than nothing!

Needless to say though, a professional never gives out his sources of humor. This means that you cannot, under any circumstance, reveal how you gained the other staff member’s information, or else you’ll permanently lose the ability to gain said information, and with it, all worth as a comedian

Forbidden Action: You can tell people your role if you wish, hell, it’ll be hard enough to NOT know what you are straight away, and that’s because you are REQUIRED to only speak in punchlines when you are speaking in the thread. This means when giving accounts or posting in the investigation thread. Write it out like a standup skit, break it up into little jokes, do what you gotta do, but you have to present your information as a comedian would, or you’re out!

The best part is, that Mario guy almost never used his actual role ability! Puhuhuhuhu, he really was a clown! Anyway, now that I've been brought back from the dead, today's incentive to solve is gonna be a little different too! Tomorrow night, the dead will be able to submit actions from beyond the grave. If you vote correctly, they will not be able to harm or KO you in any way.



...And with that, I'll leave you idiots to it!

The Map

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. Speaking of which, the corpse of Crash sits here,having been hurled from the walkway during investigation.


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, and the place is very snowy, with a big dicked snowman standing by a Christmas tree.

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. It has been trashed, and the plants are destroyed.

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.

Christmas Pavilion
A nice little patio, with a decorated christmas tree in the middle. Two snow machines provide the ground with plenty of the stuff, and there's rum, eggnog, and hot chocolate.


Garage
Yep, it's a garage. The car and truck have been taken apart, and their gas tanks have been fillled with sugar. They're unusable, for obvious reasons.


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 the remains of what used to be a human animatronic. 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. 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. Some boring toilet movie 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.

CURRENT PLAYERS
@Shoey
@Alex Jones
@Teddie
@Honoka Kosakatua
@Terezi Pyrope
@MCD
@Kaede Akamatsu
@Gnome
@Shroomguy
@The Other Monokuma

CURRENT NPCS
@Liz [Security Guard]
@Trip [Cameraman]
@Xavier [Director]

The Investigation will end tomorrow, at 3 PM PST.

Wow, this The Only Monokuma thing didn't pan out for very long, huh?

I can't believe Seal and Seal died!

Oh well. At least we've still got Seal.

Investigate the Christmas Pavilion.

Wow, this The Only Monokuma thing didn't pan out for very long, huh?

Puhuhuhu! What can I say? I can't have some two-bit impostor hogging the spotlight!

I can't believe Seal and Seal died!

Oh well. At least we've still got Seal.

Investigate the Christmas Pavilion.

All these different Seals... You guys really make my head spin! Almost makes me miss being inactive...

Anyway, the Christmas Pavillion is a sorry sight. On a table lies the corpse of Crash, sawed in half. A broken bottle of Jack Daniels is a small ways away from the sight. The tree on the other end of the Pavillion has collapsed on top of Mario's corpse, which is lying bloody on the ground. The Wendigo Animatronic lies sprawled out on top of the tree, frozen in a weird position.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good @sealelement

Investigate Mario's body in more detail.

It'd be good to confirm what exactly killed him.

It's yet another night where I get my ass kicked!
It made me miss the best part too. Even if that Mario guy always believed in me, I hate missing a good kill!

Guess the rest of my night's irrelevant, but hey, you can ask those NPC fellows if you want to know more!

Investigate Mario's body in more detail.

It'd be good to confirm what exactly killed him.

Mario has some mild head and body trauma from the tree, and several lacerations all over his body of varying depth from the broken glass that covers him. His flesh is a strange reddish tint, and there's vomit crusted around his mouth, as if he tried to throw up, but couldn't move enough to get it out of his mouth.

This post was last modified: Dec 30, 2018 at 11:57 PM by Honoka Kosakatua.

I wake up in the screening room, a woman on a mission! And that mission is to get on the third floor so I can investigate it! Equipping myself with my shovel, I go back to my room. I've got a form of protest planned against the person who told me STOP LOOKING, so I move Smasher's corpse out of my room and give her Terezi's bed. She's earned a rest. Then I go back and light my room on fire as protest. How's this for stop looking, huh!? FUCK YOU, DAD!

...Ahem. With my room now burning away like a Christmas fire, I kick off my main plan for the night. Going into editing and effects, I teach myself both how to hotwire a car and how to make thermite! Useful knowledge for the future. Heading over to the Sarcophagus Hallway, I see Shroomguy coming upstairs with a whole lotta weed, heading into the kitchen. I take some magnesium tablets and head downstairs to the train set, collecting some rust from the train for iron oxide.

Crossing the studio, I duck into the Christmas Pavilion to check one what's going on. MCD is there in front of Crash, delivering a stirring speech! ...That he ripped right from Bojack Horseman, the hack. Trip is filming him, and where there's a Trip, Terezi is close by. She's singing, while Gnome fulfills his role as the true star of the studio by sitting on top of the tree. I look around, drop off an item, and leave.

Heading into the effects workshop, I get some aluminum powder and throw all three things together into the bucket. With my thermite created, I go drop it off and ask Liz to watch it, while I step out into the woods and try to check something. Unfortunately, the woods are far too confusing for me, and I give up quickly and return to the entrance, inviting Liz to join me on my journey as I pick up thermite. I head to the Train Set while Alex Jones leaves the Effects Workshop, and head upstairs. Someone's taken the sarcophagus lid, and Shroomguy is in the breakroom smelling like brownies. Weed brownies probably. I set up my thermite on top of the east end of the walkway, and ignite it to burn through and collapse the walkway.

Going downstairs, I use my newfound knowledge to hotwire the police car, and drive it over to the guard station, where I see Liz and The Other Monokuma. I pick up Liz, who insults TOM, and drive towards the ramp, up, and launch myself into the central tower of the third floor! Parking the car before I can drive off the side, I see that it's similar to 2F, but much smaller. I get out and head to the west, where I see a cold room with a bunch of doors. Opening one of them, it's Beauregard's corpse. Looks like we found the morgue where executed culprits go.

Returning to the central tower, I see Teddie in a Santa outfit, carrying a bag. He and Liz chat about Mario for a bit, and I head into the east walkway, finding a Metalworking Room for making props. Furnace, bellows, tools, swords, the works! It's also got a door on the other side, but that one has a retina scanner. Maybe someone can toss Hannibal and Urien's corpses up here at some point? They seem like they might work.

That's when Teddie shows up, and explains that the elevator's blocked. Liz pulls out a deck of cards, and we sit down to play a game of poker... and the two of them clean me out I prove that I'm the best poker player in this damn studio.

Here's the map of 3F I made:



Look up Mario's symptoms on Yahoo Answers. Do we find out what caused them?

This post was last modified: Dec 31, 2018 at 12:31 AM by Teddie.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!

...Wait, it's nearly New Year's?! ...this bear sure is having a bad week.

First, I took off that general outfit. I just wasn't really feeling that part, I guess. But, seeing as it's Christmas- or, well, was? I was planning to show up to the pavillion with some gifts, but, well... I'll get to that in a minute!

So, I put on a Santa outfit I made and got my bag ready! From there, I headed over to the kitchen, grabbing stuff as I passed to give to people at the get-together. On the way there I walked past Shroomguy, who went downstairs to the train set.

After I was done in the kitchen, I set off for the animatronic lab, across the grounds of the studio. Didn't get too close to the pavillion, but I did see Trip was there! I hope he's doing okay.


Once I made it to the lab, I tried to make some toys out of the broken animatronics but I couldn't really do anything with the parts available. I did fiddle with the control panel a bit, but I don't know why the wendigo-animatronic ended up at the pavillion later...

Anyway, I decided I wanted to go snooping around upstairs after that motive from the previous night, so I did! As I left the lab, I saw Mario leaving the practical effects area. I started with the fourth floor. Pretty snazzy room - can see all of the studio from up there! There was a fancy desk and computer up there too. While I was up there I did feel some sort of earthquake or something. Really shook me up.

After that, I went downstairs and went to the west, where I found the morgue. And that's about when Honoka and Liz showed up!


Pretty much everything else is as Honoka says, but about the elevator... I tried to call it up again to head back down, as I wanted to make it to the Christmas event, but the lid from the sarcophagus was blocking it! And someone was muttering about pretty colours and doing something mechanical behind it?

Anyway, I went back to Liz and Honoka and explained the deal with the elevator, and we all sat down to play poker for the rest of the night.

---

I'd like to check out the control panel for the Wendigo to see what it was queued to do tonight!

Great. The bear's back.

...I honestly thought he was gone for good, but I guess his presence explains the continued murders. Maybe I can can get one of his executions on tape for a scene...



I have half a mind to fire that Honoka girl, those walkways are expensive, you know. But alas, my real focus is on that fucking OTHER Monokuma more than the real one or the walkway vandal.

He tried to shoot me! First he takes my shit, then he tries to gun me down... Lynch him, I say.

Yeah, but consider how cool driving a police car off a ramp will look on camera!

...You DID get it on camera, right?

He tried to shoot me! First he takes my shit, then he tries to gun me down... Lynch him, I say.

It was just a prank! It was a meme! I don't even make that kind of content anymore! All of this is taken out of context!

Look up Mario's symptoms on Yahoo Answers. Do we find out what caused them?

You find a post by a strange user with an avatar depicting Mario in a plague doctor mask, with some strange ball in his hand. The post states that such a medical condition is common in people who have robbed a KFC past midnight.

The post goes on to explain that to fix it, you'll first need to become a chronic alcoholic, then attempt murder on Yrr. If that fails, you can also cure the symptoms through jumping jacks in the nude.

A much less credible user compares the symptoms of Mario to cyanide poisoning, but he's not the one with the fancy avatar is he?

I'd like to check out the control panel for the Wendigo to see what it was queued to do tonight!

It looks like the Wendigo was queued only to fortnite dance on repeat, and not move at all. He danced so long, he ran out of battery.

HOW D1D 1T F4LL?

It looks like the tree is snapped at the base, as if through being visciously jerked around by someone for a while.

Investigate the brownies in the breakroom.

Cut open Mario's stomach with a big kitchen knife so as to try and find out what he might have eaten.

Investigate the brownies in the breakroom.

Cut open Mario's stomach with a big kitchen knife so as to try and find out what he might have eaten.

The Brownies smell pretty good, but a little weird. You take a tiny bite of one, and realize they're pot brownies. Despite being a little a high, you don't notice any ill effects.

While in the Breakroom, you grab a knife and head down to Mario, cutting his stomach open. It doesn't appear as if he's eaten or drank anything, his only stomach contents being stomach acid. If he was poisoned, it evidently was not through food.

Check Mario's body for injection marks

Look through his teeth for anything out of place

Investigate the Elevator and it's blockage.
