"Well. I can safely say this has been the best fucking night yet, entirely because the Utilities are untouched. Good work."

"And Angie thinks this is gonna be a good case!"

"See, that part I don't like, but I'm used to. You'd force someone to turn up dead, wouldn't you?"

"You know Angie so well! She really picked the right person to be friends with."

"Your definition of friendship is as insane as the rest of you."

A body has been discovered! @"The Nemechef" has been found dead in the Offices!

He was the ULTIMATE FOOD VENDOR

Spoiler: Show

You are the Ultimate Food Vendor, street chef extraordinaire. Sure, it might not be the most glamourous of chef lifestyles, but it's an important one - where would the world be without hot dog carts or market stalls? You're used to cooking things that anyone will take, so your food is uniquely tamper-proof. No poison can end up in the stuff you make! Additionally, your skills at just constantly going, no matter the weather, means no roles with influence over others can work on you. You play by nobody's game!

Forbidden Action: You're very picky about hygiene. Anything you use in cooking (except for serving dishes) needs to be nice and clean by the end of the night!

"Nyahahaha! Looks like the Nemesis Experiment only worked once!"

"Well, let's get this bloody show on the road. I'm feeling nice, so if you find the killer, I'll cook something for each person who correctly voted, at their request."

"Angie wants in!"

"No."

Screening: With multiple large TVs and plenty of equipment, this is the perfect room for testing how any completed project looks before sending it out.

Security Room: This room contains several camera feeds, and a couple heavy weapons locked down. The key to unlock the heavy weapons appears to be missing.

> -There's a large amount of footage on the Recording Booth camera
lets roll it

You see the following things:
-Lita activating the Recording camera. It points at the south. The west and east exits are not visible onscreen. She leaves offscreen.
-Hannibal walking in and going offscreen.
-Lasagna Cat walking in and going offscreen.
-Gregg arriving from the south and giving a long blog to the camera. He's better equipped to describe it than I am. He then leaves to the south.
-Hurderer walking in and going offscreen.
-Kaga walking in and going offscreen, while wearing a large cup noodle costume.

The camera turns off after that.

Let's go ahead and get a good look at Nemechef's body, and the surrounding offices.

You look at Nemechef's body. He's severely burned, though interestingly, when you roll him over, the part of his body that was flush to the floor is not burnt. As mentioned, he has no other injuries. There's a charred, unrecognizable lump next to him.

You look around the offices. It's mostly desks, cubicles, and filing cabinets. You see an odd object next to Nemechef and pick it up.

It's a complete set of human skin.

I will wear the skin!

...Ignoring that last bit for a moment and checking the pool at the duck's request.

>angie kills solus right in front of me with a shovel, before she kills me too through my shield parry. holy fuck.

>i don't know if schao remembered to make me shit myself as i died.

I will wear the skin!

You, uh, wear the skin.

You now have an impressive impersonation of Sheamus Finweather going.

Please take it off.

...Ignoring that last bit for a moment and checking the pool at the duck's request.

You investigate the pool. Nemechef's food cart is sitting there next to it.

The pool itself is full of slightly adjusted water, with a bunch of fish, lobsters, and squids in it.

Well, what can I say? I spent all night with my loyal companion Draku and saw exactly what he saw, with the exception of a rather suspicious map that seemed to imply there was more to the basement than we realize. Being knocked over the head and taped to a wall was admittedly not part of the plan, but I already hate Angie Yonaga, so I can't say that it was a significantly life changing experience.

Isn't friendship simply wonderful? I'm sure he would agree. To think, I had brushed such notions off as pointless and futile in the past. Truly foolish of me, I'll admit!

Now then, does the body smell of any accelerant? Propane again? Kerosene? Alcohol?

Now then, does the body smell of any accelerant? Propane again? Kerosene? Alcohol?

You take a deeeeep sniff.

It smells a lot like cooking oil.

I pick up the lump by Nemechef. Does it have a noticable texture? Is it heavy?

I pick up the lump by Nemechef. Does it have a noticable texture? Is it heavy?

You pick it up. It's pretty lightweight, and about the size of your hand.

There's no texture that's recognizable, though, beyond "burnt".

"I will take the skin off and then investigate the Gym for a source of buzzing noises!"

"I will take the skin off and then investigate the Gym for a source of buzzing noises!"

Thank you.

Skin returned, you search through the Gym.

You find, hidden behind some of the exercise equipment, a beehive, full of hundreds of bees. A walkie-talkie is next to it.

"I will kindly ask the bees to leave through the walkie talkie!"

Does the victim have any wounds that would indicate he was knocked out?

Going to check utilities and the area around it for a moment, just to see if the goose did anything special after I saw him...

"I will kindly ask the bees to leave through the walkie talkie!"

They buzz in a way that sounds oddly like "fuck off."

Does the victim have any wounds that would indicate he was knocked out?

There are no other wounds on Nemechef's corpse.

Going to check utilities and the area around it for a moment, just to see if the goose did anything special after I saw him...

You look at Utilities. There are a few crumbs lying on the floor, and a fire burning away in the wastepaper basket in the Wine Cellar, as well as a crude knife mold in the Freezer. Beyond that and the mutilation of Komaeda's body, nothing seems very out of place.

Until I get my thoughts together regarding useful investigation of the body/area around it, if the camera I took from Lasagna Cat is still in the 2nd floor south hallway, share anythingit captured.

Might as well put down a note to play this welcome video I found, too, but since it's lore-related, it's no problem if it gets saved for after the phase ends or whenever works best.
