I wake up in the Purple Dorms. Checking myself over, I find that I'm equipped with a shotgun. I head out to the General Store. The EDF deploys.

In the General Store I grab a poncho and toss it on. When I go outside I spot a nest full of flying aggressors. I raise my shotgun and attempt to take them out but McJango and Hifumi are there to stop me. McJango pulls out a gun and shoots down my shotgun barrel, causing it to misfire and blow up in my face. What has the world come to that the cats are siding with the Primers? I leave and head off to the forge.

In the Blacksmith I find North Star crafting a spear. He leaves walks out the south exit, leaving it by the door. I get to work on some spears of my own. While working I hear a loud train whistle. Later on Madame Zalsarona enters and begins working on something. After I complete my metal spikes, I head to the Explosives Storage to up my firepower. I find a rocket launcher and some gunpowder.

I exit to the south and Nico comes up to me with some flyers. No time civilian, I have a giant monster to fight. I push her aside and head down the street to the west between the red and yellow buildings. Roland is by the Locomotive with a fox mask. McJango is by the Livestock Corral. It's not worth getting revenge on him now. The professor told me he'll die to a drone strike tomorrow. I keep walking and pass by corpse swarming with the flying aggressors near the Plot. Unfortunately I no longer have the gear for them.

I take aim at the giant insect and run towards it while shouting "EDF!". I fire seven metal spikes into its body. It screeches as the rods draw lightning down to it from the heavens. I'm glad Zeus is playing Air Raider today. The giant insect is very mad and attacks. I don't have time to move and I'm crushed in an instant.

What's in Elster's inventory?

What's in Elster's inventory?

one gun and one radio.

What kind of gun? Has it been fired?

Also, I take the radio and talk into it. Does anyone respond?

Anything in Elster's stomach or lungs...? N-Not that I really think there would be, but...

Uh... a-also, is there anything else near the Plot itself, or around the Purple Building?

It looks like the gun was fired at some point. You're not sure if it was last night or earlier.

You get no response.

Uh... a-also, is there anything else near the Plot itself, or around the Purple Building?

You open up Elster, and find nothing of note.

You check around the Plot and Purple Building. There's a wagon sitting by the northeast of the building, a small heap of ashes by the due north, and a rope tied between Purple and Blue's roofs.

What's with the pile of ashes...? Is there anything else we can find out by looking at it?

What's with the pile of ashes...? Is there anything else we can find out by looking at it?

You look at the small heap of ashes. It's fully burned. You can't identify anything about what it previously was.

Can we burn one of the empty bee boxes from the train to see if it matches the amount of ash there?

Um... by the way, where does it look like those boxes are from? Before we start burning them all, I mean...

I don't know if they seem handmade o-or not...

Before you start burning: these all look handmade. There are five of them.

I-I'll hold off for now... but is there anywhere we can get materials to make boxes like that now that Carpentry is burned down...?

Um, also, what's on the wagon by the Plot?

Following up on this... does it look like the boxes are made with that sturdy wood from Mining Equipment, or the kind of wood that used to be in Carpentry?

✰♪♡

Cute lil' Nico nii is suspicious for no reason again~

It can't be helped, I guess Nico will post her account from last night~♪✰

...



Today Nico was ready to do her duties as the 2nd mayor of Bud Town. To promote Nico's cuteness and charm to the town, Nico went to Newspaper and printed out flyers to hand out to citizens~♪

During this however, Nico saw a person in a bedsheet robe climb down from the backwindow. Nico thought it must be the dumb 2nd rate idol finally hiding her ugly face so nobody has to ruin their eyes~✰



Nico handed out flyers to some people. First it was Kroos, then Skull Face, then Ace Ventura, then Akira, chicken man and Zalsarona

Nico was still handing out more flyers to people around Orange and after a bit heard a commotion nearby as she was walking. Then Nico heard a train whistle that blew~♪

Nico then gave flyers to Roland and someone in a Fox Mask~♪ They were both going to Red.

Nico also gives one to Storm1. Being popular is Nico's secret talent, hehe~♡


Now Nico didn't want to do this but since the weird gold man said we would die if we didn't try to kill someone, Nico had to think of something clever. Some chump from an alternate reality drew an anvil getting thrown onto Nico's cute lil' head. Can you believe that?? Who would want to hurt Nico nii ;__;

So Nico decided to use this chump's strategy and got an anvil from Blacksmith and carried it up to Target Range through Carpentry. Nico saw Zalsarona near Explosive Storage and knew it was Nico's chance to potentially get a kill unseen so peeked out the window and dropped it on her head.


Nico didn't hit however and was a little embarassed as Zal looked up and saw her~♡ So Nico just apologized to her by giving her a 🤟and left. Sorry nicooo~♡✰

Nico then went to Red building to meet Evangeline and discuss plans for Nico's new mayor assignment and her duties as an assistant. Nico saw Fox Mask and Roland. Guess they were on a date~♡

Roland left north of locomotive, and Fox Mask entered red building. Maybe they had an argument~♪♪

Nico also saw Atua and asked him some questions~✰

Then Nico wanted to hold a funeral for Bud and was going to do a sermon in Chapel but nobody came!! Nico honored the late Bud and did the funeral herself and hopes he has a good rest in the afterlife. Nico did see Zalsarona nearby as she entered the chapel but just smiled and waved at her

Nico waited and waited for more people to come but eventually called it a night and went back to sleep. Such a dissapointing funeral nico~
...


Nico hopes she can cheer people up now and will do everything she can to maintain the Bud Town legacy. Please believe in Nico as much as she believes in you~♪♡

Summary:

Spoiler: Show

-- Head to Newspaper, someone in bedsheet robe climbs down the back window
-- Make flyers to distribute to promote myself
-- Milling about Green/Orange, pass out flyers to Kroos, Skull Face, Ace Ventura, Akira, Sanders, Zalsarona in that order.
-- Heard a commotion nearby, then heard a train whistle go off
-- Pass more flyers to Roland and Fox Mask (they both go to Red) and then Storm1
-- Grab an anvil from Blacksmith and carry it up Target Range thru Carpentry. Watch for target outside window and see Zalsarona below near Explosive Storage, drop it on her but miss.
-- Go to Red and see Roland and Fox Mask in Locomotive. Evangeline is West of them, so I go bond with her
-- Roland leaves Locomotive, Fox enters Red.
-- Talk to Atua near Cemetary
-- Hold funeral service for Bud in Chapel. Saw Zalsarona nearby as I went in. Nobody came to the service after a while so I went to bed

Oh, also... we only checked the Green and Purple tunnels, so can we check the one on the Saloon side, too?

Thinking about it... I guess I'd also want to see what's up with the Saloon itself, plus all the upstairs rooms. Hotel, Restaurant, Gambling Parlor, Brewery... a-anything weird in any of those? I-I heard about the Parlor, but... I don't know... since I saw that masked person... maybe they ditched evidence...?

"Meow."

Mcjango yawns pawing at his device that seems to now be covered in dirt and paw prints. As always the beeps before the words "Anime protagonist " flashes.


"Behold! I am Sleepy Baby Boy McJango, the harbinger of friendship!

As the sun sets, I honor my fallen comrade Bud by igniting hope within this town! I dash to the General Store, where I greet my comrade Madame Zalsarona, her power radiating! With tools of nature's fury—a watering can brimming with life and a broom to sweep away darkness—I rush forth to Bud’s Bees, ready to unleash a whirlwind of rebirth!



I make my way to the hive and feel a shadow of despair, I knew the pain of not seeing my master...so i needed to let them know what had happened. With a fierce resolve, I sought to communicate to the buzzing swarm that Bud would not return - Uncertain of my bee-speak, I still conveyed the truth! My faithful ally Hifumi joined the fray as we guarded Bud's sacred hive.


Suddenly, a menacing figure emerged from the darkness—Storm 1! Doubts gnawed at me, would he stand with us? But without warning, he brandished a shotgun, aiming directly at our precious beehive! This was an affront that ignited my fury! In a flash, I drew my own weapon, intercepting his evil aim before he could devastate Bud's legacy! With a snarl, he retreated down the street, leaving us to protect what mattered most.



With my continued resolve, I charge towards the plot, unleashing a torrent of life-giving water upon the garden as Hifumi leaves southward to the Canal.

After i finish my gardening, i feel my heart race as I go to the stable, yearning to connect with the magnificent steeds. Although............................a secret looms over me; instead of hunting frail mice, I stalk the shadows, poised for any player to cross my path for a final battle. As I wait I hear a piercing sound through the stillness, a thunderous train whistle erupts! Then moments later, the sound of a swarm buzzes ominously from the east.



Thankfuly no one comes though the stables to fight me, so I move though the empty Saloon, and to the Restaurant!

I gather every scrap of food I can find—zero time for mere snacking!! With a fierce determination, I charge down the street, ready to nourish the brave livestock! A figure emerges—it's Storm 1, dashing towards the canal like a phantom in the night!

After the animals are fed i head down the street towards carpentry, however as I walk I hear an explosion reverberates behind me!



As the final act of my noble quest, I plunge into the charred remnants of the Carpentry room to clean up. With each sweep of the ashes, I fight for peace for all the freidns we lost along the way...My valor does not go unnoticed, as my loyal comrade Akira shows up with a fox mask and showers me with Treats, a feast for my weary soul!

With my belly satiated, I then head to bed!

I-I'll hold off for now... but is there anywhere we can get materials to make boxes like that now that Carpentry is burned down...?

Um, also, what's on the wagon by the Plot?

As stated, it looks like there's a pile of wood in the General Store, and there's the large slab-like planks in Mining Equipment.

You check the wagon. It is empty, except for a lone shovel standing there.

You craft a facsimile box, and then burn it. The resulting pile of ashes is distinctly larger than the pile by the building.

You doublecheck the pile. No trace of anything not ashes. For clarity, the box you burned left half-melted nails in the pile.

Following up on this... does it look like the boxes are made with that sturdy wood from Mining Equipment, or the kind of wood that used to be in Carpentry?

You check the boxes. They seem far too thin to be the Mining Equipment wood.

Oh, also... we only checked the Green and Purple tunnels, so can we check the one on the Saloon side, too?

Thinking about it... I guess I'd also want to see what's up with the Saloon itself, plus all the upstairs rooms. Hotel, Restaurant, Gambling Parlor, Brewery... a-anything weird in any of those? I-I heard about the Parlor, but... I don't know... since I saw that masked person... maybe they ditched evidence...?

You check the tunnel on the Saloon side. There is a bedsheet-covered large lump.

You check the Saloon. Someone's been making coffee, someone's been smoking cigarettes, someone left a bunch of pie goo on the floor, and multiple someones have been drinking alcohol.

You check the Restaurant. Aside from a couple missing slices of pie and the evidence of baking, place seems clean.

You check the Brewery. A metal keg is missing.

You check the Gambling Parlor. A couple guns, tied to twine at foot level, are guarding the entrance from the Restaurant.

You check the Hotel. The north window is open, and there are some marks going up above it.
