Pixy walks in, stretching a bit as he does, and looks around.

Well well well... if my boss tells me I have to come to the office then it's usually cause someone bit the dust, right? Yeah, that's right. Think of me as a bad omen, I guess. Not as bad of an omen as my Buddy, let me tell you. That man's a legend. Me, I'm just a merc, so if this is what my boss wants me to do, then this is what I'll do.

So who was it this time... looks like it's our good friend @Peach Anne, huh. She's currently slumped over dead at the Lake Set, with blood coming out of her chest. How unfortunate. There's also two idiots there as well, but they're very much alive at least. So, let's get to it.

@Peach Anne was the ULTIMATE ASSASSIN

The Ultimate Assassin: Show

Wait, who are you again? I don’t recall you being on the list…. Ah well, you look like an upstanding enough fellow, surely you wouldn’t hurt anyone. What’s this tag say? …. Ultimate Assassin, huh? Oh, so you’re one of those killing movie actors!..... Right?

No, you are the Ultimate Assassin, and you aren’t here for a walk in the park. You’re here to do your job, you came here not from some craigslist ad, you were contracted to “clean house”, and that’s what you’re best at. You came here with a hooded coat, a knife, and a gun with 5 bullets. Your gun is specialized anime bullshit and you won’t find more ammo that this gun requires, so make those shots count, but luckily your gun is highly accurate, even at a distance. Your lifetime of killing has made you proficient in concealing your weapons on you as well, so if you get searched your weapons won’t be revealed unless you decide to show them off. Also, needless to say, your attempts will be a bit more likely to succeed, because some schmuck using a wooden spoon to stab someone to death will be less likely to succeed than your killing arts, right?

Remember though, you’re here on a contract, and your employers expect you to perform your duties in a timely manner. In this regard, you will at least need to show gumption, so you have to at least attempt every night. No exceptions. Also, you must end every night in your room, unless something forces you to be unable to otherwise, such as being knocked out. You’ve gotta plan your next strike in silence after all. On top of that, you cannot attempt on the same person two nights in a row. You’ve got a lot of people here to kill, get a feel for your, *ahem*, “clientele”.

Forbidden Action: As your employers contract states: You MUST attempt every night. You MUST end your night in your room unless physically rendered unable to do so. You CANNOT attempt on the same person two nights in a row. Failure in any of these regards, and you might just find yourself being assassinated instead…

Such a great power, I would have loved to have her on the battlefield with me, but it looks like that isn't going to happen anymore. That's just how it goes, though. How about some info to get you started.

The Map

Room Descriptions: Show

Auditorium
A simple viewing room with nine long couches facing a projector screen, a projector hands on the south wall. There are two entrances, one on the south side and one on the east side. Doesn’t appear to be used much.

Waiting Room
A run-down looking room, there are a couple chairs in here, three on the north and south walls, but not much else. There are also various movie posters hanging on the walls, but otherwise it’s a pretty blank room.

Security Checkpoints
Three separate checkpoints that allow passage through a huge chainlink fence that spans the length of the floor and goes up to the ceiling. The checkpoints have metal detectors in them that still appear functional, but also look somewhat ragged.

Restrooms
I seriously doubt I need to explain what these do, needless to say you assholes will still piss all over everything else in this studio anyways so why even bother with having these here, but they’re restrooms. They’ve got stalls and urinals and whatnot, pretty standard stuff.

Elevators
Elevators, two sets of two of them, two on the north wall and two on the south wall. They take you up and down. Simple stuff.

The Bar
Your host’s favorite room, the one where you can forget that life is a thing and just drink away the misery that is existence. Or just get a drink, either one. There’s a long bar in the back of the room with a wall covered in liquor bottles. There’s also five tables and another long table on the eastern side of the room. The Janitor has cleaned up the broken bottles and alcohol and matches, please keep it orderly.

Souvenir Shop
Yay you can buy something from here to take back home with you after we’re done here! … What do you mean you have no money?... wait who even works this thing? No one? Then… okay whatever just grab stuff off the wall if you want, it’s just posters at this point anyways. It’s an interesting shape though and it looks like it can be climbed on top of.

Restaurant
Oh boy, food! You can eat here! You can cook here! No one else is here to cook for you so you have to cook! There’s a large table with a stove and sink close to the southern entrance and a strange locked closet that’s been reinforced, wonder what’s in there?

Dorms
The first floor’s section of the dorms, where some of you will be staying during your time here. There’s nine rooms here, and they all look the same, just a bed and a small table next to your bed. Look, you might work in a studio but you’re all third-rate actors and employees, don’t get all upset cause you don’t have 5-star rooms okay just deal with it.

???
What the hell is that? It looks like a trapdoor, but it’s huge and metal. Wonder what that’s for…

Room description: Show

Lake Set
This is the set where we film our amazing water-based scenes. A blue, flowing lake- okay no it’s just a giant pool. It doesn’t even slope down into the water gradually, it literally drops off into a 10ft pool immediately so don’t expect to be able to wade into there all nice and gently, you’re going to get wet if you leave the edge of it. It’s also fairly warm for some reason. The only other thing of note is a table to the south of the lake, nothing super fancy.

Editing and Tech Storage
Okay this is where we make the movie magic happen, our dedicated team of editors, filmers, e- wait where are our editors? Where’s the tech team even at? This room is abandoned! Oh well, it still has the equipment in it, the southern walls are covered in large screens that can be used to view recordings and do some editing as well if you’re savvy enough, otherwise you’ll just kinda be lost at what you’re looking at. There’s also two closets here, the smaller closet has spare camera equipment in it while the longer one has spare computer parts and a couple props in them. It has an entrance on the north wall and appears to lead into the Prop Workshop as well.

Prop Workshop
From a gladiator’s sword to a pop-cap gun, you can make your props here. There’s a supply closet to the right side of the wall and it appears that this room is connected to the Editing and Tech Storage as well. Remember kids, be careful when handling dangerous materials! It's also a bit messier, please clean up after yourselves you jackasses.

Saloon Set
Yeehaw pardner, our western shootout movies are filmed here (even though none of them were successful apparently). The entrance is on the southern wall and it has those old-timey swinging doors, you know the kind I mean. It has a long bar to the west side of the saloon and four tables across from it. It looks like there’s some holes in the roof and walls too, probably someone getting a bit too into their shootouts and just missing their target completely. Also, the blood and body have been cleaned up, but the alcohol and glass shards are still there, at least the smell is.

Gallery Set
Elegant paintings and masterful statues are contained in this high-walled room. There are two entrances, one to the north and one to the east, and the room looks almost like it’s sectioned off in two parts by a dividing wall, but only for half the room. There’s a long table on the western half of the room with various jewels and busts with paintings lining the wall, and on the eastern side there’s four different presentation walls with paintings as well, and four huge statues that appear to be in the model of some strange dances. They have plaques to say what they are doing, but you’ll just have to check them out to see!

Elevators
The elevators that connect to the ones on the first floor, nothing special about them.

Dorms
Second floor dorms, these are laid out the same as the first floor but also have two tables under a balcony at the entrance. The rooms are the exact same as the first floor’s too, just a bed and a small table.

Flooded Hallway
A prime example of why putting bathrooms in the same hall as the bedrooms is a terrible idea. Someone left the sink on, and it's spilled all through the hall, leaving it in a terrible state. It is barricaded off with some caution tape, but you could probably get in if you wanted.

Now in the interest of making sure that the fun isn't ruined tonight due to some previous, well, "funposting" we'll call it, the deceased will not be receiving any form of information on their death. Sorry 'bout it, it does just take one to ruin the party after all, and I'm not a very forgiving man. I'm also going to be instituting some form of punishment for any further AFK's after tonight's investigation. Nothing personal, just want to keep the ball rolling.

As for this mission's deadline, let's say you have until about 7 PM PST tomorrow, Thursday, to figure this one out. We're not doin' so hot on correct votes as of now, but I trust that you'll all be able to work this one out. Good luck.

I would like to show off my excellent video.

oh yeah, this'll probably get answered in an account but I'd like to investigate the noises from the flooded dorm.

I would like to show off my excellent video.

You play your... uh... "masterpiece" for the audience. It starts with a scene of mario and crash entering mario's room, then some random dark bits that appear to be someone walking in the woods for a long time, then next it flips over to a scene of some pale, coated figure entering Amoeba's room, then more walking in the woods, then MORE walking in the woods, then you see twofinger lifting up a camera and turning it off.

And that's the video!...? What a shit video...

oh yeah, this'll probably get answered in an account but I'd like to investigate the noises from the flooded dorm.

You carefully make your way to one of the far back rooms where you can hear faint sounds of someone imitating gunshot sounds. As you start to head over you notice some wires dangling into the water...

The Janitor moves them so you can pass. You head into the far back room and find a camera replaying a video of Peach Anne making gunshot sounds and explosion sounds like her last one. The scene appears to be the editing room.

Ehehehe... that wash a night to remember! I've had a lodda fun!


But why did the peash-ann fellow die? They were the besht in the world!..


Doeshn't matter. Judging from tha' role, wash prob'ly a killer anyway. I dun' care anymore! heeheehee...

I wake up in Big's room, walk past the entrance to the woods and see coffee gnome there with a net
walk upstairs and grab my camera from the room, gnome goes to bed at this time
back downstairs coffee is gone, I put my camera down and have it record the night
I pass by the flooded dorm and peek down it and see an out of place barstool, which is new to this area
I grab another camera from the editing room, there seems to be no more left, and record the rest of my night
back in front of the woods, I see someone pale enter it before me and then head inside myself
while lost in the woods I occasionally hear two people shouting at each other
after a long hike I return to my home, then proceed to grab the camera I left and splice the footage from that and my handheld one together
finished my pro editing job, I find myself drawn to the saloon where I clean up the remains of the previous nights struggles, then pass out

Since he seems to be feeling unwell, I'd like to ask @The Janitor [Janitor] about his night.

I would also like to inspect the Lake Set, with focus mostly around the immediate area surrounding the body, and the body itself of course.

what did the security guard do all night

please and thank you

I woke up REAL early tonight. I had a date with a special Gnome.

I walked outside to see Crash and Mario heading out into the Woods. I went over to the entrance to the forest right as Gnome showed up with some materials, and Hearts walked up the stairs. Gnome and I set up our tripwire in front of the entrance to the Woods. We wait for a good while and I see The Other Monokuma walking down the stairs and out of the Dorms in the direction of the Kitchen, with Amoeba leaving their room shortly after, and they head the same way.

From a distance, I saw Monokuma destroy the Kitchen by throwing matches into it while Amoeba watched from a distance away, as the entire Kitchen erupts into a pillar of flame. Just then, Gnome came back from a little shopping trip with our net. I noticed him show up next to me at the same time as an explosion went off.

We set up our net as I see Mario and Crash having a little chase or something in the Woods. I got bored staring at them, but I did see Serval running into her room. I'm about to call it quits, but I see Twofinger come out of Big's room wearing a big ol' shirt. He gives me a wave and I go back into my room.

Since he seems to be feeling unwell, I'd like to ask @The Janitor [Janitor] about his night.

I would also like to inspect the Lake Set, with focus mostly around the immediate area surrounding the body, and the body itself of course.

I'll go drag the janitor out of the corner so he can give his piece, not really my place to speak for him.

As for the Lake Set, aside from the two fucktards who were there when the investigation started, the only things out of the ordinary are:

The body is laying on top of a costume stand that appears to have wheels at the bottom
The body has signs of blunt force trauma to the back of the head, and a puncture wound on the chest area around the heart
The costume stand has some cloth on it that appears to be painted half black, and it has a machete gouged into it
There is a wooden cooking mallet next to the body
My god damn fake grass is now colored like blood around the body, great.

Oh... Right about that.

I was just minding my business by the Elevator, when that bear came by again. He started calling me all sorts of mean names because I did my job and cleaned up the gore on the second floor. I'm not normally a sensitive man, but he brought me to tears as he stood there.

What a horrible little animal. I do hope those monochrome bears aren't all like that...

does the machete match up with the puncture wound? does the mallet match up with the head wound? can we determine which was the ultimate cause of death
is there blood all over the cart? with how much blood there is on the grass, could we assume the wounds were inflicted in the lake set or if they were dealt somewhere else and the body wheeled to the location?

Someone go hug the Janitor

God damn man, you're supposed to be investigating, not me. Okay hold on, in order:

You line the machete up to the hole in her chest, the machete is far too big to cause that.

The mallet could conceivably match the head wound, yes.

Well, there's no bleeding from the head hit, looks more like it was used to incapacitate than kill, the chest gouge however, it looks like it fucked up her heart and lungs a good bit, no one's surviving that.

There is not blood all over the cart, but there is a steady stream coming from her chest flowing down the cloth, then onto the ground, but not all over it.

You look around the outside of the lake set and see no blood.

The rest is up to you.

Can I go out into the woods and check things out there?
I'd also like to go check which of the Paints specified in the case file was taken.
Also what kind of adventure did you go on Mr. Producer?

What's happening, Studio B, Crash is back yet again! My account is scarce, some might say nonexistent, but I'll share what I have.

I decided to tail Mario all night, because I wanted to make sure he didn't do anything I might regret. After all, if anybody's gonna put him in the dirt, it's me.



From the time I woke up to the time I slept, Mario did not leave my rose-tinted sight. Even when he got us lost in the woods for a bit and tried to scare me a bunch. I followed him back to his room and slept on his floor. I saw nothing nor anybody else. Well, see ya!

You poke around the woods a bit, there's signs that people have been stomping around out here but you can't find anything outstanding aside from a dead owl.

No paints appear to have been lifted from the workshop tonight, but there is evident use of both black and orange paint.

You want to know... about what I did? Really?
Wow, uh... okay. Sure. I flew over to Studio A, and I took a look around, keeping my gun on me of course, then Xavier got really mad at me for some reason and I took off back here to my office. Then I got the call that someone died and came out here to see you guys.

Thanks for asking, no one ever asks how I'm doing or what I did. I appreciate it.

can we check if the holes on the body are nail shaped
