Yeah so, this bear guy's been like this for hours now, just standing there, not moving at all. Not exactly in a rush to have him start running around the place killing people again though, so I won't push the issue. The issue I WILL push though, is that someone's died again.

@Smasher's lying on the ground in the Horror Set, next to the animatronic, with her skull caved in. All I'm gonna say, is that Smasher's not looking like a pretty sight.



...And she's all gory and shit too.

Jokes aside though, her role was the Ultimate Stuntman

rolecard: Show

That scene where the main character is leaping from a building right before it explodes? Yeah, that was actually you. That motorcycle chase scene? Also you, because you are the Ultimate Stuntman!

As the Ultimate Stuntman your outfits and gear are kept on-set. The crew has to keep them in top shape after all, you don’t work with anything less! What this role does allow you to do is avoid deadly situations once! Wanna see if you could survive that super high fall? Go for it, but go for it only once. That super dangerous explosion you wanted to set off? You can leap out of it! Once! This can get you out of all sorts of situations! ONCE! Get the idea? Good!

Now obviously you won’t survive everything, you can’t stunt your way out of poison that’s coursing through you, or if a giant lance pierces your body for example, you’re not god, but you’re pretty close. Also, when I say once, I mean only one time. Ever. The only way to get more uses of your role power is to complete a condition, which will be provided to you the next night after you have used your power. What is that condition? Who knows, you’ll have to find out after using your role!

Of course, this sounds all great and good, what’s the downside? Well, that role power of yours can also cause issues for you down the line. If you don’t have your role ability available then attempts against you or unfortunate situations are more likely to mess you up, so be sure to keep that role power available!

Forbidden Action: You cannot use your role power to “ensure” a kill. For example, you cannot set up a bomb and hold someone in place to confirm a kill while using your role power to survive. You’ve got standards, y’know? If you’re unclear on if something crosses that line, ask!

Look, I'm getting as tired of this as you are, so let's just get through this one, and solve the murder. With this bear guy not doing anything, maybe the killer'll come forward regardless, considering there's no one around to execute them. Or maybe not. Either way, for legal purposes, I need this case solved, so I'm gonna give you all an incentive, just for the hell of it.

If you vote correctly on this one, I'll give you another one of those fancy grab bag things that was being handed out earlier. Won't be the same stuff obviously, but maybe there's something cool in here, who knows. I just found them sitting around by the bear, but they're all sealed with some kind of lock, looks like it only releases when you vote correctly. Can't cut them open either, trust me I've tried.

The Map

Room Descriptions: Show

Park Set
An outdoor movie set resembling a park. A path splits the middle, with grassy areas on each side.

To the right are two benches, as well as a giant fan meant for simulating wind. To the left is a small playground, bloody and with the meme wheel chopped off, lying on the playground. There used to be a lamppost, but it is gone now. A pile of meat, now defrosted, sits about where the lamppost used to be.

Gathering Room
A large, mostly open and empty room meant for meetings, lunchtime, and parties. Some folding tables and chairs are set up, but less than before.

Kitchen
A fairly professional kitchen, with a large variety of cooking equipment, as well as industrial stoves and ovens, as well as a deep fryer.

A large refrigeration unit sits against the right wall, containing any and all foodstuffs you could require for use in the horrible cooking videos you are sure to replicate. All of the alcohol is gone, and a loaf of bread sits in the fridge. Cake and some wine sit on the counter. One counter is covered in honey, and there are eggs on the floor, broken.

Bathrooms
Two gender-neutral bathrooms sit in the same hallway as the Kitchen. They each contain a simple toilet, as well as a sink with a sink bottle of hand soap, with a mirror mounted above. On the outermost bathroom, a hole in the wall leads outside, and the toilet is filled with chemicals.

Horror Set
An indoor set carefully made to resemble a graveyard. A camera and some audio equipment are set up here, as well as a director’s chair and one of those little clapboards with “The Wendigo” written on it in chalk.

Across the room, a large Wendigo animatronic stands among several graves and a mausoleum. Inside the mausoleum and down a set of stairs is a locked door labeled “ANIMATRONIC CONTROL” . The animatronic wears a sunglasses, and a tie, as well as red lipstick and angry red eyebrows. Many chairs and tables were set up here, but are mostly knocked over, with a punch bowl lying on the ground. Alex Jones' InfoWars desk appears to be stuck to the ceiling.

Hannibal's body sits here, next to a bottle of drain cleaner.

Hair and Makeup
Four mirrors, with corresponding makeup cabinets line the back wall, with a large costume rack also present. It appears to be a fairly standard setup for a makeup and change room, from what you know of the business.

Prop Warehouse
A large warehouse with one door open. Allegedly it’s for old props no longer in use, but security seems to have a tight grasp on it, which the guard station out front is a testament to. Several pill bottles sit outside.

Tool Shed
A medium sized wooden shed. Contains many tools used for clearing wood, as well as for maintaining various operations around the studio. Much of the shed is taken up by a large, wheeled wood chipper, from when the surrounding woods were cleared to make way for the studio. It has seen better days, but it should still work. There are no axes or hatchets left.

Executive Building
The main floor a rather upscale looking office building The front desk is empty, and a password-locked computer sits behind the desk, although its printer has been stolen. There are two chairs, as well as a large elevator. It appears to go all the way up to 4F, but without a keycard or the password to a keypad mounted below the floor selection, you can only reach 2F.

The lobby smells a lot like piss.

Room Descriptions: Show

Leisure Corridor
A mostly empty hallway. Contains two vending machines with a large variety of snacks. The sign is now missing from the one on the left.

Infirmary
A hospital bed sits against the wall, next to a bedside table containing a glass of water. Across the room is a supply cabinet with many first aid kits, as well as a couple surgical tools and several bottles of weird medications, although far less than there used to be. All of the bottles are empty. A snakebite kit sits out on the counter.

Audio Lab
Contains several high-end computers meant for editing audio, as well as assorted audio equipment. The computers are logged into a “GUEST” account with publicly accessible files and storage. Flash drives are strewn about, and a printer is hooked up to one of the computers. Many bottles of whiskey are around.

Recording Studio
Contains a high-quality microphone, and curiously, an intercom system, despite a lack of noticeable speakers anywhere else. The window is heavily tinted, on the request of a very nervous voice actor who hated being watched, so any actions performed in this room cannot be seen from the outside. A computer is set up inside, running Fortnite.

Aerial Shot Catwalk
A catwalk overlooking the Park Set. Contains a couple cameras and microphones, all pointed at the set below. Off to the sides are various chairs and crates of cables. The spare meme wheel is gone.

Moon Set/Filming Area
A movie set based on the moon. Half the room contains cameras pointing at the set itself, and the set itself consists of white sand, artificial craters, and a large prop spaceship, which is completely hollow.

Costume Lab
A cluttered room piled high with all the materials needed to create high quality prosthetics, masks, and costumes in general. Due to the variety and complexity in equipment, only a master of the craft will be able to use them to their highest potential. A Venom costume appears to be missing, and a naked mannequin sits in its place.

Much of the room is now taken up by the moon rover, which sits in the middle.

Rooftop
The roof of the Prop Warehouse. Besides a couple vents, there’s not much up here.

Poster Hall
A hallway filled with various posters of previous movies from the studio, all mounted and framed on the wall. Some of them look familiar, some of them look frankly quite awful. One of the posters is smashed, with a bottle of jack daniels at its base. A few of the posters are missing.

Corporate Bar
An upscale bar filled with many kinds of rare and expensive alcohol. Does not contain any food, however, besides a couple chilled substances like ice cream, and some citrus fruits for the mixing of drinks. Smells awful.

Records Room
Contains many documents on studio history and the ongoings of the area. The door has been blown clean off.

This case will end at 7 PM PST tomorrow.

There's only one thing to do.

Take a look at that staircase under the statue.

tell my lamppost i loved him

There's only one thing to do.

Take a look at that staircase under the statue.

Looks like I'm stuck dealing with these myself now.

*sigh*

You check out the staircase, which leads down into a rather dimly lit hallway. A small pool of blood lies at the bottom of the stairs, and the walls are lined with cables and pipes, which carry a strange fluid. You follow the hallway for a bit, until you come to a crossroads, labeled with signs. One direction appears to go to Studio B, and one appears to go to "Studio X", wherever that is.

You glance upwards at the crossroads, noticing a beam of light shining down. There appears to be a shaft reaching upwards, with a hatch hanging off its hinges. Something must have busted it open.

Can I climb the shaft and find where the hatch goes?

Look at the pool of blood. Is it fresh?

Look at the pool of blood. Is it fresh?

You grab a ladder from the Tool Shed and attempt to climb up the shaft. You can't get all the way up, but you notice the further you go, the walls of the shaft appear to slowly shift from concrete to cobblestone. You can just barely see out the top of it, and it looks like you are in the Woods somewhere.

The pool appears to be from last night.

Well... I can bearly hide my disappointment. I had plans to go prepare an outfit in the costume lab today, and grab that moon buggy remote from the park.

But just as I was waking up I saw a tall, spooky, horned figure looming above me! I panicked... quite a bit. It reached up and...

knocked me out.

I'm sort of getting the feeling people aren't liking my attempts to lighten the mood.

...Anyway... I'd like to check the cracked tombstones and see if any of them match the wound on Smasher's head, maybe even reconstructing them if any of them completely broke apart.

The cracked tombstones appear to have some blood and brain matter on them, but because her head is totally busted open, it's hard to tell.

You attempt to reconstruct them. All the pieces appear to be there, and it's not too tough, although obviously, they don't stick together. You notice that some of them have a bit of Flex Tape on them though, in a loop, making them double sided.

Okay. That's it. No more friendly Honoka. I lost TWO important friends last night. I am going to investigate the absolute shit out of this case.

I wake up, realizing that I'm still inside my robot suit from last night's moon rover madness. Getting up, I discard my suit, grab my shovel, and go outside, dropping the rover remote off on the Park Set for anyone who wants it. Deciding not to go to the horror set and potentially tangle with anyone who might want to mess with that wendigo animatronic, I instead go through the Gathering Hall, which looks pretty wrecked. There's some liquid noises from the bathrooms, too.

Going upstairs, I see MCD drinking madly in the audio lab, his eyes empty with the gaze of a broken man. Sucks to be him. I also see Dante TPing the statue for reasons unknown, while he yells at it and has his own wooden object next to it. Weird. Going into the costume lab, I start to put together a biker jacket, taking one from the costume rack and stitching some unique decals onto it. I'll show it off if anyone wants! During this, Smasher joins me, coming in from the Prop Warehouse roof. She watches and admires my work for a bit, but we're interrupted by everyone's old friend... the Wendigo. He bursts in from the horror set's area, doing his best Scissorman impression as he drags a pair of shears around and stares at us menacingly. Thankfully, he just leaves in the direction of the walkway to the executive building, allowing me to finish my jacket.

I put on my jacket and a pair of sunglasses, after which Smasher punches me in the face for the clusterfuck that was Night 4, as she'd promised to do to anyone she could. In fairness, we deserve it. The two of us cross the walkway ourselves, heading towards the Elevator. We see the Wendigo covering the Records Room in alcohol, which is... concerning. But our objective is the elevator ourselves, as we enter the password and ride it up to floor 3. And considering how much happened up there, I'm going to share the mysteries of the upper floors!

Floor 3 contains a motion capture room and a break room. We went to the mocap room first, and poked around. Shit's cool, but we couldn't figure out how to make it work - though while we were doing this, there was a huge explosion sound somewhere. Probably the destruction of the records room. We then went into the break room, at which point the Wendigo exited the elevator - up here on 3F! I attempted to attack with my shovel, but he...

He...

He broke my shovel in half. With his bare hands. I took a bit of damage from the shears, but my shovel... it was no more.

I-i'm sorry. I need a moment.

...

Alright, I'm fine now.

While I mourned, the Wendigo looked at all the electronics, then left. We just found the password for downstairs' computer and nothing else, so we didn't have anything useful. As we left the break room, we saw the Wendigo investigating the mocap room's computer, or doing SOMETHING on one of them. We ride the elevator up to 4F, which is a nice big fancy room, full of chairs, a desk, and filing cabinets. And also it had Xavier, who was sitting at his desk and looking at a big expensive computer. He promptly told both of us to fuck off. Can't say I blame him.

Anyhow, we rode down to 2F, where Smasher got off the elevator, while I rode the elevator down all the way to 1F. Going right from the Executive Building to the Park Set, I see Mettaton, with the stage all set up! Dante, covered in shit, leaves the area, while Seal comes out of the Gathering Hall to watch. I join Mettaton on stage, and we begin... to PERFORM! He uses his actual guitar, and I air guitar on my nothing. I was supposed to use my shovel, but SOMEBODY ruined that! On the plus side, Trip and Terezi show up to watch too. How nice.

At some point, for some reason, Alex Jones - red, sweaty, and shirtless - comes CHARGING out at us from the Executive Building, knocking everyone over. Not that it's hard for me to get back up and get back into action. We finish off with a bodacious performance of Highway Star, while Seal goes over to the Horror Set. Mettaton tries to flirt with me, asking if I'd like to go for drinks, but I'm a committed woman - and also just tired. I head back to my bedroom, noticing that at this point the statue has moved and revealed a hidden staircase. With that, I go back to sleep.

Investigate the Gathering Hall to see what form of trashed it is.

Check out the horror set for any other potential murder weapons.

Is Hannibal's corpse still there? Do we just have double corpse power?

It's not that bad, the chairs and remaining tables have just been tossed around a bit. Not many tables remain though, after the park setup.

Check out the horror set for any other potential murder weapons.

Nothing else that didn't already have blood on it appears to be bloody, but you do notice a prop lamppost, with a sign stuck to it. It contains a message written in something red:

the message: Show

"if you're reading this, i'm probably dead

what? did you expect a world class poem? i've been fucking murdered, hurry up and find out who did it you shitbags"

Is Hannibal's corpse still there? Do we just have double corpse power?

Hannibal's corpse is still there, looking as ghastly as ever.

Check the door to the Animatronic Control Room. Is it locked?

The door does appear to be locked, and unlike in the investigation yesterday, there's no key in sight to unlock it with

I'd like to compare the shit on Dante to the manure surrounding the fan.

Additionally, I'd like to investigate Dante for blood-leaking injuries.

You compare the shit covering Dante to the manure surrounding the fan. It definitely smells more like manure than the shit that was in, say, Roller's mouth.

He appears to be slightly bleeding from his head, which is pretty bruised anyway honestly.

I want to try and pose the Wendigo so he looks like he's disco dancing, to test how well I can manually move it.

Also, I'd like to tell Smasher's lamppost that she loved him, and invite him out for drinks later while we mourn her.

You attempt to pose the Wendigo. Now that it's moved around and its joints aren't as stiff, it's possible to reposition it fairly easily. You pose it so it looks like it's disco dancing.

You pick up Smasher's lamppost, and give it a comforting hug, telling it that she loved him. You invite it out for drinks later, but it does not respond at all.

I'd like to ask for Trip and Xavier to share their testimony.

While im writing my account, I'd like to investigate the animatronic for tamperins aside from the moving, as well as the tombstone desk rubble for anything that wasn't there before when I used it, or the such.

I'd like to use the key that Jones offered to open up the Control Room and investigate. Is the code different? Can I tell anything about when it was input or anything?

Also, I'd like to investigate the Park Set.
