It seems we are at the turning point for everything. It is satisfying to see some of you finally get that sense of urgency, and even more so to see some of you putting your minds to some genuinely interesting actions. Please by all means, keep at it. You'll need your absolute best to triumph over those doing similar. That being said, there was one person who could not dedicate the time to our charade anymore, and reluctantly I let Sebastian Michaelis go last night. They simply had more important things to do and were removed for being afk too many times. I wish you the best in your endeavors, and thank you for the Fox mask earlier, you didn't have any spares did you?
The dealer chuckles
Anyways, the real victim tonight is a bit controversial, one might say he was the STAR of the show (He pulls out the star tarot card from his deck). Your very own manifestation of madness Bill Cipher was found perished just outside his room, with a sword stuck through his eye of pure white. How unfortunate, just a few steps further and he may have been safe in his room. His body looks a bit mangled too, perhaps he was closer than we think. There's not much else to say about the body at face value, so here's some facts of the night.


I know what you are all up to. Stay out of my vault without permission. Last and only warning.
The secret elevator you all tried so hard to uncover is irrevocably destroyed. I have no care for it and will not repair it at any point.
At this point the Library is quite scarce on books after the burning and other "checking outs", don't expect to find much anymore.
The stairs to the basement are slippery with grease, watch your step.
Slayer's body was relocated to the game room. It seems like it's at peace... as much as a dead man can be.
Someone left a great axe embedded in the balcony door frame, please retrieve your belongings from my interior walls.
The game room now has a huge dent in the amount of alcohol there, did you enjoy yourselves?
The dumbwaiter was excessively used tonight


I think that's good for starters. Think you can figure this one out? Or did you sporadically forget how?

Spoiler: Show

Master Bedroom: The main staying quarters for the host of the party. He'll always start his night here but he may not leave every night. Expect to find some personal possessions as well as decorations and standard necessities for living. It also has it's own bathroom!

Hallways: Standard expanses of room that have paintings and other artistic decorations. It seems to be going for a vintage style with it's wall paper and colors.

Museum: A broad room speckled with plaques of information and exhibits regarding various topics and items. If modern interests are what you enjoy, it'd take some serious commitment to get through the entire exhibits, but at a glance they seem to focus on the house's history and the modern world in a gothic-punk style. There's a small window that can seen into the Main Foyer.

Den: A cozy room to relax in for when the party gets too wild downstairs. Enjoy countless sofas and seats around a broad fireplace to warm the room. Some bookcases and knickknacks provide the room with sparse decoration, but the bear rug and lighting adds to the relaxation of the room. A window looks down into the Main Foyer in the southwest corner and A dumbwaiter lies open in the northeast corner accompanied by a Bell above it, and a string tied next to the opening.

Balcony: A high rise above the Main Foyer this area provides nothing but a bird's eye view of the room below and the window's around. Some secure railing should keep any relaxing guests safe from slipping. It does not see those around the stairs or near the Game Room's door.

History Hall: A long hall featuring spotlighted moments of history in the momentous life time of the world. It's not wide but the walls are not scarce of information. There's a few cases of antiques from different eras, from neanderthal clubs to Japanese Katanas.

Future Hall: Ever wonder what the future looks like? Someone took a good guess at what they think the future would look like, from flying cars to personal customization after birth. There's some cases with props in them on this side too, but they can't be real, right?

Open Space: Naught but a chandelier with heavy looking chains hooked to the mouths of various Wulves. It'd take a beast of an effort to knock this thing down.

Library: Books galore, need I say more? There's plenty of neatly stacked books on the shelves with ladders to reach those at the top and some tossed onto the floor into piles and heaps. The alignment of bookcases in here makes it impossible to see from one side of the room to another, but climbing on top of a shelf gives a better view.

Idle Space: Just a bland room really, doesn't seem to be anything in here?

Left Bathroom: An ornate red colored bathroom with "M" marked on the door. Expect everything you'd find in a normal bathroom, but fancier.

Servant's Quarters: A larger but modest room for servant's to take breaks and sleep out the night in. It's as bland as you might expect, but it's also roomier than it looks. There's 3 bells in here that are tied into the wall off to somewhere else, and a speaker that seems to come from somewhere. There is a decent sized window that can see down into the Main Foyer.

Right Bathroom: An overly ornate purple colored bathroom with "W" marked on the door. It's got roughly the same things as the other bathroom, but it's much more gaudy in here.

Conservatory: Various plants and foliage grow up towards the skylight in here. There's also a small section caged off dedicated to raising birds of various breeds, both luxury and performance types. A small desk in the corner contains some paperwork and notes as well as a book that has pictures and details for identifying various plants.

Spoiler: Show

Theatre: A small practice stage, complete with props, lighting, and the occasional costume fill the far corner of this room, with the rest dedicated to more lazy entertainment such as watching the stage or enjoying the radio.

Game Room: If the Main Foyer is the heart of the party then the game room is it's stomach. Refreshments such as alcohol and carbonated beverages are set around the room for guests to enjoy, but most are focused around right side of the room where a small bar is attended by...nobody. The center of the room features dimly lit pool tables, smoke areas, some dart boards, and other various endeavours to pass the time.

Storage Room: Set to a stable low temperature, many foodstuffs are left in here so long as they have a long shelf life. Don't expect to find anything perishable in here.

Kitchen: Perhaps the least fancy room in the house, mostly servants come in here but occasionally a guest will come and visit. Standard utensils can be found in here and an icebox sits locked to keep it's precious perishables safe. A dumbwaiter lies open in the northeast corner accompanied by a Bell above it, and a string tied next to the opening.

Trophy Room: Animal heads, Picturesque vacations, everything you'd put in one room to show your guests and brag about how great you are. Some retired outfits from safari expeditions and other wilderness outings stand protected by the elements in glass cases, often with an accompanying tool next to them, such as a blunderbuss or grappling hook. There's an Artic camouflage uniform that seems fit for combat if not for the dark red stain on it's neck.

Main Foyer: A Vast room filled with bright light and fancy rugs to give guests the time of their life. A stage sits in the southeast corner for bands and performers to entertain guests, complete with sound and lighting equipment, but the controls seem busted right now. Some stairs down sit behind a door in the corner on the other side. Near the front entrance are some gorgeous flower arrangements and imposing looking suits of armor standing empty handed.

Dining Room: An opulent room second only to the Main Foyer. Filling most of the room is an incredible hardwood table with candles, fine china, and glittering silverware all set out for guests. The only thing missing in this room is a feast, but a lone dish in the middle lies covered with a silver dome.

Den: Similar to the den upstairs, guests will find a similarly room emphasized on comfort and chatting with guests. This room seems to have less furniture however and appears to have a higher decoration standard. One could assume this was meant for the more temporary guests as opposed to the aprty guests who would head upstairs.

Coat Room: A side room for guests to drop off their outdoor clothing and switch into something more comfortable. There still remains some discarded coats, hats, and other clothing, but nothing fancy.

Spoiler: Show

Master Bathroom: To accommodate for only one bathroom down here the Master Bathroom was set down here. Comes complete with everything a bathroom should have from showers, baths, to even a sauna in the corner. Like seriously, this bathroom is the ultimate bathroom. Just try and break it.

Hallway: It's the same as the other hallways except it's just slightly more decorated with dust.

Stock Room: If it isn't something you'd find in the kitchen or in storage, you'd find it here. Barrels, crates, and bags of who knows what lies around discarded instruments here. A dumbwaiter lies shut against the east wall. There is no bell, but there appears to be a place where there was one.

Showroom: A more secluded museum meant for storing antiques and curios. Some of it looks like garbage and some of it looks like poppycock. Anything from fake looking stone tablets with scribbles on them to balls of lord knows what lie in foggy glass cases. The room seems to have a sense of grandeur that it has lost over time of being unused.

???: Stuck in the middle of the Grand Hall is 4 walls. They tried to cover whatever it is with wallpaper and paint, but it's peeling away and revealing scratches, markings, and weird pictures.

Grand Hall: Other than the eyesore in the middle this square of halls has decorations fit for any creepy basement. Pictures that seem to follow you with their eyes, too many clocks, and was that suit of armor there before?

Trash Compactor: An empty room if you ignore the piles of trash crunched up into cubes. A large machine stands in the room that eats garbage fed into it and compacts it when given the command. The key is currently missing. There's also some scratch marks on the north end of this room.

Abandoned Room: Devoid of any lighting it's kind of hard to see what's in here. In fact, you can't.

Archives: Not so much archives as "all of this documentation had to go somewhere". There's desks. rolls, and file cabinets full of papers, but there's no organization to them, so you'll be guessing at anything you take. The entrance to the vault is in this room, but it's locked up tight. There appears to be no obvious way to open it.

Workshop: Far away from the noise of the party is a humble workshop outfitted with tools and materials for standard craft working. Anything from wood working to welding you can find in here, but supplies are limited. On one of the racks it appears that something long and pole shaped is already missing.

Vault: Who knows what valuables could lie inside. A secret weapon? Wealth beyond your dreams? Or is it already looted and just empty to put on a facade.

36 hours, as promised. So around 11:50pm May 1st.

What is the sword made of?

Does he have anything like grease on him?

Alright let's get started

You... can't really tell. It's pure white, and solid. But it's also a little sticky and slimy.
It's very deep. There's no question that this would kill someone living.
He has some grease on the bottom of his shoes, but that's it.

Oh yeah, I'd also like to take a close look at the body and it's wounds

There's a very obvious wound to his eye where he's impaled by the sword, but closer inspection shows that he's suffered bruising from a struggle, likely having been caught off guard and/or overpowered. There's no external wounds but you notice an interesting dent around his throat, suggesting his jugular was crushed and strangled.

Is bill's neck broken?

Alright guys, looks like mission accomplished. We can all pack up and go home. Or at least I'd like to say that but it looks like Bill was an actual player in the game and not a weird game construct so we gotta solve his murder? Let's finish this fight.

My prime directive for the night was the ultimate eye poke. I already had a sword ready, I just needed a nice triangle to put it in. Bruno wakes me up and in my groggy delirium I notice Bill in the kitchen and rush for him but someone in a Fox mask is blocking my path. As soon as I can get past them I rush at Bill and he's heading downstairs so I give chase. There's grease on these stairs and that slows me down but thanks to my superior graphics and amazing gameplay I'm able to get down safely. I head down the Hallway I spotted Bill go and there he is, waiting. On the ground. Lying there. I look around to make sure this isn't a scam and don't notice anyone trying to prank me so I take the freebie and shove my sword in his eye and seal the evil once and for all.

My mariopants sense is tingling which means I need to get out of there- Fast. Francis and I head up the stairs, noticing Bruno ate Shit due to the grease. Francis stays at the top of the stairs while I go on ahead. I hear people hiding??? and a big CRACK from downstairs??? What the hell is going on? (If you know what's going on, please reply below in the comments).

I don't really notice anything else as I head to my room and hide out from the Mariopants.

Is bill's neck broken?

It's damaged for sure but this is no Tom Clancy neck snap. It looks like someone had a firm grip around his throat and strangled the life out of them, crushing the wind pipe, while Bill struggled, unable to fend off his assailant.

NO, IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN THIS BE?! I CAN’T DIE, NOT WHEN THERE’S SO MANY PEOPLE I HAVEN’T GOTTEN TO ANNOY YET! OH GOD, WHAT HORRIBLE FATE IS IN STORE FOR ME! I CAN ALREADY SEE THE LI-

HA, FOOLED YA! DEATH FOR A BEING OF PURE ENERGY LIKE ME IS LIKE A MOSQUITO BITE! I’M ONLY GONE IN THE SENSE THAT I CAN’T TORMENT ANY OF YOU MORTALS PERSON ANYMORE, BUT I’LL STILL BE THERE IN THE SHADOWS! WHISPERING TO YOU IN BED! PAYING PERSONAL VISITS TO YOUR DREAMS! TAKING BLACKMAIL PHOTOS OF THOSE DISGUSTING THINGS YOU DO IN YOUR ROOM, REIGEN! AND SOON ENOUGH, WHEN I’VE RECOVERED ENOUGH ENERGY, I’LL BE ABLE TO-

Ciphy, wonderful timing! Congrats on dying again, by the way! Listen, turns out I have a eternally-damned-soul leak in my house, and I’m going to have to get a new crib. Could you help me move some of my furniture now that you’re not busy? It won’t take that long, only a decade or two!

...shit.

The demon is dead? I suppose even demons deserve a proper investigation.

Well, I awoke in the foyer, since that terrible explosion knocked me out there. Coffee was here, already awake. As a courtesy, I awoke Bill, Junko and Halo 2. Coffee headed downstairs, and I followed... ahah, only to slip down the stairs like an idiota and pass out. I woke with such a nasty headache... Regardless, I made it to the workshop, where Isabelle and Coffee were waiting. I'll spare you the details, but we managed to... pierce the vault, as a team. After a quick investiation, we left separately, Isabelle first, then myself, and I would presume Coffee last. In the grand hall... well, I had an altercation with a certain invisible Italian pants. His 「Stand」 was too much for me, so I fled upstairs. Reigen is in the Main Foyer, and someone is singing in the Game Room. We both notice each other and go our separate ways, when I am suddenly attacked again in the Dining Room. Well... perhaps that one should be water under the bridge as well, as they say. I returned to my room afterwards, noticing the History Hall Elevator seemed... tampered with? It is vague, but I'll assume tampered with due to the case notes.

@MarioPants why did you kill Bill?

bad memory

hide with brother from laser

see coffee in dreams

@The Dealer where bill put bird

@The Dealer where bill put bird

Bill has a bird in his pants. Practically dead at this point.

@The Dealer give bird cpr

@The Dealer give bird cpr

Do you take me for a doctor? I will do no such thing. Do it yourself.

okay

okay

i do

mariopants takes the bird and brings it to his other bird, which is eating some bugs in his room.
He then begins chirping at the other bird which begins chirping back.
After some back and forth the bird begins giving mouth to mouth while mariopants focuses on chest compressions.
Within minutes the near suffocated bird is back alive, albeit a little under the weather.
