It seems I've finally bit off more than I could chew. Tonight's events were not as extensive as I was planning, but I wouldn't let someone confuse that for "uneventful", to put it mildly.

It was when I woke up that I realized that a trip with much dining on fine cuisine and little physical activity could only bring harm unto me, so I decided a jog around the Staff Building would be best. During my laps, I saw such sights as Solus going down the Staff Building's new hole; Lasagna Cat going up the outside stairs; and Tsumugi Shirogane leaving the Break Room with Gordon. Breaking a sweat in an Armani suit wasn't ideal, so I cut my exercise short and headed towards the Kitchen Set, with Makoto choosing to accompany me from the Break Room. Makoto didn't last long in the basement until she slipped and fell on a puddle, and after noticing Guy Fieri borrowing some wine from the cellar, I procure the ingredients for a delectable beef tongue lengua soup and left for the Competition Kitchen, passing by Tatsu on the stairs.

After Makoto also entered the kitchen, I was starting on my recipe as I noticed Hurderer coming in from the corner of the eye. He was simply idling, an action which in retrospect reminds me of a predator stalking his prey. During all of this, Tatsu passed through the room, and Makoto eventually left for the Store Set. It was just as I was about to pull my tongue (that is, the beef tongue) out of the oven when I suddenly heard footsteps crashing towards me, followed by something being pulled over my face; as my vision was fading, I came to the conclusion it had to have been chloroform, before I passed out altogether.

I was not sure how long I was incapacitated, but when I returned to the world of the living (I could have sworn I saw a figure rushing around a corner as I was waking up, but even if this wasn't a hallucination, I certainly couldn't make out any features), I was surrounded by quite the sight. The cubicles around me implied I ended up in the Offices, or at least what was left of the room. Any semblance of order had been eradicated, with chairs toppled, potted plants shattered, and papers littered all about the place. I eventually noticed a trail of blood standing out in the chaos, and I followed it into Gordon's Office only to find out that its source was none over than Hurderer Lecter, who appeared to have been the worse for wear. Besides the bruising that polka-dotted his body, a knife was erected from his shoulder, and half of his face was tinted with a sickly violet. Surely, he was dead. Almost fitting, in a way. A scene reminiscent of God punishing Cain for betraying his brother....not that I'm still entirely positive we were of the same blood.

I'm not the type to linger and mourn, so after brushing myself off, I return to the Kitchen to finish my dish, just as Saul Goodman barged in with the Goose hot on his tail. I left the Kitchen, noticing Tsumugi and Luthier exiting the Offices, and go upstairs to the Animal Pen to retrieve an octopus for the next night's dish. I return downstairs, and the last person I witness before I return to my bed is Guy Fieri making himself rather comfortable in the Break Room.

Truly unfortunate timing....it is imperative that I cooperate with my fellow players as much as I can. After all, there's no doubt they'll jump on this like ravenous hyenas as an opportunity to send me to the gallows. It seems this is going to be the ultimate test of their trust in me, no?

Gordon's Office seems relatively untouched, compared to the ruckus in the main offices. Hurderer is located right inside the entrance to the room, lying on his back with his feet at the threshold and the rest of his body inside.

Well, now you guys have done it. Mr. Ramsay has had a tough time the last few nights, was murdering someone in his office really necessary? I'm sorry this happened, Mr. Ramsay. I'll do my best to help catch this criminal...

I woke up, and immediately walked over to DRAKU's bed, and...let's just say I really had to go. Also, I have issues, and he really annoyed me yesterday. Can you blame me? I headed out to the break room afterwards, seeing LUTHIER and GORDON talking. Luthier headed out to the east, while LASAGNA CAT went out towards the west, and I went to talk to Gordon to see if he needed anything tonight. He tasked me with protecting Luthier tonight once I got finished with my plans, and I agreed. We left together, seeing HANNIBAL jogging around the staff building as we exited. Gordon went towards the hallway, though, while I took the exterior stairs and headed straight for costuming as I wanted a duck outfit tonight...

...but that wasn't happening. When I got there, LASAGNA CAT was already in the process of burning the room down. I just stared for a while, not knowing what to say. Though deep down, I knew this was likely at some point. He eventually left to the east, and I snapped out of it and looked at the wreckage. The duck costumes where already gone, but I was able to save one of the more normal shirts. I took it, but I just ended up staying as Tsumoogi for the night. Oh well...

After running out to make sure I didn't get burnt to a crisp myself, I headed up to the roof and over into the staff building, where I went to the bar and swiped every ice pick I could find. I headed right back the way I came, and noticed that costuming was still burning. I sadly went downstairs to the store set and then headed into the competition kitchen.

TATSU was cooking something here, and I ended up running into LASAGNA CAT yet again, this time by KAGA'S corpse. I was about to fight him over it, but he told me he would cremate Kaga if I helped him film something. As annoyed as I was, my intention WAS to burn Kaga's body over a mountain of ice picks anyway, so I hesitantly agreed. He handed me the camera and well, you've already seen the result. Tatsu indeed left very early. I don't blame him. At the end, he threw Kaga in a pit outside, and I threw the ice picks in too, and Lasagna Cat set the whole thing on fire. As Kaga and the ice picks burned, I felt the desire to wave my arms in the air and chat something.

The chant exactly? I don't know why, but it reminds me of...sloths, for some reason...

At any rate, I did what Gordon had asked me to do earlier and went looking for LUTHIER, finding him in the garage. I went with him towards the offices, but we're interrupted by DIONA, who asked us to drink with her. Considering that I did falsely accuse her during the last trial, it wouldn't hurt to try to make it up to her. We drank together for a while, before me and Luthier went back to our destination.

When we got into the offices, though, it wasn't a pretty sight. The entire place was a wreck, and when we looked in Gordon's office, HURDERER was lying on the ground, dead. Luthier and I shared a grimace, as he called GORDON to let him know. Though I didn't hear the entire conversation, I heard enough to know that Gordon wasn't very happy. But honestly, why would he be? Who wants a dead guy in their office? I escorted Luthier to bed afterwards, seeing ROMAN FIERI in the break room while I was there. Then, I headed down to the new basement to check on staff utilities, just to make sure the goose wasn't messing with.

However, the room had been shut down for the night, but you know what? For once, that's actually really helpful. Thank you, health department! At least something went well tonight. With that, I went back to the break room - Fieri had left now - and went to sleep for the evening.

Oh, and I didn't attempt tonight, but I also didn't want the key tossed into the ocean, so I planned to hide it and it worked out. I had to hand over one of my costumes to Angie instead, though. You will be missed, Dark Souls armor.

At this point it feels like this Atua fellow himself is placing these murders right next to my shenanigans.

I began what should've been a boring night of fuckery like anyone would, reclaiming what is mine.

I woke up, passed by Gordo and Luthier having an oddly pleasant chat. What happened to " I don't want to see a single one of you goddamn donkeys tonight."?

I respected his boundaries and passed by Lasagna Cat on the way to the pool to retrieve my cart once more. Tatsu was also there admiring our handiwork, we passed by with no incidents thankfully. Someone is drinking his respect women juice.

I took my cart over to the bar, noticing Draku passed out on the floor of the Staff Bathroom. Guy cannot catch a break lately i almost feel bad.

I grabbed some delightful drinks to serve on the go and loaded them into my cart. Saul Goodman went to go join Draku during this time.

I decided to serve my drinks in a more central location tonight as the bar isn't very popular these days. In passing i notice Gregg having a lovely little workout session, gotta keep fit to stay safe in these trying times.

I set up camp in the Hallway in order to hopefully catch some people passing by, Hallways are inherently well traveled. I snipped into the Cafeteria to grab some hotdogs in memory of our dearly departed Nemechef who previously owned my cart but now its mine. I noticed Lita leaving the offices and she was just so lovely that i decided to finally settle down right outside.

I waited a bit and my first customer strolled by, A very much alive and disheveled Hurder dragging his very much unconscious and disheveled brother and/or cousin Hannibal! I'm not one to judge a potential customer and invited him to drink. He fidgeted like a man who was interrupted trying to something sneaky and possibly murderous before finally excusing himself to the Office still dragging his cousin and/or brother.

After they entered it was't long before they began to make quite the racket in there. Still not one to judge i waited patiently till Makoto showed up and we had a very pleasant drink together. After the noise ended Makoto had to get going to the Garage to do important things most likely.

I continued my duties till Tsumugi and Luthier passed by and we proceeded to have a lovely drink as well. Alas they had to get going to the Offices not long after.

Those were my last patrons of the evening so i packed up my cart and headed to bed. Roman Fieri looked very comfortable as i passed by him in the Breakroom.

I'd like to further examine the bruises on Hurderer's body. Where are they on the body? What shape/size are they? Are there any distinctive patterns I, an idiot laywoman, would notice?

I'd like to set the office back up and see if I can hide anywhere well enough to where someone passing through and even spending some time in here may not notice. I would like to do the same in Gordon's Office as well, provided I can see inside the regular offices from my hiding space.

While I am at it, what do the security room cameras look like? Where are they again?

Finally, comb the Offices and Gordon's office for any secret passages.

They seem to be mostly large area bruises, ones that look more like the body hitting an object than being hit with an object. No real pattern or shape to them. They're on Hurderer's back and front about evenly.

It appears that there's enough space in the Offices to hide behind a couple of the desks when they're intact, though if someone explored the Offices your cover would be blown. You can only really hide from the west area where the entrances and Gordon's Office are, though someone who did not go into the east area would miss you.

As for Gordon's Office, all you could do is hide behind Gordon's desk, and that only lets you see the area of the Offices that leads directly to Gordon's Office.

The security cameras cover the Garage, Awards Gallery, Food Storage, Equipment, and Breakroom. A sixth feed has no signal.

You thoroughly check the Offices and Gordon's Office, knocking on doors and even moving Nemechef's corpse aside. No passages.

The blood trail is mostly made of drops. They get smaller and more spread apart from the start up to Hurderer's body, where there's the pooling of blood around his shoulder.

Thank you very much. Now, an experiment.

First, I will fetch two corpses, as well as a living volunteer. After I stab one corpse in the shoulder, I have my assistant carry it upright and slowly walk backwards, a mimicry of stumbling. My assistant will start parallel to the start of the original blood trail, and finally place the cadaver down immediately after entering Gordon's Office, right next to Hurderer.

As for the other corpse, this one will also be stabbed, but this time, I will do so while it is lying down, and I would drag it until it's parallel to the other two bodies.

Which of these two new blood trails bears the closer resemblance to the one left by Hurderer?

Solus zos Galvus
I would like to grab a prop knife from the prop room, one of those fanciful ones with the retracting gimmick blade.

Can I stab myself in the shoulder at the exact angle of Hurderer' s wound?

You run these two tests on Nemechef and King Radical.

Of the two blood trails you created, the first one is what comes closer to the one in the Offices.

You gank yourself in the shoulder, except not really.

It seems like you could if you tried.

I for one, believe it to be a Suicide. Knowing the motive of the previous night, Hurderer dragged Hannibal into the offices and staged a loud fight, throwing himself around the room violently to appear as though he was beaten. Taking advantage of the fact that many would pursue the "Forbidden Action" lead, he then plunged the knife into his shoulder, and embraced the cold abyss that lay beyond Ramsay's door.

A rather grandiose end, I must admit.

Is there any notable difference in the blood... wetness between the blood on the floor and on the Harlequin costume? Moreover, where is the blood on the costume and how much is there?

No differences in that regard.

There's some splotches, and they're all on the front of the costume.

Tonight on Triple D we did some Wine and Dine Toga style!
After all its like my momma always said "Omo de panza, omo de sostanza!"

Hanging up the old detective pipe, we are going Roman style tonight with some fine fashion and questionable drink choices!

To fully get into the mood I start my night my heading to the Competition kitchen and getting myself a goblet fit for king!
The only thing missing is a little liquid grape, also known as wine by the few in the know. Thus I made my way downstairs to get something fruity and fitting for my particular cultural mood..

I take my time checking the wine rack for something just ....right.... while Hannibal and Mokoto head down and interrupt my private affairs of picking a wine. I watch as Mokoto has a Greek tragedy by slipping on a puddle and falling face face into the ground.... woof.

From here I feel...lethargic..... It's been 5 days since I've been in this place and yet I ...GUY FIERI... have found no new dinners, drive-ins, or dives... how will my legacy live on???

That sounds like a problem for tomorrow... for tonight... I drink. Heading to the Break Room I lay on the couch drinking my wine from my goblet, as I let the night play on for my amusement.

As the first act I see the yard bird chasing Goodman from the east up The Stairs.

From there I watch Gordon go from the west to The Stairs. ...

Rubber Duck go from the west to the Staff Dorm...

Tastu go from the west to the Chef Dorm..., and then Diona go west to the Staff Dorm...

As some Solus comes down the stairs heads East. , before heading back to the Chef Dorm..., a little after.

Hannibal then later on Lita both come west and head to the Staff Dorm...

Gordon comes down the stairs and heads to the Chef Dorm...,
Angie comes west and walks to the Chef Dorm...,

Goodman comes west and walks to Staff Dorm...

Greg west to the Chef Dorm...,

Then Luthier and Tsumugi walk in together and luther heads to the Chef Dorm..., while tsumugi heads East.

After the counting, the wine, or the time i grow tired and head myself to the dorms to sleep!

Tomorrow I find my Legacy!!!!!

Blood from all nights except the previous night, currently being investigated, has dried by now and cannot be told apart.

Blood from the previous night is still fresh, and identifiable as recent.

I carve letters into Hurderer's chest. If I end up getting any blood on my front, would it be similar to how the blood presents itself on the costume?
