See? You don't need me enforcing this in person. You still kill people as long as i'm just observing!

Honoka Kosakatua
I'm just glad I wasn't sitting right there.

Agent Evangeline
I take it we missed something?

Hollywood Bowl
Looks like it. I'm not complaining, though.

A body has been discovered! @Neil Marshall has been found dead in the Saloon!

You are the Ultimate Circuit Judge, though some might call you the Ultimate Hanging Judge or the Ultimate Crooked Judge... not that you let those insults bother you. After all, the legal system was designed to be played, and criminals were meant to be punished! Thanks to those beliefs, for each Guilty lynch that occurs, you obtain one piece of fake evidence you can create. You can use them as you'd like, whether it be several pieces for one attempt, one per night throughout the game, or even using them for non-attempt purposes - any fake evidence tied to an attempt that doesn't roll will be reused, but on an attempt that rolls or a non-attempt purpose it's used up permanently. Additionally, riding circuit is a tough, annoying, and exhausting procedure, but it prepares you for a lot. You have greater durability than other players - it takes a lot more to KO you.

Forbidden Action: You need to appear above the law to remain a proper judge. You can't enter the Jail Cell in any way or at any time. The one exception is if you're sent to the Jail Cell as a result of being an accomplice, but outside of that, don't set a single foot in there!

Hollywood Bowl
Ooooh, yeah. That one looks unpleasant.

Agent Evangeline
Nothing to do but to go for it, then. The faster we get this over with, the faster I can follow up.

Honoka Kosakatua
But doesn't it take the same amount of time no matter what?

Agent Evangeline
Well, yes, but still.

Momoyo Himemushi
Don't worry, I can still give you case files even from up here!

Army Post: A well-equipped military depot, with everything from rations to weapons that a handful of soldiers might need.

Blue Building
Lobby: This building is fully modern, unlike the old-timey other five buildings. The glass-walled lobby full of plush chairs to sit in is a great example.

Farrier: A small shop containing everything one could need to take care of a horse properly.
Stable: A stable currently inhabited by four horses. Whoever stocked them was cheeky enough to pick a red horse, a black horse, a white horse, and a pale gray horse.

Plot: A roped off and well-tilled plot of land. Community garden in progress.
Outhouse Crater: There was a bathroom here. It's gone now.

Second Floor: Show

Purple Building
Officer's Club: A fancy bar meant for army officers. With the lack of those in the vicinity, it's become open to all.

Restaurant: A nice restaurant, complete with a small kitchen. Unimpressive compared to the OCGA Central Facility.
Gambling Parlor: A smoke-filled room set up for all sorts of games of chance and luck.

Orange Building
Doctor's Office: A basic doctor's office, for taking care of injuries in the West. Contains various doctor's tools, a cot, and a locked medicine cabinet.

Pharmacy: With plenty of cheap drugs, nothing here is as good as the medicine in the Doctor's Office, but it can still come in handy.
Target Range: A shooting gallery set up to practice your gunplay. If you didn't bring your own, it's got plenty of guns and ammo ready to go.

Aw man, I liked him...

Examine the state of the body closely.

Also examine the area in the Saloon where he was found.

Check the two new outhouses (carefully, in case they explode)

Check out the target range

NEIL! Woah there, what've they done to you?! Just when we were-Tsk! If only I'd been-.

Psh, ain't no use bemoanin' what coulda been, 'specially when every pal I mine's droppin' faster than a boozehound on New Year's...

Neil, I'm gonna do you right, pal.

Investigate the Saloon stage.

You FOOLSSS. He was one of the only attracti-...useful men here. Alasss...

Hmm. Let us examine the inventory of the deceased.

Autopsy before that cuck Jessica can do it

You examine Neil's body, and the area where he is, which is a bunch of seats set up to view the Saloon stage. Neil is severely burned, and there's some shards of glass scattered near him. You also find a lighter lying in the charred section, and plenty of ashes.

Check the two new outhouses (carefully, in case they explode)

You check out the two new outhouses. They are each like the old outhouse. A pit in the ground and a shack over it. They're located to the west of the Yellow Building, between that and the top-right of the Water Tower and right by the entrance to the Stable. It appears these outhouses, unlike the original, have been traditionally gendered.

Momoyo Himemushi
Feel free to use the one that matches your preference, or just ignore the signs entirely. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Check out the target range

You check out the target range. There's a lot of concessions - sandwiches, more sandwiches, and beef jerky.

Investigate the Saloon stage.

You investigate the Saloon's stage. It's a small elevated area in the upper right of the Saloon, designed for performances. There's a window in the north wall behind the stage, and a couple speakers for increased volume of those on stage.

You FOOLSSS. He was one of the only attracti-...useful men here. Alasss...

Hmm. Let us examine the inventory of the deceased.

You examine Neil's inventory. He possesses the following:
-Some old newspapers
-An old railroad timetable
-A railroad stationmaster's badge
-A document talking about the Buck-Eye Gang
-A document that appears to talk about a movie shoot done here in 1967
-A document talking about the history of the Phoenix & Tuscon line as it relates to Silver Junction

Autopsy before that cuck Jessica can do it

You beat that cuck Jessica to an autopsy. Upon closer inspection, you find that Neil also has a nasty bruise on his upper back.

You FOOLSSS. He was one of the only attracti-...useful men here. Alasss...

Hmm. Let us examine the inventory of the deceased.

...C'mon, that's not very nice of you, lady...



Anyway, now's not the time, I guess... Let's check out those glass shards while we can. Do they look like they're from a bottle? A window? Compare them to anything behind the bar while we're at it.

JESSICA
(Neil is dead...? He's the one who tried to fight Momoyo, right? What do I do... what do I do... what do I do...)


O-oh, wait, I can autopsy him! Leave it to me...!

Autopsy before that cuck Jessica can do it

...
Could I examine his bruise more closely?

I have an agenda today. May I investigate the bedrooms of Tsavorae and Deathborn?

Sniffa the Saloon, and in particular the fragments around Neil. Does it just all smell like alcohol or like, Saloon-y or is there anything out of place? Does the area around Neil's body or any of the bottle fragments and the like smell different?

Glassss shards, and a lighter on the floor...Perhaps the assailant bonked poor Neil on the back with some sort of liquor bottle, then ssset him aflame?

Fetch the corpse of the noisy one, and smack him on the back with a bottle of liquor. How does the bruise look?

Doing some examination, it looks like these are shards that would be from a bottle.

I have an agenda today. May I investigate the bedrooms of Tsavorae and Deathborn?

You check these two bedrooms. Deathborn's seems to be untouched, except for a radio sitting on top of it. Tsavorae's bed is missing the sheets, and has a radio on top of it.

Sniffa the Saloon, and in particular the fragments around Neil. Does it just all smell like alcohol or like, Saloon-y or is there anything out of place? Does the area around Neil's body or any of the bottle fragments and the like smell different?

You get to sniffa. The saloon smells like booze. Unsurprisingly. However, when you smell the area around Neil's body and the shards, that smells different. You can't be sure what it is without a comparison check, but you can be pretty sure it's not the scent of alcohol.

...
Could I examine his bruise more closely?

You give the Noise's corpse a huge smack with a bottle, and use your DOCTOR KNOWLEDGE to compare the bruises, accounting for the differences between the living and the dead. They look about the same, with the exception that Neil's bruise seems slightly lighter.

It's like Humpty Dumpty. Best you can do is the comparison check from earlier.

What kind of radios are they, just like, radio tuner listening sets or walkie talkies/two-way radios/transcievers?

What kind of radios are they, just like, radio tuner listening sets or walkie talkies/two-way radios/transcievers?

Looks like they're walkie-talkies. Military-grade, even.

Thinking on flammable liquids which could be contained in a bottle...

Is the Explosives Storage open? If so, does the smell of any TNT in the room seem similar to the smell around Neil?. If it's still closed, since the goal is to sniff for toluene, check any stain removers in Laundry instead.

In fact, to be safe, check the scents of any detergents or softeners in Laundry against the scent around Neil.

Additionally, check Carpentry for any Linseed oil and compare it to the scent around Neil, too..

Grab a holy symbol from the chapel.

Check the Noise's bedroom for... evidence... while holding up the holy symbol as a ward.

Explosives Storage is firmly locked.

You check the Laundry materials, and Linseed oil in carpentry, both. You find no results from either one.

Grab a holy symbol from the chapel.

Check the Noise's bedroom for... evidence... while holding up the holy symbol as a ward.

You grab yourself an Ambiguously Generic Holy Symbol from the chapel, noticing with some interest there's nothing more specific there.

You throw open the privacy curtains around the Noise's bed.

AAAAAND...

There are no bodily waste products, regardless of orifice. Or anything else new. Like it's still beat to shit and it still has the tunnel below it, but it's otherwise unchanged from the previous day.
