Momoyo Himemushi
...What have you done?

Hollywood Bowl
Killed someone? Like the previous four nights?

Momoyo Himemushi
Not that, I expected that. But that! Above the chapel!

Agent Evangeline
That's... a golden star? Even visible at day. That's probably not a good thing.

Honoka Kosakatua
It's definitely not, but there's nothing much we can do about it right now. Maybe we should just focus on the case?

Momoyo Himemushi
Yeah... she's right, you should. Ignore the golden star and look over at the dead body, will you?

A body has been discovered! @Derek Stiles has been found dead on the Train Platform!

Spoiler: Show

You are the Ultimate Undertaker, and in your line of work, there's always business. Especially out here. With how many you've prepared for their final rest, you've often felt able to commune with them, and here? That's reached a new height. When wearing the clothing of a dead player, you may channel a partial imitation of their role. A hat, a shirt, pants, shoes, it doesn't matter as long as it's what they wore in life! In fact, you can channel up to three people during one night - though keep in mind, you'll need to be wearing clothes from all of your channeling targets, and you can't change channeling once you've started your night.

Forbidden Action: There are those in this game where you feel that something else has already laid claim to them, and you are not to interfere. If you ever wear any clothing from a dead NPC, by choice or force, you'll be needing your own coffin.

Agent Evangeline
So he really was the doctor... kind of. Unfortunate.

Hollywood Bowl
Well, I'm sure we can figure something out without him?

Honoka Kosakatua
Hopefully. Let's just jump into it.

Momoyo Himemushi
That's the spirit!

Orange Building

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.

Let's take a good look at Derek's body and the train platform.

Oh no, not the other Doctor...~

Examine the state of his body.

Doctor dead... Bud wish have wrestled with Under Taker.

Check his pockets

Stare into the pretty star.

...Can't say he didn't have it coming at this point, at least. His uh... history asides, I didn't seem him getting very far out here with one of his hands gone, anyway. Guess we don't have anyone for the fancy autopsies now though, huh?



I'll leave the murder to you guys for now though - first and foremost, let's get a look at that Chapel.

Partitio... what did you do?

Let's take a good look at Derek's body and the train platform.

Oh no, not the other Doctor...~

Examine the state of his body.

You examine Derek's body. He is lying on his back with blood pooled around his head, his feet to the north and his head to the south. He's on the west end of the Train Platform, the open area that doesn't have any of the actual building to it, just the elevated platform; the Caboose is on the tracks at his general position.

You examine his injuries. He is missing his right hand, covered in some sort of gel, has five bullet wounds in his side, left arm, left shoulder, back, and right eye going through the back of his skull, some bruises and cuts to his left side, and a few light burns.

Check his pockets

You rummage through his inventory. He has $2 in old coins, a photograph of Cascabela, a striker, Jessica's leg brace, some matches, a brace affixed to his right hand with an attached handgun, some tear gas, Tsavorae's necktie, Neil's prosecutor's badge, and a fake key made of a potato.

There are no symptions of Forbidden Action poisoning.

Stare into the pretty star.

You stare into the golden star. It hovers fixedly above the Chapel, with a faint, enticing glow. You feel like you might be able to hear a voice at the very, very back of your skull, but it's far too faint to understand.

...Can't say he didn't have it coming at this point, at least. His uh... history asides, I didn't seem him getting very far out here with one of his hands gone, anyway. Guess we don't have anyone for the fancy autopsies now though, huh?



I'll leave the murder to you guys for now though - first and foremost, let's get a look at that Chapel.

Partitio... what did you do?

You examine the Chapel. There's the hole, with Reginald's body dangling from a noose within it. A stepladder sits next to it, and the left side of the room has been damaged by an explosion. The ox is here, looking confused. Someone has painted DON'T DO IT in big letters on the altar.

Also, the outside of the Chapel is scorched, and someone has carved 1873 into it.

"Hey, I know it's suuuper weird to start watching a movie from the ending Not to mention it's not even fucking edited yet, who wants to see a bunch of bad takes so badly? but we got some really cool footage for the amazing climax of the film last night~! That and we might've recorded the rea fatal gunshot but do I look like I give a shit about that freak Derek? Mister Bowl, do you wanna screen it for everyone so they can take a looksie themselves~?"

Hollywood Bowl
Sure thing. I haven't gotten to edit it yet, so it'll just be a hodgepodge of takes, but let's watch it.

Hollywood Bowl screens his footage from Night 5. It's several takes of a climactic showdown in the Plot, featuring North Star as the gallant lone gunslinging hero, Akira as the stoic damsel in danger, and McJango as the dastardly villain out to ruin everything. Lots of slow pans, dramatic close-ups, and no-dialogue shots, covering the staredown, the shootout, and the finish, where the damsel is rescued and gives the hero a big kiss. Besides the three stars, Honoka and Bud can be seen in several of the takes, Bud at a beehive just above the Plot and Honoka staying on the fringes.

Near the end of the footage, about when the kiss scene is being done, there's a gunshot audible to the southeast. Everyone looks in that direction for a minute, but nothing comes of it, and the footage continues until the movie work is done.

Take his money

Take his money

You loot him.

He now has $0 in old timey money.

You do this.

You find nothing new of significance in most of the dead rooms.

However, you find that Pohatu's pillow has a new, visibly wet case, and in Deathborn's room lies a black cloak covered in gel, with a few burns, and an old-timey lighter lying next to it.

Wow, everyone freaking hated that Derek guy, huh?

Well, I did see him earlier, alive style. Let me regale you with my day of Strong Baddery...

First, I wandered around outside, getting a jog in, and I saw Nico Yazawa hanging out at the Army Post. I jogged around some more and saw the Ranger as I perused the Sheriff's Office for a bit, and then I headed down the street.

I mosey over to the Blacksmith, passing Partito between the Orange and Yellow buildings. On my way in, I see Ace Ventura in Carpentry. I hung out at the Blacksmith for a while, doing some more metallurgy. Gotta get my freakin' smithing skills up to 99 so I can unlock a cape, or so I'm told. Bud is in here working as usual too, and a still-alive Derek Stiles are working. After some time working, I depart, having a couple of Cold Ones, which may uh, have affected my memory of things from this point. You can't stop a Brother Strong from chugging on a Cold One, they always say!

I think I took a bath in the water tower, or something? While I was up there hot tubbing it like the guy from Wild Wild West...uh...Will Smith! Anyway, while I was being Will Smith mode, I saw a lot of dudes hanging out at the Plot. Akira, Hollywood Bowl, Honoka, North Star, and McJango. I almost dozed off in the tub, but then I heard a lot of gunshots, looked out, and saw Derek Stiles on the train platform, mortally wounded.

After witnessing this brutality, I could no longer idly stand by in the psuedo-hot tub. So I decided to idly stand by near the outhouses instead, passing Ace Ventura on my way back near the Blacksmith. I hang out there for a while, hoping to pull a funny prank, but unfortunately nobody rolls by, so I head to bed.

Can we discern anything about what angle the shots hit Derek at? Roughly level with him, from below him, or from above him?

That cloak is... familiar. That gel though, and those burns... If I drape it over Derek's body, do the burn marks match up? Does the gel appear to be the same as this?

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you have the required medical knowledge to determine something as detailed as this.

If only you had a doctor.

You throw it over Derek's body.

The burns seem similar, and the gel is of the same kind.

"Meow!"

McJango meows happily as he paws the button. You can tell he is excited to tell you about his night! The screen flashes the text 'Mobster'.
-
"Hey, how ya doin'? The name's 'Heavy Boy' Mcjango, but you can call me McJango , capisce?

So, tonight I’m thinkin' I oughta score a little somethin’ special for my gal Cascabela, since she's a bit on the shy side, ya know? Figured I'd score her a gift, so I hit the stables lookin' for somethin' nice. I let out a little meow to the ponies and got down to business chasin' a local rodent. Take that, you little rat!

I grab my little gift, headin' to Cascabela's dorm, and toss the mouse on her bed. Can’t wait for us to be like two peas in a pod!



As I make my exit, I bump into my pal Bud down by the ol' Plot, and spot Partitio hangin' out by the western cliffs. I gotta hand it to Bud, the guy's a muscle machine bustin' his knuckles buildin' something fancy. I let out a little 'meow' to cheer him on and he gives me a friendly pat on the dome before I swing over to the Saloon.

I stroll to the joint, head upstairs, and there’s Lynne chattin' it up with Zhen. I see her whippn up some grub and I'm so freakin' hungry, I could eat a whole meatball factory! Thankfully she hooks me up with some grub. She's a real gem.


Before ya know it, we are joined by Akira, Honoka, and Mr big shot North Star Looks like they’re cookin’ somethin’ big in Hollywood and need a leading man. I ain’t here to just sit pretty, so I jump on board their film crew.

I head out with the crew and spot two wiseguys Hollywood Bowl and Not Shanejawin' by the paper stand. Akira, the smooth talker, convinces Hollywood Bowl to roll with us. Before he can join, that slick tool Partitio shows up with a stepladder, and they bounce to the lobby to handle some business. When Hollywood Bowl is back, we head over to the plot and I see my goodfella Bud's still busy buildin' somethin'.

And just like that, it’s showtime!



I played da bad guy in the flick! If ya ask me, I nailed it. Then just when North Star was gonna plant one on Akira, BAM! A loud bang echoes, like a cannon goin' off in da distance... Who the hell coulda done that?

As we call it a night, I hoof it back to the pad to catch some shut-eye...... But the gears are spinnin' thinkin' 'bout Cascabela! Fingers crossed she digs my present!!

Hey, also what’s with these rumors I’m packin’ on the pounds, huh???? Listen, I ain't no meatball, capisce?
