"To answer your question, William, yes, the puddle of blood is Simon's doing, from his attempts to resurrect Charlie. The pills near the door are the ones I threw at Ryan a few nights ago.
As for my own investigations, I shall speak of those momentarily, since there was some quite interesting stuff found...but first, an explanation as to why I hit Simon, since you all seem sooooo interested, by way of my actions for the night.
For the first action, I desired to become as shitfaced as possible over the night, so I decided to steal Santa's alcohol. Simon was also there, trying to comfort the bawling mess that was the jolly drunk guy, and Steve was also present. After snatching the booze from Santa, I went over to chat with Steve.
He was acting weird, his face covered in bruises - why, I don't know - and asked me to meet him in the Workshop in Action five.
Since I'm not a suicidal moron like some of you, I decided that, if I was going to indeed meet with Steve, I wanted to bring a witness, just in case. Since I had provided him with an alibi and aid through several nights, I THOUGHT Simon was the best option, since we supposedly had some form of trust going on. I asked him to meet me in the Workshop in Action 4, to which he agreed.
Santa got a hold of himself and, upon seeing Steve, went to talk to him. About what, I don't know, but seems it was serious, going of Steve's face.
Oh, and Alice came in at some point or other. Drinking coffee.
For action three, I decided to partake of some good old dutch courage, and sat next to Alice to drink my newly acquired beer. She, Simon, Santa and Steve all decided to leave at his point, so I sat along and tested to beer, after examining it a bit to make sure it hadn't been fucked with. I promptly spat it out because it was fucking disgusting.
Action 4, I went to the workshop to meet with Simon, who was already there. This is where shit starts to get real. Despite the room looking as it had done for a while now - like a fucking slaughterhouse - Simon and I noticed something had indeed changed...and that was the door to Santa's office. It was only by a margin, but it was unmistakable that it was now open.
Action 5, since I wanted to wait to see if Steve would actually turn up and didn't want to go into a potential death trap on my own, I asked Simon to wait with me. And what does he do? HE FUCKS OFF.
THAT is why I punched you, Simon - I thought I could actually TRUST YOU, something I have shown ain't natural to me, and that you'd back me up after all the shit of the last few nights. Because you know what? For the first time in this whole shebang, I was actually FUCKING SCARED of being alone, and wanted someone I actually considered a FRIEND nearby.
But no, you left."
Inhale.
Exhale.
"Since I was clearly on my own, for action six I took the plunge and went into the office. I didn't get much of a look around, enough to see a bed, a bookshelf, a glass case, and that one side of the room was taken up by monitoring equipment of some kind....before I upchucked in the middle of the room. The stench in there was far worse than the workshop, and I found out why in my investigations...
As for my investigations...I might still have some things to figure out, but here's what I found so far, starting with Merk's room.
The bedside cabinet and the wardrobe currently don't reveal any form of tampering, so most likely not related to the crime, I think. As for the bed, the sheet on it was perfectly placed, so seems it hasn't been used tonight, suggesting either Merk wasn't in there to sleep or made the bed after sleeping.
After that, I moved on to the area around the bodies. Since I left the autopsies to other people, I merely gave them a quick glance - Merk was on the bottom, lying face down horizontally, while Steve was on top, led vertically, also face down, with his feet pointing towards the door.
Next, the murder weapon - a short-edged kitchen knife. Not particularly intimidating, but deadly if used right. Interestingly, near the body was some writing in blood. which read "Mole - U". Not completely sure on the meaning of this, but....well. I doubt it's referring to the animal...
Next, the door, which was lying on the floor in the entrance, the chain lock ripped off the door and still engaged. Merk's room key was still in the lock.
Finally, the other interesting thing - the light switch had a bloody fingerprint on it.
Now....Santa's office. Man, is this one a mindfuck area.
First the least interesting things. The glass case was padlocked shut, but clearly empty, and bore the inscription "The Spear of Friendship". Turning around, I noticed a ladder and a rock by the door, which had been blocked from view in my night because of the way to door opened.
Next off, the counter with the monitoring equipment. It's pretty clearly what The Grinch was using to keep an eye on us all, because I could see everyone investigating when I looked at it. There was also a microphone on it, switched off.
Besides this was a recorder, which had some VERY interesting stuff recorded on it, by none other than the Grinch himself. To quote what was said -
"For the fat idiot, you cannot do anything to stop me. I'm the Grinch! Do not expect to be able to treat me like just a bad kid, I won't tolerate that. The killing game will continue. I have put you a bracelet on you that injects poison, which will trigger when I press a button. If no one kills, Santa dies again! Do keep that in mind! Thanks Zero guy, for letting me steal your gifts!"
Hmhm. I think we'll have quite a few things to talk about this trial...
But that wasn't even the most interesting thing! No, not by a longshot! I next decided to check to bed, where the smell was even worse. The bed itself didn't seem important, so I looked under it and - well, I'm not embarrassed to admit that the sight made me puke again.
We have a third corpse. ladies and gentlemen!
Yes, that's right. Under the bed was a badly decomposed body, likely dead for several days now, killed seemingly by multiple stab wounds to the head and chest. I didn't recognise the guy, other than it was a...shall we say, obese male, so big I'm surprised he fit under the bed, and his face was covered in cuts.
So...don't we all have a LOT of FUN things to talk about tonight, hmm?!"
