Good evening.



This is User not found: inspector thorpe again, of the Ziara City Police Department, and I am here to bring you all up to speed on the investigation into the murder of User not found: vernon yun. As you can imagine the interview process is a slow one, if one hopes to be thorough. The good news is that I have narrowed the list down to a few key individuals. For the time being, User not found: jules yun, User not found: isaac yun, User not found: victoria ventura, User not found: adriette lockwell, User not found: garret fox and User not found: marcel martenez have been sequestered to a private room for continued questioning. I am confident that I am close to solving this case.



Since this is an ongoing investigation, and I may need to speak to any of you at a moment's notice, I ask that you remain in the ballroom for the time being. Thank you for your cooperation.

I hope its not jules I like him <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
Yay ... i´ve found all items<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
And I JUST got the Ballroom Property Manager Note the very next time I looked. xD Yay~lol
What's this? Your search turns up a Page 1 from Vernon's Journal.
FINALLY, up until now all I had was the key and I'm sure that doesn't count.
@unwritten_one

I apologize. I DID sound unintentionally catty just now.
I am far from clicking each spot just once and giving up. I've been trying since last night when the news was released and have clicked each spot at least 20 times.
See, the problem is, you're all just clicking the spots one time and giving up. You gotta actually have the patience to click a certain area multiple times, and then seeing if you turn up anything. To my surprise, this method IS effective, since I have all the items already.
Yay ... i´ve found my first item in the study <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I haven't found anything yet...haha. That's my typical luck, though.
I found one thing so far .... I'm extremly unlucky <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I found everything but the Mining Permit. And I know I have looked pretty much everywhere.
Do we need anything besides the key to find stuff in the study or is it just extremely rare to find something? Or am I just really unlucky?
Is there a list of the things people have found so far? I got: Cogwork Key, Ballroom Property Manager Note, Wrenchett Toy, Mining Permit, Vernons Torn Journal Page 1, Vernons Torn Journal Page 2 ... still looking for the next journal page <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
i have now the key and Mining Permit
Darn i only found the key so far

it wont let me see the note and the robotdog thing creeps me out
I'm liking this year's masquerade <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Can't find anything either... :/
I found the second and third page of his journal~ <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Only found the key and the note ;/
I only found the 1st page of his Journal in his Study so far. it's getting interesting <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I can't find anything...sucks...
@Dying

I was wondering that, too =) Look here:
http://www.subeta.net/forums/view/669164
would be nice if we knew how many items there is to find <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
Where the hell are people finding things?!! O__o
I only have the key and the note. Haven't found the Wrenchett Toy. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
or the key use for the desk
maybe we a have to use the wrench there is a gaz pipe or something in the cellar
I haven't found a thing yet either.
Okay, found three things! Is there anything else to be found at all, or is that it?
What's this? Your search turns up a Wrenchett Toy.

After click all night, I finally found this thing.

Ten minutes by my count.
I've found the page and the toy, but nothing else so far. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_angryface.gif" border="0" />
What the fuck?

I've searched every spot on the study map, but all I get is, "There doesn't seem to be anything here."

Is this a glitch? I've checked the number code, too, and I've gone through all 12 of the spots. I'm just <i>not finding anything</i>.
I still haven't found anything yet... continues to click around.
I clicked everything once and found nothing, YAY !
I sense some clockwork pet colors....yes?
I never found the journal page that was being talked about, so maybe each user only gets a partial set of the items available? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />
Better not poke around too much, someone might get suspicious. Best to wait a few minutes first.

hits bloody hammer into open hand and waits
Yeah I think I missed a step somewhere. I never found a Wrenchett Toy... slinks off to search.
HOLY DAMN. I am full-scale geeking out excited right now. -runs off to explore-
My bad, it's called a Wrenchett Toy.
Pm me as well?
Doll? hmmmm I think I missed a step then. Someone pm me?
What have we found aside from the doll and the ballroom property manager note?
Without giving away too much.... So all I've found there so far is 1 thing.. is that it?
Maybe there's a hidden message in the journal page? That would be cool, but I kinda hope there isn't since I'm nowhere near smart enough to figure something like that out...
I wish we didn't have the time limit to search again, I like clicking around everywhere, just like some of my fav old school point and click games XD
Otherwise i'm having so much fun <3
I haven't found anything yet..
This... Is such an awesome plotline!
Maybe the robodog killed him with a hammer
@Ambrosyne I believe it's random. I've only found one thing so far, and I've clicked everything at least once.
This is really annoying me..
I've searched his room twice now and I haven't found anything.
Is it random or can someone please message me where the heck the thing is?
(hoping it's okay to post this...)

That's the link we're discussing, for the late arrivals. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Vernons Torn Journal Page 3:

Some of the newer models turned aggressive today, and I do not know why. When I last saw them, they were acting normal and complacent. This morning, however, I found them feverishly trying escape the enclosure. I managed to keep them contained, but received quite a nasty scratch for my troubles. After bandaging my arm, I returned to find them all completely calm, as if nothing had happened! This is quite worrying, indeed.

...is beginning to support the isaac robot theory... <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
Adriette did it.
Ehh, why was the link to the ballroom taken off the news post? Is there anywhere else that it's posted?
What is going on???
@Insonya (lol yay for tags that don't work in news comments)
well that's frustrating.
):
Uhm, link missing somewhere? "Ask that you ." ... what? and what is everyone searching?
points at the Inspector accusingly
WHAT ABOUT YOU, MY GOOD SIR? WHY AREN'T YOU QUESTIONING YOURSELF?
OI o;!
@kittiocity, I think it's random because I'm looking repeatedly everywhere.
I wonder if there's something else to look
Why did this new post change?
@ShadowFanGirl, did you know Adam and Donna got married? I thought that was the cutest thing ever!
wait where do you find the permit
<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
FFFFFFF. I wanna look at the freaking garbage can already! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

But omg, this calls for another change of clothes! TO THE WARDROBE TO CHANGE INTO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE DETECTIVE CLOTHES! 8D
So fun! I love this website for a reason.
What's this? Your search turns up a Mining Permit.

someone found something else?
I am so happy about this plot! Thank you , subeta!
This reminds me of the old neopets plots, the good ones, before Vaicom took over and made it fail..

Kinda makes me sad...

I miss it when Adam and donna and the crew owned it.

They were freaken great.
y0, found something.
But I won´t spoil the fun for the others, so enjoy the event, like I do =>
oh man oh man this reminds me of the old Neopet plots. I used to love those things.
Has anyone else found something?
The suspense!
I love the image of all the guests in the ballroom. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Alright, I admit it! It was me! I was the one that murdered Vernon Yun!

Ahh, this is like the point and click games I used to play in the 90s. In short, loving it.

Oh, shit. Now I want to play Myst. lol.
Yes would be nice not to have spoilers on this page,
Lol, this is interesting. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Also I dunno whether anyone cares, but just in case, maybe we should try to keep the mystery spoilers of what we found etc. off the comments box, cause it ruins the suspense for people who didn't find anything yet/even knew you could, you know, just saying?
Whats with the key?
"Users Online: 2,015"

Yeah! Cracked the 2k mark <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I'M NOT LOOTING POTENTIALLY VALUABLE EVIDENCE FROM VERNON YUN'S STUDY
NO, NOT ME
Ahh, this is like the point and click games I used to play in the 90s. In short, loving it.
every last corner of this is brilliant
Lin
...How can someone get suspicious if there's no one else there? lols.
For those wondering I have found the aforementioned "a few minutes" to last for 6 minutes approx.
This event is AMAZING. I love you guys so much for doing this :3 man, I thought I loved Masquerade last year XD

LET'S SOLVE A MURDER :'D
CLICKYTHINGS!
But I don't want to use the pretty key <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> It might go away when you use...
How long do you have to wait to click in the study?
what is the name of the key?
CLICKY SPOTS WHOOOT!!

Nope... I'm not excited LOL!
Well if we have to stay in the Ballroom, I sure hope there is a Powder Room nearby.
User not found:
Oh. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I love the suspense and drama. slowly goes downs stairs into the dark depths of curiosity
There's a keyhole!! In the North Antechamber. Up the top above the chair.
I wish I knew exactly how long "a few minutes" is. :C
Finally we get to use the key.
HIDDEN ROOM :O pokes around =_=....
User not found:
But. What if I don't <i>want</i> be cooperative? WHAT THEN, INSPECTOR? WHAT THEN!?
Man, I wish his last name was Gadget...
Ooo, I'm loving the interactive mystery <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
"<i>Better not poke around too much, someone might get suspicious. Best to wait a few minutes first.</i>"

But I like clicking blindly and in rapid succession. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
Yay! Wonder who the suspects are? Maybe Marcel or Jules?
well at least we have a use for the key now! Too bad I didn't find anything with it...yet!
YES YES YES IMAGEMAPS I love you Subeta <3
Plots are loooove!
YES finally!
Thorpe! The suspense is killing me!
Wow, vernon's study has a lot of things there <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
explores O_O
The plot thickens...like rancid pea soup.

No actually I'm pretty excited to find out who dun it. O: (And you get a cookie if you know what that quote above is from)
Hate to break it to you all, but Vernon had a problem with the clubs...the strip clubs.
But no one will suspect the blood covered stripper.
Mwahahahaha!
oooh, this is so exciting!!
ohman
dramaaaaaa
Inspector, would you include yourself among that list of suspects??
Finally, an update! This is turning out to be quite interesting. :]
Stay here? Oh, ok then. At least I have plenty of Lounge trinkets.
FINALLY. I love updates <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
User not found:

It was me.
Ooh, awesome. :3 Can't wait to see what the rest of this plot brings!
Oh my! The plot thickens!....
Ohh cant wait to see who the suspects are <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_shocked.gif" border="0" />
