Sassy announced in the Discord my and Shrey's names as"Shrey Caudhary" (Chaudhary) and "Little Mrs Nyan" (Miss), which totals out to an added "r" and subtracted "ish" AND RISH RHYMES WITH WISH BIG BRAIN MOMENTS RIGHT HERE WHAT

Before editing, she said that her accomplice was currently out of town.
Venom?

Tissoos from the Scioly Discord server I believe is out of town, but I do not have their Scioly.org username at this moment.

Poonda said that Venom is not out of town, at least they believe so.

Tissoos has not set one up yet.

Alright here's a little piece of information that I got from Discord DMs with the Assassinator.
The Assassinator was "Getting Dinner" from 9:59 pm-10:05 pm CST, meaning that, based on dinner times, they are likely on the west coast (also due to the fact that even though 9 pm is not too late for dinner in MST, there are not many Scioly Discord server or Scioly.org users from the MST timezone.), and thus could narrow down our search radius.

Sassy just removed a "thanks" from one of my posts 35 minutes ago; gesture thanked me at the same time. Interesting. It's quite uncommon for two people to be online and post/thank at the same time, so I'm going to keep an eye on you gesture! You're also a Div B kid this year. I wouldn't be surprised if co-sassies were gesture and another glaswegian.

But then again, I could be overanalyzing everything.

I don't believe that Gesture is either of the roles, mainly due to the dinner pickup time, with him being online at the same time that the Assassinator was "Getting Dinner," and also due to the fact that he has not figured out how to really navigate forums yet, meaning that it would be difficult to be the Assassinator. Furthermore, purely because of how the game is set up, I believe that if Gesture was the actual person who came up with the co-sassy idea (if the Assassinator came up with this idea, it would have to be original because of the aforementioned forum navigation problem) as, due to this being the second Scioly Assassination that he has joined in on, he would likely stick with the rules of the previous Assassination game. However, there are always exceptions and surprises waiting in store, as shown by the last few days.

Wow. I've sent five messages in this thread this morning. Sorry for the message dump I only just got approval of how to send messages in the forums without it having to go through the Moderators.

A blue bear stares blankly into the distance. The abandoned toy factory is silent and still, until suddenly, [censored] appears. The blue bear does his best to hide his smile, but he couldn’t. The prospect of another victim…

Another diary entry has been uncovered.
I was writing in my journal under the covers of my blanket when I suddenly woke up in this abandoned place. From the looks, it appears to be…an abandoned toy factory.
A gargantuan blue bear turns its head. I scream, but it does not flinch. My mother always told me that my necklace served as an ancient ward against monsters.
A G minor chord rings out. I jump, and an old advertisement starts playing, so old it glitches out occasionally. I hear something about Christmas, plushies, and bells.
I back away, when suddenly a small, pale doll with red hair the shade of poppy flowers appears. She looks directly into my eyes and says, “Please don’t leave. Terrible things are happening, and you may be able to set it right. We have not had visitors in years…you must help us. YOU MUST!”
I flinch. “I really don’t expect I will be of much use,” I say. “Perhaps, someone else will help you.”
I hear footsteps in the background and start backing away.
The doll’s gaze hardens. She rushes towards me and reaches for my necklace-

The rest of the journal has been lost. Will you be able to save [censored]?

For the Scioly Discord thread, I choose to protect BlankySpaceOfSpace due to the mention "blank"et as well as censors making something blank.

I'm pretty sure you have to state the reason, not the discussion. Even if that's not true, not everyone can read the discord so it'd be very helpful for those of us who can't
