Murder at Midnight: Season 2

Murder at Midnight: Season 2 is an RP made by Facepunch user Chernobyl426. It is the second member of the Murder at Midnight series.
Like Season 1, this RP is a deviation from the norm of FPRPs, due to being a murder mystery game, based on suspicion and crowd mentality. Story elements get introduced, as the RP takes place some time after the events of Season 1. Season 2 is by far the most popular season. It was followed up by Season 3.
==Events==
Season 2 starts some time after the events of Season 1, referred to as "The McCaffrey Case" within the RP. After receiving letters from Alexander Trajanovski, the last victim within the McCaffrey Case, Abraham Ishmael Ali began investigating the events of that case, whilst at the same time disregarding a warning from Trajanovski, telling him a murder case similar to the McCaffrey Case will happen to him and other Citizens.
The RP starts on a regular day for this Season's Citizens. John Doe went to Lowe's Home Improvement Supercenter to get himself supplies to build his chicken coop/garden shed, Reid Knoll head into town for his daily performance, Oscar of Astora went to the brewery for work, the Horne & Associates crew was trimming hedges in Abraham's garden, Vanolo Bar the 1st was driving home from his late-night work at the office, Tim Bradley punches out from work and drove to the brewery, Captain Ratbeard pulls into the port, Shinji Ikari wakes up in an unfamiliar room, Abraham Ishmael Ali was working hard and Kurt Green woke up.
The first Citizen interaction happens at McDonalds, where John Doe and Reid Knoll meet. Doe ordered a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, a large Coke, large Fries, and an Apple Pie like an American while Knoll ordered a Bacon Club sandwich with a small Coke. While Knoll was waiting for his meal, he noticed Doe and, because he had nothing to do, approached him and asked him for his name, beginning the interaction. Around this same time, Ratbeard arrives at the brewery, Vanolo Bar arrives home and Kurt goes outside. Knoll retrieves his food and while leaving McDonalds, he placed a homemade smoke bomb to hide him from the crowd while he entered his car, heading to Town Square. After this, Doe finishes his meal and heads home to start building his chicken coop/garden shed. Whilst working on the garden shed/chicken coop, Bat von Sheisse gave Nick a free blunt German metal pipe to add to his collection.
Jeff Hill wakes up to a phone call from his boss at the motel, telling him to come to work early. Kurt ends up writing a song about Doe's shed/coop, Kewkie makes a nice sign for the shed/coop, Nick comments on how he dislikes it and Gordon Freeman notices the shed/coop, not commenting on it due to his vocal cord paralysis. During this time, Abraham decides to get some fresh air by going for a walk. After the walk, he sees he received mail from Trajanovski once more, leading him to go to the Courthouse. Meanwhile, Oscar arrives at the brewery to see it is closed, so he decides to see what is happening. As the brewery is closed, Ratbeard decides to unlock the door to the brewery and gets drunk.
Jeff, having arrived at the motel and working, hears the voice of his boss on his Walkie Talkie, asking him to come to his office. His boss tells him the motel is closing down and that Jeff has lost his job, leading him to be saddened. Arriving at the Courthouse, Abraham discovers the drawer containing the files of the Citizens, granting himself digital access to the files. Having looked into the previous case, he heads to the post office in Town Square, as that is where Citizens accused eachother and voted. He arrived there and following analysis, he returned home to sleep.
The first victim ended up being Eddie Horne, dying after being crucified and mutilation with objects that relate to Horne, his culture and his work. Everyone confused the material used on the cross for wood, but in actuality it was railroad ties.
In the early morning, the first Citizen on the scene is Jeff Hill, hearing one of Horne's neighbors scream at the sight of Horne's corpse. Following him, Abraham arrives at the scene after hearing the news on the radio, recalling his experience with Horne and realizing that Trajanovski's letters were right. He asked the police to allow him to investigate the scene. He was allowed to investigate, but found nothing. Freeman came after, followed by Vanolo. Abraham tells the police the truth about Horne's identity and his past as corporal Dubravko, suggesting they investigate Dubravko's home. Abraham then ends up in a discussion with Vanolo, as the two become allies quickly. Onovo Viracocha finds out about the murder on the news. Ratbeard stumbles through the front door, leading him to vomit and then pass out in said vomit, whilst Knoll was preparing his gear when he heard the news about the murder. Jeff throws up when he hears that there might be multiple Murderers. Doe hears the news and comments how it is un-American. Roman Bellic hears about the murder.
Oni heads for Town Square and Abraham says goodbye to a leaving Vanolo. Abraham moves Ratbeard onto a bench and begins a discussion with Jeff. Oscar smokes his cig, as the murder doesn't affect him. Knoll begins his daily performance, Ratbeard wakes up and walks over to the performance and Vukašin Geraint announces he's selling weed half off to anyone under the age of 18. The performance happens and Tim goes to his cabin in the woods. Around this time, a couple of cops are sent to investigate Dubravko's home, leading to the discovery of his Yugonostalgia-themed panic room. The post office opens and everyone gets accusing and voting. Abraham is called up by Jeff, asked about any info on Dubravko, leading him to reveal Dubravko's life story.
The vote ends and Reid Knoll was executed via public performance, leading to the discovery that he was not the Murderer. Abraham makes an argument with some of the other Citizens after comparing the results of the accusations and votes, as it changed from Doe to Knoll.
The second victim ended up being John Doe, dying after being stuffed into a wall and getting a crowbar to the skull. This, however, revealed him to be one of the two Murderers of this Season, having murdered corporal Josif Dubravko. Oni was the one to discover Doe's corpse within his shed/coop, leading him to be questioned by the police.
Because of the crowbar, many began suspecting Gordon Freeman as the Murderer, but he quickly disproved the accusations after doing a performance proving he is innocent. Among the Citizens that arrived at the scene, Abraham overheard someone suggest the police check the crowbar used at the crime scene for fingerprints. They check, to no avail. Accusation time came once more, as people went into the post office.
The vote following the accusing lead to Tim Bradley being executed via logging, leading to the discovery that he was not the Murderer. Saddened by the fact that Bradley was not the Murderer, everyone went home.
The third victim ended up being Ibraaheem ibn Ismail ibn Eisa al-Ali, dying after he was hanged with a giant nail onto the wall. After this event, the police held a short notice meeting, discussing over Abraham. Following that meeting, the highest of higher ups of the police force discussed how they had to retrieve the hash they had been importing for Abraham, due to drugs not being legal in the state. The police taking Abraham's corpse and important documents relating to this Season and last Season's murder cases lead to a lot of dissent from the people of the town, leading to an impromptu press conference explaining its actions. Freeman ends up finding some locally sold hashish hidden in plain sight and, confusing it for weed, blazes it. Soon, accusation time arrived. Then, voting time had a special vote. The Citizens voted on who of the following three should stay alive: Gordon Freeman, Roman Bellic or Bat von Sheisse.
The vote passes and Roman Bellic & Bat von Sheisse were both executed in a double execution, Bellic being executed via his cab running him over and von Sheisse being executed via a pin connecting the back of his head, cracking his skull and splattering his brains, leading to the discovery that neither of them were the Murderer. Jeff Hill realized how the executions are much more brutal than the murders, whilst Gordon Freeman realized he only had so much time left.
The fourth victim ended up being Kurt Green, dying after having syringes shoved into his eyes and head, as his eyes are pulled out of their sockets. Vanolo begins drinking, knowing that more people are dying and that his greatest ally within all this, Abraham, was dead. In his hungover state, he begins to accuse Vukašin Geraint of being the Murderer, but soon gets himself back together and suddenly realizes that with Abraham's death, Jeff Hill has become much more active in investigations, making him very suspicious. Jeff, meanwhile, arrives at the crime scene to see that there are bits of paper in the hole left on his forehead, which he investigates. Freeman becomes afraid of himself, knowing he is unstable because of his morphine rampages. Nick accuses Oni. The vote starts, as tensions are high. Jeff votes for Nick, which causes Nick to yell at him for suggesting he is the Murderer. Vanolo sides with Nick, as something told him he wasn't involved. Nick and Jeff have a heated argument, as Nick says he could shoot him. Jeff says he doesn't fear him and that he should do it. Nick decides not to shoot. Vanolo tells Jeff that he is on thin ice, telling him the things a Murderer could do to avoid suspecion. This causes Jeff to break down, demanding that Nick pull the trigger. Nick tells him he just thought he was a faggot, which he still thinks. Jeff then falls, sobbing.
Jeff Hill admits to his crimes of being the Murderer before the vote ends against him. As his punishment for being the Murderer, he was executed in a mix of all his previous murders. Eyes cut out, trapped in a wall, eyes sewed to hands, mouth stapled open in the shape of a sad smile and giant nail in the brain, dying. An investigation at Jeff's house would lead to the discover of what the full sentence on the notes was. Later, Jeff's corpse would be stolen. The surviving Citizens would have their own epilogue to their story arc within this season.
So, Season 2 ends with the surviving Citizens; Nick, Gordon Freeman, Vanolo Bar the 1st, Oscar of Astora, Onovo "Oni" Viracocha, Captain Ratbeard, Kewkie, Shinji Ikari & Vukašin Geraint; being the winners.

Captain Ratbeard
Played by Mort Stroodle.

Well sit yer britches down and open yer earholes, 'cause this be no tale fer the faint a' heart. The ol' Cap'n was born in a shithole of a port town, where tha houses were nuttin' but tar n' driftwood, and the smell a' cheap whiskey in the air was almost strong enough ta' cover the stench a' rancid fish. The lad turned ta' the pirate's life on 'is fifth birthday, when a madman butchered his parents wit' a rusty harpoon. As it happens, that there madman was none other than little Ratbeard himself! Then that bloodtharsty bastard stole tha' biggest ship in port, and hired a crew a' tha' deadliest mercenaries tha' seas had ever known. They rampaged from town ta' town, stealin' anythin' that were made a' gold, burning anythin' that weren't, and slaughterin' any poor bastard that got in tha' way. The Cap'n was tha' most depraved creature ever ta' walk this Eart'. No one within a thousan' miles of the ocean wasn't terrified of the name "Ratbeard". It's said he sliced off 'is own hand so 'e could see how 'is flesh tasted, skewered and burnt ta' a crisp. I'll leave ye' ta' imagine what foul thin's the Cap'n did to 'is victims. But in spite a' all a' Ratbeard's murderous, vile ways, the Cap'n had one virtue about 'im; he could not tell a lie. Ratbeard wanted 'is legacy a' blood untarn'shed by any falsehood. Whenev'r a newspaper said tha' Cap'n had plundered a harbor that he hadn't, or a rumor spread that some oth'r pirate had killed a man that he had, Ratbeard 'd track down whatev'r fool were responsible, an' slit their scrawny throats. On tha' one occasion that tha' Cap'n was captured an' put to trial, he told 'em every damn foul thing he had done, boastin' proudly 'bout every drop 'a blood he spilt, 'fore 'is crew broke the Cap'n out an' burned down tha' courthouse. While Cap'n Ratbeard'll kill any fecker who tries get in 'is way, he'd sooner put 'is cutlass through 'is own heart than let a lie be spread about 'im.". His current occupation is being a pirate.

He was taken into a town and given food and shelter since it seemed like he was abandoned for days, but people soon found he was amazing at drawing signs. He was somehow amazing at typography and coloring. With the help of some of the townfolk, he was given a start of his own local business where he makes signs by commission.
