What can I say that hasn't already been said?
This whole event has been a waste of my damn time. A double loss... How shameful. Now, had this been a "different" kind of tournament, and surely I would have came out on top. Besides, I have more pressing things to attend to. 
(And to think I could have won...)
... No. NO. NO!!
I KNOW that I SHOULD HAVE WON!! Nothing I did was ANY different from ANYONE ELSE, SO WHY IS IT THAT I STILL SUFFERED?! 
... D-Damn it... Even with everything I had...

Tch. 
It's those bloody Joestars and their music that held me back.
I refuse to believe that was everything I got. In fact, I hardly even REVEALED my FULL potential. I KNOW how strong I really am. And I won't let some... SOME... PETTY music tournament challenge my LIMITS!! THERE ARE NO LIMITS. NOT WITH ME!! NEVER!!!

世界の終わり!「Final Roundabout」

Hello! This is Kesha! I was asked to write a little self reflection message before I truly back up my bags, so I figured "Why not!" Okay, WOW, this whole thing has been, like, one BIG rollercoaster of emotions. I won't lie, like, it was fuckin AWESOME! Yeah, there were some moments that got pretty scary. Being sent to the Loser's Bracket, transforming into a Werewolf, facing off against... Garfield the cat?? It all felt so unreal. But, well, that's kind of when it hit me. Life can be unreal. There's moments that hit you like a truck and makes you beg that it's all just a bad dream. That nothing's ever gonna be different. But sometimes, you just gotta learn to get back up, and cut that bullshit with a dagger! Being prepared to tackle anything and everything life throws at you. Some say I've raised Hell, and others? They say I'm what Hell raised up. But you just gotta make the most of it. So thank you, everyone. For making my journey one to remember... Oh shit! That's my flight! Well, I'll catch you all later!!

Subject: Robo-Crashers (Sonic the Hedgehog, Rock "Mega Man" Light)
Noted by: Arthur Candler

The experiment took an interesting turn today, one we weren't expecting. Upon extended exposure to the White Noise, initially there was seemingly no reaction. However, close to the three minute mark, something interesting happened. As the hedgehog began to seemingly plan with Rock to find a way out of the room, the entity seemed to suddenly spring to life. Within moments they were... consumed entirely. The White Noise just... swallowed them whole. They vanished. For a solid ten minutes, they had simply disappeared. Afterwards, however, was the most interesting part. They returned, seemingly without a scratch.

Very fascinating. Initially we theorized that the White Noise had simply rejected them, but... As we released them from the room for further testing, the robot briefly fell apart into... static, interestingly. Sonic rushed to comfort him, and they briefly started to quite literally meld together. They quickly separated, fearful of it, but now we're more interested in how that happened.

We're not entirely sure what it was, it will require further testing. Our current theory, however, is that the Robo-Crashers are not among us right now. Not dead, as that would likely make them much more difficult to clone like this, but... these are not the Robo-Crashers. This is the White Noise, dressing itself and acting like them. To a tee, as well, even with most memories intact. However, they seem very off as well. Occasional flares of uncharacteristic anger, moments where they will seemingly panic and start to fall apart at the seams, only to come back together at a moment's notice. The clones are unstable. Further testing may yield more results, and we are very enthusiastic to see what those results may be.

Subject: John "Jonesy" Jones
Noted by: Arthur Candler

Now that we have a closer baseline for what to expect, today's experiment was much more lucrative than we were initially expecting. Jonesy's exposure to the White Noise was much shorter than the first subjects, yet the end result was about the same. Is it because he fought it earlier? Perhaps the White Noise thrives on opposition. Perhaps it thrives in pure sadism, giving the subjects a chance to fight back before taking them? We can't tell for sure. More experimentation is required. 

In the meantime, the copy that returned from the White Noise seems a little rougher this time. Not much, but it seems a little more unstable. Perhaps it reflects on general mood at the time. We have plenty of hypotheses within our team, and while we can't confirm any, we do know that we'll have plenty of time to do so. After all... everyone here is a potential subject. Everyone but one. I think I have something else in mind for that one.

Interestingly, this Jonesy copy seems much more... quiet. Reserved. Not quite introverted, but less "out there" than he used to be. This seems to be a real response from Jonesy's memories though, perhaps a component of fear or something along those lines. These reports will start getting shorter as we go, as the inconsistencies start to clear up. 

To help with that, I believe I'll keep a log of important happenings around the estate in these reports. It could prove to be helpful to my employer.

The flower outside the estate is growing much faster than I expected. If I recall correctly, it was planted by the contenders after Sayori's death. ...to be frank, her death is one I regret. A simple misunderstood identity. It should not be her blood on my hands. But alas, what's done is done, all we can do now is look to the future.

I intend to leave the flower as a reminder to myself.

[REDACTED] requires assistance with shutting down the test equipment. I'm going to go help with that. End log.

Subject: Miror B., Ludicolo
Noted by: Arthur Candler

First off, who allowed the Pokemon? I thought we were banning experimentation on non-anthropomorphic animals. It leads to inconclusive results, and it... doesn't feel right to me. But... whatever, it happened, and I suppose we will continue with it for the foreseeable future. It isn't ideal, but we can't do half-measures. Not now. 

...Miror B. seemed the most torn up out of everyone so far about this. It wasn't fun to watch, if I'm to be honest. He just... clung to Ludicolo the entire time, apologizing and waiting for something to happen. We sat here watching that for thirty goddamn minutes. It took that long for the White Noise to consume him. We need to figure out what exactly the variable is that makes this take longer depending on the person, that's crucial for this experiment to continue.

Hugo and Porter have been despondent, trying to find where Miror had gone. They actually came dangerously close to finding the lab once or twice. We really should introduce more security measures to prevent people from accidentally stumbling into this. We don't want to have to disqualify anyone. That would be bad for business, and we've already had to ice some... former associates for getting too close. I would very much prefer not to take care of anyone unnecessarily from here on out. I am not a good person, I'm aware, but I'm not a fucking monster. 

...I almost feel bad for the members of Adventure Machine. They seem very distraught about this. It slightly concerns me, they may not bring their best in the next match because of this. Sure, they'll have time to prepare, but you never do get past your first murder. Now, whether this is murder is up for debate right now, we have no conclusive evidence. I hope it isn't.

There was another attempt to enter the Estate by an unauthorized party today. We believe that it's Mr. Cicierega trying to get back in again. I do not understand his desire to get back in. I really don't. We did consider bringing him in as an Enforcer, but our employer said he wasn't worth the pay. I'm inclined to disagree, but I don't get paid to argue, I suppose.

Anything else? Ah, right. The thief is really starting to get on my bad side. She's started conferring with some of the contenders in secret. Not to mention, she's found blind spots in our camera views and audio recording. Even if she is severely annoying me, I'll admit. She's clever. I'll have to keep a closer eye on her when I can. Perhaps I'll have Ness tail her.

Lastly, the state of the past two experiments... The Robo-Crashers and Jonesy are still unstable, but have not broken down since we started this. I suppose that there's something to note there. The first person that saw the clones (at least, we're assuming) was Aaron Burr, of the Stage Stars. He's not taking it well. Hansen and Sawyer are trying to console him, to no avail. It's a shame, such a clever man reduced to drinking. At least Thomas has a friend at the bar now.

That's everything important for now. The next report should be our last for a while.

Today's experiment took us a while to start. The latent static electricity that Lopez made it difficult for our scanners to get a bead on him in the first place. We had to put him in a special suit to even be able to get our readings accurately. But, before too long, we figured it out. Besides that, it's what came next that was much more important to note.

The White Noise just... consumed him. Like that. We put him in, and he was just gone. Immediately. This is a result that we didn't expect, to be honest. With the others, it took a little while to happen, but here... no, it was sudden. Perhaps it has to do something with emotional state? Brain activity? We noticed that Lopez was much more shifty, clearly attempting to find a way to escape. We've already been theorizing about this exact thing. Perhaps it targets an active mind much faster than it does a slower, more fearful one? We have a lot of ground to cover when it comes to finding out what the White Noise seems to prioritize. 

In any case, the clone seems less unstable than Jonesy's, but not quite as stable as Miror B.'s. We're not entirely sure how to proceed from here, but we have time to plan ahead.

On an additional note, I can now add being impaled by a sword to my list of ways I should be dead. The kid Lopez fought would not let up. Screaming at me to let him go, trying any way he could to stop me. His courage was certainly admirable, but I can't delay this any further. My employer would have my head, otherwise. I was able to restrain him for long enough to keep him out of the way. The wound was rather difficult to treat, his sword is rather peculiar in shape and ability. Luckily, we have good doctors on standby. This entire process is risky.

...I'll admit, this process is unsavory, as well.. I am not proud of many of my actions during these last few months. But I need to find out what the White Noise is capable of. It's my top priority. I antagonize our contenders, taunt them, push them forward... because this is all I can do. I need to find out what the White Noise is capable of. It's all I care about.

And with that, four are lost.

16th - Robo-Crashers
The first to go. They were but children.

15th - George Lopez 
In the end, all he wished to do was entertain.

14th - Miror B.
Terrified as he watched his beloved Ludicolo fade away. 

13th - Jonesy
A victim of two differences of one. One more vote, and...

Their statuses are unknown. One has to wonder what could have been. Your choices have been noted. 12 contenders remain. 

Who will be next?

RISING TENSION ~ Battlefield [MOVING ACCOUNTS, NEW ACCOUNT IN DESC]

Arrangement: MoonageDream

Hey, all. Given all that's happened over the last little bit, I think it's about time I give an update on the current plans.

So, in case you haven't seen, Juniper and Peter have left the community for good. Understandably so. I won't point fingers, but you know who you are. Green has also left the backroom, but will be sticking around in the server as a member of the audience. Either way, we wish all of them well.

As for our future plans?

We're not cancelling. 

I've poured too many hours into this project, and people have put in too much work into this for us to just let it all go with a whisper. I'm not a fan of leaving things behind, and I promised people that I would finish this project. I promised myself, and I promised the love of my life, that I would finish this.

I'm not one to break promises.

We'll be a little bit longer, since we need a little time to regroup and reorganize, as well as give those affected but still with us time to recuperate. I'd hate to push people back into the fray too soon. That would be negligent on my part, and I care too much about the people that have helped us along the way to just let things fester without letting them heal.

As such, I can't guarantee an official start date just yet. That said, we'll be back soon. Thank you so much for your patience.

Additionally, if you're interested in helping us out, I'd like to invite you to join the Ultimus server as I open up backroom applications for another run. We desperately need help, since two of our most active musicians and our main artist have left the project. I'll keep you all updated on what goes down.

Tim: Funny you say that. The freezer is just a block of ice. Steve insisted on that one.

yooooo it's thresher shark thursday!!!!!!

Four more are lost, and only a half of our start is still with us.

12th - Stage Stars
A man simply wanting to atone, and two children he had taken into his care. Unfortunately, they couldn't take the pressure of the hatred for them.

11th - The Luminary
A hero from another world, dead set on saving those he cared for to his grave. Rest well, chosen hero of Yggdrasil. Thank you for all you've done.

9th - Dr. Kawashima, Aria da Copo
A surprising tie between the two.

Dr. Kawashima, a bright mind left in an unforgiving scenario. However, mental acuity is not enough to survive, and it seems he learned this a little too late.

Aria da Copo, an old man and a child trying to make their way through the world in the only way they knew how. Against superior opponents, however, this couldn't save them.

As of now, all but one of their statuses are unclear. In the end, all one could wonder is what could have been. Your choices, as always, have been noted. Eight contenders remain.

I wonder, how long until they're all gone...?
