Once again you five are compelled, whether by fear, curiosity, or some sort of unseen plot device pushing you along, to step through the [5th] door.
You get the drill, blah blah dark hallway, blah blah some sort of underground facility, do I need to go over it again? You don't care about this, it's time for the juicy stuff. That's right it's time for-
BEEP BEEP
30 SECONDS LEFT
BEEP BEEP
{The Beeping}Erm...oh wait let me check my notes...Let's see...ah yes, I appear to have forgotten to remind some of you, there is a DeActivator device somewhere in the next room. This is to prevent dilly-dallying! If you do not get there in time and scan your bracelet, the neurotoxin will be pumped into your veins and...well...it's not called neurotoxin for no reason, isn't it?
April rushes ahead of the group, dashing down into the darkness, yelling back about how the device should be nearby. The rest of you pick up the pace, Joy holding his hat as you all sprint down the hallway, the beeping getting faster and faster as time starts ticking down.
20 SECONDS LEFT
Where is it??? It should be just around this corner, right?
10 SECONDS
Is this how it ends? A mad dash for the finish, those too slow not able to make it? April lags behind slightly, complaining about how heavy her body feels.
5 SECONDS
A small glowing sparkle in the distance. Hope! You reach a small pad with each of your names written on it, and a small space to shove a hand in to scan it.
3 SECONDS
Joy and Naix have scanned their bracelets.
2 SECONDS
01 and April stumble in, exhausted and out of breath. They both successfully scan their bracelets.
1 SECOND
As the milliseconds tick down, Da Rat finally walks in and scans her bracelet, seemingly not phased about "da beeping"
TIME'S UP
Catching your breath, you all breathe a sigh of relief. Until...beep...you hear a small...beep...noise off by...beep...
April grabs her chest, a pocket on the inside of her robe glowing a bright red. She coughs, blood splattering on the floor, her eyes glazing over. She shakes, and collapses, a small red bracelet falling out of her pocket as she does.
It blinks, a small needle retracting back into the bracelet with the number
[1]
Friend's Bracelet.
April is dead.
But that's not why we're really here is it? So what if she was killed off? Not all of us are destined to live forever, to be immortalized in our stories after all. You'll have time to mourn later, once you sus out who could've possibly done this.

But anyway I digress. It's time for the show after all.
Welcome...To the Paradoxical Puzzle!
Ahead of you lies a small room, filled with several different items. Different potential murder weapons/methods of murder as it stands. Those items/methods are as follows:
WEAPONS
Plastic Bag, Halberd, Bookshelf, Block of Ice, Electrocution
Marble Statue, Flamethrower, Paint Bucket, Deep Fryer, Fireman’s Axe
Marble Statue, Flamethrower, Paint Bucket, Deep Fryer, Fireman’s Axe
Naturally, with a wide bevy of weapons, you'll need some victims, won't you?
VICTIMS
Naix, Da Rat, Joy, April, 01
That's right. 5 of you are dead. Well...not dead as more...a potential death that could arise. When you all are ready, or if you just want to hurry up and die, please enter the door and answer the following questions:
What Weapon killed each victim?
Who or What killed each victim?
and lastly
In what order did the victims die?
You have 48 hours. The threshold is 80%. 5 points for each correct weapon, murderer, and order, with a bonus 5 points upon all 3 being correct.
Truth Bullets:
Joy's Body: There is a deep wound on the back of his head. His hat lies on the ground near him. His body is soaked in blood, paint, and some watery substance. He's slumped against what remains of the statue.
Spilled Paint: Paint has been slipped from a paint can that's been knocked to the ground. From the direction it's laying, it seems to have been on the Scaffolding when it started to fall. It pools around Joy's body, with some splattered on nearby clothes and surfaces.
01's Body: 01 is crushed underneath a bookshelf, a fireman's axe gripped tightly against their chest. Books lie on top of them. There are small fragments of marble underneath their body. They have flecks of purple paint in their hair.
Fireman's Axe: 01 grips a fireman's axe tightly against their chest. It appears to be stained red with blood. The blade cuts lightly into their chest, presumably due to the weight of the bookshelf. The blade itself doesn't match any wounds aside from 01's. Only the blade has blood on it.
Da Rat's Body: Da Rat lies mostly submerged in a gigantic deep fryer, their legs sticking out slightly. Their body is unrecognizable, dark scarring burns and melted flesh sizzling in the bubbly concoction. Their shoes are slightly damp, with purple paint on the soles. Her face is in a twisted expression of shock.
Statue Notes: The Statue is a cheaply made version of The Thinker. There is paint splashed against the base from a nearby upturned paint can. The statue itself is now merely rubble, it having shattered presumably when it fell. There's a couple of flecks of blood on what appears to be the chest of the statue. Strangely, none of the big pieces are on top of the bookshelf.
Naix's Body: Naix's body is stiff and smoking, the pungent odor of charred flesh hitting your nose the second you get close to her. Her face is twisted in a pained, gasping expression. Her hand grips the Emergency Telephone tightly, her body involuntarily twitching. With each little twitch the lights flicker, and the scaffolding she is leaning against shakes ever so slightly.
Plastic Bag: Naix grips a plastic bag in the same hand she's holding the Emergency Telephone with. It has melted to her skin and congealed into a disgusting, goopy mess. There are bits of it shredded up in the Emergency Telephone wiring too.
Emergency Telephone: There is a large gash in the wires just around the phone, with melted bits of plastic in and around the severed wiring. The phone is dry as a bone.
Scaffolding Imprint: The scaffolding hasn't been climbed recently. There is a circular imprint on top of it, that's around...6 inches wide.
Deep Fryer: Da Deep Fryer doesn't appear to have been touched aside from being turned on. There's some oil on the floor by it, as well as some streaks of paint and water leading towards it.
Cold Storage: The freezer in the back has a problem with ice buildup. It was cleaned out recently. There is a mould inside around 1x1x1 feet with a few small ice crystals formed on it.
Splattered Shoes: Going over everyone's shoes you find...
No paint on Naix's shoes.
A trace amount on Joy's.
A ton on Da Rat's.
A ton on April's.
A trace amount on 01's.
Knight/Halberd: The knight is bolted to the floor and cannot move from that spot. The halberd is fused to it's hand, which is very loose and moves easily when jostled. The halberd is embedded in the floor by April's head, the blade tinged with blood.
April's Body: April lies decapitated on the ground by the Knight. The cut on her neck is clean, done in one swift motion. There is a small pool of blood by her neck stump. The rest of her body is unharmed.
Flamethrower: The flamethrower is gripped loosely in April's left hand. Her finger is on the trigger and the barrel is pointed towards the middle of the room. It is hot to the touch.
State of Floor: There are little patches of water leading from the Cold Storage to behind the bookshelf, then to the center of the room. By Joy's body is a very large puddle of water, paint, and blood with streaks that lead from Joy's Body to the Deep Fryer.

Red Truths:
Each person was killed by only one weapon.
Each weapon was used only once.
Joy's head is caved in via a blunt object.
The south objects are boxes and impassible.
Aside from the water and blood and paint, there is nothing else important about the floor.
