Fancy Restaurant

Fancy Restaurant, also known as the "Fancy Restaurant Arc" and occasionally "Turnabout Glass", was a major arc in the Nest. It revolved around a murder mystery that was stated to have been perpetuated by the serial killer Hivemind, a master of identity theft who had supposedly infiltrated the restaurant one year prior to the roleplay.

This roleplay was a first of its kind, since it took place across several different incarnations, once for every Nester, and with the plot changing with each respective runthrough of it. Besides general plot differences that came about due to the divergences of the Nester, Fancy Restaurant was defined by the ever-present yet ever-changing stained-glass window at the heart of the case.

Plot
The serial killer known as Hivemind had been terrorizing the "East Coast" for upwards of a decade when his trail was picked up by Chris Daughtry. Hivemind was stated to have a signature murder method of executing victims in alleyways with a silenced pistol, and leaving a skull mask behind as a token. The police actually arrested the killer in almost all cases, but they always disappeared from custody, changed identity, and reappeared a month later.

Tired of this constant game of constant mouse, Daughtry decided it was time to do something about Hivemind once and for all. They recruited the help of a Nester, stating that he had tracked down the new identity of Hivemind to the titular Fancy Restaurant, where they were apparently employed. The Nester interrogated all the suspects and investigated the extent of the area, not discovering much of note and adjourning until the morning, with Daughtry promising to give the Nester a wake-up call.

That wake-up call never came. The Nester would come to learn the next morning that Daughtry was murdered in the middle of the night, in the back alleyway of the Fancy Restaurant. He was lying in a pool of his own blood, shot twice in the chest, with a third bullet hole found shattered through the nearby stained-glass window. Also nearby was that famous skull mask, and two bullet shells. It was now up to the Nester, with the help of an old friend and the rest of the employees, to solve the murder.

It later turned out that the murder was not what it seemed in the slightest, and as secrets were unraveled and truths became known, it appeared as if no one was innocent, but least of all Hivemind, whose identity was indeed revealed. And this time, so it seems, they're down for good, but they didn't go down without a fight. Worst of all? They weren't even the one who took Daughtry's life.
