Final Investigation.

[trustharder]

You've all done very well to make it this far, but it's not over yet. The klaxons blare out today, as they always do – there's no reason they should do any differently, not least of which because it's a Thursday; strange things usually don't happen around here until Fridays, and there's no reason to think that today will be any different. But as soon as you awaken and get a glimpse of what's happening down that first-floor corridor, it becomes very apparent that that's far from the case. The usual rooms on the eastern wing of the first floor are gone entirely, replaced by more of that glossy black that coats the courtroom; it's a little vertigo-inspiring at first, but it's not dangerous. Of more interest, then, is probably those three rooms that seem to be waiting for you – one to the north, two to the south. Choose where you're going to go. Look around for a while. What else are you going to do, after all? >Explore?

[OOC: Welcome to the final investigation! The areas blocked off in rooms 2 and 3 will require card keys to open; otherwise, you are free to investigate at your leisure!

Remember, we need 15 comments total from each of you on this log somewhere!]

There's a little...cat thing here? With that name on it.

Kinda a shitty prize selection. [He's taking them all anyway, because fuck it]

[trustharder]

[The next one will give you a list of the living, set up similarly.]

[trustharder]

[Probably a bad idea.]

[trustharder]

[You're all done with those three folders! Good job!!

You've got ten folders over here and to speed things up a bit, they have all had the same thing done to them - papers ripped out with no useful information in them.

But! They all have photos in them! So let's take this one at a time.

Up first is REVOLUTIONARY complete with his photo!]

[sleepingkogoro]

[That was to be expected. If one is for dead people and the other one is for those that are alive...

...could any buttons left show names? Will he unknowingly find Glory and Ambitious? The curiosity is slightly stronger. One button more!]

[goodforsomething]

[Well, Bruce has the folders over there. Stan remembers the whole kiln thing, though, so is there anything behind the shelves?]

[isafraid]

[Probably not a decision that should be made by a man from the 1800s.

Ah well, he'll just knock on the strange material, see what that gets him.]

[trustharder]

[That button changes the view! You're no longer looking at a city, instead you're looking at a room... that looks suspiciously like one of your rooms in the Vault.

It's definitely not one of yours though, and it's not one of the rooms you guys haven't touched either. The layout is different and it looks like someone's been living in there. They didn't even make the bed! Or clean up!! Rude. They're not in the room, however, so there's that.]

[captainobnoxious]

I know one. And you can't tell me the others, because that'd be helping me out. Though I'd guess one's killing the Kingmaker himself.

[... Hmmm. Maybe this kind of question'll work?]

Okay then. What kind of questions can I ask you that will get answered? Just so I'm not wasting our time.

[amygdalae]

[Whoever doing this certainly didn't want them to know anything, clearly.

But photos. Photos are good.

...this guy sure has some arm game going on here. Though not as good as Thor. Still pretty decent, though.

Alright, making sure there's nothing else he might have overlooked, then moving onto the next photo folder!]

[pokexplorer]

[He was definitely looking for Pokemon.

If it weren't for that, he might've thought of Castelia City...

But yes, let's see what the other buttons do, Yosuke.]

[trustharder]

[Hey look, it's Stan, Gabriel, and Bruce! It looks like the screen is now showing the library in room #3.]

[cherryblooded]

[Hi guys, looks like you've got things under control over there.

Next button!]

[garudynamic]

... could this be the other Vault?!

[The one he was SO SURE was fake? Or one of the various other games he doesn't know about yet

Guessing the room is vague enough that'd be impossible to guess who lives there It's def not Yu, the bed isn't made]

[cherryblooded]

...The other vault, from the photographs...?

[It's a theory. Maybe save theories for later.]

[trustharder]

[It's a good attempt, but unfortunately there isn't anything back there. The last thing left for you guys are the folders Bruce is going through, if you want to help him out!]

[trustharder]

[Nope, the library is clear! Good job!]

[trustharder]

I CAN ANSWER SOME THINGS ABOUT THE GAME. SOME THINGS ABOUT MYSELF. SOME THINGS ABOUT THE SITUATION.
BUT NOT EVERYTHING.
THAT'S THE UNFORTUNATE PART, I GUESS.

[goodforsomething]

[Oh, okay! Stan wanders over to peer over Bruce's shoulder.]

What's all this?

[trustharder]

[CLANDESTINE is up next! Here he is!]

[notjustawriter]

[Off to help the others, then!]

[garudynamic]

[Srry Colress, he can't resist buttons]

[trustharder]

[Sigrun, Black, Mouri, and Speedwagon! Here's room #2!]

[trustharder]

[Yep, it's too vague to figure out who this room could belong to.]

[trustharder]

[The next screen shows all 27 Survivors, listed by titles, along with a 28th selection for Kingmaker.

Underneath everyone's titles, the word ALIVE is listed.]
