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!]

Comments

[pokexplorer]

That is...a very good possibility.

[Even Colress was questioning if it was real or not...]

Are there shots of any of the other rooms? Perhaps we might catch sight of someone.

[cherryblooded]

[Another giant screen, a podium, weird glowy floor, got it.

Next button!]

[garudynamic]

[Time to move on then, next button get]

[amygdalae]

[Eyesquint. Is this guy some sort of priest?? He looks like one.

Then again, who knows. After literal gods, mermaids, Pokemon and King, anything really is possible at this point.

Another check, then to the growing pile of photos it goes. What's in not-set-aside-folder-number three?]

[trustharder]

[Another button press will get you another room! This one looks similar to the room you were just looking at the ones in the Vault... but the layout is different again. Huh. At least this person made their bed.]

[trustharder]

[It's solid, but weirdly malleable! And it'll get you a strange humming noise and probably a good amount of static electricity doing fun things to your hair.]

[trustharder]

[Another room! And another different layout. They're all bedrooms at least, but this one has a TV! How totally unfair.]

[sleepingkogoro]

What?!

[The word ALIVE caught him by surprise, and there is the Kingmaker too! What is this supposed to be all about?

If there are any buttons left he's going to press them, but if not he is going to...hesitantly tap the Kingmaker's name]

[goodforsomething]

Who're these guys, the last group?

[Stan picks up a folder to look as well, having already glanced over the others a bit. Dinosaurs, weird.]

[amygdalae]

[Oh, hello, Stan.]

Folders of... I'm not entirely sure. [He pauses to show Stan the first few he's opened, at least.] I'm pretty sure they're former participants of some sort, considering the title thing that's going on, but all that's left in them are photos.

Feel free to browse through the ones he's opened so far, Stan.]

[captainobnoxious]

It's alright. Wouldn't be a very fun game if I got all my answers when I wanted them, even if that'd be a hell of a lot easier.

What can you answer about the situation?

[Like she wasn't going to use the same method twice. Is this cheating? No, it's being smart.]

[goodforsomething]

If we're all in the Matrix, I'm gonna be pissed.

[trustharder]

[SURVIVING. Here she is!]

[amygdalae]

Maybe. I'm not entirely sure just yet.

[Especially since there was that red haired kid... but from the adjectives printed at the front, it seems like it.]

[garudynamic]

...man I wish I had a tv.

[Speaking off he kinda... casually taps the screen real fast- no he doesn't expect anything, no one else has their powers, but he hasn't had the chance to really check (and the arcade machines just seemed like trouble waiting to happen.)

Moving on!]

[pokexplorer]

[It's all good. Buttons are very fun.]

[trustharder]

[CURATIVE. Isn't she cute?]

[garudynamic]

No one yet, but all the rooms are different. Maybe different Vaults? Holy hell...

[isafraid]

[oh no his fluff is gaining sentience! It'll consume his head if he's not careful.

Which means it'll be just fine to stand on...? Look, circles are usually supposed to have things in them. That's how it works. And if he dies, he's got a witness.]

[trustharder]

[Yep, sorry, Yosuke. No dice.

Another button press will net you something totally different! This looks like the control room you're currently in, but better lit. Also the monitors are all off and there's no one around, so there's that.]

[goodforsomething]

Shit, some of 'em look young...

[pokexplorer]

[Weird. Why do the layouts keep changing?

Is this room similarly nondescript? If so, Colress will go along the line of buttons to see if something more recognizable or at least describable pops up.]

[goodforsomething]

[What monster put a little girl with bunny ears in this? Hopefully the next one is less...well, depressing to think about.]

[notjustawriter]

Wait a sec....

[The profiles in his book, all of these people.....

Do they match?]

[amygdalae]

[What a nice looking girl! ...the hair reminds him a little of Natasha with how pink it is.

(And boy does he not need that reminder now.)

Also, her skirt is way too short there. Not judging though.

Checking again, and with the all clear time for number four!]
