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!]

[No, apparently it's just-]

THAT'S CHEATING.

[trustharder]

[Oh hey, something different! The screen goes black and the following text is displayed:

END BROADCAST Y/N]

[notjustawriter]

....There are so many kids.

[garudynamic]

A different control room. So they aren't all controlled from here?

[Boopboop you'd think he was Beat with so many buttons]

[trustharder]

[Yep. It looks like you're getting nondescript living spaces here. Yosuke's found something interesting though!]

[amygdalae]

...yeah.

[His voice is quiet as he replies. They must be teenagers at most, judging from their looks alone.

God.]

[goodforsomething]

Here I thought there weren't any here on purpose...

[God, what if it was just coincidence?]

[trustharder]

[A more different control room!! This one actually has the screens on. It looks like it's monitoring a murder game as well, though there's no one around to control things here either.]

[cherryblooded]

[...okay so which of these buttons is yes and which is no, there's like fifty of them.

He's going to press random ones again.]

[trustharder]

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU KILLED THE-

okay, no.

It looks like that one isn't going to do anything, actually; the ALIVE status isn't going to change, but neither is anything else in the room.

Try one of the others, maybe.]

[pokexplorer]

[Colress is glancing to see what Cherryblod has on his screen at the moment, and...

What.]

Broadcast...?

[trustharder]

[SPIRITED. Another cute girl!]

[captainobnoxious]

It is not! It's playing smart! You'd do the same thing if you were in my position! And you wasted one of my questions, Glory, that's cruel. Put that number back there if you have any conscience at all.

[... Like they can do anything about the numbers.]

[trustharder]

[REGAL. How majestic!]

[goodforsomething]

[Okay, this is starting to piss him off. Next one!]

[garudynamic]

[He tries to peer in reaaally close to see if he can see the screens on the screen. Is there any thing that looks like a zoom he wants to seeee]

[cherryblooded]

I don't know either. Are we broadcasting?

[That's probably bad.]

[sleepingkogoro]

[Sure, let's do that. Deep breath, press, and hope it is not all horribly over]

[trustharder]

[NO ZOOM FOR YOU. You can't see anything in detail, unfortunately.

You can keep messing with the buttons but you won't find anything new. Congrats, Yosuke! You found everything for this panel!!]

[trustharder]

[Not at all. These are totally different people.]

[garudynamic]

[ /o/]

[amygdalae]

[She certainly looks regal as hell, Bruce will give her that much. And with that umbrella... parasol?

He glances over to where Stan brought the items from the shelves. Is the parasol from that the same one as is in the photo?]

[trustharder]

[GREGARIOUS. At least he's not a cute girl!]

[notjustawriter]

[Jesus Christ.

Gabriel has never been the sort to want children, but even as someone who doesn't particularly like kids, he's starting to feel incredibly angry at what he's seeing.]

[trustharder]

[Who'd you pick, Mouri?]
