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!]

[trustharder]

[DING DING DING, you're correct!]

[notjustawriter]

Jesus Christ.

Just how long has this sick game been going on?

[trustharder]

[Pressing random buttons has done something - the screen turns off entirely.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Speedwagon-san, if anything happens to me, don't touch any other names in this podium.

[...his own name. That is his choice]

[cherryblooded]

...well, alright.

[He's just going to press the button that turned it on the first time again. There are more buttons to push!]

[pokexplorer]

[As Yosuke goes through the shots of control rooms...]

I believe the more concerning thing we should consider is the fact that there are multiple control rooms for multiple events like this.

Is there some sort of network connecting all of them...?

[amygdalae]

...they're the same.

[It's more to himself than to Stan and Gabriel. There's an unsettling feeling in his stomach now, one that he can't shake off as he notes to dwell on this discovery later.

Anyway, moving onto the next folder now. (If there are any left.)]

[cherryblooded]

Simultaneously running murder vaults. Just what we all need.

[goodforsomething]

...shit, you're right.

[Stan lays out the items on the table for easier reference. Most aren't the kind of things to be in photos, he thinks, but still.]

[trustharder]

I CAN'T DO THAT.
I WOULD PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING, THOUGH, YES.

[trustharder]

[The screen turns back on and the following is displayed:

RESTART BROADCAST Y/N]

[notjustawriter]

....Then these other items probably belong to people from previous games, too.

[goodforsomething]

At least they weren't all kids.

[Are there any left?]

[cherryblooded]

[He's going to press the random button that led to him turning off the screen. That one's Y, hopefully.]

[trustharder]

[TIMELESS. Another guy!

And there are two left!]

[goodforsomething]

See if any are wearing this big-ass anchor.

[trustharder]

[TORRENTIAL. Dayum.

There's one left!]

[captainobnoxious]

[She knew it. They're alike (enough), after all, and after a moment to...

...

Oh, she and Black are the only ones in here now. The other two must've figure out the door. That's nice.]

What's that room back there for? The one that the detective and Speedy went into.

[trustharder]

[It looks like it! The screen is focused on your room again, congrats?

You've found everything here! Unless you want to keep turning things on and off you're all done!]

AREA CLEAR

[trustharder]

[amygdalae]

[Wow this looks like some really intense Japanese guy here.

...at least he doesn't seem horribly young like some of the others.

Okay. Let's look at the second last one now after clearing this one and see what photo it has for him.]

[goodforsomething]

...oh, nevermind, here's anchor guy. Some kinda weird pirate?

[trustharder]

[...That was very brave, Mouri, and you should be commended for it.

As it stands, nothing will happen to you! ...However, that circle in the center of the room will react, and a projected image will form after a moment.

...It'd look just like you if Speedwagon weren't, y'know, standing in the damn middle of it.]

[trustharder]

[Well, just fine to stand on, though you'll have company(?) after a moment.]

[trustharder]

[Stan's actually got that one, so you've got the last one!

INTUITIVE. And here he is!]
