trusthell | Final Investigation.

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?

[Oh, that's a good point.]

One second.

[He disappears into his room - it's right there - and returns with a couple boxed lunches, some rations, some oiltatoes, seven of the weird-looking croissants, two bottles of ramune, and two cakes.]

Here's what I have.

I have some cake left too. Oh and... erm... something from home but I doubt anyone wants that.

Try me.

... you don't want this, Sigrun.

[A Look, kiddo.

Don't test her.]

Honey, if I'm ready to wear this damnable dress, then you can bet your ass I'm ready to try your... whatever it is.

[...]

But if it's something to be celebrated with, then I'll have it once we figure out what the hell is up here.

Hey, the dress looks good there's no comparison here! Mystery Food X has no goodness in it. It is the anti-good, it sucks the good out of your life and leaves only pain.

We'll see about that! I'll come out on top, don't you worry, but we'll leave that for later. Just keep it for me.

Sure man... not like I'M eating it.

[How... menacing.]

...With a name like that I'd say it's got to be something wicked.

It's evil is what it is. Hold up.

[It's in his bag, in a tupperware cuz of course it is- and when he opens what looks like MIGHT have intended to be curry at one time- a smell comes out.

If smell has a color this shit is toxic purple. he closes it again fast before he can accidentally gas the party and end the game early]

...did you cook it?

[He has tried your food but for all Mouri knows the Mystery Food X is something you made time ago and would rather forget]

Oh GOD no, my friends Chie and Yukiko fed that slop to me and Yu once. It has to be almost a year old now! Don't ask ME how the Kingmaker got it and got it ...fresh?

It's that bad?

--By the way, you're coming with me and Colress, if that's acceptable.

Yeah, that's fine. And trust me you don't want it.

I'll believe you. You might have to show me how bad it is later, once more important things are settled.

Heh, sure thing. That way if you throw up it won't be in some weird mystery room.

...Thank goodness our rooms have their own bathrooms.

I've got some rations and those little boxes, I'll grab those. We've all got weapons, right?

Of course.

Yeah.

[They definitely need to be prepared for... whatever it is that might happen.]

Anyone's welcome to any of mine if they want them. Aside from what I'll be grabbing, obviously.

Let's see... couple of sets of throwing knives, couple of swords, a pike, and a flail. Try not to pick something you don't know how to use, don't want anyone to hurt themselves.

Plenty. [Do we need a sledgehammer? Cause he's got one!!] Seems like that's the one thing we've got no small shortage of.

I'm still knife central, but I got another pair of brass knuckles if anyone wants them.

[And some arsenic, but that's staying with him]

I'm fine with what I've got, don't worry.

[A trusty blade. It's good. Possibly won't be set on fire this time, though.]

[A nod.]

My Pokemon are on standby in their balls.

I intend to take at least one with my group, but if anyone would like one for their group, they would be happy to assist if need be.
