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?

[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!

[Ooh, technology. Unlabeled technology. Why doesn't anyone put words on these things? Or even just letters?

He's going to press the button next to the screen.]

[It turns on! The following words appear on screen as well:

SETTING: MANUAL

It'll fade after a moment and you'll find yourself looking at... well, yourselves. It looks like there's a camera in this room too!]

[Hi, us.

Let's shake things up a bit, let's mess with a dial!]

[Looks like you're turning the volume of the console up! Wow, how useful!!]

[Super useful.

What about the sliders? Those do anything?]

[Looks like you're zooming in and out again!

...Maybe try the buttons.]

[He was getting there! He had to be thorough, sheesh.

Okay, let's try a random button.]

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

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

Next button!]

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

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

Next button!]

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

END BROADCAST Y/N]

[...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.]

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

...well, alright.

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

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

RESTART BROADCAST Y/N]

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

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

What.]

Broadcast...?

I don't know either. Are we broadcasting?

[That's probably bad.]

It seems that way...

But to whom?

[That is the worrying part.]

...Wonder where the Kingmaker is right now.

[Oh...

Colress glances around the room on instinct as Cherryblod says that.]

Good question. This should be his base of operations, yet he is nowhere to be found.

...Though if he wanted us to search this room, perhaps he doesn't want us to face him just yet.

[...He did do this, didn't he? Who else could?]

[Makes a rude gesture at where he guesses the camera is based on the angle

[don't flick yourself off yosuke, god]

[Why not, he is a fucker]
