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!]

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

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

[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.]

[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]

[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!!]

[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...?

[cherryblooded]

Simultaneously running murder vaults. Just what we all need.

[garudynamic]

The Kingmaker can't be running ALL of them, right...? At least one of them is still going on right now!

[cherryblooded]

Maybe he has friends. Business acquaintances. Something like that.

[garudynamic]

That's terrifying... We gotta stop those games too!

[Yosuke you gotta SAVE YOURSELF first]

[cherryblooded]

We will. We'll find out what's really going on and put an end to this.

[pokexplorer]

Well said, both of you.

[garudynamic]

We gotta save ourselves first, but this isn't over by a long shot.

[This is horrific, but he's got this odd almost manic grin.

If the other vault was real, then maybe... good, he can't help but hope]

[cherryblooded]

It's far from over. As long as they're alive, there's hope for them.

[There's hope for his daughter, and that means that Cherryblod can smile.]
