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!]

I don't know either. Are we broadcasting?

[That's probably bad.]

[pokexplorer]

It seems that way...

But to whom?

[That is the worrying part.]

[cherryblooded]

...Wonder where the Kingmaker is right now.

[pokexplorer]

[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?]

[cherryblooded]

He wants us dead. There's a very real possibility this is some kind of trap.

[Don't mind him just... coming close to Colress and Yosuke right now. He's worried.]

[pokexplorer]

[Colress likewise moves to group up, but he looks more deep in thought than anything.]

It is a very real concern, but... We just saw the others safe and sound, correct? So we at least know that they aren't involved in a trap. We should think similarly for ourselves.

[...He's looking around, though. If it was a trap, would the Kingmaker have allowed them to snoop around for so long? He could've just gotten them immediately.]
