Final Investigation.

[trustwellness]

The Wordsmith's message earlier this week was an ominous one; try as one might, it's difficult to ignore completely, especially with such few details provided to the group. "The end" is such a vague description; however, it does mean one thing, and that's the promise that all of this will come to a close, one way or another. He's promised you one other thing, however – that being that the only way to leave the building is by way of Rule Seven. The chimes ring out, as they always do, on Friday morning; a thorough check of the building will bring with it the realization that no one has died as of last night. There are no bodies to be found in any of the rooms; Kageshirou remains in the foyer, but in general it doesn't seem that anything has changed. However, it's plain that you're all getting restless, and perhaps understandably so; there's only one thing to do in that sort of circumstance, isn't there? After all, you've gotten good at this game; you know what happens on Fridays around here. There are a lot of places to check; just as a bit of advice, you might want to start on the lowest floor first. Other than that, however? You're on your own. Best of luck to you. >Explore?

[This one's a particularly dry tome on philosophy... But there's something slipped between the pages that might be worth more than the book itself!]

[elepe]

[Score. Lusamine's gonna pluck the fuck out of this precious little thing, taking it right outta the book. What do we have here?]

[trustwellness]

[A note! It's written on plain paper and it reads:

The current energy source is limited and gradually becoming less and less efficient. I need to find a more easily renewed one if this is to continue.

That's definitely not ominous!]

[elepe]

--Energy source...?

[What the fuuuuuuuck? ...okay, she's. Keeping this, this needs to get back to the crew asap.

...right then, well. Lusamine's gonna get another couple of books out and see if there are anymore notes inside. Because what the fuck. What kind of energy source are we talking here, if we can find it, this is ominous...]

[feistytrader]

...What did you find?

[He's wandering over to Lusamine to see what's up.]

[elepe]

[She'll pass the note right over to Silver, looking highly perturbed.]

A note. It looks like they're using some kind of energy source, but for what...I do not know.

[feistytrader]

[...That's kind of ominous and creepy. He'll pass the note back.]

And what kind of energy source are they using in the first place?

[elepe]

...It doesn't say. But...the books have been of rather interesting genres, so that may help explain it? There was one about cross universe travel, one about philosophy, and one about the nature of souls, and also seems of the philosophical nature...

[...concerns are rising like hell, not even gonna lie.]

[feistytrader]

...Let's meet up with the others.

[Because the conclusions he's jumping to here are unpleasant as hell.]

[trustwellness]

[It doesn't look like there are any more notes to be found (and if you're really determined and you look through all the books, you'll find there aren't any more notes at all) but the book you're looking through is kind of important. It's about the philosophical nature of the soul, which is exactly as dense as you'd expect.

And with that you guys have found everything in here! Well done!]
