trusthell | Final Investigation.

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.

[Looks like there might be a door back here.]

[Does that door have a keyhole?]

A-aah...! I found something- get the others, it's a door!

[It looks like it does!]

[A keyhole that can be opened with a gold key, maybe?]

[Actually?

...No.]

[...Well damn then, better go look for a box-]

We don't have any other keys, do we?

[...Well, I mean, you are messing with a shelving unit to get at the door.

A shelving unit with a box on it. Among Noir's other crap.]

[...IS IT A BOX WITH A LOCK OR KEYHOLE. LIKE MAYBE ONE THAT CAN BE OPENED WITH A GOLD KEY.]

Edited 2017-03-24 16:43 (UTC)

[IT SURE IS.]

[WELL DAMN, LET'S OPEN THAT SHIT UP. WHAT'S IN THE BOX?]

[Things that are not in this box:

- A bunny
- A kidney
- So many snakes
- Detective Mills' wife's head
- Diamonds or someone's soul, depending on who you ask
- Another box

Things that are, in fact, in this box: a key.]

[Aw I wanted a kidney-]

...Who does that?

[Despite his confusion, Silver tries the new key on the door-]

Edited 2017-03-24 16:53 (UTC)

[Who does that indeed.

You get a satisfying clicking noise for your efforts, though; good job, the door is now unlocked!

It looks like it leads into a hallway of sorts; proceed?]

[You know, that was weird, but hey. Now he has two keys.

Either way, he's eagerly heading on in.]

It's open. Let's go.

Yes, let's!

[ Elda sure will press on into the hallway trying to be first, so as to make up for her earlier failure!

... No, she is not wearing shoes. ]

[...Lusamine is going to be walking right next to Silver, just in case--if Kageshirou decides to attack or something. We're not letting the teenager die today.]

This should be entertaining.

[...just let Lusamine run out after rummaging through her bag, she could've sworn she brought a--aha, there's that megaphone! So, she'll shout from outside of the ballroom--]

Everyone, please come to the Ballroom!! We've found a new door in the back!!

[Jasper wasn't that far away, so she comes rushing in pretty quickly.]

[Alright, well, come on--Lusamine's gonna lead over to the unlocked door and to where Hanyuu and Silver are, practically preening at this. They're gonna get into someone else's business~]

It looks like we've hit the jackpot, hm?

[ LIKE A BAT IN THE NIGHT ELDA IS THERE.

AND- ]

Why do I never find these things?!

You're still tired.

[console console]

[ ... To be fair, yes, she is ]

I got dressed up and everything.

[ :T ]

[flips the fuck over here]

[...well. That was--]

My, you're quite enthusiastic. Glad to see it, Sportacus.

[Come on, let's go to hell!!]

Well, it's very exciting, isn't it!
