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.

I hope that's not what this was for. [who would they even war against...

ANYWAY back to looking is there anything else over by this here table.]

[There is, actually - it looks like there are some fragments and shards of broken gems over here, scattered among the metal that's been pushed toward the edges of the table.]

... [oh god what if these are like. jasper's cousins or something. oh god.

JUST KINDA. CAREFULLY PICKS ONE UP. TURNED AWAY FROM HER. SO SHE DOESN'T SEE HIM MANHANDLING HER DEAD COUSIN.]

[You are a true gentleman, Sportacus, thank you.

...At the very least it doesn't look like Jasper? So it's got that going for it, which is nice. ...It doesn't have much else going for it but you know what, at least Jasper probably isn't going to have the world's worst family reunion today.

Probably.

Um.

...Anyway, if you don't want to dwell on that, there's also something that looks like paper on the table, a bit further back.]

[oh papers are nice. he'll go pick that up too. did someone write a full confession? please?]

[It looks like a note! Maybe you're lucky and it's a signed confession, wouldn't that be-

Fueling it should take no more than one or two further groups. Depending on the rate at which they kill each other, the finale may yet be even sooner than I hoped.

...THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT.]
