Final Investigation.

[trustmods]

You've all done very well to make it this far, but it's not over yet. The Conductor has been silent for the past few days. An uneasy peace has fallen. No one else has died, but does that really mean we're getting close to the end? But then, perhaps it's time to take some initiative of your own - to hold someone accountable for things they actually did, rather than punishing your own for acting out in a situation none of you asked to be in. A couple of you have some unused keys that you might want to try to use on the seventh floor. There's a room along the southern wall that hasn't been opened yet; that might be a good place to start. Are you ready for the final investigation? [OOC: Once you've gotten the western wing of the building open, the floors you'll be working with will look like this, with rooms A and B on each floor open for investigation; the red area in the southwestern corner of the floorplan contains a spiral staircase that leads between floors, though after the fourth floor down, the door leading into the building proper will be locked. Those four floors are yours to explore, though!]

[...Well, Blue still has those keys from the dead guy, so she's going to try those out instead.]

[trustmods]

[Congratulations, the door is now open!

Inside is a hallway, leading down to another door. About halfway down there's an end table with something sitting on it.]

[withabigsmile]

[Stealing dead peoples' shit sure comes in handy.]

So! Who's first?

[sunsong]

I'll go. If we send you in, there's gonna be a dead person.

[ I MEAN...

BLUE'S LUCK. ]

[ninehundredlives]

Have you got a weapon?

[look Susan's pretty worried about things jumping out at people]

[sunsong]

I'm really good at dodgin' shit. And my purse is heavy enough to swing at people, so whatever.

[ SHE'LL GO STRAIGHT ON IN AND CHECK OUT WHAT THAT SOMETHING ON THE TABLE IS before anyone else can object. ]

[ninehundredlives]

Alright...

[Susan's just gonna. Go after her. She's got a sword and like two knives so.]

[sunsong]

[ probably for the best, sol clearly needs an adult...though she really doesn't seem concerned. PROBABLY BECAUSE OF HER PRISON ISLAND BACKSTORY, TBH. ]

[trustmods]

[It's a box! It's not particularly big or interesting-looking, but there is a lock on it.]

[sunsong]

[ IT'S STILL COOL. Is it pick upable? WELL, EITHER WAY, she turns around and...shouts at Jean... ]

JEAN. Key key key key! Open it!

[ Sol........Jean's probably busy with Weiss or smth? Chill out. ]

[blazeit]

[ he'll call back in Jean's place because he's a bro ]

CAN YOU GIVE HIM LIKE HALF A MINUTE, he's kinda busy.

Getting busy.

If you know what I mean.

[ such a bro ]

[sunsong]

THEN TAKE THE KEY FROM HIM AND OPEN IT.

[ Just like, pick his pocket, man. ]

Otherwise I'm gonna shake it and guess what's inside, fair warnin'.

[ She probably won't do that. ]

[blazeit]

I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE MOMENT, OKAY?

[ Like they're not ruining it discussing it as it happens... ]

[sunsong]

[ shouting it even... ]

IF YOU PICK HIS POCKET RIGHT HE WON'T EVEN NOTICE!

[ninehundredlives]

Don't do that, it might be fragile.

[Susan's just gonna pick up the box GENTLY and look at it.]

[sunsong]

I don't break things on accident, don't worry.

[withabigsmile]

They picked a hell of a time to decide to be lovebirds, didn't they?

[Despite her words, she looks amused.

Too amused.

At least she isn't giggling?]

[blazeit]

Well hey, nothing like laying it all on the line to bring out those last minute impulses.

[ ... he's so serious about this... ]

[icysemblance]

H-hey, now.

[Flustered smiling.]

[openterrain]

Katsuki, shut up!

[ Jean stomps over, looking pretty aggravated with all the shouting - but he sees the lockbox and perks right back up. ]

-- I'm coming, I'm coming. [ Time to pull off his necklace and stick the key in the lock and...! ]

[trustmods]

[Click! Congratulations, you've opened the box. It seems like there's...

...is that another fucking key. Who does that.

Congratulations, you're in possession of another key!!]

[sunsong]

Yes! It better be something neat.

[ LEANS AROUND HIS ARM since she's too short for over the shoulder shit, just kind of up in his space in a friendly manner SINCE SHE'S NOSY ]

[blazeit]

[ He senses Jean's aggravation but he doesn't care, have two solemn thumbs up. One is for the kiss, the other is for fiNALLY THE KEY MIGHT WORK? ]

[withabigsmile]

...Good idea.

[Thanks, Sol.]

[sunsong]

[ LOOK

she's just looking out for you, blue

also, you only ever find dead people... ]

Let's get at it!

[ and the smallest person remaining just darts through first because she's impatient tbh ]
