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!]

[Oooh, folders!

She pulls them out and lays them out on the desk, then opens whichever one is left on top.]

Now what in the world could be in here?

[trustmods]

[Looks like you've got three of them, so let's start with folder #1!

This one contains information on Graceside Academy... though it looks like Graceside Academy wasn't always a murderschool. Who knew?]

[withabigsmile]

[...Murder school used to just be a school?

Well that definitely explains why the school theme's there at all.

What does it say about Graceside Academy?]

[trustmods]

[Once upon a time, Graceside Academy was a girls' boarding school. Who knew?]

[withabigsmile]

[...Oh, a girl's boarding school.

...

Well that makes sense, there is that one wood working room-]

Hey, Elise?

[They've already admitted to each other that they're losers.]

What's a boarding school?

[Because she's pretty sure a wood school is not quite right.]

[announcemyvictory]

A school people will send their children to, living far away from home. A lot of people will do it for the opportunities to learn. Why?

[withabigsmile]

Apparently Graceside was originally a girl's boarding school.

[So how the heck did the Conductor get involved?

What else of note is there to read about the school?]

[trustmods]

[Apparently it was government-sanctioned, though not geared toward any one discipline in particular.

There are some photographs though, indicating that Graceside Academy was once in a fairly-populated area.]

[withabigsmile]

[So... Not in the middle of trees and snow?

Well that's god damn weird.]

Hey Elise, check this out.

[...Check this entire thing out, government and schools and stuff might be more up your alley.]

[announcemyvictory]

[Elise looks over from the shelves.] Whatever it is, it's got to be better than the whole lot of nothing I turned up.

[withabigsmile]

[Blue passes her one of the folders.]

Could you help me cover this stuff, then?

[announcemyvictory]

All right, then.

[Folder 2, what do you have, what are the sordid secrets of murderschool.]

[trustmods]

[Folder #2 has copies of the 29 Participant profiles. There's nothing different in these, they're identical to the ones in the foyer.

There is one extra profile though.]

[announcemyvictory]

[An extra student? Who is this mystery person?]

[trustmods]

[It's a name you've probably heard numerous times before - it's Lisbeth. Her information is as follows:

Name: Lisbeth
Occupation: Librarian in training
Age: 19
Height/Weight: 176cm (5'9") | 59kg (130 lbs)
Likes: Reading, baking, cats
Dislikes: Failure, enclosed spaces
Title: Elusive

That's it for folder #2 though.]

[announcemyvictory]

That name from the note... Blue, this "Lisbeth" may have been a student.

[withabigsmile]

[Well while she's having difficulties with school terminology-]

It's the four!

[Blue.]

I thought she graduated.

[So why would she be with the rest of them?]

[announcemyvictory]

The what? [Blinks.] Well, I haven't heard all that much about her, but if she's graduated, why would she be in here? Her title's certainly accurate, if that's the case. We haven't once seen her.

[withabigsmile]

She's dead. Reaver brought her up. He said she's not attractive, and mentioned rule seven and rule five.

[She graduated, then attacked the conductor.]

MODS

[announcemyvictory]

In that case, I have no idea why she's shelved with our class. Let's see what that other folder says.

[#3, then?]

[trustmods]

[Folder #3 contains a set of rules that have been written out, though they aren't school rules. It looks like an agreement with someone who agreed to do mole duty, though it's very formally-worded and more like a personal contract than anything - an agreement that information is to be handed over and tasks carried out or "punishment" will be administered, along with a few idle notes in the margins that imply doubt that such a thing will be necessary, anyway.]

[announcemyvictory]

Was this yours or Sukuyo's? It wasn't mine.

[withabigsmile]

It wasn't mine either. Do you really think it was Sukuyo's?

[I mean, that would make sense, right? But...]

It looks so different.

[announcemyvictory]

Was it a draft letter, then? For the Conductor to use as a base, or... maybe it was Lisbeth's. In her own game.

[withabigsmile]

Ooh, a mole that graduated, then tried to kill the conductor. I like it!

[It's a theory, but it's definitely one that she's fond of. ...I mean shit she's glad this girl is dead and not here instead because she'd probably end up killing all of them, but. Still!]
