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!]

Okay. Let's take these with us, shall we?

[Already packing up the folders. ...she considers taking one of the heavy books off the shelf, but decides to leave them there.]

[withabigsmile]

Of course! I wouldn't dream of leaving them behind.

[announcemyvictory]

[Out of here and on to Room B, then... no death traps?]

[trustmods]

[Room B does not have any death traps, thankfully! Instead it looks sort of like the conference room, only there are boxes sitting on the table.]

[withabigsmile]

[No death traps means Blue's digging right into one of those boxes. Isn't it nice to investigate stuff that's too small to be a body?]

[trustmods]

[Yes, it's definitely a nice break, isn't it? And in this lovely box you'll find...

Blankets. That's a fuckton of blankets. Uhh. Maybe try another box?]

[withabigsmile]

[...She is stealing as many of these blankets as she can fit in her pillow case and Wiggly's arms first, but yes. Let's try another box--!]

[trustmods]

[...Matches. Well, this explains how he could replenish them...?

THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM, HOPEFULLY??]

[announcemyvictory]

[SHE'S ON THIS NEXT ONE]

[trustmods]

[RELEVANT STUFF, thank god!!

Looks like you've got folders and documents... basically a lot of handwritten notes. Ready to get reading?]

[announcemyvictory]

[Sure! What's the one on top say?]

[trustmods]

[The notes are in the Conductor's handwriting, and they seem to be about... a bunch of full names that don't look familiar at all. They aren't names from home and they aren't the names of anyone in the academy... with the exception of Lisbeth, whose last name was listed but has since been censored.]

[announcemyvictory]

Ah... Look at this, Blue. I believe it's the first class list. She had a surname, but they've blocked it out -- do you think it means it would identify her to any of us?

[withabigsmile]

[...You mean she has to stop looting boxes?

Damn.]

It's definitely important somehow, isn't it? Are any of the other names blocked out?

[trustmods]

[Nope. Nothing else is blacked out, but none of those names are familiar to anyone here.]

[withabigsmile]

[...So what do the notes about these people say?

Especially about Lisbeth, but she's not going to pass up learning a little about the last class.]

[trustmods]

[There's no specific information about the people listed, unfortunately. These look like research notes, however - there's discussion of memory loss, though it's all very vague, with no real idea what caused it. Eventually the Conductor seems to have dismissed it as a freak occurrence.]

[withabigsmile]

[Oh good, they're not the only ones that lost a bunch of their memories.

Man she really hopes her friends aren't rocks.

What else do his notes say?]

[trustmods]

[Up next are notes about physical oddities and missing abilities. It seems like there's no idea what caused those either.]

[withabigsmile]

[...Well that's a really happy accident, isn't it.]

The conductor took powers away on accident, from the sound of it.

[What else do the class of dead now notes have to say?]

[trustmods]

[Below that there are notes about the universal language comprehension, with arrows pointing at the ability loss and "relevant??" written nearby. Looks like the Conductor has no idea about that either.

Unless you have other questions, you're all done in this room too!]

[announcemyvictory]

He had no idea what he was doing, and it all still happened again to us anyway?
