THE FINAL INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

[A new day comes - and with all of you rested and well, it's time to go back to that door -

back to the alleyway in Waterfall, where the door lies.

Going through it will reveal the room there was before, but...

This time, there's an elevator in the middle, with only one button.

Down.

Hitting it and getting on will eventually take you...

To a dimly lit place, lit only by the thin strips of light from the floor. You can see three ways to go from the elevator - North, East, and West.

It's quiet here, just like everything else.

But...

Finally, you feel as if answers are in reach.

Here...in this hidden, True Lab.]

((OOC: 3 MAXIMUM TO A THREAD, please!))

NORTH

[foundationmods]

[The hallway somehow seems a little darker than the other two, though it's surely just your imagination.]

EAST

[foundationmods]

[There's the faint smell of dust and wind down this way, along with the occasional faint clack of bones.]

WEST

[foundationmods]

[It smells like tears and papers, this way.]

DISCUSSION

[foundationmods]

[For those staying at the elevator, or discussion of what others have found while exploring the lab.

You may discuss to your heart's content, as freely as you'd like.

There will not be a trial tomorrow - so speculation is encouraged.]

[dereban]

[Okay, but is it tears or is it tears.

Nevertheless, papers are great so let's gooooo.]

[Sir Thing Already Has A Piece Of Me Do I Want To Risk More? Yes But People Will Yell is eyeing all these corridors and the surroundings.]

No wonder so many of the killings happened near the Waterfalls...

[justonezero]

[As one last song by [ ] fades on his phone, he looks to the west.

Who else is coming?]

[finalring]

[ bones! a great sound to hear ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Might as well investigate the sound]

[white_camellia]

[And she'll be coming along as well, as a bodyguard. She's transformed, of course.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Tears and papers? That sounds appropriate for Karen. Also y'all need a fighter in your group.]

[foundationmods]

[Heading down the hallway, you eventually run into a monitor built into the wall.

It's off, but it looks like it can turn on with a touch.]

[finalring]

I wonder...

[ well let's touch it, then. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...]

Can either of you think of any particular reason we shouldn't turn this on?

[Ren summons Horus to cast ambient light, turns on his Third Eye and goes into the dark

[justonezero]

[He's certainly looking at the numbers for everything, although he'll avoid looking too closely if it seems brain busting.]

[dereban]

... No, but Yoshi might be able to check, just in case.

If anything's too much, I can stop it.

[Which is good news but yeah, we're not touching the screen yet just in case it's a trap. Better safe than sorry!]

[white_camellia]

[I mean, it's probably just a monitor so it's probably fine... Still, if this suddenly turns out to be a trap, she has my swords, which haven't failed her yet when it comes to dealing with traps.]

[foundationmods]

[It turns on.]

ENTRY NUMBER 5

'I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO WAYS TO SLOW THE PROGRESS OF 'FALLING DOWN' AS A SIDE PROJECT.

IT SEEMS TO BE CORRELATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF DETERMINATION WITHIN THE SOUL. MONSTERS THAT ARE ON THE VERGE OF FALLING DOWN HAVE INCREDIBLY LOW AMOUNTS OF DETERMINATION.

THE SOUL NATURALLY BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN OVER TIME - BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE INTRODUCES EXCESS DETERMINATION TO A SOUL SO LOW IN IT?

WOULD IT BE ABLE TO SAVE THEM?

[that's all that's there.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock nods, wary but let's see what tbe monitor has]

[foundationmods]

[For Yoshi, The Numbers all look normal.

It's a perfectly normal screen.]

[romancekiller]

[clarke is just going to follow along here!! time to investigate what is in this hallway]

[white_camellia]

"Use poison to deal with poison", is it...?

[She can't entirely disagree with that method either, since that's basically what she's decided her purpose is as a magical girl.]

[justonezero]

...Looks normal. We should be okay.

[Time to poke the screen.]
