FINAL INVESTIGATION

Everyone's time is running out - but on friday, the lights return back to normal light, and the rats squeak loudly, clawing at the plastic of their little closed off areas.

Something is happening - and it seems the time has come for action.

Comments

GROUP ONE

[foundationmods]

[The rats continue to squeak and basically do the equivalent of rat hollering.

Who'll go check this out?]

[13thpromise]

[ He'll head over to see what's going on. ]

...Hey, what's wrong?

[dolleyed]

[ Yeah this is... Hm. Time to stare at these rats skeptically. ]

They're not moping anymore, but is that a good sign? Probably not.

[swordhandled]

[ goes up to the rats ]

What seems to be the problem? [ talking to rats? sure why not ]

[foundationmods]

[Well, the rats seem to be heading in a certain direction once you three are paying attention to them. Maybe follow them?

They're going down one of the hallways on the first floor and to one of the unused bedrooms. And then they squeeze under the door of said bedroom. Hm.]

[swordhandled]

[ tries the door really quick ]

[dolleyed]

Think they found the final box or something?

[ Just waits and sees what Owain's success with the door is. ]

[13thpromise]

Maybe? That'd make sense as to why they're excited, I think.

[ So hey maybe it is a good sign after all. Let's also wait for Owain trying the door to however much success that is. ]

[foundationmods]

[Congrats, you have defeated the door with much less effort than the mods thought you would put in. Owain is the smart one in the group. (wow, it's weird typing that.)

Anyway, the door opens, and it's a bedroom! It looks normal, except there is a giant body pillow of Bayonetta on the bed. Oh, and it looks like something is under the body pillow too.]

GROUP TWO

[foundationmods]

[Just like before, the rats begin to squeak loudly, trying to get out of their containment.

Hm...]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Oh.

Well.

He'll be heading over! ]

[wrongtiming]

...That’s not normal.

[So yeah, he’s heading over too.]

[rosebridled]

[ She's already kneeling down in front of the barrier, looking concerned. ]

Is something wrong?

[ Besides the obvious... ]

[justfists]

Are they trying to warn us about something...? [obviously, she's also heading over there.]

[foundationmods]

[A rat tries to clamber up one of their arms - it clearly needs to point them to an area they can't get to in the tubes.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ ANNNND someone is. Not happy to see Makoto, and the brief narrowing of his eyes will make that obvious.

Also, he's not going to be getting close to any of them, but he's going to be lifting his eyebrows as they? climb someone?? ]

Guess so...

[ Dully, to everyone's questions. ]

[wrongtiming]

[...]

I think they’re trying to point us to something. Which... is only about as weird as anything else that’s happened here, I guess.

[So he’s going to try to get a better look at that spot.]

GROUP THREE

[foundationmods]

[Hello everyone, it's time for rat party!!!

The rats are around again, and they're trying to get people's attention. Come see what they want!]

[whirlingmace]

[ She's here ]

Hello, what are you guys up to?

[ Let's see what they want. ]

[latebluemer]

[She's apparently gotten to the point in her life where a rat party is a positive thing.

So. That's a thing. Duckless and rockless and so on it is. They are full furry highlander up in here. Aoi's going to crouch down and examine the rats...?]

Yes...? Did you find something interesting?

[jumpedtheshark]

They seem plain excited about something.

[Tsumugi hums in thought.]

Maybe it's like the hamster in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box and they're pointing out a hint coin?

[foundationmods]

[THIS REMINDS ME OF A PUZZLE!

Okay no not really. The rats are leading the group right to the third floor storage room.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Wow Rats. You couldn't even start out with a meal before whisking girls away?

But okay. Let's go. She's snagging Moogie's and Aoi's arms! ]

Maybe! One way to find out. Let's motor, girls!

[ To adventure ]

[latebluemer]

I don't know if it's the time to motor, Cinque.

[But it's more dry than anything. It's obvious that the rats have been hard at work and she is curious to see where ADVENTURE leads them this time. To the storage room, apparently--]

[jumpedtheshark]

I don't think we need to speed run through all this...

[Glancing down at the rats.]

We don't want to step on anyone or knock anything over, right?

[Or pull a Shirou and destroy evidence.]
