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.

A... cake?

[ reaches for it and starts fiddling with the box, messing with the lid, trying to see if it just........ slides off ]

[foundationmods]

[You can see where the lid should open, but the box appears to be locked. Gotta solve the puzzle first.]

[13thpromise]

[ He likes sweets, so this is sad that this is not a real cake. :( ]

...Let me give it a try?

[ He's gonna take it from Owain if he allows it to happen, and try to see about flipping the box up into the air and catching it a few times. Does anything happen? ]

[foundationmods]

[There's a rattling noise, like a piece is loose on the box somewhere! But throwing it alone is not enough to get the box to open.]

[dolleyed]

Hey, gimme that.

[ Kohaku will now grab the box and see if any of the ornaments on the lid are loose and can be turned. ]

[foundationmods]

[Ding ding ding! The rightmost fruit slice can be removed!]

[dolleyed]

[ Let's do that then and see what happens. ]

[foundationmods]

[Now you have to eat it- no I'm kidding, the box can be opened now.

Inside is another button, just like the 11 previous boxes.]

[dolleyed]

That was... almost too easy.

[ Only two failed attempts?? Doesn't sound like them. ]

[13thpromise]

[ He smiles ]

It just goes to show you that we all make a pretty good team!

[ ... ]

Should we look around some more or grab all of the other boxes...?

[swordhandled]

We should probably take a quick look around before grabbing the other boxes.

[ already looking under the bed ]

[foundationmods]

[...Owain.

The other 11 boxes are in the storage room.]

[dolleyed]

Well, you can stay with the pillow lady if you want, but I'll go and put the boxes together.

[ They're short on time after all. Before turning to leave, Kohaku faces the rats though. ]

Thanks guys.

[13thpromise]

No way!

[ Roxas comes after him, and then as Kohaku thanks the rats...keep walking, but saying in passing: ]

Yeah, thanks.

[swordhandled]

Thank you for your service, my dear rodent companions! This venture would not have been successful without you.

[ ... taking the daki and nodding at the rats as he goes after them ]

[dolleyed]

Why are you bringing that along?

[13thpromise]

Yeah, that's kind of weird...

[swordhandled]

It would be a shame if this pillow is lost!

[foundationmods]

[Once again: degenerate.

Anyway! The other 11 boxes are all here and open. So that's 12 boxes with buttons that need to be pushed.

What do?]

[swordhandled]

[ POT MEET KETTLE ]

I suppose we should push the buttons now.

[dolleyed]

I can take a few.

[ And suddenly he has knives between his fingers. So many knives. He's just going to place the boxes so that he can have the tip of each knife penetrate a button - they're like extended fingers for bigger range! ]

[13thpromise]

Okay, that sounds good to me.

[ That's certainly...unique but kind of cool too, so.

Roxas just summons both Oathkeeper and Oblivion, using both Keyblades to shoot out a light from each keyblade towards a few of the other buttons for activation purposes at the same time. ]

[swordhandled]

[














just using his hands to push buttons what is wrong with you two?? ]

[foundationmods]

[From over by the first box, A panel slides open.

Inside of it is...

grooves in the shape of a music staff, with buttons on each line and space.

There are 12 columns - enough for one button to be pushed in each column.]

[dolleyed]

[ Kohaku just wolf whistles at that. Probably not an appropriate reaction to a new puzzle, but... ]

Finally something up my alley.
