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.

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.

[swordhandled]

Now this will be fun.

[13thpromise]

[ ...??? ]

We press more buttons?

[ He's probably somewhat musically inclined (singing wise) since he's half-Disney but. Also what is he even looking at here.

What happens if he tries to push a button in the first column? Does a sound come out? ]

[foundationmods]

[It does play a sound, yes!]

[dolleyed]

[ Better question yet, do our box buttons make a sound when pressed individually? ]

It's a melody lock, we gotta play the right tune.

[foundationmods]

[Actually, yes!

6 of them seem to hit an E note, and 6 hit a d.

However, now you have to ask yourself - are you looking at a major or minor scale?]

[swordhandled]

[ pulled out his notebook and was writing that down as each note is played ]

Hmm... E's and D's.

[13thpromise]

[ Melody lock, huh...? ]

E's and d's...?

Wait, wasn't there something the ghosts found too?

[ The "eeedddeeeddd" thing... ]

Do you think it has something to do with that?

[swordhandled]

Perhaps!

[ tries... it? ]

[foundationmods]

[Is it according to the major or minor scale that he's trying to input this?]

[swordhandled]

[ mmmmmmajor ]

[foundationmods]

[It doesn't work.]

[swordhandled]

[ SO A...

MINOR

INCONVENIENCE.

switches it up ]

[foundationmods]

[Owain explodes.

Okay no but I hate you for that - The notes play as it's switched, and the panel slides back closed - before the hatch to the trapdoor opens, leading down into an area of flickering lights.
