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.

We may as well go clockwise, then. [which would mean west. she glances once at them, before opening that door]

[foundationmods]

[West leads them into yet another hallway, which takes much longer to traverse - they walk for what feels like hours - but at the end of it, they find....

The pool? It's another recreation, but a single look will tell you it's not water in there, but...some kind of cerebral fluid.

Much like before, the lights flare to life -]

The man and the boy are standing near the wall in the pool room, specifically the exterior wall. The man has a rather large sledgehammer, and the boy is standing there watching. The boy, for his part, has a skeptical look on his face, and his arms are crossed in front of him.

“It’s not going to work.”

The man scoffs at him. “It’s going to work. They can’t keep us trapped here.” He sounds more tense and focused than he has in previous videos. This is the sound of a man on a mission.

The boy still sounds unconvinced. “They said to just wait - Reyes, it’s not like they blocked anyone from leaving before-”

“Things are changing,” the man says, interrupting the boy as he hoists up the sledgehammer, “Those things, they’re changing this hotel. We have to get out of here, and we can’t wait for this damn place to decide to open up its doors.”

The man then hoists up the sledgehammer and starts going to town on that wall, breaking off siding and getting under the drywall. It takes a while to work through, but after a minute or so he’s started to make a pretty good dent in the wall. He’s not all the way through yet, but he’s making progress.

Then several staff members come closer, looking nervous. “Sir,” one of them says, “We must ask that you please do not damage hotel property!”

The man ignores them, and he keeps swinging at the walls. The boy looks to the man, then to the staff, then back and forth a few more times. He’s clearly conflicted here, but he looks like he’s about to do something when -

One staff member, carrying a stun gun, steps forward and shoots the man with it. The man lets out a cry and drops to the ground, convulsing slightly as he lays there.

The scene ends with the boy screaming out ‘GABE!’ and running to the fallen man’s side.

[And when it ends?

The floor drops out from under them.]

[ WELL, THAT SUCKS.

He'll... try opening a portal, or something. He'll try catching the group, or something. If it doesn't work, it wouldn't be the first time he's just fallen into nothingness. :)

If it's just a short fall, though... Eh. ]

[foundationmods]

[The portal, thankfully, works!

Actually, it's working - wait, this is - a little too well-

With a sudden woosh, they all end up falling directly from the darkness portal into the first floor pool.

Good hustle, team.]

[rosebridled]

[ Well, since she gasped when the floor dropped out, she's now suddenly inhaling water, so. Cool.

Coughing, she makes her way to the steps out of the pool with Chu-Chu paddling behind her. Let's find a towel... ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Well, it's a good thing he got those lessons from Cinque...!

He's going to be making his way to the side of the pool, as well, though it's a bit slow. ]
