FINAL INVESTIGATION


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.

[ She remembers the bang. Remembers seeing the pair of them around, but they were just strangers sharing a space back then. She didn't notice them.

Or rather, they didn't notice them.

But now she actually knows them and knows Appy. She also is now Cinque as well, so it actually all hurts. It really, really hurts. ]


That's... Cinquey isn't okay now.
latebluemer: (どういうこと)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She had to look away from their faces at most of the last part -- but that means Aoi focuses on other things, even as she instinctively pulls closer to the others at the raised voices and the sprays of blood, the gore all across the room by the end of it. Ichigo's distraction and changes in expression. What exactly pulled the trigger. The clatter of petoskey stone in the midst of skull before she squeezes her eyes shut, takes a moment or two to try and shove away the sight of someone she knows and doesn't know dying right there.

She's seen plenty of it on this mission, and if she wasn't entirely prepared for it here, that's probably her own fault. She opens her eyes at Cinque's words and then reaches out to lay a hand on her shoulder.]

... That wasn't okay. It was... We knew what Reyes-san did. [but yeah, now they get to see it in technicolor 3D and she could have lived without ever seeing any of that; her eyes narrow a little, though she's staring fixedly at Cinque rather than anywhere else] And his powers.

[Getting to the guy is going to be a shitshow, huh.]

[Tsumugi's actually pretty okay with this memory. She's seen worse. This only gets a concerned look at the others and raised eyebrows. Two tendrils of hair split off to go and comfortingly pat Aoi and Cinque on whatever shoulder is closest to Tsumugi. She's quiet to try and give Cinque and Aoi time to collect themselves before speaking up.]

Umm.... are you guys ready to move on?

[Miscommunication killed Ichigo, but hopefully it won't belatedly result in Reyes' death too.]

[personal profile] whirlingmace 2019-01-05 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Let's be brave for a little longer. Putting her hand over the hair baby and Aoi's hand for a moment and then nodding. She really appreciates you, Moogie and Blueski. ]

Yeah, we're ready.

[ She can cry all she wants later... let's keep going. Also Gabe, didn't you learn to clean up after yourself.

She's quiet for once, no longer bouncing or trying to keep cheer going through the hall. Just focusing on pressing forward. Once they are at the door, she'll look back at them to check if they are good to go before opening the door. ]


Hello?
latebluemer: (フィップスター)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah. But be careful with that door, okay?

[She does appreciate the hair babies' attempt at comfort, too -- they'll get a small pat before Aoi pulls herself almost all the way back together, loops her whip around both arms just to be prepared and... tries not to step in the bloody footprints. How long has that blood been there. Ugh.

Also, she's going to keep a hand on Cinque's shoulder to make sure she's mostly behind the door while opening it, or at least not just standing in the doorway, depending on which way the door opens.

Assuming it opens, and we aren't looking at another #doorgate at the last stretch here.]
jumpedtheshark: (Eyes closed neutral)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2019-01-05 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[Tsumugi nods and stays in the back as usual, nimbly stepping her way around the bloody footprints. Her focus is more on the door though. She's figured out the pattern by now and is preparing to be bombarded by another memory.

Probably not one as educational in gun use as the last one, but, she'll take what she can get.]
stepsinshadows: (08)

CW: BUGS

[personal profile] stepsinshadows 2019-01-05 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Actually, it's no memory this time. It's an actual person.

The man is currently shirtless, and seems a bit distracted with trying to pry a bug off of a partially-formed hole in his chest without harming said bug.

He's actually got one of his hands on the bug's tail when the door opens, and he just. Freezes and looks up.
]

...

I don't know what you three are up to, but you picked a really bad time for this.
whirlingmace: (✿1)

oh look he had a friend this whole time

[personal profile] whirlingmace 2019-01-05 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's surprised for a moment and actually starts to move further in the room. She's relieved cause here he is! And he's still okay... as okay as he can be given the circumstances. ]

Hey hey, Outsider. How are you doing?
latebluemer: (絶対勝つ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, no, Aoi still has a hand on her shoulder holding her back. She kind of thought this might be the real thing and she's pretty wary of the shadow problem here?? She's not here to be dragged into the Shadow Realm. I'm never going to stop making that joke. She's peering over Cinque's shoulder mistrustfully at both Gabe and his little friend.

Also is his chest turning to shadow or did he just lose a chunk of it or what.]

Cinque. Slow down. [Hm.] Reyes-san, what is that thing?
Edited 2019-01-05 07:21 (UTC)
jumpedtheshark: What's that? (Neutral Curious)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2019-01-05 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[This turn of events actually surprises Tsumugi, who after a few moments of shock, smiles slightly at Reyes.]

It's great to meet you face to face. But... umm...

[She glances at the bug and shadows. She remembers the latter acting on their own in the memory.]

Is it safe to get near you right now?
stepsinshadows: (01)

he's had a friend for like two days

[personal profile] stepsinshadows 2019-01-05 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Let's just keep you guys over there for now. Just to be safe. This damn bug Granz put on me won't hurt you, but I can't make any promises about the shadow.

[He's going to give up on removing the bug for now though, and he sighs irritably as he grabs his shirt and hoodie and pulls those back on.]

I'm not going to ask 'how', since I'm sure the boxes weren't that much of a challenge, but why? Shoulsn't all of you be leaving?
Edited 2019-01-05 07:32 (UTC)
whirlingmace: (✿10)

It's still a friend and that's important to her?

[personal profile] whirlingmace 2019-01-05 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! So Prince Alfie helped you out! I'm really glad.

[ And she's putting a hand over Aoi's for a moment to just pull it off. Her expression goes from the friendly relief, to something determined. ]

Not without you, Rey Rey. Let's leave together.

[ Sorry, she has a mission and she has promises to keep. She intends to keep trying to help him and get him out. ]
latebluemer: (説明しなさい)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Cinque.

[Aoi is going to bodily move to try and block if she tries to get too close right now.

The bug is weirdly reassuring, actually, but she's not happy that Gabe is probably armed and has eldritch shadows and could potentially hit whatever button is still working after the Resort and the staff have shut down. So.

(Also congrats on your new nickname, Rey Rey.)]

I get that you want to help him, but we have to be careful. We won't be able to do anything if we don't watch his powers and whatever else is going on here. [...] What is going on with the bug?
jumpedtheshark: Uwaaah! (Shock)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2019-01-05 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Cinque, you umm... shouldn’t touch the bug.

[Not until they know what it does at least. A sigh from Tsumugi. She turns her attention back to Reyes.]

But umm... yeah. We’re not leaving without you. I don’t think it’s plain possible to talk us out of it at this point.
stepsinshadows: (03)

[personal profile] stepsinshadows 2019-01-05 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[YEAH UH. That's why he put his shirt back on. Don't touch the bug plz, it's weird and also the only thing holding him together right now. Even if he hates it.

And to answer everyone else's questions, he just sighs and runs a hand through his hair. A frustrated gesture, mostly.
]

Long story short, it's helping me right now, as weird as that might sound. That psycho doc finally did something right.

[He starts to say 'no' to everyone's request to leave, but then he stops. And he looks at the girls for a while longer. The gears seem to be turning in his head as he considers a few things, and then finally:]

You know what? Fine. I'm tired of everyone bugging- bothering me about that, and if you three managed to get in here then I'll need to escort you out anyway. So fine. Let's go.

[Congrats on getting him out of the brain at least? Six weeks of effort at wearing him down has not gone to waste.]
whirlingmace: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (✿2)

[personal profile] whirlingmace 2019-01-05 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She was planning on staging a sit in. Just sit her butt down there until he agreed, but then he actually concedes. So she's happy that Prince Alfie did his best AND that Gabe is actually going to go with them. ]

Yay! Let's go, Rey Rey!

[ She'll wait until after him though just in case he changes his mind. ]

Did you know they all made it back okay?

[ The ghosts... in case he's worried ]
latebluemer: (えっ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Finally.

[That was easier than she was expecting, but at this point she ain’t looking a gift bug in the mouth. Pincers? Whatever. Occupy Brain 2k19 has lasted five minutes and it was already too long.

> Trust their luck
> Trust the tentacle doctor’s bugging adventures
> Trust no one

She’ll wait with Cinque, because honestly—]

We’re the ones escorting you out, I’m pretty sure.

[Blue Angel has joined your party! YEET yourself?]
Edited 2019-01-05 15:50 (UTC)
jumpedtheshark: What's that? (Neutral Curious)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2019-01-05 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
E-eh? Really!?

[Tsumugi is honestly surprised that he gave in that easily. She’ll take it though.]

Well... I’m plain happy that we’ll be getting out of here sooner then.

[She was expecting a MTB to be honest.]
stepsinshadows: (01)

[personal profile] stepsinshadows 2019-01-05 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Tsumugi, no gun friend today!

But speaking of the ghosts, Gabe looks directly at a seemingly-empty part of the room and points at it.
]

Don't think I didn't see all of you follow them in here. Get out too.

[Hm.]
whirlingmace: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (✿12)

[personal profile] whirlingmace 2019-01-05 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oooh. Ghost friends! ]

They were probably really worried.

[ Also hey remember that hand holding convo? Cinque is totally offering him her hand. ]

Ready?
latebluemer: (バサッ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2019-01-05 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aoi’s just going to blink and stare at the empty room and then... start laughing, a little, part relief and part at the ridiculousness of everything.

How many ghost friends did they even pick up, please.

She stops laughing when Cinque goes up to him, though, looking unhappy about it for a second before she sighs to herself and gets to what can only be described as slightly aggressive hovering. The ghost friends do make her feel better though.]

Well, it’s good to, um— [not see them, is it] —have them along. Let’s get out of here.

[Hopefully the way back is as straightforward as the way here??]
jumpedtheshark: What's that? (Neutral Curious)

[personal profile] jumpedtheshark 2019-01-05 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
They’re here?

[Well, that’s comforting. She can muse on that later though.]

Yeah, let’s leave.

[Before the other foot drops.]
stepsinshadows: (02)

[personal profile] stepsinshadows 2019-01-05 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's listening to the invisible ghosts for a moment, because they're saying something to him, but then he speaks in return to them.]

It's fine.

[Though when Cinque offers her hand, he holds up one of his own to wave her off.]

Probably a bad idea right now, kid. I'll walk out on my own.

[He'll leave the hand-holding for Aoi to do, since she's right next to Cinque and seems to care about her a lot.

But yes they get to walk out of the brain, and interestingly enough Gabe seems to know the way out! Dum de dum, they can bypass memories since he's not going to get stuck in those.

But when they get to the hatch, Gabe will go ahead and go up first, but as soon as he reaches the top he lets out a yelp of surprise and is dragged out of the trapdoor.
