FINAL INVESTIGATION

FINAL INVESTIGATION

Time continues to pass. And before long, it's the end of the week once again. Maybe it feels strange to call it that when there's such little sense of time besides the changing phases of the moon, and maybe the exact day doesn't even matter to you anymore. But regardless of the day, regardless of the month, regardless of the year, one thing is certain:

The time for preparations is over.

Because as the moon in the sky shines blood red, it becomes clear that all of the fog and the tremors were nothing but omens for what was to come.

And so, on Friday morning, Survivors will find themselves waking up to the sensation of energy practically buzzing through the air, prickling and tingling on skin like static electricity. Those who venture outside will also find that the fog that's creeped up in the recent days has been dispelled entirely, which includes the impassable kind that once hid a number of the buildings. Despite this, the tremors themselves do not lessen, and in fact, the earth itself seems to be vibrating with this energy as well.

The feeling will only get worse as the day progresses, and those who have been marked by the manifestations may feel more restless than normal.

The clock is ticking and there are some new areas to explore. No one's coming to save you, so there's nothing to do but to save yourselves, right?

[Nope, the schematic doesn't look familiar at all. It depicts a coffin-shaped machine, with a large antenna on the very top. Every detail of its internal workings is shown, but it's just so unbearably technical it's impossible to understand.

For some reason, beside the coffin-shaped machine there's the outline of a blank, doll-like mannequin, as well as indications on how it fits into the machine]

[deadlygoals]

[ Hmm... not sure if we like that. Okay, let's gank that and then check out what's in the familiar looking folder. Is there where the last two pages are? ]

[umbralant]

[Bingo, Dazai. These sure are two pages, marked with 3/4 and 4/4.

There goes the 3/4!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Guardians. That reminds him of a certain lady their friends in Twilight brought up before.

Okay okay let's see the final page. 4/4 let's go ]

[umbralant]

[4/4 is...noticeably short.

4/4

Yay.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Oh that's not good.

Let's leave those there for now, and pull out those brass boxes. What do we have here? Anything in them? ]

[umbralant]

[Let's see...looks like these brass boxes are a perfect cube! Dazai will be able to take only one at a time for examination, due to their size. They're relatively heavy, but that's because of the material.

Looks like they're perfectly sealed, opening them is impossible. The shell feels very cold, and while moving them Dazai would feel something sloshing inside.

Hm? There is...a name engraved on each one. Four brass boxes, four names.

Shin. Ango. Noelle. Dist.]

[deadlygoals]

[ He almost drops it as soon as he gets to Ango's name. Then just... sets them on the table. All four of them.

There's no dents, lines, or anything?

Is there anything else about them to note? Anything else under the table? ]

[umbralant]

[Nope, nothing like that on these! Looks like they're hermetically sealed, and there doesn't seem to be any tools around here that could be of help.

That seems to be all there's in this part of the crypts. You're clear, Dazai! This dead end tunnel is done!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay, time to go rejoin Rean and Raven in a bit ]
