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?

[ This is why he lifts. And there's nothing else to note about the room unless Iago wants to take her make up or something. You're good to go! ]

[psychophant]

[Is he really petty enough to steal the Lady's makeup...???? Yes, of fucking course he is, who do you think he is. Can't really call it the final investigation if Iago isn't looting, now can we??? His now!!!]

[drydrown]

[...Meanwhile...]

Iago, if you could assist me in removing the cats from Teru Mikami - are you stealing her makeup.

[...Well, that was a brand new sentence.]

[psychophant]

[looks up from looting]

Of course I am.

[gotta secure his place as the pettiest person in game!!!!]

What happened to Teru Mikami? Did he let them swarm him?

[drydrown]

I let them swarm him.

[psychophant]

His sacrifice will be remembered.

[rip your suit, mikami.........]

I need him to carry something, so I'll help. What did you find in there? Besides cats.

[he's not even going to ask why. there's no point.]

[drydrown]

...A few things. Rembrandt is an odd man.

I assume you finished everything in the basement?

[psychophant]

I did yes, shortly after you ran off on your own. You worried Teru Mikami, you know. You owe us both an apology.

[drydrown]

[...Okay, wait. We're not having this discussion in front of the Teru Mikami in question. He can be covered with cats for another short while.]

...I owe you both an apology for worrying Teru Mikami.

[psychophant]

[.............]

Of course. I had to deal with him worrying. It was dreadful.

[d-don't call him out like this???]

[drydrown]

It was likely incredibly stoic, all things considered.

Everything is fine. I didn't like standing there being idle, so I thought I would come up here, that's all.

[psychophant]

You should have let us know. We were both almost done anyway, and you could have found something other than a room full of cats up here.

[..........it's kind of hard to be annoyed when that's a sentence you have to say out loud...]

[drydrown]

...I didn't mean to scare you. Is that better?

[cumore]

[psychophant]

You scared him not me.

[iago doesn't get scared, shush!!!!!!!!!!!]

[drydrown]

[Just. Deadeyeing. Forever.]

[psychophant]

[goes back to looting makeup!!!!!!!!]

Anyway, I need him to carry that machine. [gestures toward it] It's necessary for reading her notes.

[it's not like he can carry it with his amazing strength stat of 0??? but even if he could he'd just try to make mikami do it, so.]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Yeah, you just take your time with the beauty products, Iago, your carrier lawyer is only dying one room over. Thanks!!]
