Final Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Wednesday morning is unusually calm for the first few hours. Maybe you woke up and had a nice breakfast to start the day, or decided to hang out in the spa to ease off some stress from the weeks, or maybe you just slept in today because frankly, you all deserve it.

Until around noon, where Rod’s distorted voice calls through the entirety of the hotel, sounding unusually panicked.]

[He is suddenly cut off. No matter how long you wait, he doesn’t speak again. But, despite his warning, nothing dangerous seems to be going on, at least on the floors you normally have access to.

However, if you’re in the lobby at the time of the announcement, you’ll realize that the door that was open yesterday when Benny arrived is once again mysteriously open, seeming to beckon you. Whether you decide to all go as a group or go down alone, you'll find yourself going down a hallway splitting into two paths. And if you decide to take one way alone you'll soon find yourself in a group of three other people, going into the unknown.

Even with the apparent threat of danger according to Rod, it seems like if you have any hope of escaping, you have no choice but to investigate the one floor you haven’t looked at yet.]

Comments

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's nothing else really of note about the room, although it is very eerily quiet in here.]

[forgottenfounder]

....Everyone be careful in here, alright?

[Tentatively, he takes a few steps in...]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[His footsteps echo through the room, once again reminding him just how creepily silent it is in here.]

[lusito]

[... If worse comes to worse, at least we've got a sword?? Will that make it less creepy in here...]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Perhaps, but no matter where you look, it seems like you're the only people in this room.]

[tadaishi]

[At least whatever was in the glass pod isn't also lurking around?

Or is it?]

Maybe we should check the other room...

[forgottenfounder]

It's not like there's much else in here. Maybe that's a good idea.

[Whatever gets them out of here sooner...]

[nocasetoobig]

[Even with Zero's light, there's nothing really to be shown, huh?]

...maybe we should go, guys.

[tadaishi]

[Tadashi's going to leave first, if only to get away from the eerie feeling the empty and quiet brings.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope! There's just one room left.]

[nocasetoobig]

[Alrighty well let's go on in!]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The last room is not unlike the previous rooms, although it seems like it's been very recently lived in. There's a typewriter on a desk, the garbage bin is currently full, and it seems like someone has been putting up a conspiracy theory wall in here.

Sitting in the center of the room is a broken tv set. It seems to be laying on its side right now.]

[tadaishi]

[Damn televisions.

Gonna investigate that television! Is it smashed or just not working?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It looks pretty smashed.

... Also oddly enough, for being an old tv set, it seems to have a VHS player built into it.]

[tadaishi]

[Interesting. Is there anything in the VCR right now? Smashed or otherwise?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is a tape that is fully intact.

Wanna see if it works at all, Tadashi?]

[tadaishi]

[Sure, as long as it isn't cursed or something. He'll set the TV back upright and push play on the VCR.]

[nocasetoobig]

[just coming to land here by Tadashi don't mind him]

1/2

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The TV set flickers to life, although with the broken screen it's impossible to see anything, however, suddenly audio starts playing...]

[keyofimagination]

[There is a groaning sound like someone just woke up from being knocked unconsious, before there's a familiar, albeit still distorted, voice.]

[well chip's just gonna

in midair there, wide-eyed at the TV set. it almost looks like he's seen a ghost - other than Ghostave, anyway]

[yourghosthost]

[He resembles that remark.]

[nocasetoobig]

[GET BACK IN THE OTHER GROUP]

[tadaishi]

[Only if you know how to use it.]

[lusito]

[ssshhh it's fine we know what we're doing]
