Final Investigation

[justsaysure]

[On Wednesday morning Michael appears again, this time looking over his back every now and again, as if he was worried about being watched. He knocks on everyone's doors to rise them, but speaks in a hushed tone when they finally come out.]

Okay, I think this is the best time we have to infiltrate the building.

[Whether your character is initially reluctant or not, you eventually follow Michael outside the hotel. He almost immediately takes a left into the fog.]

Let's see, I'm sure I remember where this is...

[After a bit of what feels like blind wandering, a mansion suddenly appears from the fog. From the incredibly run down nature of both the hotel and the park, it's honestly shocking how well kept this place looks.

When they enter into the building, they'll find that it's similarly well kept, but almost eerily silent. What's more is that the building is divided into two floors.

Michael looks thoughtful for a moment before turning to the others.]

We should probably split up to look for anything useful. I feel like there's enough of us that we could at least fend of someone if they try attacking us long enough to get the others.

[Hey even if you're uncertain of the claim, it seems pretty empty right now, so why not investigate?

Comments

Team A - First Floor

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Welcome Dinobot, Otis, Cleo, and Gandhi.]

[standsforrevenge]

[Gandhi don't trust like that.

Once Michael is out of sight, he whispers to the others.]

Anybody else think this is kinda wack?

[codeofhero]

It is indeed wack. Unfortunately, it does not seem like we have a choice in the matter.

[Hmm... he eyes the other group as they make their own leave.]

In any case, it would be smart for us to investigate as quickly as possible. Who knows what lies in this den of madness.

[But nothing bad ever happens in a mansion!]

[standsforrevenge]

But dude! What if this is a trap? He's been sneaking around us the whole time, and there's barely any of us left, and NOW homeboy wants to help us? By splittin' us up? On a Wednesday? People die on Wednesdays!

[codeofhero]

If it is a trap, then we have little choice but to face it head-on! The alternative would be waiting back there [points back to swackhammer avenue] for our inevitable demise at the hands of King Dice.

[studentbody]

People die on Friday, stupid. But...you're right that it's weird. It's, like, super creepy that he split us off.

[codeofhero]

[tbh dinobot just walks away from Gandhi at some point. They have work to do, and they won't get it done by standing around.

Time to see what the first room is going to hold in store.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The first room, and what seems to take up most of the first floor, is a... Swackhammer Museum? What?]

[codeofhero]

[Oh. splendid, the thing he'd hate the most.

There's a lot of Swackhammer stuff in here, huh?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[c:

There is though! The first exhibit seems to be detailing Swackhammer's early life, which seems to include him child Swackhammer beating up some poor mascot character while at a theme park.]

[studentbody]

[Since it seems like Dinobot has the creepy museum room covered, Cleo splits off to take a look at the next room over, as much as this whole place gives her the creeps.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The next room over is... well, it looks like a security room of some sort, filled with monitors.]

[studentbody]

...Ew, nerd stuff.

[Guess she's investigating some nerd shit and not at all in over her head. She goes over to one of the monitors and takes a look. What's going on over here?]

[standsforrevenge]

[And despite not wanting to split up further, Gandhi ends up wandering off on his own anyway. Anything to check out?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Hey there's a greenhouse in the back! Wanna check that out?]

[standsforrevenge]

[Sure, but he's gonna pick up a stick and throw it in there just in case there's some kind of man-eating plant lying in wait.]

[udderly]

[let's pretend otis, unlike me, is not several hours late with starbucks.

what room is he investigating here.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well...

There's, uh, one of the three rooms the others are already investigating?]

[udderly]

[listen what if i just trash the weed farm instead

what if that]

Team B - Second Floor

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Welcome Penny, Wonka, and Beth.]

[oh_worm]

[ beth is here, she has a makeshift cloth headband, she's Ready To Rumble ]

Alright, spooky mansion time.

[ what do we got up in here ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[One she gets to the top of the stairs, she'll notice that there is a hallway with three doors. They all seem pretty identical on the outside.]

[in4apounding]

...Should we split up, or check them one at a time, you think?

[They're pretty close together? But also this place is creepy.]

[in4apounding]

[Well, this is probably fine and in no way suspicious. What kind of layout are we looking at on the second floor here?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Not suspicious at all!]
