FINAL INVESTIGATION

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It’s Wednesday morning, and when the 8 remaining guest wake up, they’re greeted to a soft song playing in the distance. Even with the stress of the past few months, the song helps puts the living guests at east, a beam of hope in the dark times.

As the guests go to investigate the noise, they will find themselves heading to the casino. On a nearby card table, there is a pigeon with a key in their mouth, they’re docile enough to let you pet them if you want, but don’t expect them to stay around for long. As soon as all either guests enter the room, they drop the key and fly away.

A small note is attached to it, reading:]

I wish I could help more, but this key should help aid you on the journey that lies ahead of you. I believe in you all.

-Walt

[When they look for the door the key works on, they’ll quickly realize that there’s a locked door near the back of the casino, the key is a perfect match for it. When they open the door, they are greeted by a stream of moving carriages, Doombuggies, as it were, heading towards an inky black tunnel. It’s not exactly the most… normal way to investigate the mansion, but according to Walt this is the best bet you guys have.

As the remaining guests get inside the Doombuggies, they’ll find that the dark tunnel seems to stretch on forever, and you can feel them slowly go down, down, down. You might start to wonder how this tunnel even fits into this mansion, but this mansion never fit into normal reality, has it?

Eventually, as the Doombuggies take you further and further down, the guests will start to notice a branching path in front of them, either through sheer coincidence or some presence guiding the guests, they will find that no matter what they do, they’ll find themselves evenly split, going through the separate forks in the track.

It keeps going until soon, the ride comes to a sudden stop. A voice is heard through the halls.]

Playful spooks have interrupted our tour, please stay seated in your... Doombuggy. We will proceed in just a moment.

[But no matter how long they wait, the “ride” doesn’t start back up again. While it’s still dark down here, there’s enough light to make out a passageway besides the buggies, no matter which path the guest ended up taking.

Investigate?]

[Hey, Lefou, what have you got over-oh.]

Huh, guess there's more to this place then just the spooky hallway.

[Eh, she gives the door a try.]

[Tightens grip warily on his oar and comes up to a position to easily guard Wendy...]

[aboyandhiscar]

[Is the backup Backup with his chrome skull in hand. What awaits them!!]

[chainbroke]

[ Right next to LeFou in Mulan's armor!! She's ready 2 fite. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's admirable how on-your-toes you all are despite being in a much less disastrous situation that Team A is in so far.

The door opens to a relatively bare, but serviceable bedroom. It certainly lacks a homey touch, but it's not overly threatening yet.]

[toogoodforhim]

[...Huh.]

Well alright.

[What kind of furniture and lighting are we looking at here?]

[chainbroke]

It looks so... normal.

[kindaruledatit]

Could still be a trap. Everyone be on your toes.

[Not... not literally though. That'd be weird.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's a well-made bed, a nightstand, a trash bin, a large cabinet and a dartboard. The lighting is rather dim, though something about it unnerves you.]

who plays darts like gaston

[chainbroke]

[ Is there.... anything on that dartboard? ]

who smells farts like gaston

[toogoodforhim]

[While we're at it, anything in the trash bin?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's a few crumpled up pieces of paper, an empty bottle with what appears to be some dried blood around it, a bit of stuffing and a handful of buttons.]

[toogoodforhim]

[...When you say stuffing do you mean like fiberfill or did somebody lose thanksgiving dinner in here

Also gonna just. Ignore the bottle for a moment and unfold those pieces of paper. Rudimentary reading skills go!]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Fiberfill!

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is, actually, a drawing of a person nailed to it. There's also what seems to look like the corner of another picture sticking out from under it.]

[chainbroke]

Oh...

[ She'll move it aside to see the other one. Who is it..? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The rest of picture looks to have been ripped off the dartboard, with only that top right corner still being nailed into it. Nams could probably spot a bit of black hair from the remnants of it.]

[aboyandhiscar]

[NEAT...

Mike goes to check the cabinet. Slooowly opening it.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are...26 voodoo dolls here.

18 of them have pins in them.

They look familiar.]

[aboyandhiscar]

[Uuuuuuuh.

Examine closer!! Do they look like our crew, past and present? Which have pins?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[They do!

The little Fiddleford, Sophie, Lea, Tarzan, Tadashi, Sylvia, Jiminy, Tip, WALL-E, Wander, Mulan, Star, Anna, Maui, Karolina, Kiara and Demyx all have pins in them. That 26th one is that weird fat guy from the 3rd trial, who also has a couple pins in 'im.]

[kindaruledatit]

[Split up and look for clues? Sure, she can dig it.

Let's go see how well-made that bed is.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Very well-made. At least somebody in this home is neat and tidy.]

[kindaruledatit]

[Someone really put a lot of work into this, huh. That's cool.

She throws the blankets off.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...Skull bedsheets.

That's extra.

It looks comfortable, though!]
