FINAL INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Good morning, passengers. You've made landfall.

The ship arrives at the shore of the island early in the morning, suddenly grinding to a halt for the first time in weeks. A ramp is lowered directly onto the beach, and The Captain almost immediately hops down it, laughing the whole while as he does. Jones stands on the ship, not following, and The Captain addresses you:

"Don't take too long! We have business in that lighthouse, you and I."

Without another word, The Captain heads towards a path on the beach that heads lighthouse-ward, but not before turning back again.

"And Jones! Head to your ship and ready the crew for when this is over."

Jones seems... not quite content to do this, whatever it is, but after a minute or so for any last conversation, he vanishes into a wall.

With both of your captors no longer on board, the ship is quiet. Its engines are stalled, the journey over. If you wish to survive the day, you're going to have to go onto that island and face The Captain once and for all.

But first... there are some areas you definitely haven't explored yet! If you're going to go in with all the information you need, might be time to take advantage of this situation...

FINAL PRE-INVESTIGATION CONVERSATION

[thekeyofsea]

[ Talk amongst yourselves, or ask Davy Jones for IC guidance if you want it! ]

[jibunwo]

...Thanks for the heads-up. I don't suppose you're able to give us any advice before we run off to do something mad and reckless?

[cethflayn]

...Might I give you a hug before we begin?

[Are you a hug denier, Davy Jones]

AREA 1 - THE CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

[bathymetric]

[ Come on in, Lelouch and Magica! ]

[jibunwo]

[He's all packed up with a bag full of junk, letters, a school uniform, and a helmet. So fuck it, let's pile into the elevator looking for trouble to cause.]

[If nothing else immediately stands, out, he's going to go straight for the desk I'm assuming is there and start rifling through it.]

[bathymetric]

[ There's some other stuff to look at in here, but the desk is a decent place to start for sure!

First off, the surface of the desk isn't organized - in fact, it's pretty messy, all things considered, especially by comparison if you've been in here to talk to Jack before. ]

[jibunwo]

[yeah that about scans to his impression of jack as it is, much less our terrible eldritch buddy.]

[What's the state of it; are we looking at a mess of paperwork, junk, paperwork AND junk?]

[magycks]

[ And on his heels is the tiny duck, comedically oversized velvet bag attached to her staff, attempting to physically push the tinier coin shark golem into the elevator. The siren song of Jackbucks is apparently too much for her to withstand! ]

I swear, I will disassemble you coin by coin and leave your remnants at the bottom of the ocean for some dork in a submersible to come upon...!

[ But okay, whether or not Tiffany makes it to the office, if Lelouch is going for the desk, she's looking for the voodoo dolls! We've got priorities here, folks. ]

[bathymetric]

[ The voodoo dolls are indeed pretty easy to find! There's one for each of you still alive. ]

AREA 2 - THE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

[bathymetric]

[ Located above the office, this one's for you, Data and Filbo! ]

[ahelpingpaw]

[Filbo is as ready as he can be. There he is, with his simple backpack full of stuff. You know how hard it's to shove everything in there while also making sure not to bang anthing up? Other than the basic stuff he tried to get in the bags he gave around, he also has a polaroid camera, a dozen undeveloped film rolls, the circlet Freyja gave him, B.B. encapsulated in bandages rubbed with chocolate and with its pillow, the other two Strabbies handled with far less care, and...the ketchup plant. The goddamn plant that by now is as tall as Filbo, in its flowerpot and right at the top of everything, like a huge beacon signaling where Filbo is standing. He definitely is going to be spilling ketchup pods wherever he goes. Thanks, Filbo]

Alright...here we are. With some luck we won't find any more weird voodoo!

[Let's go, Data, it's time to turn this place upside-down]

[ltcommandroid]

[Data, for his part, isn't quite so encumbered. But with a normal bag, a cat backpack filled with two or more screaming cats, and possibly part or all of our dear friend Jimothy Buffett, he's definitely a lot more weirdly encumbered. He's also brought a camera, just in case, but at least that can hang around his neck as though he were a weird tourist.]

Would you like some help carrying something?

[ahelpingpaw]

No, no, it'll be fine. I already practiced walking around with all this!

[Probably spent the entirety of Tuesday doing so all over the ship, hah.

Alright! Looks like they're both ready, yup. Time to take the usual cursory look. What's the room like?

Ah, the answer to that question has been posted below]

[bathymetric]

[ With any luck!

It's a nice little bedroom - when I say nice, I do mean Really Fancy. A beautiful four-post bed, sheets that are like ten times as soft as any of yours...

Looks like there's a writing desk and some stuff over by the window on some tables, if you want a couple convenient places for investigators to investigate! ]

[ltcommandroid]

[oh great of course there's a fancy bedroom

Anyway, Data's attention is drawn to the writing desk, obviously! What's going on here?]

[ahelpingpaw]

[Of course it'd be fancy. Only the best for Jack, probably]

I...think I'll take a look over there...

[To the tables, yup. So! What's the nature of this stuff over here?]

AREA CLEAR

[bathymetric]

AREA 3 - THE THEATRE (BACKSTAGE)

[bathymetric]

[ Come poke around in Davy Jones's business! Yeager, Flayn, and Zaveid, here's your area! ]

[scythegun]

[Finally... He's been waiting weeks for this!! Hopefully Davy Jones doesn't mind us being rude and investigating now; it's not like we'll have another chance at it, anyway.

So aside from the organ, what all does this place have to take a look at? Yeager's going to dump his stuff off near the entrance, though he's keeping his massive scythe with him.]

Let's get started, ja?

[bathymetric]

[ There's not a whole lot out here in the open - the stage is pretty bare today, but... there's stage left and stage right, if you've wanted to peek behind the curtain and head backstage! ]

[sivard]

[...man. It's hard to believe there's so few of them now. It's kind of alarming. And they have no time for this.]

...What do you think he's been hiding back here? This entire time he hasn't acted like this was his choice, after all.

[cethflayn]

[Boop boop here is the smol, let's follow Zaveid and Yeager into here. Emily is coming too.]

I wonder if Mister Davy Jones left anything behind for us.

[bathymetric]

[ Out of curiosity, Flayn, are you heading stage right with Zaveid or stage left with Yeager? Those seem to be the two places to go to find that sweet sweet Evidence. ]
