FINAL INVESTIGATION

Morning comes on Friday, just like any other.

Or not. You're all still alive. The walls have held. You all have held.

One way or another, this is the last day you're going to be in here. You've spent so long at the whims of the man who owns this place, so long playing along with this game...

Wouldn't it be nice to beat him?

Time to investigate.

[ Ah, that seems to do something! A floating holographic screen shows up in front of her: ]

SELECT EXECUTIONER?

[ !

Is there a... list of names under that? Can she scroll through? ]

[ Yup! There's a listing for everyone - including Angel and Cassandra, weirdly enough? Seems like you pick for the person. ]

[ Are there any unfamiliar names, or is it just their group plus those two? ]

...Hey, Therion. Remember when I talked to you about VR?

[ Just this group and them, yep! ]

[ Cool, great. No other options given here? Because Rin is a little reluctant to select anything to see if there's more to do in this menu! ]

[ There's a little counter above that's at "1" out of 3 - maybe it's like ordering a pizza and you need to go through the steps! ]

[ Okay... Well, if there's no way to page ahead without picking, she'll at least select someone who isn't here! Like... Della Duck. ]

[ who's this guy? ]

[ ......

She shouldn't do this. She absolutely shouldn't.

Rin unselects Della and selects Rin Tohsaka. ]

[ hey there rin! ]

[ She doesn't know what else she expected, and yet, ]

You bastard...!

[ no one answers

i'm gonna go ahead and call this area clear since you found the main thing, but feel free to keep messing with it! options 2 and 3 are location and scenario, with the first one giving a couple person-specific options and the latter allowing someone to write in How It Goes Down ]

[So selecting stuff makes it appear on the holographic screen, right? Do the walls change at all?]

[ h...uh...

That last bit is both pretty advanced and pretty creepy? Like the Professor has been writing death fanfiction of everyone for the last two months...

The thought is off-putting enough that Rin looks for a way to close the menu, just waving it away if all else fails. ]

Think there are other rooms down here to find?

Probably, but I'm not sure where else we should look. Think there's a tunnel all the way down to the trial room?

Of course I do.

[He stoops to try to scratch at the floor with a combat knife, to see if it'll do a thing.]

Technology to create a made-up space for just your mind. Right?

I think the executions we've been watching are a... projected VR. Hard light stuff, like Jasper or Rose's bodies.

You can tell just from this?

Look at this menu.

[ She jabs a finger toward the words "Select Executioner." ]

...

[Well.]

Try my name. If Cassandra's had to do this every time, I think we'll be all right if we stay over here.

[ Rin shrugs at that. ]

It's safer to go through it for someone who isn't here at all. But if you want to see...

[ Rin selects Therion. ]

[ well i've been told that when he's a boss battle he doesn't actually get 20 feet tall in-lore, but ]

Well, that figures.

Honestly, I don't know what either of us expected.
