FINAL INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

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.

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?

[mouflon]

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

[bolderfell]

You can tell just from this?

[mouflon]

Look at this menu.

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

[bolderfell]

...

[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.

[mouflon]

[ 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 ]

[bolderfell]

Well, that figures.

[mouflon]

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