FINAL TRIAL

Alright, that's enough snooping around for one day. There's a door in the underground tunnels that lets out beyond the vault door, just use that to get to the elevator. One of you has a damn staff keycard now, might as well just have you use it, since apparently I'm down both of my Assistants. The code is 020594.

[ As you head in and punch in the code, the elevator rises up to meet you one last time. And one last time, you take the ride down into the depths, evidence in hand. Something stirs in you - hope? Dread? It's hard to feel nothing at a time like this, don't you think? Even if it's just being really angry at The Professor.

When you reach the bottom, the dome is the same but you find the setup itself changed wildly. There's no sign at all of the original podiums or where they were, just a number of sleek new ones and a box of frosted glass. It stands out in stark contrast to the inky blackness of the sea outside. The lights don't reach out of the dome at all, and within the dome they illuminate the silhouette of a man, sitting at a desk, hands folded in front of him.

The Professor is here. You hope. Do you have any choice but to believe he's here? ]


Take your places, boys and girls. It's not what I think any of us anticipated, but it's time for your final trial. There are several questions I expect you to be able to answer, the largest being, well... tell me where you are and what you're doing here. Though I suspect first you'll want to talk over your... evidence.

[ Welcome to your final trial. ]

—That's him!

[ YOU SEE WHAT SHE MEANS RIGHT... HE DEFINITELY HAS A DUMB SMIRK ON HIS FACE ]

Did you find that today?
bogwife: Placed a cold towel upon my head (My mother came to my bed)

No, the vending machine gave it to me a few days ago. He looks like kind of a smug jerk so Mia and I blew off a little steam last night with it. [She lightly taps the marker mustache.]

philoxenia: (so what are you gonna do--)

... It seems possible.
bogwife: "Could you wait to call me another day?" ("Oh Death" someone would pray)

[personal profile] bogwife 2020-05-30 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh. Oh, that would explain a few things. [Just gonna...carefully set down that plaque.] Probably not the snacks and things there were a lot of but the single items we didn't recognize like this.
nothingcanstop: (and i got my first job)

...I brought as many weird things as I could to Cassandra one night, to see if they jogged her memory. Some of the more unique ones did.
bogwife: Oh, Death (The earth and worms both have a claim)

I got some kind of glass that I made into a necklace. [Della would remember it from earlier in the week and last Thursday especially but she's notably not wearing it now.] I wore it when I went to see her and she recognized it even though she said she didn't...and then Angel confirmed it was hers.
