FINAL INVESTIGATION
FINAL INVESTIGATION
No announcement, or gruesome discovery greets you today, but you probably don't need to be told that it's time to make a move given the ominous change in the atmosphere, and in the weather itself. Sometime in the night, the stormclouds have moved in, darkening the length and breadth of every island and blotting out both the sun and moon -- it seems your summer vacation has ended. What's worse, if you're looking carefully as the stormfront rolls in, you'll spot the telltale shimmer of the distortion; not just low down on the sea or landbound as it usually is, or even up in the heights as with the waterfall.
No, these seem intertwined with the clouds themselves, descending from the heavens like divine catastrophe. Louder than any thunder or lightning -- the telltale rumbling pitch of the dimensional warping is overlaid with the watery wailing you heard last week, but much closer. Multiple whirlpools have opened up around Sungem's Peak, while snaps and booming across the water belie the safety of the other islands.
Attempting to travel away from the main island will tell you the following: several of the railways have been beset and partially destroyed by both whirlpools and aerial distortions. If you manage to get far enough to see the other island destinations: the peak on Kingfisher's Retreat seems a lot lower than before. The planetarium has vanished from Dodo's Outlook. And there seems to be a small tornado cresting the back of Seagull's Playground. Is that a go-kart caught in the whorls???
Beneath the storm-driven sky, the haven of Sungem's Peak carries an audible din of future tidings as well: what whirlpools haven't set upon the ways off the island have shaved off at least some of the shoreline and, judging by how loud they are, the singing fish are not having a good time. The disturbances in the water are enough to have the tide itself receding from the shore, farther than it's ever gone: to the point where the continental shelf is exposed, baring parts of the sea floor and the island that haven't been accessible until now.
While the dead have provided you with a map, it's not a GPS; you'll still need to navigate your way into the inner workings on the island and confront whatever challenges you find, along with your two administrators.
Hopefully the encouragement of those beyond the grave will be enough to buoy you as you descend into the depths of the island, since it's just you, and the scream of the waves. (( OOC: Welcome to your final investigation! While we will provide AREA CLEARS, the choices you make here will affect end game. Good luck!))
cw; gore
The final file was added last week and is a video file. It opens from an aerial perspective smack dab in the middle of a scene; Shigaraki and Overhaul are easily recognizable, along with a gaggle of unknowns behind Shigaraki:
"Question is...who's gonna step up to lead?"
"If you're saying this knowing full well who my master is...is this a challenge!? The next leader ...is me! I'm gathering forces and expanding our operation day by day. And I'm gonna use that power to annihilate this society of heroes."
"Got a plan?"
"A plan? Didn't you come here to join our little gang?"
"Having a goal without a plan just makes you a daydreamer, and daydreams don't make for a good sales pitch. What happens once you've expanded? How're you gonna use these people? What's your management strategy for this organization?
You can barely handle the ten or so wackos you've got already, and you wanna recruit more? No point in amassing power you can't control. You need a solid plan to make your goals a reality. And I'm the man with the plan. So no...I didn't come here today hoping to work for you."
Ignoring Overhaul, Shigaraki looks to the costumed guy in latex.
"Twice...I'd appreciate it if you could vet applicants before bringing them here."
"The plan I've got requires a ton of cash, but there's no one out there crazy enough to fund some small-time Yakuza Throwback. But if you guys and the name you've made for yourselves were involved, it'd be a different story.
So join me. I'll become the next leader and put you to good use."
"Get out."
The muscular woman unwraps the item she's been holding, a sturdy, metal pillar, and starts to advance on Overhaul.
"Sorry, mafia boy. But we didn't come together to serve anyone. I'm here because I wanna live free! We get to decide where we belong!!!"
An energy coalesces around her weapon, jumping from the metal to Overhaul who starts to get pulled in like he's been magnetized.
It all happens extremely quickly. One second the woman is bearing down on Overhaul, swinging her weapon high overhead—
—and in the next, there's an explosion of blood, viscera, and flesh, two human legs left standing on their own where an entire person had been seconds ago. They fall to the ground with a thud a few seconds later, a light spritz of red raining down like a sudden shower.
"Your side made the first move." Overhaul's rubs at his arms as he stands unhurt, a look of pure disgust on his face.
From Shigaraki's side there's a chorus of "Big Sis Mag?!" as the other remains of her hit the ground with plops and drips, all red and pink like the colors she was once fond of.]

Fucking hell...
[Why is he the one on computer duty!! (Because he has no means to fight or detain the fishbots.)
Well. After processing that horrorshow, and the fact it seems to be from before their arrival here? He thinks? Even though it's the latest addition?
...
Anyways! Subject logs time! He doesn't have time to be traumatized!]

If there's nothing else on the computer, he'll poke around the desk to see if there's anything that stands out, or if there's any other places in the room where he can snoop.]
