WEEK 1 - Investigation

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

friday (?) survivors Friday careens around the corner soon enough, much like every day preceding it does. This morning, however, is greeted with a surprise — your datapad is making a strange noise. Perhaps it's buried under the duvet you're sleeping under, or at the far corner of the room, maybe you're the forgetful type and left it in the bathroom, or maybe, just maybe, you have it right next to your ear when a song blasts at full volume. Upon inspection, you'll find the accompanying video is playing as well. The song seems to loop, this time being overlain with a voice recanting the history of the band in a steady, robotic tone. Was it the AI? You probably didn't care, and, instead, decided to leave your room. Once you do, the song finally ends. You are free. You may feel rather manipulated right now, or you are just satiated to be away from the music. Either way, it's clear your day has only just begun. ENTER COMMAND_

I was wondering why anyone would hide something like this... With further inspection of this odd-shaped key, there's something interesting in the handle.

[ can he open this catch...? ]

[al2955]

[He can! The handle will unfold, changing the key into a knife.]

[puzzlesss]

[ well then.

.... that sure is a thing. ]

And there we are. [ ... ] Clover, would you mind giving this a look? Its switched shape to something... quite sharp.

[ he'd rather not touch it all over to confirm its status, thanks. ]

[socloverit]

[YEAH NO PLEASE DON'T TOUCH THAT and she scurries right over from whichever table she's crawling around under right now]

Thaaat's a knife. Definitely a knife. No wonder it was shaped so weird!

[puzzlesss]

[ clover his hero

he nods. ]

One mystery solved. A key that becomes a knife... Something as unique as this may have been brought on as someone's possession.

[ ... ]

I assume it's clean?

[ given she didn't outright go "BLOODY KNIFE" ]

[socloverit]

Uh-huh. Maybe we should check the datapads and see whose it might be.

I don't see anything else weird around here. ...Maybe we should go find out who... [fuckin DIED]

[puzzlesss]

Two good ideas, Clover. I'm certain I remember a key being mentioned in the profiles explicitly...

[ .... ah— ]

Speaking of. I'm sure we can expect for this discovery of ours to be collected soon.

[ R U L E S. why can't they just keep things in junpei's impossible pockets like in canon. ]

[socloverit]

Whoever's collecting it can come find us, because I'm not gonna wait around for them to show up. [gotta make sure no one she actually likes is dead so she can make her coffee and wake up enough to put on not-pajamas in peace!!!] C'mon.

[AND WE'RE OFF]
