sixth trial

[You get a little time after your investigation is over, but not too long. PAL gets bored easily and doesn't like to be kept waiting, after all.

When everyone has gathered at the elevators with their evidence, the one going down turns on automatically. It...it looks like you're taking a leap of faith into an elevator shaft, not gonna lie. But the first person to step in finds that it's a carefully-balanced anti-gravity field made to just shoot you down and deposit you gently at the end of a long hallway. Like a walk-through aquarium, the walls and ceiling are all made of thick glass, giving you an even better view of the stars outside.

You're led to a wide-open area, empty except for a circle of podiums in its center. Choromatsu and Junpei have joined the ranks of their grey-faced photo friends. The walls here are equally transparent, and they seem to have lines of large hatches going along them, as if this is where one might park one's small short-journey craft when getting ready to go on vacation to a galaxy far far away. Shame you don't know anything about those.

You already know what you're here to do. You'd best be getting along with it.]

I didn't find much, but what I did was.... very distressing. Many of you likely walked past the church pew by the elevators. When investigating it I found a long bit of rope tied to it and leading towards the elevator. Inside I was only able to find some scratches in the paint and metal. They seemed to be in between the floors but closer to the second then the first. I tried to investigate them further, but with the machine being unreliable, I was loath to stretch out into it anymore than I already did.

[...Oh this is really not okay to find out.

Jane lets out a soft, pained sound and puts her head down on her podium.]

Wait. Wait, rope tied to a pew? What the fuck? How do you mean, like, was he testing the elevator and needed something to ground it?

[Pyrrha hates to be the person that has to talk about this, but she was the one to investigate Junpei himself.

...God, there's so few of them now.
]

I-I was the one to check Junpei. I... found bruises on the back of his head that went down his neck and to the shoulders. Me and Arianna also found that there was one long bruise around his torso.

[Ugh. Just...] There was also something resembling glue stuck to his metal arm, and there were no defensive wounds from what I could tell. I don't think he was attacked... or, I guess it means he didn't fight back.
tokencanadian: (Fear)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2018-03-24 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
....Oh god.

[No.

No, no no.

Pyrrha's already checking out at her podium.

Glue--the glue's from a hot glue gun from his room. He was working on something in there, and that shit's always messy...

If not for the injuries to his belly shown on the report I would think he hung himself with how it was all positioned. In the least I think the pew might have been used to prop open the door, or to dangle something down- or up- the shaft with the rope.

[Oh God wow okay no no please he was already a fucking mess Dad you gotta stop]

W...Where was he, when someone...n-not at the bottom of the elevator, right?

Working on something? What kind of something, do you know?

Then if he did die in the elevator, someone must have moved him. How was he placed?
cyan_maid: (NO NO NO)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2018-03-24 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...How did he get there? If he was hurt in the elevator - and h-he had to of, you don't just...i-it's the exact kind of stupid thing he would do...
tokencanadian: (Concerned)

[personal profile] tokencanadian 2018-03-24 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't just that he was in the holodeck, but the holodeck was on when we arrived.

[Church is still sporting a fairly big and ugly bruise on his cheek, though it's had a little time to heal. Still, it's not at all pretty. He's got some tools with him. And Ruri. Or what's left of Ruri.]

Jun...Junpei was working on a project in his room. Something mechanical, I guess? There were wires and batteries missing and--a fucking microwave in there, but I can't even begin to guess what the fuck he was doing...

Fuku? You got any ideas?

He was resting on his back. I almost believed he was only sleeping.

Then... someone must have placed him there. And was some degree of respectful to his body.

There was a transformer missing from the microwave. The other roomba was turned around and turned off... but in one piece. Maybe... he was using it as a reference? For whatever he was doing.

Either way... a transformer... he might have wanted to create a high-voltage electrical charge... but for what, I don't know.
