FINAL INVESTIGATION

Good morning and happy Friday. Despite the sense of the coming end, today starts off just like any other Friday in Aira Niluc, with a song finding its way to your ears. Normally this would be followed by an announcement, but there is only silence in it's wake.

The curious might be piqued to gather where what's becoming familiar by now, and they'll find that the fountain is completely drained, leading downward into a completely dark abyss. An emerald slide glitters, clearly an invitation of some sort, but it's probably not best to go down there until you're all prepared. Take stock of what you need, explore to find any other changes in the world, and then gather together.

The end has begun.

[ Her eyes aren't wet, but she does look unbearably sad. She has to read the note twice, before giving it to Makoto - though in the last second, she grips the note firmly, preventing him from taking it just yet. She tilts her head at the ants and then nods at the note, before letting go. This is something they'll have to talk about later with everyone else, when they can put their words on paper, away from the ears of B. ]

... Yes. Yes, let's.

[ She'll approach another bird to try and distract it. And will repeat the process as many times as needed for however many notes there are left. ]

[faentasy]

[ There are a total of four birds who will need to be corralled over, so two more after this one. ]

Scarlet,

I'm not really sure what the point is in writing these, because it's not like I've ever been a letter kind of guy and it's not like you'll ever get to read them. But maybe it makes me feel like I'm back home talking with you. It's better that I'm not, and you're safer without me there. I could really use your advice though, and Hansel's Bauernbrot. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, I guess.

[sempiternel]

[ And he said he was lazy of all things, but look how hard he's worked... ]

[edamamepon]

[ They can... write about that later, and she'll get a worried look in her direction. But he knows better than to ask now. He won't fight her for the letter either if she'd rather be the one to hold onto it. Makoto just nods, with a muttered. ]

Yeah... Okay.

[ Makoto will also repeat this process as many times as possible. He is a quick learner at least. ]

[faentasy]

[ One letter left after this one. ]

Scarlet,

I wonder if I picked badly. Or if I just picked someone who reminded me of myself.

You can try to make things fair, but the story goes onward. That's just how fate is.

[sempiternel]

[ ... And the last one? ]

[faentasy]

Scarlet,

I took matters into my own hands. It wasn't the right thing to do and it wasn't the fair thing to do. Maybe that was too much pressure for him.

I was the one who made the Knight, so I should close the book on the role. The head of all famiglie is the don and all the decisions and consequences stop there.

[ With that (and some severely flustered magpies), you've found everything in the courtyard. ]

[sempiternel]

[ She gives Makoto the last two notes, too. ]

I think they're safer with you. But... at the end of all this, provided we're still... [ ... ] Will you give them to me then?

[edamamepon]

No problem.

[ Makoto nods at her request, carefully pocketing them. Cane in his other hand, he'll try to give her a reassuring look. ]

Hey, thank you for helping with that.

[ He pauses though, trying to ask her if she's okay without actually saying it. ]

[sempiternel]

[ A nod, something wistful in her smile. ]

Of course - though you did the brunt of the work, so I should be the one thanking you, again. And you're without any injuries, yes? So we have fulfilled our duty to Tenn and the rest of the group!

[ Yay! ]
