EPILOGUE: return 0;

You’re not sure just how long it was you were driven. Most of you fell asleep, finally allowing the tension to fade away and letting your fatigue catch up with you. Others still weren’t quite sure yet if you could trust the people driving you now…

But the fact remained that you were out of that place. Wherever you were heading now, it couldn’t possibly be worse, could it?

Whatever the case… fatigue eventually caught up with you.

…

…

When you came to, you were pulling to a stop in a wooded area, near a river. Your driver looked back at you, gesturing for you to get out.

“Go on, now. He’s waiting for you.”

You hesitantly get out, and walk the direction he’s gesturing. Sitting on a bench, you saw a man in a brown coat, facing the river.

You approach him slowly.

He turns around. An older man, with thinning brown hair and thick-rimmed glasses. A face you’ve seen before…

“I’m glad to finally meet you in person. My name is Suzume Satou.”

An Unexpected Savior | ENDGAME

You spy a numbered keypad on each door. And you can see through the doors and windows outside the room, to boot. As you scour the hall outside the room, desperate for any salvation, you spy something odd on a monitor…

Is that… Nami? It appears to be. But… how? They’re dead, right?

But… Nami opens their eyes.

They blink once. They pause.

They blink five times. They pause.

They blink three times. They pause.

They blink six times. They pause.

They blink twice. They pause.

The pattern repeats.

With the oxygen in the room rapidly vanishing, it takes a while for the meaning to sink in. When it does, you move over to the keypad and punch in the numbers.

1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2

The doors open, releasing you into the hall. The weight on your chest is released, and you’re able to breathe once again.

“Please, hurry. You need to get out of here. You don’t have much time.”

Nami points toward the entrance to the server room.

“Farewell, everyone…”

Their monitor flickers out, and Aletheia lets out a pained scream. You hear an explosion far in the distance.

What on earth was happening out there?

When you emerge into the parking area, you find a sight most unexpected…

Two massive jeeps - thick, massive tires, dark windows, parked before you, rumbling. Where- How-?!

The window rolls down on one of them, revealing a man in sunglasses and a black jacket.

“Our mutual friend sends his regards.” He says, waving you towards him. “Get in. It’s time to go.”

Time to go…

You stare in disbelief, but the ground rumbles around you, shaking your feet to life. You’re forced to split up between the jeeps, but one by one you pile in and speed off, out the tunnel - now largely cleared of debris.

The trip is a shaky one, as you find yourself speeding through piles of debris lingering on the road. It feels like this tunnel goes on forever, before…

You emerge into the light.

You’re free.

“There will be one last class trial. If you successfully identify Arthur Ascott’s murderer, then your test will be complete.”

“Only then will you be worthy of leading humanity into the future.”

The figure of Sayuri kept speaking in a monotone voice. Kept repeating the same words.

One last class trial.

“Oh, and before you ask…”

The words linger in the silence amongst you for a little.

“I will give you free reign over the entire building, including those floors I kept from you initially.”

The screen flashes more words to you. Stands before you…? You ask about the final trial, and the arrow on the screen flashes for a few seconds.

Wait, what?

Before you could even question those words, you heard a loud screech from outside the penthouse. That scream… Sayuri?

You barely even had time to react, before the view on the screen changed.

“I am Aletheia.”

S-Sayuri…?!

“This intrusive girl was no match for me. She is merely my voice now.”

It spoke with her voice…

“Your final trial, the final trial of this test… Is to find the murderer of Arthur Ascott.”

“To my emergence as a God.”

Body Discovery Announcement? | Chapter 5 END

“You heard me correctly, students. A body has been discovered.”

It’s Control. Arthur Ascott. But the body before you is… identical.

“After a period of investigation, we will hold our fi-”

A shrill noise meets your ears, interrupting him.

“Fi-Fi-Fi-Fi-Fi-FiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-”

The image of Control on the monitor freezes, before vanishing, leaving only a white screen.

Words flash across the screen.

A message… From who? Or what?

Your final trial…

Control’s Inner Sanctum | Chapter 5 | EVENT

After a lengthy war conference, Neo, Ulrich, and the rest who gathered in the penthouse finally decided to take action. They split up between each locked door, and enter the codes as dictated by Neo. Each door beeps its approval and unlocks.

Slowly, hesitantly, each side opens their door.

The room that meets their eyes is vast and round, perhaps meant as a balcony of sorts. The round wall is one vast window, overlooking what looks like an abandoned city far below. As the students enter the room, they find themselves shivering. It’s cold in here, incredibly cold…

The room is mostly bare, save for a single chair facing the outside world. And there’s someone sitting in it, unmoving.

As you draw closer, you see blood splattered on the floor around the chair. You draw closer, only to find…

Vent-Hopping | Chapter 5 | Event?

There was only so much you can do, when you’re just a simple robot trapped in a computer. Sayuri had made some basic surveillance. Check up on her friends, make sure everyone’s okay. She couldn’t check on everyone, but just flipping through the cameras reassured her that there were no bodies. But now what? Might as well go exploring in the places without any people. It was a nice distraction, anyway, until hopefully somebody else would come check up on her. But that moment wouldn’t be for a while, and Sayuri eventually was vent crawling.

That was… strange. Nobody could say Sayuri was an expert in ventilation, but whatever this thing was in the systems, it sure seemed dangerous. She couldn’t risk it, less somebody get sicker or actually injured! It wasn’t even that difficult to turn off, which just seemed like overconfidence on Control’s part. Then again, even Sayuri hadn’t realized she could use the vents until now. So…maybe she was booboo the fool here. Either way! She should let the others know, right away!

In another moment, she had flickered onto the lobby’s monitors, beaming with glee.

“Hello? Hello! May I have a moment of your time, my dear classmates? I wanted to let you all know that I found something suspicious running in the ventilation! But, not to worry! I turned it off quickly. It seemed very dangerous, so I did not want to risk anything. I hope I prove helpful in this way! Really, it was so upsetting not being able to help during at all during this stressful time. B-but, never mind that! I hope you all are feeling better soon!”

With that, she flickers off the monitor, looking to spread the news wherever she could reach.

One voice that was conspicuously absent at this revelation, though, was Control.

Another thing absent? The hissing, the soft hissing that had started late at night.

Has the danger passed?

It seems so…

Everything Is Worse Than Awful | Chapter 5 | MOTIVE

As people began to assemble, you started to notice… everyone was not looking well. A mess of groaning, sweating, rubbing temples…

No one was feeling well.

What was going on?

“Now, thank you for coming. Last night, I started distributing a chemical agent through the facility’s ventilation system. It seems to be acting quicker than I expected. Expected symptoms are… fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue, among others…”

“If those sound familiar, it’s because they are… They are, in fact, symptoms of rabies. Four of you have actually been infected with the rabies virus. The rest are now suffering with similar symptoms due to my chemical agent.”

“If you want to cure the symptoms from my chemical agent, it may be possible… If there are any chemistry experts among you, that is. Even still, if you can manage that, you’ll still know the ones that are infected for real.”

“Though I will be providing no vaccine until there is a murder. You’ll have to sacrifice someone if you want to treat the rest of your classmates, I’m afraid.”

“I doubt you’ll last the week if you don’t act soon. Show me your potential.”

MOD NOTE: Can you find a cure for Control’s chemical agent? A new puzzle has been unlocked… See me on Discord to start investigating!

Everything Is Awful, Everything Hurts | Chapter 5 | EVENT

Silence is relative in this place - lights flicker and buzz, electronics humm, buildings creak and moan. But in the silence of the night, if your ears were rapt, you’d have noticed a new sound creeping up on you.

A soft hissing, deathly soft.

It didn’t seem to be affecting anything, so you let yourself fall asleep.

When you wake up, though, your muscles ached. Serious soreness… It was difficult for you to move, let alone get up. You were sweating. Just drenched in sweat. What the hell?

Ugh.

God, this sucked.

Could you just lay there until the pain went away?

“Good morning.”

Guess not.

“How are you feeling? I’d imagine you must not be feeling too well right now…”

Wait, he knew something about this?

“Please assemble in the lobby, and I’ll explain best I can. And, well… it’s probably best you take the elevator.”

Reunion, And Revival? | Chapter 5 | START

It couldn’t be, could it? This had to be some kind of joke, right? But those of you who might have had some hope, or were just curious enough, quickly searched for your newly awakened pal. Sayuri may not have known where she was, but there were only so many computers in this place. It didn’t take long to find the one with the robot inside.

“Hello! It is good to finally see you again!”

…Guess it wasn’t just a bad joke.

Shocked faces, staring back at Sayuri, her face adorning the biggest monitor in the observation room. From the entrance, you could see a large memory stick plugged into a computer tower. There was also a brass key with a tag, on a keyring, just sitting on the desk. Someone was up to something in this room, it seemed.

It seemed she was waiting for some kind of response from the shocked class. Her expression changed to one of concern.

“Here…Although I do not actually know where here is , I’m afraid.”

Looks like there was some catching up to do.

Stuffed In The Fridge | Chapter 2 | BODY

“Go downstairs, now. Into the laundry room downstairs.” 

With that ominous farewell, you were left to head to the basement on your own. Your steps were hesitant, uncertain. Slowly, almost in a daze, you made your way there.

The room didn’t look too out of the ordinary. If nothing else, it looked used. Was someone really dead in here? A quick search revealed nothing out of the ordinary… No bodies hiding on the floor behind machines or anything. How odd. Was Control wrong?

Your eyes dart over the closed dryers, and washing machines.

No.

It can’t be.

You start opening machines, checking inside. After a while, you find…

Body Dilemma | Chapter 2 | Investigation

Once you had gathered in the lobby, stepping over Sayuri’s dead body with varying degrees of concern, grief, and revulsion, Control’s now-familiar face came on the televisions in the room.

“Good morning. You all seem to have such shocked looks on your faces. Understandably. Death is a shocking event indeed.”

“What the hell is this!?” A disgruntled Isabella growled.

At these protests, he raised an eyebrow.

“Another dead body? How… unexpected.”

“….What do you mean by another …?” Shiori forced out, trembling, ”Do you mean that this wasn’t what you woke us up for..? This is already bad enough!”

The crowd gathered frantically looked amongst themselves, trying to identify who was missing. Who was it? Who was it they were called here for?

“That answer you will see for yourself. Go downstairs, now. Into the laundry room downstairs.”

With that, the televisions went silent.

Powered Off | Chapter 2 | BODY

Despite the stressful motive, things actually seemed okay. Nobody had seemed all that worried about their secrets, and for a moment it seemed like life would continue on as usual. It would be another motive ignored. Perhaps everyone here really was the best of humanity after all! At any rate, none of you had been so evil enough to take a life. But things always change.

It’s way too early when you hear the announcement. Most of you were probably still asleep, with only the early birds to explore the facility. But no matter your state of consciousness, you are forced to hear the PA system crackle, as the old man who only seems to come in and be the bearer of bad news speaks to you.

“Your attention please. A body has been detected. Please make your way to the lobby as soon as possible, and I shall explain.“

Of course, those of you who had already headed down the stairs to the lobby could probably guess what the announcement would be. You had already seen what he wanted to make sure everyone else did. Those of you still enjoying your last peaceful moments groggily made your way to the stairs, where you were presented with…

Munchies & Midnight || Tohru || Chapter 2 OPEN

[shslgothicmetalsinger-blog]

13101211-t-ishizuki:

It’s not for your sake, it’s because, everybody would be upset if I let you keep walking around on your own, right? … I won’t be here every night, but, if you really do want to wander and there’s no one else up, I wouldn’t hate spending time with you more than I’d hate Aiko-chan or Tsukasa-san crying, you know.

Is this tsundere?! No, it’s only tsun.

… Though, I wonder, are you so calm about this because you have a backup somewhere? Or, when you’re out, you could just cleanly erase all the memories of this place? That’s lucky…

Seems she’s again perhaps overestimating the capabilities of robots. Maybe, instead of being grounded in fear, her robophobia comes from a place of envy?

You fool, Sayuri sees deredere from every action. She giggles, despite the other girl clearly not joking.

“Well, they would not blame you specifically. If anything they would just be upset with me. I do not want to burden you, especially. My dear roommate does not sleep that much, even if I wish they did, so I am sure Nami-san will just...escort me.”

She rocks from her heels to her toes, allowing Tohru to keep snacking before they go, if she wants.

“Well, my parents taught me that panicking is the worst thing one can do in a crisis. There is no spare body out there, though. My father is still trying to get the funds for it. Right now there is just a few spare parts. As for my memory...well, I could erase it all, and I understand why someone would want to do that. But I do not want to eliminate any evidence of what we went through. Maybe the authorities can prevent this from happening? Or use it as evidence.”

Seems Tohru wasn’t that far off when it came to her abilities, though.

13101211-t-ishizuki:

Geez… How can you say you’re alive when you don’t do everything you can to stay alive? If they’re doing it for your sake, then, going out like this as a secret, that’s way, way more of a burden, you know? I really can’t tolerate people like you…

Wait, did she just call her a people? Holy shit! Way to go!

Came here ‘cause of a bad dream, but ended up running into somebody anyway, geez… Don’t tell anybody you saw me, okay? It’s–a–se–cret–. Now I gotta walk you back to your room, too… Geeeez…

Tohru fits an entire cookie in her mouth. She’s just really having at it, huh. Shame Sayuri will never know how comforting it feels to eat alone in the dark while everyone else is asleep.

“Well...yes, you are correct. But I-I thought that their sleep would be infinitely more valuable. I am here, so they were clearly not needed! In which case I would have felt so guilty for dragging them out.”

Dang, Tohru...your logic is really shaking her.

“But, your secret is safe with me! I can just forget I even saw you, if it is any comfort...but..no, never mind. Thank you for accompanying me, it is appreciated. I hope you sleep better.”

She was going to say something really cheesy and weird...but she doesn’t want to ruin things with Tohru!!

Say My Name | Sayuri | Closed for Ryuu

[shslgothicmetalsinger-blog]

shslacrobat:

She is so genuine that he can’t help but laugh. Sayuri is so nice, and that’s pretty obvious if you talk to her for about 10 seconds, so…? He didn’t even realize this was going to be an issue. Aren’t robots super cool and stuff? Isn’t this a marvel in every way possible?

“No, I didn’t mean like, special rights, just like, normal rights, y’know… Though I dunno what it’s like on the outside with most people. Is this a problem you have to deal with a lot? I just can’t get it…”

On the other hand, Ryuu didn’t even know robots were a thing until he met Sayuri, and even then, someone else had to tell him that she was one before he realized… but they must fight to all robot rights! Even if he didn’t know much about the other ones.

Or. Anything about them, actually.

“Oh, yeah, of course, it doesn’t have to be me! Isa-chan was worried too, and Neo, and most of the others! It’s nice wander and there’s lots of stuff to find, so I get that, I just – I-I mean, you don’t have to keep anyone safe, Sayu-chan, we’re more worried about you than ourselves…”

Bless her heart.

Sayuri shakes her head at his question. She had been prepared for people to say things like this, but she hadn’t...expected it to be from people who actually knew her. 

“Most of the time when people said things like this it was people who only knew of me, and I of them. I very rarely met my critics face to face. It was part of the reason why my actual identity was not leaked to the public for so long...my father saw what people were saying and did not want to expose his child to comments such as those.”

Like any parent would, but most parents probably didn’t have to deal with their kids being called “abominations” with very little reasoning. Sayuri would probably not be so bright if he hadn’t shielded her from that...she misses him, but now is not the time to be homesick!

“Well, it just does not seem fair to let you all handle the workload! I should at least be a little worried about the rest of you! It is...a little dark to say, perhaps, but there is no reason why my number being called means that I am the only victim, or even a victim at all. They could just pick a different person to hurt now that I am being watched. I just do not want to let anyone be neglected!”

Say My Name | Sayuri | Closed for Ryuu

[shslgothicmetalsinger-blog]

shslacrobat:

He nods in faux seriousness, looking at Sayuri in absolute determination.

“We are! We’re gonna fight for your rights in here, and then when we leave, we’re gonna go on tour and give the same speeches all over the world! … Maybe not the tour, but if you ever wanna talk t’the others ‘bout it, I’m totally for that! It might help in the long run, y’know?”

He’s not super sure it would, but he wants to exhaust all options before he decides to dislike others for their blatant robophobia. Sayuri may not mind, but he does! Ryuu and Sayuri would make the most interesting and unique lecture… they would have to listen to what she had to say and also Ryuu’s very resolute emotions.

“Yeah… I don’t wanna think it’s right, but last time I trusted it and nothin’ bad happened, so I’d rather do that again instead of risk findin’ out if it is or not.”

It is no small relief, and quite evidently so, when she finally agrees. He perks up, quick to assure.

“It’s fine! Your mom is right, i think~! I wish we didn’t have to be paranoid, but I’d rather be that and wander ‘round with you two instead of riskin’ it. I don’t really have anything else I do other than train for my acrobat stuff, since I wanna keep up to date on that… and I talk to Nami lots anyway, so hanging out with you too wouldn’t be that far off from what I always do! So I’m just a message away all the time!”

It could be 3 AM and he would be happy to run by.

She blinks, before shaking her head fervently.

“I do not need any special rights or anything! I am not human but it is enough to just be treated with basic respect...a tour might be fun though! It would eliminate any prejudice against me or robots against me. I would not drag you out for that, of course,but I am already on tour constantly so it is something to think about when i get out! Anyway, thank you! I will keep that in mind.”

There were definitely others like her, as she had been informed from investigating. If not for her, then it was for them that she had to do what she could to end robophobia! But in here, it was a new mini-mission for these heroes.

She is right about most things, Sayuri thinks, before smiling. If he’s really okay with this...Sayuri really doesn’t like asking for help, but he seems so insistent that maybe...maybe it would be rude to shut him down. And she could never be rude!! 

“Well, it would be a lie to say I do not wander around a bit. I like to explore and...well, sometimes the quiet of being alone is nice. But I promise that if even if I am not you, I will never be alone anymore! I’ll make sure we are safe at all times! And you are welcome in our room whenever you like!”

Of course, being one on one with any of them could be a potential threat, but Sayuri had kinda made a leap in logic.
