FINAL INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

No one is dead today. Why would they when the end is so close? You can practically taste it (or is that your stomach?) as the final Friday dawns. It's time to get some answers.

The Storyteller isn't talking to anyone but it's a good guess to see where she went. There's one final door that hasn't been checked, after all.

[You know what? He's just gonna copy some of that down on a piece of paper. Maybe someone else can read this bullshit.

While Amdi's looking for alternative ways in, did whoever was excavating this make, like. A regular doorway?]

[whimsicalism]

[There is a whole room that they excavated filled with those stupid wingdings.

Someone actually set up a small work area to record some of this bullshit judging by the folding table covered in things.]

[nothingposh]

[Oh, sweet. What's on this table? Is it writing? Is there a handy decoder ring here?]

[whimsicalism]

[No decoder ring but it looks like some research papers from a Professor Spencer Hale talking about the writing. There's some info in there but there's also, weirdly, a crayon drawing stuck in this paperwork.]

[nothingposh]

[Yeah ngl? Research papers is beyond him so he hones in on the crayon drawing instead. What's it of?]

[whimsicalism]

[Yeah, it's a little tough... but the crayon drawing? Huh.

It's of a blonde girl in a blue dress and of the Storyteller holding hands.]

[octopups]

[About this time, one of the cloaked Amdi comes in.]

Hey Gavroche, I found a room where I think Nursery Rhyme — oh! Wha'dya find?

[He was kinda barely paying attention to what this particular member was seeing before now, but now he really focuses on looking around in this room. Those markings look kinda familiar, but the incongruous table catches his eye first.]

[whimsicalism]

[You can't tell for sure because the details were always blurry but that girl sort of looks like Molly?]

[octopups]

[An expression of shock ripples across all of his scattered members.]

That...!! I think that's Molly! The mirror girl!

[He obviously can't be sure, but he's seen some of her drawings and he knows that dress, and most of all he's been desperately worried about her ever since her mirror broke.]

[whimsicalism]

[On the back is Molly's familiar scrawl: ALICE AND ME]
