SO YOU WANT TO STEAL SOME CHILDREN (Endgame Catchall)

[facultwist]

Welcome to the container for your endgame! This will be the place where you can perform your polterheist (we really love that portmanteau), and where you'll be able to commentate on the final trial!

ICly, the whole heist will take place Monday, while the final trial watch will take place Thursday. For anything not related to endgame, please continue to use the main deadland post!

[ Chris motions to everyone to be quiet, then to Vanity for her to try and move reposition the Boo Buddy so they can get at that corner of the room still has strength she (she being Chris) needs to conserve.

In the meantime, Chris is going to search the room while Kana is on Torch duty for anything that can help them pick the lock on the door in the main hall. ]

[facultwist]

[ Largely what you're going to find is cleaning supplies and buckets. You'll be able to look around most of the room, but you can't get close to the desk the Boo Buddy is on. ]

[sweetsynergy]

[Yeah yeah, she gets it. She holds up a finger in a "wait a second" gesture as she looks for something to shove at the Demonic Furby with.]

[Throwing a chair was a two-ghost job, but would she be able to use one to move the Buddy, or does she need to backtrack for a rake?]

[facultwist]

[ We are a horror-inspired game here. Of course you need to go back for a rake. ]

[bellpepperexercise]

[Do Kana and her torch need to chaperone Vanity? If so, Kana is going to cock her head towards a mop. Like. Vanity please.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Okay yeah one of us may have missed the presence of mops. If this doesn't work she will as politely as possible gesture for Kana to follow as she gets a rake.]

[facultwist]

[ look i pointed out the presence of mops and still was like "go get the rake" we are both working at a deficit here

ABSOLUTELY USE THE MOP. Hit the boo buddy in its cute little bear nose. ]

[sweetsynergy]

[Get nudged on you electronic devil.]

[facultwist]

[ The Boo Buddy giggles as it topples to the floor. ]

That tickles!

[ ...You may have to nudge it one more time to adequately search the desk. ]

[sweetsynergy]

[She hates this but she'll do it. Begone.]

[facultwist]

[ Boo Buddy in the corner pocket...or something like that. It's now making friends with the cleaning supplies. The desk area is clear! ]

[trustheart]

[ Just to be safe, Chris takes a mop of her own and gives it one more nudge! ]

[facultwist]

Do you wanna be my friend?

[ It is now face down, ass up in the corner. ]

[trustheart]

[ Okay! Chris is now going to search the desk! ]

[facultwist]

[ The top of the desk is pretty clean! To search the drawers, you can either try phasing your hand through at random, or expend some ghost energy to open them. ]

[trustheart]

[ I guess it’s time to give up some of that ghost power, then. ]

[facultwist]

[ Most of the findings are unremarkable. But, in the bottom drawer...

Chris finds a key. ]

[trustheart]

[ Chris holds up the key! Does Zelda music play?!

Time to get this out to the main hall. Kana, help her get past the thermal cameras again so she can get to the locked door? ]

[bellpepperexercise]

[Yes! Just what they need!

Kana is going to nod eagerly and guide the party towards the locked door, focusing on keeping that torch lit and toasty.]

[trustheart]

[ Alright! Is there anything stopping them from unlocking that motherloving locked door in the hall? ]

[facultwist]

[ Normally, you'd have to be careful of the camera...but with your impromptu torch and Kana the chaperone, no.

Carrying the key will tire Chris out. This will be the last big act she can do without needing to immediately retreat to the pool.

Are you alright with that? ]

[trustheart]

[ If this is all she can do, then so be it! ]

[facultwist]

[ Atta girl.

The lock jiggles and clicks. Opening it, that'll require some more energy. But, from inside, you can hear murmuring of two distinct young boys. ]

—is she not...announcing herself?
...way too early for food...

[ And then, the loud call of one girl: ]

HELLOO? MISS KIDNAPPER, IS THAT YOU?

[ There's the sound of some scrambling, and amidst the boys' protests, the door opens to reveal a cheerful looking little girl. The boys stand behind her, looking like they hastily ran up, hands on her shoulders, expecting to pull her back, or something—


But from their perspectives, they're staring out into an empty hallway. ]

...Hello?

[bellpepperexercise]

[Oh, yeah. They just can't see anything.

Kana waves the torch a little as if saying hello. Crap, how do they communicate this?]

[facultwist]

[ To get back through the thermal camera blocking the top left door, Kana will unfortunately need to chaperone. You're getting your ghost steps in today, girl. ]
