SO YOU WANT TO STEAL SOME CHILDREN (Endgame Catchall)
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 finds a key. ]

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? ]

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

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? ]

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?

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

Usagi, you know the signal, right?

[She'll carefully make her way into the room. She knows they can't see her, but she'll still smile, and tap out the rhythm - a little slower at first, then right on cue.]

It's mom's signal! Mom found her own ghosts to rescue us?!
[ Her excitement is infectious. Shaky smiles spread across the boys' faces. ]
...Of course she did.
[ The black-haired boy discretely looks away to wipe his eyes, as the girl turns back to them. ]
Ray, Norman, come on! Let's—
Let's prepare, dummy. [ Covering up his small sniff with a huff. ] We can't just run out there, Emma.
[ The girl, Emma, grins a little sheepishly, and the kids sweep back into the room that has been their living space for the last seven weeks, talking amongst themselves quietly but vigorously, figuring out what they should take for an impromptu escape.
...An escape that you will have to help them with, though that will be the focus of tomorrow's activity.
For now, while they're gathering and prepping, you can take a peak at their accommodations. Good job, ghosts. ]

While Dorothy is looking at the books, is there anything of note around where the kids have been sleeping?]

Also snacks! Chips and candy - a lot of them from the cafeteria, but also some clearly purchased in town. Who knows, the "mid" chips from the first day could be in the room with you right now. ]

How comfortable or bleak are we talking here? Have they been miserable, or simply kept locked away from Isabella?]

First, what about those library books? What kind of titles are we seeing?]
