FINAL TRIAL
[Soon after the final clue it found, the large set of double doors at the end of the hall finally open.
And beyond is what Nyaf-ya calls the Room of Reckoning. And this room is...]
[...rather impressive. Large, for certain. Maybe a bit too large for the space it would have to occupy beneath the mall, or to have light streaming from the windows, all things considered. But given everything else that the surviving strangers have encountered, this might not be the strangest thing with this situation overall.
There is a wooden throne at the top of the staircase, and at the bottom of the staircase are four large, comfortable-looking sitting pillows - one green, one orchid, one gold, and one pink. The red pillars surrounding the staircase are also decorated with markings that definitely don't look like they fit the aesthetic of the room.
There are also two low hot pot induction cooker tables in the great hall area before the staircase. One table has six spots, all with sitting pillows, each with a name written onto a paper placed carefully on a plate. When everyone sits at their place, they will find that the stove in the center is already heated and ready to go, and every imaginable ingredient for a proper barbecue and hot pot meal is available to them for cooking. A pitcher of their favorite drink is also next to each respective cup.
And, once everyone finds their place, their phone pings with a message.]
Once you've figured everything out, the Boss....wants to talk to you. She doesn't want to fight. Not this time. Please, take your time, but please be careful, ok? The rules of the Game are still in effect.
We're rooting for you. I know you'll find a way!
It's time to finally answer the questions the Titled have about why they are here - and face the Masterminds behind the Game.
Good luck, Titled.]

[ I MEAN........???? ]
It was like someone putting an old-fashioned television on a bad channel, but the feelings that came with it were... relaxing. It felt like it was the end of everything, and yet I wasn't scared or worried at all about it. I... kind of wanted to...
[ Hahahahaha... no. ]
I found two identity cards-- [ passing them around ] --and a ton of white cat fur.
[ He can appreciate the cat love, but this feels like a new meaning to the words "crazy cat person." ]
And the computer in that room had an e-mail about potential motives forwarded to it.
[ He pulls the picture up on his phone. If anyone wants to see, he'll let them, but... ]
...
[ He's still mulling over all of the other information, so he'll go quiet for now. ]
no subject
[ So. ]
no subject
Like Britt said, they were probably Players like us...
[ There's a bit of a face as he studies the e-mail for a moment. ]
They don't want to hold a figurative gun to our heads, but they're willing to lie to help make a murder happen...
[ He holds a blink, taking a deep breath. ]
I can't decide which is worse...
no subject
[ She sighs. ]
no subject
The titles and power make pretty clear they were given powers like we all did, I think, but...uh, it says they were executed.
Does that mean they were in a game like ours here in this same mall? We didn't have IDs.
[Maybe these were from a time before the cellphones were used for that]
no subject
[ She'll fish out her phone and show off a picture now. ]
Two of these people I recognize as previous participants. Mrs. Peacock and Mr. Barnes there. The third is unfamiliar, but...
no subject
[But it's unlikely the cards themselves or the people in it are related to anything, so there's not much sense on thinking why the cards were there]
no subject
[ Well, now they have an idea of where the fur comes from...? ]
no subject
[ He frowns down at the table a moment. ]
Or... maybe they got the IDs after dying?
no subject
[ The wheels are turning in his head and his expression is thoughtful, a finger tapping at his chin absently. ]
I get the feeling one of the people who are keeping us here must really have a thing for cats if they're willing to put them practically everywhere. It just... seems really important to me so I thought I'd mention it.
no subject
[He's kind of joking, but he also wouldn't be surprised if it turns out a cat is the boss]
no subject
[ Hold on. If there's so much cat related things and cats involved then maybe there's a reason... ]
I think the person in question might be a Composer. They probably had a hand in setting up this game we're in.
no subject
[ He sounds almost... proud... to point this out. ]
no subject
[ Yeah this just kind of backs him up with that the one who set up this game has to be the one with the love of cats here. ]
