Would you still like to be called Phi, or is it an painful name for you?

Bones grabs Bastian by the wrist and leads him to the Terrace, Phi following after them. Together they take the elevator to the 99th floor of Larkspur Hotel, and they walk to the 999th Door.

Shimi arrives. She looks... different.
She holds in hand four cards. She shows the cards to Bastian, Bones and Phi, who stand before Room 999's door.
The cards are black playing cards, they all have jokers: one of Diamonds, one of Hearts, one of Clubs, one of Spades.
The Diamonds card has a red 'R' on the back. The other three each have a red '9' on the back.

Arcthurus wrote:Phi looks at the door. It seems locked, and openable through a keycard reader. She also sees a painting besides the door depicting well-dressed people, left to right, two women and two men playing cards. The women wear red, and the men wear black.

Those goddamn assholes, Pat and Scriv, they shot her while she was trying to protect me. I don't think I need to say what happened afterward.

All three of them are six feet under now.

...Nagi's gone? For fucking real?

scowls
Fuck. Okay. So what's next? It's just us three and that Moon chick. We have to get in this room? Do you have the keycard?
renetear wrote:Yea, she's gone...
I'm assuming these 4 cards are themselves the keycard but... I'm not actually sure how to work it.
Nellyfox wrote:Have you tried scanning the cards to see if it even reacts?
Arcthurus wrote:Shimi scans a sequence of cards, but it doesn't seem to work.
Bones pulls out a work tool and puts apart the cardreader. They fiddle with the wiring behind it and manage to trigger something as the door makes a sound.

You walk through the door. You are greeted by a fancy modern office in the shape of a semicircle. The flat end has a pair of bookshelves, classy art deco, and a wide holographic screen turned on and displaying several places throughout the city, some of which have bodies on camera of people you recognize. The curved end is a glass wall with access to a patio overlooking the whole cityscape. In the middle is a large and oval table with chairs for meetings. To one side is an office desk with a computer.
On top of the table lies a chest, completely made of gold. The sides of it depict some kind of scene, along with inscriptions in a language you cannot decipher. The chest lid is halfway open.

They see the body of Moon. She is dead at the Rec Lobby, her tight almost completely cut off, and a deep stab on the back. They also look an awful shade of green.
They see the bodies of Nagi, Pat, and Scrivano by the promenade.
Pat is fallen on the ground, blood pooling around their shot off head, a single bullet wound between the eyes.
Scrivano is fallen just further the promenade path, blood pooled around their head and neck -- the head with multiple bullet holes, the neck sliced off, and several wounds on his chest. Near his body is a spider-like robot named Pieck, but none of the four know it's name.
Nagi has her chest severely bruised, as if caught in a blast, and lays on a pool of blood. She has a strained but happy smile, her head resting on the section of the clearing where the grass turns to rock, right around the base of the Monolith at the end of the promenade.
