Final Investigation
Unless you're outside the change in the environment is subtle, a spike of electricity in the air that lasts only for a moment. And if you're outside, well, it's hard to miss the blossoms of the sakura tree as they fall in a flurry. It's rather beautiful, if not somewhat disturbing; sometime in the past few hours, they've changed color from a cheerful pink to a blood red.
Regardless of whether you see that as an omen or not, you'll hear what comes next through your pendants:
Third floor, there is little time left.
The Teishu's words are clipped and urgent, so you probably shouldn't tarry.
What awaits you when you climb the stairs are three new corridors and one ornate, black, wooden door directly opposite the solar. There's a keyhole here so you don't need to worry about trying to force it down (and you still have that key don't you?) but it would be wise to explore the rest of rooms first.
Best to be prepared and all.
Explore?

Yeaaaah. He's stuffed the rest of what he's found into his pockets.]
The room we found is... odd. Almost completely white, actually.

[Just. By the way. She's got her fuck the sage shirt on in bright and garish colors, but since it's a t-shirt it'll also make it really easy to see the months-old scar on her right forearm that most definitely hit an artery when it was made, that's for sure.
These things happen.]
I found some papers, a logo, a wrapper, and a sash.
no subject
I found a sticker and this hourglass. [He holds up each. Tube.] Also, I went poking through his closet, and... they had a lot of martial arts clothes in there? Crazy shoulderpads, too.

[Kizakura points towards the Sage's bedroom]
We got into Sage-san's room. There's a few things in there, I looked into his books. Only a few were useful enough, one mentioned more swords. I also got this one... [He shows it] ...about how a Sage is chosen, and there was also this photo album, which I think has photos of his family before he was chosen.
It was a productive trip.

I found three globes with very old depictions of Earth on them, as well as this note--something about the spy from the previous "ceremony," I think.
no subject
[Ah....]
They've passed away, according to the Sage. May I see the album?
[He holds up the terrarium.] If you found the Sage's room, the white room must have been the Teishu's. It's very sparse and sterile, but I found this terrarium with a small tree, some notes I can't make heads or tails of, and a ruby akin to the stones set in our pendants.

[Here, have the album]
A pendant...I think we all know that Teishu-san doesn't come from this world. Could that mean at some point he was just a warrior more? Not from the past group, of course, but there was one before the Emperor's group.
no subject
The Teishu claimed he was never a warrior, in Fuwa's notes. But it does look dull and worn.
[He'll open the album as he speaks, making a considering noise.] You know.... some people do write names on the back of photographs.
no subject
[She takes out a stack of letters and two books, almost all featuring mention of Tennou.]

Something must've happened between them.
