They don't just put a desk like this out for nothing, right?

[ he's in the waiting room, frowning at the desk before turning his eyes to the door nearby. so what's in here, then?

others have broken into these rooms. so what if he gives it a nice, strong kick a la the good old shinsengumi raids, right above the lock? maybe it'll open up and reveal its secrets. ]

[warmness]

[ well, grune's here, too. did they all just end up here at the same time by coincidence? let's not think about it it's fine.

but she opens her mouth to respond to his question, but then closes it when he? kicks the door suddenly?? ]

I think you're supposed to use your hand?

[ she's not a gumi ]

[foxweddings]

[lbr Tamamo probably followed Grune out of a vague sense of concern but now they're all here and the fox lady just arches a brow]

How impolite. Of course the door won't open if you do that.

[Tamammy just here for the shitposts]

[namelessfighter]

[ he is mildly offended ]

You don't know until you try. And it works, most of the time! Unless either of you has a better idea...

[warmness]

Oh, well, it is rude to just barge in. What if someone lives there?

[ so she's just going to step forward and

knock ]

Helloooo.

[foxweddings]

-- Grune-san, that's not how it works, either!!

[The worst part is that Tamamo actually pauses just in case someone knocks back.

No one does.

She's frankly disappointed]

Fine, if you two want in so badly, here.

[Sorry, she's going to muscle past them both, pulling something out of her ribbon -- it's a pin, one usually found in the salon.]

Watch, this is how you open a locked door you're not supposed to enter~

[I hate that she gets to be smug and fiddle with the lock, a travesty. But fiddle she does, until--!]

[fullthottle]

[—it unlocks!

And Tamamo's ego grows bigger by three sizes. Tragic.

The door swings open, allowing them to see that the interior of the room is pitch black. Even though the waiting room is well lit, none of the illumination seems to seep into the other room.

Will they proceed?]

[namelessfighter]

[ what a boring way to break in! but now that it's open, kanesan will pull out the clamshell for a little light and head inside. ]

There must be a light in here somewhere...

[ a switch by the door maybe! time to poke the wall and see. ]

[warmness]

[ she'll follow along, because maybe it really is a surprise party?? you never know.

grune, unlike kanesan, does not take out her clamshell to try seeing if it'll light anything up, and instead just walks straight into the room. what's sticking to the walls? don't know her ]

Maybe if we ask they'll turn on?

[foxweddings]

[WOW NOT EVEN AN APPLAUSE. Y'all mean to tamommy.

Also SORRY GRUNE but Tamamo is a partypopper and will try to grab onto the other woman's wrist before she gets too far, placing the pin back into her hair]

Oh, certainly, ask if you want. Though if someone obliges, I'll be leaving you two to greet them properly~

[Glancing Kanesan's way because he seems to have the right idea. Does the light turn on?]

[fullthottle]

[As Kanesan searches along the right wall for the lightswitch, he will find nothing of the sort! He will, however, bump into the other wall on that side. Be careful.

It's good that Tamamo grabbed Grune before she could keep walking, though. Grune's foot will hit something moments before she's yanked away, a hollow, metallic clang echoing through the room.

... Oh. And by the way? The door is slamming shut behind them as soon as they walk in. Might want to keep working on finding that lightswitch.]

[namelessfighter]

[ the noise does startle kanesan, so he's reaching for hisome sword, but... nothing attacks. so he follows the wall back to the door and along the left side instead, still searching for a switch or at least a sign of a lamp?? ]

Nothing on that side... It must be over here.

[warmness]

Did I hit something?

[ it's a good thing that tamamo is babysitting because grune's next action would have been to like

try to see what that was

but she'll be good and stay put for now until they can get a light. ]

[foxweddings]

[Tamamo, meanwhile, is glad the lights are out, because her expression turns into fury for a brief moment.

She mad.

She big mad]

Hmph. The nerve, attempting to trap me somewhere.

[And uh even though she stopped Grune from moving, she is going to walk forward and reach down to touch the thing that Grune accidentally kicked. Trying to be careful, but hey, is that thing small enough for her to pick up?

Listen she's had her one braincell for long enough. ]

[fullthottle]

[Haha.

Well.

That's the funny thing.

Tamamo tries to reach down, and immediately smacks her head against something solid. Once again, the same hollow, metallic clang echoes across the room. Oops!

Kanesan will have a bit more luck searching the left side of the room. His fingers will come across what appears to be a switch, just a step or two away from the door they just came through. Will he flip it?]

[namelessfighter]

[ because the three of them are apparently sharing uno braincell, he is definitely going to flip that switch! ]

[fullthottle]

[Bless them and their one braincell.

Kanesan flips the switch, and the fluorescent tubes attached to the ceiling come to life. Nice!

Now that they can see what's directly in front of them, Tamamo and Grune will see what they bumped into. It's a metal filing cabinet! A metal locker is pressed against it to the right, and there is a posted pinned to the wall to its left.

That said, if they take a look to their right, they will see several things. First of all, there is a nice mahogany desk halfway through the room. It comes equipped with a nice, ergonomic chair. Immediately, they will notice that there are three monitors on top of the desk, a keyboard, and a few other miscellaneous things. They will need to approach the desk to see what these things are.

On the wall left of the desk, they will see a ridiculously wide monitor propped up on the wall. It is currently off. To the right of the desk, right around a little corner, they will see what appear to be... jail cell bars? Huh. They're only barely visible from their current position by the entrance, however.

Welcome to the SECURITY OFFICE. What will they look at first.]

[warmness]

[ i just remembered grune and tamamo touched as i opened this notif and i closed my eyes

anyway, so while grune is apparently fighting this burning desire to pin tamamo against the cabinet i GUESS, she blinks in surprise as the light turns on??

she'll actually move towards the desk though. and then go to sit on it, as if she is seeing how much weight it can hold to make out on. i hate this. while she's here what are the other things on the desk. ]

[foxweddings]

M-Mikon!!!

[Yikes her head hurts. Also now she's horny so, A+ all around?? God, she is going to pinwheel back a few steps and then frown murder at the filing cabinet.

And approach it again once she's done swearing under her breath. Is there a way to open it? She's gonna just try and yank that sucker open, she still big mad]

[namelessfighter]

You alright, Tamamo?

[ and kanesan is, as usual, completely oblivious to the horny energy in the room. nice.

so he's going to go take a look at the poster! and maybe see if he can open that locker while he's at it. or is it. locked. as lockers are wont to be. ]

[fullthottle]

[Now that she's sitting at the desk, Grune will find that it's very sturdy! She will also find that she's parked her caboose right over a desk calendar and a wireless mouse. There's a nice mug filled with pens, markers and pencils on one corner of the desk. That's nice.

Unfortunately for Tamamo, it seems like she's losing her battle against the filing cabinet! There are two drawers, and both of them are locked. However, there are keyholes next to each drawer...

Kanesan will have a bit more luck with his endeavors. The poster reads:]

WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR DESK:
1. ALWAYS LOCK YOUR COMPUTER
2. LOCK LAPTOPS AND SENSITIVE PAPERS AWAY
3. FOLLOW A CLEAR DESK POLICY

[Meanwhile, the locker is unlocked! Inside he will find two sexy security guard uniforms, a flashlight, a self-defense baton, and a pair of handcuffs.]

[warmness]

[ cool! she has no idea what a wireless mouse is!

anyway, she'll look at the desk calendar to see what it says... are there any juicy dates ]

There's writing instruments here. How nice.

[foxweddings]

[... Giving the drawer a kick before calling back to Kanesan]

Oh, I'll live. Just... distracted now.

[She is so glad Grune is so Grune and thus it makes it easier not to throw her against the desk. As for the cabinet drawers, she's just gonna try and unlock them using her stolen pin against the keyholes. Maybe the same trick will work twice.]

[namelessfighter]

[ he's giving tamamo a quizzical look but you know what, he's not going to ask since she's already getting to work on the locks. instead he pulls out the outfits to check if they have like... pockets? or anything inside those hypothetical pockets? idk man he doesn't want to miss anything.

when he's done with those he'll put them back and take out the flashlight, baton, and handcuffs. he's got no idea what the flashlight is? but he'll figure that out later because he's taking them over to the desk to set down. ]

The poster says something about a computer, laptop, and some papers. We should try looking for those.

[ he's heard about computers but what's a laptop, ]

[fullthottle]

[No juicy dates, no! But as Grune takes a look at the calendar, she will notice that the majority of it has been completely blacked out with a marker. Only seven weeks remain visible, and from those weeks, several days have been crossed out with a red pen. Those days are equal to the amount of time they have been trapped on the ship.

Tamamo, luckily, will discover that lightning does strike twice. After some fiddling with the pin, the drawers will be unlocked.

There is nothing in the pockets when Kanesan searches, no matter how deep he shoves his hands into those booty shorts.]
