[The holding cell is, in fact, locked! No amount of rattling will change that. Similarly, Tamamo will find that SENSITIVE is not the password.
As Kanesan flips through the notebook, he will realize that it is someone's journal. Some of the pages have been ripped out, and others have stuck together due to water damage. However... those that are visible seem to include a date, a list of names, and tasks fulfilled throughout the date. Comparing the first entry to the last, the journal spans approximately seven weeks. Will Kanesan look at any specific entry?]
[The sad part is it's Grune so Tamamo can't even be mad. She just sighs]
-- You two certainly have me working overtime.
[Gosh. Well, she didn't want to sit on this nice cushy seat anyway. She'll hit up the drawer by Kanesan first, attempting to unlock it with her pin, and then regardless of a success or failure, she will also waltz over to where Grune is and unlock the holding cell (or just try to, at any rate)
... Her tails start wagging when she gets closer to Grune, too. It's unfortunate.]
You're the only one who can do it. We're relying on you, Tamamo.
[ after nodding in thanks, he goes back to the notebook. first, he's going to scroll to today's date! and if that doesn't have anything, he'll go to the last day available. ]
The second drawer opens up easily enough. Inside, they will find assorted knick-knacks. A stress ball, a water bottle, a stack of sticky notes, a tube of correction fluid, and a pack of batteries. In addition to this, they will find a keychain with two keys attached, and a sticky note taped to the inside of the drawer. Something is written on it.
The holding cell will not open with Tamamo's pin. In fact, she will hear something snap the moment she puts it in. When she pulls it out, she will see that her pin has been snapped in two — the other half will be promptly spat out onto her face by the keyhole.
Rude.
Today's date is... mostly legible. Some of the ink seems to have smudged, but it reads:]
DAY 20 SPOKE TO: █████, █████████, NE██A, M█████
- Did not find th████████ shoes - Task still pending for A. Where the fuck am I going t███████████████████████ - ██████████████████████ █V██████████████████████ - M███████████████ moron who cannot stop breaking into places. This is the last time I pop his arm back in its socket!!!!
but also, to save time, grune is going to wander back to the desk to look at what was in it while they deal with the jail cell. she'll squint at the sticky note. what's the password anyway. how stupid is it.
either way, she'll type it in. she probably types super slowly when she's doing it for real, like the 50 year old dad who punches each key individually using only pointer fingers ]
[ when the jolt comes, he jerks back to stare at the lock in mild offense. how dare. but fine, he'll remove the key and head back to the desk where grune is. ]
I think we should figure this out first. Did the password work?
[ and once he's over there, he's going to lurk over her shoulder to see what appears on the screen. ]
[The key cannot be removed from the cell. Kanesan will have to leave it there.
Opening Untitled.txt reveals a relatively short message. Almost like someone wrote down their thoughts before transferring them elsewhere, or perhaps as a stray note that got lost in the chaos of their desktop. It reads:]
N. SAID A. IS WORKING ON GETTING THE OTHER SIDE TO THOSE RUINS. THE SHITTIER H. ISN'T SORRY ABOUT WHAT SHE DID BUT SHE'S APPARENTLY WILLING TO COOPERATE. I, PERSONALLY, WOULDN'T MIND IF SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO GET STUCK HERE WITH THEM.
[The computer will freeze the moment they're done reading the text, before subsequently crashing. As soon as this happens — the lights off the security office will flicker and die, plunging them into total darkness... Or, rather, it would be total darkness if not for the dim light hailing from the monitor propped up on the wall.
Though the majority of the screen is black, there is something at the very center of it.
[... She has already touched Grune so fuck it, she's gonna do it again, this time gently pulling the woman away from the computer so she's not like, directly in the line of fire. Hopefully]
Grune-san, that might not be someone you want to greet so cheerily.
[ jesus christ. it's a good thing he got at least a glance at that note... but once the lights are out and there's only the eye on the screen, kanesan's hand goes straight to the hilt of his sword, and he slowly walks around the desk so he's in front of the girls. whatever that is, a demon or a ghost, he'll be ready to unsheathe the blade and protect them in case it attacks. ]
[Well... Unfortunately for them, there will be no time to search for the flashlight. The eye stills, ceasing its frantic blinking, before it slides over the three of them. They will feel something cold and moist wrap itself around their skin, completely and utterly immobilizing them.
Simultaneously, they will receives three separate visions. All three of them have the aspect of a security camera recording. Grayscale, low quality, and lacking in audio. The dates displayed on the corner of each vision is obscured.
Kanesan will see footage featuring three distinct individuals in the hotel's Lobby. One is a woman with long, dark hair that reaches past her waist. She is kneeling down next to what appears the be the corpse of a man close in age to her, with short dark hair and a hooded jacket. She's desperately shaking him, pressing his chest with her hands and then bending down to press her lips against his own. CPR, if Kanesan is familiar with it. There is a puddle of water around them, and the woman remains oblivious of a third, shadowy figure approaching her.
They have a knife in their hands.
Kanesan's vision will cut short before the figure can reach the woman, but it might be a foregone conclusion. He will feel something pierce through his back, puncturing his lung — but when he checks? There will be nothing but a shallow wound there, bleeding like a bitch. The pain will remain with him for the rest of the week.
Grune will witness another vision. This one of the same dark haired man, struggling against the same shadowy figure... Now revealed to be a woman with short light colored hair. He struggles to pin her down, to get the knife out of her hands — but he fails. The woman knees him between the legs, knocking him over before smashing his head against the fountain in the Lobby. A moment later, she yanks him towards the water.
Grune's vision will end before the man's head is submerged in the water, but it is a foregone conclusion. She will feel like she, herself, is drowning for several, long moments. When the effect fades, the side of her head will hurt and her throat will feel raw. A sensation like pins and needles with spread through her body. These sensations will stay with her for the rest of the week.
Finally... Tamamo's vision will feature two individuals. The corpse of a woman with shoulder length dark hair bleeding at the center of what appears to be a ritual circle. Another woman, with light colored hair reading from a book. The "footage" will distort as the lines and curves of the circle go incredibly bright. Tamamo will only barely be able to make out as something reaches for the light haired woman — and rips her right arm clean off her body.
The vision will fade, but Tamamo's right arm will pop right out of its socket. A dislocated shoulder can be fixed at any time... But the soreness that will spread through Tamamo's whole body will stay with her for the rest of the week.
All of this happens in the span of a handful of seconds. The cold, wet feeling will leave them, and the group will be free to move once again. The monitor will shut down and the lights will remain off, but something will click from behind them a moment later.]
it's funny, considering not much has really phased grune since coming here. sex demons? okay! people being murdered? very sad and terrible, but she can handle it.
but it's a little difficult to move like everything is fine when it feels like you're drowning. her hands reach for her throat, and once the sensation is gone, she lets out a shaky gasp as she breathes in. ]
Immobilized, she has a few precious moments to realize in how many ways they probably fucked this up before the vision hits her, and soon after that -- the pain. She's no stranger to injuries but it's a different type of hurt when you're practically human. Bad. Even while making no sound, the first thing she does is smack into the floor once her body is released.
She hears that click though.
Did I mention she big mad? Well now she's incensed and an animal's hiss is gonna flood the room. And she is going to lurk straight at the noise with the intention of killing a thing if a thing needs killing.
Someone please stop her, she's only got one functioning arm]
[ the second the vision ends, kanesan stumbles forward, the sword already halfway from his sheath...
but then he hears tamamo, and despite the pain in his back - there's blood, but he's had worse in battle, so he'll worry about that later - he turns to step in front of her so she can't go any further, already kneeling to tend to her shoulder. visions or not, he knows that particular sound.
to grune, he repeats: ]
Can you get the light?
[ while she handles that (or doesn't, whatever), he focuses on tamamo, speaking quietly but firmly. ]

seems to think better of it. probably because of the horny energy already happening right now. ]

And then it gets stuck.
For some reason, Kanesan will get a slight jolt in his hand — and the feeling that he's not supposed to unlock this just yet. Huh.
The password is: HODONTDOIT*4089
Yeah.
There are several text files on the computer desktop once it boots up. They're titled, in order:]
flkjsadlkfjdslkf.txt
lkdjsf.txt
Untitled.txt
we8oyrhisdkl.txt
zadashsfflsk.txt

[ wow! decisions!
she clicks the one that just says untitled, mostly because it stands out in the middle of all the random letters ]

[Tamamo is looking at Kanesan, but seeing as that lock ate her pin, she's not blaming him for the sudden stalling.
Wow she really hopes they're not about to unleash a true terror upon the ship.
But yeah she's just gonna sit back and watch potentially terrible things happen and allowing Grune to remain unsupervised.]
