[ so a bird, a butterfly and a double fox walk into a room...
or, well, attempted to. they sure are standing there and dick sure suffered stuffing his wings in his Nightwing outfit and then ruining that uniform to let them out because he's not going to do this shit in civvies! he can see it back later smh
He's got his hands on his hips and his stupid wings pulled tight against his back as he turns towards the other two ]
Did you have a plan to break-in? These doors take a different method nearly every time.
[It'll take a little effort, but scythe violence will work! Targeting the lock/handle area will damage it enough to disable it, and the door will fall inward with a loud thunk.
It's dark in here, but there's a faint, dim light ahead at the end of a hallway, and a faint blue light visible close to the doorway they just opened.
[ dick decides to not tell tamamo his method would've been lockpicking too, not brute strength. mainly because it's fine it doesn't matter kagachi got it?? though he'll step forward first because He Has Shared Custody Of A Flashlight that he will point at the ground for when they come in. ]
Believe me, no one could replicate Taako's method, either. Door's going to slam back as soon as we're all in-- make sure to stand clear of it.
[ yea im sure him trying to tell tamamo what to do will work out well anyway he steps in making sure no one can trip on anything This Time. third's time the charm ]
[Oh it's fine if Dick moves forward. She was planning on letting the gentlemen enter first so that she could take the back in case something attacked and then murder it over their corpses.
... Tamamo with nine tails is a bitch, I don't know what to tell y'all]
Yes, yes. We're all veterans here, not to worry, Dick-san. I just advise neither of you to accidentally step on my tails~
[ alright. well, since kagachi is going that way, dick is going to go towards the light (safe.) while still trying his best to illuminate the hallway while they walk because i have 0 trust in darkness. what's in the light!!! ]
[As they travel down the hallway, Dick's flashlight beam will catch two pieces of paper lying on the ground, folded and caught between the stone tiles.
They're close enough to be able to see the room they're entering, now; it's a huge one, with dim, flickering overhead lights and a dank atmosphere. The hallway they're in continues straight ahead, but also branches off to the left and right not far from where they're about to enter the room proper. This appears at first glance to be a dungeon, judging by an open cell door they can see further down the hall.
...and it sounds like they are not alone. Deep within the dungeon there's an echoing, shuffling sound that seems to be coming from somewhere down the hallway to their right. Maybe breaking down the door wasn't the best plan?
If they're going to look at the papers, they should maybe do it quickly.]
[ he'll have to keep an eye out for something that could unlock those. well, once the flashlight beam hits the paper, dick's immediately picking those up to read out loud, like a good sharing boy, so either of his companions can feel free to notice the hell they're in ]
And fox lady is probably going to pick up on that shuffling noise, already very paranoid. The moment it even looks like the Good Samaritan is going to say something, Tamamo will reach over and smack a hand over his mouth, then point in the general direction she heard the sound from.
Like she gets it, sharing is caring, but she doesn't feel like getting maimed again]
since kagachi is the one with a mid-range weapon here, he's immediately going to step forward so that he's between his companions and said hallway entrance.
still, though, since it sounds like it's not right by them—he makes a gesture to the other two to move forward, whether it be straight ahead or to the left. just not the right. he'll stay between them and... whatever's making that noise.]
[Whether Dick keeps trying to read or the others look at the papers as well is up to them, but! Dick will find the following on the two papers.
The first one is a map which I JUST realized I fucked up-- the left side has a hallway down the outside just like the right side. I accidentally cut it off. Imagine the hallway.
The second is a different type of paper, and in fact seems to be a page from some sort of journal:]
“We were warned about this. Something’s down here— we don’t know what, but we know we can’t face it. I’d like to try to study it, if I can, but… right. Exploring this place and getting what we need comes first. It’s too big to move quickly in as a group, so we’re splitting up… that way it can’t get us all at the same time, in a worst-case scenario.
They keep telling me not to document in a situation like this, but how else are we going to retain information?”
[There are a few notes scrawled hastily onto the bottom of this page:]
“-HEARS WELL -SEEMS BLIND -SCENTING UNKNOWN??”
[So, yes, good job shutting him up, Tamamo!
The noise from the hallway on their right (the map's left) seems to be coming closer.]
[ WELL ALRIGHT HE PICKS UP ON THE SOUND AFTER HE'S GOTTEN THE PAPERS so he's not even mad tamamo shut him up. he taps them both on the shoulder once once he's finished reading, gesturing first to the "hears well, seems blind" bit, then to the "split up" part. then he points to the map, himself, and then, taps lightly against the security office.
he knows kagachi has a pen but dick's got like, his hands full between the papers and the flashlight, still, so. he's trying to suggest they split up and he's volunteering for the security office. ]
[Everyone present owes her ice cream if they don't die horrible, so she would decree if she could actually speak. Instead her eyes narrow on Dick before nodding. She understands what he's saying, and agrees -- split up and explore the rooms as quickly as possible.
And so she will point to herself, then to cells... 2, 3, 4, and 5, then back to herself. Afterwards she points to Kagachi, then the Medical Cell + cell 6, and again back to Kagachi.
Essentially what she's trying to convey is that they should take hallways. She takes the middle, Dick can perhaps take the right to get to the security office, and Kagachi can take the left to get to the medical cell.
... Also regardless, she's still nervous about that monster and is gonna keep them moving down the central hallway as they "talk"]
he's a little unsure about dick heading towards the right and tamamo being the middle area, but honestly, who can say how the monster is going to move? any one of them could be fucked, depending.
and they don't have time to waste arguing, so he just nods—though he pulls out his knife and a scalpel and hands them over to her. please do not be completely unarmed.
anyhow, assuming they're all good, he's going to move out towards the medical cell because our time limit scares me.]
[Have fun storming the dungeon, everyone! Since Tamamo is taking that center hallway, just let me know which cell she'd like to enter first.
Dick can head for the security office, but what route is he taking?
Kagachi, on peeling off to head to the medical cell, seems to be safe taking the center hallway route. But once he gets there... the medical cell has a keycard lock, too. Its light glows orange.
The shuffling sound is growing a little quieter as the creature hasn't run across anything, but from their position they can still hear some movement rounding the top left corner of the map, entering the northern hallway.]
[ Dick nods before they leave, jaw set. he goes through the center hallway and turns in the middle, (using the hallway where there is no blood on the map) pocketing the flashlight now that there's (sort of) light around. He's keeping an ear out for any sudden noises and an eye out for anything suspicious, but otherwise, he's going straight for that security office!! man i hope there's a doorway from that side ]
[Kagachi is correct in assuming Tamamo ain't armed, so she'll take the scalpel and knife with a grin, and nod to him. She'll be careful.
-- Sudden thought though, but she really fuckin hopes they don't have to open these cell doors in order.
Anyway as promised, she will head over to cell 2 while traveling down the middle hallway first, just trying to see if the cell door will open (assuming there even is a cell door).
But if it looks like she's going to be locked out, she will immediately yeet herself over to cell 3 because it's across the hall. She's just looking for an easy-access room.]
[Dick will find the doorway to the security office is all the way in the leftmost hallway... but he can get there without incident. He just can't get in, because it requires a 6-digit keycode.
Tamamo can in fact open the door to cell 2! There is a chair off in one corner, and a messy, unmade cot. Large smears of old blood cover the floor.
In cell 6, Kagachi will find a similar layout, but there is no chair and no blood. The bed in here is neatly made.]
[ well. FUCK. time for dick to backtrack the way he came and head over to cell 1! he goes by as fast as he can be while still making no sound. which is unfortunately for me pretty fast because again. he's a ninja. he is using the leftmost hallway because i knew that hallway existed this entire time

Yeah, it's gonna be one of those days, boys. And after a few moments of fiddling--]
Apparently, it might take more brute strength.
[Glancing over her shoulder and somehow able to see them through her mass of tails]
One of you handle it, then.

[and really, kagachi has only one method for things and that's brute force. i don't know why anyone thinks he's a braincell.
so after a lookover at the door, he swings his scythe. surely this will be fine]
