[ good news: the heart they need might be here. bad news: so's that thing, and they're playing hide and seek with it. he hasn't heard any screams so he can assume tamamo and kagachi are alright, and so after another sweep of the cell to make sure nothing else stands out, he ducks out, going back through the middle hallway up to the center to get to cell 4, keeping watch in case the monster is hanging around.
also he takes the note yoink more paper to be found on his corpse ]
Who says only cats have nine lives? She grins like a feral mess when the creature disappears, and after waiting a couple of beats, she will then take her piece of paper and dart into cell 3, if it's open.]
[Dick does not run into the monster! Nice. He enters cell 4 to find the same layout: bed (messy), chair (in a corner), none blood.
Cell 3 had its door hanging open already, so Tamamo is able to make her way in! The bed is neatly made, and there is no chair or blood in here.
Kagachi will find nothing on or under the chair, and his chronic bed-messing turns up no results. In the dim lighting, it's hard to get a good look at the ceiling, but the floor and walls don't have anything that stands out at a glance.]
[ alright, time to start with the bed because it's pre-messy!!! he's taking off the covers, looking under the pillow, looking under the bed itself and even checking under the mattress. please have a convenient key card somewhere? ]
[hey bed, nice to see you, time to ruffle you up until you share all of your secrets.
Though given there is no chair here, Tamamo immediately starts looking at the walls, floors, and ceiling, too, hoping for a similar paper to her last one.]
[There's nothing under the covers or pillow on Dick's bed, nor under the mattress, but on checking the floor beneath the bed he's rewarded with another page!]
“I heard screaming from the other end of the dungeon— I don’t know what happened, but it… I hope it’s occupied for a minute or two, at least.
I guess he bought us time. I should move. We still don’t have the keys we need.”
[They definitely haven't heard that thing since it went into the other hall. Hm. Maybe they're still safe, for now.
Tamamo won't find anything out of place on the walls, floors, or ceiling in her cell.
Kagachi, on standing on the chair, will find a ceiling tile is slightly out of place; it can be moved to reach up in there.]
[ damn it. there probably isn't anything else here if this is the note he found, but dick tucks in the note and quickly goes over to the chair, looking under, over and under it. he gives a sweep of the floor and ceiling also while he's at it.
if he finds nothing, he'll step out of the cell to look through the hallways and see if there's anything there ]
[Whelp in that case Tamamo is going to have to pray this bed comes through for her. She's going to be looking under sheets if there are any, and underneath the bed as well, trying to cover every inch of it in search of something useful]
[Dick's sweep turns up... nothing, congrats. The hallway he is currently in is clear!
Tamamo will not find anything in the bed... the sheets are clear, the floor under the bed is clear.
Kagachi, meanwhile, will feel two things inside the ceiling cavity. The first item is an orange keycard; the second is a mangled and bloodstained journal.]
[ dick goes to check into cell 5, since it's right where he is-- but pauses when he sees kagachi on top of a chair in the middle of it. it looks like he's not the only one who ran into trouble with his original assignment.
he's got something in his hands so dick is wasting his turn to catch up and see what kagachi got!! ]
[OKAY LAST THING SHE WILL CHECK is underneath the mattress but after that she's going to have to consider this a wash (bc her player is stupid) and will go fleeing out into the hall.
Though if she does find something she will at least pause to give it a look over. Sorry boys, she'll join you soon.]
Once opened, the journal is... largely illegible. It's mangled, aged, and stained with old blood, and most of the pages have been ripped out. The inside cover says this once belonged to a 'Ryan F-', where the rest of the surname is unreadable.
There is one thing left in this journal that can still be read, though. At the back, spread over 2 pages in dark, flaky red, is:]
“I DON’T WANT TO DIE HERE I DON’T WANT TO DIE I DON’T WANT TO DIE”
dick follows him out because he might as well see if tamamo's done her cells, and also because cool, now he has a sad journal from ryan f- who died. press f for ryan.
which means they're all together in the middle hallway for a little, and so dick will show his findings, especially the note about the heart being in the medical room, and writes, quickly, one that says "NEED CODE FOR SECURITY ROOM, 6 DIGITS". ]
[She's relieved to see the two of them are alive, though she's also glancing up and down the halls all the while, her fox ears swiveling about to catch any noise. In the meantime she will hand Dick the journal page she found so that he and Kagachi can take a look at the hints.
Not gonna lie, boys, she has no idea what any of it means. Why can't you humans just write down the answer instead of riddles?]
he shows his pages, before he gestures in the direction of the medical cell with his keycard. time to go, guys. but, you know, watch out for the monster.
and to that end, he'll actually hand the card over to tamamo—the fact that he grips his scythe tighter with his other hand should indicate why. if they do run into the creature, she'll have to look into the medical office while he distracts it. dick will have to do. something of his choice.
with that, he cautiously starts heading down the central hallway towards the right, keeping an eye and ear out for the monster.]
[As he starts heading down that hallway, he'll hear a noise in the distance, as will the others if they join him. It sounds like there might be something in the right hand hallway...
But he'll have to be closer to try to determine if so, and in which direction. It's echoing a bit.]
[ dick hesitates once he gets the page with the hint, but he can't figure it out quite yet, and there's no telling if the door will lock if he inputs too many random numbers. so he follows along with kagachi and tamamo, sticking to the back of the line as he thinks, keeping an eye out for anything behind them. he's clutching something in his hand, ready to throw for
[Looking to Kagachi with absolute disapproval, even though she takes the key as offered. She gets it. She does.
She is also pulling out that scalpel from her pocket for the same reason Dick is looking for something to throw. Let a monster try its luck. :/ Maybe she gives a damn about these fools? Should've paired her with other people on the ship.
Anyway once they reach the junction where the righthand hallway and the central, horizontal hallway meet, she will listen first. If she doesn't hear a creature ready to barrel down her throat, she'll peek around? Is that righthand corner hallway clear?]
They just can't tell which corner the creature might have turned around, north or south. There's not currently a good way to gauge where it is; it's gotten quieter, possibly in an effort to seek its prey.]
there's no point lingering in wait, and once it's obvious the hallway is currently clear, dick taps their shoulders lightly as if to urge them. they've got to try and and make the most of the time they do have.
he still keeps an eye out for it popping up somewhere behind them as they head to medical ]
