[It's dark now so no one can see his eyes are closed and he's thinking. He's busy thinking about the room and this situation, letting Higekiri mess with the board.
It's a shot in the dark (haha) but...]
I am so sorry. [It's to the room, or more directly, to whatever Beck's duplicate is.]
[If Higekiri does as Beck instructs him, ALL will once again light up in green while BASEMENT 1 goes dim.
However... As kind as those words are, apologizing and asking politely don't seem to have any effect. There's no response from the room, or the door itself. What will they try next?]
[ ????? He’s thoughtful as he says it but like. Will go about his idea of? Cleaning? Those Genjis boys can do everything. He’s going to adjust the bed and tuck the sheets in, put the monitor back into place, close the locker,,]
anyway higekiri is just going to wander? back over to the switchboard??? he peers closer because he doesn't know fuckin shit about what all the symbols mean]
Is there a button for Exit?
[please tell him what the symbol for Stop or Pause looks like so he can hit one of them, this is dana's idea but her character is so fucking stupid it can't be executed alone]
[He's going to get up though. Okay, let's go see what the fuck is going on. He'll return to the cassette player and look.]
No button for exit, no. [But...sure. He'll go and put in a new cassette anyway. On his way back to the bed, he'll also check and see if the camera itself is on. Recording. Watching. Etc.] ...it's worth a try though.
[The message is datable, but. He'll go and lay on the very edge of the bed. Higekiri are you coming, let's just go full tilt stupid, his two braincells aren't here.]
[... Well. It's a new cassette, so even if Junpei hits plays, there's no audio recorded on it. They can always play one of the used cassettes if they want to listen to Jeff Goldblum again, though. That was nice.
The camera itself is still on. They'll have to check the monitor or viewfinder again to see what's happening, but it's definitely on. If they all lay down on the bed, they'll notice that it's a really nice bed. Definitely better than the ones available on the second floor. Super unfair.
Too bad laying down on it doesn't change anything about their situation.]
[higekiri would be super down to just lay like this forever honestly? this is a really nice bed? but like, humans have trauma and shit so he's going to eventually get up when he realizes that wasn't it]
I'll go investigate the device.
[he means the camera. WHAT DOES HIGE'S SWORD EYES SEE but also]
What button did you press? Is there one that's the opposite of that?
[HE NEVER PRESSED THE STOP BUTTON BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD HIM WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, this is the last idea that i have
actually i take it back it's the second to last idea i have. is there a power button. does it say on/off. is there a way to turn off the camera, because higekiri will try to do that if he can even get a idea of what button looks important,,]
[...he's done talking. He's done with a lot of things, so he's getting up and heading for the cassette player since Higekiri's at the camera.]
Stop might be a square. Or there might be a switch to turn the whole thing off, too. Try flicking that. But...what do you see when you look through the eye? [He's going to pause the tape player, too. So what happens when, maybe, the tape player is paused, the camera is off, and a sword is looking at a young woman on a bed whose corpse went AWOL?]
Hitting any of the buttons on the camera doesn't seem to do much, really. It's still recording. Still showing a mess of blood and gore on the bed, which... Beck is now laying on top of, according to the viewfinder. Though Beck herself won't feel it, Higekiri will be able to see through the camera that some of it has rubbed off on her, coating her skin and clothes. Gross.
The cassette player will pause, as normal. Nothing out of the ordinary there. ]
[ . . . . Hmmmmmm, that is concerning. Higekiri blinks.]
Miss, consider moving from the bed. It's nothing dangerous, but perhaps uncomfortable.
[LOOK, HE'S TRYING TO HELP WITHOUT RESURFACING HER TRAUMA
Can he move the camera around? If he's using the viewfinder would he be able to see anything inside it that stands out from the normal room - besides the whole blood, guts, and gore bit?]
[They can do that and be useful. He's going to go back to the bed, lay the fuck down, pick up a dildo, and lob it against the door as hard as possible, bemoaning his goddamn existence.]
What in the fuck do you want from us this time? [Who is he talking to? Who knows.]
[Being the type of dildo with a suction cup at the bottom, it bounces off the door before sticking to the next surface it touches — sadly jiggling from the impact. Wobble, wobble, wobble.
Just like the last times, pressing the NONE button causes it to light up in green. Meanwhile, ALL goes dim.
As for Higekiri... Hm! He will discover that the camera can, indeed, be moved. The tripod is set up so the camera can easily be spun around and aimed at any corner of the room. Is he point it towards any part of the room specifically?]
Nothing that I think should be comfortably described in detail - but perhaps we should all take long baths after this. It can be relaxing as well.
[higekiri stans cleanliness!! and junpei not throwing shit around!!!
but Higekiri is going to go ahead and move the camera around!! He aims it toward the door, like he's hoping that they'll get some kind of hint first - but then he'll also aim it toward the light switch, toward the monitor on the desk, and then toward the switchboard system. He'll also be okay with doing a full 360 because he's just curious.]
[He's watching the camera move, but he's staring at the monitor. He'll get up and readjust it so he can see before returning to the bed.]
Hey, Higekiri. Repeat that cycle with the camera again. [He's just watching to see what happens when the camera goes to the door, to the light switch, to the monitor itself, to the switchboard, and when it does the 360 and by nature the 180. i.e. assume he's moving the monitor while Hige's doing the camera thing and watching. What happens?]
[Nothing happens if Junpei spins the monitor around while Higekiri spins the camera, except for the fact that he'll miss some of the footage. Sad. :(
That said... Huh. As Higekiri moves the camera around, a few things will become visible on the viewfinder and monitor. In order:
- Something has been written in blood on the door. From top to bottom, it says: 1ST, and 2 C. - Beck's duplicate sits daintily on top of the desk. She's still naked, her legs crossed, and the flesh still missing from her face. She is also absolutely coated in blood. She waves cheerfully at Higekiri, before getting up and walking outside of the camera's field of view. - On the switchboard, the slot where a cassette can be inserted seems to be glowing. - Like Beck, Junpei is covered in blood after laying down on the bed.
Spinning the camera around a second time will show the same sights, save for Beck's duplicate. She's disappeared from the room.]

if that doesn’t work then higekiri will move to go investigate the switchboard?? but first - ]
Miss, please let us know if you feel anything else.
[he’s forgotten her name
anyway AT THE SWITCHBOARD he’s going to stare at it because oh god swords and technology. he furrows his brow]
Did you press something here...? Basement 1 is illuminated.
[presuming she tells him, he will press what she tells him to]
Did I forget to close the locker?
[IS THE ROOM BROKEN BC IT’S NOT CLEAN?]

Um, please allow us exit...?

Maybe try pressing the one that says all... That was lit up when we came in.

Maybe try knocking again?
[please don’t listen to him]
no subject
[She glances back over at Junpei, frowning.]
You took both cassettes, right? There isn't one left in the switchboard? Maybe if we try putting in one of the ones that says new on it...
no subject
Do you two trust me for a minute? Give me your hands. [If they listen, he'll start to slowly lead them over to the camera. ] Higekiri, put in a tape.
[And assuming he listens, after that he leads them and just. Pulls them both on the bed. What if they just sit. Does this work now?]

Is Higekiri going to insert another cassette in the switchboard?]

The pause button? It should have two vertical lines next to each other. Try pressing that.

None of the buttons appear to be working.

[Does she want to know? Probably not.
At any rate, she's going to head to the switchboard and press the 'none' button, because I have no other ideas.]
