[ i guess he will tail the giraffe and check out the buffet anyway. it's close to lunch time, so he is exploring. how busy is the buffet right now? what's the layout of the room look like? is the giraffe going to eat alone, or are they looking to meet someone maybe? ]
[ The buffet looks fairly busy. They seem to be in the middle of changing out breakfast for lunch options. The buffet room itself is huge. There's a massive amount of offerings over here.
The giraffe is meeting up with a red panda in a business suit. ]
[ anyway this fucking sucks that it's busy because it means he's going to probably end up getting swept up in the lunch rush and also escorted into the buffet line. he is trying to watch the giraffe and the panda!!! wait!!!
a plate is pushed into his hands by someone monitoring the buffet and because he's watching, he fucking drops it.
IT'S FINE HE IS QUICKLY BLENDING IN TO PRETEND HE'S JUST A FOOL, A PEON.
are the giraffe and red panda staying for lunch. ]
but it's fine. he's grabbing another plate and moving along the line, putting food on said-plate and eventually weaving through the crowd to get to a table. is it possible to get a table nearby where they're having their meal? likewise, is it possible at all to pick up on what they may be talking about? even if he can't hear words can he read their facial expressions and general tone?
he is debating his life choices as he takes a sip of orange juice and shoves a strip of bacon in his mouth. i don't know why it's a breakfast buffet now, it just is. he vaguely wonders how the other two are doing.]
He can't get a table directly next to the pair, but he can get close enough. The red panda looks politely enthused and the giraffe seems hype about... something?
[ well he can't divine knowledge what's going on so he knows not of the cage.
he continues slowly eating this single piece of bacon.
i don't know if an 11 is at all any use for trying to really hone in and listen without him being obvious, but at least he's not directly staring at them. instead, he is glancing at his watch to check the time while he's hoping for an idea of what they're talking about. ]
this is useless to him, so he leaves his food on the table and wanders away.
so since there is time, can he access the sunset terrace/cabana bar and casino to see if there's anything unusual up there? on the way, he's also keeping an eye out for any sort of lead whether that's a suspicious person, a group of people moving in a certain direction, or hearing something. ]
They will assume Nico is staying here and will be charging this to his room. Nobody will be going after him to pay for his barely eaten buffet food.
There's a lot of people over in the sunset terrace/cabana bar, but they don't really seem to be suspicious. Somebody is talking about golf. Somebody else is excited for a baseball game tomorrow. ]
[ it is truly asking a lot of him to care enough to focus and not get frustrated this is taking a while, but it's fine. he has an iota of patience. if nothing seems to be interesting up on the terrace/cabana, he'll head out to explore in the area north of there (the petrus, palmer, etc.) ]
[ cool! actually maybe the cabana was better! with a 13, is it possible to dodge without getting hit while checking how this trap is set up? is there anything else very obviously set up by these rooms? how easy is it to disable the trap. ]
he looks annoyed, but he reaches up to stop the axe from swinging. he has a little bit of time, so he is going to step past this trap actually and use a hand to start the swinging again to deter other people.
is it possible to enter the room(s) the axe trap's blocking? what will he see if he's able to peer inside? ]

Nico, pick up another plate, blend in! There's a line behind him, get some food and go to a table. ]

Hans has not gotten caged.
He can't get a table directly next to the pair, but he can get close enough. The red panda looks politely enthused and the giraffe seems hype about... something?
Enjoy your meal. ]

Nico hears the word "curry" from the red panda. The giraffe still looks hype. ]

However.
These are not real axes. They look real from a distance, but coming this close means he can tell they're fake. It bonks him on the head. ]

The axe goes swinging.
There's nothing in here except a bunch of chairs and tables against a wall. ]

i guess he's just going to go to the meeting place and keep an eye out for anything on the way there? leave the axes. ]
