[ unfortunately this doesn't strike him as weird right away. not that he very often has thoughts about committing homicide to people he likes, but when you're a child of death sometimes it's just natural to think of how a person might die.
shovel get. ]
I think there were three different entrances on the main floor. Should we each take one and then head up to the second floor together?
[ NEITHER OF YOU ANSWERED WHAT IT SMELLED LIKE so he's gonna assume maybe he's insane for thinking it smells like oreos and put the bottles back in his jacket pocket. whatever. fine. he has his murder shovel and he's kind of Aware of the weight of the thing in his hand. how quickly he could swing it if he had to. the right angle for the blade--
--hm. maybe he needs a new hobby after all.
anyway, he...isn't dumb. he knows what the quiet signifies and he looks at reigen like he's asking permission. like. is it really okay? he'd probably do whatever he wants anyway but he has some semblance of how weird these little trips can be. even if they aren't real (?). ]
...okay. Let's all stick to the same floor at least. We'll take the left first. [ and he will approach will as reigen begins to head up the stairs, letting him pick whatever room he wants. he extends a paw for will though. hold plz? ]
...neither of those--really? I can't even imagine how that smells. It's just Oreos to me. [ it's only when he finds himself idly wondering if he should kill will for having a wrong answer to the liquid's smell or reigen for going in the opposite direction that he realizes maybe there is something wrong with this shovel. so he will set this by the front door so they can grab it on the way out. it's hard to do anything when one of his hands is occupied with will's, and he can at least read the vibe. ]
We'll be close by then, and we can take the back room together. Be careful. [ they can go left... ]
...so far I still feel the same. [ this is to will, but i suppose reigen may hear this as well as they're splitting up. ] Animal transformation notwithstanding.
[it's less that he's nervous and more that he's codependent enough that he's a little sulky about nico having suggested they split up. don't mind him.]
Oreos and takeout...? [not even golden oreos?? smh.] ...I wonder if it's like how ambrosia tastes different to everyone who eats it?
[anyway. into the left room they go, what's here? he squeezes nico's paw.]
...okay, that's a good sign. I don't get why we're animals though.
[we use paw interchangeably so often that i forgot i actually made you guys animals until right now
anyway - we'll start with the right room. the right room is a kitchen! it's a cute little space. the room is warmly lit, with light pink paneling on the walls and a rustic brown wood floor. there's a bookshelf and cabinet combination that has all sorts of cookbooks and assorted glassware, as well as a couple of fancy wine bottles that don't look like they have wine in them, judging by the color. there's an island counter with little barstools, as well as a fridge, coffeemaker, stove, and sink. on the counter there is a packet of seeds for pumpkins, and against the wall is an axe, next to a pile of wood.
it smells good in here. like pizza.
the room to the left is a game room? or... something like that, it's a media center room. the walls are covered in books - though at second glance, it appears that they are painted onto the wall to make it appear like the walls are bookshelves. the floor is a light pink color, with a cute flower pattern. there's very little lighting in this room, save for the faerie lights that line the walls.
there's a huge tv on the wall, with a table below it that has a switch, and a single zombie movie sitting on it. for some reason there's a fishing rod sitting on the pink couch that's situated in front of the tv.]
[well, he's going to grab that axe. thank god. finally, some weapons to fight the bosses with. and he'll grab some pumpkin seeds, since seeds can come in handy, too.
I was wondering the same. Not that I think we'll need it, but again I'd rather take everything we can as long as we can, just in case. We still don't know where we are, and we should probably watch Reigen to make sure we all get back safe.
[ not that he thinks reigen can't defend himself but uh. they've kind of been trained for combat and quests their whole lives, so it's just a thought. at least reigen can't hear them.
they're in the game room and he...pauses. there's something that kind of tugs at his brain and he frowns in thought as he looks around. he shouldn't assume. none of those things mean that this is...that. so he doesn't voice the thought out loud. instead, he will lead them forward. there is a fishing rod? but he ignores it in favor of the switch.
[he grabs the fishing rod while nico gets the switch i'M SORRY SKIP ME IF IT'S MY TURN BEFORE I SAY I'M BACK IN CHAT I'M BEING SENT OUT TO PICK UP FOOD]
[reigen can have the axe! it squirms when he touches it.
the pumpkin seeds go right into his pocket. as for the bottles, they're filled with something fizzy and orange. or... green, sometimes? blink and you miss it, but sometimes it looks a little like the way a vat from a sci-fi movie might, in the right light.
nico can turn on the switch! when he does, he'll find that whoever was playing it last was playing pokemon sun. will takes the fishing rod, and remembers that he borrowed this from ace a while back, actually. he should probably return it.]
[ oh cool he hasn't played this one. he's still new to technology in a lot of ways but he at least can figure it out. can he stream the game to the tv? what sort of team does the player have?
also what's up with this zombie movie. can he look at it? is there actually a disc in the case? ]
the kitchen is... kind of functional? kind of. touching the stove means it pops open, and a little bit of white smoke comes out of it, but it doesn't appear to actually turn on. that's where the pizza smell is coming from, not that he can see any pizza in it. the fridge opens, but there's no food in it. instead there's a collection of grass, rocks, yellow bags with stars on them, three different types of wood, and a lot of outfits and accessories.
if he touches any of these outfits he will be wearing one, and his clothes he's wearing now will pop into the fridge.
nico can play pokemon on the tv, sure. the team is a full team of dittos and all of them have stupid fucking names like blorngo and bloorby.
the zombie movie seems pretty generic, just a typical b-movie, but the disc is broken in two. it looks like someone snapped it in half, honestly.]
[ that sounds about right. love these funky lil dittos. nico puts the switch down and seems to be fiddling with the tv to see if he can get any kind of news or programming. does it connect at all?
but he's also. frowning softly at the movie. that is not promising. ]
which he instinctively knows is money. whoever owns this house keeps their money in the fridge. there's something like... 40,000 bells in here? wow. also his suit is mysteriously gone forever because i think he needs to be wearing a hawaiian shirt and shades for the rest of this cyoa.
when nico fiddles with the TV, he finds that he can make it go to a news screen, but it's just the same ten-second loop of the local museum on fire. what he can see is a black shadow monster, glitchy and white-eyed, staring out from the depths of the building.]
[whatever at least he's fucking rich. shoving these bells in his pockets? of his hawaiian shirt? or does he just have the hammerspace little animals do where they can put a sofa in the pocket of their flesh body.
well anyway he's getting out of this kitchen with his loot and heading to the third room.]
[ he is watching that loop for a little bit. considers this. decides to turn off the tv and takes will's hand to head to the third room to join reigen. will can keep his fishing pole i guess, britt can always have him come back to look in this room later.
[i hate pocket of their flesh body as a phrase thank you. they can have hammerspace for items they're carrying around with them.
the third room is just a bathroom, and there's nothing really special in here other than a watering can. for. some reason. it's just sitting on a stool near the red-stained bathtub.]

[splitting up, huh? will is quiet for a few long moments, then he sighs.]
That's probably the most efficient way of doing it.
[he'll start heading up the stairs then.]
I'll take them room on the left?

Kind of weird that it smelled like diet coke and mentos, huh...?
[up they go! he does look to reigen with some concern.]
...if it's not a race, you don't have to take one of the rooms alone either.
[but if he prefers to he certainly can so he doesn't have to keep watching the boys flirting with each other in a bit.]

the stairs creak a little as you do. you're back in the main room. are we going left or another direction?]
no subject
Kinda smelled like takeout for me, which is a little disgusting in a liquid.
[even if it's a nice smell. but he shrugs. he doesn't mind splitting up, actually, he just said something because will seemed nervous about it.]
Eh, I'll be fine. I'll shout if anything weird happens.
[he will go right!]
