[ hello shinobu. if you are walking down the hall, a chicken is now walking towards you.

further down the hall, tsurumaru is following behind said chicken. he seems pleased. ]

[wisterin]

[ hello. she crouches down to greet this chicken. ]

Hello, Bob-chan. Is your new room nice, Tsurumaru-san?

[preowned]

I wasn't expecting to get my own room.

[ sure, the bathroom is shared, but that is such an upgrade after bunk beds. ]

[wisterin]

[ once she's greet bob-chan, she stands back up. ]

They're going for luxury. [ a beat. ] Although mine is a bit more like home than luxurious.

[preowned]

Mm. The rest of the hotel is definitely fancier than mine... although I am guessing it's catering to us specifically then?

[wisterin]

That's a little creepy, if it can cater to our tastes. I want to be angry about my room, but it's smarter to be as rested as I can.

[preowned]

It's not too surprising, since it always gets informations on us... like the book.

[ the ic profiles :/ ]

[wisterin]

[ she smiles. ]

If only we could yeet that into the fire, too, but we may need it for reference later.

[ when i inevitably forget to look at ic profiles during trial ]

[ 9. You open a door which leads into a comfortable sitting room that matches the hotel's aesthetic. On one of the tables is a board game - you and whoever who has entered the room with you will not be able to exit until you have played the game to completion. If you don't have enough players, shadowy figures that look like the silhouettes of people you know from your previous game who are not here will fill the space. Their mannerisms are just the way you remember. Once the game ends, you find yourself back in the hall, disoriented and feeling a little homesick for the people you're no longer with.

he's staring at the door. then looks at shinobu. ]

I wonder if this will be a good surprise or not.

[wisterin]

I didn't very good luck with these doors yesterday.

[ she looks at the door, then at tsuru. ]

I would lean towards bad.

[preowned]

Well, best to know how bad.

[ he just opens it ]

You never know when it might come up.

[wisterin]

But not everyone. At least, I use it to learn everyone's names.

[wisterin]

You want to give people heart attacks.

[ but she's following because if she cared about her safety over others, she wouldn't be here. ]

[preowned]

Or fun facts!

[ ... ]

What is a 'cha' anyway?

[ he doesn't know dnd lingo ]

[preowned]

I wish to get their blood bumping.

[ oh, this place doesn't look too horrible. he glances around. ]

It looks like just a room. Is there a monster underneath a chair?

[wisterin]

Tea?

[ no, wait. the context. ]

I'm not sure. I know dex is dexterity because Lup mentioned it. And maybe str is strength?

[ which scans for her and she absolutely hates. ]

[wisterin]

You may get their blood boiling.

[ he says that, and she is looking under all the chairs. ]

Not yet, but maybe we'll step on a floor tile, and it'll come out. The only thing that stands out is that.

[ she gestures at the table with the game on it. ]

[preowned]

That would make sense... and wis is... wise?

[ he's almost got it ]

I have no idea what con is.

[preowned]

Do they want us to play...?

[ at least it's not a mystery because of the game room. he'll walk over. ]

That seems oddly tame.

[wisterin]

[ close enough that she nods. makes sense to her. ]

Con... stipation? Consternation. Confusion?

[wisterin]

I will take tame after what we've been through.

[ she sits at the table. what game are they going to play? ]

But I'll anticipate the inevitable catch.

[preowned]

I guess it might be easy to be confused in battle?

[ what a weird chart..... ]

[preowned]

[ connect four.

he has no idea how to set this up. ]

Maybe. Although I did get stuck in this one room that was boring.

[ it was an office. ]

[wisterin]

Does that make sense?

[ she said it, but does it make sense? ]

I suppose I'll have to watch to see how easily confused people become and see if it matches.
