[ oh he absolutely just reopened like every wound he has but that's fine. wheeze. ichiro leans against the door and lets mabel do the yelling this time. ]
[ Mabel wrenches the door open wide so she, Miku, and Ichiro can all pile in, before slamming it shut behind her. She has no idea who opened it, or if they're even just inside the entrance, but ]
Oh my gosh, thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! We would've been truck pancakes if you hadn't opened the door for us!
[ thank fuck. he shuts the door and leans on it and then immediately starts trying to check out their surroundings. are there any people around? what does the apartment complex look like.... can we hear ichinose abusing the elderly upstairs ]
[ no can do! he puts himself just a little bit in front of mabel and protects miku like that, too. ] He's not for sale. Can we help you find your family?
[ And the kid just turns around and runs into the stairwell. Hm.
Besides the stairwell, there's an elevator, and a long hallway that has apartments on either side of it. There's also mailboxes next to them. Where do they go. ]
are any of the mailboxes open? i will peek in them. federal crimes.
otherwise he's gonna go check out the stairwell while he's at it. any neon lights that say "go this way" or creepy children standing on the top stairs? ]
[ ichiro will snag the pet shop flyer and tuck it in his breast pocket next to his glock, and then make his way up after mabel! that child was up here so he's trying to stick very close, though climbing the stairs quickly sure is an endeavor right now. up they go! ]
Room 69. [ a tiny little lizard in his brain goes "nice" because he's nineteen but he has enough self control not to say it out loud. he's checking on miku to make sure he's close by, too. ] Make sure you've got your grappling hook ready just in case, yeah?
[ jesus, are they going up 6 flights of stairs, then? in their condition???
well, whatever, i'm not thinking about it.
Mabel indeed pulls her grappling hook out like she's a sneaky spy! She approaches room 69 cautiously and then...well, normally she'd kick it open but one of her feet is totally out of commission so. she'll just open the door like a fuckin normie, i guess ]
[ yeah ichiro's not looking hot when they get up to the sixth floor. he'll take a moment to check out the flyer when they're near the top so he can catch his breath and doesn't pass out at the top of the stairs....
and then trade the flyer for his glock, cock the gun, and follow mabel. super spy. ]

Hmmm...which one of these is ours? Does it have one of our names on it?
[ Mabel peers at the mailboxes for a clue. Do they have names on 'em so they can figure out which apartment is theirs? ]
no subject
Good thinking. [ and he'll look over at the elevator, too. no way to tell how many floors this place has just by looking at it/above it, is there? ]
no subject
It looks like there's up to 14 floors, according to the elevator buttons. It smells vaguely of old milk... ah, apartment elevators. ]

There's nothing he can see in the stairwell, but he can hear pained groaning above.
Tanaka speaks. ]
Just go up!

If they're going to room 69, then they'll have to stop at the sixth floor. The child is not in sight. ]
