[ 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. ]
....if this works, you gotta teach me how to do that.
[ he's not even going to question HOW mabel learned to pick a lock but he's okay with this. ichiro will keep watch! he's also listening. there's not any sound coming from inside room 69 (nice) that we can hear, is there? anything down the hallway? ]
[ I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT OF MODLY INFO WE WERE HANDWAVING SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK 68 OTHER ROOMS FIRST--whatever that's not the point
When the lock clicks open, Mabel will toss aside the bobby pin and give Ichiro an encouraging smile. She doesn't want to say anything in case there's something spooky inside, but she nods, because she will gladly teach lockpicking!
Anyway she pulls out her grappling hook again and hobbles in cautiously, her free hand groping wildly around the entrance for a light switch ]
[ ichiro says this to tanaka-san, looking over his shoulder one last time - he gives mabel a gentle nudge of "fuck yeah" and says nice quietly out loud when the lock clicks, and then follows after her. he's only got one hand so i changed my mind, he actually flicks the safety back onto the glock and draws his mic instead, ready to spit some fire verses if anyone or anything tries to attack them.
[ Mabel turns on the light, and they'll see a family standing near the back of the room. The kid from before is there as well. They're all holding tasers.
[ he's just going to immediately grab mabel and miku in his good arm, mic dangling from the knuckle rings, step back out into the hallway and SLAM THE DOOR SHUT AGAIN GOODBYE ]
We went up six floors! Do we have a fucking penthouse?! [ HUSTLES FOR THE STAIRS ]
[ Is there anything in the hallway that Mabel can use to barricade the door, or throw down behind them as they run to make them harder to follow? If so, she'll be doing that, but more importantly, she scrambles to the elevator and mashes the "up" button.
Then turns around and brandishes her grappling hook menacingly, just in case. ]
[ nope! nope nope nope he's going straight for the elevator also, because i guess he put his mabel bundle down so he's just got miku on. ]
Tell us what floor to get off on, at least! [ we're gonna die in this fucking elevator like hisoka. ichiro readies his mic, too, so they don't get fucking tased?! depending on how fast this elevator comes up to the sixth floor. ]

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. ]
