[FINE WE GET IT FRANCY but he'll gesture for Ichinose with Hector to stand back.]
Alright. Uh. Here I go.
[And just....diving a hand in quickly to nab the thing and pull it out, raising his metal bat in the case he needs to do a home run with this gamer girl bathwater thing?]
[ It opens! It's a bedroom, and everything is neatly organized in a way that makes it seem more like an orderly hotel room than somewhere that a person normally lives.
Tanaka speaks. ]
Ichinose, this is your room. You can take a nap if you want. It's been a long night.
[She gets the feeling she'll be shoehorned into napping sooner or later, considering how things have gone. But for now, she starts poking around the room. Is there anything weird besides the, uh, general neatness?]
[ Mandi will opens a door and see another bedroom. Like the other one, it's also generally neat, the only difference being the general color palette and where the furniture is placed. ]
That room is yours.
[ Nothing else seems odd about Ichinose's room. However, the longer she stays in it, the more agitated Hector seems to get. ]
[ The third room is set up to be a kind of animal play room! Toys, beds, food-- everything you'd typically have for a pet.
It's also in a giant disarray. There's old blood, claw marks, things that were eaten through... it's hard to walk through it without stepping on something.
[Oh. Well. She is absolutely not stepping into that room? Hector already had a conniption when she walked into her very empty bedroom? She looks into the room from just outside the doorway, frowning.]
Hector-chan freaked out in the bedroom, so that's a no. [Hector's animal instincts are better than theirs, maybe.] But where to go from here...?
Some creatures are just cursed, and shouldn't be mixed with society. Even if you love them, and do your best to care for them... it's just not meant to be.
[ They can hear a sound from a different part of the room. ]

We won't know what it is unless you pull it out. Just keep in mind, I found a bloody collar.

It's also covered in dry blood. That might be why the water was dirty. ]
no subject
[He kind of wants to retch. What is this doing here??]
This is NOT how you wash things. What the hell?
[And turning back to Ichinose.]
If this is our apartment, and we brought this bat back....what does this stuff all belong to?
no subject
That's what I'd like to know, too... Let's keep looking, Mandricardo-san.
[Heading out into the hallway again! She walks to whichever door is closest to the bathroom, taser in hand, and tries it. Is it open?]
no subject
Tanaka speaks. ]
Ichinose, this is your room. You can take a nap if you want. It's been a long night.
no subject
[He's dropping the wet pet bed on the floor of the bathroom. Yuck. He doesn't want to keep touching it. Looking over her shoulder.]
Do I have a room, too?
[He'll try to open one of the other doors!]

no subject
[Not a bad room, but he's turning away and trying the door of the last room.]
no subject
[She exits into the hallway and offers her another fruit snack? There, there...
Anyway, yeah, she's peering over from this spot as Mandricardo tries the last door. Her taser is ready.]

It's also in a giant disarray. There's old blood, claw marks, things that were eaten through... it's hard to walk through it without stepping on something.
Hector eats her tweat. ]
no subject
[What kind of animal was using this??? He uses his foot to kick over a blood-covered toy. Also, he's looking for a cage!]
Do you want to stay here...? Maybe we shouldn't use the bedroom?
no subject
Hector-chan freaked out in the bedroom, so that's a no. [Hector's animal instincts are better than theirs, maybe.] But where to go from here...?
no subject
Tanaka hums thoughtfully. ]
Ah, curses...
no subject
[Yelling at the ceiling.]
What about curses, huh? Could you finally give us an explanation...please?
no subject
[But also, ouch?? Please calm down, child? She tries to soothe Hector, stepping away from this creepy ass room.]
no subject
[ They can hear a sound from a different part of the room. ]
Oh. There's guests.
