[ It sure did do something weird, didn't it. ]

... Did it leave someone here again?

[ Taichi looks at the two of them. Should they look? ]

[alitaba]

[ she will clutch onto taichi's sleeve. ]

Shine the light.

[ they can creep closer!! ]

[amain]

[ Taichi shines the light?! But there's no one to be seen. Lalli squints a bit more, but doesn't want to approach himself.

There is just fear here since dead bodies are still piled on the other side. You never know what to expect. ]

[alitaba]

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- ]

That's not weird at all!

[ no one pay attention to how high her voice went. back to the sand...! ]

Let's see if this leads anywhere before anything else happens!!

[amain]

[ Very weird that the door opened, then closed, but there's no one else here!

But back to the sand. Taichi and Lalli look at each other before they try to dig? Except they're met with wooden boards. It looks like the sand came through some small cracks. ]

[alitaba]

[ yeah they're gonna die again.

anyway, she makes a UGH sound at the boards blocking their way. ]

What use is this???

[ Futaba uses KICK ]

[amain]

[ ... It makes the noise it would if wood was smacked. The boys sigh as they realized they are trapped here.

Still. It's weird that there is no new body? Also weird, no... Sniffling? Or crying? ]

[alitaba]

[ UGHS but louder. she goes to pet the npcs head-

wait. is npc still here?? hello? DID THEY LOSE THEIR CHILD ]

[amain]

[ Yeah. You guys sure lost the kid?

Taichi and Lalli realize this and their eyes widen like oh my god. How did they forget the child? There is like... a sliver of light coming from the door. It's easier to see at the center of the area, where the kid once was. ]

[alitaba]

WHERE'D THEY GO?!

[ they are doing sO GOOD- she screams through her teeth. ]

How'd they get out??

[ time to slam herself at the door?? ]

[amain]

[ You know... ever since the door opened and closed last time! The door has been opened! Whatever it is, it forgot to slam the door completely shut.

This has the boys' eyes widen even more. TIME TO BOOK IT? ]

[alitaba]

[ i'm crying. futaba's crying. we're all crying here.

TIME TO BOOK IT ]

[amain]

[ The thirst for FREEDOM is more than the thirst for SURVIVAL. Lalli, Taichi, and Futaba book it! And above this they will see a wooden interior thanks to their oil lamp.

Except Taichi ran a bit too fast and the lamp goes out. It's pure darkness again... But there is noise. A clank. Then some rummaging. People wanting to say something, then nothing. ]

[alitaba]

[ TAICHI, OUR LIGHT.

she squeaks and clutches onto the nearest noodle. futab's is really not doing her best without Necronomicon. ]

Do you hear that?

[ someone turn on a (flash)light ]

[amain]

[ There's no answer. There's just... (Riku voice) Darkness. ]

[alitaba]

[ great. ]

Anything.....?

[ she will reach for her phone to try her flashlight again ]

[amain]

[ It is flickering! Very fast, very close to dying out, but she can kind at least see that it was the oil lamp that made the clank noise. It's on the floor.

There are no feet around. No dismembered feet, either. Nice. ]

[alitaba]

[ ???????? ]

Guys...?

[ oh n she will take the lantern and attempt to relight it in the meantime. ]

You stupid shades, why'd you leave. [ :\!!! ]

[amain]

[ The oil lamp will light! And she will see the wooden interior again... Since I know Futaba is a smart baby, she might recognize that these doors look similar to ye olde ship cabins.

There's one right in front of her, then there's a ladder right beside it. If she looks left, there's a dark hallway, to her right, there's another door.

If she's looking for the boys, they seem to be nowhere in sight. ]

[alitaba]

[ did i get kidnapped by pirates? she sadly thinks about ryuji.

time to try the first door in front of her ]

[amain]

[ Maybe? Who knows? Maybe she can learn more as she explores!

In this room, she can see that it is a kitchen. Not a janky, subpar kitchen, but a relatively high-end kitchen. Some of the kitchenware is still on the stovetop, some notes are on the wall near it, and there are obviously cabinets. ]

[alitaba]

[ there's a rumbly in her tumbly...

but instead of getting herself caught red handed, futabs goes to peek at the wall of notes. ]

[amain]

[ There are notes that she can read! There are definitely orders. They're not cheap orders, either. They're somewhat complex, going as far as to write down notes on allergies for some passengers.

Since she got close to the notes, she might notice something shiny by the pantry shelves. ]

[alitaba]

[ she upgrades that thought from pirate ship to ye olde cruise liner?

but moving onto the panty, what shiny things does it hold...! ]

[amain]

[ Shiny...

Shiny is MONEY. Futaba can have 500 gold. ]
