[Once the eleventh dummy is stabbed, the final click is heard and the door they found before appears right in the center of the arena floor. The handle pops up out of the seam where the symbol is. Surprise, you found it again!
There's nothing else of note, but they may be able to enter without being disturbed this time.]
[Sasuke just gives Takaomi a look... and carries on without even asking if Takaomi is okay. He stubbed a toe? It's fine.
Since he was made to go first last time, he'll just go first again, fuck it. He ain't SCARED. He's going to open the door for them so they can link arms and go inside.]
[Well. The door opens to reveal a set of stone stairs that lead down...somewhere. I'm glad they're holding hands on this mission because they're going to have to walk for a while, at least two flights of steps, before they step down into a pitch-dark room. Think of it like a furnished basement, the stairs lead straight into the room itself. They're going to have to find the lights for themselves though, and try not to trip over anything along the way.]
[Hm. Stairs. He could push Takaomi down them and take this all for himself. But then Senri would cry, and he'd have to come back and throw his own self down the stairs to be free.
THEY AREN'T HOLDING HANDS FRANCY
Carefully, he pulls out the Danger lighter to ignite it, but it doesn't really give off much light. They can at least see each other between it. He'll start trying to search for a wall on the left, running a free hand over it? Takaomi can search the right!!]
[ please push him down the stairs and end it all so i, francy, can be free
but he'll head for the right, pressing his hand against the wall and also tapping his foot against the ground as he walks in case there is some other floor thing along the way. ]
[Well, with the lighter there's not a lot that can be seen but as Sasuke goes to the left he'll be able to feel along the wall and he actually finds a doorknob. So hm. That's weird! Taka, meanwhile, if he walks to the right, should be careful because there's absolutely something in the way but it feels like...canvas and easy to squash. On the other hand, not far from the stairs Taka will find a light switch in the form of a string hanging from the ceiling. It might hit him in the face.
If Sasuke continues walking and ignores the door, he'll eventually hit the end of the wall and will be forced to turn toward another wall.
Both of them will get the feeling that the floor and the walls are made of smooth wood.]
[Sasuke closes his hand around the doorknob, but he waits. He goes on around the wall while Taka hopefully doesn't take forever to give them a light source.
At the end, Sasuke turns back and returns to the door, waiting for the light to come on first.]
To give them light! The lightbulb above them flicker a little before they come on, lighting up the room...
...and revealing the fact they didn't die, so that's cool. With the light source they'll find that it's what appears to be a fully furnished bedroom. With the stairs behind them, they'll be able to see a few things immediately. To the left of the stairs, in the direction Sasuke went, there's a bed. It's at least large enough to be a double or a queen and it's not made so black and gray sheets are kind of balled up. The door that Sasuke found leads into another room in the wall, but the door's firmly closed.
Taka had stepped on a pair of chuck taylors, beaten up and probably an average size for a male. There aren't any windows in the room, but directly across from the stairs there's a set-up of a large desk with papers scattered everywhere, a dresser, and a TV on top of the dresser. There's also a whole hoard of electronics on the dresser and the desk including large game consoles and also handheld ones.
The drawers are kind of ajar, there's something purple sticking out from under the bed. There're soda cans and a half-eaten pack of peanut butter cups on the desk. Somewhere away from the clutter there's a pair of white designer sunglasses that seem like they would fit a young woman. There's a nightstand with a couple of books next to the bed.
Oh and there's also a large sword mounted to the wall.
Sasuke's hand slips away from the doorknob, his squinted eyes adjusting. He puts the lighter away as he glances around. Not everything is super familiar, but it's... familiar. A boy's room?
He exchanges a look with Takaomi, seeming maybe a tad surprised.]
Whose...?
[Uh, well, okay. Sasuke turns, unsure where to begin. Since he's closer to the bed, he figures he'll start there. He'll see what the purple thing under the bed is.]
Anyway, let's start with Taka first because the desk is easier. As he searches through the papers on the desk what he'll find is a bunch of puzzles that seem to be half-completed. There're also a handful of doodles and also some notes on people including Takaomi himself. Granted, only Taka will know that because names aren't used at all.
There also seems to be a map. There's a body of water, a pavilion, a bunch of little buildings, a forest, and what looks like a mountain. This is all very messy and might be hard to decipher though.
Meanwhile, unfortunately, Sasuke gets to grab the purple thing and find out it's definitely a bra. So that's fine.]
[Sasuke is fine right up until he pulls the bra out.] What-- [He knows immediately exactly what the fuck it is because despite being a stupid moron focused on revenge, he knows what a bra is, so he quickly and hastily drops it like it burned him.
He stands up.
And he uses his foot to kick the bra right back under the beD, excommunicating this heathen sin out of his line of sight. His face is slightly red at the edges?? He needs a moment to hard reboot, hold on.]
Carefully, Sasuke maneuvers around the mess and over toward the desk with Takaomi. He leans enough to try to see what Takaomi is looking at, but can't without being, like, right in Taka's space.
So instead, he lifts the map to look it over.]
If there are other doors, all with symbols belonging to a god... [He glances at Taka briefly.] Do you know which god this one belongs to?
[Sasuke's brows knot. The information on the page is like... reconnaissance information? It's very familiar as a ninja with missions. And there's a map--
Oh SHIT.
The color drains from his face as he snaps his head up at Takaomi. It isn't fear so much as adrenaline that curdles his blood. He drops everything in his hands but the map, and he turns, almost crumpling it as he tries to roll it up. This he shoves into his shirt.
OKAY, now. Think. DON'T PANIC. He's calm!!!
They can't go back the way they came, and they can't get in through the other door if it's not opening. He turns back around and grabs a fistful of the back of Takaomi's shirt and starts quickly hauling the two of them across the room toward the bed. He shoves Takaomi down, throwing his weight on top of the other boy and shoving forward.
GET UNDER, GET UNDER!!!!
He goes as flat as possible, trying to both shove Takaomi under with him and squirm himself under, too.

1/2
—ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!
[Well. Hmm. Who might that be?]
I'm getting so tired of these idiotic robes. It will be much better once we don't have to wear them anymore, don't you think?
[Takaomi may recognize the voice as someone who didn't know what kanji was.]
no subject
[Great. This is fine. As the voices get closer, there's the sound of the doorknob turning, but it stops as the voice picks up again.]
Next time we need to do something like...whatever this is, we're totally going designer.
