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.
[See, Ambition is probably going to say something else, but then there's a strangled little yelp from the hallway, and in runs someone with a mask and robes, sounding furious.]
Sasuke keeps a hold on Takaomi just to make sure the other boy doesn't try anything preemptive that will give them away. But then Ambition runs in and yells about people being in here and--yeah, he panics just a little.
The people Senri cares about most--he promised he wouldn't let anything happen to them basically? Senri would kill him.
He leans over close enough to practically put his mouth against Takaomi's ear (sorry bro) so he can whisper:] Cover your mouth. Keep your head low. When they run, we run. Get ready.
[Shifting as quietly as possible, he takes out the lighter again. On the backside of the bed, the side not closes to the door, Sasuke slides over and flicks the lighter on with a click. He reaches out and holds the flame to the fitted sheet on the bed until it hopefully catches fire.
And then he prays to whatever fucking Naruto god he has to that it'll scare the two of them into running away before they die of smoke inhalation. GET LOST, YOU STUPID GIRLS. LET THEM OUT.]
[ taka, five seconds ago: she said that she thinks someone is here they don't know for sure we can still make it out
taka, now: OH MY GOD
I do not know what else to type other than takaomi is 100% certain that sasuke's plan all along was to get him killed here. there is no other explanation. they are literally in a room with two of the meanest gods and the last time taka spoke to one of them she was pissed at him and NOW the BED is on FIRE
THEY ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE HERE AND BURN TO DEATH WITH THIS BRA THAT BELONGS TO EITHER DISORDER OR AMBITION AND HE IS NOT SURE WHICH IS WORSE ]
There's, like, literally nobody in here. Maybe the rules are just broken. If there was somebody else in here, why wouldn't mine...
[She rolls her eyes, stretching out and sighing. But then, uh, she smells something burning, and sits up lightning fast, shrieking at the top of her lungs as she catches sight of the fire.]
Shit! Shit!
[Run away? No, she's grabbing one of the pillows and trying to fucking beat the fire into submission she will die on this burning bed before Cunning gets back and blames her for it.]
[He did not expect girls to be competent because Kishimoto never made any of his own girls THIS COMPETENT!!!! #shook
But they're distracted, even when Ambition comes rushing back with the water. Sasuke shoves at Takaomi's shoulder and nods out the side of the bed toward the door they came in. Escape. FREEDOM. If Takaomi can dodge Ambitions legs and scramble.
Sasuke, unfortunately, starts backpedaling instead. He drops the lighter and pulls the dagger out instead, trying to dodge Regina's legs until he's free. SURPRISE. There is a BOY spider-walking out from undeR THE BED. BY HER LEGS. He immediately stands straight up--
--the purple bra is stuck to the dumbass belt around his waist, hanging like a flag of sin, BUT IT'S FINE. He tries to grab for Regina so he can hold her hostage with the dagger.
She'll be able to see Takaomi escape if Takaomi isn't a moron and tries to get away, but at least Ambition hopefully won't be able to catch him.]
[ HOW DOES THIS KEEP GETTING WORSE IT'S LIKE EVERY PASSING SECOND SOMETHING EVEN MORE HORRIBLE HAPPENS!!!!! TAKAOMI MISSES THE GODDAMN MURDERS!!!!!!!!! YESTERDAY WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS FUCKING STRESSFUL AS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he. he wants to die. he has no idea how the fuck they are going to live here after all of this. where the fuck is he supposed to run to, sasuke? they are literally stuck in this murder temple they have nowhere they can go
he then has the only intelligent idea he has had since stepping foot in that armory, and digging in his pocket to pull out a pair of glasses and shoving them onto his face
and then he just. takes a moment to just pray that his god is out there somewhere..... to like....... make sure that when takaomi gets cursed, that it'll be a less worse curse than whatever the fuck sasuke is going to get hit with. and then he scurries from out under the bed and does his best not to DIE ]
[A lot is happening very quickly. Regina gets off the bed just in time for Ambition to douse the fire, and as smoke plumes through the room, a giant fucking spider crawls out from under the bed, only it's not a spider, it's sasuke fucking uchiha and he's got a knife to her throat.
Without properly seeing what exactly is happening, who the fuck it is, what the fuck, like any proper modern-day girl with a lot of anger issues, her immediate reaction is to stomp on one of his feet, smash her elbow into his gut, and slam her head backward into his.
Knife to her throat? Whumst? Can't be afraid when you don't hesitate! At some point during all of this madness, her mask returns to her face, and if her reaction managed to stun Sasuke enough, she stumbles away from him.
At least she doesn't notice Taka in all this? Godspeed, Taka.]
Sasuke dodges the stomp on his foot, but Takaomi's escape distracts him. He takes the hit to the gut with a hiss, but relative ease, but groans when the head cracks against his nose.
HE'S BEING BULLIED BY TWO GIRLS!!!
Regina escapes as he jerks his hand to his face, but Ambition tackles him when he isn't prepared. The dagger goes flying, the bra stays sadly attached, and he bowls over to the ground.

[Well. Hmm. Who might that be?]
