[As Senri and Ray enter the parlor, they'll find that they're blissfully alone. There are vases filled with fresh roses in reds and whites, the bar has been restocked with drinks of all kind, and the curtains are opened to let the sunlight stream in. The furniture is immaculate as always, positioned into little clusters for groups to spend time together.
[Holy fucking shit Ray. Anyway, Senri obviously doesn't get a response at all, and Ray having a gun doesn't suddenly alarm anyone. Instead, they'll find that it's still quiet.
The piano itself is well cared for, finely turned and dusted and polished. There's also a white rose laying on a space just above the keys itself. What will they do next?]
Probably - he's a lot better than I am, though. If it's something complicated, I'll be really unhappy!
[senri will pluck at some of the keys - he'll actually try them all in an ascending order. it hasn't sounded off to him so far, but he wants to make sure?
also - ]
Can... Can you put the gun down, please. Do you still have the dagger? Let's take dagger over gun.
[The rose is very nice and very real? Senri might even recognize it. It's been well-cared for at least and thank you for putting down the gun. The dagger's apparently fine though.
Meanwhile, trying the keys in ascending order just makes for a lot of musical plunking.
However, if they listen closely, they may hear a very faint bark.
[The rose is just #aesthetic. Anyway, the descending order does nothing except elicit another bark from somewhere in the far wall.
Should Senri look at the piano keys, however, he may notice that some are a bit more worn than others which is...strange. There's no discerning rhyme or reason for this at first glance and there doesn't seem to be an order.]
[So okay, this is already going better than the emus. Senri plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and as Ray moves over to the wall there's a soft clicking noise that can be heard, and a portion of the wall pops open! Just enough to know there's a door, but not enough that it's ajar. They'll have to open it themselves.
[oh my god that's. so funny that he's cracking up actually. but then he'll head over to the door and....]
Ray-kun, I'll go in first, because you with that dagger and a dog on the other side of the door is making me super nervous. If anything happens, Beauty might never forgive me?
[Well. Ray is closer to the door, so when it opens he can slip right into what appears to be a very, very large bedroom. The walls are a soft lavender color and the furniture is rather lavish. There's a large bed against the with blue and white bedding, neatly made and pillows fluffed. There're end tables with vases of roses, a large writer's desk in a corner, and a white chaise. There's also a bookcase filled with books and journals on several subjects, along with an array of music books. Another door is in the room that's been left propped open just enough to reveal an equally lavish bathroom, white and gold accents including a claw-foot bathtub for some reason?
There's a closet on another wall, along with a small nightstand that seems to hold a small picture frame.
Hanging from the walls are five portraits; a dark-haired boy with glasses, a taller, more serious dark-haired boy, a small blonde boy, two auburn-haired twins, and someone who looks like an effeminate male. They're all in a line and seem to be in eyesight.
Oh. And there's also one (1) very excitable golden retriever with a bright red bow around her neck who's bounding her way straight to the door and at Ray. Please don't stab the dog.]
[jan please tell me who you know beauty is so we can both die
but senri iS HONESTLY DARTING IN RIGHT AFTER RAY, INTERNALLY SCREAMING A LITTLE BIT????
and he's
so fucking heart eyes for this dog. immediately. also he's terrified of what ray can do with a dagger - AT LEAST IT'S NOT A GUN - so he'll move himself in between ray and the dog to catch her, even if it means being toppled over????]
[Thanks for not stabbing the dog. She barks joyfully and immediately knocks Senri flat on his back, tail wagging 8430948 miles an hour and licking his face, paws flat on his chest.
For his troubles, Ray will find that there's even stationary on the desk and monogrammed with a crest of a rose. There are a few notes on them, but they seem to be ideas for various themes including but not limited to "casino night", "Venice", "jungle", "Ikedaya" and others.
There also appears to be letters to people named Kyoya and Haruhi. They seem to explain details of the game as it's proceeded so far, and while they aren't meant to be sent, it's just an indicator of how unsettled Beauty has been by the way the game's proceeding.
[The dog barks again, "yesyesyes!" She's not moving at all. This is a dog who also gets lonely when she's left alone too long, and if Senri looks long enough he'll find that the dog has a collar under the bow with a nametag: Antoinette.
Ray, meanwhile, will find that the books are a mixture of French and Japanese even if he doesn't recognize the languages themselves. It's a variety of fictional stories, language books, some school books, some history books, romance novels, manga…it's a mish-mash of stuff. The journals appear to be studies on various time periods and cultures as well.]
[he's just. going to go through everything on the bed and also the flower vases, but he'll be nice enough to put everything back where they belong and re-make the bed.]
[Antoinette relents enough to let Senri up. She whines a little in that way that dogs do when their master's away even though they know where they've gone. As such, she nyooms to the other room to look for Beauty in his bathroom. Clearly he must be hiding!!
The dog and her master unfortunately are alike.
Ray will only find that the bed is very comfortable and it's high quality bedding? All of the roses are real and have fresh water. Beauty has been taking care of them apparently. There's also a vase of slightly wilted flowers drying out, past offerings he's received.]
[The bathroom is bright and beautiful and there's a giant mirror over the sink. The tub is there and there's also a shower and cabinets. If Senri bothers opening them they'll reveal they have a bunch of stuff from the salon. Antoinette seems to be whining at the mirror a little bit still no Beauty. Weird.
Ray meanwhile will find the chaise also in immaculate condition except for a small blanket thrown over the back of it. The closet is full of designer clothes for a tall and thin male. And also a designer shirt that looks like something Majima would imagine. ]
[senri will look around?? he's honestly probably going to take pictures of the stuff in the cabinet because he's curious what someone named the god of Beauty has made their skincare routine? he's up for learning and taking notes. he pets antoinette gently when she whines, but also takes a second to tilt his head as he peers more into the mirror]
Something here, darling?
[he'll reach up to press his fingers lightly to the mirror surface??]
[Senri will find that there's moisturizer and lotions and scrubs. And also bath bombs and oils. Antoinette whines at the mirror again but even as Senri pushes it nothing seems to happen. Must not be meant for him.
Ray, meanwhile, will see that the framed photo is of a young beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes and delicate features. There's something warped about the photo though since it's clear by the smudge there's supposed to be a smaller figure in the photo as well.
I hope Ray hates this and Senri's having a great time.]
senri is squinting???? he's going to knock gently on the mirror because antoinette keeps whining on it, but otherwise he'll just pet her and peer out the bathroom]
Find anything, Ray-kun?
Antoinette keeps whining at this mirror and I can't figure out how to give her what she wants.
Ray enters the bathroom and while pushing on it did nothing, hitting it elicits a hollow-ish sound. Seems like there's something back there they can't have access to!
[Antoinette barks again, sensing that they're going to leave and running away to head out to the room and jump up on the bed. She'll lay her head on her paws to patiently wait for Beauty to come back.

WEEK 3, MONDAY
And it's deadly quiet. Strange.
Go forth, morons.]
no subject
Mm - Beauty, can you hear me? I'm coming in! I've brought a friend...
[do gods always have an ear in their rooms?? he's not sure. but he'll actually head straight for the piano]
He likes playing... If there's any way to find his room, it's probably here.
no subject
What, do we have to play a specific song on it?
no subject
The piano itself is well cared for, finely turned and dusted and polished. There's also a white rose laying on a space just above the keys itself. What will they do next?]

Can... Can you put the gun down, please. Do you still have the dagger? Let's take dagger over gun.
no subject
[now ray has to GO through the EFFORT of putting his gun back into the holster on his back, before he takes out his dagger instead. there.
with that done, he'll be picking up the rose?]
no subject
Meanwhile, trying the keys in ascending order just makes for a lot of musical plunking.
However, if they listen closely, they may hear a very faint bark.
Looks like the piano is key after all.]
no subject
He kept it...
[awwwwwwww. he's soft - up until he hears the bark and. blinks?]
.... dog?
[he'll slide his hand down the keys in descending order now????]
no subject
but now he's definitely gripping that dagger harder just in case.]
no subject
Should Senri look at the piano keys, however, he may notice that some are a bit more worn than others which is...strange. There's no discerning rhyme or reason for this at first glance and there doesn't seem to be an order.]
no subject
[he's really nervous about ray and that dagger now - though he'll also peer at the keys....?
senri will poke at them curiously, looking at the notes.]
That'd be....
Hmmm, it's probably a song but I'm still a beginner. All I've got is...
[he plays twinkle twinkle little star?? like. super basics. he's a performer but not a pianist.]
no subject
[anyway.
he goes over to the wall where the bark is coming from and knocks on it to see if it sounds hollow or not.]
no subject
TADA!!!]
no subject
.... seriously, Beauty?
[oh my god that's. so funny that he's cracking up actually. but then he'll head over to the door and....]
Ray-kun, I'll go in first, because you with that dagger and a dog on the other side of the door is making me super nervous. If anything happens, Beauty might never forgive me?

Dog!! ♥♥♥
[GOD]

... well then. ray does not stab the dog, you're welcome. he'll leave senri to it and immediately start going through the desk.]
no subject
For his troubles, Ray will find that there's even stationary on the desk and monogrammed with a crest of a rose. There are a few notes on them, but they seem to be ideas for various themes including but not limited to "casino night", "Venice", "jungle", "Ikedaya" and others.

Senri can keep being useless with the dog.]
no subject
Hello, gorgeous! Are you giving me a bunch of doggy kisses because you wanted some company? Ah, I would've loved to see you before! Hello, hello!!
[AAAAA HE'S IN HEAVEN
but also he'll look over to ray, still laughing]
Wanna borrow my phone to take pics of everything? I'd rather you didn't steal anything from Beauty - if we just ask, I'm sure he'll share!
no subject
[he doesn't need your camera, useless binch.
he'll flip through the books on the bookcase next??]
no subject
Ray, meanwhile, will find that the books are a mixture of French and Japanese even if he doesn't recognize the languages themselves. It's a variety of fictional stories, language books, some school books, some history books, romance novels, manga…it's a mish-mash of stuff. The journals appear to be studies on various time periods and cultures as well.]
no subject
Antoinette! Ray-kun, this is Antoinette!
[this is vITALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION????
senri will try to escape from underneath her after a second though, even if he's kissing her face the entire way because holy fuck he loves dogs.]
Antoinette, wanna show me around? Is there something important here?
[clEARLY ANTOINETTE IS THEIR HOST]
no subject
[he's just. going to go through everything on the bed and also the flower vases, but he'll be nice enough to put everything back where they belong and re-make the bed.]

[HE WUNNIN TO FOLLOW AFTER ANTOINETTE - and he's just going to
sigh deeply when he actually seems to be hit by how luxurious everything is
ray might hear him, since he's not closing the bathroom door]
Rich people....
no subject
anyway, ray will investigate the chaise next, and then head to the closet.]
no subject
Ray meanwhile will find the chaise also in immaculate condition except for a small blanket thrown over the back of it. The closet is full of designer clothes for a tall and thin male. And also a designer shirt that looks like something Majima would imagine. ]
no subject
Something here, darling?
[he'll reach up to press his fingers lightly to the mirror surface??]
no subject
in any case, he's going to look at the picture frame on the nightstand.]
no subject
Ray, meanwhile, will see that the framed photo is of a young beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes and delicate features. There's something warped about the photo though since it's clear by the smudge there's supposed to be a smaller figure in the photo as well.
I hope Ray hates this and Senri's having a great time.]
no subject
senri is squinting???? he's going to knock gently on the mirror because antoinette keeps whining on it, but otherwise he'll just pet her and peer out the bathroom]
Find anything, Ray-kun?
Antoinette keeps whining at this mirror and I can't figure out how to give her what she wants.
no subject
ray will quickly check the back of the portraits hanging on the wall before he looks to the bathroom.]
Nothing useful.
[he heads into the bathroom. after a pause, he tries hitting the mirror?? like, not hard enough to break it, but.]
no subject
Ray enters the bathroom and while pushing on it did nothing, hitting it elicits a hollow-ish sound. Seems like there's something back there they can't have access to!
Antoinette barks at Ray though.]
no subject
Senri will immediately kneel down next to Antoinette and wrap his arms around her, scratching behind her ears to settle her.]
There there, honey! He's not trying to hurt anything.
[a glance back to ray]
.... what should we do...?
Do you think he'll answer if I just ask him what's up with that?
no subject
You can try that.
no subject
The mirror doesn't give way though. Looks like that's a mystery for another day.
Since they didn't light anything on fire, they can also leave pretty easily. Good job.]
no subject
[he'll kiss antoinette back a few times though because he loves this dog]
If that's all, we can probably get going. Bakaomi and Sasuke-kun already knew I was coming here, so you can probably tell them if you want.
[so they can want to die over how hard their adventure was in comparison]
no subject
[he'll be moving to leave, then.]
no subject
Bye boys.]
