[Inside one of the cabinets in the closet, Yu will find a wooden box small enough to fit into the palm of his hand. It's hinged, and has red markings on the lid.

As for Connor, he might see the remote on a bedside table if he glances into the bedroom area.]

[covenantal]

[ HEY QUICK QUESTION WHY IS BRITT LIKE THIS?

ANYWAY I GUESS YU HAS THE FUCKING KWAMI BOX IN HIS HANDS WHEN CONNOR REJOINS HIM. He hasn't opened it yet, but he'll hold it up for Connor to take a look at. ]

Only this. It was hidden in the closet. Not sure what it is.

[tootsiepop]

[Hmmmm... He takes a look at the box when Yu holds it up for him, brows furrowed as he fails to recognize what it is as well.]

... Perhaps we should take it with us. [Something he would normally never suggest, since it's kind of disrespectful, but.] If it belongs to a god, it must be something important.

[divus]

[The box sits there in Yu's hands as they decide what to do.]

[covenantal]

[ He looks surprised at the suggestion, and then frowns thoughtfully. ]

If we do, and Ambition finds out, I don't think we'll like what happens. Should we try and see what's inside?

[tootsiepop]

Two members of our group stole Disorder's delicates and lived to tell the tale.

[Just! Saying! They'll be fine, maybe. Connor thinks about it for a second, though, before he shakes his head.]

I would like to finish taking a look around the penthouse first, if it's all the same to you. [Inclining his head towards the bedroom, hello.] There's also the matter of recovering my pin.

[He doesn't trust that opening a mysterious box won't trip Ambition's bee senses or something.]

[divus]

[The box continues to sit in Yu's hands, unopened.]

[covenantal]

[ Yu will nod. ]

Agreed. Let's finish up in here.

[ since the MOD META IS BULLYING US, let's move on. Given he's now holding a box AND a sword, Yu's got a lot to juggle, but he'll lead them both into the bedroom. What's in here to poke around, eh? ]

[tootsiepop]

[Into the bedroom, they go!

Connor will head for the bedside table where he spotted the remote, wanting to check it out. Still, he'll shoot a glance at Yu when he sees him jugglin'.]

Do you want me to carry the box for you? Both of my hands are free.

[divus]

[The bed is piled up with comfortable-looking pillows and blankets, and also a plush ladybug. The remote is on the bedside table and looks like a standard universal remote, and the bedside table itself has a drawer that can be pulled open.

Other than that, the decorations in here are high-class and elegant looking. There isn't much clutter lying around.]

[covenantal]

Please. [ With some relief, he'll pass the box to Connor. Now that he's got a hand free again, let's make a BEEline (hahahaha) for the bedside drawer. Are we going to regret opening it? Let's find out! ]

[tootsiepop]

[He takes the box from Yu's hand, right before grabbing the remote and carefully tucking both into his pockets. Either way, he'll allow him to open up the bedside drawer. What's in there?]

[divus]

[The bedside drawer has a diary in it.

The diary has a lock on it. Are these kleptos taking it, too?]

[covenantal]

[ lOOK?

Look. Yu will at least lift it out? But. Icon, basically. ]

... this seems like a personal journal. We should probably just leave it.

[tootsiepop]

[Squinting. At the journal. What kind of lock does it have on it? Is it like, the kind of tiny lock that would come included with kid/young teen journals or something a little more complex?]

You're not curious?

[divus]

[It's the tiny kind of lock, you kleptomaniac.]

[covenantal]

[ NNNNNNNNNNNN

Yu looks ... uncertain. ]

... I can't deny we might find out something useful, but these are her personal thoughts.

[ He looks down at the diary. ]

It doesn't feel right.

[ BUT TAKING HER OTHER SHIT DOES, YOU MORALLY SELECTIVE GARBAGE PERSON? ]

[tootsiepop]

We've already broken into her personal quarters. Gaining additional insight on her thought process won't make matters worse.

[He's already glancing around the bedroom just in case there's something small and thin he can use as a makeshift lockpick. If there isn't anything, though, he'll head back to the walk-in closet in order to continue his search.]

We will put it back where we found it once we're done. I promise.

[Throw all your morals to the ground. Read the diary, Yu.]

[divus]

[There's a vanity with a mirror on one side of the room! If he looks through there he'll find some bobby pins he may be able to use to pick the lock.]

[covenantal]

[ ... a sigh. He'll shut the drawer and keep the diary in hand. Let's just be the worst, I GUESS. ]

Alright. But I'd prefer we didn't take it with us.

[ Find a bobby pin, Connor, and he'll let you unlock the diary. ]

[tootsiepop]

We won't. Be at ease.

[He'll take a bobby pin from the vanity (after making sure there's nothing else of interest there), and nyoom right back to Yu so he can try to pick the lock. Will he be successful?]

[divus]

[He sure will! It looks like she has been writing in here consistently - there are six full weeks of entries, and two entries for week seven so far.

Which week's entries will they look at first?]

[covenantal]

[ Honestly, Yu doesn't have a particular place he wants to start, aside from maybe week 6 itself. He'll glance at Connor. ]

[tootsiepop]

[...

Yeah, Connor isn't even going to ask for Yu's opinion on this. For whatever reason it may be, he immediately flips the pages until he finds the entries for week five.]

[divus]

[it looks like she wrote a lot during week 5!

which day is he looking for an entry on]
