Right. I'm curious about the images as well, but-- [ ye olde will control the laptop i guess. it's probably like watching your parents slowly type one key at a time, pausing to look for the next one.
[there is no order because this person's desktop organization is a huge mess, so i'm rnging which one you get first.
anyway! it's a list.]
1. Orion. Pretty to look at. 2. Cetus. Not TOO annoying... 3. Aquarius. I'm tired of puns. 4. Gemini. If I wanted to listen to a lecture, I'd still be in school. 5. Aquila. Shut up shut up shut UP. 6. Lepus. If I have to see that stupid, judgmental look one more time... 7. Virgo. Ugh. Would anyone even notice if I just drowned this idiot in the pool, do you think?
[the next file... also pretend the text in the file above was all lowercase like the one below]
mom said she'd be back this weekend, but she got stuck late at work again, so whatever. why does it matter if i accepted this job or not? i bet she won't even notice that i'm gone.
the hotel isn't too bad. it could be a lot worse. at least I'm not going to be one of the people who's actually going to have to play along with this game. i can just sit back and watch.
my coworkers are mostly annoying, though. you think if I got rid of them and did their jobs and mine, the nightman might give me another job after this for being so efficient?
[there is not because i don't want to have to come up with what it actually says if you find someone to translate it
anyway! as they're trying to open other images on the desktop... the computer glitches out, then bluescreens. it begins to restart itself, the desktop loads up, it tries to reopen the first text file -
for the first text file, it reads:
Error! File corrupted. Restore backup from [a mishmash of numbers that they will have an instinctive understanding was nine weeks ago]?
...however, it bluescreens again a few seconds later, before they can click anything.
Oh, the block is a gaming system with a name that sounds the same as like, the one French word everyone kno—
[ uhhhhhh whoops ]
.......Um, maybe wipe your fingerprints off of that just in case.
[ he will offer a clean handkerchief to do the job if needed!! let's see. he wanted to peek between the blinds and see what's out that window quick... ]
[as yuri is conceivably occupied with wiping his fingerprints while becks sneeps, sebastian will head to the window! there's not really much to see peeking between the blinds - just the light of a perpetual sunset. the light ... uh, lights up the closet whose door sebastian had closed earlier, despite how strange that would be when you consider, like. physics. it's fine.]
[ is this like, a beckoning "come back here because you missed something — love, god" light?
he will return to the closet and open it again... is there anything on like, the inside doors of it? or at the back behind the japanese clothes? is narnia back there??? ]
[sebastian goes into the closet and comes out in a cyoa, yeah. surprise, we're putting you on one two weeks in a row!
no, i'm just kidding. sebastian looks at the inside of the doors and finds a few hair accessories - some modern clips, some modern hair ties, and... these. the material looks fairly new in the image, but in this thread they're made of materials that look more like the japanese clothes - the men's kimono, hakama, and haori including the shinsengumi haori - that he saw earlier.]
oh, these are pretty. he will make note of them! and maybe do a crappy sketch to remember what they look like in case they somehow become relevant (and/or so he can maybe try to find something similar as a present for estelle someday because it is affection week and these would look very cute on her.)
should he be looking for anything else in here? anything at the bottom of the closet? anything interesting in any pockets? ]
[he could also just steal them and give them to estelle that would be funny.
there isn't anything in the pockets, but most of the japanese-style clothes don't really have pockets anyway. the bottom of the closet has a selection of modern-looking shoes, including some cute brown ankle booties, and old-fashioned sandals and tabi socks!]
[ he's not going to steal them!! he's not a criminal and even if vulpecula seems like kind of a b-word now they haven't earned his personal ire yet!!
anyway he's still totally confused by this closet but ok. has he found everything that is waiting to be found in this closet? he will check it all very closely!!
if he has exhausted all his closet options he kind of wants to look at that teddy bear on the bed to see if there's anything notable about it — cute little bear clothes or a nametag or anything? ]
anyway, i. hm. he will glance inside of them in case there's anything being stored in them or whatever, and will get a good look at the sandals but is probably not blindly sticking his hand into a dark bootie unless he sees something in it that looks like it warrants further investigation. ]
[(checks notes) the modern shoes don't look that much smaller than his - smaller, certainly, but not significantly so. the sandals, though smaller than them, aren't hugely smaller; it's a difference of maybe 1.5, 2 shoe sizes.
but as he is considering this in his foot mind palace, he'll hear a shadow portal opening up, and hear vulpecula's voice - "Oh, come on, Lepus! Don't be such a stick in the mud and hang out with me!" enough time has passed for yuri to have wiped the computer of prints.
they get the very strong feeling that they should vacate the room before someone comes through that portal. (aka you're done!)]

completely unreadable to yuri and sebastian, as it is written in fluent french in some parts and fluent italian in others.
