it's kind of dark inside though? light spills in from the hallway, but it's not enough to actively see what the room itself looks like. there are vague shapes they can make out, but no details as of yet. they can also tell it's about the size of a standard hotel room though. similar to theirs.]
[ he hasn't yet stepped in the room himself, looking and frowning ]
When Harrow and I went through the security room, we turned on the lamp and the shadows noticed us. There's no telling if it'll work the same here or not, but...
[estelle is going to feel around on the wall, and she will in fact find a light switch!
all of the shadows immediately swarm and kill them.
just kidding, they don't do that.
when the lights come on, they'll find that they're a soft kind of glowing low-light, enough to see and be comfortable without being overwhelmingly bright. at a first glance around the room, they will see a few things. first of all, the walls are dark and the floors are made of a dark wood. the accent colors are very rich and deep (burgundies, creams, etc.) there's a king-sized bed that doesn't exactly look like it was made properly. there's a window with a windowseat, curtains closed. two large bookcases crammed with books flank each side of the window as well. the room has a fireplace and a plush reading chair, a small table to the side of it. there's also a large executive desk that matches the other furniture in the room with a bouquet of flowers on it, along with a few other items.
there are two other doors, probably a bathroom and a closet. likewise, there's another separate table upon which sits a chess set.
there are also a few items kind of scattered in various corners and on the walls in places.
[ nothing happened so honestly, he'll just step in to look at stuff. ]
Might be. Hope you're comfortable snooping.
[ he sure is! he's going to start with looking at the desk to see what the items are and also what kind of flowers is this bouquet. snoop snoop! fuck privacy!!! ]
estelle is free to wander where she'd like to! cloud is going to go snoop over at the desk. the obvious thing is the same kind of typewriter that the guests have. that's sitting there, and there's also what appears to be a laptop that's sitting closed and in a corner of the desk. there are papers in a messy sort of pile. there also appears to be two books stacked on top of each other next to the typewriter itself. a garbage can is under the desk, and the chair is a comfy, leather office chair.
the flowers are kind of tall and willow-y, purple in color, but there are a few fresh sunflowers in the vase, too.]
They've been here recently enough, so let's try to do this quick.
[ he's guessing based on the fresh sunflowers, anyway. what are the books about next to the typewriter, is there anything in the garbage can and what are the papers in the pile!!!
the laptop can wait until next tag so i can get cucked by a password thanks ]
[as estelle looks around, she'll actually be able to get a better view of the room and see there's a nightstand by the bed with a few things on it. there's also a small kind of shelving unit with some trinkets on it. the closet door is partially open, but as she looks on the floor she'll find that there appear to be...clothes? a t-shirt and a pair of long shorts that may very well be pajamas.
on the walls, she'll find a few framed awards. they appear very prestigious even if she can't actually read them. something notable, however, is a watercolor of what looks like alphinaud's carbuncle.
at the desk, cloud continues to be nosy. when he looks at the books, he will find that one of them is a copy of law for dummies. the other is a dictionary. looking inside the garbage like a weirdo, he'll find a few empty c*ke cans, papers, and a stray ice cream wrapper.
as for the papers in the pile...they appear to be a log of the proceedings of the past trials. i am not detailing them. you guys were there.]
[ hm. interesting. and also interesting on the law for dummies and the trials. i flipped a coin on whether he'd try to see if anything is written on the papers in the trash can and got a no which i am attributing to the fact that there's probably ice cream and leftover soda in there at this point. anyway, he opens the laptop just to see. does it even look used.
[it is a very nice painting. it's been hung up separated from the awards and obviously with some care.
on the nightstand itself there is a small star-shaped alarm clock. it reflects the current time. i don't know what time that is, it's whenever you decided to break into this room. there is a book of constellations, and on top of it is a handmade gift. there's also a glass of water that's half-full with a silly straw in it, and a stray pin.
the shelving unit itself contain a few random things. namely, there's a whole bunch of books that sort of look like they were just shoved in there for lack of anything else. there's a copy of the shining, a book of anatomy, a book about organization, something called tusk love that estelle probably shouldn't open and is buried at the bottom, etc. there's a sticky hand and the picture frame hint from the alphinaud trial, but it's face down and sort of also shoved in there. on the top shelf of the unit there's a little stack of polaroids, and some paper flowers, along with what looks like a necklace from the costume closet and a weird black, sort of glittery rock.
above the shelving unit there are a few drawings taped to the wall: two stick figures holding hands, a chicken, and a giraffe.
cloud does not get to perceive any garbage papers. instead, he opens the laptop and it's a password lock. it looks like someone has used the keyboard, but unless he can divine a password he isn't getting in there.
she goes to peek in the closet! there appears to be...a lot of button-down shirts, vests, slacks, and waistcoats hanging up in those same dark colors in the first row. there are a few blazers as well. there appear to be other rows of clothing behind these. likewise, there are some black dress shoes at the bottom of the closet but there are other rows beyond these as well.
cloud opens the drawers and finds
snacks. they appear to be kind of strange, bright-colored cookies. there's some candy stowed away as well along with things like crackers, dried fruit, etc. there are various office supplies, some boxes of tea that have not been opened, and what look like a few dog toys.]
These clothes look like they could belong to a stylish gentleman...
[She says, then suddenly becomes aware of the fact that she's peeking into somebody's closet to see what they wear, and... puts the closet door back the way she found it and walks away, face slightly red.
... she'll go look at the window instead! Opening the curtains, what does she see?]
[ ... he grabs a dog toy to see if it goes squeak squeak. he puts it back after. ]
Kind of the only thing that seems like a stylish gentleman about this place. [ both dubious and pensive at once. anyway he's going to close everything back and abandon this desk, going to check out the table next to the chair in front of the fireplace to see if there's anything on there. or like, on the fireplace mantle.
estelle is looking through stuff so shyly he is also about to go check behind her to snoop properly. it's like your jrpg does not have constant exploring for treasure chests estelle!! come on!!!! THE LOOT: ]
Make sure you check everything thoroughly. I know it's invasive, but we're here for a reason. Might as well find it.
[it does, in fact, go squeak squeak. thanks cloud. away it goes.
the table next to the chair by the fire has a few more of those cookies on it. there's a notepad and pen, but nothing appears to be written on them. the fireplace mantle doesn't really have anything exciting on it except for a weird-looking action figure? some...steel warrior thing. it is on display and out of the way.
there are a few dog toys over by the chair as well, and what appears to be a dog bed tucked by the chair and near the window.
there's also a few more clothes on the floor, but kind of in slightly organized piles. watch your step!
opening the window, they will see what appears to be a lovely park. there are trees outside, just a gentle amount of sunshine and green grass. it is all fake obviously because all of the windows are just projections, but you know.
i suppose i should also mention now that estelle has opened the curtains, it seems they aren't quite supported on the rod anymore because one of them starts to slide off and sag.]
[ wow a steel warrior. cloud looks at it quizzically. before he can look at anything else or gesture to all the garbage on the ground and go "is this sophisticated"-- ]
Estelle--!
[ PEOPLE WHO DIED FROM CURTAINS ARE IN FACT IN THIS ROOM. but she's fine and he relaxes, pretending he didn't have a full blown ptsd moment about a curtain rod.
ANYWAY WOW WHAT ARE THESE PILES OF CLOTHES LIKE. he is going to unpile them to check but then put them back in the pile after, he's not ransacking, he's snooping. ]

does estelle try to unlock the door? or is cloud just going to cut it down. out of impatience eventually?]

[She'll try and unlock it... and given the fact that we got this whole log started, I'm guessing it will work.

Let's see if there's a light switch or a lamp...

When Harrow and I went through the security room, we turned on the lamp and the shadows noticed us. There's no telling if it'll work the same here or not, but...

Oh. Well.]
