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. ]
the rod itself is still steady! it's just the curtain itself that's having issues. looking at it, it looks more like they're...kinda torn? there's a little bit of damage to them, especially at the top which is causing them not to stay on entirely well now that they've been repositioned.
meanwhile, cloud looks at the piles of clothes and unpiles them to find that some of them are like. socks. some of them are longer pajama pants. some of them are t-shirts and the button-ups which are a little stiff like they weren't actually worn for very long. why are they on the floor. where is the laundry basket.]
[Yeah... She gives Cloud a sympathetic look before looking back to the curtains.
What kind of damage? She'll take off her shoes and stand up on the window seat to get a closer look. Does it look like it was pulled, or did something rip into it?]
anyway. that's a great question. where IS the laundry basket. clothes thoroughly looked at, cloud is going to lift the little steel warrior on the fireplace mantel to look at it curiously before putting it back. then he'll go check out the other non-closet door, which is allegedly a bathroom. ]
[now that estelle is standing on the window seat, she can get a better look. it looks like a combination of both? like something ripped into it and pulled down, making it looser. there are little tears near the top where the rod would thread through, and longer tears beneath that. it's only on the one curtain though.
who knows. the laundry basket is elsewhere. anyway, cloud picks up the steel warrior and puts it down in an indent. a new door opens for a crawlspace through the fireplace.
i'm kidding, but would that be wild or what. in all seriousness it doesn't do much but the figure it kind of bulky and a little heavy.
cloud wanders into the bathroom. it looks...kind of messy. there are a few small puddles of water on the countertop, and there's a towel on the floor. the shower curtain is half-open but there are puddles of water inside the shower itself, too. cloud can see there are starlight-brand shampoos and stuff in there. on the counter itself there isn't much besides a box of tissues, a smaller hand towel that's slightly damp and crumpled, a tube of starlight toothpaste and a toothbrush, and a little glob of toothpaste still in the sink.
also there is a laundry basket that is. absolutely empty.]
[ DON'T JOKE LIKE THAT I WAS WILLING TO BELIEVE IT ]
What a mess... What's the point of a laundry basket if you don't use it?
[ this bathroom was meant to trigger me specifically about the fanime hotel stay and how there was always fucking water everywhere in the bathroom.
i'm guessing there's nothing in the cabinets/drawers if there are any in this bathroom but he'll still give them a quick glance through just in case. also check the ceiling here just in case. ]
[they may appear slightly claw-like, yes. estelle is very thorough in investigating, and as she's feeling around the window seat she will find what looks like a pair of star-shaped sunglasses. given they're kind of just crammed in there, it's likely they weren't hidden on purpose. she just has these now. she will also find another dog toy, and a pen.
so nothing too exciting.
there's nothing really of note in the bathroom cabinets or drawers outside of standard toiletries and stuff. no secrets for cloud. there's also nothing on the ceiling, so that's helpful.
Yeah. They've got everything for a dog, but... I don't think a dog can climb curtains. Not a normal one anyway.
[ hmm. mysterious. speaking of mysterious, is there anything under or on the king size bed. what if he moves the pillows. anything under there. blankets?? it's already unmade he's doing his best ]
[estelle is now very stylish and adorable. i love her. the sunglasses are also comfy. she's also a very good girl and puts everything back the way it was, wandering to the bookcases. there's nothing really of note, though all of the books appear to be subjects about law, travel, etc. they're similar to the books in her room where they can't really be identified though because...hotel.
while this is going on, cloud looks under the bed and finds a.) a few snack wrappers and stray socks, b.) a paper airplane that's been abandoned, and c.) a bunch of dust.
the bed has so many pillows. and also blankets. it is actually a giant lump of blankets that have kind of been made to look somewhat neat. as he's moving them around though...
