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...
Makes sense. I know I wouldn't clean a coworkers' room in their place. [ but yeah! that squeak. he looks back at her ] Think we found the dog?
[ well, it's a cute squeak. it's probably fine. cloud is ignoring that most animals don't like him on sight and is going to free the squeaking from the bed cover nest by just. pull them off or something. squeak?? squeak hello??? ]
double-unfortunately, it's a very squeaky friend who upon being freed realizes there are two people. it squeaks again, and it bounces its way across the mattress before there's a flying leap at both of them.
it's a large animal. i truly do not know if one of you will catch it or you will both be knocked over.]
[ oh my god? cloud moved by reflex of anything bouncing towards him but he's staring at the thing as it probably proceeds to lick the heck out of Estelle for a bit before he snaps out of it and bends down to pull it off ]
Woah, okay. C'mon, come here, she can't hold you up. [ why does he have muscles? to hold big dogs ]
[it does, in fact, proceed to lick the heck out of estelle. its dumb little tail is trying to wag so hard? it's busy squeaking and showering her with affection before cloud moves to pull it off.
at which point, the puppycat turns in cloud's arms to try and lick the heck out of him instead with happy, friendly squeaks. hello!]
[ I would let Estelle get mauled if you wanted it pazu <3
Cloud is immediately spluttering and being licked, but it's affection week so. yeah the good boy does get some pets as he tries to at least put him on the bed so they can both pet him more easily. LOOK. affection. pet the damn dog. cat. thing. ]
I don't know about a dog, but it's definitely a pet. [ he seems pretty sure of that, scratching under the chin. this is now me playing dream drop distance. ] And I... I've seen something like it before.
[stop using my puppycat to maul. anyway cloud manages to put the thing on the bed so they can both pet it. it wobbles, flopping on its back to roll over. pet the tum.
it truly does not seem disturbed, so it's fine. this is just a tag to say you can pet the dog thing and decide what to do from there.]
