[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.]
... A friend had one like it for a bit. In the Realm.
[ cloud you don't have to be this vague? but he's petting the tummy to distract the good boy while Estelle finishes looking around. he'll do his own round quick look after but it feels cruel to abandon the catdog after freeing it??? (this is affection week talking) ]
... Probably has to be stuck in this room all day. [ hmmmm. ] You look through the whole closet?
[ what if there's a secret door deeper in the closet. ]
[the good boy does whatever he wants which is slobber on cloud's hand and continue to squeak affectionately with the pets.
estelle doesn't really see anything noteworthy about the table or anything around it! the chess set, however, has red pieces and blue pieces rather than the traditional black and white.
there really isn't much else to look at it, it seems.]
It's probably not necessary. [ he says it with a look at the puppy at, but he will go over to the closet to go look at the back/bottom of it to see if there was anything. ]
[estelle can hang with puppycat while cloud goes to be nosy and look at their underwear.
but okay in all seriousness, cloud goes back to the closet and starts looking around at the back and the bottom.
he finds a small collection of shorts, hoodies, tank tops and some sneakers.
...soon...the puppycat settles down, wobbling a little to go back to its blanket nest even as it licks estelle's face and hands again. the two of them get the sense that perhaps they should go before someone else comes back.]
Let's try to leave everything the way we found it, okay?
[She'll head over to the light switch to turn it off when they leave. She'll make sure the door's locked behind them, too. Actually, does she get to keep this key?]

... Then she puts it all back and tries to carefully close the curtains, trying not to tug on the torn part any more than it already has been.]
It looks like something with claws tore this curtain...
... Actually, should there be a dog here? I don't remember seeing one around the hotel, but there are all these dog toys...

Freed by Cloud, Estelle climbs back up to her feet and looks over the creature with bright, curious eyes.]
Is this a dog...?
[She'll reach out and pet it. Regardless of the answer to that question, the only real answer is to pet the cute thing.]
I'm sorry for disturbing you... [It doesn't seem that bothered, but it's only polite to apologize. They are intruders, after all.]
