[there is in fact a light switch on the wall near the door! it's easier to see the room now.
the bed, now that they can see it in the light, is ostentatiously large and has a gaudy gold frame. the blankets are green and made of a material that would probably look elegant in moderation, but with everything else, it's a bit much.
the statue at the foot of the bed is made of stone, and depicts a familiar-looking kneeling figure in robes. its face is downcast, and it's in a pose that is almost reminiscent of a dog with its tail between its legs. how humiliating.
there are ropes hanging down from the ceiling, the edges of them discolored and frayed. beneath them on the ground, there's discoloration - a deep, dark brownish-reddish color, like something splattered there unpleasantly a long time ago, barely visible through the dust. they'll also see ... tiny pawprints in the dust? huh. weird.
on one side of the room, there is a long dining table, jaded utensils and golden goblets, and a large, oversized chair that looks almost like a throne. there is an enormous steel cauldron a ways away, but no fire beneath it.
on the other side of the room, there is another door.
the dust seems pretty old. definitely at least the number of weeks they've been in the hotel - perhaps a little more than that.]
… This must also be a room fit to someone’s taste. A light switch doesn’t fit the gaudy aesthetic.
[ Dokja may hold a hand which Joonghyuk takes without complaint. It’s a firm, solid handholding in this dusty ass room today.
Niah will sniff the puddle. This is blood??? Not like he can tell anyone if it is, but Joonghyuk will come over to see if it’s how blood naturally stains flooring. Eventually, Niah follows the trail of smaller paw prints.
Dokja can look at the statue or elsewhere if he wants. ]
You judge everyone's room, no matter how it looks. [ ... ] It is a bit gaudy though.
Any guesses on whose?
[ hei and I looking at each other like Well.
anyways, Dokja will crouch down to see if he can get a peek at the statue's face. while still trying to hold onto Joonghyuk with that solid grip idk. if he can't find a face to peek he will glance under the bed after.
Jin will peek a little under the bed as well but she will opt to follow Niah after the paw prints. Whomst..? ]
[niah's nose will in fact tell her that it is extremely dusty dried blood. yikes. joonghyuk will in fact be able to tell that it's consistent with how blood stains clothing!
the print trail is hard to follow - they're scattered all around the room, and it's all the same size. but one set of them does rather distinctly go toward the closet, which niah is welcome to follow. jin, peeking under the bed, will see the sleeping form of something small, curled up in a ball, but - she's following niah to the closet, so she doesn't get a good look.
the statue's face is very familiar to him. very princely looking, despite how humiliating the statue's pose is. i don't want to tell you who it is i want you to guess.]
I have a guess, only because there are small paw prints here and there, but nothing I can confirm. [ For now. also: ] It’s blood.
[ is the statue Xie Lian in a Hua Cheng’s favorite doggy style pose
Joonghyuk CAN’T follow to the closet while they’re holding hands, so he temporarily unlinks them… I am sorry. Exploring is more important, though now he feels nervous—which makes him hate the weekly effects more. May this place crumble one day.
Well, I can just tell you since I can see their face. But I'll let you guess first. [ is this statue qi rong, mods just tell me it's qi rong ] I have to assume the blood belongs to them.
[ if sisi doesn't kill hei first I WILL, FOR WRITING OUT THAT SENTENCE RIGHT THERE.
oh, Dokja also does not like the feeling of their hands being unlinked. but he'll stay here and not go following after like a sad puppy. he's [REDACTED] years old or something he isn't a child. though it's fine because Jin, belatedly as her brain buffers, realizes something WAS under the bed and goes trotting on back to help Dokja since Joonghyuk is with Niah now.
Jin will press to the floor and try to scoot under the bed to gingerly try and paw the sleeping form out. very very gently. Dokja will turn his attention to what Jin is doing with a squint that you give your cat when you think they're probably eating something they aren't supposed to eat. ]
[to the closet! joonghyuk opens it up. it's got a variety of green robes in it, but it smells kind of musty in here, too, as if the closet door has not been opened up in about five weeks or so. the dust in here is a little more settled; there are faint impressions of pawprints, but more dust has settled over them and so they're slightly obscured.
the statue is not qi rong! qi rong would never kneel in such a humiliating position. but the face looks very similar to qi rong's. hmm.
jin, pawing at the sleeping form, will be able to unearth... a weasel! it is curled around a dead rat, which is half-eaten.
unfortunately, the motion wakes it up.
and the weasel immediately hisses and launches at jin as if it's going to try to fight her.]
[ So it is Xie Lian in doggy style position. Joonghyuk will come back after closing the closet to see the statue, then look around the room then back to the statue. ]
It's Xie Lian. [ The statue, he means. Niah also returns, but at the sound of a hiss he snarls loudly— ] Don't eat it. You don't know where it has been.
[ He goes back to exploring! Is the dining table also looking like it hasn't been used in a while? Is there BLOOD here, too? What about the cauldron? ]
If we don't find anything interesting, we should look at the other door.
[ listen i wanted to avoid saying xie lian because that is my friend and makes me want to fight qr with every ounce of my being of having a statue of him like this. though, this makes me glad i didn't bring hc instead of yjh. i can only imagine the kind of damage hc would do.
Jin responds to the aggressive launch with a loud rippling snarl and bare of her fangs. however, the white nine-tailed fox does not fight, but rather pounces with her front paws to squish and pin the weasel in place. CEASE. if Jin isn't able to catch it so easily, Dokja will help and try to grab it too. even if he'd rather avoid touching it. daemon on the mind. ]
She won't eat it. [ he hopes, he gives her a look though just to make sure. ]
Alright. [ he'll push to a stand. ] So, what? They were brought here like us, with suite rooms of their own, and became staff? This room has been untouched for a while now.
[ has this weasel just been scraping by on rats... not everyone cares for their daemons but damb. ]
[imagine if their daemons ate this weasel. wouldn't that be wild.
anyway! the dining room table does in fact have a layer of dust consistent with the rest of the room on it, as do the utensils and goblets. there are bloodstains on the table, too, and a few scraps of some extremely questionable-looking meat left on a plate.
the cauldron is empty, but there are dark stains on the inside of it. also some dried bits of something necrotic stuck to the sides. someone doesn't know how to do their dishes.
the weasel, meanwhile, struggles wildly under jin's paws but is too small to break free. it makes a swipe at her paw with one of its paws and hisses a lot, probably spouting weaselly curses in whatever way weasels communicate.
it is looking rather lean, like it hasn't been fed consistently over the last couple of weeks.]
I was talking to Niah, too. [ Niah looking huffy. ] That seems to be the case. I didn't expect them to have their own suites, however.
[ To be honest, if the meat was substantial enough, Joonghyuk would steal it, but scraps are not enough. Niah will sniff the weasel, but at a safe distance. It is familiar?
Joonghyuk will go to the other door in the room then. ]
It must mean this door leads to another staff member's room, shared by a bathroom.
[ i don't want to know what that means for qr if the daemons eat the weasel. (he gets vored.)
Dokja eyes the weasel, putting two and two together. the consistency of the dust, room and weasel's appearance. ]
It was likely forgotten here, which with the state of the room.. [ matches up. ] You still have some treats on you?
[ at least give it something that isn't a dead rat for it to nom on so it isn't hissing and squeaking so offendedly. Jin just watches the weasel with a tilt of her head, using her paws to turn it over onto its tummy so she can quickly wrap her muzzle around its back to carry the weasel like a pup. this is her toy now.
Dokja will follow Joonghyuk to the other door, humming with thought. ]
If that's the case, we probably won't be able to explore the other room. I only have this one key.
[niah and jin will in fact find the weasel familiar. haha.
the weasel continues hissing as jin does her thing, flailing around pathetically where it hangs from her muzzle. it will not be able to break free.
the door is ... not locked, actually! it opens up and they are immediately hit with a terrible stench that smells like, well, corpse and blood. the next room is much smaller and has a table on it where there are obvious bloodstains all over. a counter along one side has a variety of bowls - there's a rancid smell coming from them, even from the distance they're at. there's the glint of metal when the light hits something else on the counter, and on the far side of the room, a cabinet.
[ YOO JOONGHYUK.... HELP. that's fair. that stench is so rancid.
Jin drools just a little at the sound of treats though, with weasel in her mouth, rip. but when Dokja takes a snack made for the daemons and he offers it to the weasel instead. if he gets bit in the process, it's fine. take the treat you stinky lil guy and stop your hissing.
with that done, he gestures for Jin to stay so she will lounge in the current room and keep the weasel with her. no wandering into the smelly room.
... he will regret it but, he'll cover his nose as he opens up the door again and enter the room. the smell of blood and corpses isn't all that new to them. feels having your world go into apocalyptic ruin. still, not a pleasant smell and god it's so gross, but he'll check out the counter first for that glint of metal. is this a knife? ]
[the weasel struggles even more at the feeling of drool GROSSLY GETTING ON ITS FUR. icky!! icky!!!! ...but it calms a little bit when dokja offers it a treat. chomp, chomp.
dokja sure is dealing with some gross shit here.
the glint of metal is in fact a knife! an old-fashioned butcher's knife. it's got dried gore on the blade.
it is also dusty as fuck in here i can't remember if i said that and im too lazy to parent up]
[ Jin and the weasel will stay in the other room, so we shall focus on this room so i don't force the mod to rp the weasel more for now
Dokja stares tiredly at the butcher's knife with its bits of nasty gore. he is not surprised at all. ]
Qi Rong, obviously.
[ he'll look around while Joonghyuk checks the cabinet, does anything else stand out? is this actually a shared bathroom or is this some other room connecting to the main one. ]
[the cabinet contains a variety of little bottles! soy sauce, vinegar, salt, cumin, coriander, black pepper, crushed red pepper... there's also a few loose lemons in here. they've been in here so long that they've gone moldy. ick.
underneath joonghyuk's foot, there is a postcard, which he'll notice sticking under his shoe when he looks down.
niah, nosing around, will nudge aside something small stuck on the ground - about the same size and shape as a postcard.
kim dokja, looking around as well, will find... two postcards, scattered on the floor!
all four of them are coated in a layer of dust consistent with the amount in the outer room.
the room doesn't look like its' a shared bathroom. it's just an attached room.]
[ Closes the cabinet doors. GROSS. A postcard, though? He picks it up and gently dusts it off. What's on it? Niah will not bring it over because he knows it's dusty, so he waits for Joonghyuk to also come over since the wolf is just staring at him so long.
He goes over to pick that on up, too. What are on these two cards? ]
[ squints at the images. kito is that you. he'll do the same as yjh and turn them around to look at their other side as he dusts them off as well. anything written? ]
1 They're like furniture + wedding 2 No one remembers if they're not here too 3 I can tell no tales 4 [there's a bit here that's smudged out] --------
[his second reads:]
i killed -- -- --- ------. did not want to. canterbury bells & cp heliotropes + pink/white roses together. happy endings. we will return. --
[dokja's first postcard reads:]
All gold here. I'm sorry for breaking our promise. Tell ---- sorry too. You aren't alone in this—I believe in you. --------
[his second reads:]
gold is good applied to us + --------, not -- yet sorry i couldn't stay working hard: see you soon. cheiranthus pink camellia red roses - --
[they are both an appropriate amount of dusty for how the sides with writing on them were in direct contact with the floor before the dust settled over them.]
If that's the case, maybe I should revert to my earlier changes.
[ you brat. he'll look over Joonghyuk's in turn. ]
Hm. A lot of mention of flowers. ..What are these even doing in here?
[ he'll put all four postcards together so they're in a neat stack. ew, leave the gorey knife alone. jk he won't scold him, steal away. he'll give one last look around for anything else as well. ]
[the knife does not come up from the counter. it's like, caked in on there. too much gore that never got wiped off and now it's stuck. no stealing potential murder weapons on breakins sorry.
they are free to return to the other room - nothing else looks out of place in this room which is clearly made for making jerky.]
[ after yjh is done writing it down, assuming we cannot keep postcards, he'll glance over to the statue.
... ] Yeah. I don't really want to risk Hua Cheng finding it.
[ could they potentially use the cauldron to beat down this statue? he'll look around for anything else that might help but.
Jin growls anytime the weasel starts to flail, only quietening when the creature resumes eating snacks. ]
What about his daemon? I feel like if we leave it in here, it might starve to death. [ eyes it. i'm gonna assume they just can't keep it so ] We could probably return it to Qi Rong but.
[ not sure how that's gonna play out. guess they already got and learned what they could so it's probably fine if they find out they snooped already. but if its fate must be unknown mods can always have it slip out of jin's grasp. ]
the cauldron is there! it's big. it's heavy looking. if you actually have them try to use the cauldron and bash the statue with it i will tell you what happens.
the weasel continues to snack and flail but does not slip out of jin's grasp. you can do whatever you'd like with it as long as you don't kill it.]
That guy is crazy enough without this statue existing.
[ Simp King. Also, we would never kill an animal this weasel is ours(?)
More like Dokja’s. Every time the weasel flails, Niah hovers of it and watches. ]
If that’s what you want to do.
[ He won’t stop Dokja from wanting to return the weasel? If the cauldron weighs less than the statue, then they can use the cauldron… If it’s that the statue weighs less, then maybe the other way around??
Point is they’re going to try to break the statue, if possible. ]
You can't blame him what with the hostage situation.
[ yeah we truly would not kill it. kdj has a daughter that is an avid animal lover, it is but a hungy and innocent weasel as of now so no need to kill that's f*cked up :pensive:
but yes this is ours now... until he probably returns it. he is not keeping this weasel forever. in the end when this is all over he does not want to hold onto a stinky soul. ]
Alright, so how should we do this?
[ Dokja will help Joonghyuk in any way they want to approach this, whether it is use cauldron on statue or the other way around. whatever weighs less i guess. ]

If that’s what you want to do.
[ He won’t stop Dokja from wanting to return the weasel? If the cauldron weighs less than the statue, then they can use the cauldron… If it’s that the statue weighs less, then maybe the other way around??
Point is they’re going to try to break the statue, if possible. ]

[ yeah we truly would not kill it. kdj has a daughter that is an avid animal lover, it is but a hungy and innocent weasel as of now so no need to kill that's f*cked up :pensive:
but yes this is ours now... until he probably returns it. he is not keeping this weasel forever. in the end when this is all over he does not want to hold onto a stinky soul. ]
Alright, so how should we do this?
[ Dokja will help Joonghyuk in any way they want to approach this, whether it is use cauldron on statue or the other way around. whatever weighs less i guess. ]
