[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. ]

They have dust on them, so they must have been there for a long time. The flowers might be flower language.
[ Anything that should catch their interest in the main room? Can they break down the statue. ]
no subject
So likely since the last time he was in here. ..Flower language is a code of sorts to get some messages across.
[ thinks of akira's code messages. but back to the main room they go, are there any other doors other than this one and the one they came in?
Jin wags her tails as they come back, still holding the weasel like a pup that is presumedly still chomping on some provided snacks. ]
no subject
there is one door which i will save you time and tell you leads into standard-looking hotel bathroom like the ones they share with their suitemates.
the weasel is dividing its time between eating snacks and flailing about to try and make jin let it go.]

[ Are we able to pocket the postcards? If not, Joonghyuk will write the contents down.

Should we do something about this?
