[...finding his own scent first whatzat why am i here]

With some searching, he can find a slightly raggedy stuffed cartoony hyena. There's a symbol tied around its neck with a strip of ribbon in Bugbear's signature dark teal blue.

Picking it up is an immediate warmly fond feeling, like the sensation of a lingering hug, though the longer he holds it, the more it intensifies and clarifies: something that is warmer and fonder than might be expected, a little amused, a little rueful, but certainly sincere.

[dropping it

oh no oh no oh no]

When he drops it, it triggers the purring mechanism.

It's one of those toys that purrs when you squeeze it. This is important.

[fuck

laughs at that. everyone loves the purrs. tucking his lil plush self back where it was, instead rooting around to try to find anything important....traces of Ritz....or maybe Da Vinci in a pinch?

Or maybe something that stands out and doesn't fit in?]

The main thing that doesn't look like it belongs--which let's just say is pretty wild, in a room that is so cluttered with Stuff as this one is--is the black tentacle that is on the shelf over the bed. Of everything in this room, it's the only thing that seems to be outright malevolent.

[...goes and sniffs at it and

takes off his belt and uses that to prod at it]

It smells like death!

Or rather, it smells like a whole host of terrible things--death, certainly, but also something bitter and sharp that lingers in the back of the throat, like accumulated curses and worse.

When he prods at it, it slaps at the belt, like a cat slapping at an unwanted hand.

[slaps back at it with belt

two stupid animals]

They can have a slapfight, this is fine.

At some point while it's fighting him and his belt, he can catch the glimpse of something gold hidden among its coils.

[tactic change

going to try to entrap this fucker with the belt]

THINK SMARTER NOT HARDER.

He will have to work with it a bit--the tentacle does NOT want to be caught up and it's quite strong for its small size, but it's only one, and it's trying very hard to protect whatever it's hiding.

[pauses for a second, reaching into pocket

trying to lasso this fuckaroo while with his free hand throwing gumdrops at it at random intervals]

Oh my god Ruggie.

The gumdrops confuse the thing so much that it freezes up, which means he can, in fact, lasso it. Congratulations.

[got u, asshole!!

tightening the belt on it, trying to yoink it so whatever it's holding comes loose]

It makes an annoyed squealing noise as he pulls it free: a gold ring, heavy, glittering in the air as it spins.

...!

[GRABBING FOR IT]

Her ring...!

It's a nice solidly heavy weight in his hand.

Weirdly enough, though, holding it feels a lot like it felt to be around the Beast, when he'd spoken to him.

...

[taps it, looks through it, poke poke]

It's a normal gold ring. There isn't even fancy script on it like a Tolkien knockoff.

But when he looks through it, he can see the outline of a door on the wall... but when he looks out of the ring, the door is gone.

Oh...

[goes to open the door, looking through as he does]

It takes a bit of fumbling, since he has to be looking through the ring, or else the door disappears, but eventually it opens.
