[first off, then, he'll look for items with cerberus colors to gather them up. if possible, he'll sort each color into a separated pile.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

There's at least one for every team in Reverie for him to find, including a full ten for Cerberus:

A leggy hound dog, with a Saber symbol tied to its neck.

A puppy with little deer antlers with a Caster symbol on its collar.

A disgruntled-looking fat rabbit with a blindfold, with an Archer symbol printed on the blindfold.

A dragon curled around a full moon, which has a Rider symbol etched among the craters.

A slim-bladed sword, with a Saber symbol etched into the hilt.

A sleek dark-furred cat with a Lancer symbol under her paw.

A dragon with a scroll in one clawed paw, a Ruler symbol printed on the unfurled paper.

A model of the planet Saturn, with a Crobat perched on top of it and a Toxicroak seated beside it. The Crobat has a Caster symbol in one claw.

A fluffy round dragon, not unlike a Squishable, with a Rider symbol in her teeth.

A mutt dog with a large red heart in its mouth, with the Lancer symbol on it.

If he's looking for any other specific teams, there are less of those, but equally varied.

[he gives the array a smile, reaching out to give a little pat to the dragon around the moon and planetary model before, curious, he looks around for anything with kraken colors on it.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

There are four for Kraken! Like the Cerberus pieces, they're scattered around, though that bright sea green is probably easier to spot than the warm purple.

A bubble tea charm, with the Archer symbol on one of the little boba.

A figurine of a phoenix in flight, wings open, with a Lancer symbol hidden in the flames.

An uncustomized ball-jointed doll, on a display stand, with a handful of different outfits in its arms. The Assassin symbol is stitched onto one of the outfits.

A little jar of fireflies, with the Caster symbol carved into the lid.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[carefully, he reaches out to touch the jar of fireflies.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It takes a couple of seconds of contact before it filters in: an amused sort of fondess, maybe slightly tinged with exasperation, the way a kid might roll her eyes and say yes, Mom when scolded, annoyed but also aware that it comes from a place of concern. It's a gentle feeling, a shoulder bump of solidarity.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[cute...

in quick succession, he'll graze his fingers across everything else in kraken colors.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

Like with his, most of these take a second or two for the impressions to kick in. Most of these are also affectionate, tinted with something else--except for the bubble tea one, where the feeling from that is perhaps best summarized as "????????"

The phoenix has a sense of almost childish excitement that is attached to it, and the doll is... mostly concerned, but it's clear that Ritsuka is still fond of them both.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

...They all care about you. You can trust them all.

[his kraken bias...

he'll look for another door, though, unless the only way out is back through the door he came through]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

There is not anything visible, unfortunately. Just the cluttered room, and the little tentacle as the only thing that doesn't quite look like it belongs.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[he pauses for a moment, sighing.]

Sorry about this, sorry, I promise I'll be careful—

[and then he's reaching out to pick up the tentacle.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It does not seem to like this at all. It struggles, wrapping around his wrist with a surprisingly crushing amount of strength, clearly resisting, as if it's hiding something.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[he makes A Face as he continues.]

It's okay - it's okay. I promise, I'm not going to hurt you or any part of her! You don't have to give me any kind of feeling, but you don't have to hurt me, either. I just want to get past this so I can find her and help her!

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It just struggles more, frantic, gripping him with a crushing sort of strength... but if he persists, he can see, in its struggle, that there is the glint of something gold under the thing.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[he keeps giving out apologies as he reaches for that golden object.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It struggles even harder, frantic; he's going to have some gnarly bruising on his wrist after this. But he can make the grab, and what he finds is a gold ring: a heavy band, solid and unadorned.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

Sorry, sorry—

[he's trying to pet the tentacles to subdue them after this, apologetic, but he'll inspect the ring afterwards.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It's so unhappy, surprisingly emotive for a thing that has hundreds of eyes and no other facial features. But once he has the ring, it goes still again, as if deactivated.

The ring itself is a pretty heavy piece for its size, without any sort of extra adornment or decoration.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[after a moment:]

This might be presumptuous, but—

[he slips the ring on.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

Well, at least he doesn't turn invisible or anything!

But once the ring is on, he can see the outline of a door, glowing gold and slowly solidifying, on the wall on the other side of the bed. It was definitely not there before.

Re: MY ROOM

[heartlands]

[over to the door he goes! he'll try to open it.]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

The door opens...
