[ Oh, boy. Such fun clutter.

Da Vinci just glances around, and then sighs, glancing at the twins. She sees that figurine. She hates it. ]

Well, you two can investigate. Just be careful.

[ The figurine is TOP SUSPICION but she's going to go look at the tarot card first. ]

[fujimaru]

The Tarot card gives her this memory, without any of the related game chatter around it. It is clearly from relatively early in Ritsuka's time at Chaldea.

[davincible]

[ She pauses, eyes closing briefly.

There's a face even she misses. ]

... Still have a way of showing up when people least suspect you, huh.

[ She places the card down. And then reaches for the figurine. ]

All right, it's about time you get out of here.

[fujimaru]

The figurine recoils from her, its many, many eyes swiveled in her direction. Look, what's a little demon pillar action among all your daughter's items, huh?

[davincible]

[ Yeah, what the fuck! ]

... You can come quietly-- [ as she extends her hand to it, palm up so it could ootch on if it felt like that. ]

Or I can freeze you solid. Your choice.

[fujimaru]

It recoils from her, but does not make any effort to move. Instead, it waves at her, a tiny, tiny aggressive defiance.

[davincible]

Listen, you little shit. [ ARMING THE GAUNTLET AND AIMING-- ]

[likewinning]

Okay. I will be careful.

[ He gets distracted by the team colors pretty quickly, though. ]

[fujimaru]

There is at least one item with a color for every team in Reverie, though some have more than others. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cerberus's color has the most representatives.)

[likewinning]

[ IMMEDIATELY LOOKING FOR YATAGARASU, thanks. ]

[fujimaru]

Yatagarasu has a few pieces!

A bonsai tree, struggling, scraggly, but somehow still strong, with a Caster symbol etched into its pot.

A little Joltik plushie, wearing a white train conductor's hat that has a Caster symbol on it.

A delicate-looking star-shaped white flower, with a Saber symbol tied to it with a strip of ribbon.

Of course he won't necessarily know the symbols, but he's with Da Vinci. She will.

[likewinning]

[ He moves to pick up the Joltik plushie. ]

[davincible]

[ Have fun, Emmet. ]

[likewinning]

Hey, Da Vinci. What are these?

[ He points towards the Yatagarasu pieces with symbols on them. ]

[davincible]

The symbols?

[ She pauses to investigate. ]

They're the signs for Servant classes. Like how I'm a Caster... this one. [ she points to the Joltik. ]

[likewinning]

I do not know what that means, but we can table that conversation for later.

[derailer]

I see...

[Well he will look for Sphinx items instead. This is helpful, probably.]

[fujimaru]

There are two items for Sphinx:

A stuffed Chandelure plushie with a Caster symbol on its side.

A jellyfish with an uwu face, a Caster symbol tangled in its tentacles

As with Emmet, he might not necessarily recognize the symbols, but Da Vinci will.

He will find both of them on top of this friend.

[derailer]

[GASP... Well, first he will carefully pick up Chandelure.]

Chandelure!

[fujimaru]

Picking it up, there is a fairly immediate sense of fondness--a little exasperation, maybe, but that's more flavoring than actual annoyance. It feels kind of like someone has thrown their arms around his waist for a quick hug, a kid rushing past a parental figure and returning back for the display.

They are definitely aimed at him.

[derailer]

[Aaaah! Aaahhhhh! That's so cuuuuute! He hugs the plushie close for a moment, and doesn't actually set it down before picking up the Baast-Nyan.]

[davincible]

[ You two are living your best lives. ]

[derailer]

[pointing at the cat]

This is an animal similar to the Sphinx, is it not?

[davincible]

Yes, it's a cat. I made this, actually. As a present.

[derailer]

Oh, really? She must think of it very fondly, then, to be keeping it safe here!

[He hands Da Vinci the Chandelure plushie so she can feel those feelings. (Before she messes with the tentacle,)]
