[he has Six Eyes, of course he noticed it.

PULLING PLATE FURTHER TOWARD HIMSELF!]

Mmmm! Smells really good, actually!

From:

fujimaru

The little tentacle waves even more fiercely; it is almost comical in its tiny, tiny fury. But while it has those limbs, it doesn't really have any way to move on its own, apparently; it's just wiggling in place as best as it can. Something is definitely scraping at the shelf as it moves.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

Oh, so you do want it. 'Kay. Hold still.

[TIME TO PICK UP A TENTACLE MONSTER WHILE OFFERING OVER THE CURRY--and also grab for whatever gold thing is underneath it.]

From:

fujimaru

It immediately begins to squirm like an animal that does not want to be picked up, wrapping itself as best it can around his wrist instead of going for the curry. Alarm! Alarm! Alarm?!

The gold thing ends up being a ring: heavy for its size, solid gold and unadorned.

Sheesh. Fine.

[plops it back down just. y'know. without the ring.]

From:

fujimaru

When he sets it down, it starts thrashing again. It has noticed the ring is missing, but unfortunately for it... it still cannot actually reach him to take it back. But it WILL make its displeasure EXTREMELY well-known.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[also taking the plate back, lol.]

Yeah, yeah. Don't hide important things and you won't have to be manhandled.

[anyway, time to inspect the ring.]

From:

fujimaru

So, you know how Ritsuka herself sometimes appears to be intensely cursed?

The ring itself is pretty ordinary in a material sense: a heavy solid gold band, without any sort of adornment, but this ring feels like both the key and the counter to unknown amounts of curses, intensely powerful. This is the sort of ring that was not made by or for humans.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[GOOD THING HE'S NOT HUMAN /jokes in jjk

but ok, pocketing that.]

Now, if you really wanna be useful, point me in the right direction.

[POKES AT THE MONSTER THING]

From:

fujimaru

It seems more interested in poking back, trying to whack his fingers with the sharp part of its eyes.

But if he looks around the room while having this little pokefest, he might see something on the wall that's on the opposite side of the bed from where he's standing.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[little pokefest is hilarious when he can't actually be poked but in fact, he does break off from the poking to go to investigate the wall.]

From:

fujimaru

It appears to be vaguely in the outline of a door. The closer he gets, the brighter the outline becomes, like it's trying to come into existence and just can't manage, quite yet.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[uuuuuh.

looking to see if maybe there's a key hole or a symbol or something?]

From:

fujimaru

There does not appear to be, though he will notice that if he moves further away from the wall, the outline begins to dim.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[well okay. time to see if he can just BARGE THROUGH THE DOOR]

From:

fujimaru

Unfortunately, when the door is magic, it's still more wall than it is door, so I guess he can enjoy getting like halfway into the wall and bouncing off something that feels a lot like stone.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[RUDE!]

Okay! Fine! That just means I'm almost there, right?! You think you can keep me out, you've got another thing coming!

From:

fujimaru

The wall does not say anything, because it is a wall.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[fine!

getting up and putting the curry plate in front of the little monster dude.]

Here. You can have it. I gotta go look for whatever gets me in there.

From:

fujimaru

The tentacle taps at the plate thoughtfully a few times, just sort of digging around in it. It has no mouth to eat, either, but it seems pretty pleased with this situation.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[pats the tentacle lad before... STRAIGHTENING UP THIS MESS OF A ROOM. you will have organization for five minutes, Ritsuka, if only so he can determine if there's anything like that gold ring or something here.

though at some point, he's definitely gonna be full of:]

NO ONE NEEDS THIS MUCH STUFF!

From:

fujimaru

Just how much of this stuff are you touching, Gojo, because a lot of the general clutter--really, anything that isn't directly color-coded with something from a Reverie team--is going to be a Lot Of Feelings that bleed through with the contact. It might be a lot of stuff, but it appears to be there's a lot of emotional connection with all of the things.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[he will touch maybe 5 things before he gives up because LISTEN, THE ONE THING GOJO SATORU IS BAD ABOUT...

but then he's just focusing on the color-coordinated stuff. CLEARLY THAT'S SAFER, RIGHT? (no)]

From:

fujimaru

Well, now, that depends. Some of them do take longer for any sort of feeling to make itself known, but there's an awful lot of Cerberus items.

From:

unlimitedtimeoff

[gathering up the Cerberus items! they absolutely must be on prominent display!]
