[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.]

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

[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]

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[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.]

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[uuuuuh.

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

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

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

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[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!

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

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

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[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!

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[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)]

Re: MY ROOM

[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.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

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

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

He can find:

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.

The symbols won't be familiar to him, though there is a sense that these are deliberately sorted and picked for reasons. Three of these (the antlered dog, the planet model, and the round dragon) also give him immediate warm and fuzzy feelings, which will clarify if he holds them for longer.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[nope, he's focusing on the fat rabbit because--]

I'M NOT A RABBIT!

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It's a very cute rabbit! It's round! It has a pink nose! It gives the sense of affection, though it's a muted kind of thing, but that is tempered mostly with a definite sense of amusement, like she might have anticipated him complaining and still thinks it's funny.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[... this is so rude. SO RUDE!

is there a desk somewhere to put these guys on?]

Re: MY ROOM

[fujimaru]

It is, though it is also covered in other stuff. A Best Of Tristan CD, a pair of black bunny ears, we're back to "does anyone really need this much stuff" problem.

Re: MY ROOM

[unlimitedtimeoff]

[YEET EVERYTHING DOWN SO CERBERUS CAN REIN SUPREME.

no, he'll at least like. put the non-Cerberuses on top of other piles. it's fine.]

The real reason to find that Ritsuka: get her to clean her room.
