[ good to know shinobu is always armed with those giyuu burns. dimitri hides a tiny smile, despite the weird atmosphere.
but speaking of giyuu, they can switch places, because dimitri will wander over to the table as well. he rifles over the contents, glancing at the remaining doodles but turning his attention to the keyring, comparing it to his own cabin key. ]
That's true... In that case, I wonder why they would be the only ones out here.

[ Shinobu turns off the sink and walks out the bathroom in time to see Giyuu wobble. ]
I do wonder what more the fog will reveal once it rece— Are you all right, Tomioka-san?
[ She asks with some concern, but she is also going over to the closed door and trying the handle. ]

[ She asks with some concern, but she is also going over to the closed door and trying the handle. ]
[There are no keys on the keyring, nor are there any charms attached like with the cabin keys. It's just a simple, lonely keyring. It doesn't seem brand new, however. While Dimitri checks that out, though, Shinobu will find that the closed door is locked. Now that she's close, however... The door emanates warmth, and there is a low humming noise coming from behind the door.]
Perhaps this is where the jade mask figure lives.
[ his vision is still a bit wonky so he stops for another moment. ]
And it's nothing—just dizzy.
[ he says as he gives his head one more shake to clear out his vision. ...and the whole reason why he's over by the cabinets is so that he can take a single pop-tart and a bag of doritos for his sleeves (snack sleeves) before he joins shinobu at the, apparently, humming door.
nothing good comes from humming doors but this is all fine. ]

[ He frowns at that. Dizzy from what? He doesn't stare at the papers for long, folding and pocketing both sheets with the empty keyring. Couldn't hurt. Goddess forgive him for stealing, but desperate times.
Anyway, he joins door crew. It'd be nice if they could actually lockpick these things, but instead they're facing down the same predicament as before.
So... may as well start with the same tactic as before. He reaches out to knock, fingers resting against the wood for an extra moment to check how it feels. ]
If we have to kick this one down as well, we should at least be prepared to catch whoever does so, this time...
[ Sorry about before, Shinobu. ]

[ Sorry about before, Shinobu. ]
[ Dizzy is a little concerning, Giyuu....
She doesn't kick just yet, waiting to see if the knock will actually do anything. Maybe they'll be lucky? Or maybe they'll be really unlucky because it does open and behind the door is death (and they die off schedule). ]
I am more worried about what's behind this one because for something to be that warm that it can be felt through the door... but I am lightest of you two.
[ So she'd be easiest to pull back, if they have to kick to open it. Still, she never sheathed her sword, and that humming is also worrisome. ]
Please don't mind what happened before.
[ In fact, forget it. ]

[ don't worry about the dizziness. metatext told them why he's dizzy—at least he didn't faint.
but giyuu isn't too keen on the idea of shinobu to go flying into another room, especially a room that feels this hot. so, looks like it's giyuu who will try the next escalation by banging on the door with his fist while raising his voice to get the attention of anyone who might be inside.
if the humming is this loud on their end, it must be even louder on the other end, right? either way, he's banging on the door. ]
Is anyone in there?!

[No.
The door doesn't open when Giyuu bangs his fist against it, but music starts blaring from the other side. It will keep going faster and faster, playing on a loop until it's nothing but infinite chipmunk noises.
What now?]

[ hm.
this will only end one way and giyuu isn't about to see how things will go in that one way so maybe there's something else in the room (now that i'm not distracted by snacks for the snack sleeve). there's a smarter way, maybe? should be.
hopefully...
he thinks back to the keyring and...wanders back over towards the table where he last saw it. thanks for snatching the keyring though, dimitri?? as he will then look around (feel around) for anything that might seem different. anything that stands out? ]

[ ugh. he wishes he could just rip this door off its hinges. the noise grates his nerves, but he still notices Giyuu set off.
with Shinobu still having to free her sword, he supposes he should make himself useful too. he takes a quick look under the table, before just. pushing aside kitchen appliances? is there a key somewhere? hewwo? ]

[ AHHH SHE HATES THIS her ears HER SWORD
Yeah, Shinobu is just trying to get her sword unstuck. She wants it back. She tugs and pulls and pushes her foot against the door for more leverage, etc.
PLEASE GIVE HER HER SWORD BACK. SHE KNOWS SHE WENT a little feral, BUT IT'S SPECIALLY MADE FOR HER. ): ]

[If Giyuu is looking on top of the table, the only thing that's different from before is the now missing bottle and the missing drawings. The coloring supplies are still there, sitting innocently on top of the wooden surface. Dimitri can take a glance under the table, but there's nothing visibly odd beyond a dirty floor. Someone, please sweep and mop this shit. Marie Kondo is weeping.
As for the kitchen appliances... What exactly is he doing to them, and which one? The toaster oven sits on top of the counter and can easily be pushed aside, if he so desires. There's nothing under it beside more crumbs. The fridge is a little heavier and will require more effort, however, and the stovetop is glued to the counter.
The sword does not come unstuck. In fact, the more she pulls... the deeper it sinks? Like the door is eating it. Haha, swvore.]

[ shinobu...
how about under the chairs! is there anything under there?? clearly there is swvore happening in addition to this awful music. is this music? who knows what noise that they're listening to anymore. please don't make giyuu and dimitri to flip this entire cabin to for their answers or for shinobu to become one with the door or be eaten by the door or whatever.
he might have some very personal reasons why that is not going to be okay with him. can we not have giyuu go feral in this room as well??? HE'S SO GOOD ABOUT KEEPING HIS EMOTIONS ON THE DOWN LOW. please let him not contemplate ramming the door with the fridge. ]

[ He will refrain from hulking out on the fridge and trying to knock it over, though he does knock over the toaster. That's what you get, toaster. Anyway, it's hard to notice that Shinobu's sword is getting eaten, so he swings over to the other side of the room, looking through the bathroom. Anything under the sink or odd about the toilet?
He glares pointlessly at the mirror for a second, irritable over the noise before calling out to Shinobu. It's hard over the music, but it's not a huge room. ]
Did you retrieve your sword yet?

[ If she says Mamma Mia out loud enough, will that short circuit the song enough to stop?
Unfortunately, Shinobu isn't as reckless as she can be when there are people with her, so she's not actually going to try to actively be vored. Today, at least. But if the door looks like it wants to eat something, she'll give it something to eat. ]
The door seems to be absorbing it.
[ For as bright as her tone is, she also sounds mad.
Anyway, no one said she has to be mature right now, so she's going into the kitchen, grabbing a bag of Doritos (Nacho Cheese) and a can of Dr. Pepper, before coming back to the door and hurling both of them at it. ]

[Nothing under the chairs, no! Just more examples of why Marie Kondo wept.
The toaster over is innocent and deserves none of this, and yet. It hits the floor and dents immediately, the glass door cracking. No more warm poptarts for anyone... :( Dimitri is free to check out the bathroom, however. There is nothing under the sink beyond, uh, more dirty floor. And the toilet is clear, except it seriously smells like shit if he takes a whiff while looking. Whew! However, while Dimitri looks in the mirror — the angle is right to see just a sliver of what's past the bathroom door. In that second he glares pointlessly at the mirror, he will see what appears to be someone passing by, heading in the direction of the front door. They do not resemble Shinobu or Giyuu, so, hm. Considering how loudly the music is playing, it's probably not odd that he doesn't hear any accompanying footsteps.
Meanwhile, Shinobu................................. Well.
She throws the bag of Doritos and can of Dr. Pepper at the door, and it schlurps it up immediately — spitting out Shinobu's sword in the process. Try to duck, okay?
A second later, they will hear the sound of the door unlocking
and the lights in the dining room-slash-kitchen and the bathroom flicker and die.
Mamma Mia is no longer playing.]

[ i'm not going back to count how many comments it took us to get through the door but—
let's just wager that giyuu is not in the trajectory of the sword so he doesn't get skewered and die. it would also be giyuu's time to draw his sword, except the whole swvore bit has him suddenly re-thinking his choices a bit. so, he'll just rests a hand on the handle as he makes his way back towards the door that is now unlocked.
what kind of door eats food? magic or otherwise... he doesn't say much of anything as he approaches the door and places a hand onto it. he'll push on it once shinobu and dimitri join him or they can barrel right past him. ...or use him as a shield as they move through the door. all options are fine. ]

[ His eyes widen in the mirror before he whips around.
And then room goes dark. And so very quiet.
Grinding out a curse, he rushes out into the main room, towards the entrance. The dark skews his spatial awareness some, but if Giyuu is still by the table, and Shinobu is by the other door...
The front door should be clear. So he runs to cover it, dagger drawn in front of him. ]

[ So much happens at once. The door is absolutely disgusting, but at least she gets he sword back. She evades easily enough and scrambles after it to collect it because a door that vores is very concerning.
Giyuu goes to the now unlocked door, which makes sense, but Dimitri is going back to the entrance...? ]
Dimitri-san, did you see something before the lights went off?
[ She strains to hear anything in the darkness as she carefully makes her way back to the voor (vore door). ]

[Y'all are so lucky there is barely any furniture in here, hot damn. Stop running in the dark.
Anyway— First thing's first, Giyuu pushes the door and it fully opens with a squeaky creaaaaaak. Gentle, LED light filters into the rest of the cabin, originating from the far wall in the now unlocked room. It's hard for them to tell what it is right away, as their eyes slowly adjust to the light, but it spans the entire upper half of the wall. Warmth emanates from the room, and the low humming sound becomes louder now that there's no longer a door between them.
Meanwhile, Dimitri will successfully get to the front door! But now that there's at least a little bit of light in the room, he will see... That there's no one else in the room with them. It's just Shinobu, Giyuu, Dimitri and his dagger. Huh.]
