[riku did you kill hyunjae. anyway whatever, they do have things to talk about even if he sort of huffs at the idea of hyunjae thinking things were boring.
the exploration is important.]
There's a door back there. I think it's some kind of security office...we broke in earlier and took a look around. There were a ton of monitors that showed videos of different places around the fuel station. Riku found some stuff, too.
[ it's said a little lamely, because terrible things are happening and people are getting killed, and sora and riku went and explored without her. no, that's fair. that tracks. she picks up meow wow because she's moving towards the glass to start picking that up and doesn't want him to hurt his little paws paws. ]
A security office...? So what else did you find in there?
Kairi--be careful. [Dammit, Kairi. He's going to go over to make sure her and Meow Wow stay out of the glass.] Sora, do you see a broom anywhere? There's a lot of glass.
[Back to the exploring:]
There was a desk; that's what I checked. It had a notebook on top that said, "Gas Station." It looked like a list of things for the station on the first page. Soda, fuel, that sort of stuff. The newest one said, uh... [Thinking. . .] "Extend-eeze Pills: Restock in 24 hours. Amount missing: all," or something.
The second page had a list, too, but a lot of it I couldn't read. Names maybe? They were beside "Destroyed convenience store," and "stole all of the pills," and "lewd behavior on camera."
The third page... had mine and Sora's names on it. "Keyblade," and "arrived with" Komory and Meow Wow.
[there's more but i have wrote too much already for this tag goodbye]
[NO HE HEARS THAT AND NOW HE FEELS BAD? also there is glass crunching under his clown shoes and he frowns.]
Um...[he will search for a broom! and riku explains all of that before he just...sighs.]
One of the drawers in the desk was locked, too. Riku and I got it open but I was watching the cameras. I think someone might've been in there recently. We found something in the drawer but we kinda got interrupted. There was...something on the screen. And when I looked, it was moving until this giant robot burst into the office to try and kill us.
[there's more, but we will let kairi reply to our fnaf simulator.]
[ she wasn't going to cut herself on it!! god!! but fine she is just going to stand there while they talk instead, petting the widdle meow wow and frowning. not at them but more at what the fuck happened ]
Only you and Sora's name were on that page? [ that's weird. but, also forget all the important thing-- ] What do you mean, a robot? Are you two okay?
[ they SEEMED fine but she's still looking them over worriedly!! you fuckers don't even have keyblades!!! ]
It had these red eyes and it sounded like a bunch of metal scraping on each other. I don't know how nobody else noticed it, but he's right. It froze as it got close to us and then we got kicked out.
[he's sweeping aside some glass with his foot to make a little pile.]
I think our names were probably visible because we were in the room. It seems weird otherwise, you know? We also found something in the drawer, but uh...
[he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a security badge! however, riku will notice that it now has sora's name on it.]
It kinda changed after we left. [he considers the badge for a moment.] I kinda lied to you this morning. The register told me to break into that room, but I did want to find information about what's happening to us. [and he looks at kairi.] The receipt said I could only take one person, and I didn't want something happening to you again.
[ even if king mickey made riku piss. damn. kairi peers at the security badge. she can't believe sora is a cop now... acab...
anyway there's a light frown at like. all of this ]
Should you be sharing that much about it? [ it's not like there's any rule on the receipts for after, she just... felt like she shouldn't afterwards, so she's a little worried. she doesn't say that, looking back at sora ] It's okay. You don't have to explain yourself to me.
[ it's not like she was mad about it. no she does not consider sora feeling bad about her being down on herself as an option ]
Nice badge, nerd. Sora is a cop. Woody would be very proud of him. Twinies. Riku doesn't seem insulted that Sora lied to him about breaking into the room. Kairi is the one who is going to wring their necks for doing this to her for a hundredth time. We continue the terrible Kairi writing for the Square team.]
So I was your guinea pig?
[HE'S JOKING SASSILY.......listen. He's not mad. He too wouldn't want Kairi to have to go through double the suffering.
Even though she has the Keyblade between the three of them. RIP.]
[shut up, nerd. also shut up anna!! anyway he just shrugs and scratches the back of his head.]
Sorry. [he does not sound remotely sorry.] I think...it's okay if I share with you guys, but only you two. Just in case something happens to me. [the mods said i could. so he puts the badge back in his pocket and folds his arms over his chest.]
When I went back to the register, I got a new receipt that called this thing a security clearance badge and said I was a probationary employee of Fuel-eeze now. The badge lets me access any locked rooms as long as they're associated with the level I'm at. There's possibly a chance of my rank changing, too.
And I guess I can use the PA system now? [they gave him a master key. help.] I'm going to look for any place we might need to break into and see what else I can find out, but I wanted you guys to know.
[ kairi whispers conspiratorially to meow wow that riku is a decent guinea pig.
honestly, it's fascinating to hear all of that, but that reminds her... ]
Your reward is a lot different from mine. [ she takes out a receipt from her pockets ] I can use one spell using my keyblade. That's all. But I cashed in the one I got from our snow trip, too, and that one had something on it... I don't know if you guys can read it.
[ she shows them the receipt but all they will be able to see is a friend ]
Nice! [spells for the girl! he's very happy about that, please let kairi be able to defend herself. but yeah, he's also peering at the paper and repeating "squirrel?" about the same time riku says it.
squirrel.]
...if I'm going anywhere, I want you two with me. [first and foremost?] But I don't know if anyone else can without the right ranking or whatever. [the mods may only let me but that's fine just know his intentions are there.] Is the squirrel the furry friend you can redeem?
[ she isn't going to fight to be included but she will fight for that much. ]
I think so. But I guess you two can't see the rest of it? [ huh. she moves to look at the paper ] It says I can use it to help with something on Saturday. Nott also got a message from the register that implied there was going to be something happening on Saturday.
[kairi: just getting over being :\ about them going w/o her riku: hey you and sora should teamwork sora, quickly: i want both of u]
If you're able to take anyone else, Kairi is the one with a Keyblade. [Sorry to Kairi that all he sees is a squirrel, though.] Something's happening on Saturday?
Do... you think it's related to what you guys did to help Ryuunosuke?
I may go look to see if the security badge will grant me access, and if it does I'll come back for you. [me, expecting the mods to say i can't bring people for explore but he's baby. anyway...]
Why Saturday? What day is it right now? [time is still a weird uncertain thing for him.]
We...suspected that the key to getting out of here is solving things, right? And now that people are dying...? [they have to prove someone's innocence? yikes. been there, done that.]
[ the time thing is a great question and she just pauses and looks at riku like he would know more than she would. what day is it right now indeed ]
I don't know. We had all sorts of things to help Ryuunosuke and solve what happened then. But everything keeps vanishing here. How are we supposed to figure anything out?
[ besides asking a squirrel for help, maybe
which she will do but that does not seem like a balanced method of doing things ]
[NO. WHY ARE THEY LOOKING AT HIM, HE DOESN’T KNOW EITHER.
The monitor only gave the time, I think, but I’m godmodding and saying it had a day of the week so we have any semblance of time here.]
Wednesday… I think.
[stop dont ask him]
We’ll be able to do it. We aren’t the only ones looking around. Who knows what someone has that could help us Saturday. Just promise me you two will be careful between now and then, alright? I don’t like whatever Sora and I saw in that room. If it’s roaming around…
If we aren’t going somewhere with ourselves, at least go with someone else. Don’t be alone. Don’t let anyone else be alone either, if you can help it.
[riku's the oldest so he gets to answer the hard questions.]
So we have a few days. [which means anthyding can hadplen...] If things are disappearing, maybe they'll come back later? I dunno...but Riku's right. We aren't the only ones looking around. We should try to talk to some of the others and see what we can find out too, right?
[he frowns though.] The weirdest part is how it snuck up on us so fast and out of nowhere. I didn't even hear it until it got too close and it was too late. That can't be the thing killing us, can it? [ugh.]
But right. Don't be alone. We'll stick together at night, too.
[ kairi will call him out if sora won't :/ geez :/ but she seems to agree with the sentiment otherwise. the rat thing is giving her a goddamn heart attack though don't imply you were that close to being murdered you fucks ]
If that thing is dangerous, why didn't it attack either of you? And... where did it go after? The fog? This place is big, but not big enough to hide a giant rat, is it?
I don’t know. If it is, why didn’t it just kill us in the room? [He shakes his head.] We heard it right before it broke through the door, but it froze… and then we were suddenly outside.
I guess we should find out if anyone else has seen it somewhere.
[The gummy warning later…]
It sounded… like metal, but there was a mug in the room, like someone had been there. I don’t think whatever that was would be drinking anything, so… maybe it’s a guard? Rather than someone who runs this place. I could be wrong though.
Maybe it went to kill someone else. [which is horrifying, thanks, he does not want it.] I don't know why it stopped either. But we should see if anyone else has noticed anything weird...or maybe other robots.
[why can't the robot be as cute as baymax? help.]
What if there's a different security guard that's watching us? Everything keeps getting restocked, and we hear the announcements for cleanup when people are killed, right? Maybe there's someone who's keeping everything..."safe."
If there is someone like that, they're not doing a very good job of it.
[ PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED ]
But okay. So... we should ask around? Maybe we need to get everyone together at some point to see what we all found out so far. It'd be easier, wouldn't it? And we're trying to keep people from wandering off on their own anyway.
Should we wait until Friday to get everyone together? If something's going to happen on Saturday, but we don't know what's going to happen before then, we might miss some information or something.
[also people die when they are killed and everyone is getting killed so fast.]

[He shoots Sora a LOOK that's to say why did he just jump the damn gun to the most horrific part like that so nonchalantly!!!!!! SORA! God dammit.]
We're all right. It didn't hurt us. It looked like... a rat. It stopped suddenly, and then we were back outside the room.
[Weird. It made them piss. But it's fine. Kairi doesn't need to know that.]
The notebook had another page. The only thing on it was, "Gas Station: known for our quick turnaround!" in red writing.

That sounds like it should come in handy. [Sora, your protag.] Both of them actually. You two should stick together if Sora explores again.
