“Quite the locale.” Says a young lady perfectly poised on a couch. (Naturally she’s picked out the fanciest couch available, complete with velvet seats and gold trim.) She’s been settled there for the past hour or so, not saying much of anything and just watching.

She still keeps her eyes wandering as she speaks, taking in everything she can and mentally cataloguing it away.

”Very well then, since it is apparently good form to ask a question here… how would any of you handle a situation where you’re outnumbered? Or more specifically, when your resources are diminished compared to before, and there are still obstacles ahead of you.”

((OOC: Testing the waters on an AU concept! The fine details/info probably won’t come up, but they are a driving background force and are written up on the character journal!))

"...No?" Mitsuru tilts her head to the side as she looks at him. "I was making the rounds in the dormitory, and noticed there was a door ajar in the command room."

Come to think of it, had that door always been there? The situation grows more curious, as shown by the thin, thoughtful line her lips take.

"That is precisely my point, Akihiko. I'm not certain of the rules this place follows, and what the limits are, if any. As such, one truly should be ready for anything... and perhaps begin making a list of how many doors in our city lead to this place."

"What if it's just a coat closet tomorrow? Anyway, I think there's a reason we're here, not just luck." Just don't ask him what that reason is, as his answer might be biased to his hobbies and interests.

"It- actually, that's a good question. If it is simply a coat closet tomorrow, we'll have to test the one in the dormitory. That's also why I want to make a list, so we have fallbacks." She ever so slightly emphasizes the 'I' in that, making it clear it will be HER task. "However... there's a respectable amount of tasks between now and tomorrow."

With all that implies. Still, they will face the evening back in Iwatodai as it comes, and not fret over it before then. And in the meantime, there's still conversations to pursue here.

"A reason-?"

Don't ask.

Don't ask.

Don't-

"What would that reason be?"

...Curiosity. It is indeed a damning trait at times.
