[ just for you, then 💖

Hm. Kind of an on-the-nose metaphor here, huh...

He'll look at the "hello" and just kind of. Stare for a moment. He didn't swipe a pen from upstairs, so for now that's just going to be sitting on top of the dresser as he starts poking through the drawers. ]

[afflictionmods]

[I'm trying to make this a solvable mystery here, okay? Let me have some hamfisted metaphors, as a treat.

The drawers are empty! The last item of note was the picture frame and Fantastic Bird Metaphor, so it's onwards to the next piece of the puzzle.]

[superstructure]

[ shhhhhhhh its good and great. have your treat.

Okay, then let's check the bed! Let's start with checking under the pillows, seeing if anything is tucked under the sheets. ]

[afflictionmods]

[There's nothing tucked under the sheets, but one of the pillows seems to be heavier than the rest. Almost as if they're something in the pillow case.

(They're something in the pillow case.)]

...

It's not another key, is it. ]

[afflictionmods]

[They call him Four Key Julio, on account of his four keys...







But no, it's not another key, even I was really tempted for a moment. It's a locket, actually! Shaped like a heart and everything.]

[superstructure]

[ there's still time, don't worry.

What's inside? ]

[afflictionmods]

[a picture of Rideaux 💖

No, there's actually nothing inside of it! Still, probably good to bring it along. It's like he's getting pieces to solve puzzles like this is a Resident Evil game.]

[superstructure]

[ .............gross.

Well, luckily the JRPG in him will put it in the Key Items area, so it'll stay around. Is there anything under the bed? ]

[afflictionmods]

[Under the bed is clear! He has obtained all he can from the guest bedroom.]

[superstructure]

[ Excellent, let's get to that last room, then. ]

[afflictionmods]

[Welcome to the sunroom, pal. Not that there’s much sun this late at night (early in the morning?).

There’s a lot of plants in the room and large windows looking out at the backyard, as well as some seating to Lounge on.

Mostly plants, though.]

[superstructure]

[ Oh, this is nice.

What's the view of the backyard looking like from here? Anything from this vantage point that they couldn't see before?

And... what's the deal with the plants....... what secrets are they hiding in their foliage/under their pots.... ]

[afflictionmods]

[They're very well taken care of plants that seem to be very loved - and they are very much real plants! Mostly. There is one artificial plant, a potted bluebell flower, and it seems like there is something sticking out of the base of it.

The living plants are all clear of anything suspicious, though!]

[superstructure]

[ Oho! What do we have sticking out from the base? ]

[afflictionmods]

[A pair of garden shears! They look quite old, but also appear to have never seen used... Why they're in a fake plant's pot is a mystery.

But with that, the sunroom is cleared!]

[superstructure]

[ thumbs up! time to see whether the rest of them have killed each other yet or not ]
