Where is it?!
[A large form stalked through the house, cradling its head gingerly. A headache was nothing new, and Atsushi knew from experience that it was the kind you got from a hangover. The more he thought about it, though, he couldn't remember drinking anything the night before--but then again, weren't blackouts for him a common occurrence? He thought that was so. He thought--no, it hurt to think.
It was a miracle he'd found the map lying next to him upon waking, but using it was a whole nother ballgame. All he managed to get from it was that the kitchen was somewhere leftish, before throwing it back on the floor without bothering to see if there was anything on the back.
He threw open some of the kitchen cabinets and squinted into the darkness before groaning in disappointment. What kind of house didn't have some sake in it to help remedy his headache?
After throwing open the door to every cubpoard and cabinet he could lay his beady eyes on, he was forced to face the truth. Without bothering to close the now gaping doors, he lumbered back in the general direction from which he had come, leaving naught but a string of curse words in his wake.]

Do ya know if those bedrooms happen to be occupied? No? [He went on, not waiting for an answer.] Here's wut we gonna do, all right: you come with me to one of them bedrooms, and if someone's inside, then we'll wait for them to not be anymore! You can watch the door, I'll be lookin' for the booze since I know the best hidin' spots. And don't worry, even if they do come in while we in there, they'll never harm ya 'cos I'm here too! Even if yer weak, I'll protect ya, see. We're buddies.
[Headache forgotten, Atsushi grins down at his companion, offering him a ghastly thumbs-up.]
no subject
There seems to be only one another man here. I'm staying in a bedroom myself, but I would gladly share some with you if I had it. When I looked the house over yesterday, there didn't seem to be any. There are teas, coffees, and other things to drink. [Nevermind the fact that Light isn't one to help in theft. It's noted that this man is, though.]
There are even some canned ice tea. In the absence of alcohol, something sweet and cold seems best.

[Atsushi paused before continuing. The wheels in his head were turning slowly but surely, like hamster wheels. Although Atsushi's brain hamster was usually lazy, it had periods of activity, especially in the mornings. As Atsushi considered the other man's words, he felt a vague sense of unease.]
You, you seem to know the house around pretty well. How do ya know it so well? Are you the one who made that map I found when I woke up? That means ya put it there while I was still sleepin'...tha's kinda creepy, dude, I dunno.
no subject
Light lets loose a light chuckle, waving his hand as it to physically dispel the thought.] I try not to make it a habit of to visit rooms while people sleep. I woke up here yesterday with a map of my own, and I've tested it against the actual layout.
[But then his head would tilt just slightly.] But it's good you're cautious. I don't mind proving I'm unarmed if it puts you at ease. [He obviously didn't see Light as a physical threat.]
no subject
An' I'll do the same! Ya see, I don' need anythin' but these guns. [Atsushi flexes a bicep pointedly at his companion.]
Well, ya mind showin' me around? Name's Atsushi.
no subject
[He finally moves further into the kitchen, his hand going to the door on the far end of the kitchen.] That's the laundry room. There seems to be a change of clothes for each of us inside and a locked door. I don't suppose you know very much about electricity or wiring?
no subject
[Atsushi glances inside the dark room.] Electricity or wirin'? Well, I did help my old man an' some neighbors fix up the house a couple times, so I'm pretty good with changin' lightbulbs an' the like. Why ya askin'? Wonderin' how to turn them lights on? That switch should be somewhere inside, goin' by my experience.
[He reaches an arm inside and slides his hand up and down the wall, looking for the apparatus.]
no subject
No, it's a bit more complicated than that. There's a locked door inside and forcible entry will cut the electricity in the house. That wouldn't be a problem if someone could rewire it.
no subject
Tha's right, jus' stay behind me. If anythin' jumps out at us, I'll clobber 'em.
Oi, Light--Is wutever is inside that door worth a lot o' money? For you to wanna get it that bad. Or...
[Atsushi trails away, thinking back to a similar door back at his house in Sotoba. Also locked. Also rectangular. If this one is just like that door in his house, then it has to also contain the sake. Could it be...?]
no subject
But he only nods at the offer. No reason to discourage his help should he want to offer it.]
I can't say for sure what's behind it. It's locked and so far, I haven't been able to find the combination. It could be something to divert our attention from the real problem, but considering this seems to be a game set up, it could also be helpful.

[Atsushi laughs lowly, shaking his head.]
no subject
Giving him another look, he comes further into the room.]
Then construction? You look like someone who works with your hands.
no subject
Well, yeh, I have done some buildin' work here and thar.
[There. Now it won't look like he's bragging.]
no subject
Then, if we haven't found a way in the right way, maybe we can get around whatever it is that would kick the electricity.
