A game of clues

[andeatit]

[So far, he had been very, very unsatisfied with his progress. Normally, things worked much more smoothly but being dropped into highly tense situations with people who seemed sure of their own paths hadn't made for a cohesive team. While he still felt they were safer in groups of three, it was time to do some real exploration.

The first thing was first: physically searching for clues. He'd stay in the house of course, as he still felt the surrounding land brought on too much threat of danger for the moment and he wanted more clues, or even a clue, toward the locked door in the laundry room. The bedrooms were his first step, as he wanted to look through the computers for potential clues and try to once more assess how many people had appeared. He would knock before going into each. If there was no answer, he would go inside and begin his searches, starting with the computers to see if any held any unique information. The rooms themselves would also be searched for anything that might hold numbers - he was fairly confident that while it was meant to be a difficult puzzle, it was meant to be solvable. Coming from Bedroom 2, he would move to Bedrooms 5, 4, and 3 before moving onto the Master Bedroom.

From there, he would move onto the middle and opposite sides of the house. The Dining Room, Great Room, Kitchen, Office, and finally the Laundry Rooms would be explored. There was no time for sloth.]

[ooc: basically, Light's looking through the entire house. If you want to avoid him, you can have hijinks ensue and have your character move between rooms while he's looking in other rooms; he also won't find any characters that are outside.]

[Light sighs and finally steps back, allowing her some personal space.]

They seemed to be stocked well enough, and there aren't many of us here. Even if we don't ration it closely, we should be fine for a while if we're not wasteful.

Hm. Maybe it would be a good idea to ration it nonetheless. You seem like someone who would manage a kitchen well, so I'd like to ask for your help should it come to that.

[momingstar]

Of course! Granted, my family back home is small, but it's the same basic principle. There might be something out there to find, too.

[andeatit]

Our history might be connected to why we're here, so while we look at the food, why don't you tell me about your family.

[momingstar]

Oh, of course! Well, you see, it's just the three of us, my husband and I have one child. She's in middle school right now. Takes after the both of us, I think -- she has his talent for magic tricks, sleight of hand, things like that, but she's as much of an athlete as I was. Oh, her PE grades might not look it, but I think she's selling herself short. I can tell, you know.

[andeatit]

Middle school? You started a family so young? That must have been quite the trial at first.

[momingstar]

Oh, thank you! [That's a much better "acting like she's younger than she is" than, say, the house drunkard thinking she's ten.] Well, we met when we were around your age, I'd say. Now that was quite the story... But what about your family, Yagami-kun?

[andeatit]

[He'll offer lessons. Though, to be fair, she also does look younger than she is.]

I've just entered my first year of University, so I don't have one like yours. I do have a younger sister who can be a handful, but that's hardly the same thing.

[momingstar]

[SHE'S LIKE FORTY.]

I'm sorry. I'm sure you miss them, too. We'll get out of here as soon as we're able to, all right?

[andeatit]

[SHE LOOKS, LIKE. 22 AT THE MOST.]

I'm fine. I plan on getting out of here and returning to them. I plan to have the same happen to you.

[momingstar]

[WELL I'M SURE SHE'S HAPPY TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT BUT]

Let's hope it happens soon. Whoever this captor of ours is, they've got a lot to answer for.

[andeatit]

Just do your best to be careful. I'm glad you're willing to look for them too, but you should try to stick with people when you do.
