he freezes for a second before murmuring a brief, barely there apology, before he decides to say fuck it and kick more intensely at where he's pretty sure there's gotta be some hinge or mechanism with a loud crash.
but there's nothing]
.... fuck.
[he pulls out his own phone, types furiously and then - ]
Mine aren't either. Takeru, get closer to the center of the room. Away from any vents, and not in the direct path of the door.
[mineo's hand twitches like he's about to reach for his gun from its holster, like he's about to try to shoot the door off the hinges, or break it.
. . . . . but he thinks better of it.]
... be easier if I knew what it was made out of.
[SCI-FI METAL but for now he won't risk a ricochet. he just makes a noise of aggravation before looking around as if to try to make sure there's only one point of entry. he looks back to takeru]
If something's coming to get us, and there's an opening, you run. I'll catch up.
If they have enough to be able to fix the elevator, what the hell's stopping them from figuring out some locks?
[and NOT in the middle of the night (apparently) when it'll probably freak some people out? at least everyone here seems mmmmostly capable of defending themselves, but.]
Why'd they try to keep us in one place?
[in a way, it'd be easier for him to understand if they were all herded in one central location but - being kept separate and cutting off communication lines? why.]
[ he's not sure how long ago that was, since either way mineo would have had to take time to go to the kitchen and then back here. it might have given her time to return if she wasn't there. ]
I wasn't at the room before I went to the kitchen.
[so he has no idea where she is]
My texts aren't reaching her. I'm sure she's fine, but - fuck.
[he just wants to be sure. at least he's not worried about her ability to handle herself in danger. if anything he's a little glad he's with takeru since otherwise he'd be losing his mind worse]
I don't see a reason to single us out in particular.
[ it doesn't make much sense? so it would either be because takeru or mineo is here, or if it's just something that's happening in general. the latter seems more likely. ]

Accidentally hit a sweet tray button on the vending machine instead of just one. Don't make fun of me, you'd do the same but on purpose.
[he's explaining why he has all the sweets bc he doesn't realize,,
but he's gonna walk over to the door to try to get out. pause when he can't open it.]
... what did you do?
[WHY DID THEY REACH THE SAME CONCLUSION]
no subject
[ he shoves mineo out of the way so he can try to open it?? nothing happens, even with his phone.
his frown deepens. ]
Have you ever gotten locked in your room before?
no subject
... No. Can you text Grace-san? See if she can open it from the other side? Or maybe Despair-san, if they can help us out.
[before he nudges takeru aside so he can try to open it too, putting a bit more strength into it
and then he's clearly thinking about exactly how much force it'd take to bring a door down if it comes to that]
no subject
there's a minute, before he looks up from his phone. ]
My texts aren't going through.
no subject

no subject
Can you hear anything from the other side of the door? Anyone in the hall?
[ i assume everything is soundproof on murder night ]
no subject
[everything's soundproof until the fucking cat video plays]
There's a chance they might try to put sleeping gas through the air system, so grab something to cover your mouth and nose.
[but he'll bring out his phone again, trying to send another text - ]
Still nothing. The hell could they be trying to do with this?
no subject
and then goes to walk around the entirety of the room in case there might be something hidden somewhere. ]
I haven't heard of anything that could explain it. I can't even text the Avatars.
no subject
They're supposed to be able to see us.... Oi!! Despair-san!! What the hell's going on?!
[he's not sure if he can even trust the Avatars but - at least there's now no way they can deny that they tried to reach them later]
Sloth-san! Greed-san...!
[yelling into the ether? terrible.]
no subject
[ he walks back over. ]
They claim to know nothing about some of the things here. They could be lying obviously, but...
no subject
[and NOT in the middle of the night (apparently) when it'll probably freak some people out? at least everyone here seems mmmmostly capable of defending themselves, but.]
Why'd they try to keep us in one place?
[in a way, it'd be easier for him to understand if they were all herded in one central location but - being kept separate and cutting off communication lines? why.]
no subject
[ but there's not much else they can do.
he walks back to the door to press his ear against it. ]
Did you see anyone on the way here?
no subject
Nobody - and nothing seemed weird, either. Didn't hear anybody knocking on their own doors like they got locked in either.
[in case it's just one mass malfunction? unlikely.]
no subject
[ he's not sure how long ago that was, since either way mineo would have had to take time to go to the kitchen and then back here. it might have given her time to return if she wasn't there. ]
no subject

[he just wants to be sure. at least he's not worried about her ability to handle herself in danger. if anything he's a little glad he's with takeru since otherwise he'd be losing his mind worse]
no subject
[ and he knows she'd try to get back to the room. ]
So, what's going on with people who aren't in a bedroom?
no subject
I don't hear anybody in the hallway, and they'd probably be able to hear something by now...
[he assumes? he actually doesn't know how soundproof these rooms are.]
You think everything's locked?
no subject
[ it doesn't make much sense? so it would either be because takeru or mineo is here, or if it's just something that's happening in general. the latter seems more likely. ]
no subject
So they're trying to keep us all separated in smaller groups - or even alone? What's the point in it?
[they're not exactly going to get more indulgences done this way - especially not the two of them.
unless it could come to a fight...? but why bother harming them all now anyway]
no subject
he opens one of the snacks that mineo brought and chews on it, taking the time to just think. ]
Okay. Something is most likely happening that's different than usual. Could someone have triggered something? A security system?
