[Shrike of Avante is looking back at you.]

[... uh. this doesn't seem to be i the right locker?

tries to see if it'll budge]

[You can move it easily.]

[time to see if he can't open Shrike's locker to find a place to put it?]

[There’s something cold and clinical about this locker. It’s storing a number of basic, sturdy swords, a little beaten with use but serviceable. A box on top of a shelf is locked shut, with no key in sight, and on the back wall there’s a little doll, pinned with enough narrow daggers to the wall that it can’t be moved. On the inside of the door there’s a poster that looks out of place: it’s one of the propaganda posters from the Hotel Lobby, taped up, and it looks like it’s covering up something else as the corner of another piece of paper is just barely peaking out.]

[oh whup brb helping Kaguya]

[ok getting back to this--

... peeling back the propaganda poster a bit to see what this other piece of paper is about?]

[The paper is a child’s drawing, brightly coloured. It shows Shrike and Kohime, smiling and holding hands. The scenery is (probably) green trees and sunshine, with a plate of what’s supposed to be spaghetti between them. They look happy, it’s been drawn with some care.]

[...

you know what.

TAKING DOWN THE PROPAGANDA POSTER.

and finding a way to get the mirror in safely.

also, taking a sword. sorry but might be needed???]

[You put a PROPAGANDA POSTER in your inventory, remove a sword, and somehow cram a mirror in there.]

[yes good.

shutting the locker door.

time to riffle through Five's locker]

[This locker is a little sparse. The inside looks like a normal locker, matching the outside decor. A bar across the middle supports a row of suits, all of them identical, clean and pressed and very proper-looking. They’re black. A shelf above has a mask sitting on it (recognizable as the one that Five has worn in his memories) and a pile of sealed envelopes sitting next to it. Above that, another shelf has a row of books, each with a generic title (“Time Travel”, “Negotiations”, “Strategy”, etc.) and bottle that looks like one of the mass-produced conbini drinks, only the liquid inside is a warm brown colour. At the bottom of the locker is a pile of knives, tossed there a little carelessly.]

[gonna get some knives from there to give to Kaguya...

... actually the rest of this one makes complete sense, so he's shutting it again.

TIME TO POKE INTENSITY'S. last one because look the man's a jerkface and he knows now Kohime goes to FiN, so...]

[Everything here is angular, the style is blunt and bold. The materials and construction inside don’t match the outside: it’s better, higher quality metal, less flimsy construction, painted in FiN’s colours rather than the Fright Zone green. The bottom of the locker is an orderly pile of weaponry: tasers, lasers, knives, guns. Above that, a silver dragon is curled, detailed and intricate in its construction, curved with its wings near the top and its head and tail pointing down around a crest. The crest looks militaristic as opposed to royal, painted in bold colours and styled with right angles, the focus of it a familiar symbol of arcing, pointed wings (the Horde symbol).

A shelf above that holds a shield, and in contrast it’s very plain and simple. Despite that, it’s of good construction, solid and reliable.

The locker looks clean and well cared for, except one very out of place thing: dozens and dozens of drawings, done by a child of maybe six or seven, randomly tacked around the locker only to a certain height (as in, anything out of reach of that same supposed child is clear). The pictures are stick-like and cartoonish, done in coloured pencil and all featuring what’s probably Intensity and Kohime doing various activities (playing with a squiggly lump that might be a dragon or a sheep, it’s unclear; in a dorm that could be FiN; smiling together under a sun and a tree; sharing what looks suspiciously like alcohol; etc.) They’re all signed “84437”.]

[... aw. this is so cute?

but also like... hm.

closing the door.

definitely doesn't want to pry too much on that one...]

[Anywhere else, boss? Those numbers might be important.]

[he's definitely going to keep those numbers in mind! because UH...

but it's probably time to mosey, so regrouping with Kaguya]
