Mrs. Sakaki, I'd like to request your help with something, to hopefully make sure something doesn't blow up into a larger mess.

*She laughs a little.*

Quite true. Though we'll have to see exactly what this specific situation brings us.

I like to try and resolve things a bit more peacefully these days, if I can, but if things are too dangerous and those kids are in trouble, well...

*She motions to the baseball bat*

We do have other options.

[danse_etoile]

Yes. And again, I appreciate that.

::Laughs.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*She smiles and nods.*

Now lets find this mysterious room and it's equally mysterious inhabitant.

[danse_etoile]

...

Hrm, do you feel like we're a bit lost?

::Looking around, trying to get a sense of her directions.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko glances around. They'd been talking, so she hadn't really been paying attention to where they were walking.*

Come to think of it, I don't think I recognize this corridor.

[danse_etoile]

::Looking around.::

Nor me.

... Does any of the writing look right?

::No, it looks like someone poorly understanding Japanese and trying to ape it.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*She shakes her head.*

No, it doesn't look right at all. I can barely read it.

[danse_etoile]

I'm not sure it's even legible. It's like a corridor that shouldn't be here... pretending that it's normal...

[sakaki_family_values]

You've got that right.
Hmm.

*She glances around for a door in the corridor that looks like the one they found the previous time.*

[danse_etoile]

::You see it, and it feels very disquieting and uncomfortable.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*She spots it and looks over at Asuka, gesturing at it.*

I think we found our mysterious room.
Not sure I like the feel of it though.

[danse_etoile]

Can you clarify what you mean?

[sakaki_family_values]

I'm not sure.

I guess it just feels very ominous. Uncomfortable.
So we need to proceed with caution.

[danse_etoile]

::Walks towards it slowly, the air feels so thick you could bite into it.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko walks towards it too and cautiously puts her hand on the door handle.*

Alright.

Be ready for anything.

*Bracing herself, she quietly and slowly opens the door a crack.*

::You find an anatomical model with a bust of Beethoven for a head playing a haunting melody, befitting for the coronation of a witch-queen or a demon.

The room itself, outside of where you two are and the model and the piano, feels like you can barely grasp it exists, the dimensions feel wrong, like the room is infinitesimally smaller but millions of time larger than you know it should be::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko carefully opens the door more, as quietly as she can, and tries to glance over the rest of the room for the missing students, trying to ignore the weird warped feeling of this whole area and without catching the models attention.*

[duelacademynpcs]

::You can hear the moans of what you think are students, but the room stretches too far, as if it surpasses the horizon...:

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko quietly backs up for a moment and looks over to Asuka, keeping her voice low.*

I may hear the students in there, but I can't quite tell.

I think we're going to have to confront our mysterious 'friend' about this.

[danse_etoile]

... of course.

::Readying her disk.::

[sakaki_family_values]

Alright. I'll head in first.

*Yoko takes a deep breath, before she pushes the door open fully and walks in, letting her presence be known and addressing the strange entity in front of her.*

Alright. I think we need to have a little talk.

[duelacademynpcs]

::The entity pauses playing.::

Of course, Mrs. Sakaki.

May I take a moment to put on my face?

[danse_etoile]

::What.::

Aren't you wearing. Your. Face?

[duelacademynpcs]

::The entity chuckles with the voice of an older man and younger woman.::

I mean in the same sense, as I understand it, the child-bearing members of your species do.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko raises an eyebrow, but she gives it a small nod.*

Alright. You can take a moment to do that, if you wish.
