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

... Great.

::She starts tracing a finger on the wall.::

[sakaki_family_values]

Now the question is whether this room will even show up for us again.
We pretty much accidently stumbled across it last time.

[danse_etoile]

... Maybe it only shows itself to those who let themselves get lost?

[sakaki_family_values]

I guess that is possible. All we can do is wander around in the direction we think it was in and see if it shows up for us.

[danse_etoile]

... Is it weird I'm not used to having someone as engaged as you, when it comes to things like that?

::Ponders.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*She looks over with a curious look*

Oh? Well I guess not everyone likes to acknowledge that there are things out there that they may not understand or can make any sense off.

[danse_etoile]

Yeah, or are too scared.

It's. Nice having... maybe ambition isn't the right word... Someone who's... action first?

[sakaki_family_values]

I've been through scarier things in my life and I'd rather take action when it's needed, instead of leaving it to someone else.

And as the Principal, it's my job to make sure I know what's going on and find the best ways to keep the students and staff here safe.

[danse_etoile]

Yes, and I appreciate you're more willing to throw hands, I think is the expression.

::Smiles.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*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::
