[ Sora can absolutely go back to press more buttons! Unfortunately, no matter how many or which combination he tries, the ventilation system does not power back on. At this point, both Sora and Alex might start to feel a little like their heads are full of cotton... but I'm sure it's fine.
The second door, much like the first, won't open currently. But the emergency light seems to work in this one. There's an operating table in the middle with restraints on each end, surgical tools prepped next to it, and a monitor in the back. It's hard to tell through the window, but it looks like the operating table is dirty with ... something.
Hey did the roar sound a little closer? Haha anyway. ]
[ alex shakes her head slightly to try and get rid of that cotton-like feeling, and ... well. if they can't get in, they might as well move on to door three, right?
right.
or that's the plan and what she starts to do, when she hears the noise and immediately spins to motion wildly at sora. hopefully he knows what her panicked hand motions mean, but when he's close enough she'll immediately tell him: ]
[i can't believe he ruined shit by touching stuff he shouldn't have. he also shakes his own head, and now that the roaring is closer he can barely pick up on it. ope. time to go. he's dashing back toward her and sticking close with his fake shield, nodding in agreement. he does peer through the door to tree and see if he can get an idea of what kind of dirt/blood/goo is on the table.]
Check the third room. I'll grab the fourth. We're running out of time.
[so. what happens between door number three and four?]
[ The doors still do not open! Looking into door number 3 almost looks like... a small and cramped bedroom? At least, from the window itself, Alex can see there's a bed, a couch and a rug.
Sora might be deaf, but even he might realize the roar is even louder when he gets near the fourth chamber. There's a loud and sudden banging noise against the door once he gets close enough as well.
she'd love to look more but apparently they have a friend about to visit, and that banging is enough to immediately draw her attention. ]
Sora--
[ they really have to go. or find somewhere to go. oh no. she makes a beckoning motion with her arm. zia is right, there's still the walkway... and it's sort of the only place left to go. ]
[he can definitely hear it and there's a yell as whatever's inside lunges at the door. he wanted to get a better look and he tries to see inside, but alex is getting his attention.]
We gotta go. [he knows. that's bad! so let's...go to the walkway which is absolutely their only option.]
[ First of all, they have to walk rather carefully through that walkway. This would've been easier earlier, perhaps, because whatever they've been inhaling seems to have affected their balance now. It's a little like they've had too much to drink. Looking down, there does not seem to be a visible bottom to the pit...
But they get to the contraption fine. It's separated into four sections, each of them labeled with a number 1-4. There's one of those large power switches with a handle in each section. All of them, currently, are pointing down. The power is off. ]
[he's walking very slowly, and he's close to just pirouetting off of the walkway but manages to stay upright as he reaches the machine and stares at the switches.]
Must be. I think we should open the surgeon's room. There're tools in there we can use. And the third room might have some hints about what's going on. [is the monster still throwing a fit? sora's hand reaches for two.]
...we flip them on the count of three. Ready? One...two...three. [and they will flip switches 2 and 3.]
[ The banging has stopped, now that they're away, the roars more of a growl now.
It's a little like turning on a large generator, really. It rattles off a loud noise as it powers up, and the lights in both room 2 and 3 turn on completely. The doors themselves are also lit up now. Whatever mechanism wasn't working to get them to open, it looks like it was here. What a complicated set up to turn on some doors.
Two of the containers that were suspended above the walkway open once the contraption is turned on. Whatever was in it falls down to the walkway with a gross, wet noise. There's a kind of... slime? pouring from it. Nothing is moving in there, so it's easy to tell that whatever it is, viscous liquid or not, it's vaguely humanoid in shape. Both of them. ]
[ ... alex lets out a surprised sound when whatever was inside those containers just... drops, almost looking a little guilty. are they, uh... moving or are they just very.
not moving?
because if they're alive she's gonna scoot away.
also because ty wants this to be gross, they're both getting splattered up the leggies with some humanoid goop. delicious. ]
...
We need to get to those rooms. Um... the keycard. We need to try and find that keycard, don't we?
[ can she make it over the walkway? is she gonna get grabbed at? if she can she's keeping low down, even if she has to wriggle through goop. ]
[...their leggies...gross...sora's pants don't cover his ankles and part of his calves so there's a very soft "ew" as he tries to flick some goop from his legs. he's taking a closer look at the figures from a short distance, trying to see what he can spot about them before he nods and begins to backtrack with alex.]
Go to room three. I'll grab weapons for us in room two. Check everywhere for a keycard.
[...how far are they going to get across the walkway back to the rooms without the humanoids moving?]
[ Neither of them are going to get grabbed, although... once again, both subjects will stare at them with unseeing eyes. These don't seem too badly mutated, but there are still growths on their backs. And... they might not make any move towards either of them, but they're very much breathing.
So that's fun.
They make it all the way across, and both rooms open for their respective people. For Sora in room number 2... The operating room is not too dissimilar from the one on the ship. There's both blood and that purple goo left on the operating table itself, but the surgical tools are much cleaner and... at the very least, somewhat more humane. It's a series of empty syringes of varying lengths, a scalpel, and a bone saw that needs to be plugged into a wall to work. Outside of what else they could see from the window, there's also a machine with screen display for vitals which is currently connected to nothing, an on top of the overhead light there's a bendable lamp with wheels in the corner, clearly meant to be used for the bed. It's otherwise rather bare, which makes sense for an operating room. There is, however, a door to the side that leads to a short hallway that seemingly leads to the first room.
Meanwhile, Alex will have a time searching. There's a double bed in the corner of the room, a small bathroom tucked behind the entrance, a sofa opposite the bed, a surprisingly nice and clean rug on the floor, a bolted down table with a small TV on it, and a mural on one of the walls. ]
let's think about room 3 and not the breathing humanoids lying on the walkway. ceiling check is always the first thing and a look at the mural to see if there's anything interesting immediately apparent, but once that's done she's going to check the double bed -- pulling back the duvet, feeling the undersheets and the pillows in case there's anything in there.
the sofa will get the same treatment - cushions off, and patting down, looking under it to see if anything has been dropped. and the nice clean rug will get moved to check under that as well, and she'll look under the table.
out of curiosity, does the tv have a built in dvd player? ]
[there's a ceiling check from him, too, before he immediately pockets the scalpel and the syringe. can he pull the bone saw off the wall at all, like can he pick it up and carry it with him? he's also going to check if he can see under the operating table itself. he'll check out old the blood and goo is and flick the lamp on and off to see if that does anything before noticing the door.
...can he open the door? he's going to open the door to go explore really quick. he now has a few weapons, a makeshift shield, and the DVD. good job sora.]
[ There's a vent on the ceiling for both Sora and Alex! Considering what they know about the ventilation system, that probably does not feel great. And, in general, their thoughts might be starting to get scattered, speaking of the ventilation system. That's cool and fine.
Sora goes first because that's quicker: why the bone saw. It wouldn't even work. Fortunately for both of us, whatever power is connecting the saw is a little more complicated than a simple electric socket and goes straight into the wall, so unless Sora feels like ripping that apart, no saw for him. There's nothing under the operating table that wouldn't have been immediately visible for him to see because that is how operating tables work. There goo and blood are both dry on the table, though now that he's looking closer, he'll see what looks like a human tooth stuck in the dry goo. Ewww. The lamp turns on and off, but that's about all it does.
The door to room number one opens! It's still very dark in there since the power is off, but the liquid in the test tube glows enough for Sora to look. And look he probably will, since if he looks closer to those pods, he'll recognize the faces in two of them. Especially considering one of them is sort of his own! Because that's definitely Riku and Roxas's face staring emptily back at him, suspended in that mysterious glowing liquid.
Alex will find a child's small plush underneath one of the pillows on the bed. It's well worn and missing an eye, but it's there. The mural itself seems to have been done by a child as well, with the drawings more simplistic at the bottom of the wall... and getting more intricate near the top. It's the only burst of color that isn't horrible possibly alien goo in this place. There's nothing of big interest, but since she's paying attention, she'll realize the mural is covering the door to a small passageway... potentially leading to chamber 4.
There's nothing in the couch, but there's a few used crayons hidden underneath the rug. That's dangerous. Someone could eat shit on that. While she's looking under both couch and bed, though, she'll find a silver bracelet with odd circle indentations. A child's drawing is next to it. If she pulls both out, the child's drawing depicts someone wearing the bracelet with some kind of circle around them deflecting an attack. It reads "nicked it!!!".
[ well the plush is now coming with her. it's fine, she has pockets now. the mural is not getting touched because there's something that is growling and occasionally roaring in chamber 4 and alex likes not being mauled.
the drawing and the bracelet are also coming with her because finder's keepers. also is the tv displaying anything or is it just waiting for her to run into chamber 2 as fast as her little drugged legs can carry her, get the dvd from sora and run back to pop the dvd in and try to play it?
because she's gonna get started on that, running over to chamber 2 to find sora ]
I found a dvd player-- and some other things, like a bracelet and a plush doll? I--
[ oh hello. those look a lot more like people than the others did. ]
[he could have used it as a bludgeoning tool? gosh. but pretty much nothing matters because he's having trouble stringing together sentences. it takes a moment for him to even hear her because he's busy staring between the two tubes.]
Huh? Oh. [oh. he turns to face her, and for a moment he looks like he isn't sure what to say.] ...we shouldn't split up. But that DVD might be important.
[...but he turns to head that way, still keeping his head turned to watch the tubes.] ...let's see what's on it. But we have to come back. Promise me.
[if they manage to get back to the other room though, he'll pull out the DVD to try and play it.]
[ They get back to the other room fine, although Alex will recognize some people of her own in the other tubes, in similar positions. Warrick and Nic, specifically.
But I'm sure the dvd is more important so off they go!
The TV wasn't turned on or playing anything, and they put in the DVD with no difficulty. The TV is small and old, but... it might be whatever they've been inhaling continuing to take effect, but it almost feels like they're seeing what's on it personally.
There's a man in a lab coat taking up most of their field of vision. His face is obscured, though his words are crystal clear. "A disappointment. None of the subjects brought to me this time who have been injected have survived the serum intact. Mutations, irreparable neurotrauma, death... Even you. I had high hopes for you. No matter. The numbers should be high enough for the—"
The DVD didn't look damaged, but it skips here. This time, the scene depicts a young child in the bedroom they're in, drawing the mural. For Sora, this will look oddly like a younger Kairi, while Alex will see a child version of her brother. The child turns and looks grimly into the camera. They hold a finger up to their mouth, and the sound of screams and a bone saw from the room next door can be heard. They reach into their pocket and bring out what looks like an elevator keycard before pointing towards the ceiling.
The DVD skips again, and this time, it keeps flashing.
Something is killing people. It's a giant rampaging mutated monster with large claws and fangs. No, wait, it's a person? No, it's-- an alien spreading goo all over--
The DVD stops, abruptly, and the TV shows only static now. ]
... but yes, the dvd is important. let's react to seeing that. ]
--Emilio?
[ and then she's looking up at the ceiling -- is there anything up there that might indicate where the keycard is, if that's where it is? is it in the vent? how do they get the poison vent open, help ]
I... Sora, did you find any injections in that room? Didn't the note say something about a fifth subject needing further injections?
[ can she climb on the sofa and try and reach the ceiling vent if that's what she needs to be aiming for here? she has a whole 4cm on sora she can make it count. ]
also, he isn't listening because as soon as the child shows up, it's an immediate response:]
Kairi! [he kind of lunges at the tv, but he's listening carefully. after that, he's...kind of frantic? screw it, he's taking the dvd back. this is his now. what the heck?]
There were empty syringes and there was blood and that same purple stuff all over the table. [he holds up one of the syringes.] We have to get into that vent and find the keycard. But...[...no, this is his stupid-ass brain.] I have to go back for Riku and Roxas. And if that monster in the next room is the thing we just saw we need to move fast.
See if you can get the vent. I'll be right back. [and there he goes, back to the tubes to check out the other four. even if this isn't real...even if he's not thinking clearly...he has to make sure. so he approaches the tubes with riku and roxas, eyeing both of them carefully as he brings a hand up to touch the glass. is there anything off about them? how real do they look?]
[ There's nothing else on the ceiling but the vent, so... The vent opens up fairly easily once Alex pushes at it! And yes, she can use the couch. It's fine. A child allegedly climbed there somehow. The keycard isn't immediately apparent, but there's an arrow painted in the vent in glow in the dark paint. Downside: it is pointing in the direction of chamber 4. Also, taking in more of whatever they've been inhaling so directly probably isn't great. Alex's limbs will start to feel weak and heavy pretty fast. The upside is that the monster hasn't made noise in a bit!
Sora goes back to the other room, and Roxas and Riku don't look injured. They look completely real to Sora, though there's an odd glow to their unseeing eyes that isn't normally there. They don't react to him putting a hand on the glass. ]
[ well she's not going to go in the vent -- in fact she's going to drop back down and go back to the other chamber. can she walk? did she get away from the gas with enough time to retain limb movement? is it better now she's further from it? ]
[ if so, then here's the following: ]
I can't go through the vent. Whatever that smell is, it's too strong. But there's an arrow up there pointing to, um... chamber 4.
[ bad news bears. also she can now see whatever's in those tube that look like nic and worick and she's going to freeze on the spot. ]
Why-- [ ... she's silent for a moment, before clenching her fists and shaking her head. ] -- we. We need masks or something. If we're going to go through the vent. That, or we're just going to have to get chamber 4 open and go through the main door. [ which sounds like a terrible idea. ]
[ if her legs are now useless, i guess she's just going to fall in a heap on the sofa and crawl out of the door with determination. ]
[when riku and roxas don't respond to him, sora decides this means they're just sleeping and they're safe. the glow to their eyes is weird and he frowns heavily, shaking his head to try and clear it. he's still having trouble hearing alex entirely, but he gets the gist of what she's saying. i'm not sure where they are but the sofa's in room 3 so we can say she saw the tubes and then they went back.]
The monster's got the key then. I don't know if we can get back to that thing in the center to unlock it. And if we do, nothing says we'll actually get into the room before the monster comes out. [...he nods though and looks up.] Can you stand? Take it easy. I think...I've got my jacket, I can go. [he demonstrates by pulling his jacket over his nose.] If that thing breaks out of its room, we need to run.
[and with his mind made up, he's thinking this through.] There's a lamp in the operating room. It's on wheels, but maybe you can use it to hit it. [up on the sofa he goes.] Be careful. I'll be right back.
[somewhere in his confused little head he has convinced himself they really need to move, so up into the vent he goes and he tries to cover his nose. if possible, he will slowly crawl his way from the vent in room 3 and over to room 4. he'll follow the arrow but he's also being quiet, trying to see if he can look down into the room.]
[ Alex can still walk! She's physically and mentally exhausted, but she can stubborn herself into moving. She didn't stay in there too long, so it's more the overall effect from being in these rooms for so long with the ventilation system fucked up. So wild you guys did that.
Putting a jacket on his face works to make Sora's life less horrible than Alex's, though since he's stubborning his way through the vent unlike her that won't last too long. The vent to room number 4 is a little further in, but Sora might want to not bother. The keycard was in between both rooms, still in that vent. It reads [EXECUTIVE ACCESS].
Despite being next to it, the noise from room number four has completely stopped. ]

[ if her legs are now useless, i guess she's just going to fall in a heap on the sofa and crawl out of the door with determination. ]

The monster's got the key then. I don't know if we can get back to that thing in the center to unlock it. And if we do, nothing says we'll actually get into the room before the monster comes out. [...he nods though and looks up.] Can you stand? Take it easy. I think...I've got my jacket, I can go. [he demonstrates by pulling his jacket over his nose.] If that thing breaks out of its room, we need to run.
[and with his mind made up, he's thinking this through.] There's a lamp in the operating room. It's on wheels, but maybe you can use it to hit it. [up on the sofa he goes.] Be careful. I'll be right back.
[somewhere in his confused little head he has convinced himself they really need to move, so up into the vent he goes and he tries to cover his nose. if possible, he will slowly crawl his way from the vent in room 3 and over to room 4. he'll follow the arrow but he's also being quiet, trying to see if he can look down into the room.]

Putting a jacket on his face works to make Sora's life less horrible than Alex's, though since he's stubborning his way through the vent unlike her that won't last too long. The vent to room number 4 is a little further in, but Sora might want to not bother. The keycard was in between both rooms, still in that vent. It reads [EXECUTIVE ACCESS].
Despite being next to it, the noise from room number four has completely stopped. ]
