Okay, if this is a fake cabinet I'm burnin' the entire thing to the ground because that is a useless feat of architecture that should not be allowed to exist. What next, false doors? What a waste of space.

[ it's probably jammed, and he stops tugging to peer closer to try to see if he can figure it out without having to kick it open or use his sword or something stupid. ]

If we're going to be gettin' into stupid household things, why not secret passages? I could get behind that. We could have an entire Scooby Doo sequence openin' and slamming doors while jazz plays in the background. Presumably with one of us finding a monster who is actually some adult weirdo in a mask who brought us here or yadda yadda yadda.

[windeity]

A waste of space but also it would fit in with the rest of the weird bullshit here.

[A beat.] I could definitely provide the background music on that one, at least. But where are we going to get a dog?

[parodeity]

Yeah, Okuyasu mentioned your piano. [ he gives up on the cabinet after a minute or two more. ] And I only know where to get a cat or a bird?

[windeity]

Yeah. Not sure what it's doing here, but I have it. [He squints at the cabinet.] Do you think Jade would be Scooby if we ever felt like it?

[parodeity]

Ughhh I am not sure I want to ask her to play a dog part. The whole evil barking thing kind of sticks in your head??

[windeity]

Good point. [Yikes.] Jokes aside, if this is locked now maybe you're onto the Scooby Doo idea. Like a hidden latch or something?

[parodeity]

You want to give it a go? [ he steps aside enough so john can though jOHN CAN PROBABLY POP IT OPEN ]

[windeity]

[...shrug.] Why not? [He'll approach the cabinet, fingers around the door and digging in to pull on it. The cabinet door doesn't budge much, but just a little.] If it's stuck like this, maybe that means there is something really cool inside.

[parodeity]

Okay, now you're just getting your hopes up only to inevitably be let down by like, mold-ridden clothes.

[ but maybe there is something really cool inside! ]

[windeity]

Not sure how I feel about mold-ridden clothes. Can we even get rid of mold? [Pryyyyying. Let him be hopeful!!]

[parodeity]

Uh...wash them and pray for the best? That said, none of the clothes I've found have been any more tempting than magically comfortable and clean pajamas. So like.

[windeity]

Yeah, the stuff Minato and I found were kind of lame, too. I like the whole self-cleaning part of the pajamas. [Pullling! And the cabinet pops open!] Dude, I got it!

[parodeity]

I loosened it for you. [ he definitely did not. ]

[windeity]

Yeah, I know. Thanks for that! [He definitely knows Dave did not, but whatever. He'll pry open the cabinet and out falls...

...a bunch of clothes. But at least they aren't moldy? There's also a small tool kit.]

This is definitely not that exciting.

[parodeity]

[ thanks for humoring him, john. ]

What's in the kit? [ he knows fuck all about most tools but ] I feel like the clothes are useless when we're not gonna do a fashion show.

[windeity]

Uh...[Give him a second to pry it open.] It looks like a hammer, a screwdriver, and some rusty pliers. Not bad I guess. [Not that he knows how to use some of these entirely but whatever.] Did you want to do a fashion show?

[parodeity]

I think it would be funny to make you do one? [ john in period clothes sounds somehow hilarious. ]

[windeity]

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. [He grins though.] Doesn't a fashion show require more than one person?

[No promises, but just saying.]

[parodeity]

I give you permission to make up alternate personalities to assist you in the fashion show.

[windeity]

I don't know how to make up alternate personalities though? I'm not good at LARPing.

[parodeity]

I am 80% sure you LARP'd us into existence.

[windeity]

That is totally different. [It's really not, given how he looks a little embarrassed.] That could have been anybody.

[parodeity]

[ dave's eyebrows lift in silent disbelief. ]

[windeity]

[He folds his arms over his chest in a challenge-stance.] You're telling me that if you saw a biologist suit in your size you wouldn't but it on? Even just out of curiosity?

[parodeity]

Dude, what if it had been somewhere nasty?? [ like. he's a cat. so. he probably would have at least investigated... ]
