[He's giving the door a suspicious look, rubbing the back of his head. Shower. Right. He should do that but not likely right away. He has a lot of thoughts rattling around in his head he has to sort.]
Yeah, I'm fine. [But more importantly.] Did you guys see what I saw when the door shut?
anyway higekiri will offer beck a smile, though it's a touch confused] Me? [a little bit like he's surprised to be considered] I'm alright, thank you for asking.
[but then for junpei, he simply nods, hands resting on the hilt of his sword again]
The room reassembled itself as if we were never there.

I would like to keep the cassette - if only to help my explanation to my younger brother. He is very reliable, so you needn't worry about him acting rashly from the information.
[but that's just what higekiri thinks]
If you return to this room, I would like to request to be present.
Higekiri has a point. We don't know what else might be behind the doors, and if we need someone to hold back something else it should be someone who knows how to fight. [He can at least acknowledge that.] We managed to get in. It's only a matter of time before the others are opened. That's how it works.
I'm heading that way, too. [But at least there's an actually polite nod to Higekiri.] We'll be alright. I'm sure Hizamaru's wondering where you are, too.
[Has he just taken to using the swords' names so Higekiri remembers every now and then? Yeah.]

[Maybe demon Beck hired a janitor. But, also:]
Are we sure they aren't following?

[...with that said, he looks at the door and sighs in a frustrated fashion.] I'm...sorry. For bringing you two into this.
[Apologies are hard but his expression can't lie too well. He genuinely feels bad about that.]

[higekiri really is the least traumatized of them all - but he does turn to beck and cross an arm over his chest before bowing in her direction]
But I am sorry that I could not protect you better.
no subject
It's not your fault. And, I mean... I'm not hurt, so you don't have to worry about it too much.
[They're just lightly traumatized. It's fine.]
no subject
I have notes and some of the drives. I'll take a second look and see if I can figure anything else out.

[because?? squishy humans???]
no subject
You don't have to worry about me returning. I'm not exactly in a rush to head back in there.
no subject
Don't worry about it, Beck. [But there's a nod to Higekiri.] I'll let you know when I head back. Maybe the monitor will work this time.
no subject
[there
that's the description of hizamaru]
But I believe moving forward, I would prefer that noncombatants have at least one person who is armed to go with them.... for all of your safety.
[he's a protective sword]

Here's hoping that the other locked room on the first floor isn't horrifying, if anyone manages to make it into that one.

I will hope so... If nothing else, please retrieve my brother or myself if you would like the additional help.
Would you like me to escort the two of you two your next destination?
[just in case they're still jumpy about demons]
no subject
I was probably going to just... head to the lounge.
[She! Needs! A drink!]

Oh! Yes, I suppose so. I'll have to go see him. Then please watch over one another, and allow me to know if you need anything else.
