We asked our door to open and it did when Higekiri was polite. Dick and Aizawa used a blowtorch and brute-forced it as far as I know. There doesn't seem to be a real pattern to how it works which is even more frustrating.

[fleuris]

Maybe I should threaten one.

[ gotta find a door that's into that first though. ]

There better not be any riddles - I hate those.

The rooms have puzzles inside from what I've noticed. Or, more like, things you have to figure out by putting together the pieces. Can't really threaten your way out of those. But maybe some doors are into that?

[Don't kinkshame doors, Junpei.]

[fleuris]

[ maybe some doors are in to being shamed ]

This sounds worse than Three's stupid forest.

[ grumbles, ok so she better bring someone else to figure it out ]

Quick question, are all of your sisters rulers of some weird domain or is this just a huge coincidence?

[fleuris]

[ weird domain? ]

They divided the country up into five regions, one for each of them to rule. Five had the Land of Seas, and Three ruled the Land of Forests. Why?

[crashout]

Just wondering. [Weird. But...he'll take another long sip from his glass.]

...if you manage to get into one of the doors, let me know what happens?

[fleuris]

Uh huh... right.

[ what's? so weird??? they're just different places. but this was about getting him to stop freaking out over whatever, so she'll let his squirrely brain run with whatever thoughts it gets. this time. ]

Sure. I don't know if I'll find anything useful, but I'll keep an eye out.

[crashout]

[Sometimes you just think stupid things because you're a stupid boy. It's fine.]

There's always something useful behind locked doors, Zero. Trust me. Until then...[He lifts his glass in an invisible toast.] Here's to...potentially nine hours of chasing our own tails.

[ raises her own glass. cheers, and all that. ]
