The screen currently reads:

Green Horse became "B U C K I N G H O R S E 3 W W Q G 6"

[FIXES THAT

and if it works, looking at the book again]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The books fade again to gray, and assuming there aren't any more poking fingers, you manage to pull the book off the shelf and get a good look at its cover.

'Secret Passageways in the Cavallone Villa'

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

... Well.

[let me try something real quick. takes the book outside the library, then screws up the password again—and goes to see if the book outside is still gray]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The book stays gray, lucky you.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[okay good. grabs it, and starts flipping through it as he walks]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There's a number of rooms upstairs, a good few of which have a hidden passageway that appears to lead... somewhere? There's another one in the room on the other side of the first floor, the one with music coming out of it.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[wait hold on that's where Hazel and that other guy are heading. Going upstairs]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

At the top of the stairs, you can see two hallways, one pure white that leads to the left and a gray-painted one that begins darkening into black at the end on the right.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

...

[starts heading down the black one, checking the book for passages]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There are doors lining the corridor to the tower, each one marked with a small nameplate on the door for past and present members of Onyx. Nearly all of the doors in this corridor are open, save one.

Following the book leads you to either Sasuke's door or... Yuri's door.

[... inhales, and goes for his own]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

[ Yuri's door is the single closed one, with a key sitting in the lock. ]

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

Convenient... [turns the key]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

The door clicks... to locked?

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

Oh, duh.

[turns it again]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

You go Yuri.

The door clicks to unlocked again; open it and you'll find a... really comfortable looking bedroom. There's a bed in the room and a long couch, the rugs on the floor look plush and comfortable too. A sword and whip hang against the wall and a couple bottles of alcohol sit on a dresser next to the bed. On an empty wall, where the book says a passage would be, is a faded and scratched out mural that looks identical to the horse tattoo on Chariot's arm.

It'd be cozy in here, and a great place to just hang out, if not for the thick layer of dust covering everything.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[well, I know what dusty rooms mean...

is there a window or a drawer in the nightstand?

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There's a single window in the room, but the view's been pretty dusted over too.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[wipes the dust off and throws it open]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There's a rather great view of the grounds outside, along with the hints of a second building behind the villa. The fresh air flowing into the room shifts away some of the dust.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[grabs the coverlet on the bed and half-throws it out the window to shake the dust off. Then putting it back and...

checking under the bed and the mattress]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

There's a collection of odd items under the bed, just little bits and pieces related to all the quests Chariot and Yuri have run together.

Re: The Villa

[edgeofjustice]

[checks under the couch and the couch cushions before heading to the mural if that doesn't yield anything]

Re: The Villa

[dramatispersonae]

Nothing in those two spots, other than other random odds and ends.

The mural's well faded now, but if you look closely at it you can see that the general shape of it is actually etched out and sticking out a little...
