Erika heart

You get the sense that you pass through a door, but it shuts immediately behind you. However, when you look back, there is nothing but a dead end wall behind you. There is carpet is lush beneath your feet, and the corners are free of dust. Except for the lack of any actual entrance, it could easily be the entranceway of a lavish mansion.

Any magical or otherwise supernatural abilities you have are disabled.

There is a narrow bed in this room, as well as a large wardrobe.. But more attention-grabbing is the rest of the room, which contains a collection of various implements that together might give a somewhat worrying impression: a large toolbox, a rack of utility knives, dull wooden stakes of various sizes, rope, strips of leather, some graters and vegetable peelers... In one corner is a cage, big enough for a person, although too short for them to stand upright in, with a heavy padlock.

Erika is sitting on the bed, testing the sharpness of a knife with a finger and giggling when it draws blood.

As you enter the room, you feel immediately weak and sluggish. It takes concerted effort to keep walking.

[I DO NOT LIKE THIS ROOM]

[giggles more]

Hello, Battler~

Nice room you've got here.

[as difficult as it is, walking over to the wardrobe and opening it]

Thank you.

[while he do that, Erika stands on the bed and drapes over his shoulders from behind]

What do you think you're doing...?

You can still open the wardrobe though. There are a few identical pink dresses, a few identical Jasper-colored Wonderland dresses, and shoes and accessories.

[...freezes]

I could ask you the same thing.

I'm not the one who's trying to look through someone else's underwear without asking, right...?

[brings her knife to the edge of his jaw]

Like I give a shit about your underwear. Sorry to disappoint, but you're not my type.

[keeping very still]

[trails the knife along his skin, cutting just a hairline scratch]

Then what are you looking for...?

[wow did you just cut Beato, that is so many kinds of not cool]

[too bad there's not a lot I can do with a knife on my throat isn't it]

We're investigating. In case you weren't aware, there's a murder mystery going on - and you're doing a great job making yourself look suspicious.

And do you walk into the bedroom of a potential murderer and rummage through her clothes right in front of her...? That's an interesting detective technique. You know, there's nothing in the Knox rules that prevents the detective being murdered.

That might be true, but I don't think you're going to kill me.

No...?

[...I dunno this seems like it might have something useful for cutting chain locks at the very least]

Oh. You sealed yourself in?

"I" didn't seal myself in, obviously. Do you think I could put tape on the opposite side of the door?

You know what I mean... Unless you're too much of a piece. I guess.

How long have you been here? ...Do you have wire cutters...?

I don't. Are you planning to cheat and cut the chain lock before the mystery is solved...?

Is that how it goes, then...

[girl I'm gonna grab you by one of your pigtails if you're draping on Battler]

[You can't grip very hard.]

[And Erika turns and lashes out with her knife.]

[--I GUESS I CAN'T DODGE VERY EASILY EITHER BUT I CAN TRY!!]

[She catches her arm with it, cutting fairly deeply, before turning back to Battler.]

So rude...! And after entering someone else's bedroom...

[ugh motherfucker]

Well, we're investigating at the moment, so why don't you answer my earlier question instead of distracting yourself...? How long have you been sealed in here? Was it consensual or nonconsensual; knowing or unknowing?

Hmm...? The length of time is hard to measure. But the one who declared herself Game Master sealed me in after I returned to my room last night. Of course, it was fine with me, since I didn't plan to leave.

What were you doing before you returned to your room? Did you see anyone else?
