[hunting]

[You feel a tug, insistent, demanding and desperate. Powerful enough that it seems it intends to rip you out of existence itself. And there is sensation of a barely restrained exasperated breath echoing in your ears you're taking too long, idiot...

Then it suddenly stops, the halted motion launching you face-first into a giving surface.]

[Feels like the thrill of the hunt!]

[:9!

er...going to start by jiggling to drawer to see if the lock is a fake or something... '-'b]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[Definitely not a fake lock. Good try though.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[welp, let's start scrolling through the letters, just trying to get a feel for how many letters are on each dial so he can limit his options for guessing...]

[though should I really be doing this if it's locked up I probably shouldn't be prying...]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[All 26 letters are on each dial. :|a]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[BUT WHY.]

[gonna. gonna give that lock a good long stare and wonder whether it's worth sticking around to try unlocking it.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[ok...I think maybe I have it...

he misspells the second word a few times but finally he inputs ZERO KIRYUU and tries the drawer]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[Before you finish: your hunger is again apparent.]

[3]

[As soon as you match the letters, you hear a tiny click.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[...........opens it?]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[Inside you'll find a Sterling key!]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[:o

touches the key]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[Do you want tiny fanfare music? Anyway, it feels warm.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[taking that out of the drawer. 'x' does anything untoward happen?]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[Nope. In fact, it sure feels like that key is yours.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[tucking that away for safekeeping! then shutting the drawer and messing up the lock so no one can guess what the solution is. 'x'

and then going over to examine that cabinet!]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[IT IS SUFFICIENTLY HIDDEN AGAIN.

The cabinet appears to be locked. Have you a key?

You might also notice that the floor here is covered in mistletoe berries and vials of red liquid, as though someone was carrying them and tripped.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[I have two keys! 'v'

but first I'm going to touch the cabinet door o/]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[It feels HOT!]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[poking one of the mistletoes with his sword]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[You feel a lot warmer and a bit... flushed.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[excuse you, Zero's heart, I do not blush.]

[not going to test the blood vials; he's going to straighten out the room and head out.]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[hunting]

[You do when you're getting feelings-slammed!

How are you straightening things?]

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[just neatening stuff out, placing them as close to their original positions as he can remember.

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

Re: AATHER (STERLING)

[deadofknight]

[shutting the door to the room behind him and surveying Sterling for any evidence of interference while he was busy.]
