[ If Dito's well enough to throw a fit and tear into it like that, there's no need to worry about him. As for the other two, they don't seem to have sustained any damage at all. He checks himself over once, patting a few things and adjusting, but he can't find anything of immediate concern. It's fortunate that he was meant to be more durable than most. If he were human, he's pretty sure he'd be sitting down for awhile.

Instead he'll push himself up, placing his hands on his lower back as he pops it before walking over as though they weren't just dealing with a monster that took all four of them to take down, inspecting what's left of it from a distance away. He's not really interested in getting coated in blood splatter, but even at a glance it's easy to see that it's oddly made.. Well, that's something to be worried about later. ]

Yeppers, dead as a doornail. Nice timing on that one... Sheesh, what a pain in the ass that was.

[ He looks to Bonnie. ]

Find anything good?

[shimashima]

[ Nene Yashiro — that was her own voice, Alice realizes. Barely audible, her hushed apology must have taken some effort, for their fading conversation partner's sake. Watching Childe and Nene in the instant before it's time to complete the mirror puzzle, his expression softens. It's like seeing siblings interact, witnessing their close bond, and something in his chest feels hollow, making way for an ache.

But there's an unusual mirror to inspect further, and a lot to ponder. Alice steps closer, too, expectantly. ]

I don't want credit, I want its goddamn heart—

[ he's in the middle of saying in response, even as the others' conversation is somewhat distant to him while he's in the middle of this. he's still capable of giving a response though, even if it might be on the more unhinged side due to his tunnel vision with this sort of thing.

at least, until he spots sight of something. it causes him to pause abruptly in the middle of bringing his spear down again. in fact, he stops reacting violently altogether as he uses his spear (sunken into the flesh of the monster) to keep himself steady while he drops to his knees, almost as if something's caught his interest here.

something that isn't an organ or a gross entrail, shockingly, but nonetheless it's familiar to dito, and his first thought is that he shouldn't be finding this here and why is he finding it here and is this what happened when zero disappeared from here—

it's all questions he knows he won't be getting any answers to, but he feels oddly drawn toward the bloodless flower and he's sure as hell not leaving it there. he doesn't want anyone else to have it or see it either, so it's a rash decision when he decides to (try) and discreetly pocket it.

thankfully, there's midori's hand here, too. it looks disgusting, unlike the flower which had been pristine. it's more in line with something dito would be inherently interested in, which is good since it gives him an excuse for suddenly being all up in this thing with piqued curiosity out of nowhere.

although there's plenty of entrails in here for dito to be excited about.

he laughs lightly to himself after hearing ranger's inquiry, grabbing at the superficial hand of the other's without any care for the rupturing organs he's treating none too gently surrounding it. if more blood squirts onto him, dito finds that merely as extra fun rather than an inconvenience. ]

Sure did...

[ he mutters while he's digging it out. in the end, he'll use his spare hand gripping his spear to lift himself upright again, turning to toss midori's disgusting, viscera-laiden hand overhead toward the other. ]

Catch!

[dokkans]

[ Midori wouldn't have needed to do anything! The manager doesn't take on tasks that the rest of them need to do. Bonnie and Dito were meant to be in the trenches! Ranger just happened to get involved, that kinda thing just happens. Either way, Bonnie giggles and gives Midori a curtsy at his compliment.

Along with Midori, she decides it's best to ignore Dito for now while he's covered in viscera and blood and instead dig in her pocket once Ranger asks about her findings. If they really wanted to know about the big thing she found, then they could ask her about it later. For now, she pulls out the lapis lazuli, holding it up with a fanfare. ]

Cute, isn't it? I had to fight off a couple of skeletons for it, but I'll accept this as a fee.

[ Plus the fabrege egg. And the feeling that she's been missing for so long, striking down a gross monster. With her back turned to the absolute gross bullshit happening nearby, she asks. ]

So. What was that supposed to be? Do we need to keep any of it?

[ Collecting it seems like another Dito job, though. ]

[antitoxin]

[ he leaves ranger and bonnie to their conversation, but he does manage to glance over to what is offered up, and it's a beautiful lapis lazuli that could match the moonstone they acquired. so they conversation was on the nose, it was about obtaining more crystals to place somewhere in the room and he's pretty sure they're close by to the alters or whatever is meant to bring out their importance.

happy that he was right, his eyes drop down to dito's insistent digging, and the hesitance in his movements is odd considering he can play in a dead body. he's like a pig happy enough to roll in shit, but here he is, frozen for a moment before returning back to digging away. he noticed something pristine devoid of blood and guts, and it looked like a petal with maybe more. he didn't obtain a clear view, but there's something nice inside that he's hiding from them.

hm, he'll focus on that a bit later, because he uses midori's hand, which he catches as a cover-up. whatever requires dito to go this far to hide must be of personal importance, and it's unlike him just to not be vocal about his findings. it's partly why he's annoying, but hiyori's in a good mood, and so with his hand back in his hand, he's watching as the liquid drips onto the floor. ]

Alright, it's time to move forward, isn't it? I believe everyone has found something nice to keep? ♡

[ now if only he had a towel to wipe up the mess, he does find the fact that his hand is in this state isn't charming at all. ]

[rearranger]

Gross.

[ Midori's hand, that is, though Dito is pretty gross too. He can ignore the latter though, given that he'd be annoyed to if something had nearly just torn his head off. That said, he wonders if Midori will put the hand back on, or if they're going to be stuck with him being short one for the rest of the trip.

He places his hand on the small of his back, arching forward to pop it despite lacking the structure to properly do so. The gemstone catches his eye, however. It looks like they were right that this is nothing more than an elaborate scavenger hunt. It's a scavenger hunt that had better be worth all the trouble that they're going through. It's hardly enough to just gain a few trinkets of interest and one tor up corpse.

Ranger turns his head to glance at the monster next. ]

It looks like that guy was just the welcome wagon...Weird that something just left it here though. Anyway, that's a cute little trinket you got there.

[ It must not have much in the way of needs, unless it came in pretty recently, but that's something that they can work out later. Finally, he nods to Midori. ]

Two down, two to go, right? Should we split up again?

[ It should be fine as long as they go in pairs. ]

[adsum]

[ It reflects the normal version of the student council room. Its glow remains stable, but perhaps they're just not within the right proximity? It may be that what they're looking for is above or below them. ]

[mermaidcursed]

( if she tilts it either way does it have a strong reaction? if not... )

... Downstairs... it's the floor she... um.

[adsum]

[ It will have a stronger reaction pointing down toward the floor. ]

[silentabyss]

The floor she... oh.

[He's assuming the floor that Aiko died on or something. Could be wrong, but either way, looks like they're going downstairs.]

C'mon, then. Let's go.

[Forward march! Off they go.]

[shimashima]

The first floor, right?

[ That was the only other elevator button that they could use, after all, and now this mirror appears to be guiding them to a lower floor than the current one as well. Forward march indeed — hopefully to arrive where they need to be in search of the truth. ]

[mermaidcursed]

( nene nods with a sigh. off they go indeed, mirror in hand. )
