[ ... well! that's not what dito was expecting either, but as he blinks at the ugly, fleshy creature that didn't really match the picture at all he'd painted in his mind. and he's actually okay with that, because it looks like some experimental freak of what used to be a person.

it's so goddamn ugly, and dito's going to have a lot more fun with it than he would a dog he's quickly realizing as he feels his heart skip a beat.

what he's not okay with is the lights flicking off and on all of a sudden, and dito's eyes break from the creature as he turns his head around to see who is doing it.

of course it's midori. ]

Hey, I kind of need to see the damn thing—

[ he doesn't even really get to finish bitching properly, because midori's gone and irritated it into moving more toward them. dito and his attention whip back around to the creature in question, and he takes a step back away from it almost as if he's sizing it up now that it's closer. if he has its attention, he's going to grip his spear with both hands now, pointing it at the thing in an attempt to dissuade it from getting any closer. can it even see? he thinks it's a bit annoying it doesn't have a head. he wanted to impale it there first.

he's not really paying attention to midori's time limit here, but he does want to get to the fun part, so he's going to go ahead and rush it, attempting to drive his spear dead center into the stump of where a head's supposed to be. it's got organs down there still, right? dito hopes so. ]

Hey, the hell--

[ Bonnie honestly thought it was more of the monster messing with the lights, but of course it was Midori. You're lucky she's fond of you, because boy was that both annoying and terrible on the eyes!

Speaking of, the creature looks like it's advancing... unfortunately, not towards her. Any movement she had made towards her cloak stopped, and instead she changed it to a fist pump! ]

Go, go Dito! You can do it!

@b.hood
If you could, checking the furniture nearby may have some hidden secrets (oooooor maybe the west passage!!!)!
If not, do push them behind the creature's legs when it's too focused on Dito, he is fond of prey laying on their backs! ☆

[ he would add that if it's needed that burning dito's neck until he crouches to avoid a swing if he's too greedy is fine, but that would probably cause more trouble than it's worth. as soon as ranger makes his way next to him, midori is putting away his pda back into his suit pocket.

assessing the situation, he keeps a cool head despite infuriating the monster. it'd be boring if it was too easy, so dito better thank him for that— this gets the blood pumping, so it should spray even more when he stabs his spear into it.

with his voice low, he points down the south corridor for them to check out first. his eyes migrate to ranger's to make sure he understands. ]

We'll go that way. [ with his colleague, midori will proceed walking forward as dito (and bonnie?) handle the threat in the center of the lower level. they'll be fine. ] I gave Miss Bonnie something to do, so she won't just be moral support.

[ Ranger offers a nod, immediately catching on to what Hiyori is saying. In the movies those who split up are always picked off one by one, but in the movies it's always incompetent and inexperience individuals running in blind. The same can't be said here, and so he doesn't worry.

Off they go, not down a yellow brick road, but into another dark room that could have anything at all behind it! Maybe even another monster, but he doesn't think so. Dito seems to have gotten the monster that's always hidden in the shadows. It would just get boring if they were hiding in every single room. ]

Yep, sounds like they got a handle on it. Let's see, what's behind door number one here~

[ He'll push open the door once they reach it and grope around along the wall until he finds the switch. Hiyori has had his lightswitch privileges revoked. ]

[ It could easily pass as having once having been human, and it bleeds red just as any human might as its approach is interrupted by a spear impales it with a sickening squealch. It goes in easily enough, but he'll find that it's harder to pull out as the creature's too long fingers wrap around it as it writhes and attempts to yank it out with no success. Its other too-long arm swings forward to try and catch him as it stomps forward, and hopefully Dito is quick enough to avoid it, as if he doesn't he'll find that its bite is far worse than its bite - a single punch from it is enough to leave a person with multiple broken bones.

If he didn't have its full attention before, he does now. ]

[ the only thing that's delaying dito is the fact that the goddamn squelch and the direct feeling of his spear slicing straight through is only serving to give him a shudder here. oh, he's really, really starting to get excited. he honestly can't help the fact that he's outright grinning now, or that he's starting to quietly laugh to himself even as the creature tries to use its more human features to contest against what dito's doing.

great, great. perfect, actually. dito wants to split those ugly fucking arms open and see how much they bleed, honestly.

his pupils dilate as he suddenly attempts to shove his boot straight against the creature's disgusting excuse of where a face is supposed to be. right where his spear's impaled, obviously wanting to pull his weapon out.

even as he directly notices that the thing is fighting back, and yes — he's using any momentum from his foot to push off the creature, jerking himself and his weapon away from it. it's not a perfect avoid per se (especially given the extra seconds it takes for him to yank his spear out), but dito's realizing he doesn't have the luxury of messing around here as he backs off for a second, trying to gauge this thing's attack level. ]

Fucking hell—

[ he's bitching. of course he's bitching. that's what he's good at. but he's still kind of excited here, so there's that. he's actually smiling while he's bitching this time.

at least it bleeds. dito wants more of that blood, he thinks, as he rotates his spear in his hands. ]

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon...

[ he sounds unnecessarily enthusiastic about this right now. ]

[ The problem with not having done much fighting over the past year or so is that watching Dito strike the monster, she can only feel a slight pull towards getting in there herself. The sudden appearance of blood catches her eye, delaying her reaction to the buzzing PDA she felt in her pocket. He looks like he's having so much fun, and that could be her, slicing through that monster's stomach, getting to see what makes it tick--

She's transfixed, but unfortunately, that's just going to make her feel sad!

Bonnie finally pulls out the PDA, getting a good glimpse at Midori's instructions. Checking some of the furniture out, hm? Well, if Dito has everything handled here, then that wouldn't be a terrible idea. If he doesn't, that just means she'd have to stay alert. ]

Okie! ♥ I'll give you a buzz if I find anything good, or if Dito gets his head chomped off. Whichever one's first!

[ With that show of faith stored away, it's time to get a glimpse of some of these couches... or at least, at what could be under them. It wouldn't take much for her to move any of them after all, even if she may scratch up the floor beneath it. Time to check for secrets! ]

[ It's far above what a normal human would be capable of, enough to warrant the complaints and curses, but with some effort Dito will manage to avoid losing any pieces to its snapping maw. The creature's chest expands and constricts as its jaws open and close, making it difficult to maintain proper footing, but he'll manage to get his spear back. Blood spurts freely from the wound, decorating the floor and nearby furniture with a vibrant red, but while it's a hideous sight it doesn't seem to to have taken much damage.

From watching its movements thus far, Dito might be able to garner that it's powerful, sturdy, and has a high pain tolerance; however, these features all seem to be intended to compensate for the fact that its massive and disproportional physique make it slow and clumsy when compared to a seasoned fighter. It has spatial awareness despite its lack of eyes and ears, but it seems to act almost purely on instinct, swinging its arms out and snapping jaws that have far too many sets of razor sharp teeth.

But it's at least smart enough to know how to use the materials around it, as rather than immediately approach, it'll grab a nearby sofa with its massive hand to fling it at Dito.

There is nothing beneath the sofas, nor is there an obvious passageway. However, a section of the wall hidden behind one of them does seem to be a bit different than the rest . There's a slight different in coloration, and if she were to tap along the area she would find it to be hollow, and from there she can probably guess that there's something hidden behind it. ]

Hmm...

[ Nothing underneath. So, they're not going down any further it seems! It would've made for a good trap for the creature if they needed it, but Dito's got it, right? He'll dodge that sofa. Probably.

Bonnie won't know unless he yells loudly, since she's now focused on that wall. It was a little too obvious that the section was different, and it doesn't take her long to go right up to it. A secret passageway'd be fun enough for her, and while it probably wasn't a good idea to split up even further... oh well!

She gives the wall a bit of a knock, searching for a sweet spot... and provided she can't find a latch or something to get the wall to open, she's not going to have to resort to straight up kicking down the wall. ]

[ The wall doesn't seem to have a latch, but fortunately there's no need to kick it down either. It's sturdy enough to stay still, but a decent push on it will reveal it to be a revolving door! She is free to abandon Dito and leave him to his fate. Efficiency. ]

[ How convenient! It saves her a bit of energy, which she'll probably need whenever Midori gets her to do something else again. Bonnie takes a second to look back at the battle going on, then again at the wall.

Mmm, she really should stick around to see how this ends. Yet again, he's no use to anybody dead.

On the other hand. ]

Hey! I'll be back, try not to die, okay? ♪

[ Efficiency indeed. Midori did ask her to search for hidden secrets, and this is as hidden and secret as it gets! So, it's time to check behind the wall. ]

[ The door leads into a pitch black room, or more specifically a hallway. The light of the lantern won't go very far here, no more than a few feet ahead, as though the darkness were absorbing it. It seems to go on endlessly no matter how far she walks, and by time that becomes apparent the way back will already be lost. But as long as she keeps moving, she'll eventually reach the door at the end - one with a proper keyhole this time.

It will open easily with one of the keys that she was given earlier, and opens to reveal a large ante chamber. The room is as dark at the hallway. It's hard to tell in the relative darkness if it's empty or if the furniture is simply hidden, but what can be seen is the sparkling green gemstone hidden in the very back of the room. ]

[ It's not long before she reaches that point, where she's unable to see the path that she just came from. Bonnie only looked back once or twice, mainly to see if anything would follow her, but it didn't seem like anything was coming. Oh well.

Once she's at the door, it takes her a second to find the keys from before... and once she's in, she looks around. Augh, there has to be some kind of light switch here as well--

Except, that's immediately ignored.

What isn't is the gem that's waiting at the back of the room, glimmering, nearly calling out to her. ]

Ohh?! How beautiful!

[ It's a present just for her! Time to press on towards that gem then, traps be damned. ]
