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. ]

[adsum]

[ 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. ]

flipped a coin...............

[dokkans]

[ 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. ]

west room

[adsum]

[ 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. ]

[dokkans]

[ 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. ]

[adsum]

[ Unfortunately, the hallway was empty, but the dark room seems to have something within it. She'll feel and hear what seems to be the cracking and crunching of bones under her heels as she moves along, everything from delicate finger bones to crushed in skulls. The shadows themselves seem to shift around as she does so, each step drawing another slight response, but nothing that would impede her from collecting her bounty.

What a prize it is! There are two that await her, in fact. One is a lapis lazuli, a circular precious gemstone that's just the right size to fit into the slot in front of the west arrow in the front room. But it's likely the second item that will justify her trip down here, a reward for her bravery in the form of a large fabergé egg. It's warm to the touch, but there's nothing that suggests any danger.

The skeletal hand that grabs ankle, on the other hand, may be of some concern. ]

[dokkans]

[ After the first step, she pauses for just a moment. An all too familiar crunch beneath her, and from the corner of her eye, some movement. Interesting. For the moment, she continues her focus on the treasure in front of her. Two things, even! It's too dark to really get a better look at the lapis lazuli, so she'll have to pluck that up and stash it for later.

In terms of that egg, she holds out her hands to reach for it, surprised slightly by the warmth... yet, not so much by the sudden movement and the grip on her ankle. Her voice simply drops an octave or two: ]

Hey, didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to grab someone like that?

[ Her hands come off the egg, and she swivels a bit, stamping down at the bones beneath her. Just enough time for her to prepare herself and ready her basket. ]

roll: 1... the way bonnie carrying the team fr

[adsum]

[ Stamping it is effective! There's the pleasant crack and crunching of bone shattering beneath her, and the rattling of bones as the skeletal creature makes an effort to retreat. Unfortunately this doesn't go quite as intended, and judging by the sound it seems to be struggling to get itself up and off the ground - themselves? It sounds like there might be two of them trying to disentangle from each other actually. ]

[dokkans]

Tch. Boneheads.

[ nobody's around to hear this but her. But she's still extremely proud of herself! Either way, if they're all tied up that means she'll have to make do with her initial plan! Which at this moment is grabbing hold of that egg and stuffing it into the basket, replacing it with one of her uzis.

Her goal's just to run and maybe fire back at anything following her, heading back the way she came. ]

[adsum]

[ god hears her and is proud of her, unlike the boy she's nailing it

Bonnie will be able to get out of the room without so much as a scratch! She'll be be busting a few skulls open, but while there seems to be a large number of them they're fortunately relatively weak and easily disposed of - so long as she doesn't let herself be caught and dragged down, she'll be safe. They will not leave the room. ]
