[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

[times she wished she had her slightly-more-than-human strength: right now.

PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT]

[IT MOVES. . . SLIGHTLY]

[It may take more than one person to move it all of the way, though]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

[she huffs and stands up, then calls over to anyone who'll listen]

I could use some help moving this.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

[IMMEDIATELY COMING OVER.]

A-Ah . . .

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

[that sure is some blood]

Are you at all familiar with this place?

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

The billiards hall . . . mm, I've been here before, but I don't know where this goes.

[TRYING HARD NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE BLOOD.]

Do you need help moving it?

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

Mm . . . it is too heavy for me to move myself.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

Okay, let's see . . .

[GETTING INTO POSITION]

I found a key, by the way. Behind the portrait.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

Ah - good. Do you think it goes to that door?

[also getting into position] On three?

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

I think so!

[Into position!] Three, two—

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

One!

[let's move this drink shelf!]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[likebigboats]

[was going to try moving it, but if these two can...she'll sit back and sip lemonade while they do]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[carptricks]

[Aoko and Clover can move the shelf a few more inches. . . but it looks like they could use a third source of muscle]

[Meanwhile, Callie gets a memory of young Kaito and Aoko playing out on the playground together-- and young Kaito flipping Aoko's skirt to peek at her (white) panties. They're about ten in this memory]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[likebigboats]

[Snorting some lemonade and choking because OH GOD MUST LAUGH]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

[REALLY CALLIE]

Some help would be nice, Callie!

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[likebigboats]

[YEP]

[Coughing and wiping her mouth before coming to help.]

Don't worry about me, just choking.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

Did you feel something weird?

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[likebigboats]

No, no, nothing terribly unusual. Just getting a look at someone's panties.

The usual.

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

[. . . chokes]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[likebigboats]

You see? It's not just me.

[Meanwhile, she's in position!]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

I am going to kill that stupid boy!!

[Ready to push again, though!]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[hyanaimne]

. . . one, two, three . . .

[can we move this now]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[carptricks]

[yes, you can!]

[After some backbreaking pushing, you manage to push the drink shelf aside to reveal. . . another door. The blood trail continues all the way up to said door, stopping at its base. Whatever was bleeding out here must have been dragged inside]

[This door has no markings on it, but it's secured with chains and padlocks. Seven padlocks, to be precise]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[clocksandroses]

I-I wonder if we can pick them . . .

[Gingerly moving to examine the locks.]

Re: HEART AND SMILE (CLOVER)

[carptricks]

[They're. . . pretty heavy duty locks. Not something that could be picked easily]
