He~h, I'm super jealous of that, you know! Upstairs is always so crowded, and now there's all these other guys too!
[ The guards!!! They don't even trust him to sleep in his room, having taken to standing guard at his bedroom door. Joke's on them, when he can just escape down here.
It's pretty shoddy work, and if anybody tried to hop down through Kano's closet floor or haul themselves up through the closet ceiling, they'll be getting hands and arms full of splinters for their trouble. Their feet, too, if Toki's not wearing shoes and decides to step inside the closet where Kano hasn't cleaned up at all. It'll take some polishing, but nothing a step stool or tiny ladder can't help. ]
Do you think a ladder will be easier than a pole? I thought sliding down a pole would be really fun~!! I dunno how to climb back up, though!!
You should just take one of the rooms down here! No one will know! I learned how to pick locks~!
[He learn to break into Kano's room, but that's information Kano doesn't need to know. The closet is currently not hazardous, as Toki is wearing shoes. Because he went to get croissants. He looks at the disappointing work and splintery wood around the hole.]
We could get a pole!
[Sure, why not? Yuya could probably climb it with no trouble. Toki's tall enough he'd spend minimal time actually touching the pole and much physical strength isn't needed. The question being, would Kano be able to get back up there himself?]
But maybe a ladder is better! Or like a rope with footholds!
[ Thanks for thinking about Kano's lack of both height and physical prowess. A ladder with footholds would probably be best, and it's something he can pull up into his side of the portal and cover up the hole when he doesn't want the other two coming up to his room, a selfish one-way passageway. ]
Hm, hmm~ Rope would do the trick, I think! I'll go out and find some later, but for now... Let's talk about expansion!!
[ He goes over to Toki's side of the room and knocks his knuckles against the wall separating this room and the next. ]
You want to like make a tunnel!? I thought you'd just take a room and use the hallway. But really, your idea makes more sense! There's guards down at the end of the hall. They use the furthest room away!
Ehh, which end of the hall? They get the RA end? Unfair...!
[ Which end is important, though, because that'll determine whether he's taking a sledgehammer to Toki's wall or Yuya's. He wants to be as far away from the guards as possible. Who's wall is getting destroyed? ]
[Because that's where the stairs and the elevator are. They need to cover the escape routes. Looks like it's Yuya's wall that gets destroyed. Or... Toki looks at the door to the bathroom that's on Yuya's side.]
Why don't you just take the connected room?
[Did he just say something smart? The end of the world is coming sooner than expected.]
[Toki opens one of the drawers in his desk and gathers lock picking things, and leaves it open. In the drawer are also various pens and markers, and a Rilakkuma wallet with around 200 euros in it. He goes to pick the lock on the other bathroom door.]
[ wth that's a cute wallet. Kano doesn't have a wallet. Sometimes he sticks bills in his boots. He can continue being a petty thief, but the notebook thumps against his legs when he turns, and he has to remind himself that if this continues, he's going to be sharing an adjoining room with a murderer. Which is fine, because on the flip side, Toki and Yuya are going to be sharing an adjoining room with a murderer too. ]
He~h, that's a fancy trick, isn't it, Toki? Did you learn other stuff too? Like hotwiring cars?
[ This new room looks exactly the same as Kano's room: empty. He immediately begins the process of shoving the two beds together, but he's weak and needs help and waves Toki over to help him. ]
[Kano's attempts to move the beds are so pathetic. Not that Toki will be any better. Instead of shoving them together, he grabs one at a corner and pulls it that way instead, for better leverage. It's slow dragging, but it's working.]
[Whether or not that wakes Yuya up, it brings the guards down the hall and pounding on the door of 204.]
Kano!
[Toki's never that loud, well sometimes, but the guards warned him about going above a certain volume several times. They aren't happy. Stefan spilled his coffee all over his new shoes at the screaming and he is especially displeased.]
[Toki could run, but he won't. He's going to let Kano escape and pretend he was the one screaming. Be free, Kano.
The door bursts open to allow Stefan into the room. He has a decibel meter and a glare. Today's second guard, Helen, follows him into the room. Helen is the worst. Toki had flirted with her the first day and she's still pissed.]
I'm sorry! It really was an emergency, though! There was the huge spider and-
[He's cut off by the Helen slamming door shut. Stefan turns to her.]
"Make a requisition for one of those spear guns tomorrow."
[ Toki is the MVP and his sacrifice will not be forgotten. Kano hesitates for just the briefest of moments, but then decides he hasn't stared at enough gross creepy spiders to be able to recreate a convincing gross creepy monstrous spider to support Toki's claims, and even if he did, he's just going to end up speared by one of the guards and that's no good.
Without a pole or ladder, the hole is out of reach so all Kano can really do is hide inside the closet with his hands clamped over his mouth and hold his breath until he hears the door slam and voices disappear. Carefully, he pokes the door open and peers outside. ]
Pssst!
[ Once he gets Toki's attention, he puts a finger to his lips and beckons him over towards the closet. Team meeting. Get in here, Toki. ]
[Toki slowly walks to the closet, making the least amount of noise possible in case there's still a guard lurking around too close outside. His whispers are not very soft.]
Because there's no one else up here but me and Yuya! They knew it wasn't him! It was pointless and if I ran, they'd be looking and they'd find the hole in the closet!
[ Kano steps onto Toki's hands and hauls himself up onto the upper floor; it takes a bit, with no upper body strength, but eventually he manages and then turns around and reaches an arm down through the hole. ]
Your concern is noted and ignored~ Now, come on, take my hand. And maybe, uh... jump as high as you can and I'll do my best.

Huh? What was that?
no subject
[Except Yuya, but he already knows about it. Toki needs to go examine Kano's work, and he heads for the closet.]
We should get like a step stool or a tiny ladder!
