[sorry to interrupt your peace and quiet, yin yu but there's going to suddenly be furious pounds on the door of your dorm - it's probably knocking? but like, incredibly frantic and angry knocking]
—Yin Yu!
Is Tsurumaru inside - answer me! Idiot, if this is one of your stupid surprises, I'm going to knock you out!!
[ - though for all that lili's anger is coming through, there's the slightest undercurrent of worry sneaking into it. oh, i'm sure it's fine.]
[ peace? quiet??? is that what this is??? it's more like a growing sense of unease and deep, deep concern, especially because one of their cabinmates sure is missing.
lili's loud yelling of his name scares the hell out of him, though, and at least the voice is familiar. he's up and at the door immediately, his voice coming through with urgency, a bit less of his usual calm. ] Lady Lili- [ with a quick glance back to his NOTABLY CONCERNED cabinmates... ] -- he's not here. We were just discussing it.
What happened - why are you outside? [ is that ookurikara? ] Are you alright? [ maybe he can break this lock..., ]
Earlier this evening, we discussed coming back before it got too late. He mentioned going out to meet you all, and said he'd return, then left. [ he kind of hates that he can't get out there, actually!! this is the worst. there is nothing he can do, trapped in this room. ]
Lady Lili, Master Ookurikara... please be careful. Don't forget about the sleep. [ get somewhere safe. is there even anywhere? they knew the other shoe was going to drop, but hadn't they just talked about being cautious... ]
[ . . . he said he'd return, huh. lili glances over at ookurikara when he says that they ought to keep looking, though her hand lingers on the door.]
... Mm. [a beat] We were with Dimitri and Flayn. They're looking as well - but we'll reconvene. I'll - I'll sooner suffer my own punishment than let anything happen to them, so rely on me. [don't know how she can make such bold declarations, but.]
Can you get out at all? [she'll step back then - to give him room to test] If you could hear him, and come get us...
[longterm planning, and she trusts yin yu with this. though she'll step closer to ookurikara and look up at him]
Soon - if he comes back, it'd be stupid if we just kept searching all night without knowing.
[ sure enough, when lili steps back, there's the thunk sound of his shoulder ramming into the door. it repeats a couple of times; after that, the handle rattles. just to be thorough, he tests the windows, too.
but of course, this is a murdergame so no dice. how frustrating. his face pulls behind his mask on the other side of the door, into a scowl. damn it. ] I'll find a way. [ to signal her, or to get out, or both. or something. he says it with the assuredness of someone who does not fail his tasks.
(flayn is out there, too. at least she's not alone, but she's outside. the worry grips his heart like a clamp.)
ever outwardly levelheaded in a crisis, he adds. ] Even if he comes back, like this, it would be impossible to let him in. It would be best for you two to find him first. Just -- be careful of how much time has passed, and come back when you can. I'll keep watch.
[she glances back to ookurikara and - well, she's self-assured. she always is. but there's some vague worry in her eyes. to not be able to get in, and not able to get out... it certainly feels like a rather horrid thursday, doesn't it? she nods, taking one breath before her voice returns to something certain, giving out orders like she was born to do it.]
We might not have that much time.
[and she'll step back to the door - ]
We'll find him, and reconvene with Flayn and Dimitri. I'll find you tomorrow, so conserve your strength and protect those around you. You still have a job to do.
[turning back, she walks right past ookurikara even as she speaks to him, knowing he'll follow] Maybe he's with the chickens. We can check the mess hall after.
thursday, around 11:20 pm

He was with us until he left. We got up to go find him, and now we're locked out. I thought maybe he would've come here to surprise you all...
[idiot]
Ookurikara's with me. I'm not unattended.
