RUGGIE: Ruggie can steal whatever tools he pleases! They're all super old and rusty, though. Actual usefulness is questionable. There are no hidden passages or rooms. Cleaning the area gives him an unexplainable shiver down his spine, and the feeling that someone is watching him and DISAPPROVING. Maybe they like it messy! Don't touch their stuff!!
Throne/pillory will be addressed last!
KAITO: Sometimes, Kaito will be able to hear spooky ghost noises that are definitely not coming from Ruggie. . . though they do seem to echo Ruggie's spookiness quite well!! Kaito will be the only one able to hear them. Sometimes, they are followed by a brief and short spooky giggle.
Pillory will be addressed last!
ACE: Ace is wise. He will get the same shivering and "being watched" feeling as Ruggie when he starts to clean. Also, every picture taken in this room will have this creature photobombing everyone, often posing behind people and giving them bunny ears or otherwise making stupid faces at the camera. Characters will only notice this when looking at the photos on their phones; nobody ever actually sees this lady in person. Weird??
NOBARA: None of the tools are good enough to use :( But she can find some rusted, bent nails. HAMMER YOUR HEART OUT, NOBARA.
PILLORY/THRONE: Kaito goes into the pillory and immediately gets locked in. WAY TO GO, KAITO!! Any attempts at breaking him out will fail; the lock seems to be magically reinforced, and the wood– despite being old and rotted– is super strong.
Eventually, when either Nobara or Ruggie touch the throne, laughter will echo throughout the torture chamber and a sexy demon lady will appear. She'll fold her arms on the back of the throne and rest her chin on same, eyes glistening with mischief as she teases Kaito for getting stuck. She'll call herself "The Woman who Brings Ruin" and will answer no questions about where the group is or anything else. However, she will say she can release Kaito. . . for a price!! And she is most interested in seeing what the group has to offer.
