[But those sounds make Hibiki a little nervous. Of course, when she looks around her room, she doesn't see anything. Hebika climbs onto her shoulder and rests there. Her heart is racing, though. Either Robert is playing the worst prank on her, or...
...is there something serious going on?
Feeling a little nervous, she calmly collects her teacup and her bag of snacks and heads into the next room, shutting the door behind her. From there, she walks to the stairway and down onto her first floor, the floor with her guest bedroom and laundry services...you know, probably the floor someone would try to break into if they didn't want to raise any suspicion to the occupant.
After a moment of deciding which way to go, she heads into the laundry room and shuts the door, hopping up to sit on the machine.
Her next two texts should explain everything.]
I'm in the laundry room. This is really creeping me out. It's too late for this!
[And.]
Did you really have to cut the power? This prank is going too far! I'm sorry for teasing you about Weda, just stop it!
[ he can't even finish typing that question, the notion is so absurd. also, he's awful at multitasking and texting while driving is illegal. but apparently, he also needs to rectify hibiki's view of him as being as something of a jokester. there are a lot of issues here. an actual message of importance comes through: ]
Lock the door. When I'm there, I'll knock thrice.
[ does the laundry room have a lock? he isn't sure. he needs to install one. robert's car speeds down her neighborhood; he parks it a few doors down, so as to not alert anyone watching her household. and then, gun drawn, he stealthily creeps toward the residence-- ]
[ he can't use the front door, oh no. he has to kick in a window of the bottom floor; the resulting shatter of glass is loud, but fight him. the alarm doesn't sound because, alas, no electricity.
first step, find hibiki. next check the electricity panel. and then murder the bastard(s) that had the gall to try this. the last doesn't of those don't necessarily have to be in that order. for now, he heads toward the laundry room. if he's met by no one, he'll knock thrice (and if she doesn't answer within five seconds, the door gets kicked in). ]
tries to keep this exciting lmk if this doesn't work
[Well, she lives in an apartment building, she's just fortunate enough that she can afford a two-story one. So while Robert is making his way to her, there are probably confused passers-by outside to sneak past. And she's definitely going to have pay her lessor for the fact that Robert just broke into the building.
No big deal.
Once he's inside her apartment specifically, though, things will be easier! Hibiki is sitting inside and panicking, unsure of what's really happening. At least, that had been the plan. When Robert knocks on the door of her laundry room, his fist (or glove) will get wet.
And when he opens the door, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside. The front door is locked from the inside, and for the sake of story she lives on the 4th and 5th floor of the building.
There's a thump from upstairs—where her pet rooms and bedroom are. What does Robert do?]
