[Edelgard shows up, carrying a large axe, some spicy cinnamon just in case, and of course, her knife. She nods at Tenn.]
We don't know how much time we have. Let's get right to it.
[She takes the lead, violently swinging the door open. She could just break it down with a large axe, but while that would be cool as hell, it'd be very unnecessary. That door will get it's due.
Welcome to Hamelin's office! It is unoccupied and there's some changes for Tenn and Edelgard to note since the last time they've been in here. For one, there's a couch in here now (a fainting couch to be precise) with a plush blanket resting on it in a heap. The bookcases in the room also look a bit sparse, and on top of his desk are more than a few wine bottles which are empty. ]
[ As far as the bookcase goes, it's hard to tell. His books were never in order, a fact that probably haunted Nageki, so all Tenn can glean from here is that there's spaces where some books were before. What's left is a large collection of books on various fairy tales.
His desk has three compartments: one on each side and one in the center. Starting with the first one on the right side, Edelgard finds a hairbrush and a large pot of semi-used healing salve. ]
[ Do any fairy tales seem to stand out? For example, is there one story that has more variations than others? And if the Pied Piper of Hamelin tale is there, Tenn will be looking for that, too.
He'll also quickly start pulling books out and pushing them back onto the shelf. Just checking if there's anything hidden behind or between the books. ]
[ There's a few more on the Grimm family of fairytales, but overall there's a pretty good selection here. As seems to be the case in Aira Niluc, there isn't a sign of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Pulling out the books and pushing them back in unfortunately doesn't yield much either, but some of the books are dusty. ]
[ Which ones are dusty, and do any of them seem to have like...anything odd about them. Like, are there any indicators of, say, notes in any of the books that might be suspicious or something like that! ]
[ Pretty much all of them are dusty but an errant one or two about music. There's nothing off about them and no indicators about notes or anything like that. ]
[ There's only one pillow (the rolled type) because this is how fainting couches go. Aside from the plush purple blanket in a heap on the couch, which assuming Tenn shook out there's nothing in it either, he won't find anything of note. There might be a few crumbs there, but no secret notes, coins, or anything like that. ]
The hairbrush does have a few strands of long blonde hair, but that does match Hamelin's hair as it suffers from the "way too long" to fit in icons curse. As for the salve, Edelgard might recognize this as the same kind Yuri gave out to everyone several weeks back. ]
[ The middle drawer contains a bunch of sheet music, all done by hand. You might want Tenn over here unless Edelgard can read music as they're not titled. In total there are six distinct melodies. ]
[ He can, at least partially. Four of them resemble the weird melody everyone has heard every Monday morning except for the first one. Another one does not look match to anything Tenn has heard before, and it was the last one in the pile.
*Your mod can't count the last tag should read five. ]
[ There's nothing on the counter top but a few bottle of booze, alas. And as for the last drawer, it's completely empty. It must have had something in it as one point though, because it's not dusty or anything. ]

Is Hamelin here?]
no subject
So how will you make your entrance, intruders? ]
no subject
Okay. Are you good at lock-picking? Or are we breaking the door itself?
[ Well. More like Edelgard will have to break the door, but you know. ]
no subject
[She hefts her battle-axe up with a smile.
How sturdy does the lock look? Would she be able to break it with the axe or will she have to break the door itself?]

Go for it, I support this idea.

She lowers it and slams it into the wood of the door, swinging until there's enough damage for her to reach through and unlock it.
Peace was never an option!]

...Before we move to the couch, though. Uh. Tenn's going to try and sprinkle a handful of salt over the books.......how does that go....... ]

Okay, couch time. He's gonna let Edelgard handle the desk while he searches the couch for any weird things. Anything between the pillows, etc.? ]

Tenn, can you take a look at these?
[Edelgard looks up, beckoning for Tenn to come over.]
no subject
[ He goes over to Edelgard after his, uh, interesting investigation. ]
...Sheet music?
[ Well then. He's going to try to hum some of the melodies, just a little bit of each piece to try to see if he can recognize any of them. ]
no subject
*Your mod can't count the last tag should read five. ]

The first four all melodies that we've been hearing on Monday mornings. This last one... I don't know what this is.
no subject
Regardless it's troubling. We can't really say what the last one does but it can't be good.
[She frowns.]
Take it and we'll try to find out afterward.
no subject
[ He folds them up nicely and stuffs them into his jacket pocket. ]
Let's keep looking?
[ He'll get to investigating the counter top and leave the drawers to Edelgard! ]
