It probably is... It's late at night and they wouldn't want anyone to be sneaking in and stealing tests.
[ He would normally not provide this kind of example, but he knows students who would actually do that, so... Let's leave it at that. Daisuke looks around. ]
Maybe they left a window unlocked by accident? I don't know how to pick locks yet... [ Speaking of which. ]
[ with all the memory sharing going around and that stuff... he does need to talk with daisuke about that at some point, to see if they're from the same "world" or whatnot but let's focus on this first ]
But let's look around. If there's an unlocked or open window, we might be able to get in? If not, I brought things to help us unlock them.
[ meaning he brought like paper clips and hairpins. this is totally going to go well ]
Yeah. Maybe someone got clumsy about locking up today.
[ Hopefully, anyway. With how their luck is, you never know. Daisuke starts jogging to the side where there are multiple windows, large in size, all lined up. Of course, the blinds cover the windows from the inside, but he starts checking each window to see if they can be opened.
... None yet so far. Though this kind of reminds him of something. When Naegi is close enough, he asks: ]
So if there's an electronic lock, there's no way to "lockpick" it without technology, right?
[ naegi does the same, checking out each window but also looking up at the second floor ones. maybe they'll find an open one and they can somehow get through it... no one locks the windows up there, right?? who would be dumb enough to try and climb through that... ]
I don't think so. In movies, they always link up some kind of computer to the lock to hack into it and I think that makes sense.
[ Daisuke looks up at the second floor windows then looks down at himself and Naegi. They're probably one of the shorter guys in Recolle for their age. Suddenly, this idea doesn't sound so pleasant. ]
... I don't think we can reach it. It's too high up. [ Regains can't come fast enough, apparently. ]
And it's because I remembered something about me doing that easily without any tools. [ And he mutters something about how can't he do that now when it matters. ]
[ hmm, naegi thinks about it as he goes to check out more windows ]
Well, I don't know a lot about electronic locks so maybe there's a way to unlock them without a computer? Keeping it a secret makes it sound like there are some bad intentions behind it though...
[ it does sound... suspicious so ??? but here we go! naegi finds an unlocked window! tho it's... really really really stuck. they will have to really wrestle with it to get it open. ]
[ and if daisuke can't open it, there's no way that naegi can. he will try as well but his fingers will just slip from the edge of the window frame and he will nearly fall back as a result ]
It's really stuck in there...
[ of course they'd find one but it won't budge ]
Let's try lifting it together on the count of three?
[ Daisuke tries so hard to pull on this window. After all, they might not find another one that's open. He needs this window to open. He needs to get his project material. He needs this right now!!
And with a sound of a clunk, the window opens all the way, but Daisuke loses his balance from being flung. Thanks physics. ]
[ look at how excited they are about breaking into school... anyway, naegi somehow manages to keep his balance and from falling over, probably because he grabs onto the wall before he goes tumbling over, but he'll extend a hand to daisuke to help him up ]
[ naegi follows in afterwards and... yeah, this is pretty creepy. he immediately reaches into his pocket to pull out his phone to turn on its flashlight. ]
... my phone battery is at 18% so I don't know how long it'd last.
[ He quickly enters the combination and opens the locker. It has books, notebooks... the usual stuff. He gets out a posterboard though. How did that even fit in his dinky locker... who knows? ]
I know I was feeling pretty desperate, but it still feels wrong to sneak into school...
[ Daisuke isn't the type of person that gets fidgety about the mere mention of horror, but with the environment being like this, he can't help but wonder.... it is pretty spooky here. ]
Ahaha... It's not like some clowns are gonna jump out of nowhere and kidnap us. Or maybe even the wildcat mascot?
Though I do feel more like a criminal... but it was for the best!
[ can't wait until naegi remembers being trapped in a murder school and this becomes an uncomfortable moment ]
Well, as long as no one knows about this then I think we'll be okay. [ they really don't need to deal with any security guards or cops ] Will you have enough time to finish your project when we get back?
