You know what?
With the whole duel and shit, I realized something.
What? You think I realized that I need therapy? Pffft, no, never SHALL I ADMIT IT! I DON'T NEED THERAPY!
GET AWAY FROM ME DEMON!
No, that's not it.
My hands come under, well, more like beside my torso. Said torso who's on the ground, belly down. Pushing myself, and my head closer, I look straight at the white material in front of me. It looks like...tiles.
But without the indentations. It's just straight glossy white, everywhere.
What I realized is that I don't use inspect nearly enough.
Like litterally I don't!
My eyes focus on the white material, my sight become blurry. I blink. And I focus back on the wall again, opening my pupils as hard as I can. Just looking at it. Doing my best balrow imitation.
I mean, I want information.
I really want a lot of it. So like...why don't I use the litteral tool that give me information?
Because it gives me more questions that answers sometimes? Yes, maybe. Buuut! That's not an excuse.
My eyes are focused. My breathing is steady. My nose is slammed against the weird tile thing, I want to know more about it. Tell me everything, why is it white, why is it like that, why why why, inspect, inspect, inspect.
.....10 seconds later.
It doesn't work.
"L...Ludger?" My head detach itself to look behind me at the short girl, standing behind me. "Oh hello there jenna, what bring you here?"
You thought it was Annie when I said short right? Well no! Annie is mouse sized, not short girl sized.
She open her mouth like a fish before scrunching her lips and just point at me, and what's in front of me. "Why, are you....lying down? In the side of the room? And staring at a wall?"
Hmm, well, when you say it like that I sound like a creep.
Not cool
Looking around the safe room, the artificial sun above us is still high up. And everyone is just doing their own things, balrow and malfoy have gone outside to do something.
And mousy? No idea.
Anyway, do I look weird? Maybe. Do you think it's weird to lie down at stare at the corner of a wall?
"That's a great question jenna"
She look at me and smile, her eyebrows showing that she don't know if she should be confused or happy of the compliment "thank..?"
Putting my elbow, left one. On the ground and using it to support my head, I keep looking over my shoulder at jenna "why are you curious about it?"
She look at me with those eyes. Those eyes that are like. Screaming. 'AM I THE WEIRD ONE TO ASK THIS QUESTION WHEN I ASK THAT!?' "Because...that's.." She fumble with her hands, trying to figure out a nice way to say I'm being weird as fuck "that's not something you usually do"
AND SAAAAAVE! She'll be great at corporate speaking.
"Well, jenna, to this I'll ask you a question. Do you use your inspect a lot?"
She raise an eyebrow "inspect?" She blink "oh this, oh right...uh, no. Not really"
Since I have one hand busy under my chin I slam my free hand on the ground to clap. "EXACTLY!" fuck, my hand hurt.
"You don't, I don't, nobody do."
"But like" my hand under my chin go back to the ground as I stare at the wall "think about it jenna, if we got the inspect skill. In a tutorial. A tutorial. It should be useful, we need to learn about it"
I can hear shifting behind me, and some scratching "well, I get it. But...why the wall?"
Hmm, I get it, she's thinking that I'm being over the top.
"Remember the second step of the tutorial? The small thing were we needed to find the next room?" A small mumble behind me "oh I get it"
Yeah, yeah she get it. We needed to find a fucking random grove on the wall, fucking ridiculous.
Well I'm looking at the wall because of this and the weird lightening.
Thought that I could figure out what's wrong with the lightening there, but no luck yet.
The shifting behind me get closer, so close it's beside me, and soon enough a turn of my head reveal jenna sitting beside me.
"So, what did you find already?" I look at her, my lips get up in a cocky, arrogant, sure, confident, awesome, super cool, super proud smile. "Nothing."
She look at me....and nod? Kinda, it look like she was gonna nod but she stopped and just moved her head around, clearly not expecting that. "Oh...alright, that's.."
I jump to my butt "that's pathetic, but that's weird!" She look at me and turn her head to the side "why?"
Why!? Did she dare say me why!? "Because nothing, litterally nothing react to inspect in here!"
Like genuinely, I tried lots of things.
She stop for a second, her fingers freeze mid air "really?"
Yes really! "Well there is the water bottle and shit but like, look! Come here" pushing myself up I turn around and start walking toward one of the bed, the sounds of footsteps behind me is clear.
When I reach my bed, I punch it.
She look at my punch before looking at my face. "Uh.."
I punch it again "inspect it!"
She look at the bed and focus.
I'll give her 3 seconds.
1...2
Whatever you got two "any results?"
She look at me "no?" She's asking like she don't know if that was the answer I wanted.
That's the answer I wanted! "Exactly!"
Grabbing the blanket I lift it up and wave it in front of her face "try it!"
She try it.
"Nothing?"
Exa-fucking-lly "EXACTLY!" The blanket go flying on my bed again as I take THE one and only water bottle out.
"This has a description, you know it"
She nod.
I nod at her by sheer repetition "so why, the water bottle has one and not the bed?"
She blink at me "I don't know? It's too big?" My head turn at her with the biggest eyes ever "was the groove, the entire wall it was on too big?" She blink "....yes"
I nod at her before putting the water bottle back "see? That's why it doesn't make sense" she nod before saying something "maybe it really was too big though? I mean, what we searched was a small groove, not the wall."
Turning my head back to look at her, I frown, bending down I take one of my shoes off and look at it.
TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! INSPECT INSPECT INSPECT!
Jenna just look at me as I stare at the shoe like it's my worst ennemy for 5 whole second, not interupting, just looking at me.
Alright.
I put my shoe back on and look at her again.
"Nothing"
She scratch her cheek "ah...uh, maybe it need to be a system thing?"
My eyebrow raise maybe?
Maybe not?
I don't know, uh, well we can try I guess.
Doubt it will work but, maybe.
Taking my spear out in front of her eyes, she see me grab it and look at it for a while.
LISTEN TO ME SYSTEM! I'M GETTING SICK OF IT!
SHOW ME THE TRUTH!
INSPECT!
INSPECT!
INSPECT!
...
Well shi-!
[Spear:]
What the fuck!?
