[Setsuna's comm is already in hovermode, but she turns back to it as Kerrigan's message interrupts Kokichi's feed on her end, and gives Kokichi an only partially apologetic moue and a shrug before setting her own video feed to broadcast to all New Hires as well.]
[One wonders if this causes any sort of annoying feedback screech or if it's just the regular level of annoying that comes with all three of them being able to hear each other thrice over simultaneously within the same room.]
[She straightens, still irritable, nudging a few pieces of candy aside with her foot.]
There was a locked trunk here. ["Was", being the operative word; the feed shows nothing so much as splintered-open painted wood to either side of where candy still spills.] It's full of ... candy. Nothing but Christmas candies. I'm hoping they were put here by Jorgmund staff in advance of 'rewarding' someone and then simply forgotten about, but under the circumstances, given this creature's preferred victims ... I doubt it.
I'm going to disassemble the bed next, just in case. I don't see anything visibly concerning, but judging by what else we've found here, looks could be deceiving.
[Also, that way, she doesn't have to be looking directly at it when either South or Kerrigan opens the sack and confirms what she already fears might be inside.]
[She moves to the side of the bed, shuffling or kicking candy out of her path, and simply hauls the mattress, sheets, duvet and all, off the bedframe, flipping it as she does so it falls upside down upon the soft duvet, now-untucked sheets falling to either side of it. She leaves the feed to notice anything immediately revealed in the process to the rest of the New Hires, turning her own attention back to the frame instead in case the removal of the mattress has exposed any secrets that might lie hidden beneath.]
