flamingprick[So you fell asleep! It's okay, that happens. Everyone's gotta sleep, after all.
But what's important here is that, instead of waking up wherever you were, you will wake up in a rather dark hallway. There are no windows, so the only light comes from the occasional chandelier hanging down from the tall ceiling, casting long shadows that may look like they're moving if you catch them out of the corner of your eye.
Despite how long this hallway is, there are only five doors in total. Two on the left, two on the right, and one right at the end of the hallway. On the left there is a simple wooden door with '1-F' written on it, and a little further down is a sliding rice paper door. On the right there is a steel gate leading to what looks like a dark forest, and then further down is a wooden door with a cross on it. The door at the end of the hall looks like it's made of gold, and there is a bloody handprint on it.
The first four doors are unlocked, but the fifth can't be opened for the time being. You also can't go backwards down the hall, it will eventually end in a solid wall.
Where do you go?]
((OOC: the first four rooms can be explored in any order, so feel free to go about this in whatever way you want! There will be differences depending on the order in which you explore things though.))

cw: suicide
Date: 2018-02-26 05:09 am (UTC)[At that, the priest pulls a pendant on a long chain off from around his neck and tosses it towards Kida.]
"You'll need that to unlock his heart. Lucky for you, I'm not gonna put you through some puzzle mumbo-jumbo."
[The memory Kida is going to see as he touches the pendant is probably enough of a challenge as it is.]

Date: 2018-02-26 07:02 am (UTC)[And that truth?
Suddenly, the church shifts a little. Everything else looks the same, but up at the front there is now a body-shaped bloodstain on the floor, one that is dried and permanently part of the wooden floor. But almost as quickly as that spot is visible, it is covered up by one of the carpets present throughout the church, hiding the unfortunate truth under it.]

Date: 2018-02-26 07:09 am (UTC)I'll be gentle with his maidenly heart then.
[ He slides the pendant into a pocket for safe keeping, finally nodding toward the small boy in the room. ]
Who's... ?

Date: 2018-02-26 07:12 am (UTC)[Yukio waves shyly.]
"You'll probably see him around, I can't imagine Rin wouldn't have his own twin lurking around in here somewhere."
no subject
Date: 2018-02-26 07:13 am (UTC)[ Giving Yukio a little finger wave. ]
The shy one?
no subject
Date: 2018-02-26 07:19 am (UTC)"Not as a teenager, no. Watch out, he's got good aim."
[Speaking of Yukio, he's frowning now and trying to look TOTALLY SERIOUS but he's life five and it just comes off as adorable. But then Yukio indicates to the door near the back of the church before speaking.]
"Nii-san is that way."

Date: 2018-02-26 07:56 am (UTC)[That will probably have more significance later on. Though it also might not be unexpected, since twin brothers and all.]

Date: 2018-02-26 08:05 am (UTC)[ Giving a salute, eyeing the door before trying to open it. ]

Date: 2018-02-26 08:30 am (UTC)But yes, he's back in the hallway again! There's the '1-F' door, the rice paper door, and the metal gate left.]
no subject
Date: 2018-02-26 08:34 am (UTC)[ Going for that '1-F' door now. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-02-26 04:09 pm (UTC)That door goes right into a pretty large classroom, one that's super-fancy and just screams 'rich school'.
There's about 30 or so students lounging around the classroom. Some are studying, but most of them are chatting with one another. Notably, only two of the students seem to notice Kevin at all. The rest continue about as if Kevin isn't there. It's probably between periods right now, since there's no teacher in the room and nobody really seems to be working.
The first boy is up by the chalkboard, looking at something on it. He does glance over at Kida when he enters the room, though, and he looks a little nervous. The other boy is lounging on a windowsill and is staring down Kida, silently daring him to do something.
So Kida can talk to either of them, or he can go look around the room and inspect stuff.]

[Meanwhile, the other boy is laughing his ass off.]
