[Moving to the sofa! Can Kashuu push it with one arm though...anyway, Naki's gonna try to get it in front of the door, as the sound of enemy footsteps slowly approaches from outside.]
Surely it won't be able to reach us in here! It doesn't seem like it was built for battle...
[HE CAN SURE TRY. It's slow-going, but he does eventually get it over there...]
It totally wasn't. I've seen those things handing out balloons in front of restaurants and stuff, and that's pretty much the only thing they do. [...] Buuut it's probably a good idea if we head upstairs anyway.
[That sounds so harmless...but it's trying to go on the offensive? Naki's actually trying to think of how a balloonbot could hurt anybody. While they move? Yeah, let's say he's thinking on the way up the stairs.
And then, halfway up--]
........It could crush Fox.
...Ah...not that it could reach me here. [Right? Right. He nods!]
[Nodding again! Out the window sounds like a perfectly reasonable course of action.]
Hopefully the one you're holding will bring more help than harm! Compared to the one with balloons. Speaking of which, did it hurt you at all, Kashuu-san?
[It definitely is, but Kashuu is smart enough to hold the bottom part away from him... Even if it'd really only mess up his shirt a bit.]
Nope! This little guy's definitely harmless, even if it doesn't want to be. We should still keep it locked up somewhere until the spirit in it is gone, though. It might get ideas from the one in our doorknob.
I'm glad it isn't particularly harmful, at least... [as Naki quietly makes his way inside. Freedom! Safety! A lack of anything more dangerous than doorknobs? Hopefully.
Once they're in though, he's gonna turn his attention back to the roomba and wonder--] Does it have...[what was the word] batteries?
[And now it's angrily bumping against the door. Bump bump bump...ah yes, perfectly peaceful.
Naki doesn't exactly nod in satisfaction or anything, but you can assume the sentiment's there? Anyway, he takes a look around the room (just in case there's anything else besides the doorknob that's possessed), but...everything seems quiet for now. Roomba aside.]
Victory! Our enemies this time around aren't much danger at all!
Not bad, not bad! But don't let your guard drop, either. [Which is said in a somewhat sing-songy tone, but after a brief pause, his expression shifts just a little.]
After all, that feeling at the very start - that wasn't a good one. You felt it too, right? When these guys first started appearing.
[Ah, that's right, that part was hard to miss...especially after they'd been feeling sick for so long. The fox's tail droops back down again.]
That was a terrible feeling...it's surprising to think most of our opponents have been so harmless, so far. [Which means something more dangerous is out there? Naki frowns slightly at the thought, glancing towards the door.]
[That's the general consensus Kashuu has come to, anyway... Sure, these ghosts are malevolent (if a bit inept...), but it's nowhere near the amount of Extremely Bad Feelings that he'd felt when that wall first broke.]
Mm. We should probably go out on a few more scouting missions just to make sure we haven't missed anything, but some of us should definitely stay behind with Haruji, too.

[And he'll just trot on over to the closet they keep their cleaning supplies in, drop the little menace on the floor and close the door. DONE.]
There!

[Haru shouldn't be unused to it, at least. That's how things worked back home.]
