[It was truly just that curiosity killed the cat, honestly. Ringo wants to snoop into all of the rooms! What if there's JRPG treasure in there?
And Nico is so nice and so chill and also seems like the sort of person who is Up For Exploration, so she grabs him from wherever he is ideally no longer suffering from garlic overdose, and tugs him towards the room.]
All we have to do is peek inside! You wanna know what's in there too, right? Then we can let everyone know what to expect when they take their special someones in there.
But... I don't think I can invite you in when I'm not in there myself. [And she can't seem to go in until she solves the captcha, or until he pulls her in with him, judging from the invisible wall she also gets when she sticks a hand out there towards the door.]
[ So they're both stopped by different invisible walls, and in order to help the other get past their invisible wall, they have to get past their own invisible wall first. But they can't do that without the other's help.
One would think this kind of issue would come up in QA testing or something. ]
Perhaps we can just peek through the doorway and consider that enough? I suppose it is fortunate we were not trying to get in for real.
[ Not that he'd object, because he has eyes and Ringo is very attractive. ]
[Right, it's like they didn't take into account their set of contestants at all this round!!!
She does laugh at that, amused by the implications.]
"Fortunate"? You think so? Should I ask--
[More about that?
Well.
They neither get the chance to peer inside nor does she get to grill him, because their five minutes are up and the floor opens up beneath them and off they go.]

breaking this in with closed stupidity to nico (closed but open to bystanders/gawkers)

the best use of a new post tbh
Oui of course! We are simply inspecting for the good of everyone!

She stops in front of the BBR door, hands on her hips.]
Right then! This should be the place. So let's see...
[Ringo reaches out to open the door and... is confronted with A Captcha on a screen in front of the door.]
... Hey, what the...?
[It is one of those really dreaded "read the words in the boxes", like so.]
no subject
Ringo... can you read what that says?
[ He's bewildered that such a thing exists anyway but he's even more curious to know if she can even solve it. ]
no subject
She just blinks, brow furrowing.]
Read... what, exactly?
[There are no words there!!]
no subject
[ Points. To the thing. ]
There is a captcha test there. You seriously cannot read it?
no subject
[?!?!?!]
Hey, what gives! This isn't funny!
no subject
[ He leans over to key in the answer. It seems to work okay since the door swings open. ]
See, nothing to it!
[ Goes to stride in and smashes into the open doorway like he’s just walked into a wall. There’s a lot of French cursing for a second, then, ]
Owwww.
no subject
[?!?!
She peers in, but... sees no wall? Just an open door?]
Nico? You okay? Did you solve the captcha wrong?
no subject
No, I surely got it right. I… I think I need someone to invite me in.
no subject
... And it clicks.]
Ooooh. Vampire. Right.
But... I don't think I can invite you in when I'm not in there myself. [And she can't seem to go in until she solves the captcha, or until he pulls her in with him, judging from the invisible wall she also gets when she sticks a hand out there towards the door.]
... Well, this is a problem.
