[...sits up and carefully untangles his legs, looking around... what he can see of the architecture feels familiar, but it's hard to make out with the flowers exactly why.
[ Of all the plants in the room, the ones here are the thickest and most numerous. All of them are the bright yellow variety, with their dark-colored spots.
There are several photos lined up neatly, despite the plants clinging to them. However, the plants make seeing the individuals in the pictures difficult; crowding their faces as if they’re trying to get at the real thing somehow. They’ve caused those parts of the pictures to become somewhat discolored and faint. There are photos of family, of friends and of co-workers.
It feels like… if left to their own devices, these plants will completely eat away at these photos, until Serenity is the only one left in them. ]
[ They can be cleared by force-- rather easily. But that feeling will only get worse the longer he's in contact with them.
As he keeps in contact with them, it will become increasingly obvious that the thing it is after is a particular bond. An emotional link it seeks to destroy.
But hey! The photos are cleared off! And you will see that they are pictures of Serenity with people from back home! Her friends, family, and... some people he knows very well-- the S.S.S. ]
[don't torch the flowers don't torch the flowers don't torch anything in towee's heart--
he lets go as soon as he can, and focuses on the photos.]
...Huh. Guess that's why.
[thanks for elaborating, randy. but he makes sure the photos are upright and nicely arranged and flower free, then steps back to peek into the bathroom.]
There is also an envelope next to the flowers, but it hasn't been taken by flowers yet. It's sealed up on purpose, most likely to keep it safe.
The bathroom on the other hand-- is fairly flower free for a change! But then, that's likely because there's not much personal in here. A few cute towels, standard hygiene products.
Almost as if on cue though, something in the bedroom starts beeping. ]
On the bedside table there are a few items yet untouched by the flowers, including a device specially fitted for you. Next to the device is a wallet. And underneath both of these items is a neatly folded map of what one would hope is your current location. If he didn't recognize it before, the map should make it clear. ]
[ First, the ARCUS II has a message, special for you--
I’m sure you’ve already noticed, but things are pretty not great right now. And saying “please don’t worry about me” probably won’t help if you’ve already come this far. I’d rather you didn’t put yourself in any more danger than you had to, but-- since I can’t guarantee you’ll do that… I prepared this for you.
Hey Randy. If you’re reading this then… I guess I got you involved too. I’m really sorry for causing so much trouble. I’m doing everything I can to get things under control right now, but at this point it’s starting to feel like a losing battle.
Because you’re someone special to me, there’s an even greater risk that whatever’s inside me is going to try that much harder to come for you.
Please don’t do anything reckless for me. I need you safe.
So I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you stay that way, at least until I can get you all out of here. I can’t get to where you all are right now, but I can make sure you don’t have to do this alone. ]
[ The envelope comes open easily enough. Inside you find many photos of many different Imeeji idols… all the people she has come to know and care for during her time on the show. It includes the ones she knew back home, Randy included-- but these photos are of the versions of them she's come to love even more during here time in hell. ]

Not having to do this alone, huh...
[CHECKS HIS CONTACTS?]

Re: SPECIAL SUPPORT SECTION BUILDING (BEDROOM)
while he waits for him to pick up he's turning and snagging that envelope, checking if it's addressed or anything.]

he'll carefully tuck the photos back into the envelope and pocket them. it isn't safe here with the flowers.
