Author Notes:
...And find nothing.
It's not just absent from your room, it's gone.
You start to panic a little, until you think back--you used it to blind that one Thale-controlled police officer, back when a couple of them came after you, Michelle, and Fuse--shortly before you met Mom's red for the very first time.
...And then Fuse took the bodies to be disposed of. Somewhere.
That... sheet might have gone with them.
But! The covers on top of the bed had some of your blood, as well, plus the bottom sheet, and the mattress. You start by focusing on the covers atop the bed...
...and discover that perceiving through them is a bit difficult. The blood has soaked in pretty thoroughly, so you're getting more of the inside of the decently thick comforter than you are anything outside it.
Alright. Third time's the charm. The fitted bottom sheet.
...You can sort of perceive through it, but it's mostly buried under a pillow and the comforter. This is becoming slightly less convenient than you'd anticipated.
Still, it's blood. You craft a blood bug in the red, give it wings and bug-like pigment so it'll look normal, and you open a portal to your bed. You pop the bug through, and have it scurry out into the open to have a look around.
...Oh, right. You could have just looked through the pillow, too.
So, next idea: perceive through that lock and see if the coast is clear over there. Then make a blood bug from THAT if it's safe.
It could still be a good idea to describe the gizmo on the ceiling to the others, to see if they know what kind of opposition to expect.
Try to sneak to your parents room when camera looks in other direction and cautiously see for other spyaing equipment on the way to reds room.
P.S- I am realy greatfull to autor for creating this story becouse its hard to find masterpice like this. Ther is a lot of comics out ther but only few true pearls among them and if this is not one of them then I dont now what is. I also hope that isue from week ago is ok and you are fine.
While it's hiding there, we could still try to perceive the camera through the pillow. That way we can safely describe it to the others without risking our bug being seen.
Edit: There's actually a number of things we could do here to help our chances:
* Condense our bug into a much smaller form, like the size of an ant. It would still be able to move fairly fast and would be much harder to detect.
* +1 to aura jumps with our bug, as Skull suggested.
* Burrow into the walls. If our bug is small enough, we may be able to eat a tiny hole in the drywall that would blend in with the rest of the wall. We can even fill it in with toothpaste, or similar white bloodstuff after we go through.
Edit #2: Gigafreak brings up a good point, if we can use the blood in the lock downstairs to portal in more blood, we don't even have to do any of this.
Edit: I heard that blood was consumed, so instead:
We could unlock the basement door with the blood in the lock then send the blood bug in, lock the door, and put a blood portal in the basement so we never have to do that again.
As far a the camera is concerned, I think we should leave it; we know that the house is under surveillance, and assume it's our enemies. What ever else we could learn in the immediate, we don't want to risk letting them know that we have these sneaky infiltration techniques, nor that there is anything of note at the house. In short, use maximum sneak, minimum effort here.
We could always give it a little zap-zap, and see if it's being watched closely enough that someone would react to it being disabled. Since we are, after all, not really there.
Addendum: Kumondo makes a good point up there.
