NIGHT 026: FIRST HOUSE

|| GENERAL In the First House a trail of blood can be seen in the flickers of lightning outside the windows, leading from the stairs to the door of the Ballroom, splatters of blood that show how badly the person was wounded. The trail becomes spottier as they follow it across the room, leading down the hallway and into the Pool, there it seems as though the bleeding person made some attempt to conceal where they were going, but the occasional drip of blood can still be followed. The showers are on in the Locker Room, steam clouding the air to the point that it is difficult to see into the rooms. Those who press on will discover that Lock stands under one of the shower-heads, the water pink with blood as it drips off of him, a bloody towel has been pressed against his shoulder. He hasn’t bothered to take off his clothes, though his coat seems to be missing and his bag sits safely outside the spray. [ Back to top ] || FIRST FLOOR Shion and Nick can be found playing between quietly between the seats in the Theater, standing on their tip toes to reach the arm rests and push them up, chasing each other down the narrow rows. They laugh, though the laughter makes no sound as they run, and nothing can be heard from them but the soft patter of their feet on the floor. Both boys have been dressed in clean clothes, and though the younger of the pair still seems a little unstable on his legs, both seem to enjoy their play. Though the room appears to be safe, something else has taken up a position above them, seemingly to watch over them. It shifts between the upper seats, never coming fully into view or allowing anyone to target it. The only thing that gives it away is a faint rustling sound as it shifts position and the occasional gleam of glowing eyes in the darkness. The boys play on beneath it, seemingly oblivious to the creature's presence. The door to the Doll Bathroom is partly ajar, but remains jammed by something. The foul stench of the day has grown stronger. The food has returned in the Blue Kitchen and someone has clearly been busy in the time the house-guests were unconscious, as the room is full of freshly cooked food, waiting only for the guests to take it. The foods range rather wildly from homey to extravagant, though everything is quiet delicious. Pies of a variety of sorts sit cooling on racks, fresh, crusty loaves of bread seem to have just been taken from the oven, thick, meaty stews that fill the mouth with flavors bubble away on the stovetop, filling the room with pleasant aromas. After the famine, the house seems to have provided a feast. The Photographer’s Ghost appears in the Library tonight, and seems quite agitated with something unknown. His camera rests on the desk, freeing up his hands though he does not use them for much. He paces across the floor without pause, several pieces of furniture overturned and shoved out of the way so that he might make his passage better. While he does not attack without warrant, but he is hardly passive tonight. Those braving the room should take care not to make him angrier. The doors to the Study are solidly locked, and the faint sound of someone weeping can be heard through the door. [ Back to top ] || SECOND FLOOR In the Trophy Room the Mute Ghost Girl has taken up a position just beneath one of the trophy heads, her arms curled around her legs and her eyes tightly closed. Something is clasped tightly in her left hand, and her lips move ceaselessly as though she prays for some sort of aid. Anyone who steps too close to her will find that she vanishes from view, reappearing behind them in the doorway, eyes fixed and staring. She holds her hand out as if to show them something, her eyes sad. Her lips move, but the words sound as though they come from a great distance, barely decipherable as words. She grows increasingly agitated as they go on not understanding her, lips moving quickly as though she is trying to impart the message. She speaks once, clearly, saying only "I found it" before she vanishes again from view. She will not reappear to those that have seen her. Someone – or something – sits on the bed in the Red Bedroom. The figure is almost entirely transparent, and presents itself only as a vague outline; a suggestion of presence rather than something fully manifested. Its leans in such a way that it seems to be resting its face in its hands. It will not speak or move. The Student Bedroom, while safe tonight, remains unpleasant. Waves of sickness and nausea overcome any who stay in here for more than an hour or so. This feeling spreads eventually to their skull and eyes, vision blurring at the edges as if the events of the day might come to pass. This never does occur, but it always feels as if blindness is right about to seize them. Hanging above the very top step of the Gallery Staircase is a noose. Something else seems to linger here, and those who pause on the stairs and listen will feel as though someone else is standing right next to them. The presence does not speak to them, but anyone who touches the rope or leans forward on the stairs as though they might fall will find themselves being grabbed by the arm and pulled to the dubious safety of the Attic. Don does not appear as the Art Enthusiast tonight, though he does not seem quite himself. Instead of in the Art Gallery proper, he stands at the top of the stairs, very near the steps, staring morosely at the noose. At times he reaches out as if he might touch the knotted rope, but he never quite dares. [ Back to top ] || BASEMENT The Basement is full of Chestmouth Monsters. [ Back to top ] || GARDENER'S WING In the Small Kitchen, someone has been busy as well. Two small baked chickens sit on a drip pan, skin crispy and meat flavorful. Bowls of mashed potatoes and two pies with their labels pealed off take up the rest of the room on the counters. Fresh vegetables, clearly picked from the plants occupying the room outside, have been made into a salad and grilled to sit on the side of the tiny meal. Though the meal is much less extravagant than the one downstairs, it seems much more honest in its making, clearly created for both taste and to sustain. [ Back to top ] || ATTIC The construction seems unusually loud on the other side of the boarded up door in the Attic, there will be no peace to be found for the dead here. Shipping crates have been packed neatly against the wall, though their contents have been removed and only packing materials remains. [ Back to top ] || THREAT DOWN 1. Front Door 2. Entry Way 3.
