Fine by me. x3

The coin has spoken!


You all wake up in the front hall of a large mansion.
You do not remember what you are doing here, or why you came.

In front of you is a table full of objects.
You may only take one object with you.

You scan the table and see the following:
An old camera that prints the Polaroid immediately
An unloaded gun
A box of bullets
A candle
A box of matches
A digital clock with a key sticking out of the back
A bat
A knife
A notepad with a pencil
A bag of halloween candy
A box
A rope
A silly monster mask
A tape recorder
A ten dollar bill
A duck
A goosebumps book

Choose wisely.
No two people can have the same item.

The clock looks amazingly familiar for a reason I can't put my finger on. But I can put my finger on the clock. I take it.

I quickly pick up the camera before even looking at anything else.

Sorry about that, my mum conned me into doing dishes against my will.

The rest of the items disappear now that you have made your selection.
The duck gives an angry quack before it too blips out of existence.

The door on the opposite end of the hall opens and a small girl pokes her head out. She gestures for you all to follow before disappearing inside.

Other than that door there are two other doorways leading out of the room.
There is also a set of stairs leading up to a balcony and another set of doors on the second floor.

You choose now where your team will go.

You can split up if you so desire, but you best find out your objective before parting ways. Least one of you be left without vital information.

I look over at my comrades.Well?Which way?I don't really have the best feeling about that girl, though.

I look eagerly at the doorway leading to a balcony but I'm pulled strongly to do what I am told by the little girl.

Um,..Where do you want to go..? I say sheepishly to my friend.

"The balcony looks better. Maybe we see where we are." I suggest quickly before someone desides that it would be incredibly good idea to follow freaky children.

A flickering excitement comes from the mentioning of going to a balcony from someone else. Yes, lets do that please. I follow Rain.


[Can i call you Rain here? xD]

I follow Rainflower a bit more carefully glancing suspiciously over my shoulder at the door where the kid vanished. Matches I put in my pocket so they won´t fall off.

Because I'm lazy:
Team 1 (tally/spyrre/rain) will be using peru.
Team 2 (L/Tera) will be using salmon.
Anything directed at both teams will be in grey.
If you split ways you revert back to your default colour.
____________________________________________________________________
The two of you head into the room after the little girl.
She is drifting aimlessly around the room and as you near you are aware that she is slightly transparent.
She seems rather upset for some reason and is pacing in front of a table where a charred document lays.

She does not seem to notice you.
_____________________________________________________________________

Instead of following creepy little children you all run up the stairs towards the balcony.
The steps seem rather rickety as you scale them and dust flairs up with each pounding steps.
At the immediate top is a series of doors lining the walls that wrap around the top of the hall.
At the end of the hall are two large curtains covering a doorway leading to the outside balcony.
The wind is blowing the curtains aside and you can catch glances of the cloudy sky.

This doesn't seem quite right, but I can't put my finger on it.

I have that awful lingering sense of uncertainty that follows be everywhere but I walk carefully a few steps towards the curtains. Look, maybe we can see where we are from there?

L's check of Jost Burgi alerts her to the fact that it is nearing 8:40.
Yes, nearing.
The clock appears to be a smartass. A strangely familiar smart ass.

Tera's words cause the spectral child to give a startled jump before rushing to her side.

"P-People?! There are people h-here?"

She has an expression of mixed surprise and horror.
That is probably not a good sign.

She gets over her initial fear and her eyes glance nervously towards the documents.
"Y-Yes..No..maybe. I mean..I don't know if it is useful."

She tugs on the edge of her dress nervously trying to decide whether she should share or not.

_______________________________________________________

Spyrre passes the doors and tugs on them.
The first three doors seem capable of opening fine.
The fourth door is clearly locked.
The fifth door's knob comes off in her hand.
Each door has either a keyhole or a door crack that can be peered through.
The balcony lays further ahead.

"It's either 8:40 or it's not!" I argue to Jost, but then I look at the little girl. "There are people here. I think five of us. I could be wrong. I'm not good at math. You don't look happy to see us. Are we gunna die? I think it's a bit bothersome we're all girls. If one of us is a virgin, we may be in for a bad experience."

I get to the quick of the matter. Another character flaw.

I face-palm and smother a snicker at Bylah's blunt remark.

"Aw man...don't..um, cry." I hold out a hand towards the girl. "Would it be alright if I took a look at that journal? Thank you for showing us, I'm sure it will indeed be very helpful."

I´m a bit surprized to find the doors unlocked. I try te first door and peek inside on my way to the balcony, but won´t stop if there isn´t anything extremely interesting or threatening. The fourth door gets my interest also it being locked unlike others, and I stop trying to see inside from a hole in wood/keyhole, if possible.
"Well, it might be better to know what´t in there if you´re going to turn your back on them, right?" I reply to Rainflower, not admitting that she might have a point.

The girl nods and offers the journal to Tera.
It is flaky and the pages are torn in places.
A Polaroid is sticking out from the first pages.
A heavier page is situated at the top and seems to be made of metal.

She turns to look at L and furrows her brow.
"No. I know we came with the other group.
It was my brother and sister and I.
We went with my brother's stupid friends. They didn't tell us what we were doing and said it was for his birthday party. It was too creepy and we didn't want to play.
So we tried to get out but the door was locked and then strange things started happening."

She bit her lip and glanced fearfully out the door again.




Spyrre peers through the keyhole and the interior is completely red.
Someone must have put a piece of paper to stop prying eyes or something.
Nothing real interesting there.

The picture starts to slowly develope.
There is a small area visible through the crack.
You can see part of the interior of the room.
You can deduct that it is a library, or at least a room with many books.
Your picture captured a few books in mid fall and a strange fog on the side of a shelf.
How very strange...

I stare inquisitively at the picture for a moment before showing the others. Look guys...? I'm secretly hoping one of them will attempt to open the door so that I won't have to.

Weird, I can´t see nothing at all. Has someone plugged up the keyhole or something? Why, is there someone inside? I listen if I can hear anything glancing towards the balcony. I´m intrested to know what´s outside too, but first I want to know if there´s someone hiding. I look at Tally´s photos after moving away from the door, the falling books don´t look that intresting untill I spot the freaky mist. Eh.

The girl nods and frowns.
"W-Well first we went to the front door but then it was gone.
So we went up to the balcony but there was no way down.
We could hear doors slamming in the background but we thought it was just the other team.
They took off into the kitchen and we heard screaming.
A-And there were things outside.
And it stayed night for a long time..
I don't know..it was weird."

She paced the room nervously as she spoke.

The front cover has a series of words carved into it, but it has a heavy layer of dust covering it.
The picture seems fairly ordinary.
It shows a group of two teenage boys and a girl giving the camera a thumbs up look.
They are holding a tape recorder, some rope, a bag of candy, and have flashlights.
The especially cocky boy on the left is holding up a lit match.
They appear to be in the same hall as you all woke up in.


There seems to be a general consensus that no one wants to go in the first door.
The balcony is still wide open.
The fourth door is locked with a blocked keyhole so you cannot peer through.
The fifth door is missing it's knob because spyrre yanked it off on accident.
The second and third door remain a mystery.

I feel the hairs on my neck raise and the weight of the rope round my shoulder no longer feels so reassuring. With the sleeve of my hoodie I clean the dust off the journal cover. I also cast a sideways glance at L; "Mental note, avoid kitchen. I have no desire to be a knife block."

"Let´s leave it alone fro now. Maybe it didn´t see us." I suggest, not wanting to confront the potential ghost if I don´t have to, and begin to move slowly towards the balcony again after Tally. I´m a bit cautious because of the curtains though, I don´t want to have anything jumping on me behind them.

Would it be too late for me to join?
