Betrayal at House on the Hill

[ You sleep, the ground cold beneath your cheek. The ground is hard as stone, cold marble beneath a fine layer of dust that doesn't come anywhere near acting as a cushion. The dust stirs with your breathing.

[return from the ballroom! relieved that the bugs were fake while also unnerved by how real they felt. this is why she hates all magic things, ever.

taking a moment to smooth her hair and resettle her clothes and, most crucially, calm her nerves.

looking around the shards of marble -- are there any that look like they'd be suitable to use as a weapon?]

[well, she does wear gloves. so she picks up a daggerlike shard with her left hand, the demon one that doesn't feel that much anymore, and uses it to try and chop a strip off her skirt so she can wrap it around one end to make a rough "handle" that way]

[A filth-covered clown in a spooky mask rushes down the stairs, carrying a doctor's bag. He pauses when he sees her.]
runawaystory: HA (flight or flight?)

[on the one hand, she should probably be relieved to find another person. on the other hand, filth-covered clown in a spooky mask.]

...Um. Hello? Do you know where everyone else is?

[Putting on a fearful voice:]

They're upstairs. Something really bad is going on — you should hurry!

[quickly finishing wrapping her "dagger"]

What? What happened?

[GASP!]

There's r-r-rats! Like, everywhere!
runawaystory: HA (done with this shit)

[personal profile] runawaystory 2016-11-20 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed. Where'd they come from?
court_chesster: (84)

[personal profile] court_chesster 2016-11-20 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Somewhere upstairs. That's why I'm running away from there!
runawaystory: HA (reporter at large)

[personal profile] runawaystory 2016-11-20 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're too late; they're already down here.
court_chesster: (5)

[personal profile] court_chesster 2016-11-20 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nowaynowaynoway! I'm sure there are less down there! There have to be!

[Heads for the door.]

[just watching him for now. and also listening for sounds elsewhere in the house. it doesn't sound like something horrible is happening upstairs...]

I've only seen two so far, so maybe?
court_chesster: (89)

[personal profile] court_chesster 2016-11-20 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect. Good luck up there!

[Not waiting for her approval before going into the room with the coal chute.]
runawaystory: HA (done with this shit)

[personal profile] runawaystory 2016-11-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ok. well.

she would feel weird not heading up now, so, up the stairs she goes.]
