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.

SKELETONS

[angelcage]

[ The abandoned bible is dusty, but if opened she'll find the pages well-read, dog-eared at parts.

She might also notice a pair of skeletons on a pew in the back, tucked into the corner of the Chapel. Unnoticeable from where she entered, from here if she looks up she can see they're mother and child, still embracing. ]

[skeletons tho]

[unsure if want]

[eyes the space between where the skeletons and the door, filled with shooty slime ghost, attempting to decide which will be more irritating to deal with right now]

[angelcage]

[ It's quiet behind the door now.

The skeletons do not move.

You could search them, to be sure. ]

[dishonestliving]

[the smart move would be to make a run out of this dead end

the move she does make is to take a somewhat closer look at the skeletons. just in case. in case they have a baby key or something, you know]

[angelcage]

[ Their hands are held tight to each other, but if you pry them apart. . . they might be holding something.

Or you could check the pockets of the mother. ]

[dishonestliving]

[ivy is much better at pickpocketing than pulling apart bones, so she'll check the pockets first.]

[angelcage]

[ She digs around in the pockets and feels. . . something wet. moldering. Still moving, even as her fingers hit bone. ]
