*The creaking sound happens again, but they're close enough to it that they can tell it's coming from behind a closed door just a little ahead on their left*

[Verdauga]

I need to stabilize this table. >_<

*Moves the record player to a less creaky spot and starts up the swing music.

"Yoooouuuur tricks won't help you now, now you're in my domain~
You see there's no way out, it's making you insane~
Stand your ground or compromise
The world will change before your eyes
It matters not what you might say
In my unending reign~

I should probably change that to a less suspicious track, hm <_<

[Kade Rivok]

*Is through inspecting the spooky, yet seemingly unhaunted, garden.  Begins climbing some nearby vines to get to a second floor window.*

[Verdauga]

*The vine feels oddly scaley, and tingles with a mild electric charge. As Kade climbs, the branches seem to angle out into empty air, the distance to the ground seeming maddeningly far.*

[Captain Wortshire]

So, is this supposed to be a party or a Scooby Doo episode?

Because if it is a party, I could bring out the DJ Booth at the back of my truck...

Or I could always use the gramaphone...

[Rillbrook the Wanderer]

*The creaking sound happens again, but they're close enough to it that they can tell it's coming from behind a closed door just a little ahead on their left*

*Oils the doors hinges to make sure they don't squeak and alert who/whatever is hidden inside*
*Listens at the door for any sound of movement or voices*

[Verdauga]

*Tries to turn the sticky doorknob, and rams my shoulder against it to open it into the hallway*

[Rillbrook the Wanderer]

*Gets hit hard by the door as it flies open, stumbling a few times before sinking into unconsciousness*

[Verdauga]

*Looks around the door, not seeing anything.*

Weird, it felt like something was.... holding it shut... but I restricted that thing to the basement, so it must be something else.

[Ally046]

O.o Oi! Verd! *slaps Verd hard*

[Rillbrook the Wanderer]

*Moans, then comes to*
Uggh what hit me? My head feels like the time I fell out of the tree

[Ally046]

"...I'll be back" *grabs the door off its hinges and swings it at Verd's noggin*

[Rillbrook the Wanderer]

O_O
*Stumbles to get up before Verd gets brained*
No no no no no
*Gently takes the door from Ally*
Really...       it's okay..    I'm fine
I'm sure it was just an accident
*Sits down leaning against the wall, head throbbing painfully*
I just need some time to recover

[Ally046]

O_O

•_•

*sits next to Rill* "You sure you're okay?"

[Rillbrook the Wanderer]

*Leans against Ally, putting his head on her shoulder*
Yeah, I'll be all right in just a moment
