"Yeah, yeah sure, go first-" "We two are going together first, there's no telling what might happen, and with my fist and Brooke's trump, there's a better chance we might out run that creature, you'll follow us from the back Kei, you're in charge of searching, while we find the way" Nax says, followed by Brooke's hollow face which has 'WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?' clearly written on his face. Nax drags Brooke inside. There's a reading room on the left, a long hallway on the front, and a fireplace on the right. "Kei, get in the reading room, Brooke, try to put the fire on, i'll keep watch on the hallway" Nax ordered, and Brooke happily accepts his job, since what'll go wrong with just turning on the fire. Brooke uses his lighter, turns it on, burn one of his unused card,and trump the card into the fire, and there's a fire, along with a wincing cries *KSSSSSSSSSSS* Brooke jumps back, startled "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!?!?!??!" "Whoa, the creature actually IS scared of fire, and the creature just now is hiding on the chimney" Nax chuckled, truth to be told, he likes to see that cocky gambler get scared like this "What the hell are you laughin' at?!?" "Nah, nothing, go help Kei to search for something useful in the reading room" Brooke quickly jolts off to the reading room. It's a big room, along with 2 big bookshelf and a desk. "Errr, if you don't mind Kei, i'll search the bookshelf" Brooke says, as he scanned through one of the bookshelf

[NightMoves]

Kei followed Nax and Brooke into the hallway. He felt a little useless, being in the back. But then again, they could be attacked from behind. Everyone always thought that the people in the back were 'safe' but this wasn't true. The back was usually the place that was targeted the most. Kei followed Nax's orders and entered the reading room. Well, at least Kei was good at something. Well, he was good at a few things so it wasn't exactly fair to say 'at something' like he was good at nothing but then again there were only a few things that he could do. But one of those things had been reading. He usually spent time reading, when he wasn't writing of course. He grabbed a stack of books and placed them on the desk. He then sat down, grabbing his reading glasses out of his pocket and putting them on. He heard a strange hissing sound coming from the other room but ignored it. By the time Brooke entered the room Kei had already finished reading to stacks of books. Kei nodded at Brooke as he offered to help and went to go grab another stack of books. "So far, I have found nothing..." He sighed and sat back down. This room was almost like a small library.

[KuroSawaShirou]

Brooke is still scanning the bookshelf, looking for a map, or the book of that creature, or at least something useful. Most of the book is just a novel, useless literature, unneeded history, and some other gibberish book. Brooke don't read books that often, he read cards. Giving up on scanning the bookshelf, Brooke turns his sight to the desk "I'll scan the desk" He says to Kei. Brooke approaches the desk, it's antique. Nothing useful on the top of the desk, but he did found something that Kei would like, stationary "Hey Kei! I found some stationary here, maybe you wanna take it?" Brooke asks Kei, as he searches the drawer. "Whoa, this is something useful" Brooke found a butterfly knife "Hey! I found a butterfly knife! It's a sharp weapon!" Brooke exclaimed happily, but the smile quickly fades "Anyone can wield this? I know i can't" Brooke says, as he wave the butterfly knife. Nax walks inside the room, his face a bit pale "Hey Nax, what's up?" "It's another piece of memories, this time about my dad" Nax says, as he give the piece of paper to Brooke "I found it on the archive room, i found myself get dragged to this" Brooke reads the paper Nax held. It's about a boxing match a few years ago, the titles says about the pro boxer have a kid. It makes controversies around the world until the boxer claimed that the boxer adopted the kid. The picture clearly shows the boxer face, with a little kid on his side, which Brooke deduces as Nax "Brooke, you search the archive room" Nax says, as he get out from the reading room. Brooke finishes the search for the desk, and asks Kei "Wanna tag along?" Brooke says. In truth, he's just scared to be alone

[NightMoves]

By now Kei had read mostly everything on the bookshelf and was now surrounded by a huge wall of books. He heard Brooke say something about some stationery and a butterfly knife. Kei's mother had actually shown him how to use a butterfly knife about once or twice but he wasn't actually experienced with it. Plus, that had been a while ago so he stayed quiet. He would grab the stationery later. For now he had to keep reading. Then he heard Nax walk in. He mentioned something about memories and his father. Kei tried to get up but couldn't seeing that his leg was trapped under a pile of books. He stared at the books and suddenly yanked his leg out. As a result, all of the books tumbled down on top of Kei. "OW!" One of the books had landed on his burned arm and it had hurt...a lot. Kei slowly got out from under the books, he stood up, brushing himself off. "Yea...sure" He didn't want to be alone in here by himself. It gave him the creeps.

[KuroSawaShirou]

"I'll go back to the living room, i need another rest" Nax says, as he drags his foot back to the living room, from behind, he could easily seen as a zombie "Whoa, he's really outta juice, i guess he'll be fine, i do hope he'll wake up if another creature closes in" Brooke says to Kei, as he let him in first to the archive. It's a pile of book, paper, and blueprints "Whoa, we hit a mother-lode~ Look at all this paper! There's no doubt that we'll find some useful info!" Brooke exclaimed happily "I'll guard the entrance, you go find some useful info, i'm not good with searching. And if you see something unusual, calls out to me" Brooke says again, seems like the happiness just trampled his fear. The hallway seems to be empty, and no sign of movement, so Brooke relaxes a bit. He's already tensed up since he sees the silver shadow, and in addition, a friggin huge monster. Brooke readies his cards, so he'll be ready if a creature attacks him or Kei.


Nax lies on the couch again, also looking around, becoming wary of his surrounding. That creature could attack him anytime, and that's what he don't like. NAx quickly drifts into shallow sleep, so that he'll notice any strange sound. He also notices another girl, another boy also. 3 girl, and a boy, one of the girl seems to be the boy sister, since they looks alike. He ignores them all though, he's too tired to think.

[NightMoves]

Kei follows Brooke into the archive room and groans. It's not that he disliked reading. No, he actually loved to read. But, this was to much. He had already read through most of that big shelf in the reading room. Well, at least blueprints were easier to read than books. Kei sits down on the ground, pulling a huge pile of, what looks to be, blueprints towards him. He puts his reading glasses back on. "Most of these blueprints are to other houses" He directed towards Brooke, still shuffling through the blueprints. Then quickly stopped, one of the blueprints had caught his attention. He scanned over it in detail, his face turning pale. "This..." Kei's mouth had gone dry, he could barely speak. "This blueprint...is of my house". Now why would someone want the blueprints to his house. He flipped over the paper and saw a name written on the back. The name was his. That wasn't what bothered him though. The name was written in his handwriting.

[KuroSawaShirou]

Brooke was still looking around the hallway, when he hears Kei's exclamation "Da hell kiddo? It's your house?" Brooke approaches Kei as he take peek from Kei's shoulder. Brooke never know how Kei's house looks, but he can tell that it's his, since there's his name written on the back. "You sure this is your house?" Brooke says, as he searches the other blueprints. He searches about another pile of blueprints, and then it came to his sight. It's his house blueprint, a modern treehouse that he bought, his name also there, on the list of resident, along with the agreement contract with his signature and the broker "Da hell is this?!?!? It's my house blueprint! I'm supposed to discards it years ago!" Brooke exclaimed in disbelief, as he shows it to Kei. "There's no way this piece of paper could exist.........." Brooke says.

[NightMoves]

Kei shuffles through the blueprints, looking at all the names. It seemed that all of the guests blueprints had been taken or copied and just thrown into this room. He wondered what they were for then noticed the little red circles that were marked with an ink pen, he looked closely, then gasped. The circles were placed in hard to reach/ easily forgotten places. This meant that the red circles were most likely were cameras had been placed. There was no other explanation...these people had been watching them. Questions flooded through Kei's head. Why were they being watched? Did they do something wrong or were they just picked randomly? How long had this been going on? To many question and so far no answers. "We need to burn them" Kei said, shuffling about half of the blueprints into Brooke's arms. "Then when we get home we need to check for cameras....". He thought about his sister. As far as he knew, she could be dead or worse. Many people think that there's nothing worse than death but sadly, there was. Torture was actually one thing that was definitely worse than death. Whether it be emotional or physical, it still hurt.

[Echo-chan]

The the sight of young woman in flimsy clothes ambling down an ill-lit hallway was a rather rare sight, but in this house of terror and just pure illusions, it wouldn't be called much of an event. For the girl who had bright scarlet hair & blood-shot eyes was neither scarred nor hesitant to walk among these halls alone. She was part of its terror, but only time will tell when she'll fully reveal herself to the guests.

Her main reason of venturing so far from her bedroom was to check on her pets. "Freya dearest? Are you there?"she murmured, her voice seemingly light as feather against cold atmosphere. Rustling noises of the frightening kind could be heard, and breaths of what seemed to be a large animal just dripped in the air. Henrietta smiled, "There you are my little Freya, so how's your day? Enjoying? I can see." Henrietta couldn't help at gag at the sight of fresh blood on Freya's fur, it was fresh, meaning she just hunted down one of her guests. "Aww, now I only have 19 guests, such a shame" Her pale hands strayed over the fresh liquid that dripped allusively on the floor, her giggles were echoing just like a beast's howl, "Oh how fun this is going to be"

[Malicious]

Sayuri kicked open the panel she was hiding in. Playing around in vents was a lot of work and she didn't even get to see much. Just oohs and ah's and something about checking for cameras. Before that, it sounded like they were killing something! It might have been a bit silly of her following the others while not revealing herself but from her line of work... Always know thine target? To trick and bedevil them. Didn't that sound poetic? Her uncle always had a way with words, the prick.

She took in a deep breath. Sweet, sweet fresh oxygen and wondered how could she find the kitchen. Ehhh, she was hungry! Wasn't this place suppose to serve grub?

Sayuri softly stepped out of the vent which was located on the second floor and decided to head downstairs.

[KuroSawaShirou]

"Burning them won't be any use, i remembered burning my house blueprint since the broker got thrown in jail for selling drugs and explosive, and since i don't want my name to be tarnished, i burned the blueprint" Brooke says, in extreme disbelief, How the hell that this paper exist? "And i'm sure we won't get outta here soon, since we'll need a helicopter, or something that can get through the forest without getting hit by those creature, we don't know what's hiding in the forest........." Brooke says "And cameras? What for? I don't have any member in my house other than me-" Brooke stops, since Kei do talks about his sister "I'm sure she'll be fine, besides it's just a camera, and your house is not in a deserted and isolated place, if those monster popped out, she'll be escaping, right?" Brooke says, trying to comfort Kei

[Matsudappoiyo]

The bedroom where the three siblings were was as noisy as a busy fish market. As soon as Henrietta stepped out of the picture, Set decided to mess with G a bit. It wasn't out of revenge, but more out of boredom & mischievous ideals.

But, as uninterested as G was, it didn't last for long.

"G! Pay attention to me for once!" Set was waving his arms frantically, trying to get his brother's attention.

"Go f**** yourself" came G's response, cold as ever. And in truth, that became another manifest to Set's belief that he wasn't really related to G.

[Malicious]

Sayuri felt a chill run down her spine as she tip-toed down the staircase. Did she hear something? Uggh, Kitchen could wait... Sayuri pulled out a pack of gummy bears and chewed thoughtfully. Back through the vents, to the backyard, to where that crazed wild monster-like dog was waiting to tear her a new one or the front door. What kinda dog was that, anyway?

But her stuff was somewhere between that area. What if she wanted to break into a room or needed to sleep somewhere? She could never sleep without Mr. Usagi, her very large stuffed bunny. That dog probably didn't even know what hit him. She didn't even get a good look at it before she whaled on it with Mr. Usagi before practically tearing away at the wall with her bare fingernails until a vent was uncovered and she picked it opened with Ms. Umineko, dropping her in the process when she scrambled in. Whatever that dog was, it's head was too big to get in. But how could she get her stuff back?

Ask for help? Find the owners and tell them to call off their psycho mutt?

Yeah, that's a good idea. Go and ask the owners for help to get your equipment that you will use to rob them blind.... Time to think out of the box.

She went back the way she came, watered up her eyes and squeezed her cheeks as she went. Did she still have that letter? She pattered her pocket and pulled it out. She needed something to validate her story. This would be very easy to get someone to believe her.

"Is somebody here! Something tried to attack me outside and I left Mr. Usagi!! I... I need help!"

[Raven Vox]

I had leaned up against a lamp post leading up to the Grand Doors of this luxuriously elaborate mansion.
I'd been invited here and came for a reason, and yet I hadn't gone in... something about this place didn't set well with me, so I stayed out here, out of sight. ...Actually, I've been here quite a while, took my time getting here and tried to slip in unnoticed, yet wouldn't be surprised if the owners of this ghastly place already know I'm here...
...several others have already gone in, the poor fools.
No, it wasn't the grandeur of the place that irked me off, that hadn't fazed me at all, I'd seen similar to this in my past... it was more like I could feel an aura of the otherworldly just emanating out of the very walls of the mansion...
I pressed my palm to my forehead and shook my head in exasperation, letting out a long sigh.I had expected some form of con, but honestly I hadn't expected this.
Just what on earth was going on here?
My mind raced through all of the possibilities, easily reaching various horrible conclusions that no one in their right mind would enjoy... yet they all seemed possibly valid in this scenario.
Certainly this was some horrible event that I should never have gotten involved with, yet I can't just leave... for one I doubt anyone could get through that ungodly forest going the other direction. Besides, I'm here, and in a way I'm partially responsible for entire group of the fools who got suckered into this trap... including myself.
My imagination concocted many cruel and twisted possibilities of the horrors that the others could be going through in there...Though I didn't have much time to think on these suspicions before I heard something that, to myself, proved me right.
Someone screamed on the inside of the mansion... a male, and a scream of pain.
“Yeah, of course, no choice...” I muttered to himself under my breath and quickly approached the doors.

...
I glanced down at the handle.
Locked.
Of course, the door's locked.
As if they even needed to go that far, what with the eternal forest here keeping everyone trapped here...
I could pick the lock I'd bet, if it were normal that is, but I knew that I didn't have to worry about getting in... it's getting out that's the problem.
I sighed again.
"...God forgive me for the tricks I pull... and whatever curses I utter while here."
I reached down and took a hold of the door handle.The door unlocked and opened before me, seemingly by itself...
...
“...Well, what choice do I have?”
And with that I walked through the doorway, the door closed behind me, I heard the lock click back into place.
...Of course, what did I expect?
I was standing now in a great entrance foyer, with variant styles of art displayed proudly upon the walls.Peachy.
...
”...Well, time for Yazo's grand tour of the great Haunted Mansion.” I let out and half laughed to myself.
Not that I have time for jokes, do I?
Where had that scream come from?
I slowly set out down the hall in my search.
It was dimly lit, where there was light, completely dark in other places...
Not that it bothered me, I'm pretty good at moving around in the dark, can't exactly do a 'lights out' trick when you aren't.
But still, I certainly don't need to stick to my lonesome in this place, that could get me killed... if my assumptions are right.
I placed my cane vertical against the floor and let it drop, it fell and pointed at approximately a -45 degree angle.
...
”That way.”
Grabbing my cane I took off down the hall in that direction at a rather brisk pace.
Sure enough,
I quickly reach a room that seems to have been the room the scream sourced from...
A couple of monstrous carcasses are spread out of the floor, my assumptions were definitely right.
It seems whoever was here was able to take care of their self though... or themselves in all likely hood. It appears that this room has played host to more than one person at the same time, very very recently...
I guess they took to exploring the mansion then?
Well, at least they're not alone it seems, unless they split up... I hope they weren't that dumb.
Upon a quick examination of the monsters remains I noted that one of their internal fluids of some sort, possibly blood from a guess, seemed to be acidic... the floor rug that some of it had spilled on it had melted.
Physical contact with these things could prove a fatal mistake, I take note of this.I then spent a couple of moments looking around the room, after all, you never know what you'll find, and in this circumstance, now that I have an Idea what I'm up against, one can never be too careful.
...There didn't seem to be much practical use of any of the items in the room.
Not that I got too long to poke around, it was just a bit when I heard someone, or something, approaching from the hall with the busted down door.
I slipped out of the room back into the dark hallway that I came to watch...
...A male came into the room, a little shaken up it seemed, and spread out on the couch.
...
How can he even do that with the carcasses?
...Not that it'd faze me at all, but I wouldn't exactly call myself normal...
...Ah well, he doesn't exactly seem harmful... but still.
I slowly slip back into the room, as to not alert the man of my presence.
...He's asleep.
...Really?
In this hostile environment? You go to sleep? If I had a knife I could easily slit your throat and you'd never wake up...
...He's of a physical build, highly capable... his arms and upper torso are much greater developed than the rest of his muscular structure... a boxer?
Hmmm... he's definitely not my enemy, at the present.
...He must be tired.
I slowly move one of the chairs off quietly in the corner of the room as to not disturb the man, and take a seat backwards in the chair, facing him, crossing my arms on the chair's back.
...What next? I'll wait for him to wake up, just in case one of these things comes by again, don't need the man helpless...
...Even I can be nice every once and a while.

[Echo-chan]

The airy sensation of a shrouded past & haunted features were hanging maliciously in every corner of the grand estate. It was daring enough to be trapped in it with no companion more or less, but it did not strike fear at all for the two Endo siblings.

Akio Endo was a boy of laid-back ideals, more or less, he didn't care if he were to face a monster, or die right then and there. What mattered to him was to keep his younger sister safe. Reika Endo was no different, she was much more scarred though. And in the current situation where it was only the two of them made her flinch.
"Reika-chan, are you alright? back there?" his voice was soft, but it had a tone of troublesome emotions. "Yes, very much, thank you" she lied, as much as she did not want to trouble her brother. "That's good" he murmured,starring at the ill-lit hallways that seemed to go on forever with locked doors. "Akio-san, I'm a bit worried, what if all the others are killed?" Reika was anxious to hear his answer, which was good enough to persevere anyone, "Impossible, I know the people who joined are strong, they won't back down so easily, c'mon, have a little hope" Reika could only smile, tightening her grasp on Akio's hand, she replied in a meek voice, "I hope so, because I'd rather die than face the facts that we're the only ones left"
