Genuine Haunted House

[Anonymouse]

The pair of eyes regard the barrel with amusement for a few moments... before. "Eheh... heheh... hehehahahahahaha..." Laughs the scraggly voice... "Be my... guest..." It says, as the viewing slot snaps shut with the strength of steel jaws... the door creeaking open slowly to reveal a rectangle of pure darkness within.

The Shadow pauses...lowering the gun slightly.
Unsettling, perhaps.
But he was no stranger to the darkness. In he goes!

[Knight Errant]

"We have it on the run! Stay close!" Says Dact, as he follows the shadow down the hall!

[Lola]

Ryan examines the door and the imprint, looking from her own hand to it.

"Won't hurt to try I suppose..."

Her journalistic curiosity still strong despite the change, she places her hand in the imprint!

Placing her hand on the wall... it glows purple! Slowly beginning to slide aside to reveal a rippling wall of energy... it looks like some kind of portal... she feels oddly drawn to it!

Ah! L-let go! *Yvette starts pulling at the necklace, trying to get it off!*

The necklace is unyielding! And soon wears itself on her... glowing brightly as she begins feeling... tingly!

The Shadow pauses...lowering the gun slightly.
Unsettling, perhaps.
But he was no stranger to the darkness. In he goes!

The door slams shut behind him. In the total, black velvet darkness... he feels it swirl around him... dragging him downwards. The red eyes gaze at him with amusement. "I hope you enjoy your visit... hehehahahahaa!"

[Harri-chan]

"We're chasing it?", asked Elliot in a tone of disbelief as she hurried along after Dact, down the hall, after the shadow. She could feel her knees shaking again, and it felt like the ground was unsteady beneath her feet.

[Blaze]

Ryan yelps and staggers back as the door reveals a portal! Feeling the curious urge, and despite all her reason telling her to run, she steps through, the camera following!

[Ookalf]

The necklace is unyielding! And soon wears itself on her... glowing brightly as she begins feeling... tingly!

Ah...! *Yvette continues pull at the necklace, however futile her efforts may be!

[Feng]

Bones floats in his cage glaring at Tim.

"Do you think its wise to cross a criminal mastermind, sir?" he asks, eyes full of malice. "Like you, I too have friends in low places"

[Anonymouse]

The Shadow tugs at his leg, a small frown forming under his crimson scarf...before he digs into his cloak, pulling out a small sphere.

"I plan to."

His voice connotes no sense of urgency, despite his quick movements as he covers his eyes, clicking the side of the ball--a blinding light filling the room for a brief moment!

"--Just hope you don't mind if I shed a little light on the situation."

[Knight Errant]

"Of course we are chasing it! Don't worry, I can handle whatever this thing is!" He says confidently... opening the attic door!

[Lola]

"Of course we are chasing it! Don't worry, I can handle whatever this thing is!" He says confidently... opening the attic door!

The door is opened! Revealing the staircase above... they both can hear rustling up ahead... and faint creaks.

Ryan yelps and staggers back as the door reveals a portal! Feeling the curious urge, and despite all her reason telling her to run, she steps through, the camera following!

She steps through! Her vision blurs for a moment... then things focus! She is standing just beyond a large pair of gates! They are black metal... carved with all sorts of images it would be best not to observe too close. In front of her is what looks like a large palace carved into a spire of shiny black rock... obsidian, even. Which would make sense, considering it seems to be in the middle of a caldera.

Ah...! *Yvette continues pull at the necklace, however futile her efforts may be!

It seems... pretty futile! Especially as it fuses with her skin... turning into a pattern of black lines ringing her neck. Her clothes begin changing... turning dark purple and red as fishnets appear on her legs...

The Shadow tugs at his leg, a small frown forming under his crimson scarf...before he digs into his cloak, pulling out a small sphere.

His voice connotes no sense of urgency, despite his quick movements as he covers his eyes, clicking the side of the ball--a blinding light filling the room for a brief moment!

"--Just hope you don't mind if I shed a little light on the situation."

At the brief flash of light, he feels something letting go... then when next he opens his eyes, he is alone in an empty shed with a dirt floor.

[Blaze]

Ryan gazes at the castle beyond the gates in awe.

"Mysterious undiscovered castle?... I smell a scoop!"

Momentarily forgetting what had happened to her, she approaches the gates and tries to open them!

[Ookalf]

It seems... pretty futile! Especially as it fuses with her skin... turning into a pattern of black lines ringing her neck. Her clothes begin changing... turning dark purple and red as fishnets appear on her legs...

This cannot be good... *Realizing the necklace is a lost cause, Yvette looks back to the box she found it in and checks for any significant markings. ...Maybe should've thought of that sooner, huh?*

[Anonymouse]

The shadow pauses...and lets the orb fall from his hand, spent., glancing around the shack. How is it? Shack-y?

[Harri-chan]

Elliot sucked in a deep breath as the door swung open, and then followed Dact through it. She groaned as the sounds drifted down the staircase to them, and had to use her hands to help climb up them, "This isn't a good idea, Dact... ".

[Knight Errant]

"Oh come on, Elliot. What would you have us do. Run away? Nosir!" He says, getting to the top of the stair!
