[ please don't faceplant into glass. they spend a moment thinking, about to say something but
stop. before crossing their arms to address him again. ]
Do you wanna head up first? [ a few weeks earlier, they would have definitely just. gone first. but, they still remember what he and the others said about letting the rest of them help out too so... ]
[ thank god for that. jonas is probably the team member least fussy about it (or middling, depending on how alex feels any given day), but he does seem to relax even further when they ask. ]
Yeah. Probably not a bad idea, especially with... [ a gesture to their missing eye :( but they have found a first story window, broken panes of glass but with a semi-clear view of the inside through the hole. ]
Ready? [ why is he asking when he's the one going first. ]
[ true... their perception is a bit off being half blind now. though, they linger closer, a tinge of concern as they observe the panes of broken glass. still, it's the best shot they have as far as they can see..
they look up to him, nodding with a reassuring look. they aren't going to question why he's asking ok. ] Ready when you are.
Cool. [ he should eat shit, but since teleportation works in the way of teleporting by seeing the target, he will concentrate on a space inside the house before disappearing in a little waft of white smoke.
and he wanders back over to pry the window open, leaning on the windowsill to look down at them. ]
[ wao you're so cool jonas. Setsu just stays where they are, squinting a little but relaxes when he leans on the windowsill to look down. the worst that happens is he probably goes nowhere, so good to know there was enough view to get in. ]
Thought you'd never ask. [ there's a spark of amusement. they'll put their military experience to use and climb up naturally honestly, and with a 15 i guess that means they won't eat shit themselves. especially if Jonas is helping. ] Thanks.
[ no bully... but yeah. he grins a little wider and uses his arms to help finish pulling them up even though they're doing most of the work themselves. we made it, fam. we are in the house. ]
Sure. Hard part's out of the way. [ the vibes are a low buzz of curiosity and lowkey excitement, especially with a new place to look. ] Where should we start?
[ freedom in the spook house. they give a word of thanks when he helps them up, brushing their own hands together briefly as they look around. ]
Since we're here, may as well search the floor. Maybe there's a bedroom up here?
[ Setsu is certainly vibing with that curiosity, looking around and taking in the sight. though the house really does look like it's falling very much apart.... olde. ] Let's watch our step.
Yeah, this is...definitely a good place to fall straight through the floor into someone's basement. [ he is careful with his steps, but he begins to move around to check out various parts of the room they're in more than anything. ]
Doesn't look like anybody's been here for a really long time.
[ I personally think it would be funny if they fell through the floor. ]
Not like the other houses. Though, this one is a bit out of the way. ..Do you think it's been used in a previous game?
[ which, really makes them wonder how many games there have been. they will peek around the room before a chill runs down the spine. quickly, they're looking at the door that they came through and.. nothing? the feeling of caution doesn't go away. ]
[ stop their floor!! but he frowns in thought as they begin to wander. it's debatable if jonas feels on edge, or that he's being watched, given he's doing his best not to react to anything yet. ]
It could be from a previous game. People keep talking about tradition so it wouldn't surprise me if this is something from a while ago. But I think that's just a thing, too. Creepy, abandoned house right in the middle of beautiful suburbia. For all we know, we're gonna enter a room and find a coffin for the homeowner.
[ Setsu will shake off the feeling for now, returning to their steady calm but its obviously guarded. ]
...Someone would keep a coffin in their house?
[ of everything else, that is the strangest. looking around the room is fruitless so Setsu will peek back the corridor to see the nearest stairs. still more to explore! ]
Yeah, usually Counts or something. [ stop. just stop. he follows after them, but he doesn't really hesitate before he begins ascending the stairs. explore!! ]
Makes you wonder if there's more houses like this in other parts of the city though.
Counts? [ hate that setsu just trusts jonas that they go with it. ]
I saw a couple of houses earlier but not in this kind of state. At least from the outside they looked pretty normal. [ apparently they can walk into those houses. help. ]
I'm not familiar with Count Dracula. [ unfortunately they're going to. i'm serious. you did this. as the stairs creak, they will glance at the way they came. hmmm. ]
It's possible there are shadow people living in them. Kind of like the ones you see around? Maybe we can find something in them... [ there's that feeling of being watched though. ]
You think so? I mean I guess that makes sense. The shadow people are still out there outside of the UG, so it would track that they have their own houses and places to live. [ but okay, this time he does kind of follow their line of vision and slows down a little. ]
If you say so... [ they're gonna think of count dracula for a while now. thanks. ]
Mhm, that's what I was thinking too. [ they say, a bit distracedly. before they frown a bit more, shaking their head after a moment and looking down at the new floor they've reached. more bedrooms perhaps in their future. ]
...I'm not sure, it.. feels like something is watching us. [ there's caution in their voice, careful. they're just unsure if its their experience kicking in or it's them being paranoid. ]
...you think? [ he's dropping pretty much all lines of conversation, though he glances over his shoulder, too. ] Wait like something or someone? Maybe some of the others made their way into the house, too.
[ it's not like they're the only ones who might've thought to break in, he thinks. ]
It might be because of the oldness of the building but... [ there's uncertainty there. ] I'm not sure. It could just be somebody that saw us coming in and decided to follow after us.
[ so he could be right. they'll cross their arms, finger tapping idly at their own arm. ] ...Well, so long as they aren't doing anything I suppose it's... fine. [ that feeling lingers though, at the back of their mind. uncomfortable. ]
As long as we can see our target, teleporting works okay. [ stop no one is getting erased!! but as they reach the landing of the next floor, he's already wandering a little to glance at a cracked mirror hanging on the wall.]
I think we'd be lucky to find anything useful here. But we haven't checked the bedrooms or anything yet either, so it's possible we haven't gotten that far yet.
[ a nod, and while he goes and does that- they'll come to crouch by these dusty ass floors to try and peek under some furniture. the floors continuing to make such ominous creaking. ]
Worth checking every nook and cranny then. Just to be sure. [ actually, fuck it. let's go diceroll. ... nvm i rolled a 17, nothing happens. fuck the dice. ]
[ wiggles the mirror back and forth a little, curious. ]
We have a lot of ground to cover if we're doing it that way. But there's two of us. Shouldn't be too bad... [ poking and prodding. ] For being as old as it looks, some stuff isn't as bad off as others.
There's always revisiting later if we feel the need to too. At least, before other things start to happen.
Hmmm.. [ they fall quiet in their thoughts ] This place really stands out compared to everything else... doesn't it? Almost everywhere until now has been semi-busy, but not here.

Let's keep going for now. If someone is following us and they're about to do something weird, we can always teleport back out. Right? Just in case.
no subject
[ not like they can be erased, not on this Fine Monday. try again later. but not ty, try me. ]
...In the meantime, I haven't really seen anything useful so far.
