[it leads you into a long hallway - and to another door. It's dark, but to your right you can make out a large panel of glass, and to your left another, smaller panel. You can't see through either of them]

[the inside isn't much different from the outside - rundown and old, the mansion smells of dust and mold and other unpleasant things. It's at least bright enough that you can find your way around, though as soon as you're inside you've got the feeling you're being watched. By more than one set of eyes.

I don't think so.
I don't think so.
[ Back out and into another house! ]
[pulling out that fire materia and testing it out then :)]
[It's super effective! The monster cries out, and then dies a firey death]
I like these...
[heads on down the hallway then]

Oh, I do. Guards? Dispose of these two.
[and then two guards came out of nowhere and grabbed Lark and Edmund, dragging them to another door out of sight and tossing them through]

[fchrist you're fast
TRYING A BLOCK, JERKING TO THE SIDE and Raven absorbs a lot of it, but that was a whole lot of rage in that first blast and he's already feeling drained -- he's stabbed through the arm and he yells]
