[okay now Flynn Scifo is heading up to the door]

[ At the doorway, you feel-- ]

[ --it's imposing and uncomfortable, so far from home, but here you're supposed to be in some place in the middle of nowhere that's called safe, only you've never been here before so how is that safe at all-- ]

[startles, looking around himself at the scenery]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ It is only a simple countryside, nothing more, nothing less. ]

[ Though you feel an echo as if it would be nice if there were foxes in the forests beyond... ]

[that's a strange thought]

[moving to head inside]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ You step inside into a small foyer. To the side is a coat rack with several coats hanging on it in varying sizes from children to adult. There is a set of small luggage bags here, much too small for any adult. That feeling of mild trepidation doesn't quite go away, but at least it's homey enough in here. ]

[ To your left is a set of stairs leading to the second floor. The moment you walked in, something took off from the top of them and further inside the house. ]

Oh—hello?

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ There is no answer! Only the sound of small feet running somewhere and a door closing. ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[oh kids]

[heading up the stairs to follow after]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ Up the stairs finds you facing a hallway with two doors to either side facing each other and a door at the far end. All of them are shut. ]

[ The wallpaper here is reminiscent of the taste of someone much older, clearly not suited for a family, and quite somber. ]

[hm, then they're hiding . . . ]

[might as well be methodical about it, opening the first door on the right]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ Inside are two cots running perpendicular to you pushed up against the wall to your left with a small table between them. They're neatly made up, and in fact look as if no one has slept in them yet. To the right is a closet door. Inbetween the cots a small table has been set up with a tea set. There is no steam from the pot or the cups, as if someone left it there and never came back. ]

[ There's no one in here, it looks like. ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[oneknightstands]

[this place really doesn't look inviting, checking under the beds and in the closet though]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ There's no one in here! ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[ well his super soldier hearing is pretty good, so he's following the sound of those footsteps ]

I won't hurt you, I promise.

[ The footsteps seem to have gone into the door on the left. ]

[ What are kids doing here then ... Cautiously, he approaches the door on the left and cracks it open. ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION
