[ 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

[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

[oneknightstands]

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. ]

I'm a friend. I swear.

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ Nothing under these cots! :U ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[senior_citizen]

[ welp. trying the door then. ]

Re: COUNTRY MANSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ That door's not budging. ]

[ And yet there's no lock on this side of the door. ]
