Resurrection City III: The Breconshire Horrors

[Old Fezziwig]

"Well, no worries, lad." Diggory smiles. "I think I'm ready to head off to bed now, I'll see ye chaps in the morning, eh?" Diggory heads up to his room and gets ready for bed.

Trevor bids Diggory good night and says to Langan, "Well I think we were all a bit unnerved." He takes another sip of his ale. "What do you remember about it, though," he asks casually.

"What do you remember about it, though," he asks casually.

"Not much," Langan says, downing the last of his drink. "I heard voices - I know you all think I'm daft for saying so. A woman calling my name, and many whispers behind that - almost like a number of small children." He shudders. "Gives me the chills just remembering it."

Trevor looks at Langan seriously. "All of us here have seen things that many would think daft, my friend. Things that chilled our blood and..." he pauses for a moment, then continues. "Well let's just say I for one won't think any less of you for being frightened. Don't concern yourself on that account."

Langan nods. "Aye. I've never seen anything out of the ordinary, but I've no doubt such things do exist. Evidently, you fellows can attest to that. To the last mysteries of the world, may the English solve them all!" Langan raises his glass in a salute and drains it. "Well, baron, it's certainly been an eventful day. I believe I'd best be turning in. Good night to you." With that, Langan rises and begins climbing the stairs.

Later that night... (Trevor only, at least at first)

Spoiler

Trevor awakens from a dream of Pellgraine Manor. He sits bolt upright and sinks back down in the bed after convincing himself that he is in Wales, not that old manor house. He is nodding back off when he hears something from the direction of Langan's room - the young man's voice, in a calm and conversational tone, followed by a low, sibilant voice, a sort of hissing.

Rising quietly, Trevor makes his way to the wall and listens quietly. Who would he be speaking to at this hour, he wonders.

Trevor makes his way to the wall and listens quietly...

The voice is very raspy, and of a higher pitch, like that of a sickly child. It is speaking of a "Queen" who is here in Wales. "Yes, tell her I'll be there in a few moments," Langan replies. His visitor says something in reply that you can't make out, and then you hear a number of pattering sounds as of children's feet.

Shrugging quickly into a dressing gown, Trevor quietly makes his way out into the hallway. Crossing the hall he gives a couple discreet raps on the door, then moves to in front of Langan's.

[OOC: whoever else has a room nearby (Diggory?) will get the knock, but I don't want to go so far as to lose sight of Langan's door. Also, quick silly question: I've forgotten Langan's first name!]

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Yes, you can tell her I've brought it, Trevor hears Langan say from inside the room. Is he here, as well? The hissing voice says something. I see. Farewell to you.

Right, that was Diggory's room. So Kajamba, you can start posting now. And it's Edward.
