Koln shrugs, "Feh, nice horsie... " and rolls over to the bed, taking a peek under it!

There is nothing under the bed but some dust. It even looks like the local bed monster has moved out! You circle around the bed to make sure he's gone and you see Clover and Ruby in some kind of sexual position that you can't even describe staring back at you from the elevator.

I'll kill you, Dave! lol >.<*

Seeing a strange look on Koln's face, Clover quickly tumbled out of the elevator and stood upright, brushing herself off distractedly. She looked at the disheveled room and realized that Koln had done the job. She smiled, seeing a newspaper open to the comics section and could just see Koln getting distracted and reading it. She mused, "Find anything interesting, Koln?"

Koln scurries out from under the bed. At Clover's comment he merely smirks and replies, "No... have you?" Quickly batting a glance at Ruby and then back at Clover. "Seriously, it seems that Emerson went missing after a double homicide that happened here, some farmer overheard the noise... I am too tired to think any more on this, we should head back. It's almost morning."

Clover nodded in assent. She wasn't exactly sure what would happen to the three of them if they were caught in the light of day, but she had the feeling it wouldn't be pretty.
"So, does anyone know how to get out of here? We can't go back down that elevator. There are some very unappetizing drinks down there."

Ruby rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "It was a tight squeeze in there, I didn't squish you right Clover?" she asked, not understanding Koln's true meaning of his glance. Clover is like a sisterly love to Ruby >.< She then nodded. "Yes, I believe we have had enough of this horrid place for now.." she proclaimed solemnly.

I don't think Koln sees it as sisterly love and I'm determined to keep him thinking the worst

The room is a typical bedroom with a door leading out into a hallway. You all head out the door and into that hall. The hallway is rather large and is in a circular shape around the staircase with a banister wrapping around the opening leading downstairs. A large chandelier hangs over the opening providing all the light for the hallway. Two windows on the left and right walls let in some light from outside, the crescent moon is out and you can see that it is getting low in the night sky, its beams of pale blue light pouring in through the window and onto the red carpeting.

There are many doors leading to many other bedrooms, one of which creeks open, almost welcoming you inside (the one in red on the map). You can see that the lights are on in this room as if there are people in there and you think you can hear some muffled voices coming from this room as well.

The map

 

[izillama]

Am I the only one who thinks that the map is getting harder and harder to understand??

Clover listened to the muffled voices, trying to discern what they were saying. But no luck. Either way, she thought, it was probably just some new trick of the house. And she was not amused. But still, she didn't believe in ghosts!
She saw how low the moon was looking and she rechecked her cell phone for the time. She found herself biting her lip in apprehension and saw Koln and Ruby looking at the room which seemed to hold the voices.
Clover pressed her lips together and tapped them both on the shoulder, making them turn. She stared them in the eyes and adamantly shook her head, 'No,' trying to get them to abandon the idea of searching that room. It seemed like such a fruitless venture! And it was reckless being out so late/early (however you want to look at it)!
'Shake of the head means no. No! We can't waste any more time here tonight! These two had better listen to me this time!'

[sblock=PS]PS- In case anyone is wondering why she's just shaking her head, she has it in the back of her mind that the sounds from the room might be real, human people (or vampires!). Better to be quiet and sneak out of the house, right? ^.^*[/sblock]

 

[Strider_Koln]

I know what Koln really thinks... yep... heh you don't wanna know. CRAZY! I will reply to your Ask Father Koln letter in due time Aly.


Koln's mind wanders as he starts to giggle a little, Socrates looking up at him embarrassed. He stifles himself and walks over to Clover with a confused look on his face. He gently pokes her forehead a few times, his head tilted to the side. "Clover... are you really Clover? Ruby, is she really here right now? I mean she appears to be so... but does appearence ALWAYS equal presence... no... it doesn't. Heh, you're just a figment of my imagination, aren't you?" Koln says with a playful smile, but shuts up upon hearing the voices in the room.
With a sudden serious look on his face he presses his ear to the wall.

Listen check!

Koln walks up next to the door and listens against the wall while still staying in the hallway.

The time on Clover's cell phone says 3am.

Through the wall you can hear a woman praying.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The prayer is followed by a man's voice saying "It's over, our son has become a monster. It's only a matter of time before he finds us here. We have to get out of here quickly."

Koln nods after hearing the conversation inside. He then peers over Clover's shoulder, noticing the time. "3am... indeed, the Devil's hour is upon us. We must make haste, and keep vigilant... you two stay here..." Koln mutters as he sprints into the room, gun held high, coat dancing in the wind, covered in the shadows with Socrates standing heroically on his shoulder with head high and chest out.

"Come with me if you want to live."
