Werewolves

[Gizensha]

Walking back from the bathroom just in time to hear that he practically yells "But it's only just turned light, surely. I mean, we all didn't sleep right through the day, surely!"

[Richard K Niner]

Richard looks out the window. "Hey, you're right. How long have I been preparing this food for?" He looks in the oven; the food is burnt. "Oh. Dang, that's overdone."<br><br>He takes the burnt food out and puts it on the table, grabbing a piece of charcoal black steak, and tries to eat it. The flavour, unfortunately, is long gone.<br><br>"Supper's ready, for anybody who wants bland nutrients!" Richard calls out. "And when are we going to hold Tails' funeral?"

[Bocaj Claw]

These words are punctuated by a particularly loud and ominous crack of thunder as well as a scream from the far side of the village.

[Richard K Niner]

"Did you just hear a scream?"

[Bocaj Claw]

A heavy rain begins to fall outside and inside too. Thanks to the broken window.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard goes down to the cellar to look for a tarp to cover the window.<br>

[Rooster]

Rooster looks out of the window at the rain comming down from the rapidly darkening sky. He thinks back to everything he's seen, everything that's happened...Rudii...Tails...<br><br>Bocaj walks up to him and puts his hand on Rooster's shoulder.<br><br>"We'll be fine man," Bocaj says.<br><br>"Wish I could believe you. I've given up."<br><br>All his boring life, Rooster had wished he was somewhere else, or someone else. He'd tried the army, university, the police force...non seemed to fit. He'd always looked at people in films with envy at their exiting lives, but now all he wanted was to go home, back to his boring life.<br><br>It may have been boring, but at least he was safe.<br><br>"Where are the others?" Rooster asked.<br><br>"Giz is in the kitchen and Richard is in the cellar."<br><br>"The cellar!?! But I didn't get around to checking it yet!"<br><br>Bocaj and Rooster run to the cellar door and fling it open.

[Richard K Niner]

Deep into the cellar, Richard spots a large black tarp. At least, he thinks it's black; with the available light, he can barely see three feet in front of him. He picks it up, and notices that he's lost in the cellar.<br><br>For reasons unknown, the cellar seemed larger than it should've been. That was Richard's first impression on the way down. So large, in fact, that Richard was now lost in its depths. A door opens in the distance. Richard starts walking towards the sound, and falls down a hole in the floor.

[Gizensha]

Gizensha hears a 'thunk' from the cellar below him, and rushes over to where Rooster and Bocaj are stood. "What was that noise? Is Richard alright?" He blurts out pretty much all at once.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard gets up and looks around. If he thought the cellar was dark...<br><br>There is ladder to Richard's left, so he starts climbing it. As he does so, a loud cracking sound is heard an indiscernable distance above him, and the ladder falls off the wall. Richard lands on his back, hard.

[Gizensha]

Gizensha hears the sound of the ladder crashing to the ground. He looks to Rooster and to Bocaj. "One of you, keep the door held open. It looks like it's going to be our main source of light. The other comes with me. And do try to stay close The last thing we need is to lose three people to this lightless TARDIS of a cellar." He walks into the cellar, extremely nervously, and cautiously heads towards where he thinks the sound of the ladder came from.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard examines the ladder. The top of it was torn off, so it appears that the ladder is actually in two pieces. As he looks around the lightless hole, he spots a dimly lit doorway off in the distance. Apparently, the pit wasn't as dark as he thought. He makes his way towards the light.

[Rooster]

Bocaj holds the door as Rooster and Giz head into the darkness.<br><br>"I can't see anything!" hisses Giz.<br><br>"Neither can I...Oh wait!" Rooster says as he pulls out his sliver lighter. "Knew that'd come in handy, and you guys say smoking is bad for you."<br><br>He holds the lighter at arms length, the light isn't strong, but it's enough.<br><br>The two reach the hole and peer down.<br><br>"Richard?" Giz calls.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard walks through the doorway, into a large room with multiple stories. A set of MEHTUL stairs leads down from a lengthy MEHTUL bridge. He is standing at one end of the bridge, and can see that it forks in many directions, towards equally identical doorways.<br><br>"If I'm not mistaken, I'd bet that each of those doorways leads under another house," Richard mumbles to himself as he descends the stairs. "But this definitely isn't what it appears to be."<br><br>A voice in the distance calls out his name, but it is lost in the immensity of the room. Richard hears it coming from below, and approaches it.

[Gizensha]

Gizensha fails to hear a response and so drops a stone down the hole, notices the time it takes to hit the ground below. "Should be relatively safe to jump down..." he mutters, then louder. "Rooster, you coming with me or staying here? Don't blame you either way. If you stay here, though, please don't die. You might be my only way back up." He smiles at Rooster, and then jumps down.<br><br>He notices the ladder by his feet. Well. More like 'hits the ladder with his foot ruining his landing'. "At a guess, based on the presence of a broken ladder, I'd say that this is either meant as an escape route or is the way the werewolves attacked the villagers without leaving any footprints." He calls up to Rooster. "And I'm not sure if you're safer staying up there or coming with me... But I think I know what way Richard's gone..." He says as he starts to walk towards the dimly lit door.
