What lies in darkness, will arise from light RP

/So what do we do?! / She asks a bit frantically

*think* Well, Kin warned me about something that roams around here and wants us out. *frown* I saw that thing too and I do not want to cause panic but it's already getting pretty dark. I assume none of us wants to take any chances after everything that happened till now. We should find Jenkins and Jub as soon as possible and hopefully get the hell out of here. *sigh and rub head* But I have no idea where to look first. This place is huge! *after noticing Kin was a bit away, speak quietly* Listen... I don't know what the hell was that thing I saw down the hallway but I think we should keep our eyes and ears opened. Whoever used the gun ran madly and I hope they're ok.

"OH SHUT UP!"
Roared a voice near the blind man, distorted into something hellish.
"YOU'RE CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING!"

Before he could react, the voice continued.
"I've already given one of your friends the key to the door, but if you don't stop giving me a headache, I'll have to shut you up, PERMANENTLY! Now, be good, stay quiet, and get out of my house by midnight, and maybe I won't rearrange your organs!"

Light footsteps were heard as the owner of the voice walked away from the blind man.

---------------------------------

Kin was at a bit of a loss. There wasn't anything s/he could use to grab the shiny thing.
I'll have to grab it by hand, anyway... Maybe if I'm quick enough...

Hir hand shot into the mouse hole, closing around something metallic. As s/he did so, Kin felt a sharp pain, causing hir to withdraw hir hand with a yelp.
Something bit hir, s/he could see the small bleeding bite-mark on the back of hir hand, most likely the mouse.

What Kin grabbed was apparently a keychain. Attached to it was one key, a small flashlight made mostly out of plastic, and a note.

Kin decided to read the note first, which was actually written quite elegantly, rather than as the scrawl s/he was expecting.

Blind man in the basement, crying like a little girl. Use key. Get him out before I decide to kill him. It's dark, can't be bothered to turn on power.

Next order of business was the flashlight. Kin unscrewed the cap, checking to see if the thing had batteries.
It did, but apparently only held one at a time. It would probably not last long because of that.

"Um, guys...? I think someone's in the basement."
Kin decided to say, holding out the note s/he found.

*take the note and frown* Blind man? Jub? *rub forehead* Great, where to first. *think* We have two options. Split up again, or search for them one by one... *look at everyone* Suggestions?

"I think we should split up into groups. You guys look for Jub, okay?"

"NO!" Kin abruptly shouted. "That's a horrible idea! We'll be safer as a group!"

"But we'll also run the risk of leaving the other guy (forgot his name, sorry) behind!"

OOC: His name is (Leeroy) Jenkins.

IC: "And if we separate, it'll be easier for whatever's out there to pick us off!"
Kin said, raising hir voice.

"But he will die for sure if we leave him!"
My fists clench in anger.
"He would die because we were too scared to find him! How could you live with that on your conscience?!"

/ Siril, please, calm down.../ she said as she tried to calm him down

"I don't want anyone to die!" Kin all but shouted, tears in hir eyes.
"But he could already be dead, for all we know!"

------------------------

The footsteps stopped in place, and an exasperated sigh was heard.
"The master of this house." The voice said. "And... A researcher of sorts."

The footsteps returned, getting closer.
"For fuck's sake, you really need to man up."

The owner of the voice lifted Jubelious up by the shirt, staring into his eyes.
"I'm feeling generous for the time being. For a price, I might be tempted to restore your sight. Maybe you'll grow a pair and be less annoying if I do that."

I take a few deep breaths, calming myself and looking apologetically at Tea.
"You…… Do have a point. We know Jub is alive, and, from the sounds of the gunshots earlier, Jenkins may be dead or near dead, or possibly injured.
We do not know how Jub is faring, however, so the question is, who do we gamble on?"

*frown* I hate this. One point when I wish I got the multiplication power. *think* Considering they're both alive... we got a mocking message on Jub's behalf which means he encountered whatever it is in this house, face to face now. It could be a trap as well though. As for Jenkins, if he made it through the gun fire and...*avoiding to say "spiky ass nightmare lizard" in frint of Kin*...things, he is military so he would probably know his way around things... *think and nod* This is hard but... I think Jenkins would endure being left alone longer, Jub wouldn't. I would go with Jub, then go back for Jenkins as soon as possible. Jub is blind, but if we encounter problems, we can carry him.

I nod. "Agreed. We go get Jub first, then immediately go find Jenkins. But, we agree to not abandon him, not until it's obvious he's dead."

*nod to Sirilati* Of course. I wouldn't leave anyone behind either. *reassure not wanting Kin to get upset* However... *smile* Jenkins is a tough nut I can tell. I do not think he would go so low to get beaten by a plain entity. We're all getting out of here. *look around* Now...anyone has ANY idea which way it the basement?

I shrug my shoulders.
"this house is always changing. For all we know, the basement coud be on the same floor as us, or even above us.
This place is the definition of madness."

*sigh* I know... Well how about we start with the common sense on this floor and down. No other way to actually find a place I'm afraid.
