[The video's not very clear when it comes on; it's dark and gloomy, showing hints of thick dust and cobwebs--a glimpse of a window reveals deep fog--and then it shifts to Rita's wide-eyed face. When she speaks, she's trying very hard to pretend she's calm...and failing pretty horribly.]

I-is anyone else stuck in this weirdo place? I mean, it's not like I need help or anything, but-

[A loud creak and sudden clatter of footsteps interrupts her, the shutters to the window abruptly blowing open, and she jumps with a yelp.] Aah--! Uh--it's not sc--just where's the exit, already?!

[Maybe realizing that the video's still recording her little freak-out, she quickly shuts it off.]

[ooc: Tags slow forever. ._. Sorry!]

[ !!!!♥♥♥♥!!!! ]

Why not?

[ Tyr...thinks he's almost out of the forest. The fog is definitely dense now, and Rita's outburst is distracting him. ]

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

[!!!!♥♥♥♥!!!!]

Because it just isn't! [And she has no idea that he's distracted--or possibly getting close--as she just makes another outburst.]

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ !!!!♥♥♥♥!!!! ]

[ And Tyr is just in disbelief. ] Out of everything you don't believe is possible, people living in a weird house is one of them?

[blastiafreak]

[So much love~♥]

[It's not just that she's scared of the things which don't exist that would be living here-!] It's not just a weird house!

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ Always. :3 ]

Why? What's wrong with it? [ Of course not. Rita isn't superstitious! ]

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

[Yes~ :3]

It's...It's weird, and empty, and... [creepy] And nobody would live here!

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ ♥ ]

All right, all right. [ Tyr sighs and just resigns that Rita thinks she's right no matter what. ] ...So where exactly do you think you are if it's not a real house...?

[ He's focusing on her but realises he's on the beach because of the change in how the ground feels beneath him. ...And only because of that; he can't see more than a foot in front of him now. ]

[blastiafreak]

[:3]

It's obviously a cursed house!

[She frowns as she spares a glance at the video, slowing her pace.] Where are you, anyway?

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ :3 ]

But it is a real house, right? [ As in one he can find.

When she asks that question, he actually looks around him, trying to give some landmark to say how close he is. The best he can do, though, is say: ] I'm on the beach...

video; ♥ And heading off to sleep now! Night~

[blastiafreak]

Does it look like it's a fake to you?! [Just for his benefit, she pans and shakes the camera to emphasize the old, wooden hallway.

Rita can't even tell that he's on the beach, though she narrows her eyes to try and pick anything out in the fog.] You're sure, right?

video; ♥ Good night! Sleep well!

[stargathering]

[ He sighs under his breath as he looks at it. ] Yeah... Yeah, it does. I'll try to find it... [ Somehow...

To her question, he nods. ] Definitely, unless the City changed the layout of the landscape.

video; ♥ Thanks~ I hope you did, too! /o/

[blastiafreak]

Huh? [She gives him a scowl, though it disappears when she jumps from another rattle somewhere in the building.]

Ugh...It's not like that would've been impossible...

video; ♥ I did! \o\

[stargathering]

[ It feels like the twentieth time he wants to ask What's going on?, but he just opens his mouth and closes it again. ] I'm saying the fog is thick. I don't know if I'll be able to find the house you're in...

... I don't think this is the kind of curse where they'd do that... [ Though he looks down anyway, even if all it does is confirm he's walking in sand. ]

video; ♥ Yay! \o/

[blastiafreak]

Of course it's thick! [She shouldn't be snapping at him like this, she knows, but...She's getting more and more worried that Tyr's going to end up somewhere completely different.]

Why not? If it's the kind of curse where they're trying to get us lost, that's just the kind of thing they'd do!

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ He gives her a hard look. ] It wasn't this bad in the City! I've never seen fog like this before.

[ Sighing, he has to agree. ] Maybe... I don't know anywhere else here that has sand, though.

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

Well, you're seeing it now! Don't run into anything. [There's only one other time she's seen fog like this too, and that was on the ocean...]

[At least that means he's on the beach.] Okay, but...It's not like they can't still make you get lost.

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ And now he's a little annoyed. ] I wasn't planning to.

All they really need is this fog... It's hard not to get lost here when you can't see where you're going.

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

[Rita doesn't take as much notice as she should, just grumbling out a "hmph!" and continuing down the hall again.]

So what you're saying is that you might as well be lost already.

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ He glares at her and doesn't really say anything. It's true after all; he is basically lost. There's still some hope that he'll just wander around and find the house eventually, though.

The floorboards are getting even more creaky, too. Even Tyr can hear them. ]

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

[She almost has half a mind to tell him to go back before he can't any longer, but the creaks are distracting.]

N-now what?

video; ♥

[stargathering]

What? Now I'm going to try finding your place. [ He thought that was obvious. It was the only reason he came.

The creaks are pretty distracting, though, especially with how quiet the ocean is in the background for him. ]

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

You don't even know if you're going in the right direction! [And maybe she's worried he'll end up somewhere else...With the creaking as the only loud noise, it's kind of creepy...]

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ And her worry is lost on him. ] You're not one to talk. [ Floorboards whining with every step... It's actually just annoying to Tyr. ]

video; ♥

[blastiafreak]

[They're both so perceptive...] I'm still looking for a way out, all right?! [She makes a little squeak when the creaking's interrupted by a window's shutters being abruptly blown open behind her. Stupid house...]

video; ♥

[stargathering]

[ He's about to tell her that she still got lost, but the sounds from her end make his mind blank in worry. For a second, he stares at her in concern, but then shakes his head. ] All right... Just be careful while you do.
