[video]

[blastiafreak]

[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!]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Loving every second?]

[Huff of course! Just as silly as following the rope-!] No way! I said we're not going that way, so forget it!

[She stomps across the room and slams one of the doors open violently. No protraits!!]

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Absolutely. :3 ]

[ But rope! :'< ] Okay!

[ She's really, really set against it. Was she down that way before? That seems like the only logical conclusion. And no, no portraits in that room! Just the same as what they already saw before! ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Good. :>]

[He can get a new one later. :< Rita stops and gapes in irritation and disbelief for a second, and then she's forcefully dragging Tyr across the room again to another door-!] This stupid--it has to end sometime!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Rope... :'< ] I hope so... [ It's just a little grumble. When Tyr opens the next door, it actually does end, surprisingly enough:

It's just the wall, with a hole set into it just big enough to hold the other half of the knob. ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[/pats

And she's so unprepared that she just about walks right into the wall, sputtering in absolute shoch.] Wha--how's this--what the hell is this?!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ ;_;

And now it's Tyr's turn to tug her back. He doesn't have an explanation for the wall being there, though he tries to brush it off. Totally not weird! ] It's a dead end. Come on- [ He motions towards the second door. ] -let's try the other one.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

I can see that's it a dead end! [And she's furious! She glowers at the second door, though she moves toward it after a moment.] Like this one's gonna be any different...

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

It might be! What's with you? [ She's so angry! Not that Rita is never angry, but still! He opens the next door for her! ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

W-what do you mean, what's with me? [She's very angry! And inconsiderate...As soon as the door's open, she glowers at the entrance, which...leads to another identical room.] Oh, what a pain!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

You keep freaking out. [ Identical room is annoying, but Tyr isn't going to whine about it. He strides in, pulling her along with him. ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

I-I am not freaking out-! [Rita does enough whining for him...She moves with him, and this time, the door creaks loudly shut behind them.]

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

Then you're getting worked up. [ At the sound of the door closing, Tyr flinches and spins his head to look back behind them. It hadn't done that yet, but...

Nope nope nope, not thinking it's anything strange at all. After that little pause, he starts walking towards the other side of the room again. ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Rita whirls right around with him to gape at the door, staying in place as he starts to move.] W-what the--hey! You're not seriously going that way, are you?

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ He stops when she does. Eventually. There's a bit of distance between them now, and Rita. Rita is definitely getting worked up. ] You want to go through the one that just closed on us instead?

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Despite the distance--or maybe because of it--her grip on his hand tightens.] Of course! It obviously wants us to keep going, right? Let's find a different way!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Tyr does not mind this, but gosh Rita. ]

What "it"? The door just closed randomly, and there's only three ways to go.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[I-it's not like she's suggesting there'd be ghosts or anything...!]

I'm talking about the curse! Got it?

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Totally not. ]

Okay, I get it. [ Can't even snark at her. Just...kinda annoyed. ] Now calm down already.

action; ♥! and I have to go to class soon. :<

[blastiafreak]

[Of course-!]

[She crosses her arms, getting sick of being told to calm down nevermind that it's kind of her own fault] Then let's go, okay?

action; ♥! Aww, have fun! /o/

[stargathering]

All right. [ He's going to tell her until she stops freaking out over nothing! Even if the door closing was really weird... He takes her hand again and tugs her closer to him. ] This way.

action; ♥! Thaaaanks~ \o\

[blastiafreak]

[But being trapped in a cursed house causes freakouts! ;_; She puts up no resistance besides a grumble.

Of course, if they try the doorknob of the door that just closed, they'll find it's now locked.]

action; ♥! /o/

[stargathering]

[ Poor whiny Rita... Whiny scaredy Rita...

Tyr's eyes narrow and tugs at the handle again, wiggling and tugging at it.

He sighs heavily. ] Damn it...

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[At least Tyr has enough patience...probably...

Rita stares for a moment, eyes wide, and then grabs the handle herself to give it a furious wrench--and it won't budge.] This--I can't believe this!

Stand back, and I'll blast it open!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ For now...

Tyr hesitates and thinks about stopping her, but... Well, it could be a way out. He takes a few steps back, and if he has to, he'll take Rita with him. ]

All right... Just be careful.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

That door's as good as gone! [With that okay, Rita's response is to immediately start casting.

A fire spell, of course.]
