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

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

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

I'm talking about the curse! Got it?

[ Totally not. ]

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

[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?

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.

[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.]

[ 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...

[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!

[ 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.

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

A fire spell, of course.]

[ Always with the fire spells. For a second, he just watches, then, hey, pulling her out of her stance. ]

Wait, you shouldn't use fire- You could set the rest of the room of fire if you do.

[Because fire spells are awesome. Rita's far less worried and scowls when he pulls her.]

What are you doing? You have a water rune--just put it out if a fire starts!

[ He gives her a sceptical look, but lets go of her. He hopes he can just put it out with a water rune... He might have to use it to heal them instead. ]

Fine... Just be careful with your spells.

Who do you think you're talking to? [She can control her own spells--or so she'd like to claim. She returns to her casting stance, muttering the chant and then casting a fireball at the door.]

[ The ever-confident Rita. Tyr smiles a little at that and steps back to give her space. He does take a defensive stance to make a shield if there's shrapnel, though. He knows how her spells go.

And since there's no creepy portrait to blow out her fireball, the spell hits, creating a splintery, charred hole in the wooden door. A few little embers flicker around the edges, and after a second, they become the only source of light as the candles' flames and overhead light go out. ]

[She's not looking and so misses the smile, or else she might've felt a little less agitated. Either way, she gasps when the lights go out, the feeble light of the embers not enough to see properly in the near pitch-black.] Hey, the lights!

... [ Tyr actually has no explanation for how this could happen... Instead, he just takes a few cautious, slow steps closer towards her. As promising as the possible way out is, it obviously doesn't lead outside - they'd be able to see out if it did, right? ]

Do you have anything to light?

[And neither does Rita--sure, the candles being blown out wasn't so surprising, but the rest of the lights?

A part of her is relieved that Tyr's still there. Not that she'd be afraid that he'd disappear while she couldn't see him or anything, but...]

Light a match or something? I don't think so...

Mm... [ He tries to think, looking around in the darkness (though he can't even see the little embers from her blast anymore).

The darkness feels more imposing when they're quiet, so he continues: ] We might have to just retrace our steps... All the lights in the house can't be out.

Dammit...if we had a flashlight... [But regretting won't help them get out, so she reaches out for Tyr, waving her hand around to try and find him.] Let's just hurry it up, okay?

Right... [ Tyr still feels a little careless for not bringing one when she mentions it. He was meant to help her, so he should be more prepared!

Her fingertips brush against his cloak, and a second later he reaches to hold her hand again. This would be the only way they could stay together unless they both just grabbed and followed the rope, and he knows she wouldn't want to do that. ]

Do you want to try that door? Since you broke it open already...

[Rita thinks he was surprisingly prepared with the rope, but considering how that turned out, she doubts a flashlight would really help them all that much.

In any case, she squeezes his hand as soon as he grabs hers.] If we're gonna retrace our steps, that's the way we'd have to go, anyway.

[ He smiles just a bit as he squeezes her hand back. ] You're right... [ He pulls at the rope and starts guiding them. ] Hopefully the lights are back in one of the other rooms...

[Even if she could see it, Rita doesn't particularly feel like smiling, though she keeps her grip on his hand as she moves with him.] They'd better be on, or I'll light up some of that furniture.

I wouldn't stop you if you chose to do that... [ He was planning to put out any fires she caused anyway. If they could burn enough for a torch, that'd work for him. ]
