    With the X in place, the Lost retrace their steps. Back up and up and up - and again, the bannister falls away to the enclosed walls once again, there is the same door at the end, stepping through reveals that same tight hallway leading back towards the foyer.

    And yes, clear as day there is the X Rhodes placed.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Looking to Sonnie, “Is that the one with the doors and stairs to nowhere?” because that sounded right, but she wasn’t sure. “But why put that much effort in and not charge an insane price?” seems to her it would have been more expensive.

    “What was weird? The whole stairs thing? Cause that was weird.” Totally weird.

    Ok, so they were going with Rhodes suggestion. Was she upset? No, not at all. He was the Dread Lord and knew more then she did about not only Fear, but the occult. Maybe he had figured something out.

    There was a slight grimace as he marked the wall. Not something she would have done, as she was sure she had something that would have done less damage in her bag. But, with a shrug, she follows.

    She would be lying if she wasn’t hoping this would work. That last time had either been a fluke, or they missed a turn. But alas, the X was where Rhodes placed it and the Treasured pouts with a sigh. Looking to the other two, “Well, I know we’re smarter than a haunted house.” Cause of course they were. Well, Rhodes and Sonnie def were.

Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.

    "Yeah, it was really cool," she said to Rhodes, "It was also haunted! Though nothing spooky happened when I was there." Her attention turned to Seraphina, "Yeah, the one made by the rich old lady. Her family made the famous Winchester rifles in the Old West. She believed that if she ever stopped building the house, the ghosts of all those killed by her family's guns would drag her to hell or something. So she just kept adding on and remodeling parts her entire life. Place is a crazy maze." That's how Sonnie remembered the story, anyway. "Kinda like this place."

    "Weird? Uh, yeah, that's the weird part." She shrugged.

    Another go around, and back to the foyer. Rhodes' X was in place. Definitely the same room. Well, shit.

    "Are we, though?" the Beast half-jokingly suggested, in response to Sera's final comment.

    Fighting her growing sense of animalistic agitation, Sonnie went to examine a window. For smashing purposes.

    Rhodes frowns as they emerge. Interesting.

    The pout brings him a small smile. Against his current feelings, he slips over and kisses her lip. "Well, less the house, more the mind behind it. But I'm sure we are." He just needed a little more time to think.

    "Perhaps we should try the right archway," he said thoughtfully. "I do have a couple of other tricks I can try."

    He reached out with his senses, trying to achieve communion with the Air around.

    Glamour feeds into the Air, which swirls as the Clause is invoked. The currents titter, what did the Dread Lord want to know...?

    Communion of Air lets Rhodes sense the air around in a 40 (wyrdx10) yard radius. I was hoping it would help him navigate - see if the corridor does form a loop or if there is a break anywhere teleporting them back down. It also might show if there are people nearby.

    Treasured Nix

    To Sonnie, “I sense a road trip in out future!” the Nix wanted to check this place out. Thinking on her words, “Hmmm, so no real rhyme or reason to the layout? Does not work on our favor here.” But then again, in their world, reason meant very little. If she was to think there was something else at play here.

    “Of course, we are! We’re just giving whoever made this a confidence boost before we solve it.” Totally. Maybe. Or something.

    She accepts the kiss, finding it grounding and reminding her of what was important. “It’s not often there is a haunted house attraction that requires actual logic and thought. So, props to them for that I suppose.” She was expecting this to be a quick enter, get a few jump scares, and leave. But so far, it was proving to be a puzzle before scare. Which wasn’t bad.

    “Or the small hallway,” she begins, “retrace our steps and see if we end up right back here, or somewhere new.” But this wasn’t just her call to make. “Or the archway.” Wishing she had a Contract to make this easier, but none of hers were for navigating. At least, not when awake anyways.

    "Well, it is just down in San Jose..." she said passingly. She thought a moment, then shook her head. "Not in the same way, though. Winchester was a maze, but it was still an ordinary house built by human hands. This is... something else. We went up, but never came back down, and yet, here we are downstairs. It's like.. uh..." her Beast brain searched for the words she wanted to use, trying to verbalize the metaphysical thought, "It's like... space is bending?"

    Whew. She almost fried some brain cells putting that together.

    "Anyway, sure, let's try the archway," she gestured to it before heading that way.

    Sonnie ambles over to the archway, and goes through it. She can see Sera and Rhodes, and Sera and Rhodes can see her. Nothing spatial, or topsy turvy happens.


    For the Dread Lord who invoke his Communion with Air, waits for the eddies and currents to swirl around him, lending echoing voices to his ear.

    "Door's locked! Door's fucking locked!"

    "Where's the doorknob?!"

    "Why wont the windows break?"

    "Dude. it's the void out there. why the fuck would you want to break a window."

    "We go up and it's down. So - "

    " - Down is up!"

    "- fuck. what the fuck. what the fuck."



    Figured, I just wanted to make sure!

    The Flowering nodded in agreement with Sera's thought s on their environment. It was unusual... but impressive nevertheless.

    "I think..."
    he started, having to make this sound as if it was his own idea, "it is based on opposites. So if we attempt to head downwards, we will appear on the first floor. Let's try the archway, see if we can find some steps 'down'." The currents of Air had chosen to show hime the past, rather than the present. But still, not without their use, giving insight inot their predecessors here.

    He steps after Sonnie and her staff.
