That's a lot of green. (open to two)

(( One concern, should we move / continue this topic at the actual Mansion thread or what? ))

"Do nothing of that sort again, unless we're all on the verge of death, or over."

It would have been bad.. if you two were hurt because of me.

Hero's consiousness stiffened with anxiety as they stepped within the old mansion. It's contents were now lit around the edges from the afternoon sunlight entering through the grimy windows and freshly opened door. It was as silent as a tomb, and the wooden floor creaked beneath them. Hero coughed nervously. Ever since the medics and he realized that he was suffering from an unknown trauma, he had become increasingly afraid of dark places. However, this was no time to be feeling fear - what needed so much protection that was in here?

(no, we're fine.)
"Stupid house," Holly muttered as she walked in. The foyer was slightly impressive, but it was mostly empty and dusty. "I don't see anything obviously awesome in here," she said, looking around. "However, I don't see any monsters, either."

"Still. We shouldn't let our guard down." Ariana said. She looked at hero for a while. "Are you unnerved of the darkness?" she said quietly. Her eyes scanned the two staircases - both led to left and right rooms that were joined by another path. The ground floor was relatively normal - left and right. "Well. Which room first, then,"

Hero nodded in accordance to Ariana's words. He took a few more steps into the mansion when,

Hnngg..

It became increasingly difficult to stand, as if gravity itself was intentionally weighing itself down on Hero. A speck of red trickled in the violet shade in Hero's eyes. After a few seconds, the sensation lessened, but Hero still felt a bit uneasy on his feet.

Master, there is much darkness within. Continuing on would be a rather unfitting course of action.

Hero ignored him and visited the first room. All that could describe it was dusty and musty. Furniture, paintings, everything was a dull mixture of brown and grey, created by fashioned cobwebs.

"What did this place use to be..?"

(Consulting memory...)
"Let's go left! I'll bet there is something cool!" Without waiting for the others, she charged up the stairs, and right to the door. It was locked, but she smiled, and touched her flower. Vines shot into the lock, and wiggled around. In a moment, the lock clicked, and Holly was able to open the door. She walked in, and her mouth gaped. The room was pure white, and the walls were covered in drawings. "Wow... Wonder who was in here?"

[ariana]

Following Holly warily, she eyed the inside of the exceedingly bright room compared to the other areas of the mansion. The difference in color itself was enough to shock Ariana into silence. "In we go." she said, walking inside. The whole room was bright white - not a single spot of other color except for the drawings. "What are these.." she muttered, inspecting them.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, a certain figure moved. Hero could not distinguish it because it moved very fast, but other than that, he just couldn't comprehend.. Two feet? He would have mistaken it for a heartless, but there was something wrong. Normally, when he encountered at least a heartless, he felt some form of heaviness in his heart due to his natural weakness against darkness. Now, something else formed in his heart.. what was it.. resentment? Hate? Something like a naturally occuring force that separated Hero and the creature like a dog and cat. His grip tightened on his crowbar. Without thinking, he lunged towards it, but it quickly evaded him, and ran down a seperate passage. Hero, his mind still filled with the same, unnatural rage that didn't belong to him, chased after, almost forgetting about Ariana and Holly.

Holly didnt even notice hero run off, occupied as she was with the pretty pictures. She picked up one of three people on an island. "I wonder who they are?" she murmured to herself. She put, it down, and looked at one on the wall. It had the same brown haired boy, but the redheaded girl, and the guy with the silver hair had been replaced. Instead, there was a dog and a duck. The boy had an odd weapon. "Ari, does this look like a giant key to you?"

[ariana]

Ariana gasped quietly, while Holy was inspecting the pictures, Hero ran off suddenly. "Ah! Her- oh forget it, I'm coming." she muttered, rolling her eyes. Dropping a picture, she neatly jumped over a chair and ran after Hero. He seemed to be seething with annoyance, and Ariana doubled back. "We should go after him, yes?" she said, more of a statement to Holy before running after Hero again.
