starhuevalley | Mingle post: Haunted House Maze

What: Sebastian opens a haunted-house maze
When: Open for the entire month of October 1 to 31, but the post is open forever. Open in the late afternoons to late nights, the haunted house is closed after midnight. If you visit the house after 9pm, the lights of the house will shut off and the house is completely dark, but flashlights will be given to guests.
Other information: Just put in your subject title if you're OTA or if you want to lock it if you have parties/CR involved in mind! There are convenient NPCs on the premises to serve as actors or security guards. Please don't injure or kill them, they are residents and locals from that valley Sebastian hired to maintain the house and as the manager, he protects them. Otherwise, feel free to accidentally break any props or furniture while on the property, but Sebastian will immediately replace them. More info and house layout on the ooc comm if you have questions to ask!

"Good evening and greetings everyone. I am Sebastian, the butler of the Phantomhive Household. On the behalf of the Earl Phantomhive, I want to announce that we officially open a haunted house to celebrate this month's festivities. There's a fee for admissions so visit us during opening hours. If you have any questions, feel free to ask my staff on the premise or ask me any questions you may have. All are invited and welcome."

The haunted house is a classic Victorian house, a small size manor that is located on a hill where everyone can see the decorations of pumpkins and ghouls being placed on the frontyard. A steep cobblestone step leads up toward the house. The signs outside on the front to make it look ominous and scary with stoney ridgeback gargoyles guarding the front gate.

The house is not really haunted, but Sebastian sure decorates and designed it to look that way. At the front desk, the clerk on duty handed out maps and everyone is given a map of the house's layout upon entry and the map shows the emergency exit signs. If the guests visit after 9pm, the house is completely dark and flashlights will be given to guests.

The house has four levels and the property is categorized into five zones: The first floor, the second floor, the third floor, and the fourth floor which happens to be the attic. The fifth zone is the hedge maze garden which is located in the backyard and is connected to one of the exits.

Sebastian usually doesn't have a lot of spare time, being the butler of his young master and maintaining the household during the day. Entertainment establishment such as this one falls under public promotions and relations when he needs to represent the Phantomhive brand for the Young Master's company.

So usually, Sebastian comes much later in the evenings after serving dinner, with him managing the staff he employs for the haunted house and manned it behind the front desk. He makes sure everyone is rehearsed for their parts and were positioned in the right rooms of the house while keeping tabs of the employees and the cashiers, and greeting customers behind the front desk at the entrance door.

[OOC: Sebastian is working behind the front desk, so for this top-level, you can ask him questions or ask him to give a tour, etc. OTA means it's open for everyone! He also closes the house after closing time.]

Sheena hadn't even hesitated in accepting Abel's invitation to the haunted house. After all, this was all in good fun. She had seen the video and was actually on the verge of contacting him when he beat her to the punch. Of course, no haunted house can truly be appreciated unless it's at night, so it was late when they arrived.

Picking up a map and a flashlight, Sheena flicked hers on and held it under her chin in typical "scary" fashion and gave Abel a wide-eyed look and spoke in a "spooky" voice.

"Are you ready to be scared, Abel?"

Because she sure was.

[OPEN]

[Of course he was there to see what had become of his idea. And he has to admit that Sebastian has, as usual, outdone himself. He never really doubted him, even with the changes they'd both gone through by being on other worlds.

What he sees is what he's most used to. The house looks a great deal like one back in England, which he instinctively knows means there's plenty of rooms to get lost in or get frightened. He's actually a little worried that some people really might get lost for a long period here.

At least Sebastian probably knows the layout perfectly if they need to search for anyone.]

[CLOSED TO SOMAKEMELAUGH AND NOFAKES]

[He knows Halloween is Undertaker's favorite holiday, and with his brother back from the dead, it all seems too perfect. Even if he and his twin are off to a rocky start, they're still brothers, and they're all family. A bit of time together really can't hurt.

And it's a better way for them to spend time together than anything he'd have thought up. Which is to say, he wouldn't have been able to come up with anything even vaguely interesting.

Once they're all there, he's already gotten flashlights for all three of them, although he imagines he and Undertaker will be more comfortable with them than his brother, coming straight from England.]

[When Rip heard about a haunted house, she wanted to go. It was just.. finding time to go. Eventually, she'd make time and of course, She had her infant daughter in tow as she eagerly checks out the haunted house.

Whether her husband decided to come with.. she left that up to him. To her, haunted houses were laughable and something she usually went to just to see how silly they were.]

Most will likely think a haunted house requires a spooky costume. However Ciel has another idea entirely: from his white, fluffy wings to his white robes and his halo, he is as far from gruesome as possible. On the outside, at least. Those who know him will realize that this is perhaps the scariest costume he could ever wear.

He enters the house like he owns the place - no surprise there - and he smirks at anyone who is already enjoying the sights and sounds.

"Are you afraid?" his expression will fall dramatically, "Poor thing. Let me escort you!"
