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.

Closed to Abel
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.
no subject
Tucking away the map, but holding the rental flashlight and flicked it on.
She's not scary...yet. "They weren't kidding when they said it's completely dark." He said. "I'll try to brave this. I would like to see if they can give me a good heart attack." Since admittedly there are very few things that scare him.
Getting inside the entrance door and see the other side is completely dark and heard strange eerie sounds from people who went previously before, waiting for her to check. Instinctively, making sure she follow and stick close to him. "Remember, in case we get lost, we can use the phone or find our way back here to the lobby."
no subject
Definitely a step up from what she had recently been through.
And she's doing her utmost to add to the atmosphere and be scary, flicking the flashlight still under her chin off and on. Leaving it on, she gives him an impish smile. "Well, that's certainly one way to rate a haunted house," she says with a chuckle.
Keeping the light on, she follows him, her eyes glistening at the darkness beyond. Still in "imp" mode, there's more than a hint of mischievousness in her voice when she responds. It may not just be the people in the house he has to worry about scaring him tonight.
"Oh yeah, I remember. By the way, I did mention that ninja happen to like the night and the dark, didn't I?"
Explains so much, doesn't it?
no subject
At this point, Abel braced himself. He wasn't used to this type of entertainment. He usually likes quiet places to meditate and study, like the beach and garden to read, write, or immerse in his paintings. Probably Sheena is more enthusiastic than he is, which is unfortunate for him.
Hearing a lot of screaming and yelling from the other guests. "I don't expect this place to be noisy!" At that, he kept his own flashlight on while trying to navigate through the darkness without clumsily bumping his foot against the furniture in the dark rooms.
Explains quite a bit! "I don't think you mentioned before. But now that you did, I guess you went through all of that training---ACK!" At this point, a scary bloodied clown just jumped out of the corner, seemingly out of nowhere to give the poor priest a fright. "Bloody hell, don't scare me like that!"
Who knew the mild-mannered priest can swear a bit, even in a place like this?
no subject
Moving with him, Sheena tilted her head slightly. "Yeah, there does seem to be more screaming than I expected. Maybe it's a really large group?" The ninja kept going, keeping her guard down so she could be frightened silly when the time came. Otherwise, she might punch someone instead of enjoying it.
And she wasn't disappointed. Although, she wasn't sure what startled her more: The clown leaping out at her, or Abel's reaction to said clown. Looking at her friend, her concerned gaze was revealed in the beam of her flashlight.
"Abel, are you all right? We can go back if you want."
If he wasn't enjoying himself, then Sheena wouldn't.
no subject
The clown that scared Abel is circling around him, and Abel realized basing on the height, it's probably a teenager who is good at scaring folks out of nowhere, though the actor is making growling noises at him, and if it weren't for Abel learned politeness, he is sorely tempted to growl back as he realized the clown...isn't scary enough for him.
Then with a smile, as Abel uses the flashlight to aim a beam of light toward the hallway. "I'm all right, I just didn't expect that. So please, let's continue..I'm sorry about that." He meant the swearing as he used to swear when he was much younger. "We can continue." Then with a laugh, sensing Sheena is worried. "Let see what's beyond the hall, maybe toward the living room. Looks like the group before us have passed to the next room."
They just started, and there's plenty of rooms to explore and tour around. After all, it takes much more than a clown to scare a
former blood-thirsty crusnikpriest away.no subject
But judging from the previous group's screams, his method is pretty effective.
"If you're sure," she says, turning her light down the hall. So he reacts the same way she does when startled, huh? "And don't worry about the swearing." She gives a sheepish chuckle. "I can get a little carried away myself." "Little" being an understatement. She checks her map against the rooms he's mentioned and nods. "Okay, let's go."
Maybe they'll run into something that will legitimately scare them both--and not just startle them into cursing. Or hitting.
