Friday Night Roleplay

Lifting herself up off of the floor, Millie brushed herself off. She understood now that perhaps she'd done a little too much with the powder she'd used for her outfit. She put out the flames at the ends of her blonde, curled locks and looked about herself, her eyes finding no one she knew inside the pub. So, instead she left, walking out into the cool October air, finding herself uncomfortably surrounded by students - many of whom she did not know.

Cursed, beaten, and broken, Nerissa had taken shelter in the closest place to home that she had been capable of achieving. With Hogswarts so close, and yet, so far out of her reach, the Shrieking Shack had unintentionally become Nerissa's shelter from the cold world outside. Autumn's harsh winds and the evil men and women who hid in the shadows that the season provided had become far too much for Nerissa to bear. And thus, she had gathered her few belongings and waited; waited for an evening during which she would be found by someone she recognized, and would be drawn back towards the warmth of the school that she had been locked out of.

Nerissa woke with a start from her slumber as the sound of nearing voices met her ears. She had hidden in the darkest corner of the abandoned shack when a group of older men and woman had visited the place, and had added on to it with decorations that were worthy of a haunted house. She had expected the arrival of students prior to this preparation for Halloween, and yet, her heart began to race beneath her dirtied flesh as they approached.

Cautiously, she stood from the floor. "H" - she coughed. Her voice was rough and unused. "Hello?"

As they arrived at the house, Hitame could basically feel the color drain from her face. She had seen some scary things before and not many things scared her anymore, but this. This was just plain scary, even for her. She looked up at the house with scared eyes and took a step closer to Brian. "We're... going in... there?" she asked, a small high pitched whimper escaping her lips. It wasn't very loud though, and she doubted many heard it. She put her hand on Brian's arm gently and grabbed onto it. If she had to do this, it was obvious she was scared.

((Remember to keep your post lengths down, particularly Hitame and Red, definitely quite long xD))

"Well," Sam said, his spine tingling as he looked around the house, still wary of the dementor look alike - it was too realistic in his opinion - and cringed. "Well, what're we waiting for," he said, trying to sound far more brave than he actually was.

Millie bounced down the path, feeling light an airy. It was at the bottom of said path that she found a group of kids, some younger than her, one about the same age - and upon closer inspection, she realised it was Sam. "What's going on?" Millie asked curiously, glancing up at the imposing house looming over them.

Brian was, admittedly, scared. But, he felt Hitame grab onto her arm and something inside him clicked. He had to be brave, at least for her. "Don't worry." He said bravely, standing a little taller and feeling a weird bravery flood through him. "It is just a haunted house, nothing could go wrong." He looked at Hitame and he smiled to reassure her.

( When we approach the man explains the rules. We can only go in in pairs. Each group will follow behind after five minutes. Our wands cannot produce any light inside of the house. The only way out is the exit on the other side. From here on out write with your partner.


Brian and Hitame were first. He knew Hitame was going to be scared, but he would be brave for her. He did not walk very fast, and he let her hold onto his arm. They had not gone in very far when a ghost shot out of the wall. It made Brian jump to the side, but he did not lose Hitame. He kept his hold on her because it was pitch black dark. "That scared me a little." Brian said with a smirk before continuing on.

Sam swallowed loudly as Brian and Hitame disappeared into the house, the darkness engulfing them completely and the whole house going unnaturally quiet for a few seconds as if it was preoccupied with eating them up. Of course, that was just his mind playing tricks with him, and soon enough it was the next pair's turn. "Come on Rhys," he said, grabbing her hand, squeezing it and walking forward. "Wish us luck," he shouted back, before walking past the man and into the house, his mind racing.
(Sorry it was long, just an intro post for the new area)

"Geeeeeeeet soooooooooome!" Keith shouted as Sam and Rhys entered the house.

"Aw yeah, I'm totally next!" He shouted, waving his muggle-metal-death-wand around wildly. "Who's coming with me? You?" He continued, pointing at the 5th year Gryffindor girl that had just walked up. You'll do. Chaaaarge!" He shouted, grabbing Melissa's wrist and charging headfirst into the haunted house.

Rhys felt Sam grab her hand, and she pushed herself forward, and pressed against his back, as they passed the Dementor thing, and she kept close to Sam, staring around the room. "Oh wow.. it's crazy dark in here!" She said, pulling out her wand to light it. "Lumos.." She said and expected light. Nothign happened. "Oh wow.. that sucks." she said stowing away her wand and pressing closer to Sam. "Come on.. I see something sparkly over there!" She said gripping his hand.
