\*“This book is too damn scary!” bluethree mutters as she slams the book shut. To ease the tension, she initiates a pillow fight with her her teenage girlfriends. “Tee hee hee,” they peal, before they notice that with the windows thrown open to the night, it is growing cold, terribly cold…\* ---

\*What? What was that noise? \* **Gartog** seems to forget about the wondering monster he begins creeping to the stairs. a low mumbling emanates from somewhere in the region of his lips \*It sounds like someone is in the lab . . . . Those pesky kids Although I could do with a few spare parts 😁 ---

_Come on, **bobkitty**. I think I hear a noise over here._ ::Glancing around, finding a hidden panel:: _This looks like it leads to a lab of some sort. Come on! I hear something moving on the other side._ ---

The hunched back figure of **Gartog** slowly climbs the stairs he limps along the hallway inaudibly whispering things to himself. He stops just in front of one of the many bookcases lining the hallway, he drags his misshapen fingers across one of the shelves, they pull one of the books and a low mechanical sound is heard rumbling through the house. The book case swings aside revealing a darkened room, at the far end of the room a door is open and two figures stand silhouetted in the door way, **Gartog** looks across the lab, staring in to **Superdudes** eyes. Time seems to stop, just for a second, and then . . . . ---

… **Superdude** stares across the room at **Gartog** , immobilzed by fear. Instinctively, **bobkitty** recoils behind him. **Superdude** watches the hunched shape of **Gartog** start sidling across the room, wrinkled, misshapen hands opening and closing. The temperature in the room starts dropping in degrees, while sounds unlike that which **Superdude** or **bobkitty** have ever heard emanate from **Gartog** ’s mouth:: _Fichie! Nogawo cropenia wilnoe! Klaatu Baraada Nikto!_ **Superdude** ’s limbs betray his instinct to flee, and he cannot move. _ **bobkitty**! Run!_ ---

Oooohh… look! It’s the hunchback from that Disney movie! And he’s gotten the door open for us! ::scampers across the room, meeting **Gartog** partway… pouncing on him, she knocks him playfully to the floor and pins him underneath her:: Hi! There’s all sorts of weird stuff going on here, and we need to find our friends. Can you help us? Oh, and can you release my friend over there from your weird mind-control spell? It didn’t work on me, you know, 'cause I’m a special kitty. 😃 ---

Wolfstu eases the terrified **jarbabyj** to the floor. She continus her screaming. He reaches out to try and console her… with an arm consumed by the maniacal machine implants. This just makes her scream louder. _I won’t hurt you_, he says, _It’s just me_. Slowly, holding tight on to the wall, Jarbaby comes to her wits again. It hasn’t been an easy night. Fearful things are going on in this house. She opens her mouth, and suggests:"… ---

-= **DarkJudicator** stumbles though the front door, carrying an empty gasoline can and soaked through to the bone. =- Hello? Is anyone here? My car ran out of gas about a mile down the road… next to a bunch of other abandoned cars… weird, that. I just need some gas and I’ll be out of here. -= Silence. Shrugging, **DJ** goes wandering up the antique staircase, nervously glancing over his shoulder every time a step creaks underfoot. Silly boy, he doesn’t realise that every horror flick has to have an Obligatory Dispensable Latecomer who either ends up posessed or eaten by the BAD THINGS - he’ll learn, won’t he? Bwahahah… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA_coughchokesplutter_. =- -= Sorry about that, just needed a glass of water. Anywho, **DJ** hesitantly makes his way down the long corridor, running his eyes over the ornate antique weaponry hung on the walls. He shivers a little - from the cold, of course - and tries to ignore the sounds that the wind carries. They almost sound like faint voices [sub]join us… join us…[/sub] =- ---

**Demise** staggers into the room and collapses. “Don’t…go in…there…” he wheezes, “that…bathroom hasn’t…been cleaned in…over…a…hundred years…” His eyes roll back in his head and he lays silently, breathing shallowly. ---

Damn!\* Hefting his Shotgun he made his way up the steps, he could hear the screaming inside… “What’s causing all this?” He wondered out loud. He jumped when a voice behind him rasped; “That’s easy. The Illumanti and the Old Ones.” Turning around, **Space Ghost** gasped. It was… ---

_ **bobkitty** you are quite charming my dear_ **Gartog** lifts **bobkitty** of his chest by the scruff of her neck, holds her aloft and looks her in the eye. _It can get lonely up here in the lab, I try to make new friends but the parts I use as not as good as they could be_:sigh:\*Of course the introduction of cremation has reduced the number of available parts too.
