do not ask why there are noises in the night: they are for you

[Well, let's see. It's three weeks into the month of October. Two dangerous mists have come and gone in as many weeks, and the air is brighter today, what a relief. But--there still seems to be a slight chill in the air. Perhaps the edge is the result of yesterday's rain

[rattling noises? In the crypt cabin?

w-well that's not too weird I guess, but . . .]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ah, no, it wouldn't be, would it. slowly, the wind is beginning to die out. leaving behind...nothing. you can't even hear your pets--they must all be in the other side of the crypt.]

[outofthenet]

Um. You guys? Is it just me or did it get really quiet all of a sudden?

. . . guys?

[cuebattlemusic]

[your words seem to echo of the walls. as you look around, the cabin is empty. very empty. there's a lot of room in here when no one's around, huh?]

[outofthenet]

Oh. Uh.

Guess I'm alone.

[good, that means I can huddle on my bed without getting weird looks]

[cuebattlemusic]

[I hope your blanket isn't thin, as the air around you seems to be getting colder.]

[outofthenet]

[shivers and wraps the blanket tighter, figuring it. must be a draft]

[cuebattlemusic]

[or perhaps it's later then you thought. the shadows are beginning to lengthen.]

[outofthenet]

Eh? It's getting dark already? I didn't think time flew when you're cold and alone . . .

[cuebattlemusic]

[mhm. but wait--is that the door swinging open?]

[outofthenet]

--GAH!!! [w-wasn't expecting that. jumping and messing up the blankets ;;]

[cuebattlemusic]

[a soft, skittering noise scratches across the floorbords]

[outofthenet]

[HUDDLING AGAIN]

[it stops right in front of your bed~]
