Chie hadn't gotten much sleep the past few weeks, too afraid of what might be waiting for her to sit still to take more than several cat naps throughout the long night. And it really did last a long time. Her run-ins with various ghosts were enough to make her wonder just what was wrong with this house, aside from the obvious. So she'd spent much of her time exploring, and by the time dawn finally broke on the house, she'd ended up in a theater. Giving the bodies on stage a wide berth, she'd gone to the back, behind the curtains, to examine the area there.

She tried the door, and found it didn't work. Maybe she could force it open?

Not since his first night there had one seemed to drag on forever. No matter who he found (and he was always happy to find people, because going through the night alone was just stupid) it was never quite who he was looking for. Worry, Yosuke would find, was only a short jump away from paranoia. There were ghosts all over the house, and he'd found nothing to do but run the hell away. What if she hadn't been so lucky? What if something had happened? What if she had spent the night utterly alone and mad at him? What if, what if, what if. His list of worries went on, and suddenly Yosuke hadn't much felt like sleeping or eating - not that he ever felt like eating at night. There was something about monster blood and guts that always seemed to steal his appetite away. He'd made it through the nights before well enough, but for the first time, Yosuke obviously looked as bad as he felt

APPARENTLY I LIKE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS GUYS.

Machi's search through the house took time, as he was painstakingly thorough--but not as much as one might think--there was a difference between being thorough and obsessive, and Machi hovered somewhere between the two. He had covered about a third of it when he reached the theatre, already familiar to him from previous exploration, but which still hung with useless rope and was still filled with unfinished wooden structures, empty chairs, and piles of debris... and which still smelled of blood

Chie turned quickly as she was addressed, her muscles tensing and preparing automatically for a fight. But no, it was just that strange boy from before, and anyway, it was dawn. The things went away in the daytime, right? She should really get some decent sleep...

But this boy was still there; she had been wondering if he had been some broken ghost, the way he acted. Killed more than once, and laughing all the while. Her brows knitted as she observed him.

"Are you looking for someone?"

Eventually, Yosuke made his way to the large theater. Glancing around, he tried to recall if he'd been here before. Parts seemed familiar, parts new and indistinct - his mind was so fuzzy, it was impossible to know if it was just playing tricks on him. Still, one thing about the room was clear: he didn't like it. Yosuke didn't know why, but something about the room rubbed him the wrong way. He was ready to just turn around and continue the search elsewhere. There wasn't anything there for him - he'd never miss it. That bright green was unmistakable. However, something stopped him in his tracks. A sound, faint, coming from further in. Conversation? He thought so, but he couldn't be sure. Letting out a groan, he pressed forwards. Voices were worth investigating, even if he didn't want to
