*Attention mansion: you have a rather creepy pest problem. Markus has discovered that there's ventilation shafts and if he crawls around in them he can spy on people from their ceiling vents. That strange, unsettling sensation of being watched while you're sleeping? It might actually have some merit if you're brave enough to look

[Tra la la, painting her nails wow she seems to do that a lot, nothing weird going on here and--AAAHH WHAT?!]

What the fuck?! [Oh good, now the nail polish is all over her bed.] Oh my god how long have you been there?!

[timisnotme]

*Well that's marginally more interesting than what she HAD been doing. Do that flaily thing again....*

Hour.

*Guess what he's gonna do? Pop that vent off so he could hop down into her room. He doesn't yet. But the threat is there.*

[itsahotone]

A--an hour?! How--why--?!

[And how had she not freaking noticed until now? She jumps when the vent clangs to the floor. Oh god she really doesn't want to die.]

[timisnotme]

Because were there.

*He sure doesn't SOUND like Tim at all.*

[and I just got him out of the bathroom sleeping habit.]

[In spite of the amount of energy to pretend he's fine in front of others, Seimei spends his time in his room caved inward. Especially when he thinks he's not being observed. There's a nervous awkward tension in the room as if something explosive is going to happen any moment by the way Seimei paces and his disturbed expression.

The sacrifice picks up books and sets them down, then takes the same books back. The cycle continues three times, each time the delay between the action decreases. It stops suddenly as Seimei throws the books at a mirror as hard as he can.

Dorine makes a startled snuffle and moves under Seimei's pillow. Seimei stands there tail trashing back and forth. His mind is clearer now having alleviated some of the stress. It's about this time he notices the vent Masky.]

Who's there? If I have to drag you out I will.

My timing is perfect!

[timisnotme]

*For a little while he just watches Seimei through the vent, fascinated by this man with cat parts, then he kicks the cover of the vent down into the room with a loud clang.*

Drag? Couldn't reach.

*He's staying up in the vent, for now, but at least he has a better view without the vent cover in the way. This is that man from the forest, the one who wasn't afraid of him, at least not as far as Masky could tell, Masky's not going to stop watching this one anytime soon.*

Seimei cautiously starts to back away towards his bookcase. Time to try and get something to jab at him from the closet!

"It wasn't a very good threat but it's still a threat. That means Go away or I'll do something that you won't like. And while you're at it don't mention that I lost my temper."

[timisnotme]

Won't.

*Mostly because he doesn't know what that is. He crawls a few feet to a different vent so he has a grate between him in Seimei in case he starts throwing things.*

What will do? Am up here. Are down there.

[Shinjiro isn't sleeping tonight, anyway. He's been spending the entire evening shaking slightly and covered in a fine sheen of sweat after stopping taking a drug he really shouldn't have cold-turkey. His face is twisted in pain every once in a while, but suddenly his eyes dart to the ventilation shaft and narrow dangerously. Shinji's never really in a good mood, but this one is worse than usual.]

Who's there? Might as well stop creepin'. [After his conversation with Tim, he's got a good idea, but he's not calling the creeper out. Yet.]

action.

[timisnotme]

*Telling Masky to stop creeping is like telling someone to stop breathing. He tilts his head at the man below him. He's been watching for a while and just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with him.*

Are injured?

action.

[castoredux]

[A pause, but he doesn't move from the bed.]

Why do you care, mask-boy?

Re: action.

[timisnotme]

Would be easier to kill if injured already.

Are not bleeding.

Hey Markus! What're you doing?

Re: [Video]

[timisnotme]

In vents. Can see things!

[cull_means_care]

Oh! What kind of things?

[timisnotme]

People. Places. Rooms can't get to.

[Spencer had actually mostly managed to put Masky out of her mind. Since the near-confrontation with Wesker, she hasn't had much to do with the masked persona and she'd kind of hoped it meant he was done with her.

Until she hears a scuffling overhead. She looks up from the book she was reading, dropping it with a startled yelp]

What the hell?!

[action]

[timisnotme]

*He crawls along to the next vent, staring down at her. Then he realizes who she is.*

Are from before. With other with red eyes.

*He doesn't sound happy about this realization.*

[action]

[scary_enough]

[Spencer all but leaps to her feet, moving to grab her hockey stick. Because that's really going to help. Still her posture is defensive]

Yes. And if I hadn't been there, that's a situation that would have escalated far beyond what happened.

Re: [action]

[timisnotme]

What would have done then?
