Warnings: GENERAL HORROR, HALLUCINATIONS. WILL UPDATE AS THREADS ARE MADE.

SPECIAL NOTES: If you want to participate in this thread, PLEASE GO FILL OUT DONNA'S PERMISSIONS HERE!!!

The door to House Beneviento is wide open, the interior dark in comparison to the blazing sun outside.

It's a bit dreary, perhaps, even with the potted yellow flowers out on the porch that were likely an attempt to make it all seem a little more inviting...but it seems nice enough, and perhaps you've seen the painfully shy inhabitant and her outspoken puppet around Haven. Harmless enough. As you walk by the homely estate on 8 Miranda Lane, you glance into the dim foyer, just over the threshold standing oh-so-curiously unguarded.

You could swear you see movement in there, a flutter of a dress, maybe. And is that a giggle?

If you draw a little closer, just close enough to start smelling the porch planters, you look again.

In a blink, you see something or someone very personal to you, disappearing slowly into the home. Leading you inside. You gather yourself and cross through into a lit foyer, opening into a rather cozy living room, decorated with still more of those cheerful yellow flowers. It's actually rather homely indeed -

Until the door shuts and locks behind you.

((OOC: Angie is bored and Donna is still dealing with the shock of her powers coming back. If you enter the House, you will be drawn through a hallucinatory nightmare that is custom-tailored to your character. This begins with seeing something they can't resist going inside, then shortly after they start to explore, they will start to see Nightmares until they can find Donna and convince Angie to let you go. Don't worry, every one of you will be let go - if your character is overwhelmed or passes out, they will wake up on the porch with a cool cloth on their forehead and a note of apology from Donna.

Please fill out the permissions post above so I can properly customize your nightmares and know where your comfort levels are! Let's have some fun!))

Fran can't help but follow when she sees the shapes of her parents walking into the house. She calls out for them, but they don't seem to hear her. So she has no choice but to follow them into the house.

Once inside, she doesn't see them anymore. Just the room with the bright yellow flowers. The door looks behind her and Fran looks every which way, trying to find her parents again.

Giggling. There is giggling in the distance, and the room smells just sweet enough to be disorienting. There are some doll parts on the table in the living room - a couple porcelain arms, a head or two midway through painting, some half-stuffed bodies. Someone has certainly been here, but they don't seem to be right now.

There is a little tap-tap-tap sound coming from overhead, up the stairs and on the landing.

Sounds like little claws on wooden floors, doesn't it?

Fran reaches out to touch one of the half finished dolls, curious. The house itself is lovely. All dark wood, with a great big portrait on the wall of a woman and a doll. How interesting. What would her parents be doing in a house like this?

But then she hears the tap-tap-tapping upstairs and glances up, moving towards the staircase.

"Mister Midnight? You're not meant to be out. How did you get here?"

[ventriloschism]

As Fran approaches the stairs, the tapping gets louder - and Mister Midnight screeches, bolting down them and past her, whirling around the corner and past the dining table. He makes a mad dash past the dining set, nudging open a door in the back of the room and plowing through.

He seems scared, Fran. Better follow him, hm?
