private Sanctuary, Appaloosa (1x1 Reboot w/ driz)
Jack Baker replied to Jack Baker's topic in Everfree Roleplays
@driz Honey Glow did not respond, instead running towards her like mad. Once she was in range she began to try and stab Lory repeatedly in the face, with no intent on stopping. ((OOC: Last post for tonight )) -

@driz Raze shook his head. "All I'm doing is keeping you safe..." he said to himself. He approached the door and the banging seemed to stop as soon as he did. Thunder sounded outside, almost startling Raze a bit. He opened the door slowly. All the light from the basement had shut off, and it was pitch black. He carefully made his way down. As he did, he thought he heard something... like groaning. He stopped in his tracks, as he could see someone slowly crawling up the stairs. Not sure what to do, he stood still... Suddenly the figure rushed up into his face, and he got a good look. It was Honey Glow, although she didn't look the same as before. Her yellow coat was now grayish in color, her eyes black as night. Her face looked diseased, and her teeth were the color of tar. She groaned in front of Raze, who jumped back. "What the hell?!?!" he exclaimed, but before he could do anything else, she grabbed him by the neck and, with some sort of superhuman strength, threw him back upstairs and against the wall. "Agh!!" he yelled out, slumping on the ground. He slowly stood up, and when he got back up fully, she was already standing in front of him, holding a knife backhanded. She was about to stab him, but he grabbed her arm and pushed her away, backing up to where Lory was. Honey Glow quickly recovered, and charged towards Raze. "No wait wait wait, WAIT!!" he yelled at her, before she pounced on him, bringing him to the ground and trying to stab him. He used his arms to block her, feeling the knife graze him from time to time. He tried pushing her away, but she recoiled, and came back in quickly. He manage to shield himself at the last minute, but the knife went through his palm. "GAAAAHHH!!!" Raze cried out in pain. -

@driz Raze spotted something lying on top of a drawer. It looked to be a map of some sort. He picked it up and examined the contents. Upon further inspection, he saw it was a layout of the interior of the house. "So this is the guest house..." he said while reading it. "This'll be useful..." He folded it and put it in his backpack, then kept moving. He passed by an open room; peeking inside, it looked like a bathroom of some sort. He noticed a green bottle on the counter that had a label with a first aid cross on it. He picked it up. Turning it around, he found some words on the back in bold font: "First Aid Med". "...Huh," he said, unscrewing the lid and smelling it. It almost smelled like... rubbing alcohol. She might've been hurt... he thought, putting the bottle in his bag. I'll save it for when we find her... Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the other end of the hall he had just come from. Peeking his head out of the bathroom, he could hear banging coming from the basement door. He looked at Lory, then back at the door. He sighed. "...Stay here," he said to her. "I'm gonna check it out." He carefully made his way to the door. -

@driz Raze opened the door and quickly looked around to see where they were. It looked like a well lit hallway of some kind. There were a few windows placed around, though he couldn't see anything outside. Night had already fallen, and along with it came pouring rain. No sign of the girl anywhere. Carefully, he made his way around, his guard up. -

@driz Raze sighed. "Look... it's obvious to me that the girl's been traumatized. Someone did this to her, probably the same someone that killed her friend. We have to get her to a police station and show them this tape... but we need to find a way out first." He spotted another room nearby. "Come on. Let's check that place out." He led Lory to the room, all the way to the back. A dead end. "...Well, I wasn't expecting the room to be this small..." he said. "Maybe we can--" "AHHHHHH!!!" A high pitched squeal came from the other room. "Let go of me!! Leave me alone!!! AAHHHH!!!" There was a loud crashing noise, then... silence. Raze quickly ran back towards Honey Glow, and saw she was missing, however there was a hole in the wall that seem to lead to another room in the house. "Shit!" he exclaimed. "Come on!!" He motioned for Lory to follow, and he entered the room. Seeing a flight of stairs leading up, he began to climb them. -

@driz Honey Glow turned around to look at Lory. "I tried multiple times to escape from here... I ended up memorizing where to go, when the family weren't so sure I'd be able to break out..." "Wait a minute..." Raze interrupted her. "Did you say 'family'?" Honey Glow began to look scared when he said it. "Y-y-yes... that's what they called themselves... t-that's what they called me..." They came to a stop at some crates and a small metal shelf. It looked like there was just enough room for them to squeeze through. "Through here!" she said to both Raze and Lory. "The family used to bring me food through here..." Throughout, Raze was unsure of the whole situation. What kind of family did she meet? The Goldhooves? No, that was impossible. A better question was why this family was keeping her down here? What did they want? And why did they murder Silver Colt? So many questions, so little time to ask... "Here it is!" Honey Glow exclaimed, a hint of joy in her voice. She pointed to a lit room. "Through here! There's a door here we can get ou..." Her voice trailed off as she stopped right in front of a boarded up wall. "No... nonononono! It's not here, it's gone! It's GONE!" Tears began to leak from her eyes and she started crying a bit, then stopped as her gaze turned into that of complete despair. "We're gonna be a family... now that you're here..." She made her way to a nearby couch and slumped down in it. "There was a door there... I'm sure of it..." Raze didn't know what to say at first, but put a reassuring hand on her head. "Look, don't worry, everything's gonna be fine. Just stay here alright? We'll look for another way out." -

@driz Honey Glow turned around, frantic. "There's no time... we have to get out of here, fast! Before he comes back..." She pointed to the hall in front of her. "We need to go this way." Raze quietly followed behind her. After a minute of silence, he spoke. "You know, I should probably mention... it's been a couple of weeks, almost a month since you came here." She slowed down to look at him. "W-what...? I know I've been here a while but... almost a month...?" He nodded slowly. "It's June now." She looked like she was about to cry. "Oh no... my family... Mom, Dad..." "How old are you?" he asked her. She sniffled. "17." "Where're you from?" "Ponyville..." "Ponyville?! That's miles from here!" She sniffled again, and nodded. "This way..." she led them over to a somewhat tight corridor that opened up into a bigger room. She hid behind the corner, peeking out just a bit, before moving forward again. "What the hell is this place? Why were you locked in a room?" he asked. "Not now... not when he's probably looking for us... once we get out of here... I'll tell you everything, I swear!" -

@driz Raze looked around for anything that might help them get the door open, like a key to the lock that held the chains together. He spotted a pair of bolt cutters on a table nearby. He quickly walked toward them and picked them up. As he was about to cut open the chain, he noticed something else on the table: a sheet of paper. Upon further inspection, there were various names written on it, with either the words "dead" or "turned" next to them. Silver Colt's name turned up amongst them, "dead" written next to it. There were a couple of other names he recognized: Artic Breeze and Honey Glow. Nothing was written next to them, which Raze thought meant they were still alive somehow. Still... this list bothered him. "What the hell is going on here...?" he said quietly to himself, but shook his head. First, he had to help out the girl in the cell. He walked over to the door. "Hold on, move a bit," he said to Lory, putting the bolt cutters over the chains and pushing firmly on the handles. The chains broke, and the door was open. Raze quickly went over to the girl, and slowly nudged her on the shoulder. "Hey! Heeey!" he whispered into her ear. "You ok?" He turned her over to get a better look at her. She was... unharmed. Not a single scratch on her. She had a yellowish coat and a bright orange mane. And her face... She's the girl from the tape! Raze said. Honey Glow... "Ugh... who..." she said slowly, and began to wake up. "Hey, are you ok?" he said to her quietly. "C'mon, sit up..." He tried to help her up. "...Huh...?" she said groggily, then realizing what was happening, suddenly became more alert. "Wait... w-who are you people? What are you doing here...?!" "Woah, easy there..." he said to her. "We're not going to hurt you, we just wanna help. You're Honey Glow, right?" "Yeah... hold on... how do you know my name?" He pulled out the videotape from the kitchen. "We saw you in this. You gave your name at the beginning of the tape." She wearily took the tape from his hands and quietly read the label. Suddenly, her eyes showed signs of panic, and she stood up. "W-where's Arctic? Where's Silver? Are they ok?!" She tried to walk out the door. "Hooooold on there, we don't know where they are... you're the only person that we've seen in the entire building!" Raze half-lied to her, not wanting to tell her that her friend's rotting corpse was just a few feet from where they were. She lowered her head, showing signs of sadness, but then quickly showed signs of urgency. "Did anyone see you come down here? Did HE see you?!" Raze was confused. "'He'? Who the hell's 'he'?" Her breath began to become unsteady, and she looked scared. "Daddy's coming! We need to go!" "Waitwaitwait-- 'daddy'? What the--" "We need to leave RIGHT NOW!!!" She quickly exited the cell and went past where the bolt cutters went. Raze gave Lory a confused glance. "Who the fuck is 'daddy'?" Then shook his head and followed Honey Glow. -

@driz "Yeah, and you're not supposed to panic in a situation like this!" Raze said to her while trying to catch up. "The last thing you wanna do is panic, so calm down!! We'll find a way out, I swear..." He opened the door and looked around. It was somewhat of a small room with cobblestone walls, nothing out of the ordinary, save for the toilet filled with syringes. He didn't want to know. To the right of the toilet was another path which he followed. It led to a straight hallway, and at the end of it, a brightly lit room with a cell door. "Hold on, what's that?" he said, then carefully made his way over to the door. Peeking through the bars, he saw... a girl, laying sideways on a bed. Her back was turned towards him, so he couldn't see what it was. "Oh, shit..." Raze started to say, and was about to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. He saw that it was chained up. "Lory! Take a look. There's someone inside here..." -

@driz Raze immediately caught her, and gently set her down. "I don't know if that was supposed to be a threat, but... whatever. Let's keep it moving." He saw an entrance ahead and began to walk toward it, but not until he noticed something else to his right. It was a corpse, filled with maggots. Silver Colt's. "Tch..." he grit his teeth, averting his eyes from the horrible sight. "Sorry, bud... hope the afterlife treats you better... Well, now we know that tape is definitely real. We gotta report this to the police." He made his way through the entrance and turned left. There was a small ledge that he dropped down, then turned right, coming across a long hallway with a wooden door at the end of it. -

@driz "Hate me later when we're both out of here alive," he said, crouching beneath the hidden entrance. He made his way over to the wooden ladder and slowly began to climb down, but after making his way down a few steps, one of the rungs snapped, causing him to lose his grip and fall. "Agh!" Raze exclaimed, startled, as he landed on the ground with a loud thud. "Ughhh... damn it," he said, carefully getting up. He inspected himself. No real damage whatsoever. He then opened his backpack to see if his camera took any damage. Surprisingly, it was fine. He looked up at Lory. "Don't worry I'm fine! But I'm gonna need you to jump down. Don't worry, I'll catch you!" He held his arms out. -

@driz "Alright sure, keep doing the thing you know isn't gonna work. See where that gets us!" Raze retorted back. "Look, whoever did that is probably gone by now, and we don't even know what's down there yet! What if the place opens up to the outside world? I'd rather take that chance than stay up here all night banging on a door that refuses to open no matter what we do. Besides, you'll fine; I used to serve in the Royal Guard you know, I'm more than prepared to take on whatever comes at us. Now you coming or what?" -

@driz Raze was about to grab the boards off the windows, but then stopped after getting a closer look. "Wait, wait!" He told her, grabbing her shoulder to stop her. "Look carefully. The boards... they're covered in barbed wire for some reason. No... there's gotta be a better way." He went back to the living room and straight towards the fireplace shown on the tape. Sure enough, the handle was still there. He gave it a tug, and the secret compartment opened. "Hey, come on!" he called out to Lory. "I found another way!" -

@driz Raze looked at her, then put both hands on her shoulders. "Look, calm down. I don't know what that was--well, I do know what that was but-- that's besides the point!" He let go of her and began to think. "This could have a something to do with those missing persons reports back in town. Something's not right with this place, and it's not ghosts. Least, I hope it isn't..." he looked at Lory. "Alright, we gotta leave, c'mon!" He quickly made his way out of the living room and back around the kitchen towards the front door. He stopped and saw that it had mysteriously closed. "Wait, we didn't close that, did we?" He walked up to it and turned the knob. The door began to move, but stopped. "What the--" he tried again and again, forcing it to open. He tried kicking it twice, but it wouldn't budge. "Damn it!" he said, banging his fist once on the door. -

@driz Raze sighed in disbelief at Rory exclaiming about charging her phone. "You really didn't have time to charge it before we left?" he said. "Besides, aren't you forgetting something? Like how strange this whole situation seems? Why would there be electricity here if no one's been home for three years? Power company would have shut it off a long time ago. Unless they had backup generators or something, which even then someone would have to keep those fueled... you know what, forget it. Let's see what that static is. Raze began walking towards the direction of the noise until he found himself staring at a door to his right. He opened it, and entered what looked like a living room or a lounge. In the right-hand corner of the room, he could see a TV, still functioning... somehow; the source of the static. He slowly walked over to it, and noticed a functioning VHS player sitting on top of it. He took out the videotape he grabbed earlier out of his backpack and looked at the player. "How convenient..." he said. "Well... better time than never to see what this tape is." He put the tape carefully into the VHS, and hit play. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The VHS color bars appeared, followed by a loud droning beep. The footage then cut to a screen showing basic information about the tape, with the date and the supposed title of the video: "House Footage". A name was shown underneath the date: "Arctic Breeze". Probably the guy who recorded it... Raze thought to himself. The screen cut to outside the guest house. It was late at night, from the looks of it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Alright then!" An energetic teenage mare with a yellowish coat and light orange mane popped up on the screen, grinning in front of the camera. "Arctic, you recording?" "Yeah, I got it," said a stallion from off-screen. "Perfect! Hello there anyone who's watching this! I'm Honey Glow, and today we're gonna be exploring this spooooky looking building! Well, we're not going to..." She went off-screen and pulled another stallion out; this one had a grey coat and black mane. "Good 'ol Silver Colt here is gonna be doing it for us. He lost a bet between me and him in a game of cards! Isn't that right, Silver?" The stallion, looking somewhat annoyed, rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. Whatever." "Aw, come on now, big guy! Don't be so glum! You lost fair and square, and besides, I know how much you loooove haunted houses." Silver Colt sighed as he looked at the camera. "Do you have to record my reactions?" "Of course! That was another part of the bet after all. Besides it'll be funny, trust me. You'll laugh at it too once you watch it for yourself, you'll see." "Tch." he shook off Honey Glow's grip on him and began to walk inside. "Let's just get this over with, please?" "Okie-dokie! Alright everybody, follow me!" The scene then began to move towards the house. Honey Glow opened the door leading inside and they all walked in, with Silver Colt leading them. "S-so wait... what's the story about this place?" he asked. "Didn't the owners of the property, like... disappear in a storm three years ago?" "Why do you ask?" Honey Glow said. "You scared already?" She giggled a little. "N-no! I just wanted to know what I'm getting into, is all." "Hee-hee... well, to answer your question, yeah, that's what the townsfolk were saying when we came here. They were just... gone. Not a trace of them left behind." "Well... i-if their disappearance is so recent... then, there's no way they could be haunting the place, r-right? There's no way that a house could become haunted that quick, r-right?" "I don't know Silver, that's what you're gonna find out!" Honey Glow responded with another giggle as they entered the kitchen. Silver and Honey coughed a little at the dust all over the place. "Wow... it's really dusty..." Honey looked around, observing the different parts of the kitchen while the cameraman followed her. Silver, meanwhile, looked around for a little bit, heading to the hall leading to the living room. "Things got old in this in place really fast, huh?" Honey Glow said to herself as she looked around some more. She yelped as she appeared to have stepped on something in front of her. "EEK! Ew, a cockroach!" She shook her left leg quickly, trying to wipe off the cockroach she had stepped on. "Oh well... at least I wore my old shoes today..." She then saw a painting of an old, creepy looking house across from her. "Ooooh... this looks pretty creepy!" She walked up and stood in front of it while Arctic filmed her. "Looks like an old farm house or something. Hey Silver, come take a look at this!" She waited for a response from him. Nothing. "Silver?" No response again. "Hey, Silver!" Silence. "Arctic, where did Silver go?" "I don't know, I was following you," he said to her. "Silver! Siiiilveeerrr!!" Honey Glow went out of the kitchen and towards the living room hall. "Where did he go...? Silver?!" She kept calling out for him, looking around the hallway. Suddenly, there a loud crashing noise coming from the living room. "What was that? Did you hear that?" she said to Arctic. "Sounded like a banging noise," he responded. The look on Honey Glow's face began to become more worrisome by the second. "Silver?!" She opened the door to the living room. "I-if this is some kind of joke, then it's not funny!" She peered around, trying to find the source of the noise. "Doesn't look like there's anything here," Arctic said from behind the camera. Honey Glow still kept looking, then noticed something: a small fireplace to the left of the TV. She slowly approached it, something catching her eye. She crouched down to get a better look. "What is this?" She reached out and grabbed a small handle in the fireplace, and gave it a tug. Suddenly, a small compartment opened up from the wall next to her, reavealing a hidden area inside. "No way..." she looked at the camera, then back at the newly discovered area. "O-o-ok. Never mind the bet, I'm starting to get scared. L-let's just find Silver and get out of this house..." She began to crawl inside, with Arctic following suit. Inside was a somewhat tight, smal corridor with a ladder leading down a dark hole. Honey Glow stopped in front of the ladder, giving Arctic time to catch up to her. "What's the matter?" he asked her. She looked at him. "Do... do you think you could go down first, please?" "What? Why me?" "Because! Because... y-you have the camera, which has a light on it! You can see better down there than I can, and it's not that big either! S-so just do it!" "You're just scared aren't you? Fine..." The camera began to shake all over the place as the person holding it was climbling down the ladder. Once he arrived, it revealed a black, dreary looking area, with walls made out of cobblestone. "Well? What's down there?!" Honey Glow asked from up top. "I don't know, I don't see anything..." He then turned around, camera in hand, and was a bit startled when he saw a figure with it's back turned towards his. A sigh of relief could be heard as it turned out to be Silver Colt. "There he is..." He began to approach him, putting a hand on his shoulder to turn him around. "Dude, where've you been? You've been making--" He stopped talking after what came next. The camera showed Silver Colt, bleeding from the eyes and the face, his mouth impaled on a sharp, rusty pipe sticking out from the walls. When Arctic turned him around, it managed to unhook him from the pipe's sharp edge, with a wet, squishy sound. "Gah... AAAAAAHHH!!!!" Arctic screamed as he fell on the floor, dropping the camera. Silver's body fell on him, and his upside down face landed right in front of the camera, blood dripping from his red blood-covered eyes. In the background, Arctic could be heard gasping for breath, when suddenly, the camera caught someone walking over towards Arctic. From the angle of the camera, only their legs were seen, not their upper half. At this point, the footage began to get staticky, but the audio was still somewhat coherent. "Fuck! No! NOOO!!" was what Arctic was screaming before a loud grunt could be heard by what sounded like the unknown figure and a loud thud, then... silence. The video then cut back to the colors bars, before turning back into loud static. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the tape ejected out of the player, Raze stood there, in shock of what he just saw. "What... what in the actual..." was all he could say. ((OOC: Last post for tonight. Will continue this tomorrow )) -

@driz "Well, if they were smart, they should've prepared for it, like board up the windows and doors and whatnot," Raze said to her. "Besides, if this family can afford this much property, I'm pretty sure they could afford a sturdy house..." He looked at the table, noticing a closed pot sitting inside. He slowly took off the lid and cockroaches suddenly came crawling out of what looked like rancid stew. He dropped the lid in shock. A few seconds later, he felt something crawling on his hand. He quickly turned it over and saw a cockroach on his wrist. "Agh! Fuck, fuck!!" he quickly swept it off and backed away from the pot. "Celestia damn it all... fucking bugs..." he looked around the table more, and noticed something else: an old VHS tape. After carefully observing it for more cockroaches, he picked it up and looked at the label. "May 15, 2017... this was only a couple weeks ago... also, who the hell has VHS in day and age?" He eyed the tape suspiciously. "Something feels... off about this being here. Wish there was a way to watch it..." He walked a couple more steps towards an entry way leading deeper in. To his right he saw a flight of stairs leading up, to the left of the stairs was a straight hallway. Suddenly, he began to hear something in the distance... almost like... static? "You hear that?" he said quietly to Lory. -

@driz As Raze followed her inside the house, he made sure to get a nice view of the house beforehand, then quickly went into the doorway. He coughed a little bit from inhaling the dusty air. "Damn," he said. "Dusty as hell in here... not like I expected it to be the epitome of cleanliness, but still... hey, turn on the flashlight, yeah? It's a bit dark..." In front of them was another door, which Raze slowly opened, revealing a short corridor. He slowly walked through it, recording the old paintings on the walls. The corridor led right, into what appeared to be a kitchen, which he also made sure to get footage of. -

@driz Raze nodded in agreement. "Sure, why not? Sounds like a good idea to me," he said, getting his camera ready to record. He checked to make sure the lens wasn't dirty, then raised his camera up, and turned it towards Lory, hitting the record button. "Alright, whenever you're ready," he said to her. -

@driz "Wha--? No, No! I don't want that thing coming down on us," Raze said, sighing. He saw that there was some space underneath it for them to crouch through, where the dirt path continued. "Look, we got a job to do, let's just get it done, and get out of here." He quickly crouched under the monument, ignoring the buzzing flies, and quickly followed the path once more. A few seconds later he saw the path end with a small drop to lower ground. Dropping down, he noticed a small building ahead of him. "Ok, this looks like it might lead to the main house," he said. -

Jack Baker replied to Jack Baker's topic in Everfree Roleplays
@driz Raze raised a brow as she walked through, then shrugged. Still, that sign looked like it could make for some good footage, so he raised his camera and took a shot of the gate with the sign. Afterwards he walked through the gate quickly following behind Lory. The path led around a small marshy lake and appeared to go around the main house, possibly a back entrance of some sort. He looked up. "Looks like the sun's about to go down..." he said. "Great... at least we'll have a bit more ambiance for the show..." He began to walk ahead of Lory, and after a minute he stopped, noticing something to his right. He couldn't tell exactly what it was; crows were surrounding it. The most he could make of it was a bony limb, and bits of what appeared to be rotten flesh. It looked almost like... a cow's leg? As he slowly made his way over to get a closer look, the crows noticed his presence and quickly flew away from the thing they were surrounding. Raze quickly stepped back, slightly startled. "Geez... frickin birds..." he said to himself, turning around and stopping once again in shock of what he saw. He didn't know how to describe it. Demonic was the first word that came to mind, then grotesque. It was a demonic, grotesque... thing. He noted the rotting cow legs and head, along with the saw blades hanging from the ends of the rope that tied the whole piece together. Swarms of flies were buzzing loudly around it. After looking at it for a while, he then began to notice the strong, rotting smell it gave off. He pinched his nose in disgust. "Ugh... that's fucking disgusting..." he said, gagging. "Just who the hell came up with this shit anyway?" -

@driz Raze carefully looked around, observing his surroundings. "Yeah, it could be... hopefully, we'll be able to find another way insi..." His words trailed off as he saw another smaller gate that was open, but that wasn't what got his attention. It was the small wooden sign next to it. ACCEPT HER GIFT The words were written in giant, messy red letters, almost like something straight out of a horror film. Raze's eyes squinted suspiciously. It could be a prank, maybe some teenagers planted it here to scare people. If it was, then it sure looked very convincing. "Hey, what do you think of this?" he called out to Lory. -

Jack Baker replied to Jack Baker's topic in Everfree Roleplays
@driz Raze stepped forward, setting the camera down gently on the dirt, then rocked the gate back and forth. It wouldn't even budge an inch. Looking further down, he saw the gates held together by thick chains and a lock. "Well there's the problem... it's chained shut," he said to Lory. He stepped back, picking up the camera and looking around. He saw that the dirt path continued left of where he was standing. "Looks like the path continues somewhere else," he said. "But first..." He took a few more steps back, raised the camera, and hit the record button, trying to get a good shot of the main house. After a few seconds, he hit stop and reviewed the footage. "Alright, good," he said to himself. "This way," he motioned to Lory with his head to follow the path, and he began to walk. -

@driz Raze sighed, but smiled. He slowly followed the path, waving a few flies off while he walked. "Figured I should go over the stuff we have on the place while we're at it," he said to Lory, reaching for a small notepad in his pants pocket. "Place has been abandoned for three years; the family that used to live there were known as the Goldhoofs. Pretty quiet, but a upstanding family, from what I've been able to gather. They ended up disappearing after a violent storm hit Appleloosa and were presumed dead. However, people who've been to the property since have reported sightings of figures around the perimeter of said property. Oh, by the way, there's more than just this house apparently; there's also an old house they used to live in, an entire barn, a guest house, and a boathouse. We might be here a while..." He flipped through the notepad, stopping to a particular page. "Also... I'm not sure if this is related to anything, but... ever since the Goldhoofs' disappearance, there've been... increasing reports of missing people being made to the police station here and the sheriff's office back in Appleloosa. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or whatever, but... you know, something to be aware of, I guess..." He looked up as the path led them to the gates of the property. "Huh... this must be the main house," he said. "The barbed wire seems a bit much, but hey, if it keeps trespassers out..." -

@driz Raze opened the trunk of the car, and took out a large handheld video camera, the professional kind. Along with that, he grabbed a backpack, unzipped the front compartment, and pulled out a SoPro camera with a head strap, and put it on his head, putting the backpack across his shoulders. "I was thinking we get a look inside first, then do the intro," he said to her. "I feel like it'd add to the... 'spooky' factor, or whatever. C'mon." He began to walk along the path, signaling for her to follow.
