Thread: A Haunting We Will Go Moon/Dale

Sage and Tina both sighed as they realized that Alice had frightened herself again. they knew that she was just frightened off of any kind of physical intimacy, even hugs, because of her past. they could only stay back and let her make the first steps. That's just great! Sage complained. i can't stand the heat! she whined. we're sure no one else comes around here right? might just hang out in my bathing suit. the youngest admitted, already digging through her clothing bags. just make sure to put on sunscreen. i don't understand how you can't stand the heat! you come from the south! so? we're IN the south! oh yeah. the girls giggled and Alice felt herself calm down. they weren't mad. it was okay. they didn't think her disgusting. it was okay. well, lets go get Alice. Tina decided, coming out of the tent in a tube top and a pair of shorts, while Dage came out in an adorable little Bikini. Alice just rolled her eyes and slid into the tent to get dressed herself, a nice white dress, sleeveless and cool but hid everything it needed to hide. well, shall we go explore? Sage asked, grinning as she skipped the way, Alice chuckling as she followed and Tina grinning. glad that Alice hadn't frightened herself too badly. they started on the other side f the huge house, walking around the perimeter and looking at everything they could see. Tina stopped to pick up a book that was old and rotting. hey, this book is only ten years old. so the last person to live here was at least ten years ago? must have had kids. see? this is one of those kids books. Sage pointed out, examining what little could be made of the title. well, we might consider looking into the library Records later, and see who owned the house last and talk to them, if they're close enough. Tina admitted. i'll look into that later. oh! look at the cute little trike! there where various toys littered around, and a full on picnic laid out, though only the dishes where left, shattered, broken and scattered. though there where tins of food laying about that where mostly undamaged. it's like they just up and left. i don't doubt it. some of the things inside indicate the same. there where clothes in the washer and dryer and some of the dressers in there where still full. Alice admitted. they must have had to leave very suddenly. Mrs. Pennington must have chased them all out very suddenly. it matches the legends. some people have stayed for years, while others weren't even allowed in the house. i think only the people who don't try to hurt or alter the house are allowed to stay for any length of time. but the plumbing? they didn't have plumbing back in Mrs. Pennington's day. Sage scoffed. it's probably just natural phenomenon that make paranoid and skittish idiots think they're being haunted. Sage scoffed, ignoring Alice's annoyed look. perhaps. we have run into those. a few scams as well. but old Major McKnathy was certainly real. Tina pointed out, Alice nodding. so you say, i certainly never saw him. the girl huffed before brightening. he's still my best seller though. i really wish you wouldn't talk so badly about the dead Sage. it's just rude. Alice complained, tossing her nose in the air and storming off in a rare show of temper, startling both her friends. one of these days your going to annoy the wrong ghost, and they'll teach you a lesson in manners you'll never forget. Alice huffed, Tina looking at Sage. i told you to stop picking on her. Tina stated with amusement. now she's going to be in a mood all day. Tina complained, Sage shrugging. hey! look t this! Alice called, watching the water flow through a crystal clear sparkling fountain. how is it so clean? Sage asked, amazed that everything around them could be so old and filthy, and yet this fountain didn't even have leaves in it. it's cold! and huge! we might have to go swimming later when the heat really gets going. Tina agreed, grinning as she ran her fingers through the water. it is weird that it's so clean though. the tub upstairs is the same way. Alice admitted, deciding not to mention that she was the one who had cleaned that. should we head inside and see what we can find in there and then come out and go swimming? Tina suggested. i agree! Sage chirped, Alice smiling as she nodded. she could go for a cool dip.
