Cabin in the Woods

Lucas: Shit, we didn't pick up gram crackers and marshmellows.

Leena: We're not making s'mores.

Lucas: What? Why?

Leena: Clichés are too cliché, alright? I don't want to live out my last night running through the woods from an axe murderer.

Lucas: You act like we're doomed because we're going to spend a weekend at a cabin.

Leena: Yeah, because we've had nothing but normal occurrences the passed two and a half months.
[2/6/2015 2:55:31 PM] Arbi: Samson: What's happened in the past two months, love? He looks confused since Leena never said anything about it before.
[2/6/2015 2:59:01 PM] Omniance: Leena: She shakes her head. A lot of predictable non-sense, which I don't want to continue out in the middle of the woods, since the predictable non-sense would be me breaking my ankle in the middle of the woods after everyone else has been cut into pieces.

Lucas: He follows Mandy's car as she takes the off ramp and the drive up into the woods. Mandy Lane is the final girl.

Leena: What? Why?

Lucas: You know why. The goth chick always dies.

Leena: Yeah well we'll see about that.
[2/6/2015 3:04:53 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I think we can take care of ourselves. He looks up at the vanity mirror infront of him, seeing Samson back there. And we're all old enough to know those movies aren't real. Monsters aren't real.
[2/6/2015 3:05:45 PM] Omniance: Leena: Axe murderers are though.

Lucas: We can take an axe murderer. Right Sam?
[2/6/2015 3:07:53 PM] Arbi: Samson: He smiles nervously. You're starting to worry me, mates. You aren't in any trouble are you?
[2/6/2015 3:08:12 PM] Omniance: Leena: Just run of the mill drug cartel stuff.
[2/6/2015 3:13:52 PM | Edited 3:14:53 PM] Arbi: Samson: Me childhood friend was shot when he around your age. The man thought twenty dollars was worth more than me friend's life. He pauses. Money and drugs change people. He pauses again. I don't take the subject lightly. He looks away from them all after a moment.
[2/6/2015 3:14:28 PM] Omniance: Leena: Oh... Sorry. She looks out the window.
[2/6/2015 3:16:42 PM | Edited 3:19:14 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks down, thinking about the new dealer he has, who is more of a stranger than a friend even though the guy tries to act friendly. He looks out the window too, thinking if his dealer would ever get mad because he owed him money.
[2/6/2015 3:20:25 PM] Omniance: About a half hour later they're pulling up in front of Mandy Lane's family cabin. Located a good mile away from the main road, it looks like a medium-sized home, being two stories and as Mandy said, is actually a cabin-like house, but is a bit more modern than a standard horror-movie log cabin. The surrounding forest is well-lit, with everything being welcoming and comfortable.
[2/6/2015 3:21:44 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She gets out of her car, looking back at them as they pull up behind her and Isaac. As Lucas gets out of the car she yells to him. This is it guys! She looks happy.
[2/6/2015 3:23:22 PM | Edited 3:23:37 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Don't know what you were afraid of, Leena. This place doesn't exactly say "axe murderer."
[2/6/2015 3:25:54 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Axe murderer? What?

Leena: We're at a cabin in the woods. She pulls out one of the smaller bags of groceries.

Mandy Lane: Do you watch a lot of horror movies or something?

Leena: Not really.

Mandy Lane: Then why would you even assume that?
[2/6/2015 3:26:51 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Who cares what Leena thinks. He walks to the back and pulls out a ton of groceries. Trying to impress Mandy Lane. Let's get the food in the house.
[2/6/2015 3:28:46 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He grabs the two bags of groceries left since Lucas took them all. What are we making first? He follows behind Lucas with everyone else walking towards the house.
[2/6/2015 3:30:15 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Would any of you guys happen to know how to barbeque? I bought those hamburgers, but they always taste better from the grill, and there's one out back.
[2/6/2015 3:33:15 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks at the others, he obviously doesn't know how, and doesn't think Yuri does either. I don't, I mean, I could try it, but our mom is an infamously mediocre cook so I don't think I've got the genetics for it.
[2/6/2015 3:40:02 PM | Edited 3:41:42 PM] Arbi: Samson: No worry, mates. I'll take care of the burgers. He walks up and stops at the frontdoor with everyone else. I've told Isaac and Leena about my family BBQs. Everyone's in for a treat, I bought the ingrediants to make me family's special sauce. Mustard and ketchup can't compare.
[2/6/2015 3:47:33 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Good thing you wanted to tag along then. As she looks away from them Lucas drops the act and fiddles with the bags for a moment so he can be sure that he doesn't drop them, since they're too heavy. Mandy pulls out her keys and opens the front door. I'll show you guys to the kitchen first. She leads them inside. The interior of the house is dated, looking like a clash of 60's and 80's era style, very colorful reds and whites with strange furniture. It's also a bit dusty, making it apparent that no one has been here for a few years at least, but otherwise it's clean and tidy. The kitchen is right through here. She leads them through the den, which has an oversized TV and a lot of sitting space, two couches and three large chairs. As she leads them into the kitchen it appears more modernized than the rest of the house, but still looks dated in style. The kitchen is large, with a big island counter at the center and two baking ovens, along with a full-range stove and a sink. It's almost like a mini-restaurant kitchen. She walks to the large fridge in the corner and looks it over, after a moment she reaches behind it. There's a switch back here... Somewhere. There's a light snap and the fridge starts humming a bit as it turns on. There we go. She turns and looks back at them, pulling her hair out of her face.
[2/6/2015 3:52:22 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He quickly walks over to the counter and puts the bags of food on top of it. This place is pretty big for a cabin.

Leena: Doesn't really look like a cabin on the inside either. She's looking around at everything, feeling out of place.
[2/6/2015 3:55:31 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He sits up on the counter and after a moment looks down at his palm that was resting on the counter, it's completely covered in dust. He hops off and pats himself off. When's the last time someone cleaned this place?...
[2/6/2015 3:57:11 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Sorry... Haven't really been here in a long time.

Lucas: How long?

Mandy Lane: Eleven... Twelve years?

Leena: What?

Mandy Lane: We send someone up every so often to look after the place but... We just haven't been here since I was a kid.
[2/6/2015 4:01:59 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He wanders away from the kitchen. This cabin has the potential for the best party ever thrown. No parents, lots of junk food...no neighbors to complain about loud music. He tries to turn the TV on. It just shows static.
[2/6/2015 4:04:09 PM | Edited 4:05:52 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Yeah, I guess... She doesn't really want an insane party. The TV doesn't have cable, but there's a ton of movies in the cabinet next to it... Though they're probably really old now that I think about it.

Leena: Eleven year old movies... What's in there Yuri? She walks out of the kitchen, looking into the den.
[2/6/2015 4:08:47 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks up to the cabinet, grabbing the handle and trying to open it. It doesn't budge.

Samson: He finds the backdoor. You work on that cabinet, mate. I'll get the barbeque fired up. He walks out, closing the door behind him.
[2/6/2015 4:08:58 PM | Edited 4:11:08 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He growls, trying with all his strength to pull on the handle. It's stuck.
[2/6/2015 4:13:54 PM] Omniance: Lucas: You just have to put some elbow grease into it, let me try. He walks up to the cabinet and starts pulling on the handle.

Mandy Lane: She walks into the den and looks over at Leena and then back to the twins, confused as to why they can't open it. Maybe there's a latch on it or something?

Leena: She says with a deadpan tone. You know you two are real world-class heavy weight champions, struggling with a VHS cabinet from 1960.
[2/6/2015 4:18:40 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He pulls with Lucas. It feels like the cabinet door was super glued or nailed shut. Fuck. Why. Won't. You. Open?! He places his foot on the cabinet and pulls.
[2/6/2015 4:19:25 PM] Omniance: Leena: She looks at Isaac. Maybe it takes three manly men to open it?
[2/6/2015 4:22:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: We can...handle it. He looks at Lucas. Pull harder.
[2/6/2015 4:23:02 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He mumurs. You're the one with the super strength. Maybe I'll just burn the damn thing down.
[2/6/2015 4:24:22 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He stands beside Mandy and Leena, watching them. This must be how it looks like in DnD when someone doesn't have enough strength to open an iron door...
[2/6/2015 4:24:43 PM] Omniance: Leena: Or intellect...
[2/6/2015 4:25:02 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She smiles and puts her hand to her mouth.
[2/6/2015 4:25:45 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He whispers angrily. Fuck it. I'm using my power.
[2/6/2015 4:26:21 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He whispers back. You're gonna turn into a demon and kill everyone. Probably with an axe. Then Leena will have been right all along. Don't do it.
[2/6/2015 4:27:17 PM] Arbi: Meanwhile outside.
[2/6/2015 4:32:49 PM] Arbi: Samson: Ah, there it is. He finds the barbeque stand in the backyard. It's massive, most of it made out of brick. Haven't seen one of these before... He walks up to it and grabs the handle, opening it up. He looks down, his eyes widening in disgust as the smell of rotting meat quickly fills the air around. Bloody...hell. He backs away and falls down to his hand and knees, vomitting on the ground.
[2/6/2015 4:32:59 PM] Arbi: Meanwhile back inside.
[2/6/2015 4:34:23 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He adjusts his glasses and looks around confused. Is that Samson? The faint sound of someone vomitting can be heard.
[2/6/2015 4:35:14 PM] Omniance: Leena: She turns and moves quickly to the back door, looking outside. Samson, you alright? She sees him throwing up. What the hell? Mandy runs up behind her, looking out.
[2/6/2015 4:38:14 PM] Arbi: Samson: He shakes his head, wiping his mouth. He tries to warn Leena and Mandy not to look inside the barbeque but he starts vomitting again.
[2/6/2015 4:39:46 PM] Omniance: Leena: Are you ok Samson? She runs out to see what's happened,
[2/6/2015 4:41:13 PM] Arbi: Samson: He wipes his mouth again. Bloody...hell. Love, don't look in the barbeque. He starts throwing up again.
[2/6/2015 4:41:29 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: What's wrong with the barbeque?
[2/6/2015 4:42:16 PM | Edited 4:42:39 PM] Arbi: They all look towards the barbeque. There's something sticking out of it a little but it's hard to make out what it is from where they're standing.
[2/6/2015 4:43:39 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She pushes passed Leena a bit and looks at the barbeque.
[2/6/2015 4:45:46 PM] Arbi: It doesn't take long for Mandy to realize what made Samson vomit. The smell of dead flesh reaches her and the sight of a chopped up human leg can be seen inside the barbeque.
[2/6/2015 4:46:45 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She turns pale and puts her mouth to her nose. What in the holy hell? It's a leg! A man's severed leg! She keeps staring at it, almost like she's frozen.
[2/6/2015 4:46:53 PM] Omniance: Leena: What?!
[2/6/2015 4:47:40 PM] Arbi: Isaac: The stench reaches him, he covers his nose and backs away. Oh...god.
[2/6/2015 4:50:57 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: I don't understand, how'd this... Who did this? She finally looks away.

Leena: I'm calling the cops. She turns to go inside.

Mandy Lane: The phone doesn't work. We'll have to drive back into town.

Leena: The phone doesn't work?! What do you mean the phone doesn't work?

Mandy Lane: It's been disconnected for years because my step-mother didn't want to pay the bill. It's also why we don't have any cable. She didn't want us coming back here.
[2/6/2015 4:55:22 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He steps outside and sees them all over by the barbeque near the other end of the house. He quickly walks up to them. You sure that cabinet door is real? I'm starting to think it's a fake door.
[2/6/2015 4:57:06 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: It doesn't matter... We have to leave now. Her eyes are watering slightly, and her skin looks sickly pale. I'll drive you back into town Leena... We'll... Get the cops out here.
[2/6/2015 4:57:33 PM] Arbi: Yuri: What? Why are we leaving?
[2/6/2015 4:59:58 PM] Omniance: Lucas: There's a loud crash inside of the cabin. Umm... He can be heard scrambling to try and fix the handle on the cabinet. After a moment he's standing next to Yuri.

Mandy Lane: There's a man's severed leg in the damn barbeque. She's starting to sound more angry than disgusted.
[2/6/2015 5:01:49 PM] Omniance: Lucas: There's a what? He looks at Yuri. He winces as he smells it finally. Oh god, is that the smell? Bleh... He acts like he can taste it in his mouth.
[2/6/2015 5:02:53 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks up to the barbeque with his shirt over his nose. Wow.
[2/6/2015 5:04:35 PM] Omniance: Leena: How old it is... It smells like rotting shit.
[2/6/2015 5:05:53 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Looks like someone was gonna eat it. This is how mom slices up pork sometimes. Wow, that's disgusting. He smiles and shakes his head.
[2/6/2015 5:06:58 PM] Omniance: Leena: That's so fucking gross. I'm never eating at your house again.

Lucas: He has his shirt pulled up over his nose as he walks up next to his brother to look at the leg.
[2/6/2015 5:07:38 PM] Arbi: Samson: Mates, how can you even handle that smell? He's standing behind everyone with his arm over the bottomhalf of his face. It's disgusting.
[2/6/2015 5:08:36 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Yeah, it is. He looks back at the leg. Mandy, you wouldn't happen to have a basement here would you?
[2/6/2015 5:10:17 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Yeah it's off around the side.

Leena: She sighs and mutters to herself. Of course there's a creepy basement... She speaks louder. Let's go get the cops, that way we can get to the part where we try to start our cars and the fuel lines have been cut.
[2/6/2015 5:10:40 PM] Arbi: The bushes near the corner of the house shake slightly.
[2/6/2015 5:13:23 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Her eyes dart to the bushes, turning a deep green. I think I saw something move. She says it in a way that makes her sound like she wants to walk over to the bush and strangle whatever made it move. There isn't a hint of fear in her tone.

Leena: She takes a few steps back towards the house. Maybe we should just go inside...

Lucas: Why are you so afraid Leena? We can handle whatever it is that's out here. He looks at her in confusion for a moment before stepping forwards towards the bush that shook. If someone's hiding in that bush, you better show yourself!
[2/6/2015 5:15:01 PM] Arbi: The bushes aren't that thick, after Lucas gets close enough he can see no one's behind them.
[2/6/2015 5:16:31 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He pulls out a cigarette and lights it. Maybe it was just a squirrel or something... He breaths out a strangely large amount of smoke for having just lit that smoke.
[2/6/2015 5:17:17 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: I'm not convinced. She walks around the side of the house, looking for a clue that someone was there.
[2/6/2015 5:17:53 PM] Arbi: That side of the house is mostly empty with just some bushes and trees. It leads towards the two cars parked infront.
[2/6/2015 5:20:23 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Lucas walks up behind her as her gaze follows the side of the house to the cars. Leena might be right.
[2/6/2015 5:21:34 PM] Arbi: The group follows Mandy and Lucas to the front of the cabin.
[2/6/2015 5:22:19 PM | Edited 5:26:13 PM] Arbi: Yuri: No...Fuck you, no! He runs up to the jeep. WHY?! He falls to his knees infront of the flat tires of his jeep.
[2/6/2015 5:24:47 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: We are in a cliché horror movie... She murmurs very quietly to herself. ...At least that's what whoever did this thinks. She looks at Isaac with her green eyes.

Leena: Lets go inside. It's starting to get dark.
[2/6/2015 5:25:50 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Man... Mom and dad are gonna be pissed. He gets to one knee, looking at the tires. These are gonna cost like five hundred dollars... At least.
[2/6/2015 5:26:52 PM | Edited 5:28:51 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He clenches his fist. I'm gonna kill him... He looks at Lucas and whispers. Get everyone inside and make sure they stay inside. Come out here when you know they'll stay put and we'll get this guy ourselves.
[2/6/2015 5:33:52 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He nods, as he turns to get everyone inside Mandy speaks.

Mandy Lane: Everyone go inside, I'm going to deal with whoever is out here.

Lucas: What? No, Mandy go inside, it's safe. Me and Yuri got it.

Mandy Lane: She looks at him. It's my cabin, I'm not gonna sit on my ass while someone terrorizes me and my guests! She looks at Isaac. We can deal with this. She looks back to Lucas. You two just keep everyone safe inside.

Lucas: Me and Yuri got this, trust us. We can handle it.

Mandy Lane: We can handle it better.

Lucas: I don't want you getting hurt Mandy.

Mandy Lane: She sighs in annoyance. And I don't want you getting hurt. Lucas.
[2/6/2015 5:36:26 PM] Omniance: Leena: Are you two really arguing over who gets to stay outside and fight an axe murderer?
[2/6/2015 5:39:21 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Mandy, I think we should stay inside.
[2/6/2015 5:40:46 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She leans towards him slightly and whispers. I wanted this to be a weekend where we make new friends. Now it's ruined! I want to crush whoever did this...
[2/6/2015 5:42:36 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He whispers back. I know we could if it were normal circumstances but...you just woke up from your coma two days ago. Your legs aren't used to moving fast right now...can we please stay inside?
[2/6/2015 5:43:53 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She hates feeling helpless, but at the same time Isaac's right. Alright... Alright... She looks at Lucas. Let's head in... What are you two going to do?
[2/6/2015 5:50:54 PM] Arbi: Samson: That's the question. He looks at the twins. Mates, no offense but you're still children.

Yuri: I can handle any-

Samson: Mate. Let me stop you right there. He looks back at everyone. It's my responsibility to make sure none of you get hurt. I want everyone to get inside right now.

Yuri: You don't even know-

Samson: No more arguing. Everyone inside. He points to the frontdoor.
[2/6/2015 5:52:01 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks at his brother and shakes his head slightly.
[2/6/2015 6:11:40 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He sighs and gives up, walking back inside the cabin.
[2/6/2015 6:13:15 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He follows after his brother and the others, Leena is already inside, looking out at them. Hey Sam. He looks back at him. Don't get hurt alright?
[2/6/2015 6:22:16 PM] Arbi: Samson: On the way here I saw emergency telephone, shouldn't be more than a three mile walk. I'll get ahold of the police and come back and quickly as I can. Mate, I need you to make sure all the doors are locked. He looks over at Leena. Keep an eye on the boys, love. Don't let them out of your sight.
[2/6/2015 6:23:16 PM] Omniance: Leena: She yells from the house. This is the worst idea. We should stick together!
[2/6/2015 6:25:49 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks down a little. I think I'd feel better knowing the police would get here soon rather than trying to go to sleep tonight knowing there's someone out there that wants to kill us.
[2/6/2015 6:26:10 PM] Omniance: Leena: Well why don't we all just walk down into town, together?
[2/6/2015 6:28:26 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Mandy won't be able to run if they start chasing us. He looks at Leena.
[2/6/2015 6:28:57 PM] Omniance: Leena: Alright... Alright... We'll stay behind...
[2/6/2015 6:29:54 PM] Arbi: Samson: Isaac, mate. How do you know there's more than one out there?
[2/6/2015 6:31:43 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks at Isaac. You did say "they"...
[2/6/2015 6:35:00 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He nods. There's an old boardgame I used to play called Fallout. It's about surviving the world after a nuclear apocalypse. One thing I've learned from the series is that cannibals like to stick together. It makes it easier for them get...more food.
[2/6/2015 6:47:10 PM] Arbi: Samson: He sighs and looks out towards the pathway that eventually leads to the freeway. He looks back at everyone after a moment. Wish me luck, mates. He grabs the frontdoor and closes it before leaving.
[2/6/2015 6:48:05 PM] Omniance: Leena: She's looking out of the window as he walks away down the road. After a moment she puts her hand to the glass. This is a terrible idea...
[2/6/2015 6:51:19 PM] Omniance: Lucas: There's not really much we could do... Maybe we should follow him, make sure he's alright.

Leena: What?

Lucas: You know, like, stay a dozen paces behind him, just out of sight. Me and Yuri.

Leena: So three guys just up and leave us girls behind? She pauses and looks at Isaac. And Isaac. She looks back to Lucas. If you leave here I will never forgive you. Ever.
[2/6/2015 6:52:02 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks over at Lucas from the couch to see what he says.
[2/6/2015 6:53:25 PM | Edited 6:56:17 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I mean, we can't just let him leave... By himself. He whispers, to Yuri. He's just some guy...
[2/6/2015 7:02:24 PM | Edited 7:04:46 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Three miles... He looks down. It's gonna take him at least an hour to reach that phone. He walks over to the kitchen. Might be a good idea to start preparing some food in the meantime.
[2/6/2015 7:03:42 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He takes a drag from his cigarette. Guess we're not barbecuing.

Leena: This isn't a joke Lucas!

Lucas: Just trying to lighten the mood...
[2/6/2015 7:08:27 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He lays back on the couch and looks up at the ceiling. We should probably lock the doors before anyone starts making any food. Wouldn't want the axe murderer sneaking in and catching us offguard.
[2/6/2015 7:09:32 PM] Omniance: Leena: What if he's already in the house? She looks around suddenly.

Lucas: What's wrong with you?

Mandy Lane: If he's inside the house I'm going to beat the shit out of him.

Lucas: Damn right. He smiles at Mandy, but she's looking at Isaac.
[2/6/2015 7:13:42 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He raises an eyebrow. What are you gonna do? Hit him with your purse?
[2/6/2015 7:14:25 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Well what the hell are you two gonna do. Both of you combined probably weight like 200lbs.
[2/6/2015 7:14:53 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I have a knife.
[2/6/2015 7:15:37 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Yeah? She turns and walks into the kitchen, she comes back with a knife in each hand. I have two knives. Now what?
[2/6/2015 7:16:03 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. Why are we fighting over who gets to beat this guy up so much?
[2/6/2015 7:18:04 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He locks the backdoor and walks back over. That should be all of them.

Yuri: You've seen Lucas defend himself. We'll take care of him if he shows up.
[2/6/2015 7:21:48 PM | Edited 7:22:06 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She sighs. Alright. You guys can handle it. She puts the knives down and sits on one of the couches. ...So who here knows how to cook anyway?
[2/6/2015 7:24:06 PM] Omniance: Leena: She shrugs slightly.

Lucas: I could... Try? He looks at his brother.
[2/6/2015 7:25:52 PM | Edited 7:26:36 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I think I'd rather risk walking to the nearest Dominos. He shakes his head. You don't know how to cook, Lucas.
[2/6/2015 7:26:30 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Like I said earlier, it's not really in our genetics...
[2/6/2015 7:29:34 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He's looking through the grocery bag. Almost everything in here needs to be cooked except for the snacks. He pulls out a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos but suddenly almost drops it. The sound of a window slamming shut upstairs makes everyone in the room jump a little.
[2/6/2015 7:30:41 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stands up with a look of anger.

Lucas: Mandy, we'll deal with it... He looks to his brother. We'll go up and check it out.
[2/6/2015 7:31:43 PM | Edited 7:31:55 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He gets off the couch and looks up. Has anyone even gone upstairs since we got here?
[2/6/2015 7:32:02 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Not that I know of.
[2/6/2015 7:32:39 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He takes out his pocket knife and heads for the staircase.
[2/6/2015 7:33:58 PM] Omniance: Lucas: You guys stay here. He follows his brother up stairs. Once they're far enough away. We can take some cannibalistic lunatic no problem...
[2/6/2015 7:36:51 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I'm gonna check how many there are. If anyone tries to run downstairs...kick their ass. He walks up the last few steps and goes invisible.
[2/6/2015 7:38:05 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He yells back to Mandy. This is the only way down to the first floor right?

Mandy Lane: She yells back. Yes. The only other way in would have to be through one of the doors.
[2/6/2015 7:42:15 PM | Edited 7:42:55 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He grabs the bags of chips and two sodas and walks back to the living room, sitting down beside Mandy. He checks on Leena, seeing her walking around nervously. He whispers to Mandy when she's far enough away. If anything gets out of hand we'll use Astreiya's power.
[2/6/2015 7:43:24 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She whispers back, Damn right we will. The twins better not get killed... And we should've stopped your other friend from leaving... If they just knew what we were capable of...
[2/6/2015 7:44:02 PM] Arbi: Isaac: If they knew what we were capable of doing...they'd be more scared of us than those cannibals.
[2/6/2015 7:44:43 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She nods slowly. You're probably right...
[2/6/2015 8:00:53 PM] Arbi: It's been about five minutes with no sign of Yuri.
[2/6/2015 8:01:21 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He walks all the way up stairs. You find anything? ...Yuri?
[2/6/2015 8:33:41 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He whispers. Lucas. He appears beside him.
[2/6/2015 8:34:59 PM] Omniance: Lucas: What? He half expects it, but it still startled, though he doesn't show it.
[2/6/2015 8:37:58 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Unless these cannibals can turn inivisble there's no one upstairs. One of them probably used a window to climb out and it closed behind.
[2/6/2015 8:38:38 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Damn. I wanted to beat the crap out of someone to show off to Mandy...
[2/6/2015 8:39:08 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Inside the house? What are you trying to do start a fire?
[2/6/2015 8:39:51 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I think the last thing the she wants to see is a house on fire again.
[2/6/2015 8:42:29 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I have way better control of it now. Surgical accuracy with my fire breath...
[2/6/2015 8:46:01 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I don't know, man. I still think fire would freak her out. You see that burn mark on her neck?
[2/6/2015 8:47:30 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. ...Either way, if someone threatens me or my friends I'm going to incinerate them. I'll just have to carry Mandy out of the burning building myself.
[2/6/2015 8:54:02 PM | Edited 8:54:33 PM] Arbi: Yuri: You do know that australian guy is calling the police, right? You gotta be smart about your powers, little bro. I keep telling you, eventually they're gonna start putting it together that whenever one of these 4000 degree kelvin fires show up you're always involved somehow.
[2/6/2015 8:55:27 PM | Edited 9:20:39 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I guess I need a more controllable ability... He thinks in silence for a brief moment. We need more power...
[2/6/2015 9:22:33 PM] Arbi: Yuri: You need a weaker power that can still hurt someone. He pats his back and heads back downstairs.
[2/6/2015 9:23:07 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: As Yuri reaches the bottom of the steps she's watching. Did you find anyone?
[2/6/2015 9:23:36 PM] Arbi: Yuri: We think that sound we heard before was them climbing out the window. There's no one up there now.
[2/6/2015 9:24:04 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She sighs. Well that's good. She doesn't seem too happy about it, despite what she says.
[2/6/2015 9:25:37 PM] Omniance: Leena: So they're somewhere outside the house then... She keeps looking around. Should we barricade the windows?

Mandy Lane: We don't have much to barricade them with. One cabinet... A TV that probably weighs 800lbs... We wouldn't even get half of them covered.

Leena: Mattresses? Bed frames? Something. Mandy Lane sighs.
[2/6/2015 9:33:49 PM | Edited 9:34:56 PM] Arbi: Isaac: If there's a hammer and a few nails down in the basement we could keep all the windows nailed shut. He shrugs a little. They would have to break a window open to get in.
[2/6/2015 9:35:47 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: We have to go outside to get into the basement. The only entrance is on the side of the cabin, and it might be locked. She shrugs.

Leena: Don't you have a key?

Mandy Lane: To the front door, but not to anything else.

Leena: I just want to be home now. Should've never come here...
[2/6/2015 9:37:16 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I think this is kind of fun. Better than being bored at home. He smiles and sits down, grabbing the bag of chips.
[2/6/2015 9:38:23 PM] Arbi: Isaac: It's not fun, Yuri. Our lives could be in danger. Someone could get hurt.
[2/6/2015 9:41:41 PM] Omniance: Leena: Samson could be running for his life down the road somewhere from a pack of mutant hillbillies.

Lucas: This isn't "The Hills Have Eyes" Leena... We don't even know of there's actually a cannibal running around. It could've just been some squatter.

Mandy Lane: There's a rotting leg in the grill outside.

Lucas: Oh yeah... Well. That doesn't mean he-they-whatever, are still around.
[2/6/2015 9:51:02 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I'll go into the basement. Leo isn't here which means I'm the fastest runner. Lucas is about a second slower.
[2/6/2015 9:53:12 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She looks at Yuri then Lucas, ...What?

Lucas: It's the smoking. I have a lung capacity problem.

Leena: What are you sixty years old?

Lucas: My lungs are.

Leena: She rolls her eyes.

Mandy Lane: ...So you're going into the basement, alone?
[2/6/2015 9:55:45 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Yeah, you got a problem with that? He raises an eyebrow at her.
[2/6/2015 9:56:14 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Didn't we agree to stick together? Now you're going off on your own again.
[2/6/2015 10:00:26 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Let me lay it out for you, Mandy. All of us go down into the basement. Who's inside the house watching the door? One of them could sneak inside while we're down there and lock us out. Then we're really fucked.
[2/6/2015 10:01:41 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: I have a key. I just said that. She looks at Isaac. Didn't I just say that? She looks at Yuri. But if you want to head into the basement alone... Be my guest I guess...
[2/6/2015 10:02:37 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Who says you're the only one with a key?
[2/6/2015 10:03:08 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Either way I can open the door if they lock it, so does it really matter? She shrugs.
[2/6/2015 10:04:06 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Just let us do what we do, alright? We're fine. Yuri will be fine. We can deal with this. All this discussion is making me dizzy...
[2/6/2015 10:05:55 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Listen to this guy. He stands up and walks behind Lucas, pointing at him. He's going places. He pats him as he passes him and opens the frontdoor, takes a quick look around and closes it behind him.
[2/6/2015 10:06:53 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She shakes her head and whispers to Isaac. I just want to crush whoever is out there with my bare hands.
[2/6/2015 10:17:24 PM] Arbi: A long twenty minutes pass. No sign of Yuri again.
[2/6/2015 10:20:35 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's standing next to the window, looking outside. C'mon Yuri, how long does it take to check the basement... Leena is standing next to him.

Leena: She whispers to Lucas. How long can Yuri stay invisible?

Lucas: Longer than this. I'm just getting worried...
[2/6/2015 10:22:46 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He's in the kitchen with Mandy, they're just finishing putting some meats in the fridge so they don't spoil. They look like they're starting to get worried.
[2/6/2015 10:24:09 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She's speaking in a low voice so that Leena and Lucas can't hear. I really want to help... But I don't want to... Freak everyone out either. I mean... I could just rip the damn basement door open and go down there and... Well. You know...
[2/6/2015 10:26:10 PM] Arbi: Isaac: We might all have to go down there. He puts the box of sodas in the fridge and closes it.
[2/6/2015 10:26:44 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: You don't think this could have something to do with that... Demon from Ricky, do you?
[2/6/2015 10:28:11 PM | Edited 10:30:41 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks at Mandy, surprised. Ricky? His demon's been dead for over a month, we killed him, remember? He looks over at Leena and Lucas to make sure they're not walking over. I've seen Ricky at school...he acts different, a lot nicer than before. I'm not sure if it's because he's not possessed anymore though...or because of his missing arm.
[2/6/2015 10:29:14 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Well there was another one in that nightmare I had. I didn't think it was real at first, but over the last few days, I think that he was trying to kill me in that coma. Something is still out there Isaac, I can feel it sometimes. She reaches back and rubs the scar on her neck.
[2/6/2015 10:33:35 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Was he in any other dreams you've had since then?
[2/6/2015 10:35:53 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She thinks for a moment. I'm not sure... I don't think so.
[2/6/2015 10:39:59 PM | Edited 10:40:32 PM] Arbi: Isaac: I don't think you should worry about it until Leena starts shooting violet fire out of her hands in real life. He looks over at her by the window again.
[2/6/2015 10:40:55 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She sighs. ...You know earlier I was wondering if that might be true? Yuri and Lucas seem awfully confident... All the time.
[2/6/2015 10:43:13 PM | Edited 10:45:03 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Yeah but...Leena's been wanting to leave this whole time. He takes his glasses and rubs one of his eyes. I think she'd be a little more confident if she really did have those powers.
[2/6/2015 10:44:30 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: ...Might just be an act... But I guess they do look pretty worried... She rolls her eyes. What the hell am I thinking? Of course the don't have any powers... She shakes her head. That dream is just... Screwing with my vision of reality.
[2/6/2015 10:45:49 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Do you think we should check on Yuri with them?
[2/6/2015 10:46:33 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Yeah... If something did happen to him. She shakes her head. I just feel like I should be doing something instead of sitting around and faking weakness... You know?
[2/6/2015 10:50:34 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He nods and sighs. That's how I've felt the past two months.
[2/6/2015 10:51:37 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He lightly bounces his head off of the window a few times. Alright. I'm going out after him.
[2/6/2015 10:54:45 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He walks over to them with Mandy. We're coming with you.
[2/6/2015 10:55:05 PM] Omniance: Leena: I guess we should all go. To stick together. This damn time.
[2/6/2015 10:55:21 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Agreed.
[2/6/2015 10:57:03 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks around at everyone, not sure who's leading them exactly.
[2/6/2015 10:59:57 PM] Omniance: Lucas & Mandy Lane: Let's go. They say it at the same time. They look at each other. Lucas almost seems to blush slightly. Mandy just stares at him.

Mandy Lane: She opens the doors and walks out while Lucas is semi-stunned by slight embarrassment. As Mandy steps out onto the back porch she looks back and forth, looking for signs of Yuri.

Leena: Should we yell out his name? She waits for Isaac and Lucas to walk out before making sure the back door is closed. If anyone goes inside it should make a noise loud enough for them to hear.

Mandy Lane: They already know where we are if they've been watching, I doubt attracting any more attention to us will do much...

Leena: She looks around, feeling like she's being watched.
[2/6/2015 11:16:02 PM] Arbi: The group moves together towards the cellar door on the left side of the house. It's dark out now and they aren't able to see behind bushes or shadows as easily as when they first arrived. They only hear the sound of their footsteps, the sound pollution at an all time low because of how far away they are from civiliation.
[2/6/2015 11:17:52 PM | Edited 11:18:08 PM] Omniance: Lucas: No one thought of bringing a flashlight?

Mandy Lane: She sighs. Just stay together. She grabs Isaac's hand tightly to make sure he doesn't somehow get lost
[2/6/2015 11:20:18 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He squeezes her hand back, reassuring he's protecting her too.
[2/6/2015 11:22:26 PM] Arbi: They approach the cellar door, It's closed. They find the lock on the floor, it's broken, most likely having been busted with a tool.
[2/6/2015 11:27:44 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She leans down to look at the lock, still holding Isaac's hand. Whispering. The lock is broken. She stands up straight and hooks her foot under one of the doors and swings it open with her leg. Get ready.

Leena: She whispers. Are there lights down there?

Mandy Lane: The two of them keep whispering, Don't know. I've never been down there before.

Leena: Seriously?!

Mandy Lane: I was six years old the last time I was here, why the hell would I go poking around a basement?

Leena: Why does a cabin in California even have a basement in the first place!?

Mandy Lane: I don't know, ok?! Let's just stay calm. Maybe there's a wine cellar down there or something and he's just passed out drunk.

Leena: With a cannibal on the loose!?

Lucas: Actually wouldn't surprise me.
[2/6/2015 11:33:56 PM] Arbi: The sound of a snake hissing is heard behind the group most likely in the bushes, it almost sounds angry.
[2/6/2015 11:36:22 PM] Omniance: Leena: Her eyes dart in that direction. Alright I'm done. Lucifer, as a tiny black mouse jumps out of her purse and runs off into the bushes. She whispers very quietly. Find Yuri. Kill the snake.

Mandy Lane: What? Even though Leena was quiet, everyone heard her because she was listening for the snake.

Leena: Just listing our priorities.

Mandy Lane: She looks at Isaac. Snakes and cannibals.
[2/6/2015 11:41:26 PM | Edited 11:42:27 PM] Arbi: The sound of the "snake" getting angrier can be heard in it's voice. Quickly the hissing turns to almost speaking that gets louder until the sound of a mouse screaming is heard. Purple and green glowing acids fly out of the bush along with a little black creature. Whatever was behind the bush its footsteps can be heard as it runs away.
[2/6/2015 11:43:39 PM] Omniance: Leena: Lucifer! She bends down to grab her pet, but winces as she touches the bit of acid that hit it. Shit! She holds her fingers, Damn that burns!

Lucas: Was that acid glowing?
[2/6/2015 11:44:01 PM] \*\*\* Call ended, duration 9:46:12 \*\*\*
[2/6/2015 11:46:41 PM] Arbi: The acid quickly fades away, Lucifer's pain subsides but it looks tired and weak. Leena's fingers feel a little numb.
[2/6/2015 11:48:27 PM] Omniance: Leena: She touches her fingers together a few times and then picks up Lucifer. Damn it.

Mandy Lane: Is that a mouse? You have a pet mouse?

Leena: Yes.

Mandy Lane: You sent a mouse after a snake-

Leena: Will you shut up. What's in the basement?

Lucas: There was something weird about that snake... He takes a few steps away from the group, looking around the bush to see where it went.
[2/6/2015 11:49:29 PM | Edited 11:54:32 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He's feeling a little nervous now, not being very fond of snakes. Um...let's get inside before that snake comes back. He looks around, thinking he'll feel safer inside. He makes his way down into the basement first.
[2/6/2015 11:56:21 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She follows closely behind him, still holding his hand. I'm becoming more and more confused by what's happening.

Isaac: He's feeling a little nervous now, not being very fond of snakes. Um...let's get inside before that snake comes back. He looks around, thinking he'll feel safer inside. He makes his way down into the basement first.

Mandy Lane: She follows closely behind him, still holding his hand. I'm becoming more and more confused by what's happening.
[2/7/2015 6:54:36 PM | Edited 6:55:41 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Do you think an animal chased that snake away? He stops about halfway down the stairs, any further down and they won't be able to see where they're walking. He looks around for a light switch.
[2/7/2015 6:57:00 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Leena sent her mouse after it or something.

Lucas: He and Leena are moving down in the basement with them now, Leena has somehow gotten behind him so he's closer to Mandy. I heard footsteps. Snakes don't make footsteps.

Mandy Lane: So one of the cannibals has a snake?

Leena: That wasn't a normal snake... Lucas pulls out his lighter and ignites it, providing a small amount of light so that they can see better.
[2/7/2015 6:58:40 PM | Edited 6:59:04 PM] Arbi: Isaac: You know there's more humane ways to kill your pet mouse than feeding it to a snake. He looks back at Leena.
[2/7/2015 6:59:07 PM] Omniance: Leena: My mouse could eat a normal snake.
[2/7/2015 6:59:25 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She just mouths "what?" and shakes her head.
[2/7/2015 7:00:16 PM | Edited 7:02:26 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He shakes his head a little, thinking Leena may have a messed up personality she doesn't show often. He waits for Lucas to lead the way since he has a lighter.
[2/7/2015 7:03:16 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He steps ahead of Isaac, looking around in the darkness. They can't see much, but the place looks like it's empty, though they can only see a few feet around them. Why did you bring a "mouse" anyway? He looks back at her and shakes his head, his intention being that she should've obviously transformed Lucifer into something more dangerous when she revealed it.

Leena: She ignores him. Whispering very loudly. Yuri! Where the fuck are you!?
[2/7/2015 7:05:44 PM | Edited 7:07:55 PM] Arbi: The basement is quiet. As they reach the bottom steps and Lucas moves his lighter on their surroundings the first thing they see is a wooden table covered in old dark stains. Several clean metal tools are lined up on the table, some of them look like they'd be used for vehicles but others look more surgical.
[2/7/2015 7:08:34 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He walks up to the table when he sees it, looking at the stains more closely. I think this is blood. He looks the tools over.

Mandy Lane: What the hell happened here? She looks away from the table, and into the darkness around them.
[2/7/2015 7:11:48 PM | Edited 7:12:57 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks around in the dark basement, trying to make out what else is around them but without Lucas's lighter it's no use. He waits for him to keep moving.

The basement has a clean smell, but it's strange. Like the clean smell of a doctor's office. At this point they've realized that the floor of the basement is metal and is covered in huge drains so water or other liquids could run down into them.
[2/7/2015 7:13:17 PM] Omniance: Leena: She's already looking at the floor. Someone renovated this place with a drainage system or something... Let's get out of here...
[2/7/2015 7:13:43 PM] Arbi: Isaac: What about Yuri? He looks at Lucas.
[2/7/2015 7:14:27 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He yells out very loudly, loud enough that Leena jumps. Yuri! You down here?
[2/7/2015 7:15:17 PM | Edited 7:15:34 PM] Arbi: Something moves, making a noise in the darkness.
[2/7/2015 7:16:39 PM] Omniance: Leena: She smacks Lucas on the back. What's-

Lucas: Quiet, I heard something. He takes a few steps towards the sound, holding the lighter out in front of him.
[2/7/2015 7:20:54 PM] Arbi: It takes Lucas a few steps for his lighter to reveal what he heard. After a few yards his fire reveals the face of his brother, he's laying down on a metal table with a paper sheet underneath him. He's unconcious.
[2/7/2015 7:22:00 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Yuri! He runs up to the table, setting his lighter to the side. He puts his hand to him, shaking him lightly. Yuri! Wake up! He grabs him and shakes him more forcefully.
[2/7/2015 7:23:14 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He doesn't wake up, something put him to sleep forcefully like a drug.
[2/7/2015 7:23:48 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He grabs his brother trying to pick him up. Someone help me, let's get him back up into the cabin.
[2/7/2015 7:25:15 PM] Arbi: Isaac: Wh...What happened to him? He walks up and helps Lucas carry him with Yuri's arms around their shoulders, despite his lack of strength he still makes it easier to carry him.
[2/7/2015 7:25:49 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I don't know. Mandy Lane grabs the lighter. Let's get him into the house and I'll look him over.
[2/7/2015 7:38:01 PM | Edited 7:38:51 PM] Arbi: As everyone turns around a lightning bolt outside lights up the entire basement. It shows the room is full of people in black aprons and white masks covering their mouths. All of them have been watching them. The light subsides and they all vanish into the darkness again. At the foot of the steps one of them stands in their way, he's wearing glasses with his hair pulled back. He's the only one without an apron but still has a white masking covering his mouth.

Man: More animals for the slaughter. The light from outside is making him the only visible person in the basement besides each other. The main group prepare to fight but something changes in each of them. They no longer remember the people surrounding them in the room and in their minds what the man said is different, safer. I found him outside. He was on the ground, a snake had bitten him.
[2/7/2015 7:40:49 PM] Omniance: Leena: She's hiding closer behind Lucas, peaking out around his shoulder. That wasn't a snake.
[2/7/2015 7:52:58 PM] Arbi: Man: It was very much a snake. Leena thinks back, about to say something again to reveal his lies, she remembers the situation more clearly. It was a snake, Lucifer scared it away. And a very venomous one at that. He reaches over, flicking the light switch on.

Their instincts cause them to look around immediately like they saw people around them before but the basement is empty. The table they saw before is completely metal, it's very clean like laboratory owned by a researcher just as how they remembered seeing it when they first came in. Near one of the walls they see snakes in glass containers with different labels.

Man: Let me introduce myself. I'm Doctor Kh'er. He walks across the room with his hands behind his back. He places his latex glove covered hand on a glass container. A snake venom researcher. He watches the snake behind the glass. Had your friend collapsed anywhere else in these woods I may have not found him in time to apply the antidote.
[2/7/2015 7:54:25 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: So what the hell are you doing in the basement of my family's cabin?
[2/7/2015 8:04:03 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: Your basement? There must be a misunderstanding. He lowers his hand from the glass container. Five years ago at party held at the Boyle Estate I met an astounding man by the name of Bill. He seemed to have an interest in my work and offered to sell me this house when he found out I was in need of an underground research laboratory. He raises his arms, motioning to everything around him. I accepted and here we are today.
[2/7/2015 8:06:36 PM | Edited 8:06:51 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Lies. She narrows her eyes and stresses the "s" sound with her teeth. She seems to be extremely angry all of the sudden, like there's more to this place than it being a mere cabin to her.
[2/7/2015 8:11:51 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: He looks at Mandy. There is no reason for me to lie but I do have a reason to call the police. A group of teenagers have been wandering these woods every week, trespassing into the house above my labarotary and causing vandalism.
[2/7/2015 8:13:22 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Feel free to call them. The fact that you haven't already, makes you even more suspect, not less. Our friend was bitten by a snake, after all. She takes several steps forwards towards him. He needs help.
[2/7/2015 8:18:12 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: Your friend would be dead if it hadn't been for me. Paralysis is the second symptom of the the Libra snake's venom. He looks down at Yuri. Followed by respiratory failure and finally death. I suspected he was one of the teenagers that trespassed on my property. I am a merciful man but I will not stand to be called a liar. Get out.
[2/7/2015 8:21:17 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: What are you going to do? Call the police? She shakes her head, taking another step towards him.

Lucas: Mandy...

Mandy Lane: How about you explain the rotting leg we found on the grill earlier? Or why you were snooping around in the attic? The lock to this very basement was broken off, but that was probably just some pesky teenagers that showed up... We sure do love to drive miles from the nearest city, pick an arbitrary cabin in the woods a mile from the road, and start screwing with it for no reason.
[2/7/2015 8:29:08 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: He starts getting angry. I do not live in the house above my laboratory. Had I wanted to be harassed or murdered perhaps the idea would strike me as good. There are no rules out here young lady, a body could be dropped out here and no one would find it for months. If a psychotic man trying to harass me left a severed leg in the grill above my laboratory I will deal with it. He picks up his phone and starts dialing 911.
[2/7/2015 8:30:29 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She adjusts the pack slung around her shoulder and crosses her arms. Thanks.
[2/7/2015 8:31:55 PM] Arbi: Isaac: If we really are trespassing...we're going to get in trouble.
[2/7/2015 8:32:42 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: We'll get a slap on the wrist at most. It's not as if we were breaking and entering. She's glaring at the doctor.
[2/7/2015 8:33:11 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He said he owns this land. We technically broke into his house...
[2/7/2015 8:34:12 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: He should've changed the lock.

Leena: Mandy...

Mandy Lane: We're not getting the electric chair for walking into someone else's house. Which isn't his in the first place.
[2/7/2015 8:34:43 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head very slightly, waking up.

Dr. Kh'er is standing across the basement, speaking with the police. They can hear him explaining that the teenagers that were trespassing before are standing in his basement.
[2/7/2015 8:35:26 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Yuri? You alright? He helps him over to the table to let him sit.
[2/7/2015 8:36:42 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head and loudly says. No. He reaches down and raises his left pants leg, a bump with small bite marks on his legs can be seen. A fucking snake bit me.
[2/7/2015 8:37:12 PM] Omniance: Leena: Damn...
[2/7/2015 8:37:38 PM] Omniance: Lucas: How are you feeling? He puts his hand to Yuri's forehead, mostly out of a weird sort of reflex.
[2/7/2015 8:39:07 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He moves his elbow in circles, stretching. I can move again and I don't feel like I'm dying. I think I'm doing better. He looks around. Where the hell are we?
[2/7/2015 8:39:54 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: The basement of my family's cabin. She's keeping her eyes on the doctor. He's calling the police.
[2/7/2015 8:42:24 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at the glass containers full of snakes. After a moment he turns to look at Dr. Kh'er. That's good. Is he your uncle or something? Did you tell him about the cannibals?
[2/7/2015 8:43:01 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: He's just some lying asshole who is trying to trick us.
[2/7/2015 8:54:21 PM | Edited 8:54:52 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: He puts the phone down. A severed leg. My research lab will be shutdown for over a month. He opens a cabinet and looks through many different files. The police are on their way. He takes out the deed to the property and slides it across the table to Mandy. I would have never suspected that the lawyer's daughter was the colder one. I hope you're happy. He walks away from them to check on his snakes.
[2/7/2015 8:57:30 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stares at the deed with an aptly cold stare. Her father's signature at the bottom. She's become so angry that she's just silently standing there staring at it.

Lucas: Either way you had to call them, right? A murder... That's not something you can just... Gloss over and ignore.
[2/7/2015 9:00:46 PM | Edited 9:02:25 PM] Arbi: Dr. Kh'er: He ignores Lucas and writes something down on a few papers. He mumbles something angrily in german.

Yuri: He looks around at everyone, feeling uneasy. What's happening? Why does it feel like we're the ones in trouble and not cannibals?

Isaac walks up to the table and looks the deed over.
[2/7/2015 9:05:40 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She's still staring at the paper deed in silence. Though she has a completely blank expression on her face, here eyes look like they're seething with internal rage.

Leena: She whispers. He's a Nazi...

Lucas: He shakes his head at Leena's comment, as he's looking his brother's ankle over. Mom and dad are probably going to kill us.
[2/7/2015 9:06:26 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Mom and dad think we're spending the night at Joel's...we're gonna have our fucking car taken away.
[2/7/2015 9:07:18 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Well you got bit by a snake, that's gotta garner some sympathy for us. Maybe if I get bitten too... He seems to actually be considering it.
[2/7/2015 9:07:30 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He notices Mandy's rage, never having quite seen her this angry before. Instead of saying something he backs away, fearful that he may make it worse.
[2/7/2015 9:11:59 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She's still silent.

Lucas: I'm still really hungry...

Leena: She's looking at Yuri with her hand in her pocket, wrapped around Lucifer. She seems to think back to earlier, realizing that Lucifer wouldn't be so hurt by a normal snake. You know guys... I don't think that was a normal snake.
[2/7/2015 9:12:27 PM] \*\*\* Call ended, duration 5:16:05 \*\*\*
[2/7/2015 10:01:16 PM] \*\*\* Missed call from Arbi. \*\*\*
[2/7/2015 10:13:35 PM] \*\*\* Call to Arbi \*\*\*
[2/7/2015 10:15:40 PM] Arbi: Isaac: You saw it too? The glowing...venom?
[2/7/2015 10:16:18 PM] Omniance: Leena: That... And the fact that Lucifer isn't really hurt at all.
[2/7/2015 10:17:11 PM] Arbi: Yuri: What happened to your bird?
[2/7/2015 10:17:45 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He whispers to Yuri. It's a mouse...
[2/7/2015 10:18:26 PM] Arbi: Yuri: What happened to your mouse?
[2/7/2015 10:18:47 PM] Omniance: Leena: I thought it was bitten by a snake... Or something. She's not entirely sure what she thought. But he's fine.
[2/7/2015 10:22:17 PM | Edited 10:23:37 PM] Arbi: Isaac: I think someone may have been trying to scare us or mess with our heads. He thinks about everything that's happened. Maybe it was those teenagers...I don't know.
[2/7/2015 10:23:49 PM] Omniance: Leena: Who would go out of their way to pick on some Nazi in the middle of no where? That doesn't make sense.
[2/7/2015 10:24:58 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks over at the scientist. He's a nerd and he's german. You'd be surprised.
[2/7/2015 10:25:52 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Why do you keep calling him a Nazi?

Leena: I don't know. The situation seems... Nazi-ish.
[2/7/2015 10:28:26 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He thinks Dr. Kh'er can hear them and souds worried. Leena, you're gonna get us in more trouble...

Yuri: Let's go back upstairs. Why are we still in this basement?
[2/7/2015 10:30:19 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She's still staring at the deed in silence.

Lucas: You were passed out.

Leena: Let's just go get something to eat out of the fridge... Poor Samson... I think all of this might've been a misunderstanding... I wish we knew that there was a phone down here to begin with.
[2/7/2015 10:32:03 PM] Arbi: Yuri: We should've checked the basement first. He looks over at Mandy. What is she doing?
[2/7/2015 10:32:54 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I think she's having trouble with... The situation... He's unsure if he should try to comfort her or something.
[2/7/2015 10:33:14 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Situation?
[2/7/2015 10:33:53 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He speaks in a low tone. Her dad sold this cabin to the doctor guy...
[2/7/2015 10:34:28 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Then why did she invite us over here?
[2/7/2015 10:34:58 PM | Edited 10:36:01 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks down, whispering so Mandy doesn't hear. I don't think she told her parents we were coming here.
[2/7/2015 10:35:54 PM] Omniance: Leena: She sighs, Well I guess that's not really a big deal... None of our parents know we're here.
[2/7/2015 10:37:44 PM] Arbi: Yuri: The police are gonna call our parents if they find us here. I'm getting the fuck out of here. He heads for the stairs.
[2/7/2015 10:38:26 PM] Omniance: Lucas: The tires are slashed, we aren't going anywhere.
[2/7/2015 10:40:14 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He keeps walking upstairs. You think that's gonna stop me?
[2/7/2015 10:41:11 PM] Omniance: Lucas: What are you going to do, walk into the woods in the middle of the night? Yuri! He chases after him. Leena runs after the two of them.
[2/7/2015 10:41:53 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He stays behind to keep an eye on Mandy since she still hasn't said anything.
[2/7/2015 10:42:50 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks around the cabin towards his jeep in the rain. I'm not losing my car because your girlfriend, Lucas.
[2/7/2015 10:43:27 PM] Omniance: Lucas: You drive the damn thing back into town with slashed tires and you'll fuck up the rims, then we'll lose the car anyway because mom and dad won't want to pay for it!
[2/7/2015 10:44:02 PM] Arbi: Yuri stops infront of his car. Lucas catches up and stops too, seeing their jeep has every tire intact.
[2/7/2015 10:45:03 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks the car over, reaching for his lighter, which Mandy still has. ...They were completely flat earlier. Completely slashed open. He looks at Yuri and then Leena. We all saw it. Leena nods.
[2/7/2015 10:45:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I'm not even gonna quesiton it. He takes out his keys and opens the driver's door before getting in.
[2/7/2015 10:46:32 PM] Omniance: Leena: I'm gonna question it. She tries to stop Yuri by running up and grabbing his shoulder. This whole weekend I've sensed something wrong. She looks back at Lucas. Illusions. Illusion magic. That has to be what it is.
[2/7/2015 10:46:58 PM | Edited 10:47:48 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He turns around to look at Leena, a little annoyed they can't talk in the car since it's raining. What are you trying to say, Leena?
[2/7/2015 10:49:14 PM] Omniance: Leena: She pauses, thinking quietly. Maybe... Maybe there's something out here. In the woods that's preying on us.

Lucas: ...Stop being so vague.

Leena: Alright. I don't like camping. I don't like cabins in the woods. I watched Evil Dead when I was little and they've scared me every since, alright? The point is, I was scared, so maybe something was trying to prey on our fears... You know what I mean?

Lucas: Something? Like a demon? Leena shrugs.
[2/7/2015 10:50:31 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I can kill a demon, Leena. I can't kill a fucking cop. He almost glares at Leena and opens his car door all the way again before getting inside.
[2/7/2015 10:51:30 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs and walks around the car, getting in on the passenger's side.

Leena: You're just going to leave?!
[2/7/2015 10:51:46 PM | Edited 10:52:00 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Who's going to stop me?! He turns the engine on.
[2/7/2015 10:52:10 PM] Arbi: Police sirens are suddenly heard in the distance.
[2/7/2015 10:52:40 PM] Omniance: Leena: Fleeing from the scene of the crime is going to make you look suspicious you guys!
[2/7/2015 10:53:16 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at Lucas, wanting his input on what he should do.
[2/7/2015 10:54:53 PM] Omniance: Lucas: She's right. At the same time... He shakes his head. It's a lose-lose situation, really. If we stay we'll be questioned by the police and mom and dad will kill us. If we run the police will probably track us down and things might be worse...
[2/7/2015 10:55:30 PM] Omniance: Leena: The fact that you'd be abandoning Isaac... And Mandy here to take the heat alone.
[2/7/2015 10:57:38 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He starts hitting his forehead on the steering wheel.
[2/7/2015 10:58:28 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's trying to think of what to do. How is there no easy way out of this? ...We're not the bad guys here...
[2/7/2015 10:58:57 PM] Omniance: Leena: We'll just stay and explain the situation. If we're lucky, maybe the cops won't even call our parents, and we'll just be sent home.
[2/7/2015 11:04:38 PM] Omniance: About thirty minutes later they're all sitting in the den. The doctor has been left to the basement for now as the officer has been here quite a few times.
[2/7/2015 11:09:06 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: He's a young looking guy, looking to be in his late 20's or early 30's. Short black hair, tanned skin, and is about the same height as the twins. Athletically built, like someone who goes hiking through these woods a great deal and not really your typical fat donut-devouring city cop. He has a notepad out. So who wants to talk first about what happened here?
[2/7/2015 11:11:08 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane still hasn't said a word this entire time. She's just staring at the floor in silence.
[2/7/2015 11:11:49 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks away from the officer, not wanting to have to explain the bullshit that's been happening since they first got here.
[2/7/2015 11:16:04 PM] Omniance: Leena: She looks at the others for a moment, not sure if she wants to talk.

Lucas: We came up here for the weekend and found that severed leg you saw when we went to grill some burgers... We freaked out and couldn't find a phone, so one of our friends decided to hike into town to call the police. While we were waiting for him we thought we heard someone upstairs, when we went up to investigate we didn't find anything, so we decided to check around the house. There was a snake or something outside, so we ran into the basement, which is where we ran into conflict with the doctor.
[2/7/2015 11:17:23 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: Alright. I have numerous questions, the first of which being: Why did you come up here if it's not your cabin? You invaded another person's private property.
[2/7/2015 11:19:44 PM] Omniance: Lucas: We were told this was Mandy Lane's family's property, until we saw the doctor's deed, she thought it was too... He shrugs slightly. She had the key to the front door and everything. It's not like we broke in.
[2/7/2015 11:21:16 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: He looks at Mandy for a moment. You said you heard a snake and ran into the basement?

Lucas: Yeah, it bit my brother. He looks at Yuri. Show him your leg.
[2/7/2015 11:21:54 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He raises his pants leg up and shows the officer where he was bit.
[2/7/2015 11:25:48 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: He bends down to look at the bite. Looks like it's fine now.

Lucas: The doctor gave him some antidote or something. Anti-venom.

Officer Lee: He writes something on his notepad. This residence has been constantly vandalized for the passed two years by campers, hikers, and youths such as yourselves. Why should I believe anything you're saying?

Mandy Lane: Because we asked the doctor to call the police. She looks up from the floor very slowly. ...We practically had to beg him. Even after we told him about the severed leg, even after Yuri was bitten by a snake, even after we told him someone was running around in his attic, he was still reluctant. We wanted you to be here... Officer.
[2/7/2015 11:28:03 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: How did you have a key to the front door Miss Lane?

Mandy Lane: This was my family's cabin. We used to come here went I was growing up. My father never told me he sold the place off.
[2/7/2015 11:30:25 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: He writes something down. So why did your friend hike back into town?

Lucas: ...What?

Officer Lee: You said there was a sixth that hiked into town to get the police up here, right? Why? Lucas looks at Yuri. ...Why not just drive back into town. You have two cars here... Why stay here at all?
[2/7/2015 11:31:43 PM] Arbi: Yuri: His eyes widen and he looks down at the floor in despair, having forgot Lucas is the worst liar in the world.
[2/7/2015 11:37:03 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: Something here doesn't add up.

Mandy Lane: Her expression goes blank once more and she looks back down at the floor. The truth is... I didn't want him to go. I thought that if word about this got back home my father's business would get bad press, so I tried to keep everyone here by hiding their keys... She looks to the side and then up at the officer, her eyes watering. I just wanted to have a nice weekend out with my friends, alright? Then all of this happened and... Tears start running down her face. Everything got so screwed up. I'm not even supposed to be up here... I'm sorry. She looks down, putting her hand to her face. Everyone can't help but feel sorry for her. But Samson wanted to do the right thing so he ran off into town.
[2/7/2015 11:38:50 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He whispers very quietly to himself, feeling bad that she's crying now. Mandy...
[2/7/2015 11:44:08 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: It's my fault, alright? If you're going to get anyone into trouble, just take me. She wipes her face with her sleeve and looks up at the officer.

Officer Lee: I... I'm sorry. Look. He folds his notepad closed and puts it in his pocket. I don't think you guys caused this, and I don't think you cut off anyone's leg. I think you've just gotten caught up in something you don't understand... He sighs.

Mandy Lane: Seeing that leg... It was terrible. I didn't know what to do. I just freaked out, alright? I tried to play it cool but I can't, I just can't, so I bullied everyone into keeping quiet, and I just... After we heard someone moving around in the attic we just wanted to get out of here and call cops, then we ran into that doctor and he just made everything more confusing... Saying he owned the place and that we were trespassing! ...I'm sorry... I didn't mean for this...
[2/7/2015 11:46:02 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at Lucas, a little impressed by how well she's acting.
[2/7/2015 11:49:19 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's equally surprised.

Leena: It's ok Mandy, we know this was important to you. She walks over and sits next to Mandy.

Officer Lee: Look, let's just drop this for now, alright? I'll lead you guys into town, and I'll let you off the hook. How's that sound? Mandy just looks down, her face in her hands.
[2/7/2015 11:50:43 PM] Arbi: Isaac: That sounds great, officer. He looks up at him, thankful.
[2/7/2015 11:52:10 PM] Omniance: Officer Lee: He takes a deep breath then lets out a sigh of relief. Let's get going then, I have to call in a detective for this... Strangeness. You guys didn't touch the leg right?

Leena: No... Hell no.

Officer Lee: He nods slightly. Turning and heading for the door.
[2/7/2015 11:53:01 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He stands up when the frontdoor closes behind the officer. Holy shit. He looks at Mandy. How the fuck did you do that?
[2/7/2015 11:54:28 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She wipes her face. Because I really did want this to be a nice weekend. She looks at Yuri. ...And I didn't want to be arrested.
[2/7/2015 11:55:21 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He hugs Mandy from behind. I'm sorry it didn't turn out like you planned.
[2/7/2015 11:57:11 PM] Omniance: Lucas: A set of images from the last few hours flash in his head. Mandy and Isaac in the same car together, holding hands, talking in the kitchen, Mandy smiling at Isaac when they first got here. ...Are you two dating? Leena rubs her forehead.
[2/7/2015 11:59:04 PM | Edited 12:00:44 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks at Lucas and nods while still holding her, a little too shy to out right say yes infront of everyone.
[2/7/2015 11:59:52 PM] Omniance: Lucas: His eyes widen slightly. Let's... Go. He pulls out his keys and heads for the front door.
[12:00:27 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She shakes her head slightly, smirking as Leena follow after Lucas. She whispers. I think he's jealous...
[12:01:32 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He quickly follows after his brother. I'm driving this time!
[12:01:54 AM] Arbi: The group make their way out of the cabin.
[12:02:16 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile in the basement.
[12:08:21 AM] Arbi: Voice: What a clever girl you have, Astrieya. I underestimated her.

Something is watching Dr. Kh'er. It's standing across the room just starring at him.

Voice: Don't fret, my dear brother...

The thing is standing right behind him now.

Voice: I won't make the same mistake again.

Dr. Kh'er: He feels something breathing on his neck. He immediately turns to look, he sees no one else in the room. He sighs, his heart beating fast. After a moment of making sure there really isn't anyone else in the room he turns back around.
