"What is your game?  Who are you talking to?"  Lea asked impatiently as they eventually caught up to their supposed guide who was clearly setting them up for some sort of fright to further enhance the reputation of this supposedly haunted mansion.  She had only heard the guide's voice, suggesting she was responding to someone from another realm, or much more probably following her script.  Lea had been to haloween haunted houses before and in her younger years enjoyed the spine tingling sensation of it all.  She smiled as the grad student made his pronouncements about madness but she could feel the stress in his tightening grip.  But she was also aware that strong emotions fed on each other and it wouldn't be the first time in her life that a good fright led to even better sex.<br/><br/>"Oh yes indeed, we must move forward."  She said, barely concealing her sarcasm.  She was preparing herself for an accomplice or a prop to jump out at them and give them a good scare.  Her only worry was that this was the overall safety of the place.   Commercial haunted houses still had to follow safety rules but there seemed to be no such caution taken here.  This was low budget, and her nose crnkled as the evidence of a non-functioning bathroom reached her nose.<br/><br/>"How much did you pay for this tour sport?"  She asked, wondering how this could possibly be a money maker on any legitimate level.  She had assumed the Warden had paid her admission as she certainly hadn't and wouldn't have for this kind of cheap thrill.  He certainly seemed to have bought into the idea.<br/><br/>She expected someone in dark clothes to jump out at them, even though she was prepared she still knew she would probably scream and throw herself bodily at the boy.  But what happened next to her was well beyond her expectations.  For the briefest of moments the dark and the smell were gone.  The hallway was lit, dimly but it.  The kitchen smelled of cooking had a warmth to it, and the bathroom door was closed properly.  And as soon as it flashed before her eyes it was gone.<br/><br/>"How did you do that?"  She asked in genuine wonder, speaking to their guide in the stench, filth, and darkness once more.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="41027" data-username="@MsBloom" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/41027/">@MsBloom</a><a class="username" data-user-id="44874" data-username="@SurreptitiousApple" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/44874/">@SurreptitiousApple</a><a class="username" data-user-id="34307" data-username="@Colonel_Liam" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/34307/">@Colonel_Liam</a>
