<span style="font-weight: bold">Excitement!</span><br/><br/>“She’s with<span style="font-style: italic">them!</span>” Ishidora shrieks, as the girls thunder towards the door. “Don’t-”<br/><br/>“Shut up!” Katina hisses, furious and loud and unwilling to abandon her fellow catgirl to the tigeress, as she hauls open the manor’s heavy door. “Hurry!” She shouts.<br/><br/>Dawdling as much as she dares, Katina still reaches the door more than dozen paces ahead of Resha. Katina wrenches her through as the other girls slam it shut, the edge tweaking the tip of her tail as they do so, and the latch bangs home. “There’s no<span style="font-style: italic">key</span>,” Marija wails, staring helplessly at the robust lock that would’ve held the door against even Resha’s best efforts.<br/><br/>“<span style="font-style: italic">Help</span>me with this,” Vesele interrupts, dragging a heavy beam from its place besides the door, as the rest of them help her to lift the bar into its brackets across the door - into which it doesn’t fit. “Damnit,” Vesele snarls, “wood must’ve swollen.” A crash echoes against the door, as Resha slams into it. The latch jumps in its tray, almost bouncing free, and the handful of nails securing it quiver.Intend to resist mild breezes, not angry tigeresses, it clearly won’t hold for long.<br/><br/>“Do we flee?” Marija whimpers, retreating from the doorway. “Or hide? Is there a backdoor?”<br/>NB: Aiyaka’s influence can somewhat guide what happens inside… I assume(d) Resha is going to try to get through the doorway, and will soon succeed if she continues attempting it. No-one of the girls, nor any of you, has seen the back of the manor, and though its reasonable to assume it would have other entrances - perhaps for servants - they might also be secured. It is, after all, located in quite an unsafe environment…
