Haunted House Meme 
The Haunting
A. Ghosts. Creepy, tragic, and possibly violent, they’ve got unfinished business in this world and you’re the unsuspecting victims who have just become the targets for their wrath.
B. Creatures. Unearthly monsters summoned from a hell-dimension or mutations created by a mad scientist, this is their house now, and they are fascinated and hungry.
C. The People in the Walls. Someone—or several someones—have been living in this house. They’re no longer human anymore, and their sanity has been frayed to the very edge. They’ve been surviving on mice and bats until now. But now you're here, and don't you look delicious?
D. The House Itself. Maybe it was built evil, or maybe it became evil after the horrible deeds that were committed in it. The very walls of the house are soaked with blood, and the house is angry, and hungry. It has you now, and it doesn’t plan to let you out.
E. The Cabin in the Woods Experiment. None of this is natural phenomena. You don’t know it yet, but you’re part of a larger experiment. You’re the rats in the maze, and the scientists are observing—and toying with—your every move.
F. Choose your own horror movie plot!
[Option G: Sumia is completely oblivious to the bad Spirits and Things going on.]
... Stumbles, didn't anyone ever tell you why it's a bad idea to wander alone into a giant creepy-looking mansion? I'm not even that superstitious and I can come up with a list of reasons not to give the door a single knock.
Don't be rude, Gaius. What if they don't have time to dust?
I'm sure whoever is in there is perfectly nice and willing to help us out.

Oh look! They must have opened the door while they ran upstairs to get properly dressed.
[Who's the white-haired young man who peeks arund the super creepy haunted school and looks like a kitty in cream? Who is he? ]

Do you know how to get out of here, Henry? The others are probably worried sick.
...wherever they are.
[She could sense something was off with the manor where they'd found Nah, and not just the Risen swarming it. She'd tried to brush it off as her imagination, not wanting to scare the girl further by mentioning anything...besides, it wasn't as if they were going back there, right?

Then another Risen attack sprung up there, and then another. The Shepherds would go to the manor in groups of two or more to get rid of them; this time it was Robin, Sumia, Lon'qu, and Gregor's turn to handle things. By now, Robin was almost certain something was off about the place, of the reason why Risen kept showing up here more than anywhere else.

Her strategy involved splitting into teams of two; Gregor and Lon'qu had gone one way while she and Sumia took the other half of the manor. They'd need to get rid of the enemy before Robin mentioned her theory to the others.]
And to think Nowi's daughter was here. Of all places. Poor girl.

[Sumia's voice was hushed as they walked through the dark halls of the manor, keeping her gaze steady as she turned her head.]

Do you think it was a good idea to separate like this? The last time we were here, there were Risen at every corner.
And she still tried to be so brave.

[Robin kept as close to her friend as she could, unable to help a shiver.]

The Risen seem more evenly divided this time. Gregor and Lon'qu insisted they'd be fine on their own, and we brought plenty of healing items. [Plus, Robin's recently taken the Sage path and has been learning to use staves from Lissa.]

[Compared to Robin, Sumia wasn't as talented noting formations or supports. There was the obvious. And that's what she could pick up.

She sighed, carefully rounding the hallway and into a rather large room where--]

Wh-what was that?
[Robin can only hope her tactics are up to snuff, she'd hate for anyone to get hurt. But the noise startles her out of her thoughts, and she reaches for Sumia's hand.]

Risen, or the house settling. Well, we're ready if they're looking for a fight!
[She grips Robin's hand.]

Right. They don't know what they're in for.
What if it is the house settling? Like we're going to look silly drawing our weapons for that.
Better safe than sorry. We're trained fighters, we have to be ready for anything.
R... right! We are protectors of peace and that's what we must do!

[Holding her lance out, she slowly rounds the corner.]
[More noises come, louder, almost sounding like wails...she doesn't remember any crying Risen, just growly ones...]

They're in here somewhere...
[Sumia stops in her tracks at the cries, holding her lace defensively.]

That-that's no Risen. Risen do not sound like that.
They don't. [She pauses, glancing around warily] And it didn't sound like Gregor or Lon'qu...maybe someone's actually trapped here, being attacked by the Risen? [Except Chrom would have said something if that was the case...]
[Immediately Sumia begins to back away, the wails growing louder and louder.]

A-a cry for help wouldn't sound like that. No, Robin, this is something really bad.

[And then. A second of bravery flashed in her eyes.]

Gregor and Lon'qu!
