Re: HOUSE

[soulping]

[As you walk out the door to the rest of the house, everything is dreary and cold. It’s dark, windowless, without any lights to be found. The place you enter into looks to be a hallway in the dim light, but the more you walk, you realize the hallway is endless. There’s no decoration here, only dust laying over every surface and a feeling of hopelessness and monotony. There’s a door on the opposite end of the corridor, but you know it’s never going to grow closer. It never changes. It’s always the same. You will never be able to leave this place.

The more you walk, the more weary you become.]

[OKAY I GUESS I HAVE TO GO BACK...]

Re: HOUSE

[soulping]

[You're back in the bedroom.]

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Okay how about the lamp next to the screaming record player, does it make me feel things.]

Re: HOUSE

[soulping]

[Touching the lamp gives you a sense of solace. You’re strong enough to last through your circumstances, even if you doubt it sometimes. If you take it day by day, someday you’ll be somewhere better.]

[...Dammit, I was hoping it wouldn't.

Sighs.

SIGHS.

And elbows the window.]

Re: HOUSE

[soulping]

[You break open the window. There's a new sense of hope in the room; it immediately appears less oppressively clean, seeming more like a normal teenager's bedroom.]

[ HI I EXIST ]

...What's going on.

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

I just broke this window.

Re: HOUSE

[timedog]

...Why?

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

To let the air in.

Re: HOUSE

[timedog]

Are we suffocating?

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

The air also has hope in it.

Re: HOUSE

[timedog]

How do we get more?

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

I dunno.

There was a locked door though, so let's check it now.

[Gonna check the closet.]

[ SYNCHRONIZED CLOSET CHECKING ]

Re: HOUSE

[soulping]

[It's still locked.]

Re: HOUSE

[wherethewildthingsare]

[Note to self, pull Opal's hair later.]

There's an endless hallway, too. Maybe that cleared up.

Re: HOUSE

[timedog]

If not, maybe we should just try walking further down it? Maybe it's just really long!
