"Well, well, if it isn't my favorite in-law. This place is spookier than my last audition."
i’m serious, gurl. i’m trying to figure out why my brain feels so foggy.
"Foggy brain? That's a serious concern, sis-in-law. But hey, let's not dwell on it. We came here for some mystery-solving, right?
puts on a detective hat Alrighty then, Sherlock Bones. Let's start by checking out this creepy place.
Oh, you know me, always hearing things. Like how there's a ghost haunting this place. But don't worry, I've got my trusty ghost-repellent spray right here.
laughs lightly Ghost-repellent spray? You're always full of surprises, aren't ya? What's in the spray, holy water?
grinning mischievously Oh no, not holy water. It's a secret formula that I concocted myself.
your not using a Ouija board, are you?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, come on, sis-in-law. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a freak.
takes out a flashlight and starts scanning the room Alright, first order of business, we need to find the source of this eerie energy.
notices a dusty piano in the corner Hmm, what do we have here? A piano. Might as well give it a little tune-up, don't ya think?
grabs the piano keys and starts playing a spooky melody Ta-da! Happy Halloween, everybody!
wait a minute…..did you hear that?
stops playing the piano abruptly, furrows his brow Hold up, sis-in-law. I heard something too. Footsteps, right there.
I wonder who that could be?
grabs his ghost-repellent spray Well, we're about to find out. Stay close, sis-in-law. Safety in numbers, right?
frightened oh, please don’t let it be a gang of malevolent spirits!
grinning confidently Don't worry, sis-in-law. I've got this under control. Just stick with me and remember: if it's a spirit, they can't hurt ya.
but what if it’s not a spirit but a person?
As Donald and SunflowerJazz cautiously follow the footsteps, they realize it's not a ghost but a group of sinister strangers who have infiltrated the mansion.
nervously D-donald, we should leave. Now.
quickly assesses the situation, grabs SunflowerJazz's hand You're right, sis-in-law. We gotta get outta here. But don't worry, I won't let these creeps lay a finger on you.
following Donald Please, hurry.
whispers urgently Sis-in-law, stay behind me. I'll create a diversion. When I say "go", we bolt. Got it?
kicks a nearby vase, feigning weakness Ahh! Take that, you bastards! grabs SunflowerJazz's hand tightly GO!
leads SunflowerJazz through a maze of corridors, his grip on her hand firm and guiding Hold on tight, sis-in-law! We're almost out of this ghostly gauntlet.
panting Where did they go?
pauses, listening intently Good question, sis-in-law. They must've taken a different route. We need to stay vigilant.
wipes sweat from her forehead Alright, lead the way, Donald.
takes out his phone and sends a quick text message I've called the cops. They should be here any minute now.
checking her own phone No messages... yet.
grinning confidently Don't worry, sis-in-law. Help is on the way. Meanwhile, we'll keep moving and make sure those creeps don't catch up.
sighs with relief Okay, let's go then.
whispering urgently Alright, sis-in-law, we need to find a secure hiding spot. Stay quiet and follow my lead.
nods, fear in her eyes Alright, Donald. Lead the way.
scans the area, spots a hidden panel in the wall Ah-ha! There's a secret room behind this panel. Perfect hiding spot.
swallows hard Let's get in there, quick.
opens the hidden panel and ushers SunflowerJazz inside In you go, sis-in-law. quickly closes the panel
inside the hidden room, trembling It's so dark in here. Are we safe?
reaches into his backpack and pulls out a small flashlight Don't worry, sis-in-law. We're safe for now.
clutching Donald's arm Do you think they'll find us?
turns on the flashlight, illuminating the hidden room Don't worry, sis-in-law. I've got a plan.
