runs a hand through his hair, trying to appear calm Well, babe, basements are just... they're like the unspeakable darkness of the world.

takes a deep breath Alright, babe, brace yourself. The basement in this house, it's like stepping into another dimension.
nervously Uh, yeah, together sounds good. But you have to promise me, MauveElation, whatever you see down there, whatever weird and creepy things you come across...
turns on the flashlight and slowly opens the basement door Alright, here goes nothing.
gasps Oh my god, babe, look at all these old skeletons! It's like a freaking graveyard down here!
stumbles backward, voice trembling Whoa, whoa! Don't be so excited, babe. These bones... they're not just old relics. They're remnants of people's lives, their remains scattered around. It's kind of... haunting, you know? Ethan: shivers, wraps arms around himself Let's get out of here, babe. This place gives me the creeps.
walks over to an old piano and starts playing it
As MauveElation plays the piano, strange shadows begin to dance on the walls, and an eerie melody fills the air. Suddenly, the lights flicker and go out, plunging the basement into darkness.
turns on a phone flashlight
grabs MauveElication's hand Babe, we need to get out of here! This place is messing with our minds!
panicked What? Carry you? Are you serious? Babe, I don't know if I can handle that on top of everything else. My arms might give out!
hesitates, then takes a deep breath Okay, okay. Fine. I'll carry you. But only because I don't want you getting injured or anything.
grunts and lifts MauveElication into his arms Just hold on tight, babe. We're getting out of here.
