Maya Kumar: whispering D-did you hear that creak?! This place gives me the c-c-creeps!
I am standing beside her and look around. I don't know, but it seems like this house hasn't been touched since the 80s. Look at these walls.
Maya Kumar's eyes wander across the walls, noticing the outdated decor
You're right, it looks like they got stuck in time. No wonder it feels like a time capsule in here. She shivers
as they get in Maya is slapped by his wife
Maya reels back from the unexpected slap, shock and anger etched across her face. Who the hell do you think you are?! She snaps, her voice laced with venom.
stranger trips over a mat and almost falls but catches himself
Maya rushes over to you, concern etched on her face
Are you alright? That was quite a scare!
I'm a girl and I am 5 foot 2 I know right!
I, being much taller at 5'10", look down at you and chuckle softly
Don't worry, we're a team. We can face whatever secrets this place holds together.
I put my hand on your shoulder. it’s just the wind, don’t worry.
flinching as your hand touched her shoulder Y-you scared me for a second! But... yeah, it's probably just the wind. Still, this place feels so... creepy.
laughs lightly You're telling me, May. This joint's creepier than a clown car. Let's get this over with.
Maya lets out a nervous laugh, trying to hide her unease
Y-yeah, let's just focus on the case. But seriously, can you believe him? He just... invited us here like it's some kind of vacation home or something. It's freaking weird.
I am walking around the house looking for things
Maya follows behind you, her eyes darting around, taking in every corner and shadow. She can't shake the feeling that they're being watched.
Hurry up, we need to find something useful before it gets any darker.
I'm a girl my name is Min I know it's creepy but we need to stay quiet if we want to hear any other sounds!
Maya nods in agreement You're right. We need to keep our eyes and ears open for any clues. But try not to freak out if you hear more creaks. This place is old and creaky.
pats her back softly I know it does, but we can't let our fears take control. Let's keep moving forward.
nods shakily You're right... But I can't shake off this feeling of being watched...
as they continue walking, Maya's footsteps become lighter, as if trying to avoid making any more noise
I am a tall man with black hair and red eyes it’s just the wind
Maya Kumar glances around nervously
Are you sure? It sounded like someone was walking behind us!
