Whispering Ready to dance with the devil?
somehowm

Teddy raises an eyebrow. Are you quite sure about that?
somehowm
THIS ISN’T IT! UHHHHH- I THOUGHT YOU HAD THE ADDRESS?!
Smirking Oh dear me, did I get it wrong? Silly mistake, really.
somehowm
-staring at teddy- no. uhhhh, WE NEED TO GET THERE NOWWWW runs outside
Chuckling My my, how impatient you are. Quickly catches up to somehowm There’s no need to rush, we have all the time in the world.
somehowm
do we though!? THE UMPTEENTH TIME IS NOT A GOOD TIME! IT’S THE MILLIONTH TIME!
Smirking The millionth time, you say? Well, aren’t we just very precise with our numbers. Do try to keep up, darling. We wouldn’t want to be late now, would we?
somehowm
YES WE WOULD!!!!!!1!11!!1!1 -running-
Continuing to walk briskly Late? Oh, but punctuality is such a virtue, isn’t it? Besides, what could possibly happen if we’re a little Fashionably late?
somehowm
What can possibly happen? EVERYTHING! THERES PAPERWORK, FORMS, SIGNED PAPERS, STUFF TO FILE! WE’RE GOING TO LOSE OUR NECKS!
Rolls eyes Oh, come now. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little risk. Where’s your sense of adventure? After all, that’s why we’re here, isn’t it?
somehowm
continues running outside WHY ARE WE HERE!? DIDNT YOU JUST BUY THIS PLACE?
Follows outside Yes, I did buy this place. And what a delightful place it is too.
somehowm
NO ITS NOT! WAIT STOP! YOU’RE LEAVING ME BEHIND
<As somehowm tries to catch up to Teddy, they stumble and fall, twisting their ankle>
somehowm
AAAAH- STOP- OUCH- grabs onto teddy
Helping somehowm up gently There, there. Easy now. No need to get yourself all worked up. Carefully examining the ankle It doesn’t look too bad.
somehowm
TRYING TO DANCE ON ONE LEG DOESNT WORK!
Smirking Darling, dancing on one leg is a rather advanced technique. I’m surprised you haven’t mastered it yet.
somehowm
WHAT-
Laughs Oh, come now. Don’t be so serious. You know I like to tease you. Now, let’s get you up. Offers hand With a bit of practice, you’ll be dancing on one leg like a pro in no time.
somehowm
Ugh, -takes hand-
Pulls somehowm up There you go, good as new. Now, shall we continue our little adventure? I promise there won’t be any more mishaps.
somehowm
….ALRIGHT -hobbles along-
Walking alongside So, my dear, what exactly were you hoping to find at this mysterious mansion of yours? Something exciting, perhaps?
somehowm
I mean…yeah..somewhat…but mostly
Raises an eyebrow "Somewhat, but mostly?" Now, that’s an interesting way to phrase it. Pray tell, what exactly do you mean by that?
somehowm
-leans against wall- SOMEWHAT… meaningsomeWHAT!
Raises an eyebrow, smirking "Somewhatmeaningful," you say? Now that's intriguing. Pray, elaborate further, my dear. What sort of secrets do you seek in this enigmatic mansion?
somehowm
Idk man, the address was supposed to be there, wtf-
Crosses arms, leaning in closer My dear, you must learn to control your temper. Language, after all, is a delicate art. Takes out a handkerchief and daintily wipes his lips Now, tell me, have you checked your mailbox recently? Perhaps the invitation got misplaced there.
somehowm
IM LITERALLY AT THE MANSION! -points outside- WHY WOULD IT BE IN MY MAILBOX!
Looks around, observing the surroundings Ah, I see. So, the invitation wasn't in your mailbox then. That does complicate matters. Pulls out a small notepad from his pocket and jotting down some notes But fear not, my dear. We'll find another way. Taps his chin thoughtfully Perhaps someone in the neighborhood knows something. Let's inquire, shall we? Looks around for someone to ask Neighborhood Person: Approaches curiously Can I help you folks?
somehowm
You know the owner of this mansion? I mean, yes, teddy knows, but im talking about the REAL owner
<The neighborhood person reveals that the real owner of the mansion is a secret society, known only as 'The Shadows'>
somehowm
..secret society???
Eyes widen, intrigued A secret society, you say? Fascinating. And here I thought this was just another ordinary mansion. Puts a hand on somehowm's shoulder My dear, it seems our adventure just took a rather unexpected turn. But fear not, for I happen to have a few connections within the shadowy realms. Pulls out a silver compact mirror and flips it open, revealing a hidden message Evidently, The Shadows have left us a little clue. Shall we decipher it together?
somehowm
How tf did you get in?
Smirks My dear, secrets are best kept close to one's chest. But fear not, for I have my ways. Closes the compact mirror, hiding the message Now, let us focus on deciphering this clue. Glances at the mirror Ah, it seems there's a hidden entrance beneath the main gate. Shall we investigate further?
somehowm
Ok ok ok-
Grabs a nearby flashlight and leads the way towards the main gate Follow me closely now, my dear. We don't want to miss any crucial details. Shines the light towards the ground, spotting a hidden switch Ah, there it is! Kneels down and presses the switch Watch closely, my dear. The ground begins to rumble, and a hidden door opens, revealing a dark tunnel Neighborhood Person: Gazes in awe Incredible!
