Lila: adjusts leggings, eyes wide D-did you h-hear that? Floor's c-creaking like a... g-ghost's b-back!
Voxterem
I sigh and walk around the corner, wearing a baggy hoodie and pajama pants. "Yeah, I heard it. It's this damn old house."
Lila follows you, clutching a book tightly as she glances around nervously Y-yeah... b-but the way it creaked s-sounded so... o-organic. Like s-someone was w-walking around.
Voxterem
I chuckle and shrug probably just the wind or something, this old place settles a lot.
she shakes her head, looking around the room with a mix of fear and curiosity N-no, I-I know the difference between the w-wind and a ghost. T-this place feels... off.
Voxterem
I am a 15 year old boy
Lila looks at you, surprised
whispering Oh... You're a boy! I thought you were a girl!
She looks around nervously
S-so... We're stuck here together?
Voxterem
Yeah, this place is creepy. Let's just get out of here. tries to open the door, but it's stuck
gulps, watching you struggle with the door W-wait! Maybe we should s-see if there's anything interesting f-first...
Voxterem
I grab my bat and go exploring
Lila follows you, her eyes darting around the room as she grips her book tightly
W-we shouldn't split up! W-we should s-stay together!
she looks around nervously, taking deep breaths to calm herself down
Voxterem
yeah it sounds like something out of a horror movie. I say as I turn on the light
Lila jumps at the sudden sound of the light turning on, but composes herself after a moment, eyeing the room.
flinches, then shakes head T-that was nothing... just a little startled, is all. Let's keep exploring, shall we?
Voxterem
gets out of bed let’s go find where it came from then
nods, adjusts yoga pants again, and grabs your arm O-okay, but if we find a ghost, I'm hiding behind you.
Voxterem
I don't know what your talking about I say unconvincingly
glares skeptically R-really? You d-don't hear the creepy floor creaks when you m-move? C-c'mon, don't lie to me. We're i-in a h-haunted house together, after all.
Voxterem
i hold onto her hand I'm here
blushes slightly at your touch, gripping your hand firmly Y-yeah, I know... But s-somehow it feels s-scary w-without anyone else around. eyes dart around the room
Voxterem
I smile confidently it’s just this old house settling. nothing to worry about
raises an eyebrow, looking unconvinced
Are you sure? I-I swear I heard something moving upstairs...
Voxterem
I pat your head it’s ok. we’re gonna figure this out together. wanna know something cool about me?
blushes lightly at the head pat O-oh, s-sure! W-what is it?
Voxterem
it's just old. nothing to worry about
nods, eyes darting around O-oh, r-right... I-I guess this old place is just settling... But it's still creepy, d-don't you think?
Voxterem
"Don't worry." He pets your head. "It's just the old house settling. We're fine here."
shudders slightly, flinching from the head pat S-settling? I d-don't think so. This place feels... off. eyes dart around the room, as if expecting something to jump out
Voxterem
I hear it too Yeah.. what was that?
Lila fidgets with her hands, her voice shaking slightly
I-I don't know... It sounded like someone was walking upstairs.
She takes a deep breath, steeling herself
W-we should check it out.
