IC: Ch 3. The Woods House

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

Charles,It appears to be a LOT of crows in the trees nearby looking at you.
.
As you walk towards the front door a young boy of perhaps 11 or 12 is coming out. "Oh can I help you with those mister?"
.
Charles ooc,just put the name of the button first and then put a comma, everything else goes inside the button. I'll edit your post so you can then edit and see what it looks like. I'll be adding test, to it.

"Thank you, laddie," says Eddie, handing over his suitcase to the boy.

"I'm sure the rest of my party will be here soon. They must be stretching their legs and enjoying the sun," Alyssa replying to Angela's question.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

Scott eyes the crows suspiciously and leans in towards Eddie as they approach the front door.

"Birds?" he asks, "Or are we being staked out?"

Eddie follows Scott's glance with his eyes. "You're right, I hadn't noticed," he says. "It wouldn't surprise me. I'll never look at birds the same way again."

Charles looks at the birds and feels the uncomfortable feeling filling him up again. The stress from the possibility of these being both "spy's" and flying creatures makes him feel like the air grows thin. He sees Eddie and Scott talking and pointing to them and nods in their direction and back to the birds. With the sudden panic feeling he doesn't get out much more than that.

The boy takes your bags and walks into the house. "They are all here Miss Allen".

Norman follows the boy inside the house, wanting to get as far away from the birds gaze as possible.

Travelling bag in hand, I follow everyones gaze towards the crows. I frown, memories of the dead crow by the pond - Phil?
I stop walking, bend and pick up a stone. With a grunt of effort I shy the stone towards the crow infested tree,
Warren thinking:   Yeah [b]Phil[/b] it's me [b]Warren[/b], and I'm coming for you

Charles shakes his head in an effort to regain his nerve after witnessing the crows and follows the others into the house.

The rest of you walk into the house. Eddie is a bit surprised there is no desk. If you didn't know better you would think it was just a residential home. You see a very young girl, around 20 years old, standing there. "Welcome gentlemen, I hope you enjoy your time at the Woods House."

Alyssa gets up from her seat and smiles politely, "I'm afraid to say, though may you show us our rooms? We're quite eager to see the rest of the day please."
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

"Absolutely. Right this way," Angela says as she leads you up the stairs, "Ms. Patton was kind enough to book the entire house for a whole week. There are enough rooms for everyone, unless you would like to share." She blushes slightly. "Your room includes 3 meals a day, so if you don't plan to make it back for a meal, please let us know so we don't waste." She leads you up to the bedrooms at the 2nd and 3rd floors. Nicely furnished
"Just let me know if you need anything. My room is downstairs, but you will usually find me in the kitchen." She smiles to walk away, "Good day." she says before turning to go.

Richard follows the others in listening to the conversations. He notices the ring on the girls finger and stares at it a moment thinking to himself. After she answers Warren, Richard politely ask Miss Allen "You have a wonderfull property here Miss Allen, Miss Patton always knows of the best places for us for our travels, has she put anyone up here before?"
Ben,I am curious if the ruby ring reminds me of anything that would be of an occult back ground or something that would appeal to my mother the gypsie.

"Miss Allen, do you know where we could find a map of Rockport?" asks Eddie as he follows her upstairs.
