Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
"Fire!" Dorothy shouts. "We've got to get Emilia out of here! Help me drag her outside," she says to Judith.
Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
When Dorothy shouts, Sean rushes back into the kitchen to help carry Emilia outside.

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Alister Sergeant
Weirdly, Alister is relieved that there is "just" some fire raging in the other room, and not a sentient ball lightning. This is something he can probably deal with. He looks into the room to see what exactly is burning. If it's only the drapes and they aren't burning heavily, he runs in, tears them down, throws them on the floor, and starts stomping them.

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Despite Dorothy's warning shout Judith freezes, caught between escaping the fire and encountering the deadly light she saw outside...
Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
The cottage interior erupts into noise and action as Keiffer and Alister rush into the living room and attempt to stop the fire from taking hold and spreading around the room. Luckily the drapes are a few seconds from open flame and it is a relatively easy task to rip them from the window and quickly stomp the embers. As he helps pull the smoking material from its pole, Alister notices something on the window frame itself, it looks like recently scorched paint as something incredibly hot had been close to the frame. Hotter than the burning drapes it is localized to a couple of feet near the bottom left of the window frame. Oblivious to this Keiffer continues his wild stomping making sure that no ember remains to spring to life.
At Dorothy’s shout Sean spins on his heels and rushes back to the kitchen to aid her in dragging the still unconscious Emilia towards the backdoor. As he does so he notes that both Dorothy and Judith look panicked. With Judith almost frozen in place as she looks pale faced, eyes filled with terror at the back door…

Kieffer beats and stomps the drapes until he is sure that the fire is out. He shudders with relief. Taking out his handkerchief, he wipes the sweat from his eyes.

Alister checks the condition of the window glass.

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
“So it is” says Kieffer, peering at the spot indicated by Alister. “How could this have happened?”
He grabs Alister by the arm. “We need to start figuring out what’s going on here. Why are those people dead? What’s doing this? We need to talk to the girl, Emilia. She might know something. Are you with me?”

He heads back to the previous room.

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
"Hear what?" Dorothy is confused by Judith's words. "Come on, lady, snap out of it! This place could burn to the ground!"
Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
OOC: The following occurs in the moments before Alister and Keiffer return to the kitchen. |
Judith listens intently to a small scratching sound that seems to emanate from the stove, a sound not unlike the furtive movements of some small animal, or the slithering of a snake perhaps…

"There's something moving inside the stove," Judith whispers.
Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Now you can all hear it…Something is moving, crawling, sliding down the flu to the stove. The sound makes your skin crawl in anticipation, goose bumps rise all over your arms and cold shivers run down your spines…

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Dorothy can feel the hairs on the back of her neck rise. "I don't care what kind of critter is stuck in the stove, I've just got the feeling it's not friendly. Let's get out of here."
Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Kieffer returns to the others.
"There was a fire starting in the living room" he tells them, "but we took care of it. God knows how it..."
He trails off when he sees their frightened faces. "What is it?" he asks.
Then he too hears the noise...

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Sean quickly looks to see if there's any way he can jam the stove door shut, perhaps by sticking an object through the handle.

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
Sean quickly finds something to push into the handle of the stove and prevent it from opening. As he does so he can feel a tremendous heat radiating from the flu pipe It seems to be moving down towards the stove itself at speed, As it moves Sean can feel the heat rising fast, the black heat resistant coating of the flu is bubbling as it liquefies…
Dorothy takes a step towards the back door, her intended target, Ice cold fear making her legs seem ready to betray her at any moment. With Sean having released Emilia, Dorothy feels the full dead weight of the woman…
Keiffer, having rushed in from the living room, goes pale faced as he hears the noise from the flu. He halts as Sean thrusts a ladle through the door handle of the kitchen stove, even from here he can trace the movement of something incredibly hot within the flu…
White faced Judith looks on, her face awash with indecision, does she run or stay? While from the hallway outside the kitchen fast footsteps would seem to announce the imminent arrival of Alister and Maynard…
At this precise moment Emilia's eyes flutter open, first filled with confusion, they widen as realisation begins to hit home, "What? Who?...Where's Grandfather? The box...The Light"

Re: 2, Greeenapple Acre Cottage
At the mention of ‘the box’, Kieffer runs back to the living room and picks up the mysterious box from the floor. Did the thing in the flue come from the box? Perhaps it can be trapped inside. He dashes back to the kitchen.
