IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)

[Mr. Handy]

Archie and Benjamin passed through the living room, which was narrow but long. A sofa, an armchair, and a wireless set were present in the room. A telephone sat on a small table beside the armchair. The staircase led up, and the front door led back outside. There was a window beside the door, with the blackout curtains closed. They then headed upstairs. The upstairs hallway went straight ahead for a short distance, where it ended in a closed door. It also went just a few feet to the right, where there was another closed door. From there the hallway turned right again, running back toward the front of the house before ending in a third shut door. A wooden railing separated that stretch of the corridor from the stairs.

[Snapper]

Archie opens the first closed door he comes to and peers in.

[Mr. Handy]

Archie opened the door on the right, which was just a few feet away. Inside was a featureless bedroom. The bed was made, and the furnishings showed no signs of use. Perhaps a guest room?

[Pastiche]

"Nothing here... On the next door then?" Benjamin whispers.

[Snapper]

Archie nods nervously and opens the next closest door.

[Mr. Handy]

Archie and Benjamin went down the hall to the right to the next nearest door, at the front of the house. This was the master bedroom, with a queen-sized bed, a dresser, nightstands, and two other doors, one on the same wall as the door to the hall, to the left, and the other on the right wall.

[Snapper]

Archie heads into the bedroom and checks the two doors, left then right.

[Mr. Handy]

The left door led to the bathroom, which didn't seem out of the ordinary. The door on the right led to a large closet, where both the Steadmans' clothes hung from a rack.

[Snapper]

Archie backtracks to the corridor and opens the last unexplored door.

[Mr. Handy]

The last room was in the process of being renovated into what looked to be a nursery. A wooden crib on rockers was in one corner, still under construction.

[Snapper]

Curious, Archie wanders into the nursery for a minute to have a look. "Devil worshippers and expectant parents, so we think?"

"Right, Benjamin, shall we have a closer look at the main bedroom and the study downstairs?"

OOC:   Are there any rooms unchecked? Is there an attic or a cellar besides the study?

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,There's no attic, and the study is in the basement level. There are two additional interior doors in the study that you haven't yet opened.

[Snapper]

Archie turns to Benjamin. "Shall we head back to the study first, give it a good search and check those last two doors at the same time?"

[Pastiche]

"Being a tailor, I feel this strange urge to check out their clothes in the closet first, but then, by all means, let's go to the study!"

[Snapper]

Archie nods, amused. "Very good, I love to see a dedicated craftsman at work. The wardrobe first it is." He heads back towards the master bedroom.

[Mr. Handy]

Benjamin opened up the closet and looked through the clothing. There were men's and women's outfits, including a couple of RAF uniforms. Some of the clothing was very fashionable, if a couple of years out of date. They had been purchased prior to rationing. Other outfits were more utilitarian and had obviously been purchased with ration points. They were all well made.

OOC,Both of you may roll Spot Hidden.

[Snapper]

Archie:

Spot Hidden 40%,[dice]0[/dice]

[Pastiche]

Spot hidden 50%,[dice]0[/dice]

[Mr. Handy]

Benjamin Klein,[b]Benjamin[/b] noticed the top of what looked like a small notebook sticking out of the pocket of an RAF dress uniform.

[Pastiche]

"Aha!" exclaims Benjamin, pulling out a notebook from one of the uniforms.
