IC Scene 9 - The House Part 2
Monday, March 13, 1922
8:30PM
Providence, Rhode Island
As you wander the house, there is a most unexpected knock on the door. Who could it be at this hour?

Dan Marrison
Dan tilts his head as he hears the knock. He was going to inquire to Pearl what her impressions of the painting were but that would have to wait. Turning about, he takes a few steps to close to the door that he had just entered only a few minutes ago from his rounds outside. He opened it curiously and peered out. "Hello?" he inquired as the door came open.

Karl Werner
Karl looks up from the fireplace where he has just ignited some crumpled newspapers under a few twigs and bits of wood. He's gratified that the fire-starting skills he learned traveling out West have stood him in good stead. Until, that is, the smoke begins curling back into the room, causing him to retreat, coughing heavily.

Andrew squints to see through the doorway. "Hello, I'm Mr.Greenwood. Are you the new owners of this house?"

"Hello Mr. Greenwood. I'm Dan Marrison," Dan says with a curt nod. He is slightly distracted by Karl's coughing and turns about to notice the smoke from the fireplace entering the room. "For goodness sakes, Karl. The flue... make sure it's open!"
Turning his attention once again to the visitor, Dan says "Owners? Oh no. Sorry. We're more like renters... short term stay. Is there something I can do for you?"

Andrew chuckles. "I guess short term is the only way he rents this old place. Forgive my late night intrusion. I was just curious, you see. I started to think nobody was going to move in here."

Calum:
From the sounds of pottering about, cabinets opening and shutting, and floorboards creaking, Calum is clearly still map-making (or something) upstairs.

Karl Werner
Coughing and wheezing, handkerchief over his mouth, Karl manages to open the flue. As the chimney starts to draw he retreats from the fireplace, flapping his handkerchief. He approaches the visitor.
"I'm Karl Werner. Are you a neighbor? How long have you resided here?"

"Yeah, come on in," Dan says backing up from the entranceway. "I'll put on some coffee, or tea if you'd rather. We can talk for a while. If you're local, you might be able to answer some questions for us."

"I've been living here a few buildings down the road for about ten years now Mr. Werner, pleased to make your acquaintance," Andrew says as he steps into the house. He turns to Dan and replies, "Coffee will be fine, thank you. Exactly what would you like to know?"

Dan Marrison
As Dan heads into the kitchen and roots around in the packed store-bought belongings he'd stashed away in there earlier, he raises his voice so as to be heard by those still nearer the entranceway, "Well, for starters, how well did you know the people who lived here last? Mr. and Mrs. Macario?"

You enter the living room to find Pearl staring blankly at the weird painting on the wall. Her eyes are glazed and it seems she hasn't moved for some time.

"Well it was a family of four. They had two boys. It's been quite a while..." Andrew looks around while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "The had this odd look in their eyes, the parents did. Like they rarely slept. I always thought they just had a handful raising two children. That was until I heard tale that the parents were in an asylum.
Andrew joins Peal in looking at the painting.

"That's kind of why we're here," Dan confides as he tries the sink faucet for the first time. "The owner of the house wanted to see if we could find the pests that were troubling his last tenants."

Andrew looks to the painting. You see him go a bit pale and he looks away after a few seconds. His legs are a bit wobbly now. Pearl hasn't moved the whole time.

Dan asks Andrew, "Have you heard anything strange around here? Animal noises perhaps?" He looks up from the coffee pot that he's just set on the stove to notice Andrew has lost a shade or two of tone to his skin, "Are you feeling alright?"

Andrew quickly looks away from the painting and back to Dan. "Oh, I'm fine. I've never heard any strange noises around here."

Karl Werner
Karl approaches Pearl, putting a hand on her shoulder and taking his flashlight from her hand.
"I'll take this back for now, Miss Wealstone. And do you have my..." he glances at the stranger, "My... medicine! Yes, I must have my medicine back, if you don't mind."

"Too bad," responded Dan to Andrew, almost seeming disappointed by the news. "The last residents were apparently afraid of something from the outside. All the windows had been nailed shut. The doors overly secured with extra deadbolts. We really should go take a look see down in the cellar. Care to come with while the coffee brews?"

As Karl put's a hand on Pearl's shoulder, she topples to the ground like an empty sack. You manage to catch her.
OOC: the door to the cellar was not nailed shut. the stairs are just in bad condition and the light doesn't work.
