Re: 5. The Cooper House
Vanessa Volker stops at Hippo’s remark and looks at him holding his makeshift club. For a moment his memory swims as if trying to grasp something not quite graspable, there is something about the woman’s smile.
“Excuse me? I am assuming that Miss Cartwright is in charge here, after all it was she who contacted me initially”.

"Yeah well, she seems to have wandered off. We had a little off road incident with out van."
"Your place is full of bugs. Got this wood here to mash 'em up." he adds.

"Have we met before, Vanessa? I would normally remember meeting such a pretty lady, but these last few days have been hell on my memory."

"She's probably inside the house," says Gracie.

Re: 5. The Cooper House
Vanessa Volker pauses momentarilly and smiles at Rutiger, “No I do not think I’ve had the pleasure Mr...? If we had met before I’m sure I would remember such a fine well dressed gentleman”
With that she passes through the front door to the shadowed hallway beyond.

Re: 5. The Cooper House
Gracie looks inside through the open door to see what she does, but she doesn't venture back in herself yet.

Karl gestures frantically to the others. "She's trouble." he whispers. "She's the cause of this, I'm sure. I remember being here with her before. We need to do something quick!"
"Hippo, knock her over the head or something!"
"Rutiger, you got any pebbles left?"
Karl is getting desperate.

Re: 5. The Cooper House
Unaware of Karl’s antics behind her back, Vanessa moves through the hallway towards the stairs. At the foot she halts and looks upward, eyes narrowing to see through the gloom, “So is someone going to tell me what’s going on and what you’re all doing here?”
Even through the shadows you can see she is a very attractive female about five five and probably in her early thirties. Her hair, worn long, is a mousey-fair colour and she wears a smart buisness suit of a relatively modern cut, you would imagine that it cost a pretty penny. She is smiling a charming smile at Stephen a couple of steps up. “Perhaps you might be able to tell me what’s going on, where Miss Cartwright might be found and just what the woman ouside the door said about someone being inside?”
Todd,probably unaware of the situation downstairs continue towards the door through which the tramp had stepped prior to his grisly fate. As he reaches the remains he takes care to step over the torn carcass, nothing stirs as he does so it appears that whatever it was that burst from within him has gone. The corpse, although disgustingly torn apart, is still, unmoving.
He reaches the door and pushes it fully open...

OOC: There is nothing about Vanessa Volker that triggers any memories and she really doesn’t look dangerous. Karl’s warnings appear a little too paranoid. |

Re: 5. The Cooper House
"What?!" says Gracie, shocked. "We can't bop her over the head, that's ridiculous. If you want to distract her, how about giving her a call on her cell phone and disguising your voice, then get her to go somewhere else or something."

If we were here yesterday then was this guy here too? Todd wonders, looking around the room. He peeks inside the haversack...

Rutiger Paddington
"Paddington. Rutiger Paddington." I say, doing my best James Bond impression while I brush my hair back.
"I still have pebbles, but let's wait a little bit before we antagonize her. She might be on our side." I whisper.
I carefully follow the group inside the house, staying at the back.

Re: 5. The Cooper House
Gracie ventures back inside the house, now that others are going in too.

Karl Anderson
Are these people insane?!? Karl is sure this woman was here with them yesterday. She must know what happened. Unless she's lost her memory too? Though she looked too composed..
He looks around for a handy brick or stone and follows the rest inside. He's not letting this Volker woman out of his sight.

Re: 5. The Cooper House
For a moment Vanessa stares at Stephen, her smile seemingly frozen on her face. Then the smile widens as if awareness suddenly sinks in, “Oh you’re joking”. She pats a pocket as if checking for something, “I have the only set of keys, and the house is kept locked and boarded. So no-one is inside, unless they broke in of course” She pauses, considering, “Anyway how did you gain access?”

Todd Guzman
In mounting horror Todd reads the account of the man then hurries back down the stairs to rejoin the others. "That man who just got eaten from the inside by bugs - he was here before and lost his memory then came back looking for answers like us. What if the same thing happens to us, the things moving inside our guts... We need to find answers fast." He stops, noticing the new arrival. "Miss Volker, I presume? What happened here yesterday?"

Re: 5. The Cooper House
"Bugs inside him!" cries Gracie, clutching her stomach as she remembers her nightmare. "We all need to get to the hospital and get checked out, fast!"
