"Nope! I have no idea where we are!" Floyd grinned, spinning around
to catch Laura in a crushing bear hug just to prove that he was
indeed real. To be honest, Floyd wasn't good at reading the
atmosphere so the oppressive spooky vibes the whole house was
radiating didn't affect him very much. "Aww little blondie is
scared~~?" he cooed, grinning widely. "that so cute! come on, this
is fun! loosen up!"
Within an instant Meisto had her blade right under Laura’s chin, an
emotionless look in her eyes. “Who said I was friendly...?”
she asked. In a few moments she stuffed her dagger into her pocket
and laughed. “Just kidding!” She began to make that exaggerated
thinking face again. “So you don’t know anything about this place?
Of course this place is dangerous! How do you think we got like
this?”
The lady at the counter finally moved, gesturing her hand for Miko
and Ryssu to come over. “Miko and Ryssu sweetie, would you come
here for a sec?” She said in a near robotic voice
Ryssu muttered. "Aww...why didn't you kill 'er?" It was barely
audible, as she and Miko followed the instructions and walked up to
the lady at the counter. Ryssu loved horror films, it was part of
the reason she'd gone searching for this stupid hotel in the first
place.
"Ack!" Laura slightly startled as he opened his hands,only to be
relieved that it was going to be a hug. Wait...a hug? Laura was as
red as a tomato from the sheer embarrassment she felt but she
reluctantly hugged him back. "Y-yeah...I'm scared..." she replied
blushing . Her face was buried in Floyd's embrace but she could
feel something pointing towards her which caused her to shake. She
glared at Rysso and started shaking even more.
While Laura and Floyd were doing their thing, Meisto made her way
over to Ryssu, upside down like she was hanging from the ceiling.
“Because it wouldn’t be fun to kill them immediately... You gotta
get all the fun outta them before you do that...” She didn’t have a
liking to the spirits or very rare humans that killed on the spot.
Why would they do that when you could get all the enjoyment out of
them as you can? It’s like throwing away a fruit with a tiny bad
spot, not even taking a single bite. “Now go on! Make your way over
to her!” She said with a grin.
The lady greeted Miko with a smile as she arrived. “I wanted to say
a few things to you, words of advice even.” She said plainly. “But
how about we wait for your friend? I wouldn’t want to leave her out
on this.”
To be honest, Floyd did not expect Laura to hug back. He was used
to people attempting to wriggle out of his hugs, not return them.
There was a minute of blessed silence where Floyd opened and closed
his mouth like a fish on land. When he finally found his voice
again, it came out as a coo. "Oh that's adorable, little blondie
you're too cute, I could just eat you right up!"
Taking a moment to think, Floyd eventually came to the conclusion
that this place indeed had the potential to kill one of them but he
didn't find himself minding very much. Variety was the spice of
life as they said, and Floyd certainly stood by that saying. New
and exciting experiences were always welcome to him and the chance
to explore a potentially deadly mansion was too good of an
opportunity to pass up.
Ryssu walked up to the desk as well, mildly curious to what she had
to say. Honestly she hated to be interrupted from her exploring of
a literal haunted mansion. She gave the lady at the counter a look.
"Yeah?"
"How can you say that?! Are you sure you're not a ghost?" Laura
asked as she kept tapping various places on his upper body and
looking behind him and whatnot. She let go of her arms but didn't
attempt to break out of his hug,seeing as she was most likely too
weak to do so. She wasn't in her top physical form either since she
hadn't eaten in a very long while. "My name's Laura...by the
way..." she said while looking away. At least he was complimenting
her,which she felt good about and would boast about it had she not
been scared to death.
“I don’t recommend trying to snoop around the hotel. Some spirits
hide themselves and will attack their finders. I also wouldn’t
recommend not directly talking to anyone. It could potentially make
you vulnerable to anything, and we wouldn’t want that!” She gave
another smile. “Well... The owner will be here soon, so please be
ready. I wouldn’t get on his bad side unless you want hell.” She
stood up straight again and gestured them off. “I will always be
right here for any questions you need!”
Ryssu backed away. Ominous... She thought, and waved. She
wanted to be seperated from this Miko twerp, so she was quick in
speedwalking away, passing by the other two strangers. "Well, I am
not sitting in a room all day." She muttered, going to explore the
place. ....Maybe with a little added caution...
"Thank you kind lady!" Laura exclaimed as she waved her hands up
and down,somewhat slowly. He voice was a tad bit suppressed by
Floyd's body but still could be heard. She couldn't see Ryssu walk
away but she could hear footsteps get more faint by each step "
Didn't she just tell us to not wander off?"
she thought to herself. She somewhat panicked upon hearing that the
owner will come soon,as she was in a somewhat awkward situation
with Floyd.
"100% real and made of flesh! I don't mind if you try and cut me
open to see if I'm telling the truth." Floyd grinned, patting
Laura's head. Was he being a little bit morbid? Yes, but he didn't
mind. Whatever could get the little blondie feeling more relaxed
would be worth it anyways. "I guess we're sticking together then!
Let's follow panda eyes~" Releasing Laura from his hug, he ran
after Ryssu with a grin
“Yup! That dirtbag is comin...” Meitso muttered as she stood
upright next to the door-shaped mural. “And I’m gonna get out of
here before he does!” She grinned as she was about to walk away,
but she stopped herself. “Say... You guys wanna get outta here,
right? Well then how about I make you a deal...” she said
maliciously.
After getting re-dressed, Yoshitiro slowly walked over to the
microphone one last time and said, “The owner will arrive in 5
minutes. Please prepare yourself and get situated...”
Ryssu walked out of the area, and down the halls, not aware of
anyone following her. So far, no spirits, just a normal hotel.
Disappointed, she turned around, remembering she'd been an idiot
and was supposed to wait for the owner...sounds fun. Pivoting on
her heal, she slowly walked back, now convinced that this may be a
dream and she was wasting her time.
Laura sighed in relief that Floyd had released her. "Wait..a deal?
Does that mean that you can get us out of here?- Wait! Where are
you going?!? Come back! You have to make a good first impression
for when the owner of this damned hotel arrives!" she shouted as
her attention was cut short and started running after Floyd,since
he was the one closer. Deep down she hoped that Meitso had some
sort of plan.
After hearing the announcement, Meitso giggled and watched as Floyd
and Ryssu ran off. “No one’s takin the offer? Well then... Adios!”
She waved them goodbye as she began to fade away. What she was
really going to do was go see the owner before he made his way down
here, even though she was avoiding him. “Helloooooo~” she called to
him as she stood in the doorway.
Tazuli made her way to the front desk after some time of wandering
around the hotel and somehow didn’t get attacked by any spirits
there, she noticed Meisto who’s the same sprit she saw before,
didn’t expect to see her again and expected by everyone else
“wait the owner? Maybe we can ask him why the hell he brought us
here” she muttered before noticing the others, guess there’s a lot
of other people that was brought here
"Awww, going back already. Booo boring. Panda eyes is boooring."
Floyd stuck out his tongue at Ryssu came back around the corner. He
didn't complain any further though and dragged skipped back towards
the lobby, nearly colliding with Laura in the process. "Little
Blondie! Awww, you came running after me? how cute!" He cooed,
feeling the urge to sweep her up in a hug again but held himself
back from doing so for the time being. He wanted to see who the big
boss was first
"Panda eyes?" Was that a nickname? Wait, wut? Not that she minded,
she just had no idea why.... she went back to the front desk,
slowly as Floyd ran back. Okay then... She slowly wandered back to
the front desk area to wait for this mysterious owner guy....
"I don't wanna get lost in here,not with murderous ghosts as the
lady said at least.... The friendly ghost probably knows how to
esca-" She couldn't believe her eyes. Meitso was gone. "Oi,where'd
the ghost go? she asked the lady behind the counter. "You run off
the worst possible moment!" she quietly yelled at him. For some
reason however,with all that chasing and whatnot,she started to
feel comfortable around him.
yes i used quietly and yelled in the same sentence
