Mansion in the Woods

[l u c i d `]

"Your mother," came Izzy's scoff as she stuck out her tongue at Akina. She caught her cousins gaze, wrinkling her nose in distaste at the cancerous stick and saying as she did so, "Those are bad for you." there was a moments pause as the small girl glanced around curiously.

"What now? My cell phone is pretty much dead."

[Lunar Tragedy]

The girl stuck her tongue out, immediately backing away in disgust as the cigarette was mentioned. Akina had a strong distaste for smoking, and were it not for the fact Charlie was such a good friend, she'd probably harass her about the habit endlessly. Instead, she simply glared for a moment and then looked over at Izzy.

"So, what shall we do, O genius ones?" She paused, glancing back toward the vehicle. "I hate to be negative, but I don't believe that we're getting out of here via those wheels... Unless you can pull the van out of the ditch using your super strength?"

With just a casual glance at the thin, fragile looking frame Izzy had, it was easy to see how thick Akina's sarcasm was. She sighed, leaning her head against a nearby tree.

Trees. There were so many of them, Akina noticed as her sapphire gaze passively surveyed her surroundings. As she stared upward, the only repreve from the sight of limbs against darkened sky was the outline of a large building - a mansion, it appeared. The girl tilted her head to the side, staring more intently as she stepped closer. "What the...."

[l u c i d `]

Izzy just wrinkled her nose, giving no response to Akina, agitated by her attitude but all too used to it. She caught her cousins gaze, giving Charlie a thumbs up, as if to say "nice driving!", before spinning around to see what Akina was looking at.

"Oh no," she said suddenly. "We can't go in there. Rocky Horror Picture Show, much?! Haven't you ever seen that?! We'll go in, get seduced by a transvestite, then end up dead or something!" she waved her hands in the air.

[Lunar Tragedy]

Akina smirked, supressing a giggle at Izzy's remark. She had seen the movie and in fact remembered most of the songs. Admittedly, this situation did seem awfully similiar to the plotline of the film.... Transvestite seduction didn't seem half bad, though, in comparison to the prospect of wondering around aimlessly in the woods for hours.

"If it starts raining, I'm totally busting out in song, guys." To emphasize her point, she ended the statement by humming the tune to 'There's a light'.

[l u c i d `]

Izzy giggled quietly as Akina began to hum, saying lightly, "Now, there just needs to be a light." she pushed her hair off her shoulders, stiff joints popping in protest.

"Unfortunately.." she sighed, as if it pained her to even think about it, "I don't see any other alternative. It seems we'll have to be seduced by a transvestite to get to a phone. Unless you two have anything?" she raised a slender brow as she looked to Akina then to Charlie.

"Maybe if I become a-sexual, the said transvestite will leave me alone," she mused aloud.

[Egyptian Myth]

The corvid, still in the tree a few yards away, tilted its head, listening.
Something along the lines of 'what the hell' darted through his mind; whether his brother heard it he cared not.
Shaking itself, the bird sighed, then gave a brief caw that abruptly echoed into the night's silence. After doing so the crow crouched, spreading black-plumed wings and pushing off into the air, now making its way between the trees towards the mansion.

[NightmareLullaby]

Charlie smiled and grabbed her lighter once more.
"There's a light..." she sang softly, her bell-like voice chiming an octave too high
She took another long drawl from the cigarette and, sensing the others distaste for her bad habits, threw the butt to the ground and stomped it out.
"Well," she looked around, the darkness surrounding them seemed to loom closer, "Tim Curry, here I come."
Charlie started off, her boots crunching against leaves and the occasional rock as she marched to the masion. It looked ominous with it's dark tinted windows, or was it the sharpness of the edges of every angle. Even though she was moving toward the mansion it seemed like she was getting further away. She stopped abruptly.
"Guys...hurry up." she said, momentarily forgetting she was afraid of the dark

[l u c i d `]

Izzy drew in a quiet sharp breath. Going to a strangers house in this day and age? And a house nestled in a black forest, no less. Her spidey senses were tingling and her nerves were all ready set on edge. Perhaps it was the cold.. She let out a long sigh and it hung in the air like a spirt looming before her before she chased after Charlie, bringing Akina with her.

"I'd rather have Eddie Izzard," she remarked, trying to shake off the feeling of paranoia.
