[quote=Simon]" Um hello there, can you tell me your name and what happened here since my friend here ~shoots a backwards glance at Yurei~ says that this is her house"[/quote]

Yurei scrabbled her foot on the porch, and only waited a few seconds before she boldly pushed Simon out of the way. "You're too [i]nice[/i], boy!" she griped. "You don't play [i]nice[/i] with the intruders! What if he's a kith? He could have your eyeballs out," she snapped her gnarled fingers in Simon's face, "like that!" She smacked him behind the head and stomped her way into the room.

She shuffled up to the edge of the table, and she stopped, her lined face going pale. She sniffed the air, and she listened. "The blood-rat . . ." she whispered in horror. "No, no, no, no!" In a flurry she rounded the table, knocked over a few pans and a half-eaten sandwich, set the jellyfish swinging from the ceiling, and she grabbed the cage with both hands. "Squeaky! Squeaky!" She rounded in a fury and smacked the table. "What happened? WHAT DID YOU DO." She kicked under the table, upsetting the lantern with a clatter. "That rat is the catalyst of every protection spell in a three-mile radius! We're about to be [i]eaten![/i] Get out so I can slaughter you properly before the trees do it for me!"

Outside, there was a sharp CRACK of stone breaking. Bats screeched. Something was moving under the floor. Something else was scrabbling on the roof. Yurei had picked up a frying pan and menaced Arin with it, with an expression of fearless animosity.
