Dorian waited for an answer from his friends, but most of what he heard was Gideon on the kitchen pacing around like a bull as she wished for the ghost to do anything. Which…was a typical interaction within this game depending on the ghost. But it was also almost always the last words spoken before shit began to go sideways and haunts began to start. He hadn't heard the footsteps coming from above, focusing more on his teammates than his surroundings as he worried about what to do next. He promised he'd protect Sabine. He [i]had[/i] to protect Sabine. She'd voiced her opinion and he was inclined to leave it at that, that is until she mentioned the sound from upstairs. They needed evidence and fast, Gideon was losing them precious time with her antics and Mary Sue's idea wasn't half bad. What Dorian needed was a way to fuse what Sabine wanted and what Mary Sue had suggested. 

His eyes darted between their hands, the room, and the items laid about. Piecing together things like he was the Miraculous Lady Bug before he finally thought of something that reduced the risks to just himself. [Color=CC99FF]”OK ‘ere's t'e plan. If t'is t’ing is linked to t’e ghost and it lures it in t'en I say we use it to get as much information as we can while it is driven away from Gideon. Beanie you got the cross, if a ‘unt starts you place t’at between us and t’e ghost,  it will keep us from dyin’ Mary Sue, keep the EMF on at all times and we monitor what number it's at and the ‘ighest it goes to durin’ all t'is. Afterwards we scan with UV for any fingerprints and check salt for footprints. Stay behind me at all times you got it? Don't be a ‘ero.”[/color] Dorian would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid of what might happen. Excited, thrilled, but terrified all the same. He reached forward to grab the music box, standing before Sabine and Mary Sue with his back turned to them and facing the door with a salt line. He took a deep breath and began to play the music box. 

The eerie song rang out from the metal disk inside of it (all music box music was eerie regardless of song especially when it slowed down) and for a moment that was all he could hear amongst the silence. Then…the worst happened. He felt a mental drain on himself, he couldn't quite describe the feeling, but it didn't feel right. The flashlights began to flicker off and on, their shadows dancing amongst the intervals of lights, and Dorian's eyes went wide. [Color=CC99FF]”It's a hunt…it's a cursed hunt! Keep the cross ready and be ready to use it. Stay. Behind. Me.”[/color] Dorian took another step forward, enough to be within the saving grace of a cross if needed but far enough forward that hopefully the ghost would go for him before the other two.
