[IC] We're All Going To Die! (Cycle 1)

[racial ghoul]

As Brenner looks outside, he notices the surrounding slowly becoming dark. At the visible horizon, the sun is starting to set.

A little after this, you all hear the bells of the church ring, a total of thirteen times. As you settle in your bedrooms, some of you start to feel hungry, some more so than others. Outside your rooms, you hear creaking wood under the steps of a heavy person, walking to the bathroom at the end of the hall.

@CamerchOn the way to the room, William's stomach growls softly. "Damn. I should've eaten the plane food when I had the chance. Hey, Emmett. Are you hungry too?"

[Rogue Colm]

Cecelia gets settled in and pulls out her bag of mixed candies. Having thought after downing a handful, Cecelia asks "either of you want some trail mix?" Offering the bag to her grandpa and Lane.

[Phantomlink959]

"Can't hurt" he accepts, taking a handful as he stares warily at the door "Did those steps sound weird to either of you?" Brenner inquires, taking a look around the room to see if any stray items ha been left lying around

[Castle]

[color=ec008c]"I'm happy with floor, you can have the bed uh what was your name again?"[\color] Lane replied looking around the room. This place still gave her the creeps, like the boogie man or something would jump out and eat her. "No thanks, so what brings you both on this trip?" Lane asked trying to start a conversation up with her room mates for the night.

[Phantomlink959]

"I slept on the plane, don't do well in unsecured rooms in the middle of nowhere." Brenner says "Brenner Silversmith, retired something-or-other."

[Camerch]

@fer1323"Yeah, I'm a little hungry." That was a lie. He was starving. "I've got some soup in my pack if you need some."

He takes off his backpack and rummages through it, looking for the cans of soup at the bottom. "I gotta warn you, though, it's edible, but it's not toasty warm, so you might want to find a kettle...ah, found it!"

Out of his backpack, he pulls one battered can of Campbell's Tomato Soup.

[Phantomlink959]

@Rogue Colm"Why were we out here? I know it was some sort of educational thing, but you never told me the details."

[Rogue Colm]

"It's studying abroad. This was the only one that correlated with my major."

[Phantomlink959]

"That was it." the older man acknowledges, snapping his fingers for dramatic effect. Brenner examines the window from closely a moment then begins to make his way around the room, closely observing every item they did not bring with them "No signal interference out here you know." he states "If anyone wanted to spy on these rooms they could do it with an electromagnetic probe" the man raves, checking underneath a lamp for something "Be the perfect place for an ambush, small town like this? be destroyed overnight by a freak forest fire and nothing could be done to prove it was anything other than a tragedy." he laughs crazily "Or not, hard to say for sure." he tacks on to the end, ceasing his paranoid babbling and returning to his normal behavior "Anybody got a pen?"

A few minutes pass, and the heavy steps walk back along the hallway, and then fades as they walk down the stairs. The sun has fully set, and thankfully the rooms has lighting, a weak, overhead bulb and a pair of lamps each.

You start to hear noises from outside, which are more pronounced in Emmett and William's room, as they were closer to its source, the fields. The noises are those of steel and stone, hitting dirt. Some rattling. Grunts and moans of labor. It sends you the image of people working the farm fields, though it was nighttime.

[fer1323]

@Camerch"Thanks. I do not mind cold soup. Some food is better cold." Says William "If you pass it to me, I will open it." William pulls out his swiss army knife from his shoe. William says "I am not going to sleep with this noise."

[Camerch]

Emmett pulls his own knife out and starts cutting open the can top. He talks as he works. "I personally don't mind it, but I have to wonder why those people are farming at this time of night." Emmett had another thought. "I might just be talking out of my ass here, but don't most farmers have, y'know, tractors to help them farm?"

[fer1323]

@Camerch"The farmers here might not feel the need for one. Besides, they might have horses or something of the like." says William.

[Camerch]

"Thank god for modern technology, right?"

He finishes opening the can and pops the lid off. He passes the can over to William, letting have the first drink.

[Phantomlink959]

"I have been on farms, all over the world, in the middle of the night." Brenner claims, crouching down to peer under the door "Roswell, watching the skies over Groom Lake, even near Stonehenge watching for fairy lights"
the old man opens the door slowly and silently to peer out towards the stares "And I have NEVER heard work being done this late at night without some sort of heavy machinery." he closes the door tight and locks it once again.
The old man lies down on the floor and checks under the beds for suspicious or forgotten objects

[fer1323]

@Camerch"Thanks." William takes a hearty sip of the soup and passes it back. "I love modern technology but I think sometimes living free like a tribesman is better than living like a businessman a slave to technology."

[Camerch]

"Each to their own, I s'pose." Emmett says taking a deep drink from the can and sets it down with about 1/5 of the cold soup left. "Is that why you're all the way out here in the country?"

[Rogue Colm]

Cecelia sighs and hops into one of the beds. "C'mon grandpa. I doubt someone bugged this ratty old place. Or that anyone here would have that kind of technology. We're as safe as possible from any technology really." Flipping through her mini-notebook of medieval notes, Cecelia pulls out her wooden swords. "And if you need, I can defend us with these!" Giggling a little, Cecelia smiles at Brenner, jokingly swinging her wooden swords around. If they were real swords, she could actually defend the three of them fairly well. Unless a gun was involved. Then not so much.

[fer1323]

@Camerch "Not really. I am planning to stay with my uncle. Sure, he lives quite far out of Howler's Hill in the forest but his house is more like a suburban one. Last time I remember at least. I asked him if I can stay there for a bit and he agreed if I help him with his work." said William warily. He then yawns. "I really need to get bed."
