@RainbowFactory@Polaris North When mason missed Juliet, his face turned from wild to annoyed instantly "you little shhhh-" cut off when she bolted for his house and over the gate"really?" he then saw will make his way in and shrugged as he followed them inside only to find them both sitting down like it never happened "First off: I WILL get you back Julie, and second: since when were you a human shield will?"

The girl rolled over onto her side on the couch. "Lets see how you'll get me back. Can't be worse than what I did. We were already soaking in the rain anyway!" She laughed purposely loud to annoy Mason more than he already was. Julie was soaked the least, the good part of wearing hoodies most of the year, so it wasn't directed to her much. This was unbelievably amusing to her. Messing with people or doing silly things cheer her up quite easily after all. Juliet finally sat upright when she stopped laughing, slumping slightly down on the couch with her legs stretched and crossed. "Got anything entertaining?" the girl asked before making a quiet yawn.

@RainbowFactory Mason glared at her with an annoyed expression "We'll see Julie." He took his shoes off and walked over to the couch, taking a seat beside Juliet. "We could watch TV, Play whatever I have on my Xbox or anything you can think of..." He looked around and found the remote. and sat his slightly wet phone on the table, checking to see if it was fine, which it was. Juliet was not going to burn in hell after all.

Will leaned back on the chair and replied, "Human shield? Me? You've got to be kidding me. She dodged, the only reason why I got hit." The blonde then chuckled as Juliet taunted Will. Oh this was going to be fun, watching his every single attempt to get back at her. It's not like he was having fun being the collateral damage but watching them go at it gives a smile to his face. "Got any computers here? Wanna see if some new anime episodes popped up." He asked. Being an avid fan of some shows, he liked to be on time when watching it.

Juliet brought out her phone, which was thick due to having a protective case, and opened it up. The options they had didn't interest her that much, so she decided to do whatever they're doing if it catches her attention. White and blue earphones dangled from her phone, but she let them stay there for a bit as she looked through it. She had free range wifi so the games that required it could be played. The girl put her earphones on and was hypnotized by the fighter game she was on, ignoring the other two in the room. The volume was all the way up so it was easy to hear the different battle cries, blasts, and other noises from the game she played.

"Yeah, I got a computer in my room, c'mon." he got up and led them upstairs, as he passed through he stopped for a minute at a locked door, memories flooded back to mason as he longed to simply walk in and look around, but he didn't, this room held the memories of masons father. Linus hawthorne. Not now. he told himself, fighting the urge to step into the long closed room. "Come on in!" he said as he stepped into his own room at the end of the hall.

"Oho, sweet!" Will practically jumped off his chair before looking at Juliet who was seemingly hypnotized by whatever game she was playing and he could hear sounds coming out of her headphones. The blonde kid continued to poke Juliet's arm and when he had her attention, pointed upstairs practically telling her to go with them to Mason's room. He wasn't sure if she would hear him over the sounds originating from her game so he decided to just gesture everything.

He then left for the room. He proceeded to look around, childish curiosity in his eyes. Although he wasn't one to open doors randomly so he just kept on walking forward until he stepped into Mason's room. Will bounded up to the computer and booted it up, taking out his earphones from his bag and plugging it in. "But wait, what are we gonna do after this?" He asked. Sure it was free time now but since this is a sleepover, they should do something that would involve all of them later on right?

[RainbowFactory]

@Blizz@Polaris North
A light poke could be felt on her arm, the game round ending at the same time. Juliet looked up, blinking a few times while listening to the background music. As they left to go somewhere, she got up and grabbed the back of Will's shirt, lightly holding onto him to let him navigate her around as she continued to play. When Will stopped, Julie lightly bumped into him then quickly let go, looking up from her game again once the next round was finished. She trailed her eyes around the room they were in. The girl automatically assumed it was Mason's, sitting on the edge of his bed and going back to her game seconds later.

[Blizz]

@RainbowFactory@Polaris North Mason walked over to his closet and pulled his bag off and hung it on the doorknob, kicked his shoes off and fell back on the bed "Aaaaand I'm already bored, nice..." Mason grabbed his remote and Xbox controller and began to play Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, Time slowly drifted away as he was lost in the game.

[Polaris North]

@RainbowFactory@Blizz

Everyone was doing their own thing. It wasn't long until Will got bored as well as he finished up on catching up. Apparently, it wasn't too long. He was just tapping away in the computer now. Actually, the anime didn't update which gave him a whole lot of free time. Minutes later, he took out his earphones, spun the to turn the two and asked,

"Oi, oi, is there something we can do? You know, maybe together?"

[Blizz]

@Polaris North Mason shrugged "Not much..." he kept casting glances to the locked room in paranoia Please don't ask about it, Please don't ask about it.He thought over and over in his head @Polaris North

@Polaris North@Blizz
So much time passed by as Juliet played the fighter game on her phone that she managed to complete an entire map, and continued onto the next one. Through her earphones as a new round started the girl could hear the muffled sounds of the boys' voices. I played this game too long, she thought to herself, closing up the game and taking off her earphones to listen to them. Julie noticed Mason's eyes trailing to a door out in the hallway every few moments, so she pointed out to it without saying a word.

[Polaris North]

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

Will looked at Mason. He was acting a little weird. That was when Juliet stopped playing and then pointed at a room down the hall. It didn't take too long for Will to register that Mason was looking at it quite nervously. "Hey, what's in that room?" He asked, as if acting as the audio for Juliet's motions. He then gestured to the... perhaps locked room? That they passed by earlier. Honestly, the blond kid was getting more and more curious about it.

[Blizz]

@Polaris North @RainbowFactory Mason noticed her interrogative point to the door "There's just a bunch of memories in there..." he told what was meant to be a lie, but it was also rather true "Haven't been in there for years. Didn't ever want to damage something in there so I stay out"

[RainbowFactory]

@Polaris North@Blizz
Juliet quickly looked down at her phone to turn on music, putting only one earphone on so she could hear the others. The sound was still loud so even with one earphone it didn't help that much. She looked back up towards Mason and told him without hesitation, "I wanna go inside the room." The girl paused, waiting for one of them to either yell at her or let her go inside. She could tell Will wanted to find out what was inside the room, and since Mason didn't tell them what was actually inside, Julie wanted to go even more. Juliet prayed inside her head that Mason would let the two inside. He didn't have to go with them, just let them in.

[Polaris North]

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

A bunch of memories? Will wanted to know what exactly was in there. If it's just a bunch of memories, Mason shouldn't mind them taking a look inside right? When Julie expressed her want to go inside, the blonde stood up and nodded. "Me too!" Just like Juliet, Mason's unwillingness to share only fed his curiosity even more. It's just so interesting that he wanted to get in there and find out what was inside. "We won't touch anything... or at least we won't break anything." He corrected himself mostly because promising not to touch anything is too hard to keep. When one is curious, they would most likely want to touch it. It's the reason why he doesn't like going to the museums that much because he can't touch much things.

[Blizz]

@Polaris North@RainbowFactory "Woah now, back up a second." That door hadn't been opened in years, mason hasn't even peeked in for that time period, he thought about it for a moment in his head. Whatever, as long as they don't touch it. he looked at them both and told themv"If I let the two of you in there, do not touch a single thing unless I say you can. We clear?" Masons voice had a sharp edge to it as he warned them, if they had damaged anything at all, he would have a few graves to dig.

[RainbowFactory]

@Polaris North@Blizz
The girl partially nodded, getting up from the bed and brushing her clothes off. She would walk out in the hallway, turning back slightly and staring at the two in the room. "C'mon, lets go. Mason, since it's your house and you're letting us inside, you might as well open the door yourself. You never know if we'll somehow break the door handle off since it wasn't touched for so long." Juliet would laugh. She turned back and walked a few more steps until to the door, spinning around and leaning on one leg and tapping her other foot to the beat of the song she played. Before they came out Julie would put her phone into her hoodie pocket to make sure it wouldn't accidentally get lost inside the room. Mason still didn't tell them what was inside after all, so they don't exactly know what to prepare for. She prayed that it wasn't another basic room and waste their time, but it was a small chance since her friend was acting like it was some unopened ancient tomb.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory

"Yeah, sure." Will said before standing up and then following Juliet outside. He then waited for Mason to open the door, hiding a laugh when Juliet spoke. He seemed really excited on what would happen considering Mason hasn't even told them a single thing about the room. Just that it was left untouched for ages. He would run his hand through his hair as he leaned on the wall beside the door, eagerly waiting for Mason to open the door.

[Blizz]

@RainbowFactory Mason shot her a cold glare "I swear to god if you break anything, even the doorknob..." Mason brushed the moment aside and follow Juliet out of his room "One second I'll be right back." He made his way downstairs and to a Storeroom where the key was. Mason flicked the light switch on in the old room, he searched around for a few minutes to find a small wooden box with a key inside it. Mason instantly regretted this decision...

Am I seriously doing this? Why am I opening this door after so long? Oh whatever... Mason opened the box and pulled out a dark brown key that was slightly tarnished, along the side of it were the initials of who owned the key: 'L.H.'.

Mason closed the box and stuffed the key in his pocket, he rushed back up stairs and met up with them again. "Alright, Lets go." Mason took the key out and put it in the lock, he let out a sigh and opened the door, after 10 years.

The Inside of the room seemed like any other part of the house:The walls were painted light blue. Against the wall were several closed boxes, a few were opened to reveal Notebooks. On the other side of the room was a window with the curtains closed, to the left was a table with a framed picture of masons parents and him as a baby. At the back of the room sat a desk and office chair, on the desk was a rather old computer, cloaked In dust from lack of use, the computer was unplugged and outdated. On the table was also an image of a scale on a piece of paper, with the word "Libra" written in dark blue.

"See? There's nothing here..." Mason said with a glint of unease in his voice, he wanted desperately to be able to shut the door back so no one would ever set foot inside.
