[[Confirm->Begin]]
[[Go back->Pronouns]]The House at the end of Bleeker Street had always held a mystical grip over you. The rickety structure was a perplexing enigma that you had made every effort to avoid. You knew that if you were ever close enough to The House to fully describe it, it would be too late.
It stood alone at the very end of the road, far past where the street had turned from the familiar black and yellow hardtop into gravely dirt. The vine-covered, wooden-paneled, slanted house stood with an alluring force that you had tried for so long to ignore. But, with your presence at its front door, you know that you have failed. You could try to convince yourself that you’re just taking a quick peek. Just a small gander at the neighborhood spook. But you know better than to kid yourself. You’re here to finally go inside this wretched building and claim its many, many secrets as your own.
[[Enter the house]]
[[Run away]]You cautiously reach towards the ornate brass handle - somehow gleaming in a relatively perfect condition compared to the majority of the house. As you grip the handle, you desperately wish that this house is boarded up and inaccessible so you can go home. With your heart pounding in your ears, you twist the doorknob.
It's unlocked.
The door swings open with a powerful force from within, as if someone had been waiting for you to be close enough. You don't have time to react as the door strikes you in the head, sending you spiralling into unconsiousness.
[[Next->Hurt in the house]]You take a step back from the terrifying thing's entrance. This is far too much for you to handle.
You run away from the terrifying house as fast as your feet will take you. A few feet away from the front porch, something slimy grabs your left leg and pulls it back, knocking you off your balance and sending your face flying to the hard asphalt.
{(set: $ranaway to true)}
[[Next->Hurt in the house]]
A whirlwind of a distant throbbing head pain and hazy confusion accompanies you. You're barely aware of the many hands dragging you across the ground. One or two lucid moments grant you sights of concerned strangers nursing you in a decrepit, mouldy entry way.
A chorus of voices flit gently through the fog of your injury.
(color:$dillonColor)["(upperfirst: $proIs) obviously not okay. What do we do?"]

(color:$dillonColor)["Well, we should probably get $persProObj some water."]
(color:$mapleColor)["I have coke?"]

The voices fade once again to the back of your mind.
[[Wake up]]{<img class="right-side large" src="https://i.imgur.com/6CJ3RYz.png">}\
After an immesurable amount of time in that headspace, you awake to a soft, candle-lit room. Dusty pillows prop up your head and your feet. You see a mouldy and decrepit ceiling crowned with cobwebs and dust. A draft blows aimlessly through the space, tusling your clothes and hair.
You smell... coffee?
You prop yourself up on your elbows and see three worry-stricken faces. {

[[Go back->Wake up]]Dillon sighs. (color:$dillonColor)["We don't know. But this place has kept me here for... I think three months? I'm not sure. Maple, over there, has been here for at least a year."]
Maple, now in the corner of the room playing with a stuffed frog, waves at you when she hears her name.
"Why don't you just leave?"
She gently laughs, (color:$dillonColor)["We'd sure like to! There's no way out, though. Every door and window is locked and impossible to cut through. Last week I sprained my wrist trying to bash one of the windows in."]
You contemplate this information.
[[Go back->Wake up]]"How did you all end up in this house?"
Dillon and Coal look at each other and chuckle.
Coal glances at you and shrugs.
(color:$coalColor)["I dunno... I guess I just walked here one day."]
Dillon nods.
(color:$dillonColor)["Me too."]
Maple smiles wide and holds up three fingers
(color: $mapleColor)["Me three!"]
[[Go back->Wake up]]You look closer at your immediate environment. You're in what looks to be a living room that's been abandoned for several decades. Peeling wallpaper, raggedy torn sofas and broken lamps are all exhibits of this house's slide into eventual collapse.
You're propped up on suprisingly clean pillows on the center of this room's floor.
Dillon kneels down to adjust one of the pillows. She glances up at you as she does this
(color:$dillonColor)["Sorry kiddo, but it seems you're stuck with us. You get comfy. If you need anything, we'll be around."]
Satisfied with your comfort, the three kids disperse, leaving you alone in the dilapidated living room.

There's several toy chests strewn throughout the room, garishly painted and slapped with tacky stickers. Worst yet of all is a 6ft tall statue of a clown with a stretched, sardonic smile in the corner of the room.

But... After looking closely you see some small scuffs and [[scratches]] in the wooden floor that the carpet fails to hide.
[[Go back ->Bedroom 1 - Floor 2]]Pulling back the rest of the carpet reveals a path of barely visible damage that forms a perfect 90 degree circular arc from the wall. Following this path with your fingers takes your hand to a slightly raised panel in the wall.
You press down hard. The panel pushes back with a mechanical *clunk.* Then, the panel pops forward, letting you grab it and pull it along the same scratch mark path it must've opened on hundreds of times before.
In front of you is a foreboding [[passageway->Clown room - Floor 2]] into a room behind the bedroom.

There's no furniture in this room to speak of, except a dirty blanket and pillow without a pillowcase on the floor.

You approach the toy chest. With the sound of your footfalls, the rustling vanishes.
With bated breath, you open the toy chest with a slow and shaky hand.
Light streams in the the chest, revealing a horde of old-fashioned toys, and a shaking form of a {

Once she sees you, she relaxes and stops shaking as much. She speaks up to you in an accented whisper.
(color:$xenaColor)["Oh... Hello... I am Xena."]
She climbs out of the toy box, speaking still in just a whisper.
(color:$xenaColor)["You opened the way out... My thanks."]
You nod as she looks around the room. Her eyes scan the room until they reache the clown statue. She shudders, then looks back at you.
(color:$xenaColor)["I am leaving now. I do not like this place. Goodbye."]
She promptly drops to her knees and crawls out through the passageway.

You creep your way down the hallway. Being this high up in such a broken-down house does *not* feel safe. You try to stick close to the wall to walk on the most structurally sound, secure bits of floorboard.
At the end of the hallway, there's a bedroom to your left and a (if: $burningDown is true)[hatch](else:)[[hatch]] in the ceiling that's way too high to reach.

[[Go back down the hallway->Hallway - Floor 3]]Pushing up with your legs, you heave up with the broomstick on the attic hatch. It strikes the hatch, popping it open with suprisingly little force.
A rope ladder falls out of the opened hatch.
You can't see anything up there, but you have a sinking feeling about the whole situation. It just feels... *bad* up there.

"Yikes you're so old."
[[Go back->Talk to Dillon]]You clamber up into the attic to find a dark, rather normal looking storage space. You can’t really see that far, but you can tell this place has a distinct evil aura to it. The air tastes musty and rank. Whispers and silent caterwauls echo throughout the darkness. A draft changes direction at random intervals.
A raspy set of voices pierce the darkness.
**(color:"red")+(text-style: "rumble")["HELLO, (uppercase:$pcName)."]**
You strain to see the source of the voice, but you can't quite make out where it's coming from.

She opens her palm, revealing a mini diecast model car clutched within.

You creep into the family room, careful to avoid any stray upturned floorboards or loose nails.
The room, like most else in this house, is nearly completely barren. There's an old-fashioned television stand without a television, a floor lamp with a flower-embroidered lampshade, and a dusty set chair and couch set. Aside from that, the only decor this room enjoys is a thick layer of dust.

Your feet become fastly stuck to the attic floor, preventing you from moving any farther.

In an instant that lasts a lifetime, you toss the lit lighter to rafters. It flies gracefully, end-over-end, until it wedges itself into the corner of a rafter and the roof. The open flame dances under the beam for an anxious moment before it catches the dry wood.
**(color:"red")+(text-style: "rumble")["NOOO!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?"]**
Your gamble pays off as the flame spreads from the support beam, catching more and more wood.

The twins reach for you, grabbing your arms and legs before dragging you back. You try to struggle but they are inhumanly strong. You look back up at your captors and their crazed grins. These obviously aren't the same aloof twins you met before. Something has warp and twisted them - made them do this.
They shout in unison.

An orange glow fills the room. Since you're being dragged backwards, you can't make out what's causing it. Suddenly, the twins heave you back before tossing you.

The walls, floor and ceiling all are made of... some kind of meat? Meat that had been dried and drained. It's squishy to walk on like an undisturbed trampoline.
Aside from the meatiness of it all, there's nothing particularly notable about this room. No furniture, windows or rafters. Just meat.
