Go around the house and count up how many rooms it has and what sort of rooms they are. Also, because this is a horror game,

>Go up the stairs.

Actually, I was going to draw a floor plan. At some point.

[NRDL]

Oh my God, the monster is a parasite that lives in his back. 

Check if there's anything different with your body.  If there's nothing, go upstairs. 

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Alex felt his back. Nothing out of the ordinary. Still determined to find out if something is wrong Alex walked into the bathroom and, awkwardly, looked at his back in the mirror. Nothing odd is apparent except for grooves in his skin where the elastic from his boxers touched his skin. Nothing to bad.

The bedroom, a closet, a study, and a bathroom are on the second level, or up the stairs. The first level has the livingroom, a hallway, a dining room, a foyer, a coat closet, a kitchen, and a garage/workroom. There is a crawlspace hatch in the coatroom closet that you haven't been down yet. I'll whip up something a little more purdy when I get my hands on some engineers paper and a fine tipped marker.

[NRDL]

Check garage. 

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Alex drops his shirt back to normal and heads downstairs to the garage. Alex opens the door and opens the door. Completely dark except for light peaking out from the crack between the dusty concrete floor and garage door. Alex flips the switch on the wall...

... A buzzing noise is heard and then a click aaand...

Light!

There isn't much to see in the garage, no windows and a door to the outside aside from the main garage door, which has no motor but is opened manually. The garage is almost completely empty except for a small group of tools that Alex had bought for yard work ,a rake,a shovel, a trowel, a file, and a pulaski (nice!), all of which unused and shiny new except for the shovel which is dusty and has cracked paint.

The floor is cracked and dusty concrete and has a rusty drain in the center of the floor. The walls unpainted and old looking. The boiler is located here and makes a quiet whoosh. It looks like it is held together by rust and solder alone.

Alex walks down into the center where the drain is located and looks into it. Dark. Rusty. Dark.

*Snap!*

A loud snap is heard under the small wooden staircase that leads up to the door to the kitchen. The snap makes Alex jump almost entirely out of his skin. Alex gasps and looks around the room before pipointing where it came from. Under the stairs is dark but it is illuminated enough to make out a small object.

An almost inaudible scraping noise can be heard from where the object is.

A LED flashlight is on Alex's keychain.

[NRDL]

Grab shovel and head to location of noise.   

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Bumping for votes.

[Grek]

We don't need a shovel. Point your flashlight at it!

[Azthor]

We don't need a shovel. Point your flashlight at it!

Grab the shovel THEN point the flashlight at it.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Alex grabs the shovel and wades in his pocket for his little flashlight. At first he can't make up his mind which to use but reason wins out and the fact he has two hands become apparent.

Alex turns on the flashlight and a white light illuminates the area, but only barely. It looks like a grey thing about the size of your thumb is attached to a small box of matches and is struggling against it in oceans of grey dust. You can't tell really what you are looking at from this angle.

[Grek]

Its a mouse!

[mcclay]

Walk over to the thing while holding your shovel in a postion that allows you to swing down easily

[Gotdamnmiracle]

It's a mouse! A grey little fieldmouse by the looks of it. It's tail is caught in a rusty old mouse trap.

The mouse is under the stairs and out of your reach, even if you were to force your arm all the way in there. You think the shovel is long enough to scoop the mouse out though. It looks like it is dragging the mouse trap away from you in fear, but it is going very slowly, not able to get much traction on the concrete floor, and unable to pull the weight.

Sorry about the short posts. I'm on a phone. Decide what you want to do with the little guy and I'll whip up a good post when I hit a computer.

[mcclay]

Use the shovel to get the mouse out and then relase it from the trap.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Alex scoops the mouse out from under the stairs with a little difficulty. The scrape of steel on stone is heard as the creature is dragged toward you.

In Alex's hand is a small mouse with it's tail caught and broken in the trap, hanging, pale and at a limp angle from the rest of it.

Alex pries the trap open with a degree of difficulty, it is meant to break a creatures back and all, and the fact that it is rusty doesn't make it any easier. Just as it rises enough, the mouse squeezes out and runs out of your hand and on to the floor. Before you can try and catch it, it runs under the stairs and is gone.

"Great. I let a mouse free in my house. That won't bite me in the ass." Alex says sarcastically placing his shovel in the pile and going inside to toss the trap in the trash.

Alex flips off the light and dumps the relic in the trash.
