Chapter 31: Settling Down
~Day 1~

"No offence but I'd like to stay the night, my head still hurts like hell and I think I fractured my shoulder."
Try to stand.
Ben puts in his two-cents regarding the current situation, as he works the will to stand back up. He reaches out to the edge of the kitchen counter, gripping it as he propels himself upwards. He manages to stand, even with pain surging through both his head and his shoulder. Ben manages to take a few steps before pulling a Wooden Chair out from under the table, sitting down with a groan and placing a hand on his forehead.
Terrel takes Ben's struggle as an opportunity to support his case against Omeen. "See?! We can't be moving around if we've got injured folk in our group. We stay here for tonight." Omeen remains silent and simply brushes past Terrel, "Hey! I'm just looking out for these people Omeen. Chill out."
Kyle's expression clearly says 'fuck my ass' in happy bright terms.
"I think we should stay just for the night, we can have a happy little time together before we go to bed. Maybe I could tell you guys a story, and then we'll decide more tomorrow."
Kyle then goes off to flirt with Trish or whatever the thing they've been doing is called.
Kyle further puts in his support for staying the night. At this point, there's seems to be an overall intangible agreement to stay the night. Afterwards, Kyle searches for Layla, whom he finds in the dining room. Mentally steeling himself for a more direct flirtation session, he approaches the track-suited girl.
[Charisma: 5]
Kyle's sweet talking is enough to bring out a blush from underneath Layla's complexion. Kyle is even able to lay a hand on her arm, to which Layla responds with biting the corner of her lip. Kyle's game is really working this time around.
Jarrod types in 7-1-2-4. If that works, he checks inside the safe for....well, anything.
Jarrod eventually comes up with the idea to correspond the letters with their appropriate numbers. He quickly types in the four digits into the electronic safe, which results in the door popping right open. The mental interior contains a loaded .32 Revolver, along with a small stack of money. Jarrod counts up the sum of the stack, which he finds to be precisely $2000. The final item is a small note on stationary paper. It reads: '
For Emergencies Only'.
Search basement, then try to get things back up a level.
Charles jumps down into the Basement, searching for valuables of any sort. In the search, Charles finds that the place has already been picked clean for the most part. What remains are the clothes on the corpses, and they seem to be in such a decayed state that they aren't of any use. Charles encounters the mutilated corpse again, and takes the usable Combat Boots off of its feet. They'd require a good bit of washing to get rid of the smell, but after that they'd provide very protective footwear to anyone who wanted to wear them.
Go up and search the Master Bedroom
Clair heads upstairs and looks around the Master Bedroom. It seems deserted for the most part, but Clair finds a few things in the Closet as well as the dresser. The usefulness of what she finds is debatable, but it's something:
Hair Brush
Pile of Scrunchies
Fashion Magazines
Business Magazines
Newspapers
Small Telescope (Folded)
Clair is soon accompanied by Trish, who enters the room abrasively. She heads over to the Dresser, spotting Clair. "Hey." Trish then reaches into the pile of Scrunchies, pulling one out and tying it around the central mass of hair on her head.
