Wait... Undying love = candle light. Find some candles.

Brilliant!

[Cheeetar]

Try to remember why Anna could be mad at you.

[Deon]

For the love of... put your sneaker back on and grab your lighter! It burns things and give light. And we should read that paper later.

Psh, if we wanted light we would try the light switch first. It's all about atmosphere!

Wait... Undying love = candle light. Find some candles.

I say investigate the sound. It came from the south. So we see anything out of the ordinary?

Try to remember why Anna could be mad at you.

You wear your sneaker. You pick up a book and light a lighter. The book title says "Oval Portrait".

You take out a crumpled paper and look at it. There's a strange picture on it (and letters "E.S.").




Probably you drew it during one of your classes.


You stare in a dark doorway leading to the stairs, it's completely black there and you see nothing.
You turn on the switch on the wall to your left. Then again. Then again. Damn it, no electricity...
You return to the cabinet in the dining room and take out two long church candles your mother stored there. The lighter starts to burn your finger and you have to stop buring the gas. It seems much darker now, after your eyes have adapted to the bright light coming from the fire.

It's rather uncomfortable, with a book under your arm, with your pockets full of stuff and with your both arms busy.



You try to remember why Anna was angry. She said something about party and...

Suddenly you hear that something falls on the floor, the sound probably comes from a kitchen, although it's hard to determine due to walls.

[Diablous]

Check out the kitchen.

I have to go to bed soon, and keep the cat from knocking over a lamp. Don't kill the guy.

[Deon]

I have to go to bed too, 7 AM.

Post your thoughts, I will update once I wake up.

Don't kill the guy.

I actually roll a d6 die from time to time, I use it often. I think it's a leftover of old DnD sessions.

Wait... Undying love = candle light. Find some candles.

Candles burn out, silly.

Anyway, grab the candle, use as torch. Put card, crumpled paper, etc. down, we don't need to carry it with us. Investigate kitchen.

[Cheeetar]

Put the book down, calm yourself down and check out the kitchen.

[Flintus10]

'Cautiously' check out the kitchen.

[EagleV]

It seems Jack needs a reasonable mind part from time to time.

If there is a burglar, we don't want a candle in our hands and a book under our arms, we want our nightvision back and a baseball bat. Put the candle down, search for a better weapon than a book, and while searching, hope your eyes will get used to the dark quickly.

Also, try to remember if we ever read a story of HP Lovecraft.

[Deon]

You put the mysterious piece of paper, the book (you notice "Edgar Allan Poe" written on it before you drop it, which brings back memories of reading this book along with another one by H.P. Lovecraft during your physics classes) and the card in the cabinet. You light up a candle but then you think that it's not a good idea to carry a bright candle if there's a burglar. You damp down the candle and blink a few times, letting your eyes to adapt to the environment. It looks like it's not that dark at all if you don't look at a source of light.

You look around but you cannot find anything you could use as a weapon. You slowly walk to the kitchen. You notice that the kitchen door is slightly opened.



You carefully open the door and proceed to the kitchen.



As you enter it, you see a pair of yellow eyes staring at you from a kitchen table.

[100killer9]

Shoo the cat, I guess.

[Cheeetar]

Shoo the cat, then turn on the light.

[Deon]

You already tried it in the lobby, there's no electricity.

[Deon]

You shoo the cat and it runs out through the kitchen door. You didn't see if it headed outside or in your living room. You don't want some cat pee on your carpet, but you don't know how are you going to find it a black cat in a dark room...

The fridge switches on and starts to flicker with its indicator lights. It looks like the electricity is back on.

You hear as someone goes down the stairs and shuts the door from the stairs to the street. Is it a good thing to leave the front door opened for such a long time?

Also you remember that your primary intention was to go out and buy some flowers for Anna, and you probably have to get a plastic bag or a backpack with you. Also you notice that the falling sound was produced by a kitchen knife. Probably the cat sneaked from the stairs when the door was opened and shoved the knife on the floor when it jumped on your kitchen table.
