WW121: The Haunting of Lupine Manor—Chapter 3

April 25, XXXXX—10:00pm—A storm ranges outside, but laughter and a low fire keep the manor warm

You feel at home in Lupine Manor. And you can tell the others do too, as you all file out of the sitting room after a night of stories and games, laughing and talking as you make your way back to your rooms.

Despite everything that has happened, you feel a fondness — for your fellow guests, for Olivia Crain, for the manor itself.

You plan to let this feeling carry you into sweet slumber, but you barely step foot on the staircase before the entire manor plunges into complete darkness.

“What happened?” You cry out, starting to panic as you’re met with no answer. “Hello? Is anyone else there?”

In the distance, you hear a fight break out, and you move away from the sounds of struggle. You don’t want to get caught in the crossfire, especially when you can’t see.

You freeze when you hear a long, drawn out scream from the opposite end of the black void you’re in. The scream goes on and on, longer than a human being could possibly hold it for. It cuts off abruptly, and you know that whoever it was no longer walked with the living.

---

You don’t know how long you stayed in the darkness. Was it minutes? Hours? Days? As time passed, you slowly begin to let go of your fear. You let the blackness envelop you. You no longer remember why you were so frightened.

When light comes flooding back, rage courses through you. You were so at peace…

You push the disturbing thought to the back of your mind, meeting the confused and scared looks of your fellow guests.

“Are we all here?” One of them asks, even if they all know the answer.

They find a body in one of the rooms. There are deep bruises around its neck. You expect to find another crucifix, but there is none.

Talky Tina/Guy Fieri (Creeper) is dead. They were an Ordinary Guest (Vanilla Town).

Another of their number is missing, yet they could not find a trace of them anywhere in Lupine Manor.

Wirt (Side) is dead. He was Theodora (Town Cop).

The teenager is part of the manor now. You are shocked to discover that you feel something like envy towards the boy.
