The room was cavernous, a big and beautiful room that vaguely resembled an miniature opera house. Lit entirely by warm candles, the soft light set the mind at ease upon entering. The room didn't seem to have any purpose in particular; it was full of ancient heirlooms. Scarlett stood in front of an ornate gilt mirror, gazing at her reflection critically. She wrinkled her nose in distaste and lifted her wet hair off her neck, securing it in a loose, somewhat sloppy chignon. She then turned her attention to the rest of the room.

Emerson squeezed her hand reassuringly and glanced down at her before they proceeded down the hall toward the light. His was curious as to what they would find.
((I'm really sorry about the delay in response, Gaia hasn't been working on my computer lately.))

Garret proceeded down the long hallway when he thought he heard someone behind him. He stopped for a moment to turn around to look down the long hallway with him somewhat eluminated now in the dim light. When he didn't see anything he shrugged for a moment keeping his wits about him. He proceeded into the large room as well and was rather astonished by the look and feel of the room, his eyes ran along the ceiling from each light to light. He walked a little further into the look now with his eyes trailing across the floor now noticing Scarlett. His eyes widened for a minute, he didn't actually think he'd find her in the same room. "My apologies Ms. Scarlett. I didn't realize this room was taken." He said kindly and softly with a warm smile as his clothes weren't dripping anymore. He turned his head for a moment and looked back at her for a minute. He shook his head and turned to make his leave knowing there wasn't anywhere else to go.

Scarlett jumped in surprise; she hadn't heard him enter. Her large eyes widened as she looked at him with a curious expression for a moment before shaking her head. "Oh, it's quite alright, Mr. Asgard. I don't believe that there is anything of use in this room anyway." She looked around the room again with a sweeping gaze, looking for any items that would be of help to get them dry. Seeing nothing, she glanced helplessly into the mirror once more before turning back to Garret.

Relieved she didn't think otherwise of him being there other then searching for a room he shrugged off the idea of this room not being useful. He took off his coat and threw it on a nearby coat rack. He began to walk quickly towards a nearby closet while unbuttoning his shirt rather quickly not seeming to mind she was still there. "If it's any help I still think you look rather good." He said in a feeble attempt to make her feel better. He closet doors flew open as he released the handle. They made a small clanking sound as the sturdy wood hit the sides of the Armour. He paused as he saw all the outfits looked exactly the same as the last. He sighed as his memory kicked in remembering someone in the party was already wearing said outfit. "Great." He said softly to himself. he walked over to what seemed to be a rather large dresser, he placed his cuff links on top of it and continuing to unbutton his dress shirt.

When Scarlett realized what Garret was doing, she flushed crimson and turned away feeling very improper. Abandoning her reflection, she took a seat on an old, velvet chaise lounge and busied herself by watching the floor fixedly. Suddenly, there was an ominous low rumbling noise and Scarlett tore her gaze from the floor to look around for the source of the sound. Before she could see anything, the lights that illuminated the mansion flickered out, leaving them all in pitch darkness.

(Lmao, I really don't know how I didn't see that coming.)
Suddenly the room went black. He sighed knowing that if the worst was going to happen, it might as well happen. As his eyes focused he noticed the room was extremely dark but somewhat eluminated. He carefully made his way over to a window and opened the curtains letting some moon light into the room. "I guess now we're stuck." He said kindly not really amused. To him, Scarlett was a nice girl, but it didn't mean he wanted to get stuck in a room with her, especially since there's a murderer about. He carefully made his way over to a rather large bed laying his dress shirt down on the bed to dry, since that was one of the few things he could see. Now wearing his undershirt and pants he looked over to Scarlett seeing she was still sitting down. He realized now that some things he was hiding up his sleeves were now exposed, although it was dark so he probably didn't need to worry. Though, if she found out, she'd probably assume same very very.. bad things. He sat down on the bed somewhat in the light so she knew he was still there.

((I am so sorry. I was sick for like, the longest time. :[ wink )
Tanya bumped into Emerson for he had stopped moving forward all of a sudden. "What on earth-" Tanya began to ask but stopped herself taking in the light that they were approaching started to flicker, which must have been the reason Emerson had stopped. Then it was black. She could see nothing. "Are you okay?" she asked Emerson, gripping his hand tighter. She knew she shouldn't be frightened, but she was, with the murderer about and all. She could hear the two people they were folowing, conversing with each other and her own rapid breathing. She tried calming herself and relaxed but she still did not let go of Emerson's hand.

Emerson squinted in the dark but couldn't make out any of their surroundings. "I'm fine. Are you alright?" he asked. Hearing the dull murmur of voices inside the room where the light had been, he said, "I think we should follow the voices."

[[Feel better soon, Sam!]]
Scarlett looked around the room in mild panic, trying to identify shapes in the darkness. With a hint of moonlight and the occasional lightning bolt from outside, she was able to make out where Garret was, along with a few other pieces of furniture. She wrapped her arms around her body protectively and listened intently to the sounds of the house. As lightning briefly illuminated the room, Scarlett stared at Garret in curiosity. "What do you have there?" she asked suddenly, trying to keep the panic out of her voice.

((Awwh, thanks. Teehee.))
"Yes, I'm alright," Tanya replied. "And yes, I figured we should follow their voices." Tanya stepped forward, around Emerson, and led the way. She reached the doorway with the door slightly ajar and she could hear their voices, louder now.

"Just something I picked up from my family..." He said vaguely. The lighting startled him for a moment as his eyes began to adjust to the lack of light in the area. "Worried about the sudden darkness?" he ask curiously.

Scarlett stared at Garret in the darkness, her body oddly still. Her expression was unreadable, even her eyes didn't betray her thoughts. She shook her head and didn't answer his question.

Garret remained quiet absorbing the lack of noise in the room. He didn't press the subject much further then needed knowing full well she was just as uncomfortable as he was. He leaned back on the bed lifting his legs up crossing his feet once on the bed. He placed both hands behind his head as he leaned back against the pillows and partially the wall.

Scarlett turned her head toward the door, listening intently. Suddenly, she called rather sharply, "Who is out there?" She was feeling nervous.
