Nam glanced into the hole, wondering what could be down the shaft. Taking a bar of soap from his pocket (talk about a pack rat, came in handy, though,) he dropped it into the abyss. Almost immedietly after there was a small thud; the bottom was close. He edged in feet first before Kryxel, shouting that it was safe, but dark.

zfatal ((Just in case somebody doesn't know, a conservatory is a green house. A large one.)) Oliver gave a half-smile. "His Grace will be... a little upset, to be sure... but I don't think he'll blame you. I wouldn't tackle him again, though...."
Rosemary strode into the library with a quick, purposeful gait. Once she saw the other people occupying the room, her eyes immediately went to Oliver.
"Oliver, go check on my father, pretty please."
The old man took the hint, and left. Rosemary looked around, confused. "There was supposed to be other people in here," she said, pouting. Her mood chippered up immediately, though, and she walked over to Alya. "Heeey, Alya. Want to go explore somewhere secret?"((I know - I live in Great Britain!)) Alya watched as Oliver left and then looked at Rosemary smiling and nodded, removing her thumb from her mouth. This place seemed like it was full of secrets "Where?" She said ultra softly

Stephanie glanced at Rosemary and Alya out of the corner of her eye.
/Jeez, I feel lonely now. I wonder what they're talking about./ she wondered.

Rosemary pursed her lips, looking around and seeing Stephanie. She had really thought that there had been more people in the room, though....
Leaning near Alya's ear, Rosemary whispered, "We can explore a hidden passageway I found a week back. I haven't explored it, much, and there's a puzzle I can't figure out. I bet you're smart, though. We could do it together."
The girl turned around and marched off, hands folded behind her back. If Alya wanted to come, by gosh she would then, now wouldn't she?

Alya smiled and jumped up in happiness
"lets go" She whispered happy someone was playing with, something she had normally no time for when she had been out in the streets

Rosemary walked out of the library, before entering with Alya into the Gold Room. This was a room that only consisted of a long hallway full of portraits and tapestries, lined with sculptures and pieces of antique furniture.
The well-dressed girl strolled over a statue of some ancient-looking lady, then pushed the statue's nose in like a button.
The pedestal supporting the statue opened inwardly, creating a small square about two feet wide and long. Without hesitating, Rosemary crawled into the hole, and left it open.
((Gtg for awhile. Bbl.))

Alya smiled and crawled along into the hole with Rosemary happy that some mystery had turned up. Hardly anyone could follow them here

Luna noticed everyone walk out of the library, and she slowly followed. They eventually went into a greenhouse. Luna couldn't recongnize it, and sighed, as she noticed more people come in. Luna looked as she saw many plants, including a flytrap. Luna's eyes widen, since she had never seen one where she lives. She looked fascinatingly at the plant.

It was dark, hardly any light in the small, cramped space. "Don't worry - this tunnel only leads to one place," Rosemary called back behind her. "There's candles on the other end."
Once Rosemary was standing upright again, she lit a candle and waited for Alya to make her way out of the crawlspace as well.
The room Rosemary now stood in was about a quarter of the width of the spacious corridors upstairs. It was also about half as tall - meaning an ordinary-sized adult would have to duck in order to avoid hitting his or her head on the ceiling.
The walls were old and wooden, and it wouldn't surprise Rosemary if they collapsed one day. However, it wouldn't happen today. She didn't know this, but she believed it.
The hall stretched on, into a pool of darkness. Rosemary, having explored the entire hall's length, knew it only ended, after a few turns, at a large door. This door was wooden as well, but large and very thick. A puzzle of some sort - a set of three revolving circles, within one another, with a knobby center - resembling a target of sorts. The 'bullseye,' so to speak, had a hole in the center, about as big around as Rosemary's small finger.
Each revolving circle held some pictures, though Rosemary could only make out one or two. Well, this was the obstacle the de Hoyles daughter could not pass. It didn't hurt that she was too small to turn the circular panels, either.

((I have to mention that flashlights and things of that nature are, while allowed since this does take place in the present, not quite readily available, since you're in an english mansion in the boglands, where they are very old-fashioned things. I won't disallow this, but I do discourage doing it too much. You will not find anything that uses electricity in this house, for example. I'm not telling you to edit, though - you can keep the flashlight.))
