Antony followed at a slower pace, taking a moment to glance over at his father in a pleading manner. He wanted to go home and get a shower, but Shade was presently flirting with a redhead, yet another beer in his hand.
Reluctantly the boy reached the room Harper had led him to, wondering what on gaia his height had to do with anything.

Harper pointed desperately up at the knob, far too high for him to properly turn. "This Eliot's room, he keeps treasure inside," Harper glanced at Antony and grinned, "so you open."
He took a step back to get out of the way and waited for Antony to open the door, while Harper looked side to side to make sure nobody was watching.

"Are you sure we should be going in here?" Antony asked as he reached for the doorknob. He almost hoped that the door was locked, but he liked the word "treasure."

Harper stared at Antony for a moment while thinking of an appropriate answer. Of course there was a reason he wasn't allowed in, the one time he had before he had made a havoc and destroyed some of Eliot's stuff... but just because they didn't let him in, it didn't mean he shouldn't go in, right? Right.
"We can go in!" He assured, though his tone was now little more than a whisper. He noticed his mother pick up a new can of beer and head toward Eliot, knowing full well she was going to kick him and throw the beer on him so that he would wake up, (and she could use him to fend off the drooling stalker guy she had recently acquired.)
"Hurry!" He squeaked.
The door wasn't locked, quite stupid of Eliot considering anyone at the party could waltz in whenever they pleased. Ashley had made it quite clear nobody was to use any of the bedrooms for 'stuff' long ago, however, due to one of the rooms being Harper's and her not wanting to expose him to 'stuff.'
THANK ALL THAT IS GOOD.

Antony turned the doorknob, opening it and looking inside blankly at all of the things.
He didn't see any piles of gold or jewels, which was sorely disappointing.

WHAT WAS THERE! was mounds of poofy, ridiculous rockstar clothes that most would be shot on sight for if they wore them in general public, amplifiers, a bass in the middle, a makeshift bed, more clothes, posters on the walls that showed a band with striking resemblance to all of Harper's guardians, books (eliot could read?!), and more empty beer cans!
Thankfully there was a lack of foodstuffs too, so despite the fact that most of the clothes were likely unwashed there was little in the name of mold.
"YAAAY!" Harper yelled, running into the room he crashed straight into a pile of clothes. "Come!" He ushered Antony.

Antony raised an eyebrow at the mess, wondering what the little boy was so enthusiastic about. "I don't see any treasure," he said. "Doesn't he at least have a crown?"

Harper shook his head a little, while picking up an over sized jacket with a poofy 'furr' collar and a ridiculous leopard print covering the rest of it. "He has a jacket!" He explained, pointing at a emblem on the back of the jacket that said 'rock king.' Course he had no idea what it said, but he had seen Eliot wear the thing before and judging by the response Eliot got from it.
"Come, you try on!" He encouraged.

"Rock King?" Antony read. "Like Elvis? Elvis was the King of Rock," he said as he reached for the jacket, actually contemplating it. "But I don't remember seeing him in this kind of jacket, even in all those shows on television."

Harper rolled his eyes, "Jus try on!" He insisted as he relinquished the jacket and turned to dig up more treasures. He quickly produced a hat he thought would go nicely (it was bright purple) and motioned for Antony to bend down.

Hesitantly Antony put on the coat and leaned down for the hat. It definitely wasn't his style, but it was interesting. "Do you have a mirror?" he asked curiously.

Harper plopped the hat on Antony's head and grinned cheekily while pointing at a full body mirror on the opposite side of Eliot's bed. (don't ask.)
It only took a few seconds for Harper's smile to fade and he began staring at Antony blankly as if something might be wrong.

Antony started to turn to the mirror, only to stop at the look. "What is it? Is purple not my color?"
He had to look ridiculous, but at the same time, he rather liked the large hat... it wasn't a crown, but it did have flare.

"There's a bug." Harper said simply, pointing at Antony's shoulder where, indeed, a rather large spider was crawling for dear life after being so rudely disturbed from it's rest. It's EGG SACK was in the fur of that jacket, and those babies were about to sprout soon!

Antony looked down, his eyes widening at the sight of the bug, his face turning pale. Then he very, very calmly slipped the coat off and let it fall to the floor again.
The hat went next, followed by the boy racing out of the room entirely, obviously fighting the urge to scream.
