The first thing you hear is the sound of rain faintly hitting the exterior of the house. The soft pitter-patter is almost soothing, in a way, but it’s quickly followed up by rumbling thunder in the distance. You open your eyes, and for a second all you see is a flash of light--at first it seems like it’s lightning, but then you see something. A vision of a man dressed in rags, hunched over, waves of demonic power rolling over him. He howls, and something terrible starts to grow out of him: the bloody roots of a massive tree. An immense wave of panic hits you, and you can’t move, you can’t speak, you can’t breathe--

And then it’s over. It’s over. You’re fine.

The sound of rain returns. (This time it’s definitely soothing, compared to what you just saw.) You’re standing in the foyer of a mansion, a wide open living room in front of you. The door behind you is faintly ajar, leading outside.

Just the other two rooms up here. That's the library and the bathroom. I also went through the mirror in the bathroom, which went to... my room... but things seemed fine in there.

[SWEATS SHE DIDN'T CHECK THE MIRROR

oh also lily is like super sparkly forgot to mention that. GLITTERY AND FABULOUS!!!!]

Oh, huh, interesting...I haven't been to the library, yet. Might pop in there if I don't find whatever it is that's needed for the bathroom in here or this chest.

I didn't see anything in there myself, but it's possible I missed something...

That's fair. I missed something happening with the mirror. The one thing I puzzled out was Nero's arm being used to open the trapdoor in the cellar, and seeing as how I haven't seen Shri in some time, I'm guessing that worked. Once isn't enough to establish a pattern, but it's more than I have and so it's possible things that need opening might not have their keys in the same room. Of course, I'll still be vigilant.
