Tyler Martin // 19 // human // feeling: shocked, suspicious // tags: mansion entryway, Icarus
Tyler didn’t seem to believe what Icarus was telling him about being safe inside, once again eyeing the door that had groaned after the large wolf simply leaned on it. Still though, it was better than being outside without any kind of barrier at all. The remark their host made about the creature simply being territorial was a valid guess, Tyler supposed, but his eyes narrowed a little at the guess. “Maybe. I’ve gotta say, that’s a pretty good guess for someone who only saw a few seconds of the whole thing.” The 19 year old didn’t exactly sound accusatory as he said it, but he wasn’t shy about voicing his suspicion.
Tyler’s suspicion only increased with the next words this guy said- why was he answer so ominous? It was enough that the house had an eerie feeling to it, there was some freak canine outside, and the other guy who had opened the door for them looked kind of stereotypical vampire-like aside from the clothes. Just as the young man opened his mouth to ask something else, Icarus had smiled at someone nearby and looked... transparent?!
Tyler sucked in his breath and took a few steps back, his eyes searching Icarus’ face and chest for anything to disprove what he had seen. Once the moonlight had grazed the other, it was obvious that he was not standing there in a solid form. “Are you... a ghost..?” The man questioned loudly, raising a hand to rub his eye.

Fredrick // ?? // vampire // feeling: mischievous, annoyed // tags: Mansion entryway, Kenzie
Fredrick couldn’t stop his mouth from forming a flat line on his face as Kenzie continued to insult his housemates, the mansion, and himself. Eventually he turned around and pressed his thumb and index finger to his forehead, took a deep breath, and then turned back around to face her again. “I mean we could have ignored the screams outside for a few minutes longer than we did, but we didn’t! And literally so many people live in the woods! Haven’t you heard of cottagecore??” Fredrick felt a little stupid after saying that considering the mansion they were standing in was far from the styles shown in that aesthetic, and in an attempt to lessen his embarrassment, he cleared his throat. “In any case, I don’t even know why I’m trying to explain ourselves to someone who technically trespassed to get here. Plus I would think random people showing up to a house in the middle of the night is more murderer-y than the people invited them in because there’s a giant wolf?” The vampire crossed his arms access his chest. With a sigh, he suddenly seemed to wonder why exactly he was still arguing with some child when he was, of course, a mature adult.
“Oh, whatever.” Fredrick scoffed at the girl’s last comment, in a tone that did not exactly sound like a mature adult. “You know, I’d say just get your water yourself if I didn’t think you would snoop around our house like you’re playing detective,” he rolled his eyes, and then glanced over to where Icarus was “standing”. Overhearing what he was telling the human boy in a room that was still pretty quiet, and then scanning the faces of the human teenagers who seemed to figure out what was going on, Fredrick gave a small smirk.
“My name, huh?” He repeated, looking back to Kenzie. “If it’s that important to know, then I’m Fredrick. And you’ll be safe from the wolf... probably. He’s still outside, after all.” The vampire shrugged, bearing his fangs in a toothy grin he hoped would spook the newcomer.

Gabriella (Gabby) Evans // 16 // human // feeling: shocked, a little excited // tags: mansion entryway, Seraphina, Silver, Zayn
Gabby gave a genuine smile after the lighter-haired resident started talking with them. She seemed a little less sketchy than the two who had opened the doors, and although Gabby still didn’t fully trust any of them, they could at least have a pleasant conversation.
“Heh, well keep that in mind for next time. Er... not that there will BE a next time, but... you know.” The girl scratched the back of her neck. “We were just out here to explore a little bit; I swear we didn’t know you guys were out here! Or that there was a giant wolf in the woods.” Gabriella gave an uneasy chuckle at that, suddenly realizing how weird their experience sounds. “Anyway, I’m Gabby! What’s your name? And yours?” She wondered cheerfully, questioning Zayn as well now.
As she waited for an answer, the teenager heard and turned her attention back to Seraphina. “Hmm. Yeah, but what do you think it is? They’re acting nice enough I think, and we did just kind of barge into their house.” She murmured. Gabby took another moment to peer around at the interior of the entryway, only stopping to chuckle at what her friend said about them having a story. “You can say that again.” Her eyes shifted back to the guy who seemed to be arguing with Kenzie, raising her eyebrows, and then to the guy speaking with Tyler. She didn’t quite believe it when a bit of moonlight found its way through the window and seemed to go right through him. Releasing Seraphina’s hand from her own and then using it to point to the ghost, Gabriella whispered, “hey uh... are you seeing that..?”

Nikolav Weiss // 17 // werewolf // feeling: tired // tags: mansion front, Viti, Everest
Nikolav’s tail wagged as Viti seemed to understand what he was trying to get across, although as soon as s/he had left, the werewolf felt a anxiety stir in his chest. Viti didn’t seem the type to want to scare the humans, and since they were one of the residents that Niko was closer with, he hoped that they would help him get the humans out of the mansion. In the short amount of time in which he was alone and waiting for the Neko to return, the platinum blond pondered what would have happened if he hadn’t been turned into a werewolf. Would he have been one of those kids stuck in the mansion right now? His old personality was definitely one that was more daring and adventure-loving, so he bet we would’ve. No, actually, it was his and only his fault that those teens were in there now- and he was willing to take responsibility to get them back out.
He gave a shaky sigh, though instantly perked up-and wagged his tail again when the part-feline came back with a black t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and a bowl of water. Although the wolf couldn’t exactly give an answer, he did happily lick Viti’s cheeks and nose. Nikolav would be extremely embarrassed if he were in any other form than his current one, but as a wolf his reaction just seemed natural. He stopped after a moment to dip his snout into the bowl of water, but quickly took it out and whirled around at the crunch of more footsteps. It was a human from the pattern, but not someone large enough to be a threat, he didn’t think. Luckily his recovery from the pepper spray was quite quick, and although his nose and eyes were still irritated, he could still use them somewhat.
The newcomer seemed to be another human, late to the party. But that wasn’t a bad thing. Niko gave a soft whine to make her aware of their presence. Oh how he wished he could talk last a wolf! If his transformation back to a human wasn’t quite so grotesque (or embarrassing), then he might’ve done it now that his clothing was there, but for some reason he didn’t think such a sight would do anything but make this poor girl run far far away. Nikolav thought carefully as Everest quite literally backed herself into the wall.
The canine turned his head to look up at Viti, giving them a bark before hesitantly approaching the ‘human’. If they could communicate, and if she was willing to risk quite a bit to get her classmates out, then maybe she would help them? The werewolf was quite sure that some of the humans wouldn’t trust a neko and a random guy to get them out of a mysterious mansion, but maybe someone they knew could do it. Providing the other residents didn’t do anything drastic to anyone before they would get that opportunity.
In approaching Everest, Nikolav had been too preoccupied with his pepper sprayed senses to remember that he was a Large White wolf with quite a few bloodstains around his front half from his last meal. And, tired and already used to Viti’s gentleness, he was pretty forward about padding up and pressing his nose to the back of the hands on her face. Just as he had tried to talk to Viti previously, Niko yipped out a “Relp rus?” Before looking back to Viti and wagging his tail.
