The family catches up with the caretaker, matching his brisk pace.''This is much more exercise that I was expecting to get." Nathaniel sighs "What's your hurry?" he ask

Claire eyes the cat suspiciously as they pass it and quickens her steps but otherwise ignores it and follows Nathaniel, letting him take the lead in speaking to the caretaker for now.

Nathaniel says to the Caretaker "Uhm, Sorry to keep troubling you, but we have so many questions, and so few answers . . " Nathaniel finally notices that the Caretaker is standing in a large closet looking at various dresses. He then he stops to see where they actually are, a large beautifully decorated bedroom. Like many other rooms in the manor, it doesn't look as if it's been used in years. "Alright, another question then: Whose room is this?"

Alexander holds up one of the dresses and grimaces. "Someone with... ancien tastes, I presume."

The Caretaker
It takes you no time to find the Caretaker in a large beautifully decorated bedroom. Strangely, you don't seem to have no memory off it. Probably one of the many old abandoned rooms you have never had a reason to go into. Even as children you didn't really explore all the corners of the manor... "Ah there you are!" The man turns to Claire, having just taken a beautiful old dress of incalculable value. "Mmm... what do you think? No, maybe not this one..."
The looks to Nathaniel before turning to the closet and continue his search. "The hurry? Oh! It's miss Claire's birthday tonight! The family has a very special surprise for her." He stops as Alexander comments on the decor. "Ancien bien sur. One of the most well preserved rooms in the manor! This was the room of Lady Greyrose herself". He pull out another dress from the closet and places between himself and Claire, trying to imagine how it would fit. "Ah! This one would be perfect!

Claire's face turns thoughtful for a moment. "You're right," she says. "It is my birthday. I... I forgot."
She then raises her eyebrow at the fancy and old-fashioned dress. It doesn't match her style or preferences in the slightest. "There is no way I'm wearing that," she says stubbornly. "I have a dress of my own. Or I'll just wear pants." She's certain that last part is going to upset the caretaker, but she hopes - against reason - that her family will back her up on the idea. "Besides, why do you even care so much about my birthday?"

"Fair question," Alexander agrees. "And these clothes are more likely to kill us from sneezing than to make for a happy birthday celebration."

OOC:
This would be the first birthday you remember since you were children, given you all moved away from the manor fairly young.Jun 13, 2023 12:43 pm
Nathaniel hesitates a bit before he ask "I didnt receive an invitation to a birthday party. Which family members are coming that arent already here?" ' and are they all still living? he feels to embarrassed to ask aloud.

'Elias'
OOC:
Sorry about all the ongoing events xD Unfortunately, only Elias talks with ghosts, so you don't really know about the ball :(going to start the build up for the final conflict. Elias got 2 successes dealing with the Knights so that means you're off the hook on that thread :D

"Elias!" Claire calls out. She immediately feels better upon hearing her big brother's voice and rather than consider his words first and try to figure out what he's referring to, she quickly moves towards where she heard his voice. Maybe he will be able to talk some sense into this caretaker!

Claire immediately recognizes "the witches"
Jun 21, 2023 12:22 pm
Claire walks up to her brother and stands next to him, facing the three witches and taking some time to look all of them over. "I saw you talking to my grandfather," she then tells them. "Who are you? What do you want here?" She stops speaking briefly, waiting for them to answer, before realizing her own rudeness and adding, "My name is Claire Rookwood and this is my family home."

Twilight

After you heard those words, you have the sudden claustrophobic sensation, a feeling the manor itself is surrounded by shadows, the halls are darker than they were at Riverlight Manor, even the air feels heavier now...

Alexander hovers behind Claire, unwilling to let her alone after the disturbing vision in the tree.
OOC:
I realize it's cutting off another potential clue stream, but Alexander wouldn't leave Claire alone among potential murderers.load next
