The Longest Night of the Year
Gert
"I knew I could count on you, Mr. Wakeman!" She strides on towards the kitchen. Now that she's not alone anymore, things don't seem as scary. Though there are A LOT of shadows about. Must be light reflecting off of the windows or something.

For a split second she stiffens, thinking that red eyes are watching her. But when she takes another look, she notices it's just a blinking red light in the upper corner of the hallway. Probably one of Amelie's contraptions. She shrugs and carries on.

When she gets to the stairs leading down, she looks around. No Yazeba in sight. Great! She's always wanted to do this! "Hey Mr. Wakeman. Have you ever done this before?" She asks and hops her bum up onto the stair's railing to slide down it. She had seen Hey Kid do it plenty of times and get yelled at plenty of times because of it too. Now it was her time. With way more confidence that she should have right now, she glides her way down.

I think Gertrude realizes that she won't be a teenager anymore soon. Surrounded by so many grown-ups she is aware of the fact that she too will have to take on responsibilities and do grown-up things.

In her deepest self it scares her to death! She hasn't even really figured out how to be a teenager yet. No way she's ready to be an adult.

Edmund smiles wanly at Gertrude as he recalls the tragic consequences meted out to some of those who have come to rely on him.

He is unaware of the carmine eye of Amelie's camera watching and probing him, instead lost in his own memories.

The next thing he realizes, Gertrude is calling his name and then sliding daringly down the bannister to the first floor. His mouth opens to call out "Be careful!" but no words escape.

Instead, he sees that a spirit of woe has rushed ahead of Gertrude on the stairs and has maliciously weakened the bannister supports. Its gnarled talons have scored and scratched the wood, causing it to buckle and break as Gertrude slides to the end, ready to dismount onto the first floor landing.

He rushes to the top of the stairs just in time to see Gertrude crash to the ground amidst the broken shards of the bannister.
OOC:
Edmund's secret is that his evil spirits manifested before Elaine died. And he worries that he caused her death.

Also, Bingo: Watch in horror as the spectres that haunt me cause needless destruction.

As the banister breaks and Gertrude tumbles, the dark shadows lengthen and begin to dance and cavort about. A horde of bizarre phantoms emerge. The Night Danse has come!
OOC:
There are only 4 cards in the Night Danse pile right now, so let's keep this to just Edmund and Gertrude. Both of them must either do a Bingo or Whoopsie to no avail, then the Night Danse moves on.

Edmund bounds down the stairs after Gertrude, hoping to find her safe. But his poor coordination causes him to stumble over his own feet near the bottom of the stairs as the bizarre phantoms spring to unlife in the Night Danse. He ends up sprawled on the floor close to Gertrude instead of helping her up. "I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, Elaine! I mean Gertrude..."

Whoopsie: Fail a physical task with my soft scholarly hands.

Gertrude is crying while she lays on the ground clutching her leg. "It hurts." She tells Edmund, and keeps crying.

The night danse spirits move in to surround her, making her world dark and lonely.
Gert

"This is the worst night ever!" She says between teardrops. "I just wanted to sleep, but this house doesn't want to let me. And then I just wanted some cookies but I can't even get to the kitchen." She sounds as if she's lost all hope. "Why do I even stay here? Nobody wants me here. There's no room for me. Everyone hates meeeeeee!" Her words turn to sobs.
OOC:
Whoopsie: Assume the worst of what's going on.
No effect, this is for the night danse.

Edmund and Gertrude cower before the spirits on parade, but before they know it, the creatures have gone. The B&B is quiet again. A little too quiet...
Hey Kid frowns as the realization hits them. Gertrude just had a birthday recently. That means she's getting older. And getting older means growing up. One day, Hey Kid will have to grow up, too. What will that be like? They've been a kid for as long as they can remember. That's all they know how to be.

"No! No, no, no! I'm not ready to grow up! I'm not READY!" they wail. "Dog, Dog, n'Dog! Where are YOU?!? Where is ANYBODY?!?" they cry. They begin to bang on the walls, suddenly overcome with grief and loneliness!
OOC:
Whoopsie: Have an enormous meltdown. Red Omen: Three of Hearts, Three of Spades, Ace of Clubs, Ten of Clubs, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, Two of Spades, Three of Diamonds, Ten of Diamonds, Seven of Clubs, Two of Hearts. The other cards are not added to the Night Danse pile!

@Dmbrainiac, didn't we reveal 2 aces in a row? Because in that case the second is ignored. The non-omen cards don't count, right?

You're correct. I edited my previous post and changed Hey Kid's Bingo to a Whoopsie. And now:
The warm glow of a comforting flame illuminates the foyer as Amelie arrives on the scene! They see Edmund and Gertrude cowering on the floor.

Amelie sees Edmund is not the cause of the strangeness… and Gertrude melting down like this breaks her…
OOC:
BINGO ⭐️ Process a feeling not in your index: having a…
Well…

Amelie knows they do not have a heart, but humans do, and they think they should set a good example.

"Gertrude. No one hates you. You are my dear friend, and it pains me to see you like this."

They are afraid to give Gertrude a comforting hug. She may not want that. That, and a robo-maid’s arms are designed to wrap around a boulder and crush it into gravel. (How else would one get a boulder out of a driveway?)

Instead, she offers her hand.

GRIP OPTIONS:
BOULDER-CRUSH (OFF)
NANNY-MODE (ON)

Should Gert take Amelie’s hand, she will find it gentle and warm.

Gerttrude is already in a bad state at this point. She can hear Amelie's words, but they don't hit home. In fact they cause the opposite effect. That's teenagers for you... She gets up, still crying from the painful leg, lack of sleep and horrible ghosts. "You don't understand!" She shouts at Amelie and Edmund. "Just leave me alone! I don't need your help."
Gert

With a bit of a limp she runs off down the hallway and disappears in the darkness.
