event: break-in

[mayfield_mods]

[Anyone who drops by the dairy between the hours of three PM and five PM on Tuesday will find that the door's been unlocked. Even though the door's shut, there's a strange humming sound coming from inside the building.

Careful if you want to try to peek inside, though. You may not like what you find.]

[Shifting the cake to balance it in one hand, Dad walks up and opens the door, stepping aside to hold it open for his wife like a classy gent.]

After you, my dear.

[He'll be following right behind her when she goes in.]

[pinkscarflady]

Why thank you.

[She enters the dairy, glancing around curiously.]

So this is the fabled 'Mayfield Dairy.' I must say, it's not really what I was expecting...

[mayfield_mods]

[It's extremely dark and cold within, enough that they won't be able to see much other than their breath materializing in the air. The humming seems to be coming from a corner deep within.]

[Dad reaches into his pocket for his lighter - it's going to have to do for now. Passing it off to Mom, he keeps a tight grip on that cake and his wits about him as they step inside.]

I'm not sure what I was expecting, to be honest.

Hint: It was vampire cows...

[pinkscarflady]

[She quickly finishes the martini, and accepts the lighter with her newly free hand, shining it around for a better look.]

I'd tell you what I was expecting, but I'd rather not give them any ideas.

[The lighter doesn't do much to reveal anything of interest and seems to illuminate even less of the darkness than it normally would.]

[busy_fists]

Hmm... kinda makes me wish we brought a flashlight. Oh well, guess it's too late for that now. Stick close by.

[Dad keeps pressing forward, slowly but surely.]

[pinkscarflady]

[She nods, and follows him closely.]

I don't think we're going to have much time. Let's see what we can find.

[The machine humming in the back is glowing, surrounded by some sort of force field]
