[ A: Setup ]
[ Why... whatever could Bruce and Steve be doing hauling this very large box up the road? They canβt possibly be moving out, can they? ]
[ B: Phone ]
[ There seems to be a distressed voice on the other end... a distressed voice that is extremely overacted and melodramatic. Thereβs some sort of ambient noise playing in the background that sounds oddly like a recording, and someone keeps breathing into the phone to make it sound like static. Theyβre not very good at making this sound realistic. ]
Itβs Dr. Banner... itβs awful...! I canβt save him on my own. I need your help. Meet me at 627 Topper!
--Oh, are you doing it already? Ahh, help me! Iβm being kidnapped by ghosts! And... evil scientists! And some witches I guess. Only you and anyone else in the neighborhood can save me!
[ C: Entrance ]
[ Upon approaching the house, there seems to be a scarecrow on the front porch. It seems like a dummy until she smiles and offers you crazy kids some lemonade with a drop of grenadine in it (some sort of jokes about drones and dummies goes here). When you're inside, there are sheets hanging up all over the place to look like ghosts, along with pumpkins and really fake-looking rubber bats and cotton balls stretched out to look like cobweb. There are arrows leading you in the right direction. But before you get that far, one very disheveled-looking Steve stands in your way. ]
Thank goodness youβre here! Heβs upstairs. Hurry, we donβt have long. And watch out for the witch...!
[ D: The Kitchen ]
[ In the kitchen, theyβve dimmed the lights and hung fake cobwebs everywhere, along with inaccurately-drawn hammer-and-sickle posters. A big book has a piece of paper taped over the title to read THE EVERYDAY COMMUNIST WITCHβS COOKBOOK: IβLL GET YOU, MY COMRADE, AND YOUR LITTLE FREEDOM TOO! Thereβs a pot of green water (literally just water and food dye) bubbling on the stove, with another drone wife dressed in a black witch costume and hat. Should you enter, sheβll smile and offer you finger food, and then make some obviously-rehearsed comment about what an evil communist she is. ]
[ E: The Landing ]
[ Thereβs a blacklight up here so you might be glowing if youβre wearing white, or if you smile... The walls are covered in dark paper from the hardware store, save for a few cutouts made to look like eyes peering on. Thereβs also a large stuffed doll out here, much too cute to be a monster, holding up a sign that says βHEβS OVER THEREβ in extremely spooky font. There are sounds coming from within a room at the end of the hall, but youβll have to get through some darkness first... ]
[ F: Upstairs ]
[ The hallway up to the bedroom is rigged so lines of sheetghosts on rope move as you pass, and theyβve managed to get ahold of some dry ice. The skeleton from the high-school science class is there, but theyβve wrapped him in a labcoat to make it less frightening. Only one door is open, and it looks like theyβve set it up like a lab. Thereβs a stereotypical setup of strange-looking liquids in scientific jars on a metal table, with a very fake-looking dummy on an operating table covered in a sheet. There are labeled bowls of skinned grapes and cold spaghetti to serve as fake eyes and brains-- but they donβt look too realistic, because that would be a little too scary! Ignoring the laboratory stuff, this room appears to be Steveβs bedroom, and it doesnβt look like they put much effort into hiding it. Bruce is hiding not-so-subtly in the closet. ]
