• You're wearing either a butler outfit or a maid outfit—whichever one you would be most (or not-least) comfortable in.
• The goal, should your character choose to acknowledge it, is to "pretend to be a servant" and explore as many rooms as possible—this is innate knowledge. Exploring is the same as Betrayal—rooms aren't traditionally "exploradora'd" but instead "entered and now you engage with an item or NPC or event."
• That's right, this is kinda Betrayal! You have stats and will be prompted to roll dice on many occasions. To roll dice: type .roll xD3-x into #dicebot on discord, where x is the stat you're rolling for. For example, attempting a Sanity roll if you have 2 Sanity means you're inputting .roll2D3-2.
• Taking "mental/physical" damage is a little different—here you will fill in boxes on the stat sheet when you take damage. If you take 1 mental damage, you'll fill in the first box in the "mental" bar. Take some more mental damage? Fill in another. If all four boxes of either bar are filled (including the skull,) you are not KILLED but instead punished in accordance with the bar you've maxed out. While you can suffer minor injury and annoyance while traversing the mansion, these particular punishments tend to be much crueler. CLICK FOR A VISUAL EXAMPLE OF TAKING DAMAGE.
• Your stat sheets are here and, as an fyi, your unit powers are on.
NOTE: This mansion is not the House of Mirth—it's a mansion, but not that mansion.

You come to in the Bloody Hallway. It's decorated with elegant things—and blood. Lots of it. Stains and puddles galore. The odor of iron is nearly unbearable. You watch as one maid, who looks suspiciously like Silence, attempts to mop some of the fresher blood, only to quickly depart with her mop and bucket in defeat.
You yourself are holding a mop, as if you had been trying to clean the room yourself just moments ago.
> Attempt a Sanity roll.

You come to in the Interrogation Room. A lone wooden table, lit by the swinging lamp overhead in this otherwise dark room, is the clear focal point.
Both of you sit next to one another, on one side of the table.
The chair on the opposite side of the table is occupied by none other than... Jyanta. His plush paws are pressed together, like he'd be clasping his hands together if he had fingers.
"Hello. Now that you two are listening, will you please answer at least one question?"
((OOC NOTE: Every attempt to lie in this room requires a Sanity roll. As long as you roll higher than 4, you can successfully make that lie. Failure means you end up spilling the beans without being able to stop yourself—or being unable to say anything at all, but I'll leave this to player discretion for whatever's more fun.))

You come to in the Torture Chamber. This room is full of bloodied torture equipment and weapons. However, it all merely adorns the wall and seems to sit around as decoration. A bit odd, given the potential owner, but as it's all hanging alongside medals and trophies, you get the feeling it's a fucked up badge of pride.
You've not a second to waste when you're suddenly pulled into the nearby iron maiden—you feel the nails on your skin.
> Attempt a Might roll.

You enter the Drawing Room. It looks like the best place to withdraw yourself from the world, at least, for someone according to Victorian times. You have a dessert tray of sweets, plush seating, a fire to keep you warm, some lovely paintings…
And yet, no matter how serene and picturesque this room looks, you can't ignore the disquieting sounds that get louder and louder in succession. First a lonely wail, followed by a scream, then the breaking of glass until you're met with simply silence—which is almost as unnerving as the sounds before it.

You come to in the Meeting Room. Several maids, who all look like Silence with either shorter or longerhair, and Jyanta, are busily discussing something important around a conference table—judging from the piles of papers, it concerns Song or Symphony, but they fall still when you awaken.
Even though you're sitting at the head of this table.
But, unhelpfully, your cell phone rings before you can do anything else.

[she will be disgruntled about the whole sudden maid outfit thing later because for now there's a phone call to pick up!]
Hello???
Hello???
[He’s immediately covering his nose from the smell, trying not to gag. But he saw something more important.]
Silencchi...?
[Rolled a 4!]
Silencchi...?
[Rolled a 4!]
[ WHY ARE MY LITERAL FIRST MOMENTS IN THIS PLACE THIS,
Eclipse immediately tries to bust out of the iron maiden, with a roll of 6 might.]

[HEY WHY IS THE ROBOT BEAR TALKING]
Can you explain why you're speaking first?
Can you explain why you're speaking first?
You steel yourself as well as you can... but "Silencchi" doesn't acknowledge you—rather, she doesn't respond to that name as she makes to leave the room.
A chipper, cutsie voice much unlike Silence's rings out from behind you.
"Oh, this is really really scary!"

[He spins around quickly, his demeanor completely changing into a defensive one.]
"This is a very weighted question, I'm afraid I don't know how I talk!"
He leans foward.
"Can you explain, please, why you're asking me a question?"
He leans foward.
"Can you explain, please, why you're asking me a question?"
You overpower the mechanism, pushing the door open without taking any threatening damage from its long nails.
A voice from overhead sighs.
"Awww, you did that WAY too well!"

I could, but why does a question about a question require an explanation?
It's unnerving, but you've handled worse. Probably very true.
You realize it sounded like Song, and find a ribbon at your feet that wasn't there before.

"Helloooooooo, excuse me, do you have a moment? Or did I catch you at a bad time?"
The voice sounds familiar.

It's Jyanta. Just Jyanta.
"Wildfire! Oh, you have such good timing. Or maybe I'm the one with the good timing?"
"Wildfire! Oh, you have such good timing. Or maybe I'm the one with the good timing?"
"Because I'm the one interrogating you!"

Oh. Jyantacchi! Are you okay? Is Silencchi okay? What's going on here?
