So everyone thank Bilbo for wrecking the ship. If you aren't too busy helping the girl on the bed, you can travel inward to a small village nestled in the woods not too far from the lake.

[Mission: Rest up.]

[shut up hook, you can only assume that hook says something stupid within every turn]

Wouldn't hurt.

[butgrandma]

[sits on edge of well and listens]

[to the colors of the wind]

The water is too loud. But I smell something roasting from that direction.

[frogface]

Wonder if they're she sharing type.

[he's hungry okay]

[wriggles gun out of the back of his pants and checks the clip. now it just looks like we're going to rob them. maybe. but protection]

[butgrandma]

What are you doing!

[are you going to pistol whip steak out of them put your gun away]

[frogface]

Sweetheart, let me make one thing clear about this place: It always bloody goes the opposite way you want it to go.

Now, I'd rather be ready for the worst than find myself face in the dirt bleeding out because we decided to hopsy daisy over to a trove of bandits. Wouldn't you?

[loads clip]

[butgrandma]

Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot.

[shes special not stupid]

Just keep it down. I don't want to scare the pants off of a poor old lady, especially if they're our only chance of getting back to the lake.

[frogface]

They'd probably think it was a bacon press, they're so dense around here.

[grumbles and keeps gun down]

[lead the way missy]

[butgrandma]

[off to grandmothers house we go]
[pulls hood up and leads them around to a little cottage in the middle of literally nowhere that's quiet except for smoke coming out of the chimney and the overwhelming smell of sizzling meat]

[frogface]

[godthatsmellssogood. itsprobablyhumans]

Looks like you're right.

[follows closely behind, looking around for any sort of trail they should be following later]

[butgrandma]

There's smoke. Someone's home.

[self preservation what? knocks on the door]

Excuse me, please, can you help us??

[frogface]

[keeps gun hidden and stands off to the side]

[iforgotthepassword]

[the door slowly opens on its own when ruby bangs on it]

[frogface]

[edges closer to the frame]

Ello? Anyone home?

[butgrandma]

[you want to take point there gunman?]

[exchanges a wary glance with him before pushing the door the rest of the way in]

[iforgotthepassword]

[there's a fire going in the fireplace with some meat boiling in a huge pot and a dinner table is set but no one seems to be around]

[frogface]

[everyone else stay outside]

[winds inward and slides cautiously into the cottage once ruby's edged it open enough. just a quick comb through, it's prob not too big of a place to tell no one is around]

Looks clear. Maybe they're in the area...

[getting wood. or maybe they're dead]

[iforgotthepassword]

[lets go to the kitchen]

[iforgotthepassword]

[omfg]

[butgrandma]

[leaning over the pot while owen checks shit out]

This smells disgusting.

[frogface]

[edging through doors with a gun and shit]

[he's watched too much csi]

[looks over shoulder]

Anything distinguishable or is it just a gob of fleshy mush?

[isithumans, he's done the whole hills have eyes bit before]

[butgrandma]

What do you mean? It's meat. It smells a little like pork. God, it's awful in here, do you smell that?

[like, overwhelmingly awful]
[pokes it with the ladle]

[iforgotthepassword]

[isnt it always humans]

[the kitchen looks like a butcher shop. every surface is covered in blood and swarming flies. it does indeed smell fucking awful because there are chopped up torsos and innards hanging around like christmas decorations]

[frogface]

[yep.....yepyepyepyep]

[holds hands up with one gun in hand like. nope. he's done]

The bloody country, I swear.

[turns around and lets door slip shut]

We'd better move along, quick as possible.

[iforgotthepassword]

[but shes lonely]

[pops up in front of him]

You could stay.

[butgrandma]

Owen?

[still touching things in the living room bcus but turns around when she hears someone else]
