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.]

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]

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

[frogface]

[cfdsljfs christ]

[jumps around to the sound of her voice. points gun at]

No thanks, a girl like you should watch her figure..

[iforgotthepassword]

[slams door shut between kitchen and living room and bolts it]

[bye ruby]

You'll hurt my feelings.

[butgrandma]

[oops]

[shoooot heeeeeeeeeeeeeer]

Owen!

[door banging, etc]

[frogface]

I'm fine!

[i can handle this]

[takes a look around briefly, keeping crazy cottage witch in sights]

Hansel and Gretel is a bit overplayed, innit? I'm not a kid, and look at me. Skin and bones. Drink and eat a ton of shit, I promise you I taste horrible.

[iforgotthepassword]

I don't want to eat you.

[facecreaks and takes a step toward him. her reflection catches on some pots and pans hanging over the island. shes an ugly bitch.]

I want you to love me.

[frogface]

[doesnt quite move just yet]

I'm sorry?

[sees ugly mc distortion and then stumbles a little into a hanging torso and then shifts out of the way as it swings meatily]

You want me to love you?
