Beth tumbles to a stop. He sits up, coughing violently and clutching at a bruise on his side from his sudden collision with the floor.
Beth glances to the door as he spots movement. With one last cough, he manages to force a breath into his lungs. He looks like a wreck, with a pain-twisted expression and clothes soaked right through, dripping onto the carpet. He doesn't attempt a greeting.
Hannah peeks into the room where Beth is. She looks sort of slightly fearful but also concerned. Beth can see that Hannah seems to be wet all over, she tries to avoid the water as she slowly steps into the room. "You alright...?"

Apparently this is what some of my friends think of me here:

Beth gingerly wrings out his braid with both hands, but doesn't respond, save for a small shake of the head. He slowly gathers himself into a sitting position on the floor.

She did a concerned nod there. "So...why don't we get out here and see whats going on about this place? I...haven't got a clue whats going on here..." she says, offering to help him up.

He grabs her hand, pulling himself to his feet. Instead of following, he glances back, looking over the floor.
It only takes him a few seconds to find what he's looking for: a sodden cardboard box, flung against one of the walls. With unnecessary care, he lifts the box off the ground, settles in one of the chairs, and starts ripping the tape off the water-weakened cardboard.

She smiled slightly as he grabbed her hand there, she walked over to the cardboard box. She helped him out with opening the thing up, even though it appears that he has got it.

Apparently this is what some of my friends think of me here:
The girl sighs in relief.
"Those that put me here and cut me in half... they're still around somewhere."
The girl looks scared as she looks Piper over, taking notice of the axe she's carrying.
"I really don't want to stay here to see what they'll do to me next, please get me out of here!"
Piper looks at the girls scared expression. "Okay, I'll..." She then remembers she's speaking to someone who's been cut in half. "Can... Can you move at all? You don't, er... Mind if I... Um..." She gestures back and forth between the girl's... well, halves.
"Hm... some sort of manual, perhaps...?" He contemplates the contents of the book, shutting it and lifting it again for a moment before deciding to slide it back under the bed. Too heavy to carry around, and he can't be bothered to rip out what contents he can understand- probably best to keep it all in order anyways, and it'd all most likely end up get mixed along with the other papers he has on him. He makes a mental note of its location, should its contents come in handy later, and continues south out the room into the unexplored section of the winding hallway.
Leaving the room, Leon can see that the Hallway makes yet another curve, this time to the right. There is also one other door in sight.
Edgar engages in a staring contest with the eyeballs before frowning and turning his attention to the jars. He opens a jar with a carrot inside and briefly sniffs it, taking in the aroma-- he was a food connoisseur, after all, so he would be able to ascertain as to whether anything was off about it. Having ensured that nothing is off about the carrot, he takes a bite out of it and heads through the northern door, carrot still in hand. Time was of essence, and a few jars of pickled onions and eyes were not interesting enough for him to stay put.
Taking the North door leads him into what appears to be the main basement room. There are a few boxes in one of the corner, along with a safe. There are two doors, though neither is labeled.
Jaxton waits for it to hit the door one last time, then makes a blind run back to the altar where he started
Jaxton manages to run all the way back to the Altar, only to find the altar covered in fresh blood while the candles have been extinguished, smoke still rising from them.
Piper looks at the girls scared expression. "Okay, I'll..." She then remembers she's speaking to someone who's been cut in half. "Can... Can you move at all? You don't, er... Mind if I... Um..." She gestures back and forth between the girl's... well, halves.
The girl shakes her head. "If I could move, I'd have gotten out of here already, but without legs that's a bit of an issue..."
The girl tilts her head sideways a bit as Piper gestures at her lower half, and sighs. "I don't think those are much use anymore unless you know some way to re-attach them. As much as I don't like the prospect of not having a lower half of my body for the rest of my life, I think trying to have a life is still the best possible option, so I think we should just leave it behind..."
He grabs her hand, pulling himself to his feet. Instead of following, he glances back, looking over the floor.
It only takes him a few seconds to find what he's looking for: a sodden cardboard box, flung against one of the walls. With unnecessary care, he lifts the box off the ground, settles in one of the chairs, and starts ripping the tape off the water-weakened cardboard.
Eventually, Beth manages to tear off all the tape, allowing him to open the box, though he is interrupted by a scream, echoing throughout the mansion, one loud enough to be heard by everyone in the building...
Leaving the room, Leon can see that the Hallway makes yet another curve, this time to the right. There is also one other door in sight.
Looking between the doorway and the unexplored curve, and thinking about the doors he still has yet to try earlier in the hallway, Leon contemplates which way to go before deciding to take the door on the southern wall. Before he can open it, though, he looks around as he hears the scream echoing through the building. "Definitely not alone..." Shaking off the surprise from the scream, he goes through the door. If it fails to open, he continues following the hallway.

Beth jumps. The box tumbles from its perch on his knees, falling to the floor.

Hannah looked to Beth with a worried look on her face when she heard the scream. "We should...probably run and go hide or something." she suggests, reaching down to fully peel the tape off the box.
Braun runs into a small, barely decorated bedroom. It has a simple bed, and a large mirror, though someone has taken lots of effort to cover it's surface with duct-tape, meaning it doesn't function.
"Well...."
Now that the aforementioned horrifying thoughts in his head were subsiding, Braun found himself a little bemused by the mirror status in this place. Obviously someone around here had some self image issues. Anything more than that would be further speculation at this point, so he didn't dwell on the matter too much. He takes a not so immersed look around then heads for the only other door available and opens it up. His blade is still securely in hand.
The girl shakes her head. "If I could move, I'd have gotten out of here already, but without legs that's a bit of an issue..."

"Well..." Piper remembers the bottle in her pocket. "I do have this... whatever this is. It might be a long shot, but there are a bunch of other potiony things in that room over there, if you recognize anything..." That thought causes Piper to wonder... well, everything about this girl and her relation to this place. Would she even know any more than her? "Who are you, anyway? How did you even get here?"
Looking between the doorway and the unexplored curve, and thinking about the doors he still has yet to try earlier in the hallway, Leon contemplates which way to go before deciding to take the door on the southern wall. Before he can open it, though, he looks around as he hears the scream echoing through the building. "Definitely not alone..." Shaking off the surprise from the scream, he goes through the door. If it fails to open, he continues following the hallway.
As Leon turns the hallway, he spots a woman going through the second door to his right. The rest of the hallway has a total of four doors.
Hannah looked to Beth with a worried look on her face when she heard the scream."We should...probably run and go hide or something." she suggests, reaching down to fully peel the tape off the box.
In the box is a strange device, about the size of a backpack, complete with straps for putting it on one's back, though it's purpose is a mystery.
Marion sighs, and simply moves one door down to the left and tries opening that one.
Marion arrives in a large, fancy lounge. Compared to the rest of the dark building, this room is well-kept and well-lit. There is one other door in this room.

Braun enters a well-organized Library/Study with several bookshelves, and a desk with a chair. On the desk lies a large book, and there is one other door.
While Braun doesn't see anyone else in the room, he gets the feeling that there is somebody else here.
"Well..." Piper remembers the bottle in her pocket. "I do have this... whatever this is. It might be a long shot, but there are a bunch of other potiony things in that room over there, if you recognize anything..." That thought causes Piper to wonder... well, everything about this girl and her relation to this place. Would she even know any more than her? "Who are you, anyway? How did you even get here?"
"A potion? ...I don't think that would do much good unless it somehow causes me to regrow my legs or something. It'd be worth a shot if there wasn't the risk of deadly side-effects."
The girl sighs, but smiles as Piper asks for her name. "My name is Sune, as for how I got here..." Sune's smile fades as she looks to the ground. "I don't know, and I don't think you know how you got here either. I just woke up in some building outside and started wandering around, though eventually these... cultists caught me, brought me to her, and cut me in half and left. You showed up not shortly after, so they might still be around..."
Sune looks around the room for a bit, and then turns back to Piper. "By the way, what's your name?"

Sune looks around the room for a bit, and then turns back to Piper. "By the way, what's your name?"
Piper puts the bottle back into her pocket. Sune is right, it's best not to take any risks. Then she realizes she was asked a question. "Huh? Oh, I'm Piper. And yeah, I don't really remember how I got here either. I woke up inside the building, so..." She tries to put the stories together in her mind. The more details, the closer she'd be to finding out what this place is. "Hey, if we both ended up here, maybe there are others? We might be able to find out more if we find them..." Piper glances to the exits. "Well, if they really are still around... then I guess we shouldn't stay here. It probably isn't safe..."
Wow, she thinks. I'll have to check back on this. She immediately turns back and exits the lounge.
Immediately afterward she turns right and looks into the last door in the hallway.

Beth slings the device over one shoulder as he stands up in a particularly determined manner. He waves a hand at Hannah, gesturing for her to follow as he opens the southern door.

Hannah follows Beth to the southern door. Once the door is opened she walks in and looks around the place.
