It is said that many used to come and go from this building, using it as a form of refuge, but one day after a certain incident the place was completely deserted. Little is known about the place even today, and few dare to venture in those dark, lifeless hallways. None have returned the same either. Different accounts of the place come with very different descriptions, but the similarities they share are: Someone will die You will end up alone but you are [i]never[/i] alone... This year, the Creek participants are to embark on a journey into the cold, dark structure and solve the mysteries behind the Haustel... or die trying. Running from the vicinity would also mean disqualification, but that is if they are allowed to leave once they enter... Their accommodations have been shifted here as well for the past week, together with Ivy, their mandatory landlord, and 2 other dragons currently residing in there, Zircon and Zhech. So far nothing much has transpired yet, and for the most part the 12 of them are really getting along. Or so it seems.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 1[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [b]Announcer: [/b]Well! Haustel always experiences a strange phenomenon that prevents the land it's on from ever experiencing daylight, yet the hardy plants in the garden seem to be unaffected. Moving on! We have-- /bzzt/ [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Creeaak... the door's wide open... Come one, come all, don't be shy... One with glamour and one who burns... Come everyone else, kiss your homes goodbye... [/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- Haustel has 27 rooms, counting from A to Z, spread across its 4 towers. They link together at the middle, once at the garden below and another at the Hall above, which holds many rundown facilities that suggests that the place was once quite luxurious. [b]Peel[/b], [b]Luiza[/b] and [b]Supernatural[/b] share room C in tower 1. This energetic trio are always itching to do something, and fearlessly explored most of their tower and some of the rooms in the Hall. [b]Cornelius[/b], [b]Kuroko[/b] and [b]Sela[/b] share room H in tower 2. The 3 of them are extremely quiet, and never much interacted with one another. It did not help that this was also the most rundown tower of them all. [b]Astra[/b], [b]Cathaoir[/b] and [b]Majir[/b] share room O in tower 3. Astra has since clung on to Majir due to her immense fear of everything, even Cathaoir, although Majir eventually got along with her as well. [b]Mallory[/b], [b]Muskrat[/b] and [b]Charlotte[/b] share room W in tower 4. Mallory and Carlotte immediately hit it off with their similar backgrounds, but are more afraid of living under the same roof with the oblivious Muskrat than the potential horrors of the structure itself. Zircon and Zhech live in rooms V and B respectively. Zircon gets irritated by the new residents quickly, but is usually too lazy to do anything about it. Zhech finds bliss watching the fiery ones dart around and got along well with the 3 in tower 1. Meanwhile, Ivy resides in the spacious lounge in the Hall. ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Once the clock strikes, things will stir... Without a trace, just a blur... One will strike out and disappear... While it begins, the horror, the fear... [/font][/size][/b][/center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vum1dQL.png[/img] ----- Pinglist was here.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 2[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]A feather, slowly, drifted down... Something dark rose from the ground... In the peace a scream was heard... One burnt down, completely seared... [/font][/b][/size][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Tower 3, room R[/b][/size] As everyone rushed over to investigate the scream, they started to smell that of burning flesh. Searching the rooms, they eventually found [b]Astra[/b] sobbing beside a dead skydancer. Her face was completely burnt off, and the rest of her body was still slightly sizzling. The room had charred walls, as though something blew up, yet no explosion was heard. The sobbing Astra lay there, weak with fear and despair. [b]Supernatural[/b] quickly noticed a piece of paper that was about to completely burn away, with the words "You deserve it" burnt through it. At first sight it seemed like fire burning the paper, but on closer inspection, it wasn't fire. It was [i]blood[/i]. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YdogAGJ.png[/img] ----- Pinglist was here.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 3[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Seek, and you shall find... But always look behind... With a booming thunder... Gone, again, another...[/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Tower 1, Room B[/b][/size] Almost everyone suspected Zhech to be the culprit of the murder of Majir. Itching to figure out what's going on, [b]Luiza[/b] sneaked into Zhech's room when he left. [b]Cornelius[/b] had the same idea, and saw Luiza slip in. That was the last time anyone saw her alive. A few moments later, [b]Peel[/b] and [b]Supernatural[/b] walked by Zhech's room after conversing with him and Ivy in the lounge. They spotted Cornelius creeping out of the room, and stumbled in shock as they saw the corpse inside. "Cornelius!!" He returned slowly, and explained that the moment he arrived Luiza was already dead. Both sides were extremely distrustful of each other, and it took everyone else who arrived later much time and effort before they could stop a fight from potentially breaking out. The wall, smeared with blood too discernable at first, read "I will find all of you" [img]https://i.imgur.com/LMroBaO.png[/img] ----- Pinglist was here.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 5[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Drip, drip, drop... What's that sound? Look up top... Drip, drip, drop...[/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Hall, Dining Room[/b][/size] Thoroughly investigating the causes of deaths of the first 2 dragons, [b]Charlotte[/b] had deduced the possibility of them dying by "unnaturally natural" causes. Meanwhile, [b]Mallory[/b] was starting to get impatient and immediately suspected that someone among them is the cause of the killings. Due to these conflicting views, they eventually started arguing. It heated up and climaxed with both of them splitting ways. Later, close to midnight, Mallory was paralyzed with a surge of mixed emotions, as she stood in the large dining room staring at the ceiling. Charlotte was messily hung up on one of the chandeliers, blood dripping down slowly as the chandelier slowly oscillated. Carved on her belly were the words "There's no turning back now". A single tear crept out of her eye, then another and another, dripping onto the floor and mixing with the pool of blood. She never got the chance to apologise.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 6[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]You [u]will[/u] end up alone... but... You are never alone...[/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Hall, Lounge[/b][/size] Everyone has gotten more or less used to how [b]Muskrat[/b] consumes the most revolting materials and enjoys them, but today was different. No one saw this coming, much less Muskrat himself. He suddenly started choking and coughing profusely, harder and more frequent than usual, while his face started turning paler by the second. Everyone tried to help him recover, but it was too late. He drew his last breath and collapsed. "The stuff he ate was obviously especially laid with poison," [b]Cornelius[/b] stated matter-of-factly as he walked off uninterested. [b]Kuroko[/b] wasn't paying attention to the same thing as everyone else. She stared out the window as she saw [b]Sela[/b] attempting an escape without anyone else's knowledge. Along the way, even though she wasn't particularly quick, she slipped and fell into the pool beside her. As half the dragons in the lounge started to gather around Kuroko to watch the sudden commotion outside, Sela struggled to get out, but the pool was strangely deep and took her down into its depths after her energy ran out. [b]Astra[/b] thought she saw a faint entity shoving the water about to prevent Sela from escaping, but she was already scared witless by then.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 8[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Loop, and loop, in circles... Searching for an answer... Digging out the truth... Of Haustel's true master...[/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Tower 4, Room U[/b][/size] At this point, the remaining dragons have deduced that there indeed is a spirit at large that is taking their lives one by one, and that there was no way of escaping the building until the soul could be appeased. [b]Supernatural[/b] found the room that the owner used to stay in: Room U in tower 4. There's a faded picture of a petite female fae on a table, labelled "Vale Breden". Within one of the drawers, she pulled out a badly chewed up book which she assumed to be Vale's diary. From there, she found that Vale inherited the Haustel from a young age, and that she had been refusing to sell the structure to any of the devious merchants that wanted to snatch it away from her at a dirt cheap price. "I'm never giving the Haustel to anyone, it's all I have, and what my parents hold dearly-" as Supernatural was too engrossed in the diary, she did not notice the huge wardrobe beside her starting to collapse. "Look out!" [b]Peel[/b] jumped in just then, pushing her away. The heavy wardrobe crumbled on the mirror and completely crushed him, while Supernatural got out alive with a broken leg. She cursed herself for losing focus on her surroundings at the one time that she needed it most, and sat there for a long while thanking Peel's spirit and begging for forgiveness.

[center][size=5][b](#7)Haustel, Day 11[/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w4CDQ39.png[/img][/center] ----- [center][b][size=6][font=Curlz MT]Out comes the story... Light has been shed... Can they end their worry... Or remain in the dark... forever...[/font][/size][/b][/center] ----- [size=4][b]Tower 3, Room N[/b][/size] This was her parents' room. Evidently, no one else has lived here for a far longer time than the other rooms, and the positions of its furniture were completely untouched, as though the owner was afraid of disrupting some sort of ritual. [b]Supernatural[/b] and [b]Cathaoir[/b] searched the entire room for any clues that could lead them on, while [b]Kuroko[/b] just stood at the doorway and watched. They eventually found that Vale loved her parents very much, and they invested everything they had on this unique building to be able to raise her. Supernatural then recalled that Vale was facing quite a lot of stress, evident from the small scratch marks on the door of her wardrobe. Suddenly, Kuroko zoomed behind Supernatural. Before she had any time to respond, Kuroko wildly stabbed at Supernatural, who died with her eyes wide open in shock. Cathaoir roared in rage, but the seemingly possessed Kuroko then made a dash for the window and jumped off, landing with a splat. She twitched a little, then stopped moving completely. A chill went down Cathaoir's spine, but she maintained her composure and brought what information she had back to the others. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QwK2AK7.png[/img] ----- Pinglist was here.
