Now, Possum-Chan doesn't know her house layout so well. She hardly ever leaves her room on the 1st floor, and if she does, its not to explore the house. After all, the kitchen and the bathroom are right there! What need does she have to go up to the second? In fact, she doesn't even remember the last time she went upstairs.
But Pin-Chan's room is upstairs, and Possum-Chan needs to check on her to make sure shes not writing on the walls or breaking mirrors or something silly again. What an odd girl.
A flashlight would be handy to explore. What door do you anons think she should go through?
She is a bit reluctant to go to the last door on the left. She thought she saw something move over there but she wasn't sure. Could just be pareidolia or paranoia.

She retrieves the flashlight, lighter, and card deck as well. She begrudgingly leaves the extra pair of gloves behind in the dirty drawer. She now has 5 out of 6 item slots filled in her pockets.

Inside, there are stairs leading down to the even darker and unfinished basement. The flashlight barely penetrates the darkness. A cold draft seeps from the basement floor up the stairs, sending a chill down her spine. She feels as though shes being watched.

>>928Possum-Chan takes your advice and heads through the darkness into the kitchen. She shrines her light through the room and gazes at the more or less clean kitchen. It's been about a day or two since she was in here, and its tidier than usual.
It's not as scary as she thought it was, theres lots of nice things here like the tea kettle. The feeling of being watched has lessened but not gone away. Looking out of the window unnerves her for some reason.
Possum-Chan knows there's nothing too interesting in any of the drawers. Just plates, bowls, and silverware that's not silver, ironically. There are no knives either, not in this room. Not since Christmas.
She might be wrong, however, she's wrong on a lot of things.
>>935I think we'd need a better weapon than a flashlight, frankly. There doesn't really seem to be much in terms of that here, though. Should Possum-Chan search this room or head back to the hallway? Or perhaps try to find the stairs for the 2nd floor?
