| Ami blinked in confusion when Kaede said they should stick to ‘small stuff’. Then she remembered that the girl was still thinking this whole thing was just a roleplay. “Ah! Well… I’m sure our, er… game manager will tell us what we can and can’t do,” she whispered back. “I also happen to be… somewhat experienced in this area.” She really did hate lying, which was why she stuck as close to the truth as possible. Technically none of what she was saying was untrue. Just then, Dr. Els seemed to consider her question, and finally explained that the basement seemed to be the source of high spiritual activity. Right, of course. If it wasn’t the attic, it was the basement. Why did it have to be the dark, scary places every time? She was intrigued when the doctor said he couldn’t go there himself. Was something physically blocking him from it? Or was the reason more on the… intangible side? She nearly jumped when the disembodied voice echoed around them. It was unmistakable, and the words clear too. There seemed to be different voices, and not all of them wanted the same thing. Some want to stay? They needed to be careful with which ones to listen to, then. Ami felt as if Dr. Els wasn’t telling them everything; he was definitely a bit cryptic about why he couldn’t leave. He spoke as if something was holding him there, but was it the spirits? Mako voiced the questions she wanted to ask, so she waited to see if any answer was forthcoming. |

| Minako shifted her weight as she sotod in place, not very comfortable anymore. So Dr. Els wanted them all to go down to a dark, dank basement, probably where all the really terrible ghosts lived, just by themselves. What a good plan. And by good, she meant terrible. Didn't he know that's where everyone died in the horror films?
Minako nearly went to hide behind Makoto for protection when the disembodied voices started up, but she stood her ground despite the chill currently running up her spine, if only to set a good example for the others. Running away certainly wouldn't help everyone's morale.
And then the man started talking back to the ghosts, confirming that the voices weren't just a figment of their imagination. If he was trapped in this house with a bunch of spirits for so long, it was a wonder he and his butler weren't insane already. Minako just wanted to get this over with now before anything creepier happened. |

| Leah listened as the voices spoke. It sent a chill up her spine. Why was she always in these creepy situations. If some of them wanted to stay then why didn't they just let the others go at their will.Even the dead deserved some closure she thought.
She didn't want to go into the basement, but knew it was the only way to begin to help Dr. Els and rid him of his sadness.
Leah really wished she knew someone, it would make her feel so much better and confident to have someone she knew to help support her through the situation. She looked towards the girl with blue hair, her name was Ami, she asked Ami softly, "do you think we should head there, or do you think its a trap?" |

| Hearing the whispers in her ear caused Hotaru's body to tense. The hairs on the back of her neck rose as chills ran down her spine, causing her to shiver slightly. Despite being a brave senshi, Hotaru was still a kid, and like any child, the thought of ghosts and evil spirits was a bit frightening. Glancing at Minako, Hotaru forced herself to stay strong and resist the urge to cower behind her mother. If the other senshi could be brave, then she could too. Not only that, but she had to be strong for the innocent civilians who were stuck there with them. Taking a deep breath, Hotaru stepped forward. "Well, I'm not about to turn town someone in need," she said, her voice bold. "I'll do whatever it takes to help the spirits here." Hoping that was enough to convince everyone that she wasn't scared, Hotaru relaxed her shoulders a bit. The mixture of positive and negative energy that she felt within this mansion was sending her mind in all sorts of different directions. The whispers echoed in her ears, leaving all new questions that remained to be answered. However, Hotaru could no longer stand waiting in this hall. She wanted to quickly defeat whatever was inhibiting this doctor's home and go back to her own mansion, where she could be safe with her parents once more. If push came to shove, her transformation stick was right in her pocket. With the senshi here, they could accomplish anything, Hotaru was sure of it. - OOC:

| "I can not leave, because I have a duty here." Dr. Els stated, nodding at Kay who nodded back.
"The master does not wish to enter the basement." Kay spoke for the first time, answered the brown haired girls second question. Dr. Els gave Kay a stern look, and Kay's voice dimmed out. "Come with me, to the basement, I will show you to the steps." Kay said in a broken Japanese accent. He clearly wasn't from Japan.
The butler lead them through a few rooms that were unlit. It was hard for the guests to view the rooms due to the dim lighting, but Kay seemed to walk the rooms as if the dark was second nature to him. Every now and again cob webs could be felt dangling and dust stirred.
"There" Kay said, pointing to a door in a dark corner. The door was on the ground, a pull up door that lead down into the basement. "That room....old storage...."
The stairwell is lined with cold stones and spiraled down until it reached a dirt covered floor. The room is rather small, about the size of a small living room. No other doors can be seen, and no light source was in the room. The only thing in this room are some bare shelves, but the far left wall completely empty, as if something should be there, but can't be seen. |

| Jasper considered the responses given to him by the engimatic Dr. Els, then inhaled sharply at the sudden whispering. Was that one of the spirits he had mentioned? Two more voices spoke up, indicating some obscure and sad mystery was awaiting them further within the aging castle. Rather than look spooked or frightened, the young man instead appeared to be in disbelief. The doctor suggested that their starting point of the investigation laid within the basement - an old icebox. But there wasn't any food awaiting them in such an ancient relic; instead, it was probably something awful. In an effort to break up some of the melancholy, Jasper glanced amongst the girls that were together with him in this daunting task. " I should introduce myself since we'll be working together." He bowed briefly towards the girls, offering each of them a light smile as if to reassure them he wasn't completely bereft of any positive emotions. " My name is Jasper Franklin. It's a pleasure to meet you." He followed Kay through the unlit rooms, minding each of his footsteps in this disused portion of the castle. " Kay, would you happen to have a flashlight in this place? I don't believe all of us can see as well in the dark as yourself." - OOC:
Will Jasper have any issues with seeing in the dark here? He has nocturnal vision, but I'd rather not make assumptions.

| Minako followed the rest of the group to the cellar Kay was leading them to, thinking about what the butler had said. Dr. Els didn't want to go to the basement himself, but he chooses to stay in an old, falling apart castle. Were the ghosts that lived down there even more dangerous than the ones that roamed around? The rooms were nearly pitch black, and Minako wondered why the butler just didn't use a flashlight instead of having everyone trek around in the dark.
"It wouldn't kill them to light a few candles around here..." she said under her breath. He eventually stopped at a trap door leading to the cellar, where it was even smaller and darker. Well, there was nowhere else to go but down, and she was determined to see just what these spirits were all about. But first, they needed some way to see better. Minako looked over at Jasper when he spoke up, surprised that he was acting this nice after his earlier disposition.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Minako Aino," she said, smiling back. If they were all going to do this as a team, they needed to be friendly. "A couple of flashlights would be pretty helpful..." she agreed with him. |

| Ami turned toward Leah; she seemed concerned about going to the basement. She managed an encouraging smile. “I think the doctor is telling the truth. There may be spirits down there, but I don’t believe it’s a trap.” She had started thinking about everything the doctor had said. The fact that he couldn’t leave… that he could hear the spirits… could it be that he was…? She felt a chill going up her spine and didn’t quite know what to think anymore. She really was better with physical problem solving. Meanwhile, Hotaru had spoken up, and Ami had to say she admired the younger senshi’s determination. Whether she was scared or not, Ami believed Hotaru’s intentions to never abandon someone in need. Dr. Els’ words about duty made her think of her own, and she too resolved to help. When his butler told them to follow him to the basement, Ami followed suit. He seemed completely unbothered by the darkness or the cobwebs, and again her suspicion about the true nature of these two arose. She stopped when he pointed the door to the basement. It was a trap door, which didn’t make her feel any better. But they proceeded nonetheless, deeper and deeper into the earth until they reached the bottom. The room felt cramped and dark, and Ami used the opportunity to summon her visor. No one else could see it in this darkness, anyway. The visor gave her clearer vision, and she scanned the contents of the room. There were no other doors or light source. Only some shelves… and a strange empty wall on the far left. She activated energy analysis and immediately noticed the spike of spiritual energy, especially coming from that blank space on the wall. Something was definitely there, even if her naked eyes couldn’t see it. Perhaps the source of all this problem. She heard the conversation going behind her, noted the only male member of the group’s name. Her visor finished its analysis and concluded that the empty wall actually led somewhere else. It was a portal of some kind. She stepped closer to Mako and Minako. “Girls… I think we definitely have a magical problem here…” But the question was, how to solve it? Moreover, how to solve it with all these strangers around? |

| "Hm?" Minako squinted and saw the faint glimmer of Ami's visor, a detail she would have missed if she weren't aware of its existence. She must have been examining the room while everyone else was having trouble seeing. Minako moved to stay between Ami and the rest of the room, using her body to further block her from view as they talked.
"So we can do something about it?" Minako asked. This would be much easier if they could transform. Maybe they could convince everyone to go back upstairs for a minute... "Do you need us to clear the room?" |

| "Flash lights arent needed by myself and the master" Kay remarked. "We are accustomed to the dark."
When Ami spotted the magical portal, the room grew cold, and voices wizzed past the group.
"She did this."
"The woman, she played, she did wrong"
"We cant go home" |

| "Clearing the room would be ideal, but I don't know how," Ami whispered to Minako. "There's a portal there that might be where the spirits are coming from." She gently nodded at the empty space of the wall. As the room suddenly grew cold and voices were heard, Ami felt a chill up her spine. So clearly someone did something here that caused the spirits to be trapped. But who was this 'she' the spirits were talking about? "Uh... it could get dangerous here," she said in a louder voice. "Maybe some of us should go look for a light source somewhere in the mansion...?" She dismissed her visor, itching to transform. She supposed they could do it in the dark, but if some girls went missing and soon a couple others replaced them, that'd still be obvious, no? It could easily be explained to the one who thought this was just a roleplay, but what about the others? |

| Hotaru squinted, struggling to see in the dark. She could only go by what she heard, and she wasn't liking that, either. At this point, her transformation rod was clutched tightly in her hand, providing some comfort in the dark. She listened to the other senshi talk, but she was conflicted over whether or not they should trick the non-senshi into leaving. There had to be some reason why the others were invited, right? If these new people were invited instead of Haruka and the other sol senshi, they had to be of some importance, correct? Surely Ami and the others could realize that? Hotaru spoke up: "Actually, I think we should all stay together. Splitting up doesn't sound like a good idea." |

| Leah wandered down into the basement with the others. She listened as one of the members spoke at searching for a light source, then heard the chilling voice of what could have been one of the spirits. Leah felt conflicted inside, she wanted to find a light source for the group, because the pure darkness of the room gave her goosebumps, but at the same time she didn't want to leave the group, what if something happened to her.
Leah spoke, her voice had just a hint of shakiness. "I would be willing to go look for a light source....if someone wanted to join me of course." Leah was working so hard on her confidence and she felt that if she could do this it would give her the boost she needed to get over the fear of where she was at. |

| Hotaru said that splitting up wasn’t a good idea, and Ami turned to look at her, though she could hardly see anything in the darkness. Perhaps Hotaru sensed something she didn’t. Maybe there was a reason all these other people were here, but was it really safe to expose themselves to them? She heard Leah saying that she was willing to go look for a light if someone would go with her. She waited to see if anyone would volunteer. Ami thought again about what the voices was saying, replaying them in her mind. Some words stuck out. “The voices… they said ‘she’ and ‘the woman’. They said she did this… that she’s the cause of their being stuck here. She did something wrong.” She figured saying the problem out loud would help with the brainstorming--get other people to chime in with their suggestions. More heads were always better than one. She tried to recall what Dr. Els had said about the previous occupants of the castle. “Do they maybe mean it’s the family that was here before? Maybe one of them did this?” |

| When Leah heard the voices say she, Leah wondered who this she was. Did Dr. Els have a wife who died, or is gone, could she be responsible for the spirits being trapped in this place.
Leah decided to express her opinion to the group, "hey does anyone know if Dr. Els said anything about having a wife, maybe she is the person the spirits are talking about." |

| Hotaru bit her lip, shivering from the combination of darkness and eerie whispers. From what she had learned from Setsuna, spirits were broken things, full of grief and confusion. Hotaru felt like she was one of them at that moment, terrified and confused, not knowing what to do or where to go from this point. The spirits...she felt like they were merely repeating themselves. Deciding to speak up again, she said, "These spirits need a release. They need us to find out what happened to them, and free them from that burden..." Clutching her skirt, Hotaru looked up at the ceiling above. "This...woman...is she the wife in the Sasaki family?" she asked the air, hoping that the spirits were able to listen and communicate. Outside of the tidbits of stories Setsuna had told her, Hotaru had no knowledge of how these things worked. |

| "Mrs Sasaki was a witch!" "Witch that women!" "She did this, yes!" "Don't listen to them, we stay." "No, we want to go home!" The portal that was only visible to Ami began to glow. It was now visible to everyone in the room and an eerie mist flooded the room. Although the basement was already cold, you could now see your breath when breathing. The ghostly spiral radiated with an overwhelming feeling of dread. "Open it!" - Spiritual Sailor Senshi Magic?:

| Minako wasn't sure exactly how to open up the now glowing portal in the cellar. Hotaru's question had triggered something in them, and now they claimed that the wife of the previous owner had trapped them here. Wait...both Dr, Els and the butler couldn't leave, and neither could the spirits. What was the connection here?
"How can we open it?" Minako asked the spirits. |

| As Hotaru posed the question to the spirits, some of them excitedly answered. So the woman was a witch? Ami was taken aback. She didn’t know why she was surprised that witches existed after all she’d seen. Now they really had to help them, even if some of the spirits—she presumed the more malicious ones—seemed unwanting to leave. The portal glowed and the room became colder, filling with mist. It strangely reminded her of her powers. A voice commanded them to open it, though they didn’t know how. If it required a witch before… could the powers of their senshi magic be enough? Then she looked at everyone and realized all of them must be possessing a power of some sort, if Dr. Els had been correct in choosing them. Maybe they weren’t all just civilians after all. “Maybe… Let’s hold hands and concentrate our will on opening it?” she suggested. It seemed like a silly suggestion but it was the best they could do. “Everyone?” she grabbed Mako and Minako’s hands on either side of hers. Thinking of Usagi, she convinced herself that they all could do this if they all just believed. “I’m sure if we all try we can help these spirits together.” |

| Jasper's eyes opened in alarm as the portal became visible to him. Worse, the room took on a chilling atmosphere that both looked and felt sinister. After soaking in the details of the spirits' cries, he looked back at the girls before stepping closer to the portal.
He had remained a bit silent since his initial introduction, carefully considering the strange events that had occurred within the castle. Then one question, unpleasant yet necessary, emerged from Jasper's mouth along with his condensed breath. "Did someone die here in this basement? Are their remains nearby?"
As Jasper posed his query, his eyes continued to scan the room. "Does the icebox figure into this mystery?" |

| The portal glowed, energy humming from it's core. The spirits slowly appeared, visible in it's glow. Their faces ranged from the elderly to the young. A few gave off evil, but regardless all were lost souls. After thinking and recalling all of the events of that evening, Ami and the others decided to pull their energy into opening the portal. No transformations were needed, just the positive hearts that filled the bodies of the living. That was why Dr Els and Kay had sought them out. Mrs Sasaki had an evil heart, and that was why the spirit portal she dabbled with eventually locked, not allowing the spirits to return. Pure was needed to unlock what seemed like an unlockable door.
The spirits, regardless if they wanted to or not, needed to return home. They were able to enter through the portal, but not return. Dr Els and Kay had ventured through the portal, knowing they might never be able to return to the spirit realm, in hopes of finding someone or many able to unlock the door that lead home....freeing the souls that were stuck in the land of the living. |
