House of Madness

[Rayleonarde]

Tryp pointed up, and a huge metal amalgamation descended. Bound by shackles, Ray remained essentially encased in brass, aside from his head. Tryp smiled. "Here's the game, find the keys. There are five." He motioned to the five keyholes in the machine. "Find them all, and you get Ray."

[Aconitum]

Acon's eyes grew wide and she turned to growl at Tryp.

[Tina]

Lennox growled Tryp now that he knew what the game was.

[Aconitum]

Acon narrowed her eyes at Tryp. "What, are they scattered around the house? This place is huge!"

[Rayleonarde]

Tryp smiled. "Tut tut, my dear. Harm me, and he dies." He smiled wider. "Oh, before I forget, the keys are not all in this room." Tryp looked around. "In fact, only one should be in here, if Ronald had done as instructed. But, he's been rather difficult these days, so..." He shrugged. "Keep an eye open, you never know how close they are. Might even be under your nose." With that, Tryp moved across the room, and sat, looking up at the sky, which had been night this entire time.

[Aconitum]

Acon bared her teeth in before she ran out of the room to start looking. "We'll look for the one in the room later. I have a feeling that one will be our hardest to find."

[Rayleonarde]

Tryp merely chuckled. "Oh...dear."

[Aconitum]

Acon held Lennox tighter against her chest. "Let's go bully Ronald into helping out."

[Tina]

Lennox knew this was a rather awkward position being squeezed against Acons chest but he nodded.
"Eev eevee."

T: "Yes lets go get him.

[Rayleonarde]

Tryp chuckled. "I wish you two luck, Ronald doesn't speak much anymore."

[Aconitum]

Acon ran down a hallway some ways away from the observatory with Lennox cradled in her arms. "I wonder where he could be." She huffed.

[Rayleonarde]

Ronald was cleaning a large picture window, one paw tucked behind his back.

[Aconitum]

Acon ran until she tripped on one of her shoe laces and went flying.

[Rayleonarde]

Tryp appeared near Acon, and caught her before she fell. He set her upright, and spoke. "Be careful, dear. Getting hurt here is never a good thing."

[Aconitum]

Acon narrowed her eyes at Tryp. "Listen, you! I don't know what kind of sick joke you're playing, but it's not funny!"
