Tales in the Dark
Aries: *Runs into a room* Guys we're playing hide and seek!
Virgo: *Gets up to leave*
Pisces: *Yanks him down* This should be fun!
Virgo: Aries, didn't you do that last night?
Aries: Yep and I'm ready to do it again.
Virgo: It's too late at night for this sort of thing.
Aries: Nope it's exactly the right time.
Pisces: Can Charlie play??? He's already hidden
Aries: Sure!
Virgo: Fine, I'll play, but you're all limited to the second floor.
Pisces: Onetwothreenotit!
Aries: NOT IT!
Virgo: *Facepalms*
Aries: *Bolts out* Okay, count to twenty!
Pisces: *Scoots*
Virgo: *Sighs* *Starts counting* Okay, I'm coming... *walks down the hall* Where would Pisces hide...? *Checks out the row of spare bedrooms* *Checks out the room with the pingpong table* If I were Pisces and I had just had an extremely late night talking with Cancer and Taurus, where would I hide...? Oh, of course. *Turns and walks across the den down the hall*
Virgo: *Opens the pillow room* Pisces, I know you're in here.
*Rumble*
Virgo: *Squints*
*Rumble*
Virgo: PISCES!
Pisces: AHhhH! *Jumps up* Oh, hi Virgo! Wait, am I out?
Virgo: Yeah. If you're going to hide in the pillow room, try not to snore.
Pisces: *Grins sheepishly* *They walk out* So, are we looking for Charlie now? Or Aries?
Virgo: Nope, we're not looking for Aries. Aries is going to come to us.
Pisces: She is...?
Virgo: Yes. We're just going to walk down all the halls and into the rooms and Aries will present herself.
Pisces: Okay...?
Virgo: *Checks the master bedroom* *Walks down the hall* *Walks into the movie room*
Aries: *Jumps off of the ceiling onto Virgo* BOO!
Pisces: SWEET JESUS
Virgo: *Climbs to his feet* You're out.
Aries: Aw, I didn't get you?
Virgo: No, I got you. Besides, you already got me once, aren't you going to give it up now?
Aries: Heh, no.
Virgo: *Sighs* Okay, we still got you. Charlie wins.
Pisces: Wait, but how is Charlie going to seek?
All: ...
Virgo & Pisces: Onetwothreenotit! *Bolt*
Aries: Dang it! *Starts counting* ...

Saggy: *Walks into Capricorn's room* Capricorn, I need help.
Capricorn: *Reading* No.
Saggy: I'll give you money.
Capricorn: *Climbs off the bed* What do you need?
Saggy: *Pulls out a map* This map leads to the location of buerried treasure-
Capricorn: *Climbs back into bed*
Saggy: Come on!
Capricorn: The last time you tried this we went on a wild goose chase for a cheap ice cream cone.
Saggy: This treasure has real money!
Capricorn: It's raining outside.
Saggy: It's indoors!
Capricorn: ...?
Saggy: Aries is paying me to find her piggy bank, she lost it. We get half of it if we find it.
Capricorn: And where did the map come from?
Saggy: Aries drew it, but she can't remember what it means.
Capricorn: And I can help with this how?
Saggy: You're supposed to be smart, right?
Capricorn: Yes. *Takes the map*
Cancer: *Peers in* Hey, guys, what's going on? You woke me up.
Saggy: Oof, sorry Cancer.
Cancer: No it's fine, I wasn't that tired. No one else seems to be asleep.
Saggy: So, are you going to help us look for buerried treasure?
Cancer: Sure! Where is it?
Saggy: *Looks at Capricorn*
Capricorn: This map is utter nonsense.
Saggy: Aw come on you can do better than that.
Capricorn: It's a bunch of scribbles and dollar signs with an arrow pointing at it saying "howse".
Saggy: ...maybe she wants us to sell the house!
Cancer: Maybe she wants us to do something other than sell the house?
Saggy: Hmm crazy theory, but tell me more.
Cancer: Oh hey, this part kind of looks like the kitchen.
Capricorn: I guess those bumps could be the towers...
Saggy: Okay, where did she mark it with an x?
Cancer: There's one here...
Capricorn: That's in the middle of the pool.
All: ...
Saggy: *Runs downstairs*
Cancer & Capricorn: *Run after*
Saggy: *Peers into the pool* Okay, I don't see any money.
Cancer: It should be right on the side...
Capricorn: You mean right next to the cleaning vent?
Cancer & Saggy: ...
Saggy: *Jumps into the pool*
Cancer: Sag-!
Saggy: *Unscrews the vent* Aha! *Pulls out a ceramic pig*
Capricorn: This is ridiculous.
Saggy: *Takes off the bottom* *Two coppery pennies fall out*
Capricorn & Cancer: ...
Capricorn: This is all of Aries's money?!?
Saggy: Yeah, we get half! *Takes one penny* Want to flip for it?
Capricorn: The frigging ceramic pig is worth more than that!
Saggy: So I can have your share?
Capricorn: ...
Capricorn: No.
Saggy: Okay, heads Cancer and I flip for it, tails we flip, if its heads Capricorn gets it, if not we flip it again. *Flips the coin*
Coin: *Heads*
Capricorn: Son of a-
Saggy: I call tails! *Flips again*
Coin: *Heads*
Cancer: Wow! *Takes the penny* Thanks guys! This was fun! *Waves and leaves*
Saggy & Capricorn: ...
Saggy: Want to steal the other penny?
Capricorn: Sure.
Saggy: Flip for it?
Capricorn: I call heads.
Saggy: *Flips the coin...*

Gemini: Hey! Libra!
Libra: *Turns around* Oh, hey Gem, what's up?
Gemini: I'm having a problem with this wall.
Libra: ...I see.
Gemini: Don't give that face, you know as well as I do that there should be a room here.
Taurus: *Walks by* what's up dudes?
Gemini: Hey Taurus! Why isn't there a room here?
Taurus: I dunno dude ask the architect.
Libra: Why should there be a room here?
Gemini: Here, I'll show you. See, we're to the left of the kitchen, right? So, we can walk around this entire section, passing by the stairs, and there's no opening.
Libra: So?
Taurus: No, I see what he's saying, there's a lot of empty space there.
Gemini: Yeah!
Taurus: Think there's a secret room?
Libra: Hold on, what?
Gemini: That would be epic!
Taurus: Yeah, let's look for a lever or something.
Libra: Guys, there aren't any secret rooms in this house. When Gemini and I bought it nobody mentioned that.
Gemini: Maybe they didn't know about it either! *Patting down the wall*
Taurus: *Peering under a rug* Yeah, they can't just tell you these things.
Libra: This is ridiculous. *Leans back on the wall* There's no secret- *Falls into the wall*
Gemini: Libra! You found it!
Taurus: Way to go dude!
Libra: *Picks herself up* Okay, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. *Looks around* Guys, there isn't a room, but... there's a ladder.
Gemini: Nice!
Taurus: Dibs on going up first!
*The three climb up the ladder*
Gemini: *Calls up* Does it end?
Taurus: Nah.
Libra: Huh, we should be on the second floor by now. It must go higher than one floor.
Gemini: Nice!
*They climb for a while*
Libra: Okay, we're past the second floor, so we should be coming out on the third floor now...
Taurus: Are there any more floors?
Gemini: *Scratches his head* No, when we bought the house it said it just had three.
Libra: But it has always looked a bit taller than that from the outside...
Taurus: Guys there's a door! *Opens the door* Dude we're going to need a flashlight.
Gemini: Ooh, I've got one.
Libra: *Laughs* You carry a flashlight everywhere?
Gemini: Yeah! Aquarius dared me I couldn't keep track of it for a week. I'm on day two.
Libra: Well, good luck.
Taurus: *Takes the flashlight* *Shines it around* We're in some kind of hyper-attick.
Gemini: Ooh, old boxes.
Libra: *Opens a box* There's some old furniture in here, and some pictures.
Gemini: Aw, I was hoping for treasure.
Taurus: Hey, there's another door up here.
Libra: *Opens the door* It's really dark in there. Pass me the light?
Taurus: *Hands her the light*
Libra: *Shines it around* It's some kind of circular dome... *Walks in* The walls are- oh!
Gemini & Taurus: What?
Libra: *Flicks off the flashlight* Come in!
Gemini: *Walks in* Whoa...
*They look up. The ceiling is clear and they can see outside to the stars*
Libra: That's amazing.
Taurus: There's a telescope over here! *Pulls it out* The zoom on this is amazing!
Gemini: Can I try? *Taurus lets him* I can see Libra!
Libra: Wait, really? Where? It's too late at night to be able to see Libra this time of year.
Gemini: *Pokes Libra* Right there, ya doofus!
Libra: *Snorts in laughter*
Taurus: *Staring at the wall* Dudes there's even a star chart over here!
Libra: Who would have thought the mansion had a fully functional observatory dome?
Taurus Gemini & Libra: *Take a moment to stare at the sky*
Gemini: Hey, you guys want to go find some more secret rooms?
Taurus & Libra: Of course! *The three walk back down the ladder.
