Pattiverse: The hall opens into the inside of a large and beautiful, if not dirty and somewhat stale-smelling, manorhouse...The carpets are a lush, thick red, and a few paintings of people hang on the walls. A stern man who looks like Ashley, two women in mid-embrace, and a beautiful painting of a young Patti, made Queen, sits on a chair in one of the pictures, just staring at her. She would notice, as she enters, that the maggot's sounds have completely disappeared, and she can no longer hear the others. Each wall is decorated by a vase with dead, wilted flowers within. The world sways slightly, almost drunkenly, as though she was looking through a veil of a difference in heat. The doors are closed, but not locked. Ahead is a beautiful livingroom with leather and velvet furniture, and a lion's head hanging above a large, cold fireplace. "Honey...honey where are you?" A thin, quiet voice rings out in the darkness. This place has a certain kind of heat to it. Patti would begin to feel like the heat is getting to her a little, but it is strange that it would be so soon.

"Alex, you stay with me then, but stay very close. Do not move. I have no doubt that is what happened. The monster...Patti..PATTI CAN YOU HEAR US, COME BACK IT'S A MONSTER." He looks for an entrance. "Was there an entrance? How did it lead him there? Can we get there too?" He searches for somewhere that the thing could lure them, but finds nothing so far.

"Don't waste my time! Show yourself so I can tell you to fuck off!" She paced a circle in the room, eyes scanning from door to door, not intending to let anything take her by surprise.

Inside, a beautiful woman with white hair turns to face her, seeming half-asleep, almost. Her thick white curls reach the mid of her back and she is dressed in a modest dress which covers her all the way to her knees. Her eyes are the most beautiful shade of deep, dark, piercing blue. Around her are scattered decaying human bodies, laying all over her bear rug on the floor. The room is meticulously decorated, if a little bit too lavish. "Seen you before...How do you do? Do you know how to dance?"" She takes a very small step towards Patti. There is nothing else to surprise her, but she'd feel the oppression of the strange heat. There's just a touch of distortion to what she sees.

"Quit talking nonsense. How do I get out of here?" She didn't bother threatening with the gun, because she was sure whatever this thing was wouldn't be impressed.

The woman walked over to her, and the feeling of intense heat became stronger, before reaching out delicately. Patti would start to feel a pounding, intense headache as the creature approached, putting out a hand towards her as if offering her to take it. As the distance between them decreases, the pain increases. She looks at Patti, and maybe through her as well. "Honey, honey where are you?" Her half-lidded eyes gaze through Patti's body, seeming to be trying to draw her in. "Welcome to my home." She offers, seemingly to someone behind Patti. "Do you want some tea?"

Patti stepped back to keep more than an arm's length between them. She raised the gun at chest level. "Back the fuck up." If the woman came another step closer, she would fire at least twice into it's chest.

The woman walks over to and the bullets drift through her. She seems unperturbed in the slightest. Patti's nose begins to bleed, and the headache is pounding now. She feels weaker, as if from heatstroke, and the heat intensifies, before the ghost reaches out, now close, and the heat flows from Patti and into the woman. "Honey, honey, where are you?" She asks nothing, looking through Patti quietly.

Patti turns and runs as fast as she can, looking for any escape that might present itself.

In REI, Alex stayed so close to Ashley, their arms sometimes brushed against each other. He held a torch in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other. Every now and then, he shouted, "PATTI! PATTIII!" But she didn't respond ...

Pattiverse-- Patti is able to go back the way she came, but in her sprint she comes face to face with the fat Caterpillar-maggot. It's chewing mouthparts feel blindly in the air for her. It's skin pulsates wetly, and the head end of it swerves in the air quietly. Behind her she can feel the heat of the monster following her, seeming to walk at double the speed of her own dash. She cannot hear a single footfall as it moves down the corridors of his hallway, seeming twice as long as before. "Honey, where are you?" At the far end of the dark tunnel she returns down, is the faint shape of a man, or maybe two men, but she cannot make them out yet. She may realize they are calling her name, ever so faintly, faces lit by a dim red light.

"PATTI!" He shouts at nothing. It seems hopeless, she is nowhere to be found and they have been looking for several minutes now.

Patti thought about firing into the maggot-thing, but worried that the bullets might go through and hit someone beyond. She bobbed and weaved and tried to find a way around it, praying that the thing behind her wouldn't catch up.

Pattiverse-- The maggot moves, as if to strike her, and it seems to pass right through with a terrible chill..and what a chill. She would feel weaker, and almost feverish now, but she can make her way back the way she came. Blood continues to pour out her nose, and she'd have that strange feverish too-hot feeling still, until reaching the way she came in. And in doing so would nearly run into Ashley and Alex. The real world snapped up to hit her like sudden, cold air, and then she felt the wind beginning to pick up again. The real world- A Patti wielding a flare appears mysteriously, holding a loaded gun. She seems to simply appear from the darkness where they weren't looking. "PATTI! Where were you? Your...your nose. Come on, we have to go now...Are you alright?" Ashley rushes up with Alex within arm's reach to go help her, when they all feel the ominous wind-feeling again.

Her strength was almost gone. The ache and the weakness felt like the god-damned swine flu. She dropped the flare and fumbled the pistol into the holster. She grabbed onto Ash for support. "Go... GO!" She leaned towards him, using her weight to push them both towards the opening in the glass. "RUN!"
