CHAPTER 4 



Psycho: it’s nice that we cleared 8 floors so far don’t you think master?

[K] Merp: …

Psycho: Eh, what do you mean?

[K] Merp: …

Psycho: “I’m sure he’ll get over it. He’s a pretty powerful anima anyway.

[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: “Why tell me this now that we’re on the ninth floor?!”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Okay master, I’ll go apologize. Hey Jikan!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Hmm?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Look, um, I’m sorry for lashing out at you like that. I don’t know what got into me.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: It’s fine Psycho. Actually I’m grateful that you did that. I haven’t felt fear in a long time. Nice to know most of my emotions are still intact.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: You’re joking.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I’m not. When you live as long as I have, you start to lose touch with everything that used to seem interesting.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: That’s mean :c

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Oh sorry Master. I’ll find some Notes immediately!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: No point, I just found the last one. Look, a staircase appeared.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Now I feel like dead weight.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Floor 9: Clear

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Alright, I’m going to find all the notes this time!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I agree

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Wait! That’s not what I meant!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: You’re so mean master.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Fine, fine.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho scours the room for Mysterious Notes while Jikan and Kemp relax on the sofas. Kemp decides to doze off and think about chocolate while Jikan keeps a steady eye on Psycho.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: You could help you know if you’re just going to watch me collect Notes.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I’m bored, but not that desperate.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: I only found 2 Notes. This is getting me nowhere.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I didn’t think it would be that hard. I mean, the room’s not THAT big.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: I know, but my mind is roaming. I have no idea why. I usually can focus on a task quite easily.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Guess I can help then. Let me just move Merp off the sofa in case a trap springs up.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: That guardian ghost should be reappearing soon right?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Ah right. She said she would meet us on Floor 10. Try not to break your hand his time.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: It was a normal pan. I didn’t think chefs used CONCRETE to make cooking utensils.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Are you trying to place logic on a ghost inside a place called “Slaughterhouse Mansion?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Touché

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Anyway, we’re definitely meeting her. I can sense her presence.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Eh, if required I’ll bash it with a bat.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: The bat you’re going to use probably will have 13 different poisons on it.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Whatever Mister Sunshine. How many Notes did you get so far?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I got 7. I’m surprised this room has so many.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Huh, I found one more. Wow 10 Notes on one floor?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru: It’ll be 11 if you can pass my test.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Ah Master you’re awake!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Oh, I see. Anyway Niru, what’s the task that we must pass?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru: Catch!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru tosses several sharp blades at Psycho.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Careful with those!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru: You caught all of them anyway…

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Can we get a move on?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru: Anyway, if you can get 3 of the knives to hit the dead center of target I’ve place, you may pass.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Jikan, uh you might want to do this.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Why would I… Oh I see alright.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan took careful aim and threw all five knives in quick succession. All 5 of them magically hit dead center.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru: You’re pretty good. Here’s a Note. You can continue to the next stage. I’ll see you again in 5 floors.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Niru once again disappeared in a flash of light. A staircase suddenly appeared.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: You didn’t do that challenge fairly did you?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Floor 10: Clear

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Alright Floor 11 and we already have 100 Notes. I think we’re making good progress.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Hmm that’s weird. I sense a strong demon presence. That girl shouldn’t be here though.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Maybe we should be careful as we search the room then.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The trio search the room quickly. They find nine Notes within the first few minutes.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: See anymore?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: I found one!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Get back!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan yanks Psycho away from the note as a giant spider suddenly materializes on top of the note.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: What the !

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: But, it’s so big.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Alright alright! Waves of Insanity!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The Spider falls over and disappears.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Oh look, it dropped some Notes. I think it counts as ours right?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: I DID read over the notes. I just … might have forgotten.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Let’s just collect the Notes. Look, a stairway has appeared.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Psycho: Master! :c

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Floor 11: Clear
