[color=8493ca]"Sounds correct to me. Still, investigating this place would probably be the best way to find out for sure. It definitely seems that we can't just go questioning Negloria on that theory...it would be unsafe." Minako concludes in response to Makoto.
"Neggi is hiding in the upstairs closet again anyway." Amelia looks up at Minako and Makoto, circling back and forth around each person's ankles. "You can't go up there unless you [color=fff200]have a way[/color]. The stairs have holes. They've dropped people into the basement before...and if they survive that fall...they won't survive[color=fff200] the one who lurks[/color] down there."
"Right...another good reason not to go anywhere near the upstairs room for a bit." Minako nods slowly, looking a bit more concerned now. Whatever lived in the basement sure didn't sound very friendly.
Suddenly, there's the sound of shattering glass from upstairs, and a small wail starting up. Abernathy's rabbit ears stand straight up in attention.
"Oh! Please, do excuse me, I'll be back in no more than 5-10 minutes, guests." He seems incredibly hurried, using his ghostly ability to float and rush all the way upstairs.
"I wonder what that was about..." Minako murmurs. She doesn't have much time to ponder on it before there are more noises, which happen to come from behind the door that Joerose decided to pass through.
"C'MON, RENN, LET'S GO!"
"ELLYSA, STOP!"
The door bursts open, and a small demon girl with gray skin and black hair runs out. She skids to a halt upon being startled by all of the new people she sees in the mansion, but right about then, an angel with braids and armor runs out of the room after Renn, sword high in hand.
"I...I don't know which is scarier!" The demon girl whimpers with fright, her eyes glancing quickly back and forth from the group of newcomers to the rowdy angel.
"Huh?" The angel only notices the new people in the mansion after getting in position to lop off the demon girl's head. "...Is this...a rescue party for me?" The angel turns indignant and determined after assuming this of the adventurers. "I don't need any help! I shall find my way out of this ghoulish prison myself! The Havens shall honor my name!"[/color]
