As the rest of the group entered the house, Sebastian wandered towards the stairs. He passed Lauryn and placed his first foot on the step, looking upward as he rested his weight on it. Without considering the stability, he started to climb the structure, only pausing when it gave a disconcerting creak in response to his presence. He froze and looked at the stairway, considering the best option for ascending it. The right side seemed particularly sturdy in comparison to the rest of the structure, and so he chose to hug the wall with his body as he shimmied up the stairs. The groups chattering became vaguely distant as he reached the top floor, looking around in a jumpy manner.

The upstairs was comprised of two perpendicular hallways, one of them running from left to right of the stairwell and the other continuing straight in the direction the stairs faced. He uncertainly tested his weight on the second level's floor before turning back around to face the group. [color=green]"The upstairs looks like it's in pretty good shape,"[/color] He commented, attempting to disguise his trepidation towards the house. [color=green]"But it smells like a frickin' dumpster."[/color] Sebastian began breathing through his mouth to lower the chance of him smelling the moldy air as he glanced around the upstairs, scared to turn his back on what he hoped was the empty second floor.

The faded grey carper continued upstairs, covering most of the floor except where it had been torn up in a few places by God knows what. Portraits of unknown figures were hung on the walls, however over the years they had faded significantly, now appearing more like twisted monsters than decent humans. Candle holders hung on the walls, causing Sebastian to wonder exactly how old the house was. He could at the end of the hallway on the left a second set of stairs continued to ascend upwards, presumably to the attic.

[color=green]"Any of you guys wanna join me up here?"[/color] Sebastian asked, turning to the rest of the group. [color=green]"It's-"[/color] His words were cut short when a small scampering noise came from behind him, accompanied with what sounded like a faint voice. Sebast's head whipped around as he studied the hallway behind him with wide eyes. His heart rate skyrocketed as he held his breath, waiting for a second noise to occur. But it never came.

[color=green]"Guys, there's something up here."[/color] Sebastian hissed, hoping the rest of the group could hear as he began to slowly move back towards the stairs. Unwilling to take his eyes off of the no longer vacant hallways, Sebastian continued back until his foot reached the top of the stairs. The hairs on his neck stood up as he slowly surveyed the second floor. He knew that it was probably a squirrel or a bird, however he couldn't help to shake the irrational trepidation he was experiencing.
