[Nora is busy in the lobby, today. She's set up a few lanterns to light her way as she leans a couple of tall ladders against pillars and places mirrors in precarious locations. As she works she dictates softly, pausing every so often to look over her shoulder. As much as she tries to ignore it, the noises are starting to get to her.]
Thirteen
Thirteen Mirrors shattered under Thirteen Ladders
a Black Cat pads over the shards, oblivious to the Cracks it steps on
Superstition comes to life in the eyes of the Fearful
meaningless objects given Terrible meanings
meant to Frighten us into Obedience
into Amputating rabbits and Throwing salt
a Ladder is a Ladder
until it's a Vortex of Curses and Misfortune
step beneath and spin the Roulette Wheel of Fate
the choices shattering like so many Mirrors
bringing seven times seven years of Calamity
do you play?
or do you shy away
searching instead for a heads up penny
a four leaf clover to placate your nerves
a band-aid for the fear spreading like mist over the moors
[She opens her mouth to continue but she hears footsteps creeping up behind her. She sees something move in the corner of her eye and yelps as she whirls around to see... nothing... absolutely nothing. She sighs, running a hand through her hair and flopping down onto the closest couch]
I feel like I'm living in a bad horror movie.
((ooc: Backdated to afternoonish. Open over the journals or in the lobby. Those mirrors are just waiting to be knocked over and those ladders are primed for walking under :D))
