After waking up on the cold, hard ground, Yutis had slipped into the comfort of the mansion. He had to use the the window to break in, rather, but that didn't make much difference. The front door had been locked and there wasn't any sense in wandering in the middle of nowhere and trying to find a way home. So..! Yutis sorely hoped that the owners wouldn't mind a tiny break in.
He tumbled into the family room from the open window.

Yutis landed on the floor in the dark room. He was scared. After some meaningless attempts to look around in the dark, he decided to silently walk, by the wall, to the nearest corner and sit down there, close his eyes and just be quiet and wait for something to happen.

Little did he know that the owners of the house wouldn't leave him there alone in the darkness for too long. As he simply sat there, a lamp in the opposite corner lit up, revealing a small family room. There were sofas and chairs of all sorts, arranged neatly around the decor.

Yutis opened his eyes, then he rose from the corner and walked towards the largest sofa in the middle. He was even more scared now. The room was quite small, kinda cosy... Yutis didn't dare to sit on a chair if someone would open the door and notice that he had touched the furniture. Because the room were so small it wasn't so hard to get an overview. And obviously Yutis was alone in the room. He arrived to the beautiful sofa and started to examine it. Then he began to walk to the opposite corner, which was rather close the door but he would still be a bit hidden since he could just move behind the door, if it were opened by someone. He would never dream about open up that door... When he came to the corner he sat down there, closed his eyes and waited. For the second time.

As Yutis sat, the candles continued to glow brightly, their flames never failing in intensity. After what seemed like a few minutes, the old grandfather clock in the corner struck midnight. *ding* The bell inside rung loudly, causing the rest of the room to echo and vibrate. *ding* Another sound was heard. *ding* And on and on, these bells sang, crying twelve notes in all. The last one faded into silence and all was quiet again.
From the opposite corner of the room, sat a small vase. It was an intricately painted item, the purple hues mixing well with the traces of gold paint. The design was a beautiful one, swirls of color coloring the body and neck of the vase. Yutis couldn't help but become amazed at this thing, his eyes unable to leave the sheer loveliness.

Finally, the echoes from the clock had faded... Yutis stared at the small, lovely vase in the corner. He got up on his feet. Then he started to zombie-like walk towards the vase.
A sound.
Yutis looked away from the vase and then shook his head furiously, thinking that it was nothing. Yutis just kept standing there, hoping for silence and no more suspicious sounds. Then he heard it again. And again. It almost sounded like a person that's walking down a stair.

And yet the vase stood silently on its pedestal, shining with radiance in the dimly lit light. With little warning, the piece of pottery suddenly tipped over, falling quickly to the carpeted ground. Gravity showed little mercy as the vase shattered into thousands of pieces. The beauty was no more; the purple and gold shards now covered the ground, revealing something that was previously in the vase. It was a small piece of paper with writing on it...

((Ehh! I've been redirected here. XD))
Michelle wandered into the family room. "Ooooh, what's in here?" She heard the loud noise of the vase shattering. "...Loud..."

Yutis, who was walking towards the paper on the floor, jumped high by Michelle's voice. He quickly rushed behind the nearest sofa and hid himself. After a few minutes he crawled out from behind the sofa and, with a scared voice, he said:
"Hello there..."
((Sorry i couldn't write more, but i don't have more time...))

"Another person! I AM NOT HERE ALONE AFTER ALL!" Michelle clapped her hands eagerly. "Which one of my Tales buddies are you? I AM MICHELLE, better known as P-Chan."

"Ummmmm, I am Yutis." he said. "Better known as... ehhh... i don't know. So what's happened to you? You seem a bit, well, hysteric..." Yutis said while checking the floor after the little note, "This fell out of the broken vase. What? I can't read it. I must be that i'm so nervous. I can't focus at all. Can you read it?" Yutis said, while giving the paper to P-Chan.

"Pwah! I had a run in with a buge spider. A really BUGE one that wanted to eat me or something... But sure I'll read it! X3" Michelle picked up the paper and began to read...
((I think I'm supposed to wait for the grim dude to post then. >.>))

The paper was burnt around the edges and as Michelle unfolded the paper, she could feel the shreds of excess shreds tear into small pieces. In a scrawled and faded handwriting, a message could be barely seen:
The fireplace... [inlegible scribbles] I went to take a look... [more inlegible scribbles] laboratory.

"It says... 'The fireplace -something-...I went to take a look... -something- laboratory.' Maybe we should head to the laboratory...?" Michelle handed the paper to Yutis so he could see it.

"...Weiiiird..." Yutis said as he read the strange text. "I think you're right about the going-to-the-laboratory-idea. Soo, which way should we go to get there..?", he said and looked around. "Or maybe if we should check the fireplace first... I don't know..."

Yes, indeed there was a fireplace in the family room. It sat in the corner with small trophies and frames as decor. Nothing about it seemed too out of place... but it wouldn't hurt to give it a quick look.

"Okies then. X3!" Michelle shuffled over to the fireplace and peered inside.

"Waaait..." Yutis said and followed Michelle to the fireplace. "Wow, it's REALLY dark inside... Can you see anything? Woah! Do you see that? Something sparkled! This is scary, that could've been, like anything... Maybe we should just go to the laboratory, and not bother."

"I agree... This place is weird. O.o" Michelle stood up, putting her hands on her hips.

Before the two could come to a decision, something in the fireplace clinked, the sound echoing from the chimney.
