PART 0.2
A noise. Tapping? Yeah, tapping. But seeing as it's - wow, nearly midnight, according to your bedside clock - it's
way too late to investigate. Letting out a quiet groan, you turn over and tug the bedcovers higher up.
Taptap. Tap.
... Wait. Isn't that coming from inside your room?
Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely from over by your bookshelf, and you've never heard it before. Something's come loose from somewhere, maybe? Peeking your head out from under the covers, you take a quick look - it's hard to tell with only faint light making its way through your blinds, though.
Taptaptaptap!
Okay. Now it's just getting stupid.
[Boldness roll = 76 +10 = 86! Great pass!]
Gritting your teeth - it's definitely not a serial killer. Or a ghost. Or your dumbass sister messing you around - you lunge an arm out, stabbing a finger at your bedside lightswitch. The lamp clicks on immediately, and looking at your bookshelf reveals -
The box holding your 'new' old sumi-e brush giving a tiny jiggle with each tap, like something inside it's... moving... around.
Oh holy fuck.
