The party has been going for a little bit at this point, about two hours in. Brian has been playing music mostly be request. Sarah has stuck close to Sterling but has tried not to make it seem too obvious and give him space as well. Jeff on the other hand is by far the most drunk at the party, hitting on almost every girl present at least half a dozen times.

"Woo! Senior year!" He holds up a toast, spilling some beer on the floor.

Donna quietly heads closer to start cleaning up the beer, wiping it with a napkin.

She's helpful.

Sterling is oblivious to Sarah's intents and laughs at Jeff being all loopy and uncoordinated. Compared to Jeff, he only drank some beer.

"I'll get some paper towels."

He checks if there're any at the snack table.

There aren't! Just not very absorbent napkins!

"Well, HELLO down there..." Jeff winks down at Donna.

Holly's listening to whatever song's playing as she makes sure to stay away from the super drunk people. She doesn't like the smell of beer in her hair. Between songs, she's elaborated on her notion of "bigger" with the bodies in the basement theory. Sometimes, the bodies aren't even a cover up so much as part of whatever theory comes to mind.

She's also probably discouraged some other people from talking to her if they overhear. Maybe. She's good like that.

"You don't REALLY think there's any bodies down there do you?" Brian, the Wicked Executioner asks half sincerely.

"Huh. I'll be in the kitchen. They might have a roll of paper towels there."

Sterling goes off to do just that!

"Hey..."

Donna doesn't even really look at him, just continues cleaning before standing up.

She's always been sure Jeff was pretty much out of her league.

Holly gives Brian a look like he'd just suggested dogs were better than cats. She glances around the room to make sure Maxi's not around to overhear.

"Well, you can't deny it, right? I mean, they could pay the cops to look the other way."

"You ARE serious!?" Brian's jaw drops.

"I'll help." Sarah goes off to do that too! There aren't any in plain sight.

"You're not as weird as people say." Jeff hiccups as he boops her nose.

There's a knock at the door!

Ronnie waits for someone to enter the kitchen, and Sterling is the unlucky victim! He pops out wearing a sheet he cut holes into - don't tell Maxi - with a knife sharpener!

"BOO!"

Holly waves a hand in a shushing gesture, looking around again like she expects Maxi to suddenly be RIGHT THERE and add her body to those inside the cabin. A bit of interest shows as she looks towards the kitchen. Don't go to the cellar was asking them not to hit the red button - and some of the teens were certainly drunk enough to do so by accident.

"Who's going to know? We were told not to, and that's what we play by. Unless our host wants to give us a full tour." She raised her voice a little, sounding enthusiastic and way too into the idea of seeing dead bodies.

"Ah!" Sarah jumps, cursing under her breath after for being caught.

Sterling rolls a 3! With his +1 athleticism he gets a score of 4, partially succeeding and landing a glancing blow to Ronnie's cheek!

Brian also looks around for Maxi, wondering what she'll say.

The knocking grows louder.

In a pathetic attempt to dodge, Ronnie takes a fist right to his face!

"Son of a diiick," he groans as he falls to the floor, holding his face.

If he sees no one else go to answer the door, he will just to escape this awkward and failed situation! If not, well... he's going to lie on the ground, in pain, for a bit.

Even if it's a glancing blow, his ego took the biggest blow of all.

"I try not to be..."

Donna chuckles softly, looking away towards the door.

"Is someone supposed to arrive?"

"Shit! You think its the cops!" Jeff starts shushing everyone, grabbing Ronnie's arm if he approaches the door to delay him.

"Ronnie? You shouldn't have scared us like that!"

He feels bad for punching someone, but clearly, he's more upset for being startled.

"Someone could've gotten hurt--Oh. Like you!"

Holly also looks a the door, but doesn't move towards it. It's not her family's cabin. She does look back at Brian, though, and raises a brow.

"Cops already?" You think they'd be used to loud music or something. She shrugs and presses on. Unless someone was just that late.

"If you don't believe me, we could always take a peek."

Ronnie just makes a face at Sterling - not sure what the face means - before he goes off to the door.

"Oh fuck -" Ronnie stops, having been too inebriated to consider that possibility! If Jeff lets go, he runs to a window to check in the best sneaky manner he can attempt.

Since he thinks it's the cops now, he's looking for lights! Or just anything cop-ish, really.

"Jesus, Ronnie. You scared me." Sarah sighs as he wanders over to the window.

"Guys, I don't think its the cops. We're kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe someone's lost?" She goes to open the door unless someone else stops her.

There's no lights, and he can't see the door from this angle.

"I don't know..." Brian replies to Holly.

"No no no no no no no no -" Ronnie keeps adding more "no"s until he reaches Sarah and takes her arm, which he holds for a few seconds longer than necessary.

"Let me."

Still in the ghost get-up, Ronnie goes to answer instead.

Ronnie does! No one is there! Just a ghost answering an empty doorway.

The lights flicker off, cutting off the music.

"Shit! Did we blow a fuse?" Brian checks the equipment.

Sterling follows behind everyone.

Looks like he'll have to put looking for a towel in a bathroom on hold.
