Ronnie, Jeff and Donna find themselves going down an old rickety wooden staircase. Ronnie's phone lights the path, but only about two feet in front of him. Are they watching their feet, or in front of them?

Donna's mostly watching her feet, because rickety wood sucks.

Ronnie is doing a weird twitchy glance between his feet and directly in front of him, but he's going a little too quick.

"Fuckin' rich kid can't get his damn stairs upkept? What kinda... makes no sense."

Jeff, who has had far too much to drink comes stumbling down the steps.

Donna, mindful of her steps rolls a 6 and avoids getting caught in the tumble!

Ronnie rolls a 2! With -1 intelligence he takes the brunt of the fall, twisting his ankle in the process!

"Are you alright?"

Donna makes her way down quickly to check on Ronnie! She looks around for anything to put pressure on his ankle with.

This just in: Ghost costumes do not mean you can fly. Unfortunate.

Ronnie drops his phone and grabs his ankle, making really uncomfortable groaning sounds for a while.

"Fuuaaa you better hope there's some magic ankle cream down here Jeff!"

Regardless of the pain, he crawls to his phone and shines the light at the walls to look for the breaker! Someone else will have to get it, unfortunately, but... he's helping somehow!

"I'm fine, thanks. Just... look for that breaker or whatever. It's creepy in the dark."

"It wasn't my fault! Something tripped me!" Jeff points to the stairs!

Donna somehow rolls another 6! With her bonus she sees the dark outline of a ton of rags she could use to tie up for support!

Ronnie roll's a 5! Intelligence -1 puts it at a 4 but with his charisma a 4 is a complete success! he finds the breaker box against the wall only a few yards away!

"I'll bandage you first."

Donna has priorities, and heads right for those rags to bring one back to tie up Ronnie's ankle!

Ronnie accepts with wiggly eyebrows that can't be seen under his sheet. Fortunately.

"Thanks. Jeff, go check out the breaker, then look for that bitchass Maxi. It was probably him - I bet he's down here tryna fuck with us."

He doesn't know Maxi's upstairs!

"Ugh. Fine...!" He wanders off!

Donna rolls a 4! With int+1 she gets a five and successfully supports the ankle! Does Ronnie watch her or Jeff?

"Oh WOW that feels so much better. Miracle worker, you."

He gives Donna an approving thumbs-up, so his eyes are on her!

Light is still kind of sort of pointed in Jeff's general direction, at least.

The light shows half the fusebox, which Jeff doesn't seem to be at! He's vanished!

Don't fuck with Donna's rolls.

"You're welcome."

She gives a soft smile, before turning to look for the fusebox.

"....where's Jeff?"

Ronnie sneezes because someone is talking about him elsewhere.

"Son of a - He's in on it with Maxi, little ass. We know you're both down here, stop playing around!"

Still-inebriated-and-very-dense Ronnie pushes himself to his feet and heads on over to the fusebox to check it out himself.

"Stay close, Maxi's a creep. He'll probably touch your butt or something."

Donna goes to turn the power back on!

Because then the basement should be lit up, right?

While Donna handles that, Ronnie keeps a light on it but looks around for Jeff and Maxi.

Little bastards.

Donna rolls a 3! With +1 int she is partially successful! The power doesn't fully turn back on, but a single light around the corner lights up, causing a shadow to be swinging back and forth against the wall at a slow pace.

"wh-wh-wh-whAT THE - TRY AGAIN THAT IS NOT OKAY."

If the single light is enough to light up the fusebox, Ronnie will turn his light on the shadow to see what the hell that is. If not, then he's gonna keep holding that light there till Donna achieves the desired amount of fixings.

Donna works more frantically, more than a little terrified with Ronnie sounding so scared!

Without going around the corner, Ronnie can't really see. It looked like he saw a foot kick around back there.

Donna rolls a 1! Even with the +1 bonus she blows the fuse again and the light goes off!

"Oh that probably wa-wa-wasn't a good thing I'm gonna guess oooohhh boooy that's not good that's not good."

No commas, because Ronnie takes no breaks.

Ronnie snatches Donna's arm and unless she protests, drags her around the corner with him to get a better look. He shines his light on the shadow, ready to swing his knife sharpener with all the finesse of a drunken something.

"Goddamnit..."

Donna whispers, frustrated and flustered and other f-words all at once as she struggles with the fuse box.

Up until she's dragged away, and she looks wildly in the direction Ronnie's light is pointing.

In the low blue LED light, they see the lifeless eyes of Jeff, hands still clutching at the extension cord wrapped around his neck tied to the support beam just high enough that his toes still brush the concrete floor, the swaying having slowed to an almost standstill.
