You stand in the foyer, small particles of dust illuminated in the moonlight. You can go to the [[stairway]], the [[kitchen]], or the [[study]]

<<if $upstairs_hallway_entered==false>>You head up the stairway. Family portraits hang all along the walls, sunbleached and covered in dust. Their painted eyes look sunken in but fixed in place, except for one painting. As you pass by it, you feel like it's watching you. You take a step back, move forward again, it's definietly tracking you. You should probably [[take the painting off]]. But you could also [[keep going up]] and into the upstairs hallway. <<elseif $upstairs_hallway_entered==true>> You head up the stairway. Family portraits hang all along the walls, sunbleached and covered in dust. Their painted eyes look sunken in but fixed in place, except for one painting. As you pass by it, you feel like it's watching you. You take a step back, move forward again, it's definietly tracking you. You should probably [[take the painting off]], you've already explored upstairs! <<elseif <</if>>

You take the old painting off. There's a huge chunk of the wall missing with it's beams and wiring exposed. Within the mess, you see a single eye staring straight at you. You found one of them! You reach out and gently take it in your hand, opening up your bag and placing it in a jar of preservation fluid. <<pickup $bag "eyeball" 1>> You can head [[back|foyer]] or continue [[upstairs|upstairs hallway]]

You walk through the old hallway, several doors are locked or sealed shut. <<if $bathroom_entered==false and $bedroom_entered==false>> The only ones that you can open are the one to the [[bathroom]] and one of the [[bedroom]]s', or you could go back to the [[foyer]]. <<elseif $bathroom_entered==true and $bedroom_entered==false>> You've already been into the bathroom, you should probably check out the [[bedroom]] or head back to the [[foyer]] <<elseif $bathroom_entered==false and $bedroom_entered==true>> You've already been into the bedroom, you should probably check out the [[bathroom]] or head back to the [[foyer]] <<else>> You've already explored the rooms up here, there's nothing left for you. You should head back to the [[foyer]], you still have a long night ahead. <<set $upstairs_hallway_entered=true>> <</if>>

You manage to pry open the door to the bathroom. You haven't been in here in a while, the old rubber duck is still on the edge of the grainy bathtub like it always is. You know it has a name, you can never remember what it was. The mirror surrounded by lightbulbs has stopped working a long time ago, but it always looks nice. You open the cabinet under the sink, amongst the rusty pipes, you find an old bottle of watermelon shampoo. The scent is still somewhat strong even after all these years. You should probably go [[back|upstairs hallway]] <<<<set $bathroom_entered=true>>

<<newinv $bag>> <<set $bag to Inventory.create()>>

You enter the house. The old, decrepit and worn interior of the foyer greets you; cobwebs and drapped sheets welcoming you inside. The once ornate and detailed wallpaper is now faded and peeling. The wooden floorboards are old and rotting, creaking with each step. A few flecks of moonlight are scattered about from the crystals of the old chandelier hanging above you, somehow it hasn't fallen down yet. You know what you're here to do, they always hide in tricky spots every year. You have an itching suspicion that there's one in the [[stairway]], one in the [[study]], and one in the [[kitchen]]. <<set $bathroom_entered=false>> <<set $bedroom_entered=false>> <<set $upstairs_hallway_entered=false>>

You decide to keep [[going up the stairs|upstairs hallway]] past the paintings.

You open the door to the bedroom. A few posters of various bands, TV shows, and movies are still hanging on the walls, just barely. Some of the books are still on their shelves, along with a porcelain figure of a dog, completely covered in dust, but still looking happy nonetheless. The bed is a twin, covered with what used to be a brightly colored quilt, now worn and riddled with stains from time. It's cold from what you feel, you remember this room used to be so warm when you visited. You should probably go [[back|upstairs hallway]] <<<<set $bedroom_entered=true>>
