EVIE
like love is a bad word
Evie is certainly never lending a helping hand with this particular brand of housewarming ever again she decides after she leans back against the wall to wipe her forehead and survey the room, and promptly stumbles backward and almost dies.Okay so maybe a little dramatic, but she only narrowly avoids landing straight on her ass as the paneling gives way. At first she panics, thinking that aside from nearly dying that she just broke Wessex's new house, but as she spins on her heel to frantically survey the damage she realizes the depth of the darkness is unprecedented for a crumbling wall. The woman hesitates a moment, chewing on her lip and considering. It's definitely kinda...ominous. But it's just an old house, and it's at least passing onward towards dawn at this point so maybe the night based monsters wouldn't be roaming around?
Evie steps tentatively into the opening, making sure to shove the paneling as far open as it would go so she wouldn't end up entombed or some bullshit. It's a narrow space in the wall, but Evie isn't a very broad woman, and she makes her way down with her pitiful eyesight as her eyes slowly grow accustomed to the dark. Mostly she feels her way tentatively with her hands and feet, until she reaches a room and a dead end. At first her hands recoil from the plants when she goes to investigate the door, withholding a shriek. Her pride keeps it clammed up in her throat at the last moment. No need to alert the two Ascended women to her plight against the killer ivy.
Frustrated with this entire situation and her own jumpiness, she begins ripping at the ivy with her bare hands. This at least she's used to, hands tough and calloused after years of tending to plants and thrusting them into soil. Then she grabs onto the handle and, hoping it's sturdy and still decently attached to the door, begins to pull and jiggle with all her might to try and break the old seal on the door frame.
Evie rips the ivy down and begins pulling on the doorhandle to try and open the sealed door!
