[PQ] this is the house that Jack built

Wessex comes up the stairs with a dusty, but full and unopened bottle of amber liquid. She’s decided that it’s obviously alcohol, because no one would put fruit juice down in the cellar. While neither her nor Rexanna can fully appreciate all the qualities of a well-aged something-or-other, there’s no reason why Evie couldn’t. Finding one of the rooms empty, she goes to the other and peeks in through the doorway only to find that it is… also empty. She frowns. Ok. The Wraith then heads for the steps to check the second floor and finds Rex swirling a broom up towards the ceiling because… oh! there are bats! Of course there are bats in her house. She’s just in time to see them become agitated enough to descend and panic around the room a bit before flying out the window, a small black cloud that will no doubt find shelter in some other abandoned house soon enough. Other than that, the homeowner-to-be finds that the second floor is pretty well cleaned except for that guano on the floor, which is easily dealt with (it’s almost like she’s cleaned a lot of houses before) - but still no sign of Evie. “This looks great, Rex. Thanks. Have you seen Evie? She wasn’t downstairs.” The redhead is perfectly within her right to say she’s had enough cleaning, thank  you very much, but it would have been nice to get a heads up. Just because she’s no longer a prickly bitch about everything doesn’t mean Wessex can be taken advantage of. WESSEX come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts unsex me here
