Summary: A year ago, Jon's girlfriend went missing from a weird house on Sage Dr. Jon and his friends are going to spend a night in that house.
Author's Notes: Any typos are deliberate. Most of the journal links go to my RP muse journal, not actual journals. Only one of them goes to an actual LJ. The formatting on DW is going to be a little wonky b/c of the html/css stripping, but I've tried to make it as readable as possible. (On Ao3 it has a workskin that aligns everything the way it should be. I'll come back and add the link here after the round is over.) For those unfamiliar with the fandom, start here.

Steve (hans_gruber), Tim (
timtimtim), and Greg (
darthjedix8947) want to go spend the night in this weird, creepy house on Sage Dr. They say they've heard stories that it's haunted. It sounds pretty cool. They wanna go this weekend.

Creeeeeeeeeepy house!
hans_gruber | October 10, 2005 | 7:05pm
Oh yeah! Scary! Best Halloween ever!
timtimtim | October 10, 2005 | 7:07pm
Can't wait!
iwantanxbox | October 10, 2005 | 7:02pm
So jealous. We don't have any spooky houses here.
October 15, 2005 - 12:13pm -- Saturday
We're going to the house tonight. Steve says he thinks he found a way in. Tim and Greg are getting some snacks and we're taking some sleeping bags and flashlights. Weirdest camping trip ever.

Have a good time! We want stories.

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before a king?
iwantanxbox | October 15, 2005 | 7:25pm
Dude, WTF?
az_dbacks | October 15, 2005 | 7:25pm
Seriously, wtf is that? And who are you?
October 16, 2005 - 8:13am -- Sunday
I'm never going back to that house again.
First - it's the creepy house where my old girlfriend, Dani, used to babysit this strange little girl. Dani disappeared about a year ago. I think it had something to do with that weird house. No one else thinks so. The cops think she just ran away from home. I wrote about this a lot back when it happened.
Second - it makes all sorts of noises and smells like rotted death. Greg said it smelled like bread. I think his nose is messed up. It was all metallic and wet. Nothing like bread at all.
Third - it was freezing in there. No matter how many blankets we put on or how close we huddled, it was cold.
Fourth - There were computers set up on a desk in the living room. (I thought the house was abandoned, Steve said it's just been on the rental market for a long time. Didn't explain the computers though.) I didn't think the things were on, but they would beep sometimes. Loudly. It woke me up a bunch of times.
You can tell we got out of there in a hurry - why else would I be awake at 8am on a Sunday? I'm going to bed.

pinkfluffykitty | October 16, 2005 | 10:16am
Whoa! What happened? I thought it was just haunted. But this - this is so weird.
az_dbacks | October 16, 2005 | 10:22am
You have no idea... I'm not ready to talk about it yet.
darthjedix8947 | October 16, 2005 | 10:19am
My nose is fine. It did smell like bread. I didn't smell dead things.
hans_gruber | October 16, 2005 | 10:21am
I didn't smell anything. But it was damned cold.
darthjedix8947 | October 16, 2005 | 10:26am
Yeah. And the computers beeping all night was annoying.
timtimtim | October 16, 2005 | 10:27am
OMG the beeping! The cold I could handle. But the beeping! All night long.
az_dbacks | October 16, 2005 | 10:31am
Right? Were the computers even plugged in?
darthjedix8947 | October 16, 2005 | 10:42am
I think so? I was too cold to check.
October 17, 2005 - 4:05pm -- Monday
Tim just showed me a bracelet he found in the creepy house. It looks a lot like one Dani used to wear. He said he found it in the hall near the stairs. What the hell? What stairs? It's a single-story house.
Tim sees stairs and Greg smelled bread. Steve hasn't mentioned anything. And I smelled rot. There is something super messed up about that house.

I want you to tell him, in this - in these words: "Get on the fucking phone!"... I can't say that.... No, you can. Tell him to get on the fucking phone!... He told me to tell you to "Get on the... fucking phone!"
az_dbacks | October 17, 2005 | 6:25pm
Man - go find someone else to bother. Come here again and I'm blocking you.
pinkfluffykitty | October 17, 2005 | 5:36pm
Are you going to go back? Maybe you'll find something.
iwantanxbox | October 17, 2005 | 5:36pm
I agree with
pinkfluffykitty - you should go back.
bowlingforstuff | October 17, 2005 | 7:14pm
Oh yeah - you should go back. I would.
(Anonymous) | October 17, 2005 | 7:34pm
Going back? You should. Don't you want to know what's there?
October 18, 2005 - 3:56pm -- Tuesday
To everyone saying I should go back to the house to see if Dani's trapped there somewhere - are you crazy? Did you read my post? That house is messed up. I'm not going back there!

still think you should go back.
darthjedix8947 | October 18, 2005 | 4:33pm
Nope. Couldn't get me back there.
timtimtim | October 18, 2005 | 4:35pm
You should go. Dani's there.
az_dbacks | October 18, 2005 | 5:15pm
How do you know that?
timtimtim | October 18, 2005 | 5:18pm
I heard her.
hans_gruber | October 18, 2005 | 5:22pm
Man, you're hearing things. Dani wasn't there.
sohighabove | October 18, 2005 | 4:59pm
If you build it, he will come.
az_dbacks | October 18, 2005 | 5:18pm
Blocking you.
October 22, 2005 - 11:23am -- Saturday
Okay, I went back last night. With Tim. He's been going every day for some reason. He hasn't found anything else of Dani's.
The house is still super creepy. And I didn't want to go inside, but Tim wanted to prove there had been stairs in there. I didn't think there would be. I mean, there hadn't been before. But damn if there wasn't a set of stairs there this time!
Most things don't scare me. Freak me out, sure, but full-on scare - no. This? This magically appearing out of nowhere set of stairs? That scared the crap out of me.
Tim - the idiot - wanted to go up the stairs. He wanted to go up there! I had to grab his arm to stop him. He said it smelled like candy or sweet something. He was so wrong! It smelled like death again. But worse than last time.
No way was I letting my friend go up there. Even when he said 'What if Dani's up there?'
I told him we should let the cops handle it. He wanted to 'go on an adventure'. I convinced him to leave and let me call the cops, but only if I agreed to go back when the cops found nothing.

You went back? You're either brave or stupid. Good thing you kept Tim from going up those stairs.
az_dbacks | October 22, 2005 | 11:41am
Yeah. I don't know why he was so insistent.
timtimtim | October 22, 2005 | 11:42am
Don't you want to know what's up there?
az_dbacks | October 22, 2005 | 11:45am
Not really.
so_high_above | October 18, 2005 | 11:57am
Keep going. Each step may get harder, but don't stop. The view at the top is beautiful.
az_dbacks | October 18, 2005 | 12:01pm
You again? Are you high? I thought I got rid of you. Blocked x's 2.
October 23, 2005 - 11:55am -- Sunday
The cops looked at the house, but said they didn't see anything suspicious. They also told us to stay out of the house or we'd get hauled in for trespassing.
That didn't change Tim's mind at all. He still wanted to go back. He kept bugging me all day to go with him. I told him I had to finish a paper for tomorrow before I could do anything. Tim didn't seem to worried about that history paper we have due. I don't get that guy.

Did the cops even go inside?
az_dbacks | October 23, 2005 | 12:41pm
Yeah. But they didn't see anything.
October 26, 2005 - 1:02am -- Wednesday
Why did I go back there? Why? What the hell is wrong with me? I knew I shouldn't have gone back.
But now I have to. I can't tell anyone why yet. Not until I'm sure of some things. But tonight was weird. Tim made me go with him. He's obsessed with the place.
All I can say is - something happened there tonight. Now I have to go back. Are PKE meters a real thing?

What? I mean - I don't know if that's terrifying or awesome.

We're going back tonight. I have to figure out what's going on. Full report when I get back.

You see, I just can't stay away from you
Let me tell you I've been through a lot of changes
You see, my Momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh Lord, you know they warned me
They said you're no good for me, but I just ignored it
az_dbacks | October 28, 2005 | 4:40pm
You know what? Fine. Comment. Whatever.
jenny_levin | October 28, 2005 | 5:01pm
Hey - you don't know me, but I might have info for you, Can I message you?

Sure. But if you're a crackpot, I'm blocking you.

That's fair.

October 29, 2005 - 2:00am -- Saturday
I don't feel well at all. Just got back and I feel terrible. And there is this annoying ringing in my ears that won't go away. And Tim keeps repeating random stuff he heard on TV and won't shut up. I had to practically shove him into his house.
I didn't find what I was looking for either. Stupid house. I'm gonna go back one more time to see if I can confirm the thing from the other night. One more time.

Stop going to that house. It's not getting better. Now it's making you sick.
az_dbacks | October 29, 2005 | 2:05am
You think it's the house?
darthjedix8947 | October 29, 2005 | 2:06am
Yes.
hans_gruber | October 29, 2005 | 2:06am
Since you don't have a girlfriend - yes.
az_dbacks | October 29, 2005 | 2:08am
Asshole.
hans_gruber | October 29, 2005 | 2:06am
I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for in tha thouse.
timtimtim | October 29, 2005 | 2:06am
And I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
October 30, 2005 - 3:06pm - Sunday
I tried to call Tim to see if he wanted to go with me tonight. I couldn't get in touch with him. All his parents said was that he 'went out'.
But, some woman named Jenny messaged me yesterday. I don't know who she is, but she showed me a comment on her friend's blog from nearly a year ago - the one from 'ohdanigirl'. It could be Dani, but it's really weird and doesn't sound like her at all. That's her usual screenname though. And it was posted the day she disappeared. I don't know where she posted it from though.
So, I messaged Jenny back - she said her boyfriend went mysteriously missing last Sept - and we talked a bit about our missing friends. I asked her if they ever found her boyfriend. No. Same as Dani. I told her about the house on Sage Dr. where Tim found Dani's bracelet. She said I shouldn't go there anymore. When I asked why, she said her boyfriend followed a rabbit hole just like it before he disappeared.
I told her I have to go back. I have to. I heard Dani's voice there. That's the thing I have to confirm. The thing I mentioned the other day. If she's there, I have to help her. I can't leave her there. So, I'm going back tonight. With or without Tim.

Man, that's creepy. That link. Is that really Dani? That gives me chills.
az_dbacks | October 30, 2005 | 3:22pm
I don't know if it's her, but yeah, very weird.
iwantanxbox | October 30, 2005 | 3:23pm
Did you read that guy, Eric's, blog? That guy went to some weird house too.
az_dbacks | October 30, 2005 | 3:27pm
I read some. But he's in LA.
iwantanxbox | October 30, 2005 | 3:30pm
Saw that. Still weird. Don't get sucked in like that guy.
az_dbacks | October 30, 2005 | 3:32pm
Ha! I won't. Just going to check some stuff out.
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 3:47pm
Thanks for messaging me back. I hope it helps. And stay away from that house. Seriously. It's bad news.
az_dbacks | October 30, 2005 | 3:51pm
I'm going today, then I'm done. Gotta check one more thing.
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 4:02pm
You shouldn't. That's how Eric disappeared.
so_highabove | October 30, 2005 | 4:05pm
I haven't gone anywhere, Jenny.

Almost forgot I set up the voice post thing. This will be easier than remembering everything to write later. So, I'm in the house [long pause] I'm looking for the stairs. I don't know why they're not here. They've been here all the other times but that first one.
I'm gonna go outside and make sure I'm at the right house. It should be, but I wasn't paying close attention and it's dark and I was in a hurry...
Oh, hey Tim. Where have you been? I tried calling you. [mumbling - probably Tim talking] Ah, yeah. Me too. So, you wanna go in with me? [pause] Cool. Let's go. Back in a bit.

Tim and I are inside now. That funky smell is back.. But this time it's laced with a weird sweetness. Maybe Greg wasn't imagining things before. It's super cold too. Way colder than the last time we were here.
The stairs are here too. I don't know how I missed them before. [pause... gasp... pause] Did you hear that? Tim? Tim! Tim, where are you?
Posting this while I go look for Tim.

I spent 10 minutes looking for Tim all over the first floor, but couldn't find him anywhere. And the house isn't that big. So, not I have to check upstairs. Which is where I heard a voice from before I lost Tim. I think it was Dani.
Going upstairs.
This is creepy. There are rooms in odd places. And a long hall. How does this fit on this house?... Dani?
I heard her voice again.
Dani? Is that you?

az_dbacks should get out of that house. There is nothing good there.
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 9:55pm
That's what I tried to tell him. I know two people already who've gone missing because of these houses.
iwantanxbox | October 30, 2005 | 9:59pm
Houses? There's more than one?
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 10:02pm
Yes. My boyfriend's findings are here. He sent info to his friend, Eric. They both are missing now.
iwantanxbox | October 30, 2005 | 10:10pm
Hey
az_dbacks, didn't you say Dani found keys she said belonged to some guy named Mark? This is super weird.
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 10:12pm
The store mailed those back to me. Somewhere in Arizona. But Mark wasn't even in Arizona. He was in Boise.
iwantanxbox | October 30, 2005 | 10:15pm
How'd his keys get to AZ if he was in Boise?
jenny_levin | October 30, 2005 | 10:12pm
I don't know. I've been trying to figure tht out for 2 years.
October 30, 2005 - 10:23pm - Sunday
VoicePost 2:45
There's a metal door - locked. Is that where Dani is? Is that where Tim went? Gonna look in a couple other rooms again. Maybe I just missed Tim.
[long pause]
I heard it again! I don't know if it registers on the phone post, it's not very loud, but I heard Dani. She said 'We're waiting for you.' Waiting for who? And who is 'we'? Is Tim with her? I need to find out. Get my friends back. That Jenny woman was so wrong. My friends are here and I'm going to find them.
Hey! Isn't that... it's Dani's bracelet. The one Tim found. Tim! Dani!
Gonna take one last look around, then I'm gonna go home.

The fandom isn't overly 'long'. It's a bit that was put together by Eric Heisserer as a pitch for a movie that has since been lost in development hell. Unfortunate, b/c it would've been fucking awesome!
