Ashgate #2 - Unknown Awakening.

You reach out for the handle, and swing the cupboard door open. Inside you can see various toiletries stacked up against each other. Upon further inspection, there seen to be something at the back of the cupboard. You finish up, pull your overalls up and wash your hands.

What will you do now?

I feel around the back of the cupboard

 

Pushing some stuff out of the way, you manage to get a hold of whatever it was that was hiding back there. You pull it out and inspect it. It's another bit of paper.

'The steam uncovers hidden secrets.'

Huh.

What will you do next?

I turn the heat on in the shower

 

It couldn't hurt to try. You turned the handle for the water, setting it to the highest. After a few minutes, the room gradually started to fill up with steam. A while after that, you noticed a few of the tiles - that were previously white - had started to turn into different colors.

This had to be related to the cyphers you had found. Now you just had to find the rest.

What will you do now?

I take note of the colour changes

 

You make a mental note of which colours you recognised from the cipher, but you figured it was probably best to just turn on the water again when you had the complete set. You turn off the water for now.

What will you do next?

I decide to look around for a closet or something of the like

 

There is a closet in the corner that you haven't checked yet. You look inside, but all you can find are stacks of towels.

What will you do next?

I open out the towels, shaking them to make sure there's nothing tucked inside

 

It was worth a shot. You couldn't really leave everything in a mess, so you found yourself folding up everything as you shook them out. Nothing fell out.

What will you do now?

I decide to leave the bathroom

 

You leave the bathroom, and wonder if there was anything you missed in other rooms. From where you were standing, you could hear Umbra dancing along with the movie.

What will you do now?

I decide to return to the study instead wanting to look over everything

 

You take retreat in your study once more. As you slump down into the comfy leather desk chair, you slide the picture of Human Umbra out of your pocket. What kind of Unknown could curse a sweet child like this? You thought back to the first time you saw her in the mirror - last night - she really had matured a lot since then.

'My name? It's.....'

Your head throbbed still. Between the growth of your horns and what you figured was your brain re-configuring your memories - it didn't seem like your headache was going to subside. The worst thing about it was you were pretty sure that no amount of painkillers was going to touch it.

What will you do now?
