It’s a pity there aren’t any noticeable spiders or other critters to distract herself with, but Rute entertains herself by trying to work out what the single, solitary label says until, maybe twenty minutes later, there’s a knock at the door. Rute rises from her chair, just in time to see the door open, revealing nobody there and a sheet of paper hanging in midair.
Rute doesn’t yell, at least. She does take a rapid step back and almost trip over her chair and the ‘NOPE’ is written very clearly on her face, but at least she doesn’t yell.
“Oh,” she says brightly. “Good!”
Her eyes track the path of the paper through the room and then onto the table, leaving Rute not entirely certain where she’s supposed to look. Eye contact is difficult when one of the participants doesn’t have them. She settles for sitting back down, folding her hands on the table, and looking straight ahead.
“Good to meet you. And they kept it this time,” Rute says. Which they did, she’s about 99% sure- she remembers the ‘guiding’ part and the ‘maid’ part, just not the ‘Halloween Mansion attraction is very literally haunted by at least one ghost’ disclaimer. Was there even one? At least it doesn’t sound like the Ghost Host is entirely familiar with the advertisement either. “That part was straightforward enough.”
