13 Day Horror House- Day 4: “The Groundskeeper/Gardener.” Mossy Mike
After a lot of talk, only around half of which you can parse, Kitty Klock takes your hand and rushes you inside, doors slamming firmly behind you. On your now somehow bare feet, you note the floor appears to be made of a fine, moist moss. The little butler drags you over to a hallway filled with vines and leaves of many kinds, pushing you in front of an imposing-looking stone gargoyle, slouched over on an impossibly large mushroom. You raise a hand to wave, unsure if this one is as alive as everything else seems to be, but before the thing can respond, your clockwork companion pipes up.
“Mikey, is it okay we go down here? I gotta find the Missus, and we gotta get the live one a good room. You don’t mind, do ya?”
The thing--Mike, apparently-- nods its head slowly, then points its tail down the hall. You think it’s staring at you, but for all you know, his face might just be stuck that way.
