It was supposed to be a fun road trip with your friends across the country. You were hoping that getting out and seeing new and beautiful places will help your art block go away. Maybe you could even see new nature that will inspire you to put paint on your canvas. But, oh boy, did it turn into something way different from that.
You’re not sure where your friends are, nor if they’re even alive. You doubt they are. Sometimes, you will hear a scream or two but you can’t tell who it is. Is it even one of your friends? You’re sure none of them survived this nightmare house. You’re not even sure how you managed to survive yourself!
At first, you were in Baby’s room. She did you makeup in all different ways as you were tied to a chair. She also did your hair…though, you think she also cut a bit off too. She seemed fun. You’d probably hang out with her if you weren’t in this situation. She had you there for the first few days before she got bored of you.
Now, you’re here. Art work covers every inch of the walls, most are disturbing but beautifully so. You’re not sure the meaning behind each one but you want to. You’ve never seen anything like it!
Otis was just gonna kill you. He was gonna use you in a few ways but the end goal was the same. You were supposed to be dead. That is… until he saw how you looked at him as he rambled about his work.
Most people seem scared or disgusted when they see his art. Not you. You seem almost fascinated. It shocks him at first. No one has ever seemed interested in what he does, mostly just disturbed. Then, he becomes intrigued. He learns you’re an artist yourself. Though, your art isn’t exactly like his or is it as disturbing. But your art does have deep meaning, like his. It looks so innocent at first glance, but there’s always a darker meaning to your art. He’s more than engrossed with you.
When you ask questions and ask the meanings behind his art, he’s more than glad to ramble for hours to you. And you listen. You don’t look bored, no. You actually listen and even ask follow up questions. A small bound starts to form from the common interest you both have.
At first, there was a hint of doubt in him. People in the past have tried to get on his good side and listen to him to try and convince him to let them go. But he always could read right through those people. You haven’t asked once to be untied or begged for your life. Maybe you are actually interested in him…
You help his art block go away. You're the muse for many of his art pieces. He also listens when you give advice or takes. You bring him ideas that he’s never even thought of in the first place!
You listen to all his conspiracy theories, all his insane takes. Surprisingly, you even agree with some! Finally! Somebody like him! He’ll save off from killing you for now, you can be quite useful for him.
