It sounded like a few instruments. There was a tambourine, a horn of some sort, and a flute sounding instrument but did not sound as fluid as a flute.

"That song..." Tyrell began. "I've never heard anything like it. All I know, is that this is fu[i]c[/i]king creepy."

"This is genuinely terrifying..guess there'll be more than one asshat in here.." Arianna sighed, before she decided to take her chances. The Vileblood placed her hand upon the black door, before pushing it.
-
The door opened slowly but it did the open. Inside was a dark room and the music immediately stopped upon her entering. There were no windows, from what she saw, but there were Flames in the room so that light illuminated the throne room. It was wide and long and had the usual wooden throne at the end... But what she saw in the room was disturbing. Scare crows. They had round faces and large hats, each one had bulging eyes that were sown in(made of cloth) and pumpkin smiles that were drawn across their faces. There were Five of them. Two lined the left wall on their stakes and were positioned in between three torches. The right wall mirrors the left and in front a scarecrow sat limply on the throne. "What. The. Hell." Tyrell said as he drew a small pistol in his hand.
-
Isaac studied the flames upon the walk, as Arianna merely muttered "The fuсk..?", as a plan formulated in his mind. He sheathed his pistol, eyeing the crow's for activity, movement...anything.
-
But instead, he found something. The crow on the farthest right had something in front of it... A tambourine.
-
"...They're the ones that were playing.." Isaac muttered confusingly, before realizing: "G-Guys, t-they're.." "Shit." Arianna immediately figured out the situation, as she stared upon the right side of the room, Isaac to the left. "What about the flute? And the horn..?"
-
"Oh come ON!" Tyrell said in disbelief. "Really? You think a bunch of scarecrows are playing instruments? Come on." He continued as he walked to the throne. "The guy behind this is in here somewhere. We just have to find him and-ah! Here's your flute!" He said as he picked up a small instrument. It was in actuality an Ocarina. He showed the group as he stood and faced the two as he stopped in front of the throne.

It's a waste of time if they're not alive - but it'll be worth-while if we do, right? Besides, I've seen weirder shit than this - trust me, Yharnam does that to you." Arianna interrupted Isaac, as she looked over at one of the torches to the right, before walking towards it to see if it was retrievable - while eyeing the scarecrows, of course.

Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/22/2017 12:24:40 AM"C'mon Arianna. You can't-AGH!!!" Tyrell screamed. As the two looked at him, they saw a massive greatsword through his chest. He stood there for a moment before the greatsword ripped out of his body which nearly cut Tyrell in half as he fell to the ground as a bloody mess. Then, standing in front of the throne, a scarecrow. The ocarina dropped through the air but the crow grabbed it and tucked it in its belt. It's hat was brown, while the other scarecrows in the room had different coloured hats. This was the only one that was moving however. Then, it laughed. It laughed like a child which echoed through the halls. It slammed its massive blade into the ground as its movements were suddenly shaky, then slow. [spoiler]https://youtube.com/watch?v=5qY-gWF9AF8[/spoiler] The crow suddenly jumped through the air and did three front flips as it span around. It landed in the middle of the room and span its blade, Celtic blood flicking across the room which made it gleamingly clean. "Hehehe!" It let out. "Do you want to play? Let's play! Hehehe!"
-
"...Hey, we could...play instruments? I can play piano, Isaac's good with a violin!" Arianna nervously grinned, as Isaac shuffled to the other side of the room - she was right next to the torch, staring at the scarecrow and the remains of Tyrell.
-
The scarecrow suddenly stood up tall. It held its sword at its side as it looked at Isaac and Arianna. Then, it laughed. "Ya, Ya! Grab an instrument!" It told them. It gestured to the Tambourine and then the horn on the left side of the room. It dropped its greatsword to the ground and pulled out the ocarina from its belt.

Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 5/22/2017 12:51:09 AM[i]SPEECH INCREASED TO 16[/i] ((Skyrim reference, lol)) Arianna shrugged and nodded, sheathing her sword as she made her way towards the horn, picking it up and studying it for a bit before nodding. Isaac shakily picked up the tambourine, before looking up at the scarecrow. "Mr. Scarecrow...what about the other scarecrows? Will they participate, assuming that they are...well, functional?" Now Isaac was trying to play mind games - because Isaac was focused around getting out alive. Arianna was...well, she found herself liking the scarecrow a little, even if it did slaughter Tyrell. Just a little.
-
"Oh, no, they're sleeping right now!" It told the kids as it began to hop on its feet. Right foot up, right foot down, left foot up, left foot down. Then, it began to play the song the group had played before. But...would they be able to play along?
-
"Welp, here we go-" Isaac muttered, mimicking the scarecrow just as Arianna was doing: right foot up, right foot down - left foot up, left foot down. It was excruciating for Isaac, but he held in a yell as he began to play to the beat, recognizing the odd pattern to the song, as Arianna did as well. Their hope was that they did not encounter unknown bits to the song - then, they would either have to ask for those pieces of the musical.. ..or reveal their true purpose here.
-
The scarecrow danced around the room happily as they played the song. He took breaks to laugh as he seemed to be enjoying himself incredibly. "You guys are great!!!" He complimented the two on their musical improv as he continued to play.
-
"Thank you, but I'm sure that your friends are just as good, if not better. You are quite good yourself, friend!" Isaac forced himself to sound...cheerful, hiding away his pain from hopping and playing his instrument. He saw this as an opportunity.. "Mr. Scarecrow, may I ask - why are you here, in this lonely place? Surely, you could be making money, playing fantastic songs, in a better place with your fellows?"
-
"Money?! Why would I need that, hehehe!" The scarecrow said. "I like this castle! It's big! And roomy!" "Who are you talking to, hehe?" Another voice suddenly asked. Ari and Isaac turned to see a blue hatted scarecrow, the one who had the horn in front of it, Hop down from its stake. "Friends! More friends!" The tambourine located and pink hatted scarecrow said. "They can play? Can they play?" Asked the green hatted scarecrow which hopped down from its stake at the front right of the room. "Didn't you hear? It sounded like it! Hehe!" The red hatted scarecrow said as it jumped down from its own stake. Now, the room was filled with talking scarecrows.
-
Arianna personally enjoyed the scarecrow's presence. "This is truly a wonderful encounter - to meet all of you! But I have to agree with my brother - why stay in this castle, filled with the stench of the undead? I know that you cannot smell, but...wouldn't you want to share your great music with the rest of the world?"
-
The pink hat spoke: "The real world only shunned us! It's better that we live here where no one sees us!" "Hey, that's not true!" The main scarecrow replied. "I made friends with plenty of people from the outside! Like Zane, and Rorek, and Tywin! Hehe!"
-
Edited by Orn: 5/22/2017 7:31:51 PM"Zane? The hero, yes?" "Tywinn...the head of the Coldbourne family." "You guys have some interesting friends. Both of those guys are...well, at war. Tywinn killed his own son and now, he's devoted to taking the rest of the planet under his control, alongside his children that remained loyal. Which includes Felix.." Arianna went quiet, her hands pocketed within her dirtied grey coat. Her best chance now was to persuade the scarecrows against Tywinn.
-
"Ya! It's crazy!" The head scarecrow said dismissively to what Arianna had said.
-
Edited by Orn: 5/22/2017 11:39:49 PM"...You seem rather calm about the fate of the world being held in the palms of two of your friends." Arianna muttered. "My friends, you...are aware of what Tywinn is doing, correct?" Isaac piped up.
-
"What is he doing?" The pink hatted scarecrow asked. "He didn't spit on the ground again, did he?!"
-
"Nope. He stabbed and murdered his son in front of us, plans to take over the entire planet, actually attempted to murder me.. ..Said some pretty vulgar things too." Isaac noted.
-
"That's terrible!" The green hatted scarecrow stated. "Tywin wouldn't do that! He gave us company! You must be thinking of someone else." The leader told them in denial.
-
"Are you sure? Because if you go outside and see what's going on, you'll see what he's done, what his sons and daughter have done. Do you know why there is no one here?" Arianna sighed, shaking her head. "They're all either dead or zombies, thanks to Tywinn's son, Felix, who is assisting his father in Tatakai's conquest. We can only provide a description of Tywinn and our truth - it's up to you, my friends, to believe us."
