Chapter IV: Can It Be?! A New Chapter!
Last time, on It Happened in September, Jennifer stole some stuff. Happy with her findings, she goes off on a quest to find more loot in the mansion! And maybe even find her friends. But mostly to steal more stuff. Will she be able to get out with both her swag and her life? Read on and find out!
After opening the door there wasn't much for her to see; definitely nothing to N-ha Ee Sh* about. It's just a lonely hallway, with only a wooden box and a nest of straw at the end of the hall keeping the room company. Curiosity possesses Jennifer again, and she goes to the nest in order to see if there was anything she could steal. She tries her best to reach it, but her height keeps her from doing so. She spots a plank in the corner, and uses this new tool to poke the nest.
Just as she disturbs the straw, however, a crow flies in to rescue her home. The angry bird caws at Jennifer as she lands, now there to guard her perch. Jennifer would knock that bitch out with the plank, but it's not in-character for her to harm animals. She feels it is best that she come back later to check the nest, and leaves the hallway.
Now Jennifer is back in the room where she did not see Anne skewered on a pair of demonic scissors and pushed through a colorful glass skylight. Remembering that the other doors on this floor were all locked, she goes down the steps she flew up only minutes before. Seemingly dancing around the shards of glass, she makes her way to the other side of the room, where two more doors stand. She tries the one on her right; locked. The tries the other, filled with relief when it swings open. If it were locked too, she wouldn't know if she was at a dead end or not! She enters the new hallway, wondering what she will find.
From what she can see, there are two doors, one on the right wall and the other at the end of the hallway. She goes through the first door and finds a kitchen. As soon as she enters she can smell something that's a mix of rancidity, rottenness and not-too-pleasantness. Jennifer covers her mouth and nose in order to keep herself from vomiting, and then searches the room for more stuff to steal—er, I meant clues. She decides to check the fridge first, which may or may not be the source of the horrible odor. Met with even more stench as she opens the door, all but a single slab of ham appears to be rotten. Struck with kleptomania once more, she picks the ham up and stuffs it into her dress. I don't know why anyone would want ham in their dress. I know I wouldn't.
Next she sees a little cupboard covered with tiny bottles containing liquids with odd shades all over the color spectrum. She reaches out to grab one with a substance colored a jubilant orange... Only to change her mind, as if she knew that something bad might have a 50% chance of happening. I guess she's not ready for that part of the story yet, even though she already has the item that will keep her from becoming Simon food. She pulls herself away from the cupboard and to what looks like a freezer. Jennifer slowly and carefully opens its door, only to be COVERED IN COCKROACHES. Quickly grasping the can of insecticide from earlier, she releases wet, sticky death onto the cloud of pests as if the can were a flamethrower.
As the bodies of the defeated roaches fall, Jennifer notices something glistening goldly on the freezer's bottom. Since she is free of the bugs she is able to crouch down and grab the strange item, which turns out to be a key. Hmm, I wonder where this goes to? Feeling as if she is done in this room, she marches back into the hallway. She goes to the door at the end of the hallway and finds what appears to be a large garage. There's a nice tan car in here; wondering if she can do grand theft auto as well tonight, Jennifer tries to open one of its doors, which turns out to be locked. Disappointed, she starts to look around a bit more.
Are you happy that everything's been going good for Jennifer so far in this chapter? Too bad, since the garage's wooden roof can be heard creaking and cracking above Jen's head. Jennifer looks up at the ceiling, being as confused as any normal person would. This can't be good. A few more creaks later it turns out it isn't, as Bobb-o crashes downward and barely misses hitting our heroine! Jennifer flees back into the other room, with the silent Scissorman right behind her.
Wow, Suebitch wasn't in this chapter! Awesome. This is my favorite one so far. But before I get off topic, will Jennifer be able to run out of this new race, or will she be dead last? Find out whenever the next chapter comes out! ... Possibly.
