REVERIE: Twisted Reality

Day 1: The People In The Mansion... Are Not All Friendly

Alexandria Lennon

"I know this seems daunting at first, but I'm sure that in time you will come to love it here."

I looked at him in disbelief.

'THIS PERSON IS ALSO CRAZY!'

I should get him out of this room without provoking him so I can think of an escape plan.

"...Alexandria?"

I was brought back to my senses when I heard him call my name.

I looked at him and I couldn't believe how worried he looked. 

He was looking at me assertively to see if there was anything wrong with me. 

I gathered my thoughts and did my best to muster a sincere smile.

"Thank you for your hospitality. You do not have to worry. I am fine for now. If possible, I would like to have some time alone." I said kindly.

He was still looking at me assertively so I kept the smile on my face as I crossed my fingers in my mind.

'Please leave! Please leave! Please leave!'

I almost sighed in relief the moment he smiled but I stopped myself.

"Right! Of course. You would need some time to sort out your thoughts!" He said in the same cheerful voice he had the moment he came in.

He turned his back and started walking to the door. 

I put a hand on my chest to calm it down but he suddenly looked back at me so I plastered a smile once again.

"I will be in the living room if you need me!" He told me cheerfully then he reached for the door.

"But please do not wander carelessly in this place. The inhabitants here, well... they are not all friendly." He said seriously before heading out.

I was taken aback by the sudden seriousness in his voice.

'Was that a... threat?'

I shook my head and regained my focus.

I need to start planning and make sense of these things.

-

I think an hour has already past and I still haven't found a single clue about this place. 

I checked for anything I could find in this room but all the cabinets contained were dresses, perfume, makeup, and beauty products.

I was still debating if I should get out of the room or not.

I peeked out of the bedroom and decided to get out when I saw the corridor was clear.

I sneaked around the mansion again to look for an exit.

(30 minutes later)

I was just roaming in circles like a while ago.

 I took a right turn and opened a door but Joker was there.

He was surprised to see me enter the living room.

'Haha.*sarcastic* I was surprised too. Nice going, Alexandria.'

I mustered a smile as I walked towards him.

He stopped what he was doing and smiled back at me.

"Do you find everything in your room to your liking?"

"I suppose? Sorry for being a bother." I apologized sincerely.
