...we came in?
[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.
In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.
All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.
Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.
...
Now.
Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

Emma's just going to come over around the side of the well, peering down into it before looking over at the woman.]
Aha... perhaps it's not best to wash away any spiders of any size, if those rules are to be believed?

[She holds the rope in place for the time being and gives a conciliatory wave of the hand at the girl.]
It's a figure of speech, figure of speech. Traditional song where I'm from!

[Emma holds up her hands as if to dismiss the thought. She's smiling, albeit a bit nervously.]
I believe I've heard it sung before. I just couldn't resist making a joke about it, given the circumstances.
Have you managed to get any water up from there yet?
[They can survive on limited food, but keeping hydrated will be important if they intend to stay alive...]

I've been at it for a little while now, but this will be the first load I actually raise! It's better to check on these things before getting too invested... But if you'd like the first taste, I wouldn't at all mind!
no subject
Ah, no, that's all right. If you'd like help with raising it, though, I'd be happy to offer what I can. I am the one who interrupted you, after all.
no subject
[She shifts on her feet, so the way the rope weighs in her hands is visible in front of her body facing Emma.]
Are you sure it wouldn't be more trouble than it's worth to both hold the rope at once? But actually, something has been bothering me for a while. I didn't want to bring containers with me before even knowing if this would work out! On the other hand, going all the way out to get some and bring them back here would be a hassle...

Perhaps upstairs? I had seen a room with what appeared to be maid uniforms. I didn't investigate it too thoroughly, but if it was intended for servants, perhaps there might be some kind of bucket up there?
[How else are they going to mop? ...Well, given the state of this place, they clearly just don't, but still.]
I can run up there and check for you, if you'd like.
