A guy? 👀 What kind of guy???
“Uh... there’s a guy in there.”
That immediately shuts the others up.
Kevin describes the scene on the other side to Dan, Seán, Brian and Daithi.
It’s a massive round cave chamber, almost too round to be natural
and in it, according to kevin, is “some ghost zombie guy all chained up”
(brian: ghost zombie??)
(kevin: yes actually so shut up)
(seán: wait how is he chained up if he’s a ghost?)
(kevin: zombie ghost and they’re ghost chains)
(seán: huh)
Daithi questions why he can’t phase through the rock but apparently Kevin, a human, can
(he is quite bitter about this)
kevin has no idea
they decide it’s probably a monster-proof thing
Dan then reminds everyone that there is a captive ghost zombie on the other side and they should probably A) help him or B) run away
Seeing as Kevin is the only one who can do the former, he practically pushes him back through.
Kevin re-emerges about 10 minutes later half-expecting the other Lads to have retreated back to the mansion
But they’re all sitting (or, in Daithi’s case, floating) not-so-patiently there for him
So Kevin explains:
It’s some guy either called “Peter” or “Ryan” (his accent was very strange and Kevin made out those 2 names the most so he’s sticking with them)
he died just over 100 years ago while he was working as head servant at the mansion (or at least, a servant but he seemed to hold himself in high esteem)
apparently the mansion was attacked by a horde of zombies??
it had not occured to kevin that zombies existed that long ago
all the other staff were killed/turned in the attack, but PetRyan managed to survive despite being bitten
he also noted that none of the residents of the house were either suprised nor affected by the attack
they were vampires (but also very rich and famous nobles of society)
they were arguing about abandoning the house when PetRyan caught them in the living room
they couldn’t understand why he wasn’t dead either, so they performed some sort of blood ritual to trap him in one of the tunnels underground so that he couldn’t expose them
they also made it so that no supernatural creature would be able to enter to rescue him
they also warded the mansion so that it would be very unappealing towards humans (who would be annoyingly be unaffected by the spell)
so the poor guy had been trapped there for 100 years with no clue as to what actually happened that day or why he survived
Seán: “...”
Seán: “...so you got all that, but you didn’t get the man’s name?”
Kevin: “IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL STORY. I WAS INVESTED OK.”
Dan: “...Well, I guess we’d better try and help him then.”
Daithi: “It’s like a proper mystery, isn’t it?”
Kevin: “We could be like the Mystery Gang from Scooby-Doo!!”
Brian: “...”
Brian: “Kevin”
Brian: “Kevin we’re monsters”
