in slater, alone, eating dinner. there were suddenly some very loud noises - like construction hammers? i yelled "hello" very loudly like i was in a horror movie - no one responded but the noises kept going. should i leave
update: there were these repeated "muah-hah-hah" sounds that seemingly came from nowhere, right outside the window. the banging appears to have come from downstairs, but it's ... dark????
update 2: at this point i was getting terrified & couldn't focus on my dinner — the banging was so loud i could literally feel the table vibrate. i got up & paced the living room, hoping to isolate where the noise was coming from, but it seemed to come from ... everywhere?
for all you domestic students, the slater dining room is one long wooden table & the living room is a bunch of old-timey chairs. (pictures from another time) also it's 7 pm & my dumbass kept the lights dim so at this point i was certain a masked figure would f*cking stab me
regretfully, i put my hoodie back on (thank god it has my name at the back), stuffed my soggy scallion pancakes back into my bag, and headed for the door. the 1) loud banging and 2) repetitive, low-pitched, cartoon-evil sounds kept on going.
& here's the thing: the literal moment my foot stepped out the door, the banging completely STOPPED. i waited on the porch for a min or so (they reoccurred periodically when i was inside) and complete. dead. silence. save for the wind, ofc; there was 0 air circulation in there
& here's the other thing: when i got out of there, the eerie devil noises kept going !! but when they crowed along with the wind, i realised that it was
