Text Cut: the very best Bria Quote:

She might not have shared the same reckless sense of adventure, but she wasn’t about to let her dormmate wander into a supposedly haunted building alone. Besides, what if there were bats in there? Or owls? Or, even better, crows? She LOVED crows.
The wind howled as they approached, sending a shiver down Bria’s spine. Not from fear. obviously, but because it really was chilly out here and her scarf had come loose around her neck. The Shrieking Shack loomed ahead, crooked and weather-worn, its boarded-up windows casting deep, hollow shadows that certainly gave off the impression that the place was abandoned, but also… not. Like a place that remembered things.
As Avalon reached the fence and sized up her climb, Bria hung back for a moment, hugging her arms around herself. "I dunno, Avalon," she murmured, eyeing the house with a mixture of caution and intrigue. "It's got a real badger’s den when the mum’s still inside kind of vibe, ya know?" But Avalon was already hauling herself up, brushing her hair back like she wasn't about to enter a possibly cursed, definitely off-limits ruin herself.
Because...like...there were probably loads of nests inside the building...and maybe some crows roosting as well...
"But that's what makes it interesting!" insisted Avalon, just as she hauled herself up with a huff, swinging a leg over. She balanced on the fence for a few moments, her breaths appearing in the cold air like little ghosts. "'Cause if it was just an empty den, then there'd be nothing worth checking out."
And with that, she swung her other leg over and slid to the ground. It wasn't that far of a fall, but a slick, icy spot on the ground caused her to stumble. Her arms flailed for a few seconds before she regained her balance - at which time, she threw her hands in the air like a gymnast who had successfully completed a trick.
She turned back to look at Bria with a grin. "C'mon! Bet there's gotta be a cool bird or something in-"
A twig snapped nearby, somewhere around the shack. Avalon froze, glancing back at it. That was...probably the very bird or some other creature that she was talking about, right? Probably something cool and...and not at all scary...
