[ The wind chimes, the ever-present observers in the witch's home, begin to frantically sing once the stranger and the monster crash into the living room through the magic portal.
Combined with the loud sounds of her walls and furniture being knocked over and destroyed, Amelia Eva Steinbeck's gut feeling plunges even deeper than she ever thought possible. The impact nearly makes her fall face forward, spilling the contents in her wine glass while she was reading on her e-reader device. Swearing under her breath, she sets the glass down, the device still in her hand. After prepping for post-winter-break assignments, she was ready to settle down and just read for fun before her focus was forced elsewhere.
She closes her eyes. Takes a deep breath. Opens them again. ]
Alright. Guess my winter break isn't going to happen.
[ SNAP!
With a snap of her fingers, the wind chimes fall silent and instinctively, Amelia grabs the open wine bottle she has just opened, swiftly exiting the library and towards the source of the disturbance. It's the guttural growls of an otherworldly creature and the hurried steps of another stranger, hopefully human, that lead her down the hall and out to her poor, poor living room and kitchen. Some of the wind chimes have fallen from the ceiling, tingling weakly on the floor.
It's the man in blue robes that catches her eyes first, but the dark and disgusting tendrils trying to make their way through what can only be a magical gateway is probably the first priority. ]
YOU!
[ The redheaded woman with thick spectacles calls to the man, gesturing with her wine bottle. ]
