"145...146...147...148...149...150!!!" Serenity yelled to let them know she was coming. She wasnt usually silent about it like most people. She liked to tell them that their hiding time was over. She started to walk around and opened one of the doors. It seemed to be the game room. There were few hiding places here that they could hide in. Her favorite happened to be in the corner next to a couple of the other gave systems. The backside of one of them was open where she would usually stick her small body and close the door.... That was the first place she checked. She decided to go room to room to find the people. She heard some pots and pans as she was about to check the pinball machine. She ran out of the room and went towards the ballroom.

Louhi heard the pots clatter and thought top herself Well, that's one down. Now I just have to remain calm.

Serenity went to the cabinet where the pots and pans were swinging and opened it up. She moved her head to the side. "Hi Callum." She could tell by his figure in the darkness of the cabinet that it was him. She got up... well actually jumped up and went over to a room where there was a walk in closet. She started to look around the room and thought the drawers were too small for anyone to climb in so she went into the closet after looking under the bed. There were a couple boxes that seemed shifted for some reason, like they had been used to climb on. The only way she could tell was the small dent on the box. It couldve been from anything but she decided to check anyways. She jumped up to the shelf and shifted some boxes near Louhi. She didnt see anything but she kept looking around. Finally she saw her feet. "Hey i found you" She said happily as she jumped down from hanging on the shelf.

((The problem with hide and seek in a thread is that it's already known exactly where you're hiding. Maybe we should outline EXACTLY what's in each room and how big it is, and where in the OOC thread, and then we PM everyone but the seeker where we are so that way we know if we're cheating? If we do another round. Because this seems like it gives away too many things. And maybe we can mention if anything would be disturbed? Or is that WAY too complicated?))

Damn it. Maybe she should have tried the drawers after all. She shoved boxes out of the way, and jumped down. If they did another round, she decided she would leave hints in other rooms first, seeing as she had had plenty of time to hide.

(that would be cool maybe Pm others with where we are and have the seeker look in places and have us reply if we are or are not there)

((That ways too complicated... I wasnt going to be finding anyone in the next post anyways.... I mean yeah its a good plan but its just too complicated... I just used random numbers to see who i found first and kept having my roomie pic one of them.))

Serenity went into the Kitchen to see if she could find anyone there. She checked all the drawers, the cabinets, even the frigde. No one was there. She checked the armor suits and underneath all the tables she could think of. She went back into the arcade to see if she missed anything but decided to skip it and went straight for one of the front closets. There were two and both looked the same on the inside and out. She opened one of the doors and shifted through all the coats trying to see if anyone was hiding in or behind any of them.

(I like that Idea have someone else pick what order you find someone i can ask my sister when Amelia is it)

((Okay, cool. Because in real hide and seek you don't know EXACTLY where people hide, so it's a little weird.))

((thats why when i found Louhi she had shifted the boxes first not being able to find her for a few minutes then finally she found her after one more box... Im trying to make it seem more like hide and seek))

((Yeah. I know. I mean, this might actually work, and if it does we can keep doing it this way. It's just a little unnatural, is all.))

Alzeid heard someone open the closet and he stayed perfectly still. He could smell that it was serenity but he couldn't move. Part of him wanted to jump up and wrap his arms around her not careing i fshe sound him but he also wanted to play the game right. So he stayed perfectly still and could see her shifting threw everything and hoped that she didn't look under the coats at the back of the closet.

((Yeah lets keep trying to do it this way... sorry guys i fell asleep lastnight))

Serenity finished sifting through everything and looked down at the pile of coats on the ground. They must have fell when her mother put her coat away but she better make sure anyways. She picked up one of the coats and saw about three more which made sense that they were piled that high but she had to keep checking. There was nothing under this pile but there was another pile next to it on the otherside. She shifted through it and felt something stiff that didnt belong to a coat. It felt like a knee. Pulling off the rest of the coats, she smiled. "Hi Alzeid..." She said smiling then jumped up and searched through the other closet for her sister who was the only one left. She finished checking there and went to another room which seemed clean as well. It took her five minutes to check each room. Finally she went back to the game room and checked behind the pin ball machine where there didnt seem to be anyone. She checked her favorite hiding place again and then went towards the air hockey table where she looked inside the bottom of it. At first she didnt see her sisters figure in the corner but when she climbed in she felt her sisters foot under her hand. "FOUND YA" She said happily sitting up quickly. She hit her head on the tables bottom and brought her head down immediately... "Ouchies" She said rubbing the area as she climbed back out.

"Yeah. And don't worry, I won't leave any clues this time!" Louhi nodded confidently. She started to think about where she would hide next. Some place place where no one would find her... She smiled, and nodded. She had just the place!

"Fine. I won't make it too obvious though." Louhi sighed. To be honest, she was just going to hide. Whether it was too hard or not would depend on Callum, she supposed.
