"Right then." Persephone turned to Minori once more. "The door will probably shut a few seconds after I jumped, so you'll just have to find the button again... or be fast. Whichever suits you." She shrugged. If the Ookami decided to be a jerk and leave her there and was fine as well. She knew her way out of the funhouse... for the most part anyways.
Without further hesitation, the Tora took a leap of faith (quite literally), and jumped through the opening in the floor. There was a chute attached to the hole so she quickly (and violently) slid down towards the floor, landing with a loud "ooh" on an old, dusty mattress.

Minori waited a moment or two after Persephone continued onward. Should he follow her, or leave her? Both sounded like a good idea, but then again, since he was already lost enough he figured staying with his only guide at the moment(now matter how irritable she was) was probably the best option.
With that, he found the button Pers had used and jumped through the same thing the brunette had gone through. He slid down the chute, trying his absolute best not to shout every curse word he knew, eventually landing hard on an old mattress.
"Gah..." he muttered, getting up quickly and wiping off what dust he had on his shirt and jeans. "This is ridiculous!" he whined. "Should've left when I had the chance." Did he care that he sounded like a spoiled brat? No, not really.

"Oh grow up," Persephone retorted. "This is an abandoned funhouse. There's dust and traps everywhere. Now c'mon, I think there are some pretty sorry looking vampires somewhere around here." Well... whatever one's were left after she'd finished playing with all the coffins. Needless to say none of the rigs worked the way they should have once Pers got through with them.
Right on cue, a clearly fake cardboard cut out shot up from the floor in an explosion of dust. Persephone coughed, trying to clear her lungs. Thank God she didn't having asthma, or she probably would've keeled over in here at some point.

Minori had to take a step back from all the dust that shot out all of a sudden. He coughed a few times, keeping his hand over his mouth so not to breathe in anything else that might be lingering in the air.
He looked at the cut out a short moment later, frowning from disappointment. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." he said, walking up to get a closer look of it. "Is this honestly the best this place has-er, had?" It was kinda lame to be honest.

"Sad isn't it? I honestly prefer playing inside all the coffins. They're suprisingly cozy. I'm starting to see why Dracula preferred them over beds." It wasn't long before the Tora's short attention span took over. "Ooh look, a glow in the dark skeleton. Isn't it cute?" Actually, it kind of look like something Jane might decorate her room with. That girl was full of weirdly designing ideas... actually just weird ideas in general.
"Honestly, I don't think anything scares me after she let that stupid tartantula out..." Persephone muttered this more to herself than anyone else, but it was easily loud enough to be heard. "Damn spiders."

Minori's attention turned to the skeleton Pers had pointed out. Eh, it was certainly an improvement over the cardboard in front of him. He blinked and turned back to her at her last comment. "Who's 'she'?" he asked her. Might as well get to know her a little he guessed.

"Eh, my sister." Persephone shrugged. "She decided to "liberate" her pet spider Thomas and it had babies. Lots and lots of babies." She shuddered. "You don't know creepy until you pour out a bowl of Rasin Bran... and instead of granola clusters you get spiders. Bleck." She shook her head in disgust. "Trust me, it's not an experience you want to have."

Minori simply blinked in reply. Was that how all siblings where? If that was the case then he was glad to be an only child. "Alright then..." he said, looking around for whatever else might be around for them to mess with, he was kind of interested in those coffins she mentioned earlier.

"Ello Count, how are you today?" Persephone gave one of the fake vampires a friendly pat on the back as she continued through the dark hallway, trying to remember where all the various traps and rigs were located. She hadn't been here in awhile, so her memory wasn't at its best.
"Oh look, coffins." Persephone regarded them with a tone of faux suprise. They sat exactly as she had left them last time she was here, which was in the shape of a native-american-style teepee. What? She got bored. It was the only thing constructive she could do at the time. It was either that or rob a store.

Minori looked over at the coffins and blinked for a moment. "...Why are they set up like that?" he asked, turning to look at the Tora. He had a feeling they weren't originally set up that way, but you never know.

"Maybe the vampires are artistic," the Tora suggested. She shrugged innocently, although her smirk said that she had everything to do with the interesting coffin-formation. "There isn't a whole lot to do down here. They probably got bored."

"Uh huh." replied the redhead, walking over to one of the coffins. He took a look at it for a moment and opened it. It actually looked pretty comfortable. "Well I'm surprised, doesn't look too bad." he laughed. He would have actually stepped into it if he didn't think Persephone would try trapping him in there.

"Cozy, aren't they?" Persephone would've gotten in as well, but she, like Minori didn't trust the other person in the room not to lock her in. "The Count had the right idea when he decided to sleep in these things. Now if I remember correctly there's a switch somewhere..." She walked forward, over a part of the floor that should have been moving, but for some reason wasn't. However, halfway across the rig started working and the floor began to spin. Persephone ended up falling, muttering a string of curses that could make the hardiest sailor blush.

Minori snickered to himself when she fell, it was about time! Being the smart ass he was, started to applaud the Tora, a smug grin on his face. "That was amazing!" he exclaimed. "Simply beautiful!" he added. Hearing her cursing only made him want to laugh a little louder.

"Stupid fucking floor," Persephone cursed. "This thing isn't suppossed to work." The Tora scrabbled to her feet and kicked the spinning floor, which only succeeded in hurting her foot. Thankfully, she managed to get ahold of herself this time and refrain from cussing. Persephone grumbled something inaudiable and ran her fingers through her messy black hair.
"Well, apparently the broken rigs are working," the observed with a sigh. "Good to know."
