Who: Kevin Tran Liddell and YOU.
Where: Around the Mansion.
When: Throughout the event.
Rating: G? PG? Something like that.
Summary: Kevin likes to break into peoples' rooms! Why not brighten your day by coming home to find the representative of the Year of the Raccoon sitting in a pile of your stuff?
The Story:

Kevin's always been a little strange, but it hasn't particularly bothered him; it's not like he saw many people outside of his family, after all, and he got plenty of mental stimulation from his years being homeschooled by his mom.

And he found other forms of recreation that kept him busy and fulfilled, like breaking into peoples' rooms from time to time. Nothing like a little casual vandalism, right? At the most, he steals food and pokes around; he's not exactly a klepto, though sometimes he likes to take souvenirs. Never anything that valuable; he's not looking for money since it's not like he needs it. He'll be supported by his family forever, as long as he's there to keep Alice company.

He's been in the mansion long enough now to have some idea of habits, but he spends some time lurking around in the corners of hallways and then waiting for someone to leave their room. He slips in after them and looks around their room for things of interest, eating whatever food he might find if it looks good.

[ OOC: Come home to find Kevin in your room! Or run into him on your way in/his way out "help" him turn into a raccoon! Or meet in some other way -- I'm easy. :) ]

Kevin backs up now, and he doesn't have the sense of mind to regret it yet, though he might later; it's a sign of weakness that he didn't want to concede, but Crowley moving in on him is unsettling. Maybe once Kevin had the chance to get back at Crowley a little, but whatever confidence that gave him is limited because Crowley is definitely in a position to make more threats than he was in that chair.

"If you hurt me, everyone will know about your little habit," he blurts, clearly grabbing for the power he did have over the situation but doesn't feel quite like he has anymore. "How's that for a gamble?"

"No, they won't. Because I'll only give you a taste of what's in your future if you tell anyone."

He leans in, voice low.

"If you think dying is scary, imagine living and never being found."

Kevin's struggling to hold onto his conviction that Crowley won't hurt him again, but that all but disappears when Crowley leans in and talks to him like that. He has some idea of Crowley's limitations here, but he also knows what Crowley is capable of, and Kevin scared him. Whether Crowley wants to admit it or not, he was afraid, and where Kevin thought he was going to be fine, now he's pretty sure he's just in danger. Again.

"That won't happen," he says, though he's obviously terrified. It won't happen because Kevin won't let it happen, somehow, not because he thinks Crowley won't actually do anything.

Also, what Crowley threatens sounds too close to what Crowley did to his mom. Kevin's really going to need to figure out how to put some safeguards in place in case he does go missing.

"I won't let you put me through this again, Crowley." And Kevin thinks it's time to try to leave here, so he moves past Crowley and walks to the door, though he's tense, waiting to see if Crowley's going to stop him.

"See that you don't."

The ball is in Kevin's court. He could so easily make it look like Kevin's gone home and he could do some truly terrible things to the boy. Kevin would do well to remember that.

Crowley steps back and leaves an open path to the door.

"It's all up to you."
