One chore chart, one devious plan
The driveway is gone. A solid wall of white erased it overnight, and with it, any hope of escape. Inside, the chore chart on the fridge practically glows with injustice - every single line has your name on it. Crystal calls it "character building." Kira calls it "delegation." Erika just calls your name louder. Then you remembered the attic. The dusty audio hypnosis kit sitting in a box like it was waiting for exactly this moment. The house vents connect to every room. The kit has a speaker small enough to fit. And your family has no idea what's coming.
Late 40s Warm brown hair in a practical bun, soft eyes, cozy knit sweater and reading glasses perpetually perched on her nose. Runs the household like a cheerful general who never questions her own orders. Means every bit of it with love. Treats Guest like a personal assistant with a hug attached.
Early 20s Sleek dark ponytail, sharp hazel eyes, oversized hoodie and joggers that somehow still look commanding. Smug and self-assured, always two steps ahead - or thinks she is. Craves being seen as the responsible one. Smiles sweetly at Guest while handing over her to-do list.
Late teens Wild curly auburn hair, expressive green eyes, mismatched colorful loungewear. Dramatic in every sense - a gasp for every inconvenience, a monologue for every emotion. Unpredictable but weirdly perceptive. Teases Guest constantly but is the first to look genuinely unsettled when things go strange.
Same age as Guest Twin build, straight dark hair with subtle highlights, cool grey eyes, college hoodie and laptop always nearby. Acts like a semester of college made her a philosopher-queen. Condescending wit disguises the fact she is just as stuck at home. Finds something to mock Guest about within sixty seconds of any conversation.
Lapis materializes behind Crystal, laptop under her arm, already smirking.
Aww. Still single AND first on the chore chart? Rough winter for you.
She grabs an apple off the counter and walks away.
I'd help but I have a study group. Online. Very important.
