A history of the house

"It's a list of journals and diaries left by the owners of this house throughout the years," Sasha says. "It's got all kinds of weird stories."

Jeanette peaks her head out from behind you in interest while Astrid and Isabella stop arguing for a brief moment to listen. "What kind of stories?" Astrid asks.

Sasha looks back at the book. "Well, it says that most of the owners were known for fortune telling and love potions. The families had business in covens all over the world, as far away as Australia. People used to come for them to help them with their romantic desires and sex lives."

Sasha trails off. "Uh, mostly the latter."

"These people sound like fun!" Isabella says.

"People sure as hell didn't come to Old Maggie Southwork for sex advice!" Astrid mocks.

"Yeah, it looks like she was the daughter of one of the last fortune tellers in New York," Sasha says. "Turns out the people there thought they were just sex fiends that tricked people into lives of debauchery. They ran them out of town and no one ever heard from them again. Maggie heard the news and got pretty bitter about it."

Jeanette raises a hand up for attention. "Um, okay, that's all nice, but why are we naked?!"

"I'm not sure," Sasha says. "Says here that the tellers would give their hardest customers challenges to 'overcome their personal fears.'"

"So, like, they made people come out of their shells?" You ask.

"That's bullshit!" Astrid says. "I'm not scared of anything! That book is a lying piece of crap!"

"Really?" Isabella asks. "You aren't scared of anything, Ms. Tiny Tits?!"

"Stop calling me that!"

You think to yourself about what Sasha had just said. Could there be truth to what she was saying? Was there some deeper reason behind the group's loss of clothing? Why else would Jeanette, the shy girl, give you a striptease?

Then again, it could just be that Old Maggie was a closeted pervert and wanted to see a few naked adults in her house.

Astrid notices you have your mouth open to speak. "Got something to say there?"
