Jesse grinned. “Cool. Those dragons look awesome. I wonder if they’re just for decoration.” He stood up. “That guy never said we couldn’t stand up and walk around, so…”

Amyr's eyes ran over all of the items, the swords, the wallpaper. Everything. He found them all to be interesting in their own right. He finally found himself looking over at the piano sheets. Smiling softly. "Just lovely," he whispered. Though he couldn't see them well from where he sat, he could recognize some of the songs.

"Oh, probably," Taran agreed. "I choose to ignore anyone who has dumb ideas." She moved to pick up a sword, running her hand along the blade.

Jesse ran his hand along one of the dragons, curious. His gaze flitted about the room as he inspected the decorations, carefully looking around. He smiled at Tori encouragingly.

Tori stood up and walked over to the dragon above the door. She was too short to reach it, but she could look. She circled the room, her brown eyes taking in as much as she could.

[ 1:45 PM ]

The dragon heads looked like they were some sort of mechanism that could open. However, the one by the monitor looked like it needed some sort of code. There was something shiny inside yet if the dragon head doesn’t open, there was no way of getting it. The code consisted of two alphabets together as if they were an initial of someone and another letter which only consisted of A to G with the words Minor and Major following it.
(Four parts)

The piano piece on top of the pile was of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No.2, The Resurrection. The piece was known for its heart shattering sounds and eerie tones. Perfect for a fancy yet creepy mansion indeed.

The sword, though cleaned, seemed relatively old. There were even initials on them. “A.F.” was on the blade part of both swords. They looked used and, to some degree, even looked magical.
(Get the reference? :>)

The dragon above the door also had a code for it. It, however, required only three things; two letters with dots, signifying an initial and a color palette. However, it seemed like this one was a bit harder to reach as it was on the dragon’s cheek, extremely hard to reach.

“So are we just, like, looking around until the clock chimes and they decide to let us out?” Jesse asked no one in particular, still studying the room. He ran a hand through his hair, a nervous habit that he had.
He wandered back to the dragon, noticing the alphabet stuff. “Or do we find our own way out?”

(Noooo, I totally don't get the reference.)

Taran grinned, picking up a sword and swinging it through the air. "These are awesome. I wonder if we can keep them?" She shook her head. "Nevermind. I'm keeping it. I want it." It slashed neatly through the air. "I wonder what AF stands for," she wondered outloud.

"I guess." Tori walked back to the dragon, which had caught her attention again. "It looks like this dragon's mechanical."

“I think it’s some sort of code,” Jesse responded. He went over to the dragon above the door. “They both are. Maybe a way out? It looks like initials or something.”

"Maybe this is a puzzle!" Tori studied the dragon again. "The letters A through G are musical notes, and Major and Minor have something or other to do with music as well. Thanks, fourth grade music class."

"Well," Amyr began. "in my knowledge(aka mine XD), This piano piece here, The Resurrection, is in the key of C minor. So that could be something." He said.

Tori looked back at the dragon, then at the swords. "There's a spot for initials here. Maybe the initials are the A.F. on the sword."

“This dragon has a…color palette? That’s interesting,” Jesse mused. “And more letters. Hmm. We should try those! Is there anything else in here that has letters on it? Or a color that seems significant?”

"There's a painting in here," Tori gestured at the sunflower painting. "Maybe that's the key to the color palette. Or the vase."

[ 1:50 PM ]

Jesse turned to look at it. “Maybe. But then what would the initials be? Are there any initials on it?”

The sunflower painting looked like a replica of Vincent Van Gogh’s masterpiece; the Sunflowers. However, the Sunflowers were a series of paintings and this seemed to show only one of them. There was something else underneath the painting. It was a white sign that reads: 6th August 1945.

The vase had some flowers in it, namely roses of a white hue. Nothing was spectacular about the vase except for the small symbols on the side of the vase’s interior: VIICCLXVI.

Tori looked at the vase. "Does anybody know roman numerals?"

"I do," Taran said, looking up from the swords. "Do you not?"

"It never really applied to my life, so… no." Tori motioned toward the vase. "What are these numbers in… normal numbers?"

“I do too,” Jesse added from his spot near the dragon above the door. He glanced back, assuming that Taran had it covered. The puzzle required letters, not numbers. Maybe it was the sunflower painting? V.G., for Van Gogh?
