(Accepted !)

A weaks had passed since the incident and nothing new had happened out of the ordinary, sure there were a few run in with other residents but nothing was truely said beside common civilities. By now you had started to belive that the encounter with the deer creature was just a dream and the whole thing had started to slip your mind until you were awoken this morning by somthing large running at full speed down the hall followed by a sharp, angry barking, right outside of your appartement.

This is what brought you where you were now, standing outside of your door as you contemplated the desaster that had been left behind. At eye level on the wall, right on the opposite side of your entrance was now a single human size pawprint of, somthing. A large potted plan had fallen to the ground and several sets of smaller pawprints as well as footprints were littering the carpet. Your neighbour was already trying to do damage control and cleaning the mud while muttering to himself while his dogs was still going craisy inside his appartment.

I start walking to wards my neighbor and ask "what happened? Do you need any help?"

(i'll give it a pass for now but please remember the 3 lignes minimum rules next time, it will be important in the long run to develope your character and all.)

The man stopt his attempt to do damage control on the stained carpet and glanced up at you from his crouched position. " Uh ? Oh, i-it's nothing, i am dog-sitting for my girlfriend's sister for the weak, no idea why but the moment i got out of the elevator both dogs went insane. That's kind of wird tho, i never saw them act like that before, sure i was warned that they liked to chase squirels but that was somting else."

He seem to have given up on the mud trail on the generic red and yellow flooring and picked himself back up on his full height. "Well, look like i will have to deal with a cleaning service, sory for the whole scene usualy the dogs are very friendly so it realy came out of nowhere... anyway their owner should get them back in a couples of days, until there i'll try to make sur there wont be a repeat."

(Ah, sorry, it slipped my mind)

"No, no, its fine, accsedents happen. They probably just saw something" i replyed. I waved goodby and headed back insinde my apartment. "Hm, I wonder what set the dogs off" I thought to myself. "I dont think they would go crazy over nothing". After a bit of pondering, i head over to my computer and try to reaserch what I just stumbled uppon

Most of your researches were giving little if any type of leads onto what had happen. On the third page of your motor of research however, stuck between yet another training program for dogs and a quize on what dog you should adopt was an article from a small blog. Animals as detectors : your compagnon may see what human eyes cannot...

The small description beneth the link was mentioning the word Outsiders quite a bit, witch immidiately reminded you of the replies you had gotten when asking about the deer.

"Hmm, intresting, I wonder what that would be". I sat thinking about what and Outsider would be and why it was connected to these weird experiences. Madey there would be some clues or hints on these ouside where the nabour was. I head back outside to study the seen

Outside, the neighbourg had already went back to his appartment and the dogs had stopped to bark. Going back where the trail started, on the old and quite possibly cheep carpet you could clearly see the pawprints of the dog, starting from the place where the potted plant had fell over but no prints from the thing they were running after. From what you could see the two pets were of medium-ish size and not nearly big enough for them to have caused the large plant to fall over by simply running pass it. As you follow the trail, you could see three points where the dogs had stopped for some raison. The the first had a few pale blue glass pellet, almost shaped like scales there but the two following it were clearly from being catched by their dogsitter before thye could make more of a mess.

The wall if front of your door still had the massive, five fingered print, almost as large as your head and at eye level. Not only was it very unlikely that a dog would have been able to leave that kind of marking behind, the substance that was left behind was not dirt but somthing akin to a clear oil of some kind. It had already started to dry and from the sight of it would probably not let any visible stain once it was fully dryed up.

I pick up the blue glass pellet things then take some pictures of the seen, trying to get in all of the details. I head back inside my appartment for a second and put the glass in a safe place, where I know I wont lose it, then head back out. "I wonder if there is anything else in the hall? This thing would have had to come n here somehow"

The object felt cold and slightly slimy between your fingers, it somhow reminded you of the feeling you would get from holding an handfull of fish scales. Once you had the strange objects safely placed in your home and that you went back on the scene, you realised that it was about as mutch information the hall would give you. Luckly for you tho, the hall only had two exit one in each direction with only a minimal amount of branching path usable. If the creature was still around there were not alot of places they could have went too. Outside of others appartements, the choices were limited to that small communal room, used primarely by a few elderly residents, the bathroom and maby the janitor closet since the lock had been broken a few months ago.
