He carefully followed but even he could see the "distant" feeling that it had. "I would think years, maybe ten at least?" He thought it was probably more though because dust was easy to stack on but even then you had what seemed like no to little upkeep and that was a bad sign. Xanthe Wingard

The tinned food they’d found in the larder was a lot older than ten years old. The dust when it built up didn’t really tell you much about the passage of time. So sifting the evidence Xanthe replied “that tinned food was a lot more than ten years old. Yet the meat wasn’t. Also we’ve seen so little furniture so somebody who lived here cleared out. I think somebody else used the basement at least even if they never tried to live here. That body we found was most likely dumped here but it also looks like nobody has been back. So I think after you find out a bit more from the records it could be a case of finders keepers”. Her view at least if there was no records of ownership available. Hayden Quinzell

She did not seem to bothered by the body and he was okay with that because he expected that people always seen things that they did not talk about. "Finders keepers is a logic I have learned to live by in hard times." It was not always about being into what you found but appreciating what found you. Xanthe Wingard

Xanthe knew she wouldn't be doing exploration like this forever. She figured she'd be doing something in front of a camera or microphone in her future given her media skills. Quite what she had no idea yet but she'd need to figure that out once she got home. "Ownership of the house also includes its associated grounds. Even if you can't use this opportunity right away its going to be there for later" she mused. That was how she seen it as the searching continued. They did disturb rats and birds from time to time and the rooms looked just as abandoned as that one. Even the rooms they got opened up with kicking in the rotten doors. So that left going into the loft once they found that way in. Hayden Quinzell

He thought it was a good thing that neither of them were too skiddish and even then he took a second but going up into the actual loft he felt good about as he pushed a door open and waited on Xanthe. "This part seems to be together okay but who knows, I do wonder what this seems like it was heavily used and then abandoned though as times change some people do not need things as they once did."

From what Xanthe could see after she shone her flashlight about the loft didn’t have much in it either. Moving around she seen old tea chests which only held paintings once they were checked out. “I’m also wondering why it was abandoned as a big house like this is a generational home” she mused. Pulling out one of these paintings she noticed the woman was dressed in a 1920’s style so she wondered when people stopped living here. That led to other questions like how other momentous events in world history affected this island. “You’ll have a puzzle to put together but this woman looks like she was around in the roaring twenties. A century ago and there must have been others before her” she added turning the painting over. There was nothing to indicate a location it was painted but a very faded label showed a Florida address. The people who had framed this. Hayden Quinzell

The twenties? "Guess I better get my 'sister' busy on that time machine then," he said. "If we could go back and see this then it not only would be amazing but it also would give us more clues and that has me excited even though I already hear all the danger bells going off too." Xanthe Wingard

"Is she truely able to make a time machine?" Xanthe posed. She never dismissed the impossibility of something but even that seemed like a long shot in scientific terms. "We've got clues right here if we can get a good look at these pictures" she added. So she started the process of pulling these out of the t-chests and disturbing a few rats who still feared these invaders from the outside. "Why would you leave things like this when a photo album wasn't even left?" she also posed quite calmly. At least they'd phones to take photos of these. More light got provided when they located and opened a skylight as well as improving the air quality. Hayden Quinzell

"Maybe they thought that no one would ever come out this far?" It did seem like there were a lot more questions than answers at the moment but that was life. "We have no idea what they went through but maybe they thought it would be safe here, the memories of it at least?" Xanthe Wingard

They knew a few things for sure about this mansion. The building still seemed fairly solid even with the neglect it had gone through and with enough funds and help it could be brought back to life. A lot of questions still existed with few answers but determining previous ownership of the house and grounds was the starting point. "That might have been the case. When the old town was built this mansion was well out of the way but I think the house is older than the town. What made them leave is a mystery but you'd take something like family portraits. They made sure to take everything else of value" Xanthe replied. So by the time they got to look at all the portraits it looked like some where earlier and others older than the twenties. "A broader time frame seems to be in play" she added. Hayden Quinzell

History he did not know if they were seeing it deeply or if it was history in the making but he knew that this was deeper than anything that he had thought he would see and that was okay. "Hm," he said. "This is deeper than I thought but I am still ever so curious." Xanthe Wingard

“There might still be enough fragments of information to check when I get home but having a family name would be a good help” Xanthe observed but there was so few answers available. “If we can discover more about the past it could build up the future for this mansion. Perhaps even your own families future” she added. She could see Hayden living here eventually. So turning the paintings over she also photographed the backs of them. “I don’t know if there’s anymore to find here but I do think you have a project in your future”. Hayden Quinzell

"Me either but at least it gives me something to look forward to." He hoped Xanthe would enjoy herself on and off the island and maybe if/when she returned he'd have some work done. Xanthe WingardEND AdminXanthe Wingard, send me a msg if you want a pt2, i'll check this account more lol.
