Carters Odd Encounter Sr Aristotle
Carter spent the evening organizing his newly purchased property, which was cluttered and felt imposing under the minatory shroud of the night. A sense of unease crept up as Carter noticed strange, infrequent creaks around the house—the typical sounds of a settling building, he assumed. However, his false sense of solitude was broken by the clear sound of a door closing somewhere within the property. Embarking on a quiet investigation with a hint of trepidation, Carter's senses sharpened as he tried to identify the source of this unexpected noise, only to be met with a deepening silence.
Suddenly, the distinct sound of stealthy footsteps suggested the presence of an uninvited visitor. In an attempt to evade detection, Carter quickly concealed himself, trying to quiet his breathing and remain undetected. From his hiding spot, the suspense intensified as the intruder's footsteps grew louder, indicating his approach. Eventually, the figure of a man emerged into the darkened kitchen, his face obscured by the dim light. Standing ominously in the center of the room, the stranger examined Carter's belongings without a word, his heavy, deliberate steps echoing through the silent space, a stark reminder of Carter's vulnerable position. The encounter hung in a tense balance, a precarious situation unresolved and filled with quiet dread.

In an untouched kitchen like a glossy magazine page
It is night, about 49F(9C) degrees, and the sky is partly covered by dark grey clouds. There is a waxing crescent moon.
(Your target is abducted in their sleep, waking up alone in a locked room. They need to either escape or draw attention to them so their allies can come and provide assistance.

Carter is shuffling around with some various items around a newly purchased property, apparently trying to tidy up the place as it was in some disarray at the time of acquisition.
The property purchased is in quite the state - not unmanageable, but 'ready' wouldn't be the best description for it. There's a lot to sort through, and as darkness covers the home, made worse by the dark clouds, it seems to make the work feel a bit more daunting. Save for a few creaks that occur from the building just settling, it's largely quiet. Though, after some extended period of time, the sound of a door closing can be heard from somewhere in the property.
Carter blinks a bit, before squinting, eyes darting towards the sound of the closing door. "Huh..?", he intones quietly, looking back with some scrutiny, setting a couple things down as he works, occasionally casting a furtive glance towards the creaking sounds.
The sound of the closing door seems like it would come from the front entrance of the property. After the sound of that door closing, there's silence save for Carter's quiet intonations. There is nothing further that occurs as Carter sets his belongings down, and those furtive glances towards the creaking noises don't reveal anything of note. But, ultimately, the sound of footsteps can be heard moving about the property, and given how they sound - heavy, but far in between, it's clear it's someone trying to be stealthy.
Carter's glancing about, doing his best to control his breathing, silencing himself. Heavy, far-between steps have him on edge; eyes look about the space before he resolves to conceal himself in a manner that might render him hard to find, tucking himself away, listening quietly.
As Carter tucks himself away, to listen, each step becomes clearer, and clearer, and clearer. And, unfortunately, closer, and closer, and closer. From where he hides in the dim lighting, he can make out the silhouette of a man stepping into the kitchen. His face can't clearly be seen given the dimness of the ambient light, but his shape can. He stands in the center of the kitchen, and it's clear he's giving a visual search of the room, looking at the items Carter was most recently sorting through. He doesn't say anything, but he slowly moves about. Each step resounding on the floor with a thud, thud, thud.
