The room had been almost empty and seemingly deserted when Hunny found it. But he knew it was the perfect place for the Host Club meetings. A quick look told him it was about the same size as the music room that they used at school for this ( Read more... )

Hunny has a piece of paper in his hands and he jumps -- jumps! -- trying to pin it to the noticeboard. Making a face, he looks around and pushes a chair over to give himself more height, finally placing the following ad.

It's sometime on New Year's Eve and a small blond boy comes dashing through the doorway to the main room of the Mansion. He has a pink toy rabbit in his arms and he looks very excited - so excited that he doesn't at first notice that he's in a different room to the one that he expected ( Read more... )

Inspired by Ariel's shenanigans a couple years ago, Merlin has opted to, once again, attempt to spread some holiday cheer.

Fuchsia Groan, at a distance, would look like she is sleeping.

She is beneath a large tree she would have neither the inclination, nor the knowledge to identify.  To an observer, one would see a young woman, much younger looking than the age she thinks she is, who neither beautiful nor ugly.  She has long black hair, that always looks a bit wild, ( Read more... )

A sign has appeared on the wall of the main room of the mansion. It reads:

There was some magical chaos about
a month ago within the mansion.
This was all my doing.
