Perhaps we'll give the residents of the Mansion a few days to recover from their sudden upheaval -- HA HA, not likely.

Besides, this isn't a simple little demonic trick. This is not the Anthony J. Crowley journal you're looking for (hand wave, Jedi mind trick, etc etc) because all of a sudden, the Mansion has manifested the ability to initiate ( Read more... )

The Mansion sits in silence, everything inside it coated in a heavy layer of dust. It's waiting. It's plotting. It had reluctantly released its captives for a while -- back to their native books lands -- but that was only to lull them into a false sense of security.

He's a distinctly beautiful little boy, standing still on his own and looking around.

"I have heard there is no official leader here but I have also heard that there are numerous leaders in their own right - kings, queens, others in authority. I would like to speak with any of you, if you please."

As always Shinou's manner is commanding and regal yet friendly and approachable. Feel free to speak to him - even if you're not royalty

*Because he was bored, which is a dangerous thing for a puppet to be, Mercutio has set up a card table in the main room of the mansion, decorated with posters. On top of the table is a tray of delicious looking muffins (they're harmless, courtesy of Alcuin) and a painted shoebox with a hole cut in the lid to serve as his cashbox ( Read more... )
