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. Now it's back with a renewed sense of mischief ( Read more... )

Dexter was roped into this by the typists, so he's currently awkwardly standing in the room, wondering why this is the second murder he's been involved in since he's arrived. So much for a low profile ( Read more... )

A pale, young and handsome man saunters into the Mansion, looking perfectly irritated. Gesticulating in the air, he speaks with a smooth, velvety voice. "Honestly Louis, I won't have this discussion with you again! If I've told you once I've told you a hundred times..." The gentleman stops mid-step and takes in his surroundings.

Typist: ...well. That was brief. I believe that would be my shortest character intro to date. Anyways... I give you Lestat from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, re-typisted and memory-reset. He's been inactive for ( Read more... )

A young Frenchman leans nonchalantly against a wall, barely visible until he moves with a panther-like elegance. He has dark hair and eyes and a fine-boned grace, and is short, but every movement shows that innate grace and power. All he wears is a sweater and jeans, whatever the weather, but doesn't look sloppy ( Read more... )

*glances about and slowly smiles* *however, this is not what one would consider a normal smile; there's definitely something creepy and not-quite-right about it*

Hello, friends. I have returned after a ... *pauses and smirks* short leave of absence. I'm sure I was greatly missed by all.

Typist: I believe that Barty has been inactive for a ( Read more... )

A few days ago, I overheard two boys on the way to school discussing their favorite comics. Actually, it was more like arguing. They were going back and forth on just one topic, and didn't come to a conclusion.
