Introduction: Rattus Rattus

[goldenrattus]

He'd be the first to admit that he is just a rat, because no one in their right mind could want to be anything else. Looking at him, all one would see is a large black rat, of the common house type -- and of course a mansion this big must have rats, so his appearance can't be all that surprising. But he is no ordinary rat, not at all. He is Rattus

*...begins to SHREIK at the top of her shrill voice and does not stop*

typist: MAGICIAN'S HOUSE!!!!!! *is suddently sorely tempted by about a dozen characters, but should probably reread properly first ^^;*

[goldenrattus]

*oh, the woes of being constantly misunderstood! Can no one look past the small, furry exterior? ;__;*

*but, you know, as long as they're not going to anyway...*

*makes a hissy face :P*

Typist: OMG GET THEM!!!!!

[think_sequins]

*does not look past anyone's exterior ever really ^^;*

*eyes widen, scream crescendos- *

*- faints. Apparently retaining just enough self-possession to arrange her dress nicely as she does so.*

typist: ......ohh, woe and puppet temptation! *runs downstairs for books* Will read and ponder.. yay for holidays!

[goldenrattus]

*oh, we know that. :D Sorry, Christine!!!*

*squeaks at her in what is probably less-than-polite language, rather satisfied with the effect, and struts away with a dramatic tailflick ^___^*

Typist: Doooo iiit!! :D :D :D We're lined up for a Mary, but so far you're only the third person here who's read it. Which is tragic.

*ah, but Alice has met several mice who can speak and so this is no surprise to her; she must only remember, she reminds herself as she gets down upon hands and knees, not to speak of Dinah*

*pleasantly, curiously* Hello.

[goldenrattus]

*not a mouse, he'll have you know-!* *sits up, nosetwitching, and regards her*

Hello, little girl! *and whether or not she can hear his (cheeky, but friendly) voice in her head depends on her clarity of mind and willingness to believe-- with Alice, there's probably no question*

[onlyachild]

*no question at all-- she hears and smiles very brightly; perhaps she's been trying for ages to meet a small creature who would speak to her out of Wonderland* Oh--! You can speak.

[goldenrattus]

Of course I can. I am Rattus Rattus! *sketches a bow, as well at a rat may* And who do I have the pleasure of addressing?

[permanent_blur]

ah -- ! well, hello, there. *tilts his head, and offers a bit of cheese from a sandwich he just so happens to be making* hungry?

[goldenrattus]

*eeee, cheese! =^_^=* *nibbles at it, then leaps back and rather bows* Why, thank you, kind sir!

Typist choice if he can be heard, of course-- those who can clear their minds or are most imaginative will have the least trouble, so.

[permanent_blur]

*anyone can tell you that ros is so open-minded things have the tendency to fall out -- but the voice registers, at least, and he beams* oh, you're very welcome, sir. it's swiss, you know -- the cheese is.

[goldenrattus]

*the Magician would love him-- he lives in the Now to an insanely high degree :D*

Ah, the Swiss! Their navy wouldn't stand up to a swordfish, I must say, but their cheese, now, is of the highest quality! *tailflicks* I am Rattus Rattus, at your service.

[sweariwontdie]

*blinks* Oh my.

*crouches down because of his long standing policy of 'if it shows up at the Mansion try to talk to it'* Hello?

[goldenrattus]

*nosetwitch* Greetings! *and your call on whether or not Armand can hear-- if his mind is clear and empty enough, it could, but the books have no precedent for adults*

[sweariwontdie]

*not quite sure he hears it, but has experience with Kindred so keeps trying* *holds out his hand*

Did you say that? You're awfully small, monsieur rat.

[goldenrattus]

Who else is there? *looks haughty* I'm of quite respectable stature among my kind, I'll have you know.

[the_knowitall]

There are rats here? Mother wouldn't like that.

[goldenrattus]

*sniffs haughtily* That's not very nice of her, is it? How many rats does she know?

*typist choice on whether or not Encyclopedia can hear what he says-- having a still and open mind helps*

[the_knowitall]

Just possibly he has heard something, because like all young boys, he has set aside his fear because all he sees is a good looking pet.

Hmm. Nobody here but us. *reaches for Rattus again*
