[Action/Telephone: All]

Jun 14, 2011 23:07

[At around 8:30, which is just under two hours from when the ghouls vanished, when the mansion is free from the sounds of crashing, combat and impending violence, there suddenly rings out an almighty SHRIEEEK! from somewhere on the ground floor of mansion ( Read more... )

[Kanda may have been lying down in bed lightly asleep, but that shriek jolts him fully awake in an instant, and just as fast he's on his (bare) feet, Mugen in hand, throwing open his door and bolting down the stairs.

He's wearing loose cotton trousers but no shirt, and his hair is loose over his shoulders, but he doesn't pause for conveniences. For all he knows, those damn things are back again.

He gets as far as the landing of the first floor before he finds someone in his way.]

[On the first floor, a little down the hall from the staircase, Allen was also jolted awake by the sound of (apparent) distress. He emerges quickly from his room, also without having chance to grab the pale tunic-like over shirt that he had removed before trying to get some sleep, and makes his way quickly to the stairwell.

As Allen moves to make quick work of the stairs, he notices Kanda coming down from the second floor and stops before they physically collide with each other.]

Kanda?

[Action] kandescence June 15 2011, 21:14:57 UTC

[Kanda hadn't been planning to stop, but now there's a damn obstacle in his path in the form of the Beansprout. The swordsman scowls, pulling up short and skidding to a stop just before they actually run into each other.]

Tch. Get out of my way, Moyashi. There's something happening downstairs. [He doesn't so much as bat an eye at Allen's state of undress, being too focused on other matters for the moment (at least for now).]

[Action] excommunicated June 15 2011, 21:26:11 UTC

[Allen scowls, opening his mouth as if ready to give some retort before the telephones across the mansion start ringing very suddenly.]

Wha--?

[He glances around a couple of times in confusion, though he makes the assumption that the scream from earlier and the telephones ringing may very well be related. Allen's attention is still very much on what caused the scream though and he is less interested in a fight with Kanda. He nods toward the stairs, indicating Kanda should go first.]

Go on then.

[since the night didn't give her much of an opportunity to sleep, furiae was trying to catch up, unsuccessfully, after the disappearances of the monsters. she was starting to drift off, her window curtains still drawn, when the shriek pierced straight up to her bedroom, making her leap and effectively ruining any attempt at getting any rest.

she picks up the telephone in time to catch the end of the tirade, wincing as the noise grates on her ears after a long night of uneasiness and fear.]

Ah ... excuse me, but ... the damage wasn't our fault, madam ... [she tries to keep her voice firm despite the exhaustion and her continued confusion about how a telephone works, to only partial success.]

[voice] mysterium_npc June 19 2011, 20:10:02 UTC

[It would seem that Rosanna is having none of it. She clucks tersely through her teeth, evidently not appeased.]

Oh, and just whose fault is it, then? Eh? Little elves and goblins that came in the night?

[voice] living_sigil June 20 2011, 01:29:58 UTC

No, neither of them. There were ... strange monsters here, last night. Or perhaps men, wizards ... they were very violent. They came out of the mists and attacked the manor. I had meant to clean up, but I thought rest would be prudent first.

[voice] mysterium_npc June 20 2011, 18:05:01 UTC

[No small dose of sarcasm here.] Ohhh, wizards were they? Well I see, do excuse me. It'll be faeries dancing around in the larder next.

There ain't no such thing as wizards, young lady! And it ain't nice to tell fibs!

I'm afraid we were attacked last night, madam.

mysterium_npc June 22 2011, 19:17:53 UTC

And who would be wanting to attack you lot, then? If that is the case then I'll be betting there was a damn good reason for it. Who've you all been getting up the nose of now? You've barely even been here a week, for godssake! Have you even seen the state of this place?!

magisterialis June 22 2011, 20:37:49 UTC

[He answers with a little snap.]

If there was a reason, I certainly don't know of it.

mysterium_npc June 22 2011, 22:43:15 UTC

Well then I would suggest that you figure out the reason, because I am certainly not tidying up this kind of mess on a regular basis, thank you very much!

voice demguns June 28 2011, 01:55:16 UTC

I assure you, ma'am, Mary and Joseph had nothing to do with it, unless those were their ancestors haunting me for the ghost of all the dinosaurs I've killed.

There were vandals. It just so happened they all had robes.

voice mysterium_npc June 29 2011, 07:08:52 UTC

[While she doesn't know why anyone would want to come and vandalize the house (probably has to do with you lot anyway), that explanation does at least make some degree of rational sense. But actually that's not what's most startling about what the man has said. Rosanna is duly distracted from her tirade.]

The ghosts of all the what?

demguns July 2 2011, 03:32:11 UTC

[lord almighty, she had to pick on that one. becker rolls his eyes maturedly.]

Nevermind. Suffice to say that we were under attack last night and we valiantly defended the house as we can, like good knights.

mysterium_npc July 2 2011, 20:00:44 UTC

[Faintly, like she's not really even talking to him anymore. (In fact, what she's doing is starting to plan the tirade she's going to turn lose on Taylor the moment he walks through the door.] You're all mad. Every one of you. Stark raving.

It's knights now. Next there'll be dragons. They must've mistaken the asylum. Clear on the other side of town...

[Action] bindlestifflost July 8 2011, 22:50:58 UTC

[George hadn't been exactly...asleep...more like almost passed out from all the stress and the craziness of the night before. He still wasn't completely convinced he wasn't losing his mind. He kept trying to tell himself that the eyes he saw beneath those hoods weren't glowing and that the one glimpse of a...face...if it could be called that, hadn't looked the way it did.

The shriek had him bolting upright. He was still fully dressed as he ran out into the hallway. He didn't bother with the ringing phone. Someone was screaming. Those things could be back. He skidded to a stop near the housekeeper, eyes wide.]

Are you OK? They didn't hurt you, did they? [He was very wild eyed as he looked about, as though any minute one of them would jump out of a shadow and attack again. He only just resisted the urge to grab her by the shoulders and look her over for damage.]

[Action] mysterium_npc July 8 2011, 23:30:48 UTC

[Of all the things she might have been expecting, this is so far from being one of them that it completely brings her up short, cutting off her tirade before it can even properly begin. She stares at him wide-eyed.]

Hurt me? Who? [Surely not those two half-naked boys, the one of whom had stalked off to heaven-knew-where and the other who'd just been banished to sweep up the neighboring room. Uncouth as they were, it had never occurred to her that they might be threatening.] What are you talking about?

Re: [Action] bindlestifflost July 8 2011, 23:40:43 UTC

I heard you scream. [He runs a hand down his face, looking harried. He glances away.]

I thought...well, obviously I was wrong. [His eyes still dart to the shadows, as though he expects something to jump out of them at any moment.]

We were attacked last night by...[Monsters. No, he can't say that. She'd think he was off his rocker for sure.]...by a bunch of weirdos in robes. I don't know what they were after. They seemed keen on getting into the basement, and they didn't care who they hurt to do it.

mysterium_npc July 15 2011, 23:08:48 UTC

The only thing hurt here was my poor eyes and soul upon seeing the state of this place! [She gives a disgruntled, but not entirely angry huff as her hands come down to rest upon her hips. This young man's concern for her seems to have derailed her from the anger she's been unleashing upon the others thus far.]

Robes? What kind of robes? That doesn't make any sense to me since there's no-one like that around here. [She pauses, though after a moment she sees fit to give George another question.] And what might they want in the basement? [She fixes him with a pointed stare.] You lot aren't rum-runners, are you?
