(it's alright. I'm in the same)

(Thanks)

*turns her head at the sound of a voice*

Katsune: Are you the owner of this house? Sorry, I just was lost and the key was just there and so I...

*stands up and walks to the unknown man and looks at him with apologetic eyes*

Katsune: Haha, um, can you forgive me sir, and possibly tell me my whereabouts?

*smiles, but is really confused in the inside*

(Screw this *...* stuff, I'm writing like the rest of you.)
When I got to my room, I closed and locked the door, then the window. I then proceeded to seal them using my own magic. Heh, try and break in now. Now, what to do about that key? I must think about this. But first, sleep.

(I guess I'll do that style too since your doing it as well...)

~sisceal~
"Oh...Hello....Sorry, but I'm only a prisoner here as well ." I looked at her appologetic expression and smiled gently. "So you're looking for the owner eh? Maybe we can help eachother out here. You help me find him and i'll let you know all about this place?"

"Blah." I sat up, trying to tell what time it was. Not that much time had passed since I tried to sleep. Keyword: TRIED. That stupid key was really bugging me, as was the host and that...maid for lack of a better word. I got up, thinking I'd do a little sniffing around. As I was pulling on my clothes and various weapons (hehehehe), I heard an ear piercing scream.

I was relieved at the fact I had someone to guide me and quickly took the offer, "Oh sure, do you have any leads that might help me find clues to his whereabouts?" I smiled and thought to myself while awaiting for an answer. "I wonder if he has special abilities like me? Maybe that's why I was dragged into this place..." As I thought to myself, I began wanting to know more and more about this man I met.

Drake felt the cold cruel ground below, melt away in something soft and damp. He felt the wet fleshy grass tickle at his skin and dreamt that he was lying in a field of flowers. Their petals were tinted every hue concieved by man, some colors he could even begin to fathom. A feeling of bliss filled his chest as he allowed them to caress him. But the skies turned dark, and a feeling of dread came instead. The colors were drained from this beautiful scape, turning everything into a vile gray. Thin, sticky vines crawled out like spindly fingers and clawed at his flesh tearing away his skin, until there was nothing but muscle and bone. He cries were stifled as they forced their way down his throat and nostrils, hindering his ability to breath. They crawled into his ears, and eyes, blinding him, causing him to only hear their wet crackling.

Through darkness he saw a sliver of light and found his eyes were closed, though he was still being suffocated by something rather heavy. Opening hus eyes, he found himself looking up at a stone wall that climbed to open skies. He blinked and found he was choking on the sleeve of his coat, his arm damp with drool and the sick that he wretched up the night prior. He removed it out of shame and rolled over as he scrambled to his knees.

Drake was startled to find himself in a patch grass before a great mansion-castl-thing. Clutched in his other was an empty bottle of whiskey; He stood holding it close to him like an infant clutches to a bear. If one were to see his filmy swollen eyes beneath the mask, they would see that were glimmering with dazzlement. He stumbled drunkily towards the doors and studied them. Then he reached with a quivering gloved hand, torn at the knuckles and missing a finger the glove was, and knocked firmly three times.

I raced out into the corridor. Correction: I TRIED to race out in to corridor. I forgot to unlock the door. "Merde!" I swore in Latin as I hurried to undo my sealing spell and actually unlock the door. When I finally got out into the corridor, the screaming had stopped, but it still rung clear in my head. I looked up and down the hall, trying to figure out out where it came from. Then the screams started again.

~sisceal~
"Well...in all honesty. I was just released from my time in the dungeons. So I have no clue where his is currently, but, his darkness runs so deep that it should be no problem tracking him down."

~obsidian~
Another chunk of wall collapsed making a hole through the floor.*sigh* "I belive that repairs are a tad overdue." With a quick wave of my hand the walls and floor began to mend.

I ran past Obsidian, then skidded to a halt and turned to face him. "Did you just hear screams?"

minami* silence. my heart is raising*
*2 trees collapse in front of me and i begin to run*

all i could see is the beasts face *i scream on the top of my lungs and start to run*
(monster looks like this... pretend its like 20 feet tall)

minami: i think i got away from it *hiding behind tree. out of breath*

"Oh, kirajen. There it goes again!" Not waiting for a reply, I spun around and blasted out the door. I heard the screams coming from about eight miles away. "Merde, how am I going to get over there?" A slow grin played across my face as I realized how. I jumped into the air, letting my black wings unfurl as I flew straight and fast true towards the screams.

minami*i care hear it breathing.. but i cant see it...*
(thinking) how can i loose something that big?*

is it safe... should i stay or run

Alice and I stepped out of the portal behind Obsidian. "Sisceal has been released Sid." I lit a cigarette.

"I could have done that,love."I smiled and stood there with him,watching the walls rebuild themselves.

minami* i dont have anything to fight this thing with!! dam itt
*wat can i do...*

*another tree next to me collapses im running again*

A few minutes later, I caught my first glimpse of the commotion. A girl cowered behind a huge boulder (or is it a tree? IDK, whatever) as a ...thing sniffed around on the other side from her. "$%^$#! What is that thing?" It turned to me and I saw it. "Oh, a Minotaur. How quaint. I didn't think Obsidian the kind to keep a Minotaur. I thought he would be the kind to enjoy actually doing the torturing and murdering. Huh."

I smiled and said, "it's alright, let's work together." I lend out my hand for a hand shake, "I'm Katsune Ichinose, as said by many, a demon. You are?" I look at him with a truthful look, something rare in my terms.

minami: i know!
*hows that spell go... dam*
minami: agh i hope i do this right *closes eyes and is mumbling to herself a bunch of words*

suddenly the the trees roots and vines near the minator start to come alive and attempt to pull it down but its to strong

(Oh hi Kay, I'm so using that nickname now...:)

(heey, nice to meet ya ^-^..)

(So...nice weather we're having yes?)

"Damn, that won't work. You have to take the bull by the horns (hehehe) and use a whole lotta voilence!" I pulled my swords out of their sheaths and divebombed the Minotaur, slashing at his eyes, while at the same time, using darkness to bind his arms and legs so that he wouldn't break one of my wings. I'm a bit funny about that. I flew upward just before he broke his bonds. He glared up at me as I smirked and said, "Well, me bucko, don't worry. That was just an introduction. Hyah!" I threw my swords and they embedded themselves in his eyes.

(Stara is fighting her butt off and they are talking about the weather???)
