So, at one point, there was a Beauty and the Beast themed roleplay on this site that featured four 'beauties' and four shape shifting beasts. I did not come up with the original, but I thought that it might be fun to bring it back. Here's what I remember from the story:
A ways outside of a secluded town, there stands a mansion that houses four cursed brothers. The four each carry the mark of their curse, an image of a rose, somewhere on their bodies, and must deal with turning into monstrous creatures under certain conditions. Because of the effects of this curse, the people of the town came to fear the inhabitants of this mansion, and it was rumored that the girls that went missing every once in a while were eaten by the beasts. The brothers stayed at the mansion, watched over by a caretaker for most of their lives, but this caretaker's passing and the changing of the marks to indicate the furthering of their curse sent them into a panic. More people started to disappear from the town until finally, in a panicked state of their own, the citizens decided to offer up four girls to the monsters in the hope that they would leave the village alone. And so, the four girls were sent to the mansion as sacrifices.
The brothers are running out of time before they turn completely, though, and if they do not find a way to be accepted for who they are, they may be doomed to terrorize the land as monsters forevermore. At the same time, though, can the girls also find acceptance where others fear to tread?

I'll have to see what else I can dig up/make up about this story, but is there any interest for something like this?
