[IC] Curse of the Beasts

"Yes I have been studying the healing arts. I like helping people. Knowing how to heal is very useful. I know plenty. I am a fast learning. I have been studying healing for years. I will do whatever I can to help." Liz told him honestly. She was thrilled that he was willing to take her to the house. Once she saw the boys she might be able to help them. Or at least she might be able to ease their pain.

"Well, now, that's interesting..." The butler murmured quietly as he continued walking. The jars in the basket on his arm clinked together quietly, and a few odd-looking bundles of herbs peeked out from a place where the cloth had not properly covered, but Val didn't seem to notice at all.

Several minutes later, the mansion began to peek into view from behind the trees. "That is the place just up the hill, young madam. Before we go inside, though, I suppose you should know a few things. There's no hurry to enter as it is, anyway; I imagine that the young masters need a moment to...ah...finish preparing." He smiled just as cheerfully as always at the girl, almost chuckling to himself at the thought of what the boys could possibly be doing at the moment. I hope they haven't been too embarrassed yet. They'll never make it if they can't manage this at least.

"In any case, how much do you know of the rumors?"

Marlix followed his younger brothers "who knows? For a "faithful butler" he certainly takes plenty of time away from the manor." Marlix commented. Perhaps he was just being grumpy, which was relatively common for him.

"I don't really pay attention to rumors. They're usually more wrong than they are right. I know that something...different lies in these would. I know that people think its the boys in the mansion. I don't know if it is or not. I believe in magic and curses. So its possible that they are responsible for the deaths and disappearances without meaning to be. I'm here to find out." Liz told him honestly.

The butler nodded. "Very well, then. You should have a very interesting perspective on the matter. I'll warn you now, the young masters are most likely very...different from what many people in the town may have encountered before. Please be assured, however, that no harassment will be tolerated, so please let me know if you face any difficulties with them." Turning toward the door as they approached, he soon stopped to search through his pockets for a key. "They are generally good people, though they tend to be a bit tricky to keep up with at times."

Ruko shrugged, taking a moment to fix his glasses. "I'm sure he has his reasons. He did say that he had to pick up supplies, after all. And besides, he's always done a good job with his work in the past, I think." Honestly, the butler was still a bit odd to him, even after having known him for as long as he had. He really did do strange things at times...

The bespectacled boy shook his head slightly and pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind for the moment, as he turned another corner to where the ballroom entrance was. By the look of the purple and blue petals he could see peeking under the locked door, there would likely be a few more things to find here.

[NanixErka]

Marlix followed his bespectacled brother, just wanting this to be over. It was so tedious to him. He had things he wanted to do!

[ShadowVentus]

Having been silently following his brothers this entire time, Inigo listens in on what what they have to say about Val. He faintly smiles at their speculation. "We ought to cut him some slack. I mean, aside from the supplies, he probably just wanted to take some time to enjoy nature and breathe in some fresh air. That, or possibly, he could be returning with more than just the usual goods." He suggests, feeling that this time around, Val might be bringing back another girl.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Ruko shrugged again. He honestly wasn't sure how many people were supposed to be arriving, and he wasn't sure what other supplies Val needed. Pulling on the door to the ballroom, he eventually stopped as he realized that it wouldn't open. "I guess this is what we need the key for. We still have it, don't we?"

[NanixErka]

Marlix took the key out of his pocket "indeed we do"

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Ruko took the key from his older brother and opened the door, revealing more of the blue and purple petals leading them in. The ballroom looked mostly as it usually did, except for the trails leading to two doors at the side of the room. On each of the doors, a note was left, one labeled For the Young Masters, and one For the Young Madam. As the brunette approached the door for he and his brothers, he noticed that there appeared to be another set of instructions.

For this room, you all will be receiving another costume piece. Once you have selected an item from the temporary dressing rooms here, I ask that you take a moment to recover the three packages I left here. Two of them are for you and one is for the young madam. Please be careful which one you pick up, however; I regret that I could not find the time to label them properly.

By now, I'm certain you know who's items are in the room. If not, there are some mirrors in the dressing rooms to help you.
The locations of the packages should be written there as well, so I don't want you skipping out on costuming. It wasn't easy to get them all done in time.

Glancing over at the other note, Ruko noticed that it mentioned very much the same things, but in regards to their guest instead.

"Off we go for round two of our adventure." Zack commented. He headed out of the room. Hopefully this would get better. Or more interesting. He doubted that they were impressing their guests very much. At least they weren't scaring them. That thought caused him to bite his lip. They would scare them eventually.
