[IC] The Many Mysteries of Lavenshade Mansion ~*Fantasy RP with Ghosts*~

[SephietheEvil]

Lavenshade Mansion stands tall but horribly worn in the middle of Shinkuro Woods. It's roof is made of jagged and loose tiles, the paint chipping, windows are boarded up, and doors are squeakier than screaming mice when disturbed...yet, the Mansion still holds an ancient air of grandeur and elegance. As if it used to be quite the place to be in a much older, better time.
Now, in it's wake, is only the silent, eerie woods surrounding it, and the mysteriously empty town not that far from it.
Inside of the mansion, it's just as bad. Holes in the floor, stairs with sound effects that make the average person cringe upon stepping, and cracks in the walls. There's something else there, however. A large amount of ghosts, demons, and angels bustle about inside, for something...interesting has just begun.
"Abernathy! Abernathy!"
A spotted cat's ghost rushes down the stairs of the mansion and down to the ground floor, where a larger ghost in the most unusual form of a velociraptor in a top hat stands. She comes to a halt in front of him, but does not stop hissing his name.
"Abernathy! Abernathy!"
"Oh? What's got you so excited, Amelia? Another bird outside of the window?" The human soul in the guise of a reptilian beast chuckles jokingly.
"Not this time!" Amelia replies. "Abernathy, Negloria has seen new people. There are living beings coming towards us! Do you think they're here to talk?"
"Living beings, hm?" Abernathy seems quiet interested now. "How wonderful! I've so longed for a day where I could chat with someone living again from farther away, beyond the reaches of Negloria Town! The last person like that we got to see...how many years has it been?"
"4, I believe." Amelia answers, licking a paw.
"Well, that's just far too long, isn't it?" Abernathy laughs once more, then turns towards the mansion's grand front doors. "We should give our new guests a welcome to remember, then!"
Right outside of the large, imposing, decrepit mansion, a lone girl stands. The chilling, usual breeze that seems to come from around the mansion lightly plays at her skirt and jacket. She takes her earbuds out and listens for anything odd.
"...Nothing." Minako murmurs to herself. She's about to put her earbuds in again and head inside, when she notices something in the top window of the mansion.
It's a small girl in a white dress, staring right down at her.
Before Minako can really react, the girl turns away from the window and vanishes just as quickly as she appeared. Minako stares at the mansion hesitantly before letting out a small sigh.
"Well...I came all this way..." She tells herself while walking up to the front doors.

"HEYo sorry to bother you! Is this the mansion? Hi my name is Joerose." seeming to have appeared out of no where he sticks out his hand in a sudden motion. "Nice to meet you, man i'm sure glad to meet a living on." He seems to have boundless energy and high spirits for whats going on.

[Snarfulblast]

"Well looks like thats the place eh Lucas?" "Indeed Jhon just tell me what tipped you off that this was the place was it the sign or the girl in the window?" Lucas says very sarcastically. "Hmph well at least we know there are ghost in there."says the cat on Lucas's shoulder. "Hey more dead people finally." says the just now appearing elven looking girl. "What do you mean finally we have seen other ghost right?" "No we haven't Jhon this is the first place with actual ghosts in it." The cat purrs as Lucas scratches under it's chin.

Entering the fray alongside everyone else is a boy, who of which seems to be from the same school from Minako, signified by his uniform. However, he sighs at the sight of so many people. "Might as well get this over with..." He says as he walks past the ragtag group of people to stand beside Minako, only now removing his earbuds.

[TheGodofTacos]

The ghost turns sharply around to greet to sounds of the new people. "HEY Neew bodies nice to meet you all. " He took a big ol look at all of them with a big smile until his eyes fell to the other ghost suddenly all the happiness left him. "Oh...I didn't know that we would be joined by other ghost." His voice now empty he asks "how did you die?"

[Snarfulblast]

"Oy what do you think your doing we where here to investigate this place first." Jhon says to the boy walking past them and to the others there as well.

[TheGodofTacos]

Moves quickly to intercept the boy as he was walking up to Minako brightening up as he got closer "Well hello and nice to meet you!" circles the new one the robe flowing in the wind clearly as if it had a mind of it's own. "Why what is thou name good sir?"

[Snarfulblast]

"Again we where here first." "Actually we where second the girl was first."the cat says again pointing to the girl with her tail. "Oh shut up Lilly." "Hey don't you dare talk like that to Lilly." both Lucas and the elf ghost say in unison.

[SephietheEvil]

Minako lets out a small gasp of surprise when Joerose suddenly addresses her. She flinches a bit when he suddenly sticks out his hand to greet her. She blinks slowly. 'I thought that the ghosts were supposed to be INSIDE of this mansion...' Minako thinks to herself as she calms down a bit. She clears her throat. "Um...hello. I'm Minako...and yes, I believe this is the mansion." Minako nods in response. She looks behind the ghost and sees other very...uhm...interesting characters walking towards the mansion. 'Guess I'm not the only one who found out about this place...perhaps that's for the best. I'm not sure if I'd want to be here alone...' Minako thinks to herself again, right before she catches sight of someone else walking towards her, wearing a school uniform similar to hers. "You're telling me, I-" Minako begins with light conversation with this one person who actually looks relatively normal, but she's quickly interrupted by Joerose's interception of his path. She sighs helplessly. 'Maybe I should just...get everyone inside.' She says in her own thoughts, then turns to open the door. It creaks open with a painful, cringe-inducing noise. The inside of the mansion is fairly dark, as the only light coming through it at this time is the light that makes it through the trees of Shinkuro woods, and down through the windows. Minako steps inside carefully. "...Hello?" "HI!" "G-GYAH!" Minako jumps back and almost trips down the stairs to the door when a huge set of sharp teeth comes way too close to her face. "Oh, dear me! I do apologize! Please don't be frightened! I won't do you any harm. Here, I'll change my form for you, my dear." Abernathy pleads with her, then shifts himself from a velociraptor with a top hat and an X'ed left eye to a large, fluffy rabbit with the same features. He steps out of the way of the doors, bowing. "Please, do come in. It's been so long since I got to talk with outsiders!" Minako is still a bit shaken, but in the end, she lets out another sigh, and forces herself forward into Lavenshade Mansion.

[Snarfulblast]

"Umm are you seeing that?" *SNAP*"Yep got a picture dude."Lucas puts up the camera."Well I guess me and Fred are going in Im surprised I always thought that ghost could only be seen if they wanted to be seen." "I guess this mansion is causes a strange occurrence in the ather." Lilly murmurs. "Yeah I guess so." says the eccentric Fred. (this is the elven girl in the chefs outfit.)

[ShadowVentus]

Moves quickly to intercept the boy as he was walking up to Minako brightening up as he got closer "Well hello and nice to meet you!" circles the new one the robe flowing in the wind clearly as if it had a mind of it's own. "Why what is thou name good sir?"

@TheGodofTacos

"The name's Makoto. Now, if you'll excuse me..." The boy states before simply walking past Joerose and into the mansion, following after Minako once again. He too, was able to see Abernathy in all of his fluffy glory. However, this didn't surprise him at all considering that two members of the party from earlier are ghosts.

[Snarfulblast]

"You know what I quit I keep getting ignored and ....."Jhon can't finish because the other already left him."Fine Im going home."He leaves and as he is leaving his head explodes then his chest explodes and finally the rest of him explodes. "Glad he is gone Hi I'm Riley used to be Lilly's husband but now Im dead." A white cat ghost appears on Fred's shoulder sitting the same way Lilly is on Lucas's.

[Ater FireSoul]

Just now arriving at the Manor, Ater says, "Ello everyone! I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" His eyes sparkle for a second. "I look forward to this trip and meeting new fellows!" Ater materializes a top hat out of thin air and puts in on his head, "It seems we share common fashion, Abernathy?"

[Snarfulblast]

"Oh hey dude."Lucas turns to see the newcomer.

[SephietheEvil]

"Ah, so many different friends to see! Oh, I'm just so pleased!" Abernathy cries out in joy upon seeing all the new faces entering the mansion.
"Right..." Minako nods slowly, making her way to the middle of the ground floor so that everyone else can walk inside. She glances at Makoto again, as well as everyone else (just so she can recognize the Lavenshade ghosts from the ones exploring the mansion). Minako turns back to Abernathy.
"So...who are you?" She asks.
"I, my dear, am Abernathy. Just your average, friendly, shapeshifting ghost!" Abernathy laughs. He looks towards Ater and claps his bunny paws. "Oh, good! I was worried that top hats were beginning to fade away! It's been so long since I knew anything of the culture and trends of the outside world."
"Are you this mansion's owner?" Minako inquires.
"Me? No, no. I'm but a trapped soul here, just as everyone else is." Abernathy sighs. "I'm actually just a human writer who happened to attend an apparently fatal party at this mansion when it was still a lavish masterpiece. I'm rather fond of the ability to transform into such wild creatures as this rabbit or the dinosaur fellow I just was. Fantasy was always my forte..."
"Does this mansion have a...well, a ghost-owner of some kind?" Minako asks him. As she speaks, a flicker of something running behind her makes her whip around.
"Oh, worry not. That's probably just Amelia chasing the crickets again. Lovely cat, she is." Abernathy reassures her kindly. "Ah, but if you're looking for the owner...I've no idea. The closest you might come to seeing an owner is Negloria...but, she's a shy one."
"N-Nelgoria? The same name as the town?" Minako blinks.
"Yes. She's the little girl who saw you from the top window." Abernathy replies.
"She looks...alive, though." Minako mutters.
"Well, she is. At least, I believe so." Abernathy nods.

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater says,"maby we should try to talk to her?, she seems interesting"

[TheGodofTacos]

"Well lets get this over with." The ghost sighs joining to group "I was wishing..." Stops for a second. "Never mind." turns to Abernathy "Hello my name is joerose and you are?"

[Snarfulblast]

Lucas turns again thinking to himself "Man that guys weird. Wonder if he's a ghost?" He looks at Abernathy "Hello Im Lucas this is Lilly*he points to the cat on his shoulder* Thats Fred*he points to the elven girl* She's a ghost and the cat on her shoulder is Riley he is also a ghost. We are here to investigate and record the supernatural activity here. Im the camera guy and would you mind if I took a picture of you Mister... Abernathy was it?"

[Ater FireSoul]

"Wow, this is an interesting group isn't it?" says Ater He tips his top hat and says, "can't wait to hear all your story's" He does a little jig, "I'm so excited!"

[ShadowVentus]

"Nelgoria...what is an undead girl doing here of all places?" Makoto inquires, assuming she's undead based off of the fluffy bunny's description of her. Seeing Minako turn around to only see nothing, the boy is able to safely assume that it was just some paranormal activity.
