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

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater looks over the group, listening to everything being said, and notices that the ghost, Joerose, is out of the group. looking around he spots him faraway, and moves so he can't see him anymore. "I'm gonna see what hes up to" Ater says to the group. Ater hurrys over to where Joerose is walking and asks, "hey, what are you doing? don't you want to be with the group?"

[TheGodofTacos]

Turns around the smile leaving his face once he see Ater. "Oh.. hi well i'm looking for the unholy and clues." Stares down Ater and reprise "You aren't holy yourself Ater do you want me to smite you?"

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater looks surprised "OH! I'm not corrupted or anything, I just look that way because of what I did in the past, I'm not evil." "I'm here to help, I'm good at drawing runes, if you need any help I can join you if you want... but it looks like your more solo." "and by the way runes aren't demonic, other people will say so, but its just another magic."

[Snarfulblast]

"Whats up with him hasn't he figured out that Joerose doesn't like other ghost it makes him sad I figured that out as soon as he saw Fred." Lucas says to no one in particular. "I wonder why that is so, he seems nice enough." comments Lilly.

[TheGodofTacos]

Still talking to Ater."Can you please leave me alone so I can focus on the building itself?" He leaves Ater hoping he can be by himself again "Well bye see you later."

[Ater FireSoul]

"ok, bye..., if you need any help come and get me" Ater walks back to the group

[Ater FireSoul]

when Ater heads back to the group, he grabs his necklace and takes out a red pen and draws some sort of symbol on it. you notice that the necklace has other markings on it too.

[TheGodofTacos]

"I must free the souls from this place" He finds an unopened door. "Whats behind door number one?" Passes though the the door in hopes to find anything at this point, he was ready.

[SephietheEvil]

"Sounds correct to me. Still, investigating this place would probably be the best way to find out for sure. It definitely seems that we can't just go questioning Negloria on that theory...it would be unsafe." Minako concludes in response to Makoto.
"Neggi is hiding in the upstairs closet again anyway." Amelia looks up at Minako and Makoto, circling back and forth around each person's ankles. "You can't go up there unless you have a way. The stairs have holes. They've dropped people into the basement before...and if they survive that fall...they won't survive the one who lurks down there."
"Right...another good reason not to go anywhere near the upstairs room for a bit." Minako nods slowly, looking a bit more concerned now. Whatever lived in the basement sure didn't sound very friendly.
Suddenly, there's the sound of shattering glass from upstairs, and a small wail starting up. Abernathy's rabbit ears stand straight up in attention.
"Oh! Please, do excuse me, I'll be back in no more than 5-10 minutes, guests." He seems incredibly hurried, using his ghostly ability to float and rush all the way upstairs.
"I wonder what that was about..." Minako murmurs. She doesn't have much time to ponder on it before there are more noises, which happen to come from behind the door that Joerose decided to pass through.
"C'MON, RENN, LET'S GO!"
"ELLYSA, STOP!"
The door bursts open, and a small demon girl with gray skin and black hair runs out. She skids to a halt upon being startled by all of the new people she sees in the mansion, but right about then, an angel with braids and armor runs out of the room after Renn, sword high in hand.
"I...I don't know which is scarier!" The demon girl whimpers with fright, her eyes glancing quickly back and forth from the group of newcomers to the rowdy angel.
"Huh?" The angel only notices the new people in the mansion after getting in position to lop off the demon girl's head. "...Is this...a rescue party for me?" The angel turns indignant and determined after assuming this of the adventurers. "I don't need any help! I shall find my way out of this ghoulish prison myself! The Havens shall honor my name!"

[TheGodofTacos]

looking back to the angle and the demon he states. "Well at least i'm not the only one that hasn't gone to heaven." He sighs then continues to find more doors

[Snarfulblast]

"Umm are you two fighting for a reason?" Riley asks the angle and demon. "I feel a great sadness coming from the beyond." Lilly says aloud "I think someone has suffered a great loss recently."

[ShadowVentus]

Minato blinks in surprise at the sudden appearance of Ellysa and Renn, but quickly snaps back to reality as he moves stand between the angel and demon, prepared to block her attack if such a feat were even possible against a spirit. "Sorry, but we came here of our own accord. Besides, if anyone seems to be in need of saving, it would be Renn." He states, taking a guess at the name of the demon girl currently behind him.

[Snarfulblast]

"Is no one hungry." Fred says dejectedly." I thought people liked food." "They do but perhaps everyone here thinks because a ghost made it that they can't eat it." Riley tells Fred trying to cheer her up. "But they can eat it I cooked for Lucas and Lilly before." Fred whines.

[SephietheEvil]

"That's incorrect! I have been to the Heavens! I lived there! I still do!" Ellysa shouts agitatedly at Joerose. "I just happen to be trapped down here for now, but I will find my own way out!" "Ellie, it's okay, we're all stuck-" Renn tries to calm the angel down a bit. "QUIET!" Ellysa points her sword back at the demon, but finds that there is now a human standing in her way. She blinks at Makoto for a moment, then laughs. "Renn doesn't need saving! She just needs to grow a spine!" The angel turns then to Riley with the same loud laughter. "Fighting? We're just sparring, right Renn?" "B-But...I told you I couldn't...I don't like fighting..." Renn continues to cower behind Makoto. "Tch, Renn, Renn, Renn. You'll never change with that attitude!" Ellysa tsks, shaking her head. "...I haven't changed in over 2 centuries. Why would I suddenly change now...?" Renn murmurs. "Uh, s-so, Ellysa, is it?" Minako regains her composure, clearing her throat. "You're an angel?" "Yes! I was a warrior first, one of the only women, and one of the youngest!" Ellysa boasts pridefully. "I fought my way through many a battle valiantly! If that one slimy bastard hadn't used a cheat of his, I'd have at least lived a few more months on Earth!" "And...you're trapped here? How'd you even get here from the Heavens?" Minako frowns. "I was sent down here for a girl as a guardian angel. Negloria. When I tried to make a gateway back to the Heavens, I found that it couldn't be opened. It's been 3 years now. I've kept sparring with Renn and others here daily to keep my strength up, so perhaps I can finally take on the fiend in this place's basement! I believe he's got something to do with this horrid curse..." 'Sounds important to note...' Minako thinks to herself while she listens. "My apologies, friends!" Abernathy's voice calls down from the stairs. He floats back down, but now he's back in his scarier dinosaur form again. "I have returned! Ah, I see you've met Ellysa and Renn now!" "What happened up there?" Minako asks the cordial ghost. "Ah, Negloria got upset about something. I went up there to comfort her. "And...you did that in this form?" Minako gives Abernathy a strange look. "I don't know why, but she seems to prefer this form to anything soft of cuddly, like the rabbit I was earlier..." Abernathy shrugs. "If you'd like, I can change again for you, though, my dear guests.

[Snarfulblast]

"Nahh dude I like the dino look it suits you." Lucas tells Abernathy. "Oh yeah totally forgot about the soup." Lucas walks over to the pot. "Bowl please." Fred hands him a bowl and spoon seemingly instantly cheered up someone came to get her food. Lucas dips the bowl into the pot and as he pulls it out the soup cools down to perfect eating temperature. But before Lucas can eat his soup Lilly jumps from his shoulder and grabs the bowl landing neatly and eating the soup quickly.

[ShadowVentus]

"Whatever form she prefers is fine by me." Makoto states, jabbing a thumb in Minako's general direction. He then turns back to face Ellysa, still acting as Renn's shield for the time being. "He? Just who exactly is down there? Also, it's been three years and you still have yet to take into consideration that Renn may not want to fight you? I'm not even sure how to react to that." He states bluntly, now awaiting an answer from the supposed angel.

[SephietheEvil]

"Oh, I see you've already taken the liberty of making yourselves food! That's good. Unfortunately all the food left here went and spoiled long, long ago..." Abernathy nods towards Lucas and Fred before he turns back to Makoto and Minako. "Absolutely sir! After all, the ladies need be shown respect, eh? Miss, would you prefer I be something else?"
"Oh, it's completely fine. Please, be what you feel like. Just...be wary of where your claws and teeth are. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt." Minako replies to the ghost.
"Of course! I hardly brawl at all anyway, my dear. I mean, unlike some other residents here..." Abernathy chuckles with a glance at Ellysa.
"Oi! You wanna go, dino?" Ellysa whips around to face Abernathy. "I bet you could turn into a huge fire-breathing dragon if you wanted, and you'd still fall to my mighty sword! I-" Ellysa is cut off after hearing what Makoto has to say to her.
"There's a monster down there...no one sane would venture down there by their own will." Renn murmurs, trembling a bit.
"Yes, the girl's right. The beast down there is possibly the least friendly thing in the whole place, including that ghoul Kuroneki. Actually, me and Renny here are pretty good friends, seeing as I saved her from that beast. Renny got thrown down there on accident by another resident here, and the monster was gonna eat her. I stormed down there as fast as I could. Almost lost my other arm in the process." Ellysa unbuckles some of the armor covering her right shoulder, showing off a line of stitches in her skin. "I know Renny doesn't like to fight, but I'm hopin' that one of these days, she'll be forced to fight back, and then she can get stronger too!"
"Does this monster down there have a name...?" Minako asks all of the ghosts in front of her.
"It's cliche, but most people call him "The Dark One", or, "The Living Black"." Amelia offers from where she lounges now, on the rail for the staircase.
"...His name is Yorugiro." Abernathy answers Minako's question more directly. "He's a fiendish beast with a horrid temper. Personally, me and Negloria think he's behind people disappearing in this mansion. I'd even be willing to believe that Ellysa might be right, and that he's behind our binding curse..."

[Ater FireSoul]

"very interesting..." Mumbles Ater outloud. His eyes glint, and a hint of a smile, seeing Ellysa's bare skin. "it seems we have an adventure at are hands then."

[TheGodofTacos]

Not hearing anything about the downstairs Joerose soon found stairs that went down "The root of the evil is getting stronger I must be close." Then he proceeds to go down the steps into the depths below.

[Snarfulblast]

"Woah now I did not sign up to investigate something that could rip me in half." Lucas says. "Also Lilly next time ask before you steal my food." He glares at the cat. "Yeah right if I asked I wouldn't get food." Lilly hisses back. "If you asked me you would have and besides everything is organic, Although I don't know what that has to do with you asking about food." Fred interjects.
