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

[SephietheEvil]

Yorugiro roars with all of his might at those attacking him, sending sharp growths of darkness formed from the walls around him to lash out at Ater and Joerose. Yorugiro pauses for a moment when Fred hugs him, and lets out another roar. However, this one carries hints of pain within it, and a small white glow comes from the middle of the red inside of him. He quickly shakes Fred off of himself and goes back to furiously attacking those nearest to him.
"FOR THE HEAVENS!" Ellysa lets out a battle cry before rushing down the rest of the stairs to join the fray.
"W-wait!" Minako cries, but Ellysa is already too far gone. The warrior angel strikes at the beast, only to have it pin her with one of it's huge clawed feet, and start aiming it's scorpion-like stinger for her.
Minako turns to Makoto again to hear his input. She blinks at him, and looks back at the battle. 'Leader? Since when?' Minako is a bit surprised in her own thoughts to be addressed as the leader, but there's no time for her to think too much on that. After analyzing the battle at hand, she starts reaching for something in a holster, carried by a white belt around her waist. "It looks as if we've got no choice. We have to call our spiritual partners here for help."
Abernathy scrapes himself back up from the floor again, brushing himself off. He looks back at the people on the stairs, only to notice something white standing behind Minako and Makoto. The small figure's lavender eyes glow a bit in the darkness of the basement, and her whole body is surrounded by a strange light aura. Abernathy looks around to see if anyone nearby notices the girl, but no one does. It seems that she's currently unable to be seen by anyone not from the mansion around...

"NO MORe FIGHTING!!! SUPER KNOCK OUT TRANQUIL CURSE! (before I continue, this curse is so powerful that if it doesn't instantly knock some one out cold it makes them act like Ghandi for an hour but at the cost of ALL of Fred's energy knocking her out as well.)" Fred's hands glow bright purple then she drops completely knocked out. And as she falls the others start to fall unless their powerful enough then they are no longer fighting just standing around. "Lilly go with Riley down stairs see whats happening. I have to go check on something." Lucas lets Lilly jump off his shoulder and then walks away looking for the way up stairs. "Well come on Riley let's go see if we can help." Lilly and Riley get to the top of the stairs when they hear Fred use her curse.

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater gets hit by one of Yorugiro's darkness from the walls, and picks himself back up. Ater starts making a Shield rune on the floor with some chalk he had in his pocket (medium size, holds 2 people, 25 seconds to make)

[TheGodofTacos]

Ignoring the pain that the beast attacking the ghost then sees Fred and her all mighty hex he runs toward Ater "Hope you have a plan because she is going to put us to sleep!"

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater finishes the rune, and a shimmering force field appears over Ater and Joerose, blocking any spells and normal hits.

[ShadowVentus]

"Right. On my mark. Three..two...one..huh?" As Makoto begins reaching for something he too has in a white holster, he pauses to see that Fred has cast some sort of incantation on Yurogiro. Not only did the beast seem to calm down, but he too, started to feel himself relaxing, his mind becoming more at ease. "What's..happening..? So...sleepy..." He managed to say before his eyelids grew too heavy and he collapsed right then and there, falling fast asleep at Minako's feet, now out cold.

[SephietheEvil]

From Fred's spell, Yorugiro calms down quite a bit, his roar dulling down into a low moan of what still sounded akin to that of pain. He doesn't fall asleep, but he loses his will to attack, loosening up his grip enough to allow Ellysa room to crawl out from under his claws. Then, she too grew helplessly drowsy, curling up with her sword, and falling asleep as well. The only ones left trying to fight off sleep are Minako and Abernathy.
"N...no....can't fall...asleep....not here...!" Minako fights against her own body's impulse to shut down for rest, fearing what could happen if she fell asleep in a place such as this. What if Yorugiro were to become enraged once more before they could wake up? Even just a few seconds too late could seal everyone's fate. Abernathy seemed to share the same opinion, but he was losing the battle for consciousness as well.
The one person, strangely enough, who seemed unaffected by the spell was Negloria. The white aura that had masked her presence behind Minako was gone now, as it appeared she used it to protect herself from Fred's incantation. Now visible, but also not, since no one else was fully awake, the small, eerie girl walks to Minako's side and takes her by the hand. Minako is also failing to keep herself awake, but the feeling of a cold hand in hers startles her a bit, giving her just a few seconds more of comprehensive consciousness. Helpless and 3/4 unconscious, Minako allows Negloria to lead her over Makoto's unconscious body lying on the stairs, and down to the floor of the basement, until they both stand right in front of Yorugiro.
As Minako sways from side to side, about to quit standing and just fall over onto the floor, Negloria gets behind her, and gives her a shove. Minako falls into the darkness of the monster, disappearing completely within it. Yorugiro stirs some with a small growl, but does nothing else. With a small, secretive, even sort of sly smile, Negloria turns around, and walks slowly back up the stairs out of the basement.
Upstairs, in a sickly, nauseating, metallic-scented room with the lights off, a lone girl stands with a large grin. She wears a dress shirt and a long skirt, and plays with the golden ribbon holding onto a forelock of her hair.
"So...Amelia was right. There are definitely visitors here once more..." The girl walks slowly over to a vanity in the room, stopping in front of the cracked mirror, and putting one of her hands on a particularly large knife sitting there, already coated with ancient dried blood from years past.
"Ah...how long has it been...since the last sacrifice?" She murmurs to herself, even humming a bit. "Too long, too long...but, will they be tadpoles or lambs? Tadpoles or lambs...I suppose we'll find out. I can't wait to be able to truly wear my robes for a purpose worthy of them...!"

[Ater FireSoul]

"AAAAA! what do we do Joerose? everyone's asleep!" Ater yells The forcefield shimmers when fred uses the sleep hex

[Snarfulblast]

Riley and Lilly from the top of the stairs watch as Nelgoria drags Minako towards Yurogiro. Riley gives Lilly a look that scares her. "Don't you dare do it." Lilly says to him. "I'm a ghost I can follow and not get hurt so bye." He runs up and as Minako is getting tossed into Yurogiro he jumps in after her. Lucas upon reaching the stairs sits down pulls out a recorder and presses the record button. "Day one, Lavenshade mansion, Case 24, Today I have entered Lavenshade Manor, I am not alone here besides my group there are a few others, a couple of school kids, a ghost of a priest and some evil looking dude who might be a ghost I will have to further investigate that. Also I have met a few of the mansion inhabitants. The ones I have met are, a shape shifting velociraptor, a talking cat, an angel and a daemon. I also presume that everyone else as met the monster in the basement." he presses the record button again stop the recording, he then presses play so he can make sure the audio was good. He stays at the foot of the stairs awhile so he can listen to th recording a couple of times.

[TheGodofTacos]

"Well we are still awake aren't we? So you rune work huh..." looking at all the sleepers and at the beast "Well its not righteous to strike when the best can't do anything, so it might be best to get out of here for now and come back later with more fire power to take the beast down. " deforming the two swords back into his own essence he took a look to all his surroundings seeing the ghost girl pushing the a live one into the beast "Well first off we can confront her." Pointing to Negloria. "Because that didn't seem normal."

[ShadowVentus]

Makoto forces himself awake just as Minako is being led into Yurogiro. "No..damn it!" He mutters as he groggily gets up and stumbles after her, also making his way inside the beast. Afterqards, he falls asleep once again.

[SephietheEvil]

In response to more people going in after Minako, Yorugiro does nothing but let out groans of possible misery and fatigue.
Inside of Yorugiro, Minako floats through the darkness, being pulled automatically to the center, where the red glow emanates from. As she gets closer, though, a white glow begins to shine from underneath the red, and eventually undermines it completely. The power of the heavenly white glow allows Minako to open her eyes and see what looks like a frail, glowing white figure, curled up with its knees hugged tightly to its chest. The darkness stops pulling Minako forward, but it does start nipping at her ankles, and winding around her body. She floats right in front of the figure, less than a foot away. Suddenly, the figure stirs a bit, and uncurls itself some. Minako can see two hazel-colored lights where eyes should be on the figure, and what looks like brown hair tied up in a bun. The mysterious entity reaches out a gloved white hand to Minako, which she takes in her own. Minako lets out a sudden gasp of pain, and outside, Yorugiro lets out a roar. Despite the pain, Minako finds herself trying to pull the glowing white girl out of the dark, noticing Riley and Makoto behind her finally. Though Riley is more or less unaffected, considering he's a ghost, Makoto is being bound in darkness the same way Minako is.
Stepping out of the dark room (and having put a bit of perfume on to mask the metallic, bloody scent from within), the girl in the dress shirt and long skirt takes a deep breath and grins. She looks over herself for a moment to make sure she looks like a human still, then straightens her sash and the ribbon in her forelock of hair before walking down the stairs to the main floor. She starts to here a bit of noise from downstairs, but not a whole lot. Her attention turns to Lucas.
"Why, hello there!" She gasps as if shocked to see a living person within the mansion. "A-are you alive? Oh, please tell me you are! I came to this mansion long ago...maybe a week or two, oh, I can't even remember...but, how long have you been here? Are there any others? Are-" She stops herself, and shakes her head. "My, my...goodness, I'm so very sorry! Even if I am a bit shaken, that's no reason to forget my manners! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Myriatte."
At the audible mention of the girl's name, it almost seems like the whole mansion gives a creaky moan of despair. Of course, it could also easily be blamed on wind from outside...

[Snarfulblast]

Lilly wanting to find Lucas has walked over to him and has decided to curl up at his feet when she hears this new voice and it's name, and what she guesses isn't just the wind, she stands up looking at the girl she hisses loud enough Lucas can't hear it but anything else could. "Yeah we are from outside, and yes we are alive." Lucas having noticed Lilly when she walked up to him before this girl appeared."Your name is nice not one I have heard, but nice." "Hey your not a guy." Riley purrs to the girl in white, as he is purring this he has found his way to Minako's shoulder so he isn't floating around, he wraps himself around her shoulders like a scarf. "Hey Minako you think this girl isn't evil, cause she doesn't give me that kind of vibe." he whispers to her.

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater starts making some more runes on the floor "here I'll make the shield stronger, It'll hold as long as I'm somewhat near it"

[ShadowVentus]

@SephietheEvil Waking up once again to the cold embrace of darkness, Makoto sees Minako interacting with extremely white figure, the only colors visible aside from the bright white a cool hazel and warm brown. He looked down to see that he was bound by the darkness in a similar fashion to Minako. Unsure of what would happen next, the boy decided to remain calm and await whatever horrific end may come from this figure he was slowly unwillingly moving towards.

[SephietheEvil]

Minako almost doesn't notice Riley wrapping himself around her shoulders until he speaks to her, as she's too distracted with the wave of pain pulsing through her body. She nods slowly at the cat's words. "No...she's not...I can...feel...it..." Minako rasps out, continuing to drag the glowing figure away from the gravitational pull towards Yorugiro's glowing red center. Through sheer willpower, Minako manages to walk all he way out of the monster again, standing about 1 foot from out on the outside while tendrils of darkness still grasp at her. The white figure, still swathed in black near the bottom of her lovely white gown, slowly lets go of Minako's hand, and falls to her knees outside of the monster, finally free. Yorugiro lets out a huge howl of pain, and his whole body ripples with the echo as Minako is sucked back into the dark of the beast. Both her and Makoto are sucked more forcefully into the glowing red center of the shadowy monster. The pain intensifies, and it appears that both people are gaining strange glowing symbols on different parts of their bodies, like a mystical tattoo of some sort. Minako's appears just below her neck, and glows a bright magenta color... Myriatte notices Lilly on the ground, hearing the hiss from the cat, though Lucas seems not to notice. Myriatte only gives the cat a quick glance, and says nothing aloud. 'So...the cat here is either anti-social...or it can already tell. Either way, is it of much importance? No...only if she gets in my way. I prefer human sacrifices, but I could extend my reach to animals as well, should it become necessary...' Myriatte thinks to herself before turning her attention fully onto Lucas's words. She keeps up her act with a modest girl's blush. "Oh, why, thank you. I also go by just Myria. It's whatever you prefer. It's good to hear that there are more living people here besides me now! Oh, but...where are they? Don't tell me they're stuck down there in the basement with Yorugiro...!" She fakes a gasp of horror, as well as a fearful, concerned look. Her true thoughts, however, speak to her in her mind, 'Hmm, if they are down there with Yorugiro, then I hope at least some of them survive. This boy here in front of me...he might make a good sacrifice, true. Not sure if he has what it takes to be a tadpole. I want to see my other options first before I make any such move...'

[Snarfulblast]

Lilly continues to hiss but this time louder, loud enough for Lucas to hear and when he does he looks at Lilly knowing her tell tale sign for bad vibes he makes a mental note to watch himself around this girl. "Yeah they're down there but I wouldn't worry they seem to know how to handle themselves especially if my friend Fred is down there. She might be crazy but she definitely knows how to fight and she'll protect her friends no matter what." He picks up Lilly, puts her on his shoulder, stands up and walks away as quickly as possibly from this rather creepy girl. "Fred please if you can hear me help me out I've got a bad vibe about this new girl." Lilly stops hissing to send a message to Fred via spiritual contact. Fred twitches, jumps up and runs up the stairs reaching Lucas and Lilly faster than anyone thought possible. She transforms into a Dire Wolf as tall as Lucas.

[Ater FireSoul]

Ater looks down to find his necklace has a crack in it. "oh crap!" Ater says terrified. Ater fixes it with his aura. Joerose senses something unplesent about the necklace.

[ShadowVentus]

@SephietheEvil Makoto holds in a cry of pain as the darkness' hold on him intensifies, pulling him and Minako closer to the glowing red core. The next thing he knew, he felt something similar to a burning sensation on his right hand, a mystical tattoo of his own being etched into his skin, giving off a dark blue glow. The next thing he knew, he began feeling some sort of intense sensation..something akin to hunger. Before he can fully figure it out, however, he blacks out again, the pain finally taking its toll on him as his adrenaline begins wearing down.

[Snarfulblast]

Riley still on Minako's shoulders notices the tattoos forming on both the girl and the boy next to him. "The hell?".
