[2009-11-28 19:20:12] <Narrator> 12 Another morning begins, the second day with their newly built shrine which promised spirit free days within the mansion. So far it had done it's job...things were looking uop for the maids. However, the sudden appearance of Isabella Leblanc threw a whole new set of questions towards the maids...was she really Vincent's daughter? She seemed to be able to manipulate the mist, how?

[2009-11-28 19:22:14] <Narrator> 12 And what could she have meant by 'Kill my father' when she answered Marie's question...and what exactly was wrong with Vincent? All of a sudden his health seemed to have deteriorated rapidly? Well, all in all perhaps they should be spending more time wondering how they would leave this place...

[2009-11-28 19:25:46] <Vincent> 12 The bell chimes to signal a new day, looks like it had stopped randomly chimming sometime after they got back last night.

[2009-11-28 19:30:00] * Miranda wakes up, rubbing her eyes and getting changed before heading ot the kitchen, looks like cooking has become her chore.
[2009-11-28 19:30:57] * Becky rolls over in bed, grabbing Vincent's shoulder gently , "The bell's chimed..." she tried to peer under the brim of his hat at his eyes, "Your skin is a little clammy...Are you alright?"
[2009-11-28 19:31:59] * Marie yawns and rolls out of bed, scratching her head.  She floats aimlessly for a bit, then gets changed and such things, heading out to the 7shrine.
[2009-11-28 19:33:09] * Canis groaned, growled, and dragged herself out of bed. Her wrist was feeling a bit better, and she mussed her hair sleepily and headed out her door.
[2009-11-28 19:34:35] * Meredith sat up in bed and slowly scooched off... For a moment, her eyes passed over the window. Yup, still misty out. The next, she changed out of her pajamas and into a proper uniform. She was gonna do her best today! Opening the window in her room, she shouted into the emptiness surrounding them. Then, shutting her window, she left to the rest of the mansion to find a task.

[2009-11-28 19:36:52] <Vincent> "...ngh..." Vincent awoke somewhat, he still looked terribly pale. "I've felt better..."
[2009-11-28 19:37:30] <Narrator> 4 The shrine looked fine, it had been untouched during the night amazingly enough.
[2009-11-28 19:38:12] * Canis 7stalked downstairs, wondering about only a couple things, mildly glancing towards anyone she passed.

[2009-11-28 19:38:17] * Len rolls out of bed feeling refreshed, she yawns and thinks of the crazy events that happened yesterday, she shakes her head, gets changed and heads out to do some 7 laundry
[2009-11-28 19:38:20] * Becky sighed, "Do rest today master, I will attend to you personally." she nodded, she had a bad dream about Vincent dying...Well her too but... "Master...Do you know what would happen if you were to die? Has it happened before?"
[2009-11-28 19:38:26] * Miranda fails horribly and burns the toast, spills milk, and poorly mixes the pancake batter. "O-Oh dear..." she inches her way out of the kitchen.
[2009-11-28 19:38:46] * Meredith picked up a broom, and noted how close she was to the 7basement. With a shrug, she decided to sweep up there. Why not? Maids had to do that too, certainly.
[2009-11-28 19:39:01] <Vincent> "Hmm? What's this Rebecca? What a strange question...how would I know if I've ever died before?" he laughed slightly.
[2009-11-28 19:39:03] * Marie decides it looks a little dusty, and goes to get a broom, then returns to the shrine and starts sweeping lazily.
[2009-11-28 19:39:57] <Becky> "And you wouldn't remember the first time you came to the mansion would you?" Becky expected yet another vague answer as she stood out of bed and slipped on her clothes
[2009-11-28 19:40:00] <Narrator> 4 If Marie looked out by one of the opening's serving as windows for the shrine...she could see a strange red glowing light somewhere in the forest.
[2009-11-28 19:41:18] * Len makes it to the laundry room and starts sorting the lights from the darks, as she yawns. Seems like a boring day~
[2009-11-28 19:41:18] * Marie glances out the window...  And is suddenly overcome by a strange sense of dread...  She stands stock still, not sure what to do...
[2009-11-28 19:41:22] * Becky put on her head dress after touching up her makeup, "Maybe your daughter will have something to tell me."
[2009-11-28 19:41:52] <Narrator> 12 The basement was calm today. Well, if there was anywhere that didn't seem to need that shrine it was down here, only Canis ever reported seeing anything here...
[2009-11-28 19:42:23] * Canis kicked around and saw someone near the steps of the basement...well that's an idea. She approached Meredith, greeting her with "Oh, it's Violet, morning." She nonchalantly grabbed a lantern off the wall and a broom in her other hand. "May as well not go alone..."
[2009-11-28 19:42:56] <Vincent> "My daughter...?" Vincent questionned slowly, as if he had no idea what Becky was talking about.
[2009-11-28 19:43:02] * Marie cautiously steps out of the door of the shrine towards the forest...
[2009-11-28 19:43:10] * Meredith turned about and noticed Canis. "Oh, Canis! This is a good morning after all."
[2009-11-28 19:43:26] * Becky turned, straightening her apron, "Yes, little Isabella. Perhaps you forgot is all."
[2009-11-28 19:45:09] <Narrator> 4 The glowing red light seemed to be walking away from Marie slowly...
[2009-11-28 19:45:22] * Canis looked over Meredith as she followed her downstairs. "Oi. Here, hold this," she said, offering Meredith the lantern. "I'll do it, you look like hell."
[2009-11-28 19:45:32] <Vincent> 12 "Isabella? The name does sound familiar..." Vincent muttered and sat up.
[2009-11-28 19:46:15] * Len finishes up the laundry and looks around. Nothing weird yet..happily she heads down to the 7 dining room to see if breakfast is ready
[2009-11-28 19:46:35] * Meredith gave a placated smile as she grabbed onto the lantern. "Thank you. But I can sweep, at least."
[2009-11-28 19:47:06] * Becky sat down momentarily, straightening out the covers of the bed a bit, "That's a start. I wouldn't expect you to tell me anything...But I'd appreciate it."
[2009-11-28 19:47:54] * Marie shuddered a bit in place as she watched the light move away...
[2009-11-28 19:48:28] * Canis silently nudged Meredith to one side, then began to sweep from the middle of the basement herself, trying to leave less for Meredith to do. "Tche, fine."
[2009-11-28 19:48:30] * Miranda wanders around the main hall where she first met the wolf. "Hellooo? Mr. Wolf? M-Might I talk to y-you for a bit...if you don't mind, I mean."
[2009-11-28 19:49:29] <Vincent> "I'm afraid it's rather vague, I do seem to recall an Isabella but...a daughter?" Vincent wondered about that, he then grinned. "That sounds like a rather tall tale, what makes you so sure either of us are telling you anything truthful?"
[2009-11-28 19:50:11] * Meredith made a bit of a noise of protest as Canis shoved her aside, but that was all she did on that subject as she held the lantern aloft and carefully wheeled around. Sweeping with one arm was a bit difficult, but not a huge obstacle to her!
[2009-11-28 19:50:25] <Meredith> nudged*
[2009-11-28 19:50:36] <Miranda> "...that's OK, you're probably busy." she sighs and returns to the 7 dining room table.
[2009-11-28 19:51:28] * Marie grabs a few rocks from the ground outside the shrine with a curious look, then returned to the 7shrine.
[2009-11-28 19:51:30] <Narrator> 3 The wolf does not reply to her calls...why exactly was she trying to call it again?
[2009-11-28 19:51:44] <Becky> "I don't imagine either of you are really..." Becky smiled softly, stroking Vincent's arm, "But when so few leads come my way I feel it important to follow each one. Maybe I'll find out soon whether or not you come back to life when you die..." Becky giggled before standing back up.
[2009-11-28 19:51:56] <Meredith> "Keeping safe lately, Canis?"
[2009-11-28 19:52:30] * Len enters the dining room and waves at Miranda, unusually cheerful. "Say, is breakfast done?"
[2009-11-28 19:53:02] <Miranda> "N-No, I seem to have made a small mistake in preparing it..."
[2009-11-28 19:54:02] * Marie floats over to a table and picks something up, turning it over in her hand and studying it.
[2009-11-28 19:54:32] <Len> "Well, I guess I can take a shot at making it." Len heads to 7 the kitchen to get to work~
[2009-11-28 19:55:25] -->| Dirk (DirkOfPerk@sux-BC627D71.tukw.qwest.net) has joined #MAIDRP
[2009-11-28 19:55:42] * Canis looked around a little. "Haven't noticed anything, at least. You look like you haven't been. Need help?" Canis walked over closer to Meredith, but didn't particularly seem to react otherwise.
[2009-11-28 19:56:19] <Vincent> "R-right, wouldn't that be amusing." Vincent chuckled and coughed, "If you don't mind Rebecca, could you ask one of the maids to bring me my breakfast a bit later?"
[2009-11-28 19:57:25] <Becky> "I was just going now, master." Becky curtsied and left the room, heading downstairs to the 7kitchen "The master is expecting breakfast in bed today. A touch under the weather it seems..."
[2009-11-28 19:57:28] * Len attempts her hand at pancakes but messed up flipping every single one of them.
[2009-11-28 19:57:53] * Marie heads back outside, and tosses her assortment of minerals out into the forest.
[2009-11-28 19:58:22] <Meredith> "Hee, trouble comes with the mansion I think. Sometimes it's... like... I'd done this countless times!" She points to her bandaged chest. "Oh, sorry! Yes, I need help." Smiling, she turned aside for Canis to move in.
[2009-11-28 19:59:05] <Becky> "Ahem." Becky taps her heel on the 7kitchen floor
[2009-11-28 20:01:02] * Marie heads back inside and sprawls on a couch in the 7living room.
[2009-11-28 20:02:00] <Len> "There seems to be a delay in making breakfast.." Len says as she botches the next batch of pancake mix
[2009-11-28 20:03:37] * Becky sighs, stepping in, "Useless..."
[2009-11-28 20:05:01] <Miranda> "Hmph, what do you plan to do? Threaten breakfast until it cooks itself?" she walks out and starts to set the table.
[2009-11-28 20:05:19] * Len snickers at Miranda
[2009-11-28 20:05:30] <Len> 's comment and follows her*
[2009-11-28 20:05:30] * Marie hmms thoughtfully and heads down to the 7basement...  Nice and dark down there...
[2009-11-28 20:05:47] * Canis paused for a moment, then walked past Meredith a little, offering her arm out sideways. "Need help up the stairs?"
[2009-11-28 20:05:53] * Becky fixes up what's left of the pancakes and makes a few sausage, eggs, and hashbrowns to accompany it. "I intended to slice it open and sear it on a hot pan."
[2009-11-28 20:06:17] <Becky> "Don't ask what I'll do to you the next time you screw up."
[2009-11-28 20:06:30] * Becky sets aside a plate of breakfast for Vincent
[2009-11-28 20:07:09] <Meredith> "No, I can handle myself at least. Don't... think I can't." As if to prove the point, Meredith began to walk back upstairs.
[2009-11-28 20:07:34] <Len> "Geez, Becky. Take a midol." Len shrugs and sits down at the table
[2009-11-28 20:08:00] * Marie looks at Meredith.  "Oh...  Hey Meredith...  Feeling alright now?"
[2009-11-28 20:09:51] <Meredith> "Marie! No, I'm okay now. Thanks~" Meredith gave a bit of a smile.
[2009-11-28 20:10:03] * Becky glares at Len as she crosses for the stairs, "Spare the rod, spoil the maid it seems. You're lucky I'm busy."

[2009-11-28 20:10:33] <Canis> "..." Canis glanced over, the sweeping was just about done by this point, and she half-heartedly pushed her broom at the last touch of dirt. "--Marie," Canis noted flatly, either a question or a statement. "Mornin'. You hurt, too?"
[2009-11-28 20:12:45] * Becky entered Vincent's room, setting aside the tray, "The maids were doing so poorly at preparing breakfast I could expect them to bring it up to you either. Please enjoy master."
[2009-11-28 20:13:02] <Becky> couldn't*
[2009-11-28 20:13:06] <Narrator> 12 At the dining room, everything was pretty peaceful, almost normal if it weren't for Becky's usually poor mood...however, anyone could tell things were not normal by looking outside at the mist...spirits roamed outside still, they were confined inside if they wanted to be safe...those in the dining room might want to think of a plan...

[2009-11-28 20:13:58] <Vincent> "Ah, thank you Rebecca." Vincent accepted his meal gratefully. "A shame, Miranda's meals are truly the best I've ever had."
[2009-11-28 20:14:30] * Marie gave Meredith a fanged smile and a nod.  "That's good to hear."  She then looked at Canis...  "Oh yes, I'm so hurt...  You don't sound at /all/ glad to see me...!"  She gives an overly dramatic sigh and puts a hand to her forehead.
[2009-11-28 20:14:35] <Miranda> "Th-Thank you master..." she smiles and starts to eat.
[2009-11-28 20:14:39] * Becky turns swiftly, "I hope mine will do." closing the door loudly behind her as she headed downstairs again
[2009-11-28 20:15:36] * Meredith smiled as she waved her lantern over Marie, as if to put her on the spotlight.
[2009-11-28 20:15:41] * Len watches the spirits roam around outside. "I wonder if it's because of the shrine"
[2009-11-28 20:16:10] <Miranda> "We kicked them out of their home...They must be angry."
[2009-11-28 20:17:22] <Narrator> 4 Outside Len spots one of the children staring at the shrine.
[2009-11-28 20:18:17] <Vincent> "Hmm? Oh right, that was insensitive of me..." Vincent muttered lightly while eating, Becky's food was pretty good too.
[2009-11-28 20:18:35] * Canis blinked at Marie. "I just wondered. You seem fine enough. Has it been a whole day?"
[2009-11-28 20:19:03] * Len blinks and looks away from the window. "Hmph, glad I didn't go out today."
[2009-11-28 20:19:37] * Becky took a seat with a dour expression in the 7living room
[2009-11-28 20:20:51] <Narrator> 12 Outside one of the windows, Becky can see the red light moving amongst the trees, but it was none of her concern.
[2009-11-28 20:20:53] * Marie cuts the pose and tone and responds rather normally.  "Yes, I'm fine...  Only poor Meredith and Len got hurt...  A day...?  Why, I suppose it has...  You might... Have some catching up to do."
[2009-11-28 20:22:08] * Becky indeed put no concern to it, best boss around the maids some...
[2009-11-28 20:22:32] * Becky headed to the 7dining room to eat some of the breakfast she prepared
[2009-11-28 20:23:14] <Meredith> "I did tell her I was alright. Oh!" Meredith looked down as her stomach growled. "Sorry! I'm too hungry, so I think I'll go eat breakfast! I can smell it already~" Meredith, with a sudden burst of energy, headed up to the 7dining room to eat. She smiled a bit at Becky as she placed down the still lit lantern and propped the broom against the table.
[2009-11-28 20:24:39] <Canis> "...Tche," she muttered. Maybe if she'd been there, she... "Hey, Marie, you rember down here at all?"
[2009-11-28 20:25:08] * Len points to the window with her fork. "You know, there's a ton of spirits wandering around out there. Should we do something?"
[2009-11-28 20:25:28] <Becky> "It feels like we're living in one of those castles at the bottom of a fish tank...I don't know what we should do. The shrine will keep them out for now."
[2009-11-28 20:25:58] <Meredith> "Spirits? Like... guests?"
[2009-11-28 20:26:04] <Becky> "I think we should try to get in contact with Isabella again."
[2009-11-28 20:26:25] <Meredith> "U-umm, we could hold on seeing Isabella. Right?"
[2009-11-28 20:26:36] <Len> "And what? Fill up that thing with blood again?"
[2009-11-28 20:26:55] <Becky> "I see plenty of donors who could stand to shut up."
[2009-11-28 20:27:01] <Miranda> "All she did was waste time, we didn't even find anything useful out..."
[2009-11-28 20:27:14] <Becky> "We saw her and then the spirits became more apparent."
[2009-11-28 20:27:18] <Len> "Are you one of those donors?"
[2009-11-28 20:27:20] <Becky> "Vincent's fallen ill."
[2009-11-28 20:27:33] <Marie> "Mmmm...  Can't say I do, Canis."  She sighs a bit and floats over a lot closer to her, and smirks a bit.  "Did we do something 'special' here before my most recent arrival at this mansion?~"
[2009-11-28 20:27:44] * Becky tightened her fist, "I would bleed each of you dry before letting Vincent die."
[2009-11-28 20:27:48] * Meredith sighed as she dug into her breakfast. Becky seemed to change so much on her.
[2009-11-28 20:28:00] <Miranda> "Th-Then fix him!"
[2009-11-28 20:28:00] <Becky> "I think Isabella has answers that we need."
[2009-11-28 20:28:15] <Becky> "I'm trying!"
[2009-11-28 20:28:18] <Len> "Huh? But what about yourself? That's pretty selfish." Len shrugs
[2009-11-28 20:28:32] <Becky> "I was here first..." Becky glowered
[2009-11-28 20:28:56] <Miranda> "Th-Then you should be first to volunteer!"
[2009-11-28 20:29:27] <Meredith> "I'm feeling healthy... I can fill another few... Umm. Drips."
[2009-11-28 20:29:31] <Len> "Doesn't love trancend all or something? Then you can do something."
[2009-11-28 20:29:55] * Meredith really, Meredith just dreaded the idea of seeing Isabelle again.
[2009-11-28 20:30:41] <Becky> "Miranda and I will try to find a way to get in contact with Isabella. The others will investigate the shrine again."
[2009-11-28 20:30:51] <Miranda> "E-Excuse me?!"
[2009-11-28 20:31:14] <Becky> "I'll take someone else. Any volunteers?"
[2009-11-28 20:31:20] <Becky> "Otherwise you'll do."
[2009-11-28 20:31:35] <Meredith> "The spirits... Doesn't it look like they're ready to pounce us if we left?"
[2009-11-28 20:31:51] <Becky> "Yes. Do be careful."
[2009-11-28 20:32:16] <Becky> "If the shrine grants protection to the house, inside the shrine should hold some protection as well."
[2009-11-28 20:32:21] <Meredith> "Mmh... Thanks Becky."
[2009-11-28 20:32:43] * Len looks out of the window. "One of those kids were staring at the shrine...I don't like it"
[2009-11-28 20:32:49] <Becky> "We can't stand to sit here with the mist getting deeper by the hour."
[2009-11-28 20:33:10] * Becky stands, preparing her whip
[2009-11-28 20:33:35] * Meredith picks up her lantern and broom again. "Good luck!"
[2009-11-28 20:34:29] <Len> "Don't end up sacrificing Miranda"
[2009-11-28 20:34:29] * Canis crossed her arms a bit more at the approach, but otherwise didn't give ground... "Nothing...much. Just cleaned a little." Canis firmed her mouth a little, then continued, "Breakfast made yet? I'll be up for it soon."
[2009-11-28 20:34:52] <Miranda> "H-Hmph, I'm not doing her any favors in there."
[2009-11-28 20:35:41] <Becky> "I'll hold off from slicing you up. I won't even bring a knife."
[2009-11-28 20:35:50] <Becky> "That better?"
[2009-11-28 20:36:03] * Miranda ignores her and heads to the shrine.
[2009-11-28 20:36:04] * Becky started to walk toward the main hall
[2009-11-28 20:36:20] * Becky grabs Miranda's shoulder
[2009-11-28 20:36:23] * Meredith left her food at the table as she stepped away from the chair. "Len..." She smiled at the other maid.
[2009-11-28 20:36:24] <Becky> "Hold it."
[2009-11-28 20:36:29] <Miranda> "Whaaaaaat..."
[2009-11-28 20:36:30] <Becky> "I told you, you're coming with me."
[2009-11-28 20:36:41] * Miranda sighs. "Fine..."
[2009-11-28 20:36:51] * Marie sighs.  "Geez Canis, you're a regular stiff...  As for breakfast, I don't really know."
[2009-11-28 20:36:54] * Becky turns Miranda around and heads back into the mansion
[2009-11-28 20:36:54] <Len> "Yeah?" Len looks at Meredith
[2009-11-28 20:37:14] <Becky> "Now...How did we meet Isabella the first time? Let's try to...Recreate the scene."
[2009-11-28 20:37:31] <Meredith> "I don't know."
[2009-11-28 20:38:18] * Meredith placed the broom over her shoulder. "Should we wait for the others?"

[2009-11-28 20:39:28] <Miranda> "We sat down at the table..."
[2009-11-28 20:39:39] * Miranda sits down at the table.
[2009-11-28 20:39:39] * Becky wanders back into the 7dining room, taking a seat, "Right...And then..."
[2009-11-28 20:39:55] <Miranda> "Ate? We already did this not even 10 minutes ago..."
[2009-11-28 20:40:05] <Meredith> "Nope!" Though she left for the back door regardless.
[2009-11-28 20:40:29] <Narrator> 12 Nothing happens...was there really enough to go on in the first place?
[2009-11-28 20:40:29] * Becky sighed, "Well, what happened earlier that day? She didn't really just come to us on a whim did she?"
[2009-11-28 20:40:56] * Len follows Meredith out the back door sighing. "Should we have a backup plan?"
[2009-11-28 20:40:58] <Becky> "Vincent said he recognizes her name but that's all I got out of him..."
[2009-11-28 20:41:14] * Becky thinks to herself for a moment
[2009-11-28 20:41:24] * Canis rolled thoughts around her head. People were difficult to please. "I survive that way, I guess." She winced at her own comment, then trying to head it off. "Well, you helped, anyway. So you seem fine."
[2009-11-28 20:41:40] <Miranda> "We did get those abilities..."
[2009-11-28 20:41:46] <Meredith> "Hope we come back with at least a memory?"
[2009-11-28 20:42:05] * Meredith stepped onto the ground outside and looked around...
[2009-11-28 20:42:47] <Becky> "Oh right...Hmm, maybe I should check back there sometime did get one..."
[2009-11-28 20:43:04] * Becky stood from the dining table, "It's a long shot but let's...Look through the guestbook."
[2009-11-28 20:43:05] * Len chuckles a bit. "We should make a run for the shrine. It's short way."
[2009-11-28 20:43:29] <Narrator> 4 It didn't look all that strange outside...although, the child who was looking at the shrine was noticeably absent now.
[2009-11-28 20:44:21] * Meredith trembled a little. "Okay... Let's sprint."
[2009-11-28 20:45:20] * Meredith as soon as she said this, she charged toward the shrine as fast as she possibly could!
[2009-11-28 20:45:23] <Miranda> "The guestbook?"
[2009-11-28 20:46:11] * Marie pats Canis on the back.  "Well...  Hope you get out of here soon so you can lighten up.  Let's go see if breakfast is done, ay?"
[2009-11-28 20:46:37] <Becky> "A large house that has guests...Should have such a thing. Though I have never seen it..."
[2009-11-28 20:47:03] <Becky> "Let's check the library and hope we find that or something interesting at the least."
[2009-11-28 20:47:16] * Len stretches a bit and sprints towards the Shrine past Meredith, maybe she went to fast..
[2009-11-28 20:47:51] <Miranda> "...Alright?" she gets up and heads to the 7lbirary 1 though she wasn't sure what good this would do.
[2009-11-28 20:48:44] * Meredith tripped up as soon as she got further than a few feet! Panicked, she scrambled to stand back up and dug against the ground until she finally was able to move forward again. The last stretch felt as if something chased her... but she seemed to have made it all the same.
[2009-11-28 20:49:53] * Becky starts to pick through the desks and micellaneous books of the library, hoping to find something helpful
[2009-11-28 20:50:19] <Narrator> 12 Becky finds [Leblanc Mansion Guestbook]
[2009-11-28 20:50:28] * Len already arrived at the shrine ahead of Meredith, panting a bit. "Are you ok? I gave you a headstart you know."

[2009-11-28 20:51:01] <Meredith> "I tripped... But I'm fine! I'm fine."
[2009-11-28 20:51:06] <Miranda> "And we're hoping this book contains some...spell to get us to Isabella?"
[2009-11-28 20:51:19] * Meredith looked around the shrine warily. "Do you see anything weird here?"
[2009-11-28 20:51:46] <Narrator> 4 There seems to be a shadow in the corner of the shrine...one of the lights had been knocked down nearby it.
[2009-11-28 20:51:48] <Becky> "Here it is..." Becky seemed surprised, flipping through to the oldest pages and scanning over the names
[2009-11-28 20:52:33] |<-- Marie has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Ping timeout)
[2009-11-28 20:52:36] <Becky> "Help me look!"
[2009-11-28 20:52:37] * Len looks at Meredith. "Should we...go over there?" she points at the shadow
[2009-11-28 20:52:43] =-= Erinys is now known as Marie
[2009-11-28 20:52:43] <Becky> "There's so many names..."
[2009-11-28 20:53:26] <Miranda> "First tell me what I'm looking for!"
[2009-11-28 20:53:39] * Meredith gulped as she looked at the shadow. "Yes. We may have to..." Slowly approaching the corner, Meredith held her lantern ahead of her.
[2009-11-28 20:54:02] <Narrator> 12 Indeed there were several hundred pages of names...all of different people of different ages and origins. Though at most there was simply a name, an age and a 'HEALED' or 'PUNISHED' sign written beneath their names. All of which had the same exact handwritting.
[2009-11-28 20:54:40] <Becky> "Who even wrote all this..."
[2009-11-28 20:54:57] * Becky wondered if she'd see Isabella's name...Or her own.
[2009-11-28 20:55:03] * Len follows Meredith close behind her.
[2009-11-28 20:55:19] <Becky> "Isabella's name? We still don't know her identity. She could have been a guest."
[2009-11-28 20:56:04] <Canis> "Right, I...want to escape. I'll come up, I'll get something first. ...Save me some food?"
[2009-11-28 20:56:09] <Narrator> 12 Becky's name, nor Isabella's appeared in the guestbook, nor did any of the other maid's names...she spotted Goldman, Mint, Daichi and Sam's names among the people listed.
[2009-11-28 20:56:10] * Miranda sighs and flips through some pages. "I still don't see how that /means/ anything."
[2009-11-28 20:57:14] <Narrator> 12 Miranda noticed there a very disturbing pattern...there were way more 'PUNISHED' markings than there were 'HEALED'....
[2009-11-28 20:57:37] * Becky frowned, "I'm /trying/, ok?"
[2009-11-28 20:57:38] <Marie> "Oh?  What's down here that you might need...?"  She pauses and tilts her head at Canis.
[2009-11-28 20:57:49] <Narrator> 4 In the shadow the girl's saw...one of the white maidens...
[2009-11-28 20:57:49] <Miranda> "Oh my...It seems lots of guests have been very bad."
[2009-11-28 20:58:51] <Becky> "Bad or not they could have been healed..." Becky sighed and closed the book, "But you're right, while interesting I don't know what conclusions to draw from this. What other points of interest in the house could we search?"
[2009-11-28 20:58:55] * Len tilts her head, well she might not be dangerous in here right? She goes over to the white maiden and puts her hand on the maiden's shoulder. "...You ok?"
[2009-11-28 20:59:38] <Meredith> "Len..."
[2009-11-28 21:00:14] * Meredith carefully readied the broom incase she would need to use it.
[2009-11-28 21:00:34] * Canis looks around. "Time."
[2009-11-28 21:00:49] <Narrator> 4 The white maiden turned around lightly as Len's touch and slumped to the ground. It wasn't reacting at the very least.
[2009-11-28 21:01:42] * Meredith slightly relaxed, she instead set down the lantern on the floor as she gripped the broom in both hands now. "How weird..."
[2009-11-28 21:01:50] <Marie> "Time...?"  She frowns a little, more sadly than angry.  "Is that your way of telling me to piss off?"
[2009-11-28 21:01:56] <Miranda> "I'm not sure, nothing really stands out other than the ghosts outside..."
[2009-11-28 21:01:58] * Len frowns and picks the maiden up, she turns the body to face her. "She might be dead.."
[2009-11-28 21:02:25] * Becky places the book aside, "Go...Help the others then."
[2009-11-28 21:05:19] <Miranda> "OK~" she answers cheerfully and begins to head out to the shrine.
[2009-11-28 21:05:38] <Narrator> 4 It was apparent from the way the head bobbed that the white maiden had somehow died, upon closer inspection it's pale smooth legs were broken and hanging at a slightly akward angle. Perhaps it had crawled here before dying once again?
[2009-11-28 21:06:36] * Canis growled lightly, "You'd rather I say it straight out?"
[2009-11-28 21:06:47] * Becky headed to the dining room a little miffed and sat down again, "I really /don't/ want to believe you are his daughter..."
[2009-11-28 21:07:01] <Becky> "Unless you meant daughter in another way perhaps.."
[2009-11-28 21:07:12] * Becky leaned over onto the table, thinking aloud
[2009-11-28 21:07:28] <Becky> "He doesn't even remember you anyway."
[2009-11-28 21:07:41] * Marie just turns and leaves, heading for the 7dining room.
[2009-11-28 21:07:42] * Len relaxes more and sighs. "Yep, she's dead." she looks at Meredith as she picks up the body further. "Should we take it out of the shrine?"
[2009-11-28 21:07:45] <Narrator> 3 No one answered Becky's complaints.
[2009-11-28 21:07:51] <Meredith> "Do you see any clues, Len?" She bit her thumb, looking at the white maiden.
[2009-11-28 21:07:56] * Miranda leaves through the back door as usual and heads to the 7shrine.
[2009-11-28 21:08:30] <Becky> "
[2009-11-28 21:08:37] <Meredith> "How weird... I wonder, did it try to get in and it got killed by the shrine's power?"
[2009-11-28 21:08:50] <Becky> "Maybe I should make like Goldman and just kill Vincent to heal him!" she challenged to no one
[2009-11-28 21:09:55] <Narrator> 3 Still no answer.
[2009-11-28 21:10:07] * Marie smirks and sits across from Becky, getting some breakfast for herself and setting some out for Canis too.
[2009-11-28 21:10:16] * Canis watched Marie for a bit, perhaps unsettled, but bristling a little. She then stared at the furnace for a while before cautiously approaching it. She crouched down a little and stared in. She glanced over to the side, too, where she'd left the uniform...
[2009-11-28 21:10:26] * Len shrugs and looks at the maiden. "Probably. We should take it out of the shrine." she starts towards the Shrine's exit to dispose of the body
[2009-11-28 21:10:44] <Becky> "Yep, I'll do just that!" Becky laughed, heading for the 7kitchen to grab a carving knife.
[2009-11-28 21:10:49] <Meredith> "Yeah..."
[2009-11-28 21:11:05] <Marie> "I wonder if an order from the head maid supercedes the master's welfare?"
[2009-11-28 21:11:24] * Meredith followed behind Len, looking around warily.
[2009-11-28 21:11:26] * Miranda catches up to Len and Meredith. "H-Hey! Have you found anything interesting?"
[2009-11-28 21:11:32] <Becky> "He's not your dad, why should you care?" Becky rode the momentum from the last crazy stunt she pulled to heal Mint.
[2009-11-28 21:11:51] * Becky started heading upstairs, tucking the knife away
[2009-11-28 21:12:15] <Meredith> "We found a corpse!"
[2009-11-28 21:12:19] * Len holds out the dead maiden to Miranda. "That's all we found. She was dead when we got here."
[2009-11-28 21:12:24] * Marie noms on her meal with a curious smile.
[2009-11-28 21:12:27] <Miranda> "O-Oh my! Not another guest, I ho-OH!"
[2009-11-28 21:12:48] <Narrator> 12 The uniform seemed to be gone, no doubt taken away by a maid before hand as they cleaned...or perhaps she had taken it after all? She was all alone in the basement now...was this wise?
[2009-11-28 21:13:25] <Miranda> "H-Her legs are hurt...what do you supposed happened?"
[2009-11-28 21:13:29] * Becky gave one last look around before arriving at Vincent's door.
[2009-11-28 21:13:41] <Narrator> 3 No response at all...
[2009-11-28 21:14:06] <Len> "The shrine probably did it. Say, whatever happened to trying to find Isabella?"
[2009-11-28 21:14:09] * Becky stepped inside Vincent's door, not saying a word, just slipping inside as quietly as possible and looking to Vincent's bed

[2009-11-28 21:14:39] <Miranda> "Hmph, all she had me do was look through a book, nothing happened so she let me come here."
[2009-11-28 21:14:45] * Becky closed the door behind her, lest a maid interrupt
[2009-11-28 21:15:05] * Vincent was sleeping once again, most likely saving his strenght for now.
[2009-11-28 21:15:25] * Becky circled around Vincent's bed with a serene smile, "Master..."
[2009-11-28 21:15:55] * Becky kneeled next to Vincent's bed, drawing the blade away from his view
[2009-11-28 21:16:18] * Marie sighs and taps her fork...  "It seems like nobody here really wants to be friends with me..."
[2009-11-28 21:16:43] * Len shrugs. "Well, that was a bust, so was this." she sighs as she tosses the body out of the shrine.
[2009-11-28 21:17:15] * Miranda notices the trail of grass. "M-Maybe it came from there?" she points.
[2009-11-28 21:19:05] * Meredith stares at the trail. "Well, what lead do we have?"
[2009-11-28 21:19:19] * Meredith followed it down to wherever it lead...
[2009-11-28 21:19:22] * Len dusts her self off. "Well, I don't really care where it came from. It's dead."
[2009-11-28 21:19:39] * Becky leans in closer, whispering into his ear, "I've got something to ask."
[2009-11-28 21:19:41] * Miranda follows Meredith. "P-Please come with us, Ms. Len. Maybe we'll find something interesting!"
[2009-11-28 21:20:09] * Vincent mumbles, he sits back up. "Yes Rebecca?"
[2009-11-28 21:20:25] <Len> "A-Ah Don--shit!" Len heaves out a heavy sigh and follows Miranda and Meredith.
[2009-11-28 21:20:30] * Becky looked up at Vincent from her spot on the side of the bed, "/Have/ you fathered a child?"
[2009-11-28 21:20:56] * Marie hears Len's exclamation and stands up, peering out the door after them...
[2009-11-28 21:21:33] <Vincent> "Hmmm? This again?" Vincent asked, most likely with a raised eyebrow if anyone could see his eyes. "*cough* I told you, I do not know. For all you know...you could have a child somewhere around too you know?" he answered in a similar way to earlier.
[2009-11-28 21:21:51] * Canis frowned at the uniform's disappearance, and looked back in towards the furnace. Had it been used since she and Miranda had cleaned it?
[2009-11-28 21:22:21] <Becky> "Not in /this/ lifetime...You know...Isabella told us to kill you. Why do you think that is?"
[2009-11-28 21:22:26] <Narrator> 4 The trail leads to the outskirts of the forest, there is suddenly stopped and a large round cratter like formation was apparent. As if something had simply fallen on whatever began that trail.
[2009-11-28 21:23:00] <Miranda> "...this is strange?"
[2009-11-28 21:23:28] <Meredith> "Huh...?" Meredith stepped into the small crater curiously, she knelt over the dirt to look around.
[2009-11-28 21:23:28] * Len looks down at the crater. "Huh, I wonder what happened?" she starts to go down it
[2009-11-28 21:23:53] * Miranda slowly steps in. "P-Please do be careful!"
[2009-11-28 21:24:06] <Vincent> "..." Vincent took a look at her and then coughed once more, before raising his hand and hitting Becky lightly over the head. "Isabella this and Isabella that, you talk as if I should know this person personally. Mind you there are A LOT of maid names that have just...faded out with the repetitions...you know, a description would be nice to begin with." he grinnned at her as if she was being ridiculous.
[2009-11-28 21:24:40] <Narrator> 12 Canis heard a small chattering sound near the furnace as soon as she turned away...
[2009-11-28 21:25:24] * Len explores the crater as she waves off Miranda. "I
[2009-11-28 21:25:32] * Becky recanted what little she saw of her, though skipped what they actually did
[2009-11-28 21:25:34] <Len> 'll be ok"*
[2009-11-28 21:25:49] * Marie steps out the door and follows the trail, 7coming up next to Miranda.  "What /are/ you maids up to?"
[2009-11-28 21:26:37] <Becky> "It's just...You getting sick. Her showing up. The mist getting thicker...It all happened so suddenly."
[2009-11-28 21:27:17] * Meredith stared at the crater. Yup. This was, without a doubt, a crater.
[2009-11-28 21:27:34] * Miranda leaps a bit, surprised. "A-AH! Miss Marie, we were just following a strange trail left by one of those awful spirits."
[2009-11-28 21:27:36] * Vincent coughs again, "...I know...this is the first time I've had so many maids all at once too..." Vincent stated for the first time, "Usually it would be 2 or 4 maids at a time...but nearly double that has appeared...and when they die...they just return nearly instantly..."
[2009-11-28 21:28:09] <Narrator> 4 The maids feel a slight tremor.
[2009-11-28 21:28:09] <Marie> "Hmm, which one?"  She looks around a bit absently.
[2009-11-28 21:28:23] <Miranda> "Oh dear, what was that?"
[2009-11-28 21:28:26] * Marie tenses involuntarily...
[2009-11-28 21:28:32] * Len backs out of the crater. "This doesn't look good."
[2009-11-28 21:28:41] <Becky> "But would you?" Becky asked a second time
[2009-11-28 21:28:57] * Becky thought maybe Vincent would come back as a nicer man...
[2009-11-28 21:28:58] * Miranda steps out as slowly as she stepped in and begins to look around her and the others.
[2009-11-28 21:29:11] <Narrator> 4 The tremor hit again and it was a bit more powerful.
[2009-11-28 21:29:15] <Marie> "So, hey guys...  Let's make like a hockey stick and get the PUCK out of here!"
[2009-11-28 21:29:54] * Len flicks Marie on the forehead. "That was lame"
[2009-11-28 21:30:14] * Meredith looked about...
[2009-11-28 21:30:19] <Vincent> "I've told you, I do not know. You act as if I have all the answers Rebecca..." he sighed, "Your silly theories seem to get you in more trouble than they help. Perhaps you should go back to the drawing board..." he suggested.
[2009-11-28 21:30:58] <Miranda> "O-Oh dear, it's getting closer!"
[2009-11-28 21:31:06] * Marie hmphs at Len.  "Puns aside you should /really/ take my advice here."  She says, turning around and starting to run back for the mansion, but falling flat on her face...
[2009-11-28 21:31:22] <Becky> "Mhm~ lot's of trouble~ but I spend so much time just thinking...It's got me feeling a little manic.." Becky laughed, hiding the knife as she climbed onto the bed and kissed Vincent's cheek, "You've got to know something you're not telling me."
[2009-11-28 21:31:46] <Narrator> 4 The tremor hit once more, this time the maids could feel their bodies shake lightly as the earth trembled.
[2009-11-28 21:32:08] <Meredith> "The mansion's too far... The shrine."
[2009-11-28 21:32:42] * Len looks down at Marie as she holds on to a near by tree. "Do I have to carry you back?" she looks at Meredith and nods. "Yeah, Let's head to the shrine"
[2009-11-28 21:33:14] * Meredith ran back toward Marie and held onto her.
[2009-11-28 21:33:48] * Marie sits up and frowns...  "F-fine...  Carry me if you would..."
[2009-11-28 21:34:11] <Miranda> "O-OK!" she heads to the shrine as well.
[2009-11-28 21:34:28] * Canis seemed to relax, but she itched to raise her shoulders, after seeing Meredith's injuries. She brushed her bangs away from one side of her face and looked over, standing up and turning more fully.
[2009-11-28 21:35:41] <Vincent> "Hmph, well yes I probably do." Vincent answered, unbothered by Becky's proximity as he was accustomed to it. "However...I'd prefer to keep it from you maids for a while longer. At the risk of you harming yourselves because of it."
[2009-11-28 21:36:40] <Vincent> 4 A red glow approaches the maids, it's still rather far off luckily. It would seem that whatever was approaching was slow...
[2009-11-28 21:37:54] <Becky> "Harming ourselves? How sweet...I think it's high time I take the initiative in solving the first mystery I was challenged with when I came here...Have you got a heart?" Becky straddled Vincent's waist and drew up the knife before plunging it down at Vincent's chest.
[2009-11-28 21:40:07] * Meredith shuts her eyes for a moment in concentration... suddenly, Marie could feel a great tug on herself for a moment until suddenly she found herself lying down exactly how she was on the grass, only now inside the confines of the shrine.
[2009-11-28 21:40:20] <Miranda> "W-w-what do we do!?"
[2009-11-28 21:40:23] <Narrator> 12 In the same corner of the room as she first saw her, Canis spotted the same soot covered maid as before. She leaned against the furnace, her bright green eyes somewhat dull, her mouth chattering idly however it did not look as if she had even the strenght to hold herself anymore as her hands fell limply. Her clothes were still in tatters, "...don't touch...me..." she muttered.
[2009-11-28 21:40:37] * Marie blinks a few times...  "Wh-what..."
[2009-11-28 21:40:57] <Len> "We run for it." Len picks Miranda up and runs towards the shrine
[2009-11-28 21:41:12] <Narrator> 4 The blade stopped however suddenly, a ghostly hand gripping Becky's arm.
[2009-11-28 21:41:15] * Meredith smiled down at Marie. "I felt I owed you for earlier."
[2009-11-28 21:41:16] <Miranda> "W-Wait! I can run on my own!"
[2009-11-28 21:41:27] |<-- Dirk has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Quit: )
[2009-11-28 21:42:04] <Len> "Not fast enough." Len states as she arrives at the shrine.
[2009-11-28 21:42:13] <Narrator> 4 The tremors die down and the red glow seemed to head in a different direction...
[2009-11-28 21:42:42] <Miranda> "I-I think it's gone..."
[2009-11-28 21:42:43] * Becky smiles softly, "Is that what I think it is?"
[2009-11-28 21:43:08] <Becky> "Knew I couldn't just up and stab you. Took alot out of me to try though."
[2009-11-28 21:43:29] * Marie smiles up at Meredith, looking a little bit bashful.  "Um...  Th-thanks, Meredith."
[2009-11-28 21:43:36] <Narrator> 3 "I think, is it?" the voice replied and slowly sank into Becky's hand, chilling her skin with a cold grip.
[2009-11-28 21:44:08] * Meredith pulled away and looked over the entrance. "Will they make it fine?"
[2009-11-28 21:44:10] <Vincent> "Rebecca...what exactly are you doing?" Vincent questionned, sitting up fully now.
[2009-11-28 21:44:29] * Len drops Miranda. "Well, what did we learn today? Not to follow suspicious trails when killer spirits are after us?"
[2009-11-28 21:44:43] <Miranda> "I-It didn't do anything wrong."
[2009-11-28 21:44:44] * Marie floats into the air and peers over.  "Looks like they did."
[2009-11-28 21:44:52] <Becky> "Can't blame a girl for trying, can you Vincent? If this isn't you...Something is moving my hand." she laughed nervously, "I was just trying...To help."
[2009-11-28 21:45:18] * Canis tilted her head and let her hair back down. "Didn't get the uniform, huh." Canis stepped over, more in front of the girl. She hesitated for a long couple moments in thought, then opened one hand and held it only a couple inches out. "Need help up?"
[2009-11-28 21:45:30] * Meredith sighed and leaned against the wall. "We have nothing left to see in here..."
[2009-11-28 21:46:30] <Narrator> 3 The ghostly hand moved up higher, pulling Becky's hand with it and revealing itself as it appeared. "Blame for trying, This is my hand." a jarble of different words Becky said were repeated in a different manner, omitting certain words...Becky looked forward and saw herself looking into her own face once again.
[2009-11-28 21:46:32] * Len pokes her head inside the Shrine. "We should get going"
[2009-11-28 21:47:09] <Narrator> 4 The body of the white maiden seems to be gone now however.
[2009-11-28 21:47:35] <Vincent> "...you're insane." Vincent simply replied.
[2009-11-28 21:47:37] * Becky shook her head, "Help me Vincent!" she tried to choke out
[2009-11-28 21:48:02] <Becky> "This isn't my...Hand! Help!"
[2009-11-28 21:48:15] <Meredith> "Becky said we should investigate! I want to at least be out here with more than air!"
[2009-11-28 21:48:17] <Miranda> "B-But the other ghost woman is gone!"
[2009-11-28 21:48:43] * Marie hovers toward Len.  "Well...  That was quite an adventure...  Anyone else feel like a bit of wine might do them good now?"
[2009-11-28 21:48:44] <Len> "Forget Becky, girl is crazy. Let's go back into the mansion"
[2009-11-28 21:49:54] <Miranda> "I suppose you're right." she began to head back to the mansion.
[2009-11-28 21:50:16] <Meredith> "Okay... I'll stay behind to look, though."
[2009-11-28 21:50:39] * Marie turns back to Meredith.  "You want any company...?"
[2009-11-28 21:51:01] * Len nods to Marie "Sure why not.". She grabs Meredith's arm "Nope, you're coming too."
[2009-11-28 21:51:39] * Meredith smiled at Marie, though if the other maid were paying enough attention she could see her legs trembling... "N-no!" Meredith struggled against Lemon's grip.
[2009-11-28 21:52:24] <Vincent> "Becky, you may let go of Rebecca." Vincent seemed to say in a somewhat disgusted tone, the apparition let her frozen grip go.
[2009-11-28 21:53:22] * Marie looks down at Meredith's legs and floats right next to her.  "You seem real shook up..."
[2009-11-28 21:53:24] * Len frowns at Meredith. "No way, you're coming with us. Screw what Becky says."
[2009-11-28 21:53:48] * Becky threw the knife aside, slumping against Vincent, "I'm...I'm sorry...Thank you."
[2009-11-28 21:54:14] * Meredith frowned, but really, what could she do against Len's superior strength? She was simply dragged away...
[2009-11-28 21:54:17] <Narrator> 12 The girl shook her head, "Don't...touch..." she mumbled and looked at the dress, she slowly moved a hand to it...and the dress suddenly began catching fire.
[2009-11-28 21:54:44] <Vincent> "Rebecca, I'm removing your rights as head maid." Vincent stated.
[2009-11-28 21:55:50] * Vincent coughs slightly, "If I cannot trust you with my very life, I can hardly trust you with that kind of responsability. I hope you realized this when you tried your little stunt..." he said, he was not smiling.
[2009-11-28 21:56:38] * Len drags Meredith back to the mansion, expecting the other maids to follow.
[2009-11-28 21:56:40] * Miranda heads into the kitchen to wash dishes once they arrive back at the mansion.
[2009-11-28 21:57:47] * Marie hugs Meredith a little bit sympathetically on the way back to the mansion.
[2009-11-28 21:58:04] * Becky stood up, "Yes. Yes, of course." she sighed, "Perhaps it wasn't a ruse to draw out Isabella. Maybe I did want to see you reborn. Someone who could love me back. I'll redouble my efforts to leave this...Dreadful place." Becky left her headmaid head dress on the nightstand and left Vincent's room.
[2009-11-28 21:58:21] * Meredith looked out at the shrine, but made no further protests. "What do we do now...?"
[2009-11-28 21:59:26] * Len shrugs. "The usual, go back to work, listen to Becky bitch at us, eat, and take care of another annoying guest."
[2009-11-28 21:59:41] * Vincent sighed, "You really are a foolish girl Rebecca, it's not as if I gave you that chance in the first place for no reason." he took the head dress and placed it in his drawer, the apparition dissapeared...
[2009-11-28 21:59:51] * Miranda hums while she washes the dishes, today wasn't too strange.
[2009-11-28 21:59:56] * Meredith hugged Marie now. "I guess I have no problem with that."
[2009-11-28 22:00:04] <Marie> "That doesn't sound very productive, honestly..."  She sighs.
[2009-11-28 22:00:24] * Becky headed downstairs, her shoulders shaking as she headed for the 7kithen
[2009-11-28 22:01:28] * Becky had donned a regular head dress from a closet
[2009-11-28 22:02:10] * Len looks at Marie. "I see nothing wrong with a regular day." she shrugs and heads to the 7dining room to clear up
[2009-11-28 22:02:36] * Becky scanned the kitchen
[2009-11-28 22:03:47] * Marie floats around absently...  She can't really think of much to do...
[2009-11-28 22:04:41] * Len clears up the dining room while whistling a tune. Nothing really did happen today~
[2009-11-28 22:05:01] * Becky thinks to grab a mop, busy her self. Idle hands and all...
[2009-11-28 22:06:10] * Meredith went to the kitchen to fill up a bucket and grab a cloth to wipe the windows with.
[2009-11-28 22:06:37] * Becky starts to mop the first floor methodically, lost in thought
[2009-11-28 22:08:27] * Meredith went about the mansion now, washing windows and drying them too!
[2009-11-28 22:08:32] * Canis hopped back a step, "O-oi, you don't need to... Tche, if you're going to--" Canis snarled to herself and reached out for the girl, trying to at least wave the fire down some, not touching the girl but probably closer than she wanted. Canis didn't particularly care to heed it by this point, but...
[2009-11-28 22:08:44] * Len finishes up the dining room and heads to the living room, she starts dusting everything casually.
[2009-11-28 22:10:36] <Narrator> 12 The woman simply watched as Canis fanned the fire away, she moved her face a bit closer to Canis.
[2009-11-28 22:11:36] * Becky finished mopping, still left with the weight of what she tried to do.
[2009-11-28 22:11:58] <Becky> why stop at Vincent? Kill everyone over and over again, just to see what happens. Experiment.
[2009-11-28 22:12:11] * Becky shakes her head, walking to the 7dining room
[2009-11-28 22:15:05] * Marie floats off to the maid quarters, and starts cleaning things up.  She barely pays attention though, so it's really only the minimum of cleanliness...
[2009-11-28 22:15:37] * Len sighs as she finishes dusting, she goes over to the couch and sits down. "This isn't productive! I'm bored.."
[2009-11-28 22:16:27] * Marie recognizes Canis's room, perhaps by vampirically enhanced senses, and looks around with a devilish grin...
[2009-11-28 22:16:36] * Canis slouched for a moment, at least successful, and looked at the girl a moment before walking away a bit if she didn't react.
[2009-11-28 22:17:45] * Meredith let out a breath and wiped her brow, all that off-screen work sure was tough!
[2009-11-28 22:18:24] <Narrator> 12 The girl whispers something in Canis' ear.
[2009-11-28 22:18:35] * Marie manages to find a pair of pantsu not quite properly put away by the owner...~
[2009-11-28 22:18:58] * Meredith left to the front porch now to sweep up!
[2009-11-28 22:20:41] * Meredith already had her broom from earlier, but the lantern was left in the shrine. She didn't think much of it as she swept up the dirt on the porch, though.
[2009-11-28 22:21:48] * Becky sits where she was when she first saw Isabella...Staring intently at the table
[2009-11-28 22:24:22] * Marie picks them up with a smirk examines them, then folds them and places them on Canis's pillow~
[2009-11-28 22:24:38] <Marie> *and examines
[2009-11-28 22:25:05] * Marie floats out of the room, and hovers in the hallway a bit...
[2009-11-28 22:25:43] * Len stares into space and lazily whistles a tune~
[2009-11-28 22:25:53] * Canis just blinked at her for a moment, trying to make some sense of it while she walked to the other side of the furnace and grabbed a bottle of oil, uncapping it and pouring a little into the furnace. Just one glub or two would do, before she turned back. "Is that you, the fire there, Dusty?"
[2009-11-28 22:26:48] <Narrator> 12 The woman shook her head.
[2009-11-28 22:28:07] * Becky stands, heading for the 7kitchen now
[2009-11-28 22:28:39] * Canis shrugged, and poured some more on before capping it and tossing it back to the others. "Hey, come over here, it's warmer." Canis went back to hold her hand out a little again.
[2009-11-28 22:29:53] * Becky looked through the chemicals under the sink
[2009-11-28 22:30:33] <Vincent> 12 She stared at Canis for a moment and then shook her head, "...go for now..." she advised the other maid.
[2009-11-28 22:30:53] * Becky confirmed the contents and looked around the kitchen, she was itching to make dinner..
[2009-11-28 22:33:48] * Canis shrugged. "Yeah, 'kay." Canis started to turn away for the stairs, but her head twisted around a little and the corner of one eye's gaze settled on that odd refridgerator in the corner. She looked back to Dusty, then started walking towards it.
[2009-11-28 22:39:07] <Narrator> 12 The fridge was there, still looking as out of place as it did before.
[2009-11-28 22:40:52] * Canis tapped the box twice with her foot and leaned over it. She put a hand on it, finding it, well, a solid box.
[2009-11-28 22:41:20] * Becky looked to Miranda, "...Find anything?"
[2009-11-28 22:42:37] * Becky started to put together some food
[2009-11-28 22:42:43] * Miranda finishes up the dishes. "Whew! that took longer than I thought." she says, rolling her sleeves back down. "Well, we did find a corpse, then that strange floating orb..."
[2009-11-28 22:42:53] * Meredith looked down to the shrine and gripped her broom. She looked about for anybody else... and then took the step toward that shrine.
[2009-11-28 22:43:16] * Len got bored of sitting there and twidling her fingers and decides to start the fire place up.
[2009-11-28 22:43:40] <Becky> "...I see." Becky started to put together dinner
[2009-11-28 22:44:32] * Marie finds a feather duster and decides to tidy up the second floor...  It's safe to say that she has committed genocide against whatever dust might have been up there at the time.
[2009-11-28 22:45:10] <Narrator> 3 Meredith...heard a howl.
[2009-11-28 22:45:30] * Becky mad a...simple soup. "Couldn't find Isabella." she lied
[2009-11-28 22:45:36] <Becky> made*
[2009-11-28 22:45:45] * Meredith gulped down her instinct to run as she edged toward the shrine...
[2009-11-28 22:45:55] <Miranda> "Ah well~" she heads out the back to the shrine.
[2009-11-28 22:46:47] <Narrator> 12 There seemed to be something behind it.
[2009-11-28 22:47:30] * Miranda notices Meredith on her arrival. "Ah! Miss Meredith, did you come out here to clean too?"
[2009-11-28 22:47:47] * Canis leaned over the fridge and looked, reaching with her other hand at the object.
[2009-11-28 22:48:09] * Becky once Miranda was gone, Becky broke a glass and started to grind it into powder with a pestle...
[2009-11-28 22:48:12] * Meredith seemed to jump in shock upon hearing Miranda's voice, her fearful trembling becoming more apparent. "O-oh, Miranda. Yes..."
[2009-11-28 22:48:25] <Narrator> 12 Canis retrieved a skeletal hand...it was holding two things within it's grip however.
[2009-11-28 22:48:41] * Becky hummed softly to herself, "Nothing helps the flu like some chicken noodle soup~"
[2009-11-28 22:49:09] <Miranda> "What's wrong?" she asks, finally arriving...doh, she forgot her broom.
[2009-11-28 22:49:40] * Becky sprinkled some of the fine powdered glass into a bowl of soup and set it aside on a tray, /just/ for Vincent. Though she'd have to have someone else take it up...
[2009-11-28 22:49:51] <Meredith> "Just... Just something I heard." She tried her best to make a shaky smile, but it only came off as a wince as she started to sweep idly on the shrine grounds.
[2009-11-28 22:50:24] * Len starts the fire successfully and sits in front of it. Wondering what happened to those kids.
[2009-11-28 22:50:40] <Miranda> "Hm? I didn't hear anything~ You must just be tired."
[2009-11-28 22:50:57] * Canis dropped the hand on top of the fridge shortly after realizing what it was. She backed away a step and then re-approached it, it not seeming like it would kill her. Yet. She reached for the arm's hand.
[2009-11-28 22:52:09] * Meredith looked down in surprise as the broom left her grip suddenly, too slick from her sweaty palms. "Haa..."
[2009-11-28 22:52:36] * Becky puts in a dash of sea salt and pepper, she had to set it up just right- no one else knew she tried to kill Vincent so she shouldn't be suspicious, but she had to make this soup look normal. The powder was fine enough it wouldn't catch on his tongue, but trying to pass through his throat...His stomach...It would surely do him in.
[2009-11-28 22:53:06] <Narrator> 12 Inside it's grip, she could find two [Singed Pictures] of what looked like Dusty when she was still...well...normal...wait, a picture?
[2009-11-28 22:53:23] * Becky puts a cup of tea onto the tray with the bowl of soup and carries it to the living room, spotting Len. "...Could you please take this meal to the master?"
[2009-11-28 22:53:44] <Meredith> "I guess... am I tired? Hee, maybe."
[2009-11-28 22:54:12] * Len gives Becky an odd look. "...Don't you usually bring up all of his meals?" she says while getting up.
[2009-11-28 22:54:47] <Becky> "We had an argument...Lover's quarrel." she smiled, "So I don't know if he wants to see me right now..."
[2009-11-28 22:55:52] * Len takes the tray, still giving Becky a strange look. "...You seem to be in too much a good mood.."
[2009-11-28 22:56:28] <Becky> "I'm trying to be. I've had a hard day, and it'll only get harder if I wear a frown."
[2009-11-28 22:56:36] * Meredith looked up at Miranda now, not bothering to sweep anymore.
[2009-11-28 22:57:01] * Miranda is just standing there with her usual smile on. "Well, looks like we both messed up~ I forgot my broom."
[2009-11-28 22:57:31] <Narrator> 3 The howl seems to distance itself away...
[2009-11-28 22:57:51] * Len starts to go to Vincent's room, stops, and looks back. "I liked it better when you yelled at us."
[2009-11-28 22:57:52] <Meredith> "You could use my broom I guess. For some reason I just can't..." She knelt down to pick up the broom again and hand it to Miranda. "Here you go."
[2009-11-28 22:58:30] <Becky> "...I'll keep that in mind."
[2009-11-28 22:59:18] * Becky did fight this wide smile...She may just go retrieve her head maid headdress later~
[2009-11-28 22:59:40] * Len shrugs and heads up to Vincent's room. She knocks on the door. "Dinner time"
[2009-11-28 23:00:02] <Miranda> "Ah, ok!" she takes the broom and begins cleaning~
[2009-11-28 23:00:39] <Vincent> "Hmm? Oh, come in Len." Vincent offered.
[2009-11-28 23:00:49] * Meredith follows Miranda about, trying to help by wiping a cloth on the hard to reach areas.
[2009-11-28 23:01:27] * Becky heads to the 7kitchen sitting down to pour her own bowl from the pot...But decided to have some bread instead. There wasn't glass in the pot, but she felt nervous for some reason.
[2009-11-28 23:02:22] * Len opens the door balancing the tray on one of her arms. "Here, it's soup."
[2009-11-28 23:02:41] * Canis looked at them. Huh, but where'd they come from? Especially if the arm...was just the bone now. She touched their edges a little to see if they'd survive being put in her pocket. She then reached out, hesitated, then picked up the arm and set it back down behind the fridge--if it hadn't been found in this long...
[2009-11-28 23:03:32] <Narrator> 12 Something was clearly off about the pictures of Dusty however...
[2009-11-28 23:04:10] <Vincent> "Soup?" Vincent asked, looking pretty hungry. He paused however, "...who made this?"
[2009-11-28 23:05:15] <Miranda> "All done!" she sets the broom down. "Shall we head back?"
[2009-11-28 23:05:28] * Len shrugs. "Becky gave it to me to bring up to you, she seemed to be acting weird." she sets the tray down on a nearby desk
[2009-11-28 23:05:32] <Meredith> "Mhm..." In the end, she never found anything it seems.
[2009-11-28 23:06:15] <Vincent> "She did...?" Vincent sighed, "Maybe she was feeling bad about earlier..." he looked a bit mixed on how to feel about it, he took the plate and began to eat the soup.
[2009-11-28 23:06:40] * Becky finished eating and took to pacing. Biting her nails. This was...The right thing to do.
[2009-11-28 23:06:54] * Miranda heads back to the mansion~
[2009-11-28 23:07:11] * Meredith returned back, though a little shaky from crossing the grounds again.
[2009-11-28 23:08:24] * Len stretches her arms. "About what? Your argument?"
[2009-11-28 23:08:38] <Vincent> "...she tried to kill me." Vincent replied.
[2009-11-28 23:09:17] <Len> "...Really?"
[2009-11-28 23:09:23] * Marie floats downstairs and lays around in the air...  She can't find much to occupy herself...
[2009-11-28 23:09:23] * Canis held the pictures against her hand as she began walking across the basement to the foot of the steps.
[2009-11-28 23:10:04] * Becky sat in the dining room once more. Where was everyone?
[2009-11-28 23:10:49] * Meredith returned to the 7dining room! "I think... that should be everything."
[2009-11-28 23:11:14] <Becky> "Oh?"
[2009-11-28 23:11:22] <Narrator> 12 Upon closer inspection, Canis could see that Dusty was indeed...smiling, happily in fact. But that was not the strange part, in the background, Canis could see...the sky, a clear blue sky in fact, it was unmistakable! Also, she noted that Dusty was quite Bus-...wrong mansion setting.
[2009-11-28 23:12:41] <Meredith> "I checked the shrine all over, Becky... I'm sorry." She turned to the table to sit down.
[2009-11-28 23:12:49] * Vincent stops drinking his soup.
[2009-11-28 23:13:14] <Becky> "Don't be." she tried to offer a smile, but gave a half-one, stopping midway. "It was a long-shot to start."
[2009-11-28 23:13:41] <Len> "What's wrong? Don't like the soup?"
[2009-11-28 23:14:03] <Meredith> "Did Len tell you about the corpse?"
[2009-11-28 23:14:07] * Vincent begins spitting out the soup. "Peh! There's some kind of sand in there!" he complained as he spat.
[2009-11-28 23:14:13] <Meredith> "Oh, we saw a crater /around/ there."
[2009-11-28 23:14:34] * Canis noticed all the points painfully, both first points putting a heavy weight in her stomach. She re-collected her broom from next to the oil bottles, though she didn't bother to right the one she'd used. She made a wave over her shoulder towards Dusty, then turned her head to look where the girl was over her shoulder. Her mouth moved. Then she started back up the steps.
[2009-11-28 23:15:59] * Len takes the bowl away from him. "Maybe she's still trying to kill you.."
[2009-11-28 23:19:02] <Vincent> "...Len, I believe this is truly enough. Please help me downstairs to go see Rebecca."
[2009-11-28 23:19:28] <Becky> "I'm going to cut some more bread."
[2009-11-28 23:19:39] <Becky> "Tell me about this...Crater."
[2009-11-28 23:19:45] * Marie floats around absently still...  Would she be spotted by Vincent or Canis on their way elsewhere...?
[2009-11-28 23:19:49] * Becky stood and walked to the kitchen to grab a bread knife

[2009-11-28 23:20:40] * Len puts the bowl away and helps Vincent up. "A-Alright."
[2009-11-28 23:20:53] <Meredith> "Oh, umm... It was weird. We followed a trail a bit away from the shrine, which then cut off at this hole in the ground that I called a crater."
[2009-11-28 23:21:26] <Meredith> "As soon as we got there, the ground started to shake really badly though, so we couldn't search it too well."
[2009-11-28 23:22:09] * Vincent leans against Len and begins walking out of his room, he coughs up a bit of blood...
[2009-11-28 23:22:51] * Meredith started to eat her soup, enjoying the nice and steamy feel of the broth.
[2009-11-28 23:24:25] * Becky sliced some bread in the kitchen
[2009-11-28 23:24:26] <Len> "You ok?" Len says while walking Vincent down the stairs.
[2009-11-28 23:25:03] * Canis put her broom away and headed to the dining room table...was there still a portion of breakfast for her there?
[2009-11-28 23:25:09] <Vincent> "I've felt better." he muttered lightly, "Just help me down, I need to talk to Rebecca."

[2009-11-28 23:27:02] * Meredith made slurping sounds as she ate.
[2009-11-28 23:27:22] * Len helps Vincent to the living room and sets him down on the couch. "You're heavy, I'll go get Becky"
[2009-11-28 23:27:28] * Marie glances up at Vincent and Len.  "Aw man, it's going to waste..."  She says, smirking in a way that made her fangs a bit more prominent.  "But, uh, seriously...  What the hell happened to you?"
[2009-11-28 23:28:18] <Vincent> "Alright, please do bring everyone else as well." Vincent asked.
[2009-11-28 23:29:38] * Len nods and starts towards the kitchen, she glances at Marie as walks out "Stop thinking weird things."
[2009-11-28 23:30:03] * Canis devoured the soup hungrily, lost in thought and lightly growling to herself now and again.
[2009-11-28 23:30:18] * Meredith blinked up at Canis as she ate.
[2009-11-28 23:30:30] * Vincent coughs out some more blood, "Apparently Rebecca has decided she has had enough with me as her master." he tried to grin for Marie.
[2009-11-28 23:31:04] <Marie> "Hmph.  It's perfectly normal for my species..."  She says, drifting into an upside down position...  Her skirt...  Probably started to go as gravity directs.
[2009-11-28 23:32:18] * Vincent of course, pays no mind to Marie's panty shot, he simply coughed a bit and tried to relax a bit.
[2009-11-28 23:32:27] * Len passes through the dining room. "Vincent is calling a meeting in the living room, so head there now I guess.." she heads into the kitchen to pass on the info
[2009-11-28 23:32:56] * Becky looked to Len coming in, "Want some bread?"
[2009-11-28 23:33:21] * Meredith blinked again at Len. "Okay!" Taking her bowl of soup, she headed to the 7living room at Len's request.
[2009-11-28 23:33:27] * Marie glances at Vincent...  "Huh...  And here I thought she would be the last one to try that..."
[2009-11-28 23:33:45] <Len> "So you tried to kill him?" Len gets straight to the point
[2009-11-28 23:34:18] * Meredith looked up at Vincent. "Oh... Is it your time already? Nobody said anything about that."
[2009-11-28 23:34:20] * Canis finished off all of her soup, then blinked, turning to stare back at Meredith.
[2009-11-28 23:34:39] * Canis grabbed a napkin and wiped at her chin if that was it...
[2009-11-28 23:34:50] * Becky narrowed her view and leaned next to Len, "You heard Isabella. And truth be told I heard her again. If you want out of here, /help me/."
[2009-11-28 23:35:46] * Meredith smiled at Canis before she had picked up her soup and left.
[2009-11-28 23:36:21] * Miranda scurries over to the living room. "Oh my, what's wrong with Master Vincent?"
[2009-11-28 23:36:26] * Len leans against the counter. "Well, putting glass in his soup didn't work."
[2009-11-28 23:36:48] * Meredith somehow hadn't noticed Marie's compromising position?
[2009-11-28 23:36:50] * Canis looked up towards Len's brief announcement and then her eyes followed Meredith out of the room. She looked around the table for that breakfast plate, and then pushed her plate back and stood up, 7also going to the living room.
[2009-11-28 23:37:36] <Becky> "I missed my chance the first time, and damnit if I didn't fuck up the second. I thought short grain rice and peppercorns would mask the texture too...But will you help me?"
[2009-11-28 23:37:43] * Marie waves to Canis, though her expression is pretty neutral...
[2009-11-28 23:38:42] <Len> "What's with the change of heart? Just this morning you told me that you'll drain the blood of everyone here to save him. Now you want him dead? This is kind of messed up."
[2009-11-28 23:39:06] <Vincent> "I believe Rebecca has taken the time to put some glass in my dinner...considering the fact that I am currently coughing blood." Vincent coughed to demonstrate.
[2009-11-28 23:39:40] <Miranda> "I-I knew I should've cooked!"
[2009-11-28 23:39:41] <Becky> "That was before I knew what I knew.." Becky urged Isabella, please...Tell her! Help me like you said!
[2009-11-28 23:40:15] <Meredith> "...Oh, no, but it's not your time, Master..."
[2009-11-28 23:40:23] * Meredith looked down in disappointment at this news.
[2009-11-28 23:40:32] <Becky> "Either  you help me now and we can end this mist bullshit, or things are about to get really messy here. Because Vincent's going to point me to the door, and there's no way in hell I'm going without a fight."
[2009-11-28 23:41:30] * Canis waved briefly to Marie, before putting her hand back to ruffle her bangs. She leaned against a wall to watch, a hand covering her cheek, and listened to the others.
[2009-11-28 23:41:37] <Canis> "Dangerous bitch."

[2009-11-28 23:42:05] <Marie> "Gotta wonder what drove /her/ of all people to it."  She says, shrugging but still upside down...
[2009-11-28 23:42:22] * Len looks towards the doorway and rubs the back of her head as she lets out a forced laugh "Geez this is tough. Vincent told me to bring you to the living room so I guess I should decide now?"
[2009-11-28 23:42:35] <Vincent> "I wonder about that myself." Vincent sighed, "Perhaps I have been too rough on her as of late?" he wondered.
[2009-11-28 23:43:43] * Becky puts a hand on Len's shoulder, "You've gotta decide. You can kill me, and see me the next day /maybe/, oblivious, and with no ideas on the kind of shit we're in. Or you can help me kill Vincent, and Isabella will give us the answers we need to get out of here. Isn't that what you want..?"
[2009-11-28 23:44:18] <Marie> "Maybe she should swap the uniform for a spot in the guest room for a few days..."
[2009-11-28 23:44:24] * Becky turned and walked toward the living room, "I'll make a move when the time is right. You'll be the first I look to, whatever you decide."
[2009-11-28 23:45:03] * Becky arrived in the 7living room "Len says you want to have a meeting."
[2009-11-28 23:45:30] * Meredith bit her lip, quickly looked up at Becky, then down at the ground.
[2009-11-28 23:45:49] * Len raises an eyebrow at Becky's offer, she shakes her head and heads towards the living room behind Becky
[2009-11-28 23:46:17] <Vincent> "Indeed, I'd like to discuss about the contents of my meal tonight...Rebecca, what exactly as gotten into you? Just this morning I would trust you with my life without even blinking and yet now..." he trailed off, "Could I at least hope for an explanation?"
[2009-11-28 23:47:17] * Becky feigned innocence, "I will admit I tried something foolish this morning...But what are you talking about? The meal was fine. You're being paranoid. I understand that you don't trust me but this is too much..."
[2009-11-28 23:48:01] * Vincent turned to the others, "May I ask who made dinner tonight?"
[2009-11-28 23:48:28] * Meredith blinked as she looked up. "W-wait! Maybe it was a ghost!"
[2009-11-28 23:49:00] <Becky> "Isabella made it into the mansion despite the shrine. It's not out of logic there may be others."
[2009-11-28 23:50:12] <Marie> "To be fair, she wasn't too concerned with the shrine while it was being constructed either.  I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that she's a ghost."
[2009-11-28 23:50:13] <Vincent> "No, believe me. It is impossible for a spirit to enter unless someone requested it's presence." Vincent replied.
[2009-11-28 23:50:28] <Becky> "Then who requested Isabella?"
[2009-11-28 23:50:57] <Vincent> "...is she really a spirit?" Vincent asked.
[2009-11-28 23:51:05] <Miranda> "B-But Miss Isabella looked like a person..."
[2009-11-28 23:51:08] <Becky> "None of us maids knew of her until she came inside...In fact, you're the only one who knew her name."
[2009-11-28 23:51:40] <Canis> "Who's Isabella?" Canis piped up from the wall.
[2009-11-28 23:51:55] <Becky> "Claims to be Vincent's daughter."
[2009-11-28 23:52:17] * Marie floats over to Canis's side.  "The purple haired girl, sat on top of the shrine while we were building it?"
[2009-11-28 23:52:21] <Vincent> "Yes, but I do know a lot of names mind you. Every single maid that has been here, every single guest, every single butler..." he pointed to his tophat, most likely meaning his head, "All in here. Frankly I know over 10 different Rebeccas as well."
[2009-11-28 23:52:22] <Becky> "It would help if she'd show up...A witness. If we can summon her, let's do that. Everyone." Becky looked around the room
[2009-11-28 23:52:49] <Becky> "Those 10 different Rebeccas are just that. Different."
[2009-11-28 23:53:08] <Vincent> "Honestly, I have no idea what you are getting at Rebecca."
[2009-11-28 23:53:18] <Vincent> "It does not change the fact that you tried to kill me this morning."
[2009-11-28 23:53:37] <Becky> "Isabella..." Becky clasped her hands together.
[2009-11-28 23:54:03] <Becky> "Come here."
[2009-11-28 23:54:40] <Meredith> "...Isabella, you wanted something from me, right? Now's a good time."
[2009-11-28 23:54:46] <Len> "Becky, you're making yourself look insane. Isabella will show up on her own."
[2009-11-28 23:55:00] <Becky> "She better." Becky grimaced. We had a deal.
[2009-11-28 23:55:12] <Miranda> "M-Miss Becky is starting to scare me..."
[2009-11-28 23:55:45] * Canis looked over at Vincent, then to Marie. "Her? She at least seemed to know us. This part of the catching up?"
[2009-11-28 23:55:54] <Miranda> "She was so obsessed with finding her this morning that she had me search through a guest book..."
[2009-11-28 23:56:31] * Marie nods.  "Also, you might have noticed I can fly now~"  She says with a smirk.
[2009-11-28 23:58:03] <Vincent> "...I believe Rebecca might have finally become deranged..." Vincent shook his head, her credibility was low.
[2009-11-28 23:58:24] * Becky unclasped her hands, "We have all seen Isabella regardless. And she told us to kill you."
[2009-11-28 23:58:30] * Meredith sighed as nothing happened.
[2009-11-28 23:58:52] <Becky> "How much should we really care about you? How long do you intend to live in this place?"
[2009-11-28 23:59:19] <Miranda> "H-How much of what she said can be believed?!" she blurts out.
[2009-11-28 23:59:40] <Becky> "Liar or not, I can't stand the sight of Vincent anymore...This has to change! We have to break this cycle!"
[2009-11-28 23:59:47] <Marie> "Uuuu!  That makes me think!"  She raises her hand...  And it touches the floor.  "Is this mansion...  Even on Earth?"
[2009-11-28 23:59:52] <Miranda> "Then leave."
[2009-11-29 00:00:13] <Vincent> "Rebecca, if you are to threaten me once more. I believe you know what shall happen..."
[2009-11-29 00:00:17] <Becky> "To die and come back? Or just fade away? I want to /live/."
[2009-11-29 00:00:41] * Miranda sighs. "You'll forget everything, what will it matter then?"
[2009-11-29 00:00:42] <Becky> "What choice have I got Vincent?"
[2009-11-29 00:00:44] <Vincent> "Your selfish nature means you'll only want to live for yourself...you'll live, but alone in that case."
[2009-11-29 00:01:37] <Becky> "If anyone should live alone, it's you. You're like a damn spider, and the mist is a web."
[2009-11-29 00:02:20] <Becky> "An overwhelming amount of the guests here were 'punished'."
[2009-11-29 00:02:28] * Vincent grinned and coughed, "Your little theories again? You never learn..."
[2009-11-29 00:02:57] <Miranda> "U-Umm...Isn't that /our/ job though?"
[2009-11-29 00:03:26] <Miranda> "V-Vincent hasn't interfered with the punishing or healing of any of our guests so far...at least, I don't think he did."
[2009-11-29 00:03:27] <Becky> "What do you know!? All you ever say is 'I don't know', 'I don't remember'! Maybe I think I'll get some answers out of you at your death bed. And this was all in the past Miranda, this place has been here unnaturally long.."
[2009-11-29 00:04:41] <Vincent> "Would you rather I tell you nothing but lies Rebecca?" Vincent asked, tipping his hat forward a bit.
[2009-11-29 00:04:42] * Canis looked away. "Yeah, I have, and your undies are sho--" Canis paused and stared blankly for a moment. "You're flying why are you flying how catching up yet?"
[2009-11-29 00:04:42] * Meredith stepped back slowly away from Becky, toward the other maids.
[2009-11-29 00:05:20] <Miranda> "Poor Miss Becky, won't even listen to reason..." she shakes her head.
[2009-11-29 00:05:57] <Becky> "It'd be nice, maybe. Keep me satiated. A few little lies. Too late now."
[2009-11-29 00:06:10] <Vincent> "I must apologize...but I believe we must expel Rebecca from our mansion." Vincent sighed.
[2009-11-29 00:06:19] * Len lowers her head, seems like she made up her mind about the offer.
[2009-11-29 00:06:22] <Vincent> "Girls, please do away with her."
[2009-11-29 00:06:28] <Miranda> "F-First she wants the truth...now she says she wants lies?...."
[2009-11-29 00:06:32] * Miranda shakes her head again.
[2009-11-29 00:06:48] * Canis put her bored pokerface back on and leaned back against the wall.
[2009-11-29 00:07:00] <Miranda> "A-Are you sure, sir?"
[2009-11-29 00:07:02] <Marie> "Oh...?"  She flips right side up at Vincent's order.
[2009-11-29 00:07:05] <Meredith> "I can't do that, Master..."

[2009-11-29 00:11:06] <Becky> what did the grin mean? Adrenaline rushed through her as she attacked, "I'm not going out into the mist! Vincent has to die!"

[2009-11-29 00:31:29] <Vincent> "It has never changed and never will change right Rebecca?" for a moment, Becky thought she saw a glint underneath his hat.
[2009-11-29 00:31:46] * Canis ground her teeth, pulling her wrist to still try and interfere with Becky, then caught movement to the backside. "Len, le--te?" Canis fell backwards some, out of the way, "Oi, Miranda, don't make this any more crazy--!"
[2009-11-29 00:32:01] <Becky> "I've done my best to help the other maids! And I'm doing my best...To make change!"
[2009-11-29 00:34:42] * Len makes a move to deal a swift kick to Miranda's stomach
[2009-11-29 00:35:39] * Miranda takes the kick...but just stands there, her arm still being held by Len. "Becky....stop this..." her eyes looked void of any life.
[2009-11-29 00:36:03] <Marie> "Geez...  It's almost like she got rabies or something..."  She says, taking out her rifle somehow...
[2009-11-29 00:36:03] <Becky> "It'll be fine Miranda!"
[2009-11-29 00:36:22] * Becky tries to maintain her hold on Vincent
[2009-11-29 00:41:34] * Vincent puts his other hand within his jacket and pulls out, a piece of candy, which he pops into his mouth and promptly chews. A bit of his color returns..."I-I'm glad I made these when I was a bit younger...I believe anyways..."
[2009-11-29 00:42:44] * Becky dragged Vincent toward her with the whip, pulling it tight. "Die...Die!"
[2009-11-29 00:45:04] * Marie charged Becky and made to hit her with the but of the rifle!
[2009-11-29 00:46:36] * Becky shoulder checked Marie while pulling Vincent toward her
[2009-11-29 00:46:59] <Becky> "I wonder...If I've tried this before, Vincent." she laughed
[2009-11-29 00:47:09] <Becky> "Or if you've ever killed me..."
[2009-11-29 00:47:42] <Vincent> "Not that I know of...you're insane Rebecca..." he coughed louder and spat out blood. "You may think you are doing the right thing...but you're just deluding yourself, you're just doing it for yourself..."
[2009-11-29 00:48:18] * Becky whispered, "You're right. I am. And it feels...Fucking...Great."
[2009-11-29 00:49:17] <Vincent> "Hahahaha..." Vincent grinned again.
[2009-11-29 00:50:24] <Becky> "If someone would just do something for /me/ everyonce in awhile!" Becky wound the whip around her hand as she pulled
[2009-11-29 00:51:49] <Vincent> "Hahahaha...did you forget Rebecca?" Vincent asked her, "Well, it does not matter. I'm sure it'll come to you eventually, no need to look into your past self either..."
[2009-11-29 00:52:23] <Becky> "I'm sure it will~"
[2009-11-29 00:52:33] * Meredith sighed as she leaned on her arm and watched... Wait, was she bored?
[2009-11-29 00:53:07] * Canis growled lowly, "I don't blame you, Red, you're just trying to survive. No matter what." She then reached a hand under her skirt and flung a knife across at Becky!
[2009-11-29 00:53:53] * Becky dodged the knife, "Glad to see you see it my way!"
[2009-11-29 00:56:03] * Marie floats back a ways and aims at Becky.  "And here I was hoping I would get a chance for a real savory taste..."  She sighs and pulls the trigger with a smirk.
[2009-11-29 00:56:20] * Becky dropped the whip and pulled her bread knife from her apron, "Should known. Measure twice, cut once." plunging her knife down on Vincent's chest
[2009-11-29 00:56:30] <Becky> shoulda*
[2009-11-29 00:57:18] * Becky had managed to dodge the bullet as she ducked down to Vincent
[2009-11-29 00:59:10] * Vincent took the knife into chest, he coughed hard and began coughing up even more blood that very instant. "Hahahaha...such a fool..." he laughed once last time before finally his body stopped moving and he fell limp in Becky's grip...
[2009-11-29 00:59:26] * Meredith finally stood up and walked toward Vincent.
[2009-11-29 00:59:34] <Narrator> 4 The lights turn off inside the mansion.
[2009-11-29 00:59:37] <Becky> "Fuck you!" Becky spat at him, ripping off his hat as she stepped back
[2009-11-29 01:00:13] * Meredith grabbed onto the master's corpse as she looked up at Becky.
[2009-11-29 01:00:36] * Becky clutched a knife in one hand and whip in the other
[2009-11-29 01:00:50] <Narrator> 3 A phanstasmal pair of hands grabbed both Marie and Meredith...and suddenly they were envelopped in a swirl of mist and dissapeared...
[2009-11-29 01:00:56] * Len looks up as she kept Miranda from stabbing her
[2009-11-29 01:01:05] * Canis hopped backwards and to the side, trying to back herself against a wall in the darkness, wondering if they'd turn against the other maids next... Probably not a fight to be won.
[2009-11-29 01:01:49] <Marie> "B-Bell...?  Is that you?  You're not just going to leave Canis, are you?"  She calls out, not sure where she is at all...
[2009-11-29 01:02:16] * Becky tried to look about in the darkness
[2009-11-29 01:02:46] * Len squints through the darkness. "What just happened?" she calls out to Becky
[2009-11-29 01:02:54] <Narrator> 4 Sounds around the mansion went wild with macabre sounds of shaking and violence, a white flash ran past the open hallway before them...a white dress...
[2009-11-29 01:03:40] * Becky crosses over to Len, "Whatever's going on. We'll try our best to get through it."
[2009-11-29 01:04:29] <Narrator> 3 "Oh, well I'm afraid I'm only obligated to you two...Canis will have to do her very best I imagine." Isabella replied, as she released the two within the confines of her mansion.
[2009-11-29 01:04:47] <Becky> "Obligated?"
[2009-11-29 01:05:50] * Becky looked to Len, "Let's work on getting some lights on."
[2009-11-29 01:05:57] * Meredith stared down at the ground. "What's going to happen, Isabella?"
[2009-11-29 01:06:03] <Marie> "B-but she didn't even get a chance to be properly introduced, did she?"  She looks pleadingly at Isabella.
[2009-11-29 01:06:27] * Len lets go of Miranda and shrugs. "Let's start with the fireplace I guess."
[2009-11-29 01:07:15] <Narrator> 3 "I always figured everything would simply end if he were dead. And so we wait."
[2009-11-29 01:07:36] * Becky kneeled down with Miranda, "I'll watch her."
[2009-11-29 01:07:58] * Becky snapped in front of Miranda's face, "Hey. We're going to get our bearings and try to get out of here alright?"
[2009-11-29 01:07:59] * Meredith looked about the mansion as she counted the seconds.
[2009-11-29 01:08:17] <Narrator> 12 Canis can see some green eyes peering at her from the hallway...
[2009-11-29 01:08:18] <Becky> "I want you to come with us, we can make it."
[2009-11-29 01:08:52] * Canis felt around backwards, pulling her other knife from under her shirt and backing against a wall she could run from, she couldn't throw this one... She crouched down, muttering silently to herself. She shivered and looked over.
[2009-11-29 01:10:49] <Marie> "Isabella...  Can't you do anything to help Canis?"
[2009-11-29 01:11:07] <Narrator> 4 The mansion grew colder, the ground became a bit more moist from what they could tell...
[2009-11-29 01:12:01] * Becky helped Miranda off the ground, "Len, I would like to thank you for helping me. And I do apologize it didn't...Work out the way I thought it might."
[2009-11-29 01:13:18] <Narrator> 3 "I'm afraid not. Canis can handle herself I'm sure." Isabella answered.
[2009-11-29 01:13:26] * Len shivers and rubs her arms. "Oh, no problem. It's cold, I should light the fire place" Len walks over to the fireplace and attempts to light it.
[2009-11-29 01:14:16] * Becky helped Miranda over to sit near the fireplace, "Yeah, it is..."
[2009-11-29 01:14:32] <Becky> "Miranda's really in shock.."
[2009-11-29 01:15:07] * Len nods. "She kept calling me 'Becky'"
[2009-11-29 01:15:09] * Miranda sits there, eyes glazed over still gripping her knife.
[2009-11-29 01:15:10] * Marie bites her lip a bit and floats around...  "Th-that's too bad..."
[2009-11-29 01:15:31] <Becky> "Pardon...? Who did?"
[2009-11-29 01:15:40] <Len> "Miranda"
[2009-11-29 01:15:44] * Meredith finally looks up at Isabella. "Isabella...? When did you  want that favor? I think that counts for two now..."
[2009-11-29 01:15:52] <Becky> "That's...Strange..."
[2009-11-29 01:16:29] <Miranda> "Mn...." she mumbles, still sitting there.
[2009-11-29 01:16:39] <Narrator> 12 The green eyes shook from side to side lightly and dissapeared...
[2009-11-29 01:16:42] * Becky tried to ease the knife out of Miranda's hands, "We'll wait a bit, get our strength together, and be ready to move out of here soon. Head for the shrine first I think."
[2009-11-29 01:17:09] * Miranda was pretty intent on keeping the knife.
[2009-11-29 01:17:44] <Len> "Sounds like a good plan, I heard some weird noises outside....what happened to the other three?"
[2009-11-29 01:17:46] <Narrator> 3 "Tsk, I really figured killing the old man would do the trick...he's the entire reason we're here...I'm sure of it!" Isabelle swore lightly under her breath. "So why the hell is it taking so long?!"
[2009-11-29 01:18:04] * Becky grimaced, "I'm not sure. They...Just disappeared."
[2009-11-29 01:18:20] <Marie> "Where...  Is here, exactly?  Do you know?"
[2009-11-29 01:18:35] <Becky> "Is it really just us three? I wonder why.."
[2009-11-29 01:19:11] <Len> "Heh, maybe the universe is pissed off."
[2009-11-29 01:19:15] <Meredith> "Becky did as you asked, though! Why isn't she with us?"
[2009-11-29 01:19:17] * Canis 's bangs covered most of them, but slivers of Canis's golden eyes flashed into the growing darkness. She bit down a shiver as she pressed down the impulse to run, run, run.
[2009-11-29 01:19:47] <Marie> "Personally I'm glad /Becky/ isn't."  She says with a snort.
[2009-11-29 01:20:15] <Narrator> 3 "Hmm? Because I didn't like her. At all." Isabella answered simply, "She reminded me a bit too much of someone I knew before..."
[2009-11-29 01:20:27] <Narrator> 3 "As for where here is..."
[2009-11-29 01:20:35] * Becky laughs, "We're likely in the calm before the storm."
[2009-11-29 01:20:49] <Narrator> 4 "The storm."
[2009-11-29 01:21:01] <Becky> "After all this time no one has really tried to kill him?"
[2009-11-29 01:21:30] <Narrator> 4 "Really tried to kill him?" Becky could hear that all too familiar repetition of her own voice.
[2009-11-29 01:21:53] <Len> "Probably, maybe his other maids were happy with this."
[2009-11-29 01:22:02] * Becky grabbed her weapons, "Come close Len, I spoke too soon. Can you carry Miranda? We've got to get out of here."
[2009-11-29 01:22:24] * Meredith suddenly jumped  to her feet. "But that's not fair! She did more for you than we did!"
[2009-11-29 01:23:11] * Len nods as she stands up, she picks Miranda up and goes to stand next to Becky
[2009-11-29 01:23:26] <Narrator> 3 Isabella ignored Meredith's outburst, trying to think of a way to define things to Marie as simply as possible.
[2009-11-29 01:24:48] * Becky starts to move for the back door, "We'll go to the shrine first..." she nodded, heading just that way
[2009-11-29 01:24:57] * Marie floats over to Meredith's side and hugs her.   "We're probably better off without her with us..."
[2009-11-29 01:26:01] * Len follows Becky while carrying a crazed Miranda to the shrine. "Maybe the shrine will fix her.." she wonders outloud
[2009-11-29 01:27:01] * Meredith pouted childishly, but she did lean against Marie as she placed her arms over the other's chest. "I hope she's better off without us, then."
[2009-11-29 01:27:16] <Becky> "Our maybes haven't been going so well...But that'd be nice." Becky headed inside the shrine, "Hello? Any one spirit out there wanna help out for a change?"

[2009-11-29 01:28:35] -->| Narrator (final_agen@sux-5A666292.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #MAIDRP
[2009-11-29 01:29:03] * Becky remembered something about tattoos...An orb? Some other stuff..
[2009-11-29 01:29:24] <Len> "Careful, one of those white maiden spirits made it in here. Even though she was dead when we found her.." Len mentions while setting Miranda down on the Shrine's floor
[2009-11-29 01:29:39] <Narrator> 4 At the shrine, they could see the memory orbs where still there...all except one.
[2009-11-29 01:29:56] * Becky blinked, "You don't think.."
[2009-11-29 01:30:06] * Becky looked to Len
[2009-11-29 01:30:12] * Miranda started to snap out of it. "Huh...the shrine..."
[2009-11-29 01:30:38] <Len> "..Did you delete Vincent some how..?" Len looks at Becky
[2009-11-29 01:31:52] <Becky> "I...May have." she looked to the absence for awhile, "No answers as always...can I get some kind of power here, like the others?"
[2009-11-29 01:33:41] <Len> "Oh yeah, those powers. Maybe I can copy what Vincent did before, hand me a knife." Len says while she walks up the altar
[2009-11-29 01:34:51] <Becky> "...Yeah.." Becky hands Len the knife she used to kill Vincent
[2009-11-29 01:35:09] <Narrator> 3 "To be honest, I'm not sure where we are. I just know that this place has this...mist everywhere." Isabella gave Marie an answer, "It is a hinderance as much as it can be useful. But more than that, it also prevents us from leading normal lives..."
[2009-11-29 01:36:23] * Marie ruffles Meredith's hair with a sigh.  "You can say that again..."
[2009-11-29 01:36:41] * Len nods and wipes the blood off on her apron, she looks around on the altar for some clue on how to do this. Maybe Vincent left those papers here?
[2009-11-29 01:37:42] <Becky> "Dragon skin...I want that." she nodded
[2009-11-29 01:37:54] <Narrator> 12 A hand reaches forward and taps Canis' shoulder.
[2009-11-29 01:38:51] <Narrator> 4 The ability papers were still present on the altar and some notes on how the abilities worked. It was a shame Vincent had died however, as he had promised more...
[2009-11-29 01:39:45] <Meredith> "Marie, how come you're here?"
[2009-11-29 01:39:59] * Meredith looked up in realization at the maid.
[2009-11-29 01:40:04] * Len takes the the notes and reads them, "Ah, take off your shirt and turn around"
[2009-11-29 01:40:25] * Canis 's silent muttering froze complete and her body went rigid for just a long second or two before her eyes skittered around wildly, trying to see what was there without moving, but she didn't /want/ to see! She kicked her feet to hop to the opposite side from the tap and kicked off running at the best speed she could muster.
[2009-11-29 01:41:13] * Becky took it off, and turned her back to Len,
[2009-11-29 01:41:21] <Becky> "It's freezing out here..."
[2009-11-29 01:43:02] * Len reads the Dragon skin notes and copies what Vincent did before. She traces the symbol onto Becky's back lightly with the knife. After she finished she backed up slightly. "It's going to hurt a lot in a sec."
[2009-11-29 01:43:03] * Canis stepped on something pretty familiar and wheeled about, slipping in a circle and grabbing her knife from the ground, before dashing away erratically. She, eventually, 7crashed into the shrine and 7took shelter in it. "--!"
[2009-11-29 01:44:27] * Becky winced, "I'll...!!" Becky covered up her bust, seeing Canis come in, "Geez!"
[2009-11-29 01:44:32] <Becky> "Surprised to see you..."
[2009-11-29 01:45:27] <Len> "Did you see where the others went?" Len sets the knife onto the altar
[2009-11-29 01:46:13] * Canis froze just as rigidly as she had before. She bit her tongue, then tried to pull down her poker face, posture lazy but trying to be tall. "Should I leave? Didn't see anything."
[2009-11-29 01:46:16] <Marie> "Oh...  Well, I agreed to be with Isabella 'when the time comes...'  Would that be now, Bell?"  She says, looking up towards her.
[2009-11-29 01:46:20] * Becky rocks a bit, having trouble speaking at the moment, it feels like her back is on fire... "It's...Fine.."
[2009-11-29 01:47:24] <Becky> "Canis, uhh...We're in a bit of a pinch."
[2009-11-29 01:47:28] <Narrator> 3 "Well, I suppose it would indeed." Isabella informed them, "As you can see, there are no spirits in this mansion...for the simple reason that no one has ever lived or died here."
[2009-11-29 01:48:29] * Canis slipped in with just that, staying at a touch of a distance as she listened and replaced her two knives. "I can tell."
[2009-11-29 01:49:18] * Meredith shivered. "Somehow this sounds even worse than Vincent's... How did you get in here?"
[2009-11-29 01:49:19] * Becky rewound her whip and slipped her bra and top back on, "We wanna pick a direction? This is our last ditch effort out of the mist."
[2009-11-29 01:50:14] * Len leans against the altar and yawns. "Mhm, you might as well join us. There's not much left in that dump"
[2009-11-29 01:50:37] <Marie> "Why would someone build a house and never even use it, I wonder...?"
[2009-11-29 01:50:54] <Narrator> 3 "There are actually a lot of empty buildings here...this world is not just confined to your previous mansion and that convenience store down the street." Isabella smiled.
[2009-11-29 01:52:07] * Canis 's heart was still pounding, but calming. "To survive? Yeah, may as well. What are you doing here, to a topless Red?"
[2009-11-29 01:52:48] <Becky> "Getting a tattoo." she stated simply, peeking out of the shrine
[2009-11-29 01:53:05] <Becky> "Which way do you think we should go?"
[2009-11-29 01:53:30] <Marie> "So...  This probably isn't the world I would believe I came from, is it?"  She says with a heavy sigh.
[2009-11-29 01:53:31] * Len picks up the knife and waves it at Canis. "Want one? It's pretty useful"
[2009-11-29 01:54:02] <Len> "Towards the convenience store."
[2009-11-29 01:54:17] <Becky> "May as well, pick up some supplies."
[2009-11-29 01:54:19] <Narrator> 3 "...there is someone here who seems to have all the answers." Isabella told them.
[2009-11-29 01:54:45] <Meredith> "I'm almost afraid to hear the answer..."
[2009-11-29 01:54:53] <Meredith> "Who is it?"
[2009-11-29 01:56:22] <Becky> "We ready?"
[2009-11-29 01:56:22] <Canis> "I have one, but if you don't want it. I don't know where to go. Not into...out there." Canis shook her head. "But, I'll join up."
[2009-11-29 01:56:47] <Becky> "Someone carry Miranda, we're heading for the convenience store."
[2009-11-29 01:57:06] <Miranda> "I-I think I can walk on my own...but we better tell the master we're leaving!"
[2009-11-29 01:57:19] <Narrator> "*sigh* You'll most likely be annoyed to hear it, but he, myself and my father all came here with our maids long ago...he is my granfather..." she sighed, "Nearly the entire Leblanc line...how amusing..."
[2009-11-29 01:57:24] <Narrator> 3 []
[2009-11-29 01:57:31] * Len stared at Miranda and sighs. "He's dead"
[2009-11-29 01:57:40] * Becky shushed Miranda
[2009-11-29 01:57:44] <Becky> LEn*
[2009-11-29 01:57:57] <Becky> "I'll send him a postcard!"
[2009-11-29 01:58:09] * Miranda chuckles a bit. "Oh Miss Len~ You're always full of jokes."
[2009-11-29 01:58:17] <Becky> "He ordered us to find a way out of the mist, remember hun? Let's hurry now ok?"
[2009-11-29 01:58:26] <Miranda> "D-Do you think that'll be alright?...I suppose if that's what he said."
[2009-11-29 01:58:42] <Canis> "But...if it'd help to survive, then do it to me, too, Len," Canis said, standing again and stepping forward.
[2009-11-29 01:59:09] * Len lays out the papers in front of Canis. "Which one do you want?"
[2009-11-29 01:59:22] <Becky> "Mhm, definitely. I'm his head maid after all. He gave me this mission and I only picked my favorite from the flock to come with~"
[2009-11-29 02:00:15] <Meredith> "Well... I don't owe your grandfather."
[2009-11-29 02:00:49] <Len> "Oh Becky, you always know what to say." Len remarks sarcastically
[2009-11-29 02:00:57] <Marie> "Only three...?  That's...  A bit unusual isn't it...  Mistress?"
[2009-11-29 02:01:21] * Becky looked out at the mist, "I'm trying Len."
[2009-11-29 02:06:16] <Narrator> 3 "...it certainly is." Isabella looked somewhat bitter as she said so. "Well anyways, welcome to my mansion you two." she gave them a smile and snapped her fingers, the lights turned on.
[2009-11-29 02:07:33] <Meredith> "Yeah... Out of one mansion, and into another."
[2009-11-29 02:07:40] * Becky started to board up the shrine with some of the materials inside, "We'll head out in the morning...For the convenience store."
[2009-11-29 02:07:45] * Meredith almost giggled.
[2009-11-29 02:08:50] <Marie> "I...  Didn't mean to offend."  She bows slightly.  "But, I'm glad to be here, nonetheless."
[2009-11-29 02:09:06] * Len nods and sighs as she puts the knife down. "It's better this way."
[2009-11-29 02:10:16] * Becky sat down near Miranda, wrapping an arm around her, "Just try to get some rest, ok?"
[2009-11-29 02:11:11] <Miranda> "Alright, Miss Becky~ I hope the master is OK with everyone gone...hopefully he doesn't get too lonely~" she says, laying down.
[2009-11-29 02:12:12] <Becky> "He'll be just fine, he's sick and needs his rest too after all." Becky provides a makeshift pillow for Miranda out of her apron before nodding over to Len and Canis, "Good night."
[2009-11-29 02:12:29] <Miranda> "Night~"
[2009-11-29 02:13:09] <Canis> "The morning, right. I won't kill you in your sleep, at least, Red. See you then."
[2009-11-29 02:13:31] <Narrator> 3 "I'm glad you are here. As from now on, whenever a maid appears infront of Vincent's...I'll just whisk them over here."
[2009-11-29 02:13:43] <Becky> "I appreciate it Canis. We need all the help we can get to get throught the mist."
[2009-11-29 02:13:53] * Len sits down and leans against the altar. "That sure is reassuring." she says as she closes her eyes.
[2009-11-29 02:14:25] <Meredith> "I hope the other maids return..."
[2009-11-29 02:15:41] <Marie> "Um...  Would you care to direct us to our rooms, mistress?  It's been...  Quite an exciting day..."
[2009-11-29 02:16:10] <Meredith> "I'm tired." She nodded at Marie.
[2009-11-29 02:18:42] <Narrator> 3 "Of course, anything for my new maid and head maid." she pulled out a special dead dress for Marie and handed it to her, "I've also taken the liberty of bringing over...any leftovers from that mansion, who may have sleeped through the events..."
[2009-11-29 02:19:22] <Vincent> *head dress
[2009-11-29 02:21:01] * Canis stepped over across the two, looking down at them as she moved to stand in the doorway, looking out around.
[2009-11-29 02:21:46] * Marie switches out the old head dress for the new one.  "That's good, I suppose..."  She still feels a bit uncomfortable with Canis not getting brought along...
[2009-11-29 02:23:14] <Meredith> "Will... Will the others return then?"
[2009-11-29 02:24:02] <Narrator> 3 "Maybe...but you know exactly how they will be when they do don't you?"
[2009-11-29 02:24:32] <Marie> "...No memories..."
[2009-11-29 02:24:35] * Meredith bit her lip and nodded.
[2009-11-29 02:24:51] <Meredith> "I think that'd be for the best for some..."
[2009-11-29 02:26:18] <Narrator> 12 Outside, Canis spotted the familiar green eyes staring at her from nearby in a shadow.
[2009-11-29 02:27:46] * Marie sighs.  "So...  The rooms?"
[2009-11-29 02:28:45] <Narrator> 3 "Oh sorry." Isabella showed Marie and Meredith around the mansion...it was quite a bit bigger than Vincent's and better furnished though it was not surprisingly, much more dusty from general disuse.

[2009-11-29 02:29:43] * Canis felt a little more brave so near the shrine, and took a step out, leaning forward with a hand on the edge of the doorframe, watching back.
[2009-11-29 02:30:31] <Marie> "I...  Don't expect the sleeping arrangements for the head maid will be the same as they once were in Vincent's."  She says with a slightly raised eyebrow.
[2009-11-29 02:31:06] * Meredith walked about, not showing her usual amount of energy. "Becky always slept with the Master."
[2009-11-29 02:31:12] <Narrator> 12 "...they killed him..." 'Dusty' muttered, her arms were wrapped around herself and she looked like she was freezing as always, though it seemed to be worse outside in the mist, why had she bothered to come all this way?

[2009-11-29 02:33:59] <Narrator> 3 "I'm afraid not Marie." Bell smiled at the suggestion, "Tomorrow we'll decide what to do around this mansion..." she muttered, "I don't really care much about what happens to your friends and particularly Becky, but if they do arrive here. I will not refuse them at the very least."
[2009-11-29 02:34:50] <Meredith> "...Because they won't be the same?"
[2009-11-29 02:35:10] * Canis stepped forward towards her, two arms' lengths away. "They did."
[2009-11-29 02:35:44] <Narrator> 12 "...horrible." 'Dusty' looked off to the side, seemingly unhappy.
[2009-11-29 02:36:04] * Marie nods slowly.  "I thought you said you knew Canis before..."
[2009-11-29 02:39:02] <Narrator> 3 "She was a different Canis back then."
[2009-11-29 02:40:20] <Marie> "I see..."  She sighs a little and stretches.  "I guess I'll be heading to bed, then."
[2009-11-29 02:41:21] <Canis> "Is it? Her thrashes to survive were too much. Maybe it was."
[2009-11-29 02:42:16] * Meredith walked off to her room. "I'm tired..."
[2009-11-29 02:43:54] <Narrator> 3 "Get some rest, the both of you." Isabella smiled cryptically, her earlier flusterment from Vincent's death not fixing anything subsiding, there were still other things she could do..."Tomorrow we'll figure out what to do about the other sleeping maids I've brought here..." of course...that included Midori...
[2009-11-29 02:44:45] <Meredith> "Yeah... Tomorrow..."
[2009-11-29 02:45:41] * Marie nods.  "Sleep well then, mistress."
[2009-11-29 02:47:09] <Narrator> 12 "...we'll never leave..." 'Dusty' stated somberly after a few moments of silence.
[2009-11-29 02:48:35] <Canis> "You'n the others, or you, me, and them?" Canis asked, tilting her chin to the side to indicate the shrine's occupants.
[2009-11-29 02:49:04] =-= Vincent is now known as Isabella
[2009-11-29 02:50:18] <Narrator> 12 "....everyone."
[2009-11-29 02:51:53] <Narrator> 3 "Goodnight." Isabella smirked and went back to her room on foot.
[2009-11-29 02:52:26] * Meredith sighed and once she entered her room she undressed out of her uniform. As she crawled into bed, she could only stare grimly into the darkness. The thoughts trapping her mind in place kept sleep far out of her reach.
[2009-11-29 02:53:50] * Marie drifted off to her room and shook off the pillow and sheets to get rid of the dust, shirking her uniform and crawling into the bed.  Although it took her some time, she at last managed to fall into sleep.
[2009-11-29 02:54:49] * Canis looked confused, then sharpened to concerned. "What do you mean?" Her bangs only partially concealed her expression now.
[2009-11-29 02:55:17] <Narrator> 12 "...take me with you."
[2009-11-29 02:58:34] <Canis> "...I can't protect you," Canis challenged with a verbal shrug, referring to from the two inside the shrine, asking if the girl would want it even then.
[2009-11-29 03:01:27] <Narrator> 12 'Dusty' shook her head, "I want those two...to burn...and to protect...you..." she muttered and extended a hand shakily towards Canis. Even then Canis could see the tips of 'Dusty's' fingers brimming with heat...
[2009-11-29 03:08:13] <Canis> "You'd protect me? I didn't ...ask for it," Canis said, entirely alien to the meaning part of the statement. "Why? Those two are strong. They want to survive, if it's only that..."
[2009-11-29 03:10:04] <Narrator> 12 "...I want...revenge for...Vincent..." Dusty muttered, still holding out her hand to Canis. "...please..." she pleaded.
[2009-11-29 03:11:05] * Meredith finally couldn't take anymore of it. She couldn't sleep. Meredith rolled out of bed and left her room... she looked around for the mistr- for Isabella's room.
[2009-11-29 03:14:39] <Narrator> 3 Isabella's room wasn't very hard to spot, infront of it lay a stack of books that easily reached Meredith's waist. Inside the room she could hear Isabella's voice "Argh, not here...not here either..."
[2009-11-29 03:16:26] * Meredith looked over the title of the top of the first book, then quietly knocked on the door.
[2009-11-29 03:18:46] <Narrator> 3 "Huh? Oh the door is open, do come in." her furious page flipping stopped for a moment before resuming. Despite her calm exterior when they first met, Isabella seemed to be a rather impatient person overall...
[2009-11-29 03:19:48] * Meredith slowly slid into the room and watched Isabella. "Hi. Umm, what are you looking for?"
[2009-11-29 03:22:31] <Canis> "Why...do you want to do it? What was Vincent to you?" Canis felt around for the pictures in her uniform. "Maybe when this was...?" she wondered, idly.
[2009-11-29 03:23:21] <Narrator> 3 "...information. I'm looking through some of the logs that Vincent kept. But I sincerely doubt he knew much more than I did...that fool." she sighed lightly, "Oh, what brings you hear dear Meredith?" she resumed her usually calm demeanor and spoke, "Having trouble sleeping?"
[2009-11-29 03:26:39] * Meredith nodded at Isabelle... "I can't... It scares me." The maid moved to take a seat anywhere. "If the Master really isn't coming back... What about us? Why do we?"
[2009-11-29 03:26:46] <Meredith> Isabella*
[2009-11-29 03:27:30] <Narrator> 2 'Dusty' reacts to the pictures by staring and then looking back at Canis. "...why do you ask so much...? I just want...to..." Dusty's hand began to grow a darker shade of color, black as soot and began crackling...her shivering intensified. "...accept...or refuse..."

[2009-11-29 03:31:34] <Vincent> 3 "Maybe you maids are something entirely different?" Bell suggested, "...it's a lot to think about really, so many questions and so little I can tell you for sure right now. Well, I could grace you with some ideas but...I'm beginning to wonder myself, reading his notes."
[2009-11-29 03:33:29] <Meredith> "Mhm... I guess we will have to ask your grandpa anyway. Do you like him?"
[2009-11-29 03:34:44] <Vincent> 3 "Not even in the slightest."
[2009-11-29 03:35:32] <Meredith> "Not even your grandpa!" Meredith started to return to her old self. "Was there anybody in your family you liked?"

[2009-11-29 03:36:02] <Canis> "...I don't want more people to get hurt," Canis said, even as she was realizing how wishy-washy and weak that was. She took one step forward. "If I accept you, do I gotta accept your revenge, too?"
[2009-11-29 03:37:58] <Vincent> 12 "...I just want...to have my chance someday..." Dusty answered.
[2009-11-29 03:42:56] <Vincent> 3 "...there was, but I'm not very comfortable talking about it." Bell turned back to her current book and leafed through it rapidly, it looked like that one wasn't very informative. "Why exactly did he chronicle the kinds of meals he had!?"
[2009-11-29 03:44:07] <Meredith> "That... Woulda been useful a few hours ago."
[2009-11-29 03:44:27] * Meredith remembered Vincent mentioning something about the soup.
[2009-11-29 03:46:23] <Canis> "I might stop you or help you, can't make that promise," Canis said, putting out her hand a little. "We'll see," She finished, implying that she'd try and at least see the girl through to the day she'd decide. She put out her hand further.
[2009-11-29 03:48:01] <Vincent> 3"Well, not very useful to us unfortunately." Bell sighed and tossed the book aside, "You should try and get some sleep, perhaps go see Marie?"
[2009-11-29 03:49:13] <Meredith> "Oh... Right. Good luck, Isabella." Yawning, Meredith walked out of her room and looked about... She still felt tired. What was Marie doing? Sleeping?
[2009-11-29 03:49:28] * Meredith curiously looked about for Marie's room...
[2009-11-29 03:50:05] * Marie Marie was indeed sleeping...  Though, she wasn't actually wearing clothes while doing so...
[2009-11-29 03:50:23] * Meredith blinked. "How'd she get clothes?"
[2009-11-29 03:50:46] * Meredith looked around for a magic armoire...
[2009-11-29 03:51:47] <Vincent> 12 "Fia...is my name..." she extended her own hand and grabbed Canis', her hand was hot like touching raw burning metal and Canis' skin started to actually peel from the rapid 3rd degree burns she was receiving! "...I'll help...till that day..."
[2009-11-29 03:53:59] * Marie stirred a little...  She rolled around and rose up slightly, the covers slipping dangerously close to indecency...  "Huhnh...?  Who...?"
[2009-11-29 03:54:27] * Meredith stared in alarm. "Ah, sorry to wake you!"
[2009-11-29 03:55:45] * Canis yelped and tried to pull her hand back with wide eyes that were rapidly watering and blurring with tears. "Haahh...Okay, un...til then."
[2009-11-29 03:55:51] * Marie blinks a few times, a grin and blush simultaneously coming into existence as she starts to gain a bit more awareness.  "Don't worry about it."
[2009-11-29 03:56:25] <Meredith> "Okay... Um...."
[2009-11-29 03:57:04] <Meredith> "How can you sleep after all that?"
[2009-11-29 03:58:58] <Vincent> 12 Canis saw Fia move closer to her and then...and then fade away as soon as she can within proximity, her heat dying down significantly as she faded. When she had dissapeared, Canis' injury dissipated as well...Canis felt strangely much more warm now...
[2009-11-29 03:59:56] * Marie frowns a little, scratching her head.  "I got tired enough that I couldn't keep worrying myself awake..."  ...  There went the covers...
[2009-11-29 04:01:34] * Meredith coughed in reaction to this development as she hid further behind the door frame. "I guess I'm not that tired..."
[2009-11-29 04:03:10] <Marie> "Well...  If there's anything I could do to help you get some sleep..."
[2009-11-29 04:04:58] * Meredith shook her head, "I don't know. What do you do to get tired?"
[2009-11-29 04:07:41] * Marie smirks a little.  "I could think of a few things, but you should probably just try making yourself some tea."
[2009-11-29 04:08:35] <Meredith> "Good idea... Umm, would you like some tea too?"
[2009-11-29 04:10:32] * Marie shakes her head.  "I'm afraid not."  She yawns and stretches a little.  "I suppose if you think of something else you might need me for you can wake me again..."
[2009-11-29 04:10:51] * Canis held her hand to her chest, trying to blink out the tears and lingering retreat of the pain while she figured out what happened. After she'd calmed down, she smiled a little, holding that hand more flatly against her chest, giving her approximation of a smile, that looked more like acceptance. 'Heh. I'll give you a hand up until then.'
[2009-11-29 04:14:49] <Meredith> "Okay, thank you!" She turned away toward the kitchen. "Umm... you have a nice body, no wonder you show it off!" With that compliment, Meredith left to boil some tea for herself. This was a very relaxing few minutes of watching water boil. And after pouring the tea... In fact, she felt so tired she could...
[2009-11-29 04:15:16] * Meredith fell asleep on the countertop, her teacup untouched and the kettle still on the stove.
[2009-11-29 04:15:39] * Marie smiled quite happily at the compliment and fell back asleep in her bed.
[2009-11-29 04:19:59] * Canis stepped over to the shrine, leaning on it with her other hand and flexing the hand he's held up. She felt warm, not quite feverish, before standing up straight and walking in. She looked over the others and over the tattoos. She had a little more drive to survive now... She'd think about revenge tomorrow...
[2009-11-29 04:20:08] * Canis yawned and picked a corner to sit against, pulling her knees up and leaning back to doze. She didn't need a blanket or covering, despite her skirt. She was warm enough.
[2009-11-29 04:21:30] <Vincent> 7 And so...the end of Vincent Leblanc was brought about...the maids now faced new challenges up ahead...why had this happened? Was it really all caused by Becky?...well, with that one story ended and a new began...with new horrors awaiting the maids now...
[2009-11-29 04:22:42] <Vincent> 7 Back at the mansion...Vincent's body had dissapeared and a second of the gems vanished in the shrine...the children looked down at the shrine from a window in the mansion. They smiled widely.
[2009-11-29 04:23:04] <Vincent> 7 Mansion of Rebirth: Chapter 7 End
