"I don't like closed doors."117-Female | Wolf | Homeless | Unknown-None | tags; rose────────────────────────────────────xxxxxxxxshe glanced up at the horse before looking back at rose as she explained her current situation with her house...and storage. she hardly even knew the difference between the two buildings...the house could be a much bigger storage for...for whatever she stored in there. she would be genuinely surprised to find out that it was something dark and mysterious. but it could be something boring and wouldn't be much use to her.
she looked over at the cottage-like building, staring at it for a good minute, heavily judging it once again. "I'm surprised it's still standing...I haven't seen a building like that in years," the she-wolf turned her head back at rose, "do you know what year it was build in?...because i know that you have better taste than that." hey, it was a bit rude, but the truth hurts, doesn't it?
but hey, look at her having a...somewhat...normal conversation with her fiend- er...friend. Why was this? Maybe the offer of something to eat was the cause of her change of tune...for now. but from now on, it was time to play along as good little puppy...and figure out a plan to pull the wool over both of their eyes. she absolutely hated planning, but she kinda didn't know what she was dealing with. she knew she was dealing with a horse and a human. who knows? maybe in the meantime she could open up a little to rose, get her to trust the wolf.
she didn't say that it would work- but it was a bit of a possibility.
And there was also the possibility of a price- or a deal in this case...however, the deal was more of a threat. rose's body language said it all if the threat didn't come clear to her the first time. she was very familiar with.
It didn't take too long for her to respond to rose's threat, "alright miss rose, you have yourself a little deal- i will not bring harm to you or your guard..." she paused and looked up at the horse. was she really going to call this thing a dog? "...dog." everest sat down, turning her attention back to rose, straightening up her back to appear taller. what? sure, she was a murderous creature of the night (and day), but at least she remembered to keep good posture so she didn't end up with back problems. (yet she still had them. she's fine. she will live).
when the topic of food presented itself again, she turned her head a little, thinking on what she could possibly want. although cooked food seemed ideal- but she was sure that rose wanted to return to her knight as soon as she left. she couldn't blame her. who would even leave their steed alone with a horse?
"i will be fine with either or, i'm not much a picky eater like i was before," she wasn't very picky actually, she just didn't want to eat whatever was offered to her. one time one of the kids offered her some kind of pudding that had meat chunks in it. someone was repulsed by it as so was she. it was horrendous. "...but whatever is easier and quicker for you."
being nice was absolutely killing her. she wondered how long she could pull off this façade. but as for now, she knew that the horse had to go down first. the thing to figure out was how to bring the horse down all by herself...
only time will tell.

acilier R. 𝔏ysandre- "This has to be the work of Satan"29-Male | Vampire | Butler | hetero-None | tags; rainer─────────────────────────────────────xxxxxxxxhe was getting nowhere with this. he would probably just spend his whole morning wiping down the windows. he should've done this at night or just pass it down to someone who wasn't directly affected by the sun. in other words, maybe a little sun will do good for his skin- it totally didn't feel like someone just dragged him through the flaming pits of hell and back.
not saying that a sea of blue flames and lava would be neat to see- just terrifying and dangerous.
heck, he might just as well meet some family there.
when he took a step away from the window, turning away so he could unroll his sleeve. he would do it in the bathroom in front of the mirror- but there is a little problem when it comes to being a vampire: you have no reflection. contacts prove very useful when you lose your glasses. just pray that you don't poke your eye out or completely miss it. it sounds like a fun time until you lose or break the contact, then all you could do is give up at that point. no point in looking for a new one or replacing it.
okay- we're getting way off topic here.
facilier looked at his arm and rolled his sleeve back down, rubbing at it before heading out of the current room that he was in. it looks like it was another trip to the kitchen for the...fifth time? no. that's not right. at least the third or fourth. and what reason was he needed in there? maybe to return a glass or something, he just found a couple in the room that he was in. who was on dish duty today? but then again, why would it matter, maybe they had forgotten. it happens. it wasn't like he was going to lash out on them. no. that's not what he does. nope.
when he got to the kitchen, he glanced around to see that strange duo that was in here before had departed- and now replacing them was one of the guests and one of the maids...to be fair, he wasn't good with names so he didn't bother to interrupt their...show. instead he placed and cleaned the cups, placing them on the drying rack, soon to then move out of the kitchen, where he had to take a step back as his migraine decided now was the time to come back and smack him in the face. yay.
he closed his eyes and opened as he bumped into one of the other butlers...rainer, as he believed that other butler was called. he jolted back and raised his hands a little, "pardon, I didn't see you there." of course, that came off a little blunt, but hey, he couldn't help it. he wasn't really in the mood to fix his tone.

"Ding-dong~ Wanna play with me?"11-Male | Human | Unknown | Ace-None | tags; Fran | ──────────────────────────────────────xxxxxxxxwhen given the okay from fran to start, he reached for his deck to pick a card up and place it in the middle, face up. it was a four of hearts. he smiled a little and looked up at fran, letting her know that it was her turn to flip a card over. as he waited, he tried to think of something else to say so this game could go by a little faster. "I don't know where the kings are- I swore that I had them in the deck. nightshade probably took them out...or papa did, i don't know." he mumbled as he looked over towards his bookbag. he should probably check the desk to see if they were there. besides, how hard can it be to find four cards of different suits in a small room?
maybe he should check in the closet too. just in case.
"have you lost anything before?" he asked as he sat back, looking down at his card that he pulled.

*Aggressive Clicking Noises* "Lookie here- how queer-.."13-Female | Ghost Bat | Manor Animal | Unknown-None | tags;The Hopeless Gays────────────────────────────────────────────xxxxxxxxxxxxshe kept her gaze on lemarc, waiting for a reaction or a reply of some sort. but when she got none, she just simply looked down at the floor, her ears pinned back, a little disappointed- even though he didn't say anything, the disapproval was pretty clear. (or disappointment. one of those two. she wasn't the best at reading emotions- okay?). however, she perked up just a bit when lark said that they had the time to solve a riddle. what a good boy- maybe she could treat him with one of his stolen borrowed pens after this. stellaluna looked up at lemarc and then back at lark when given the a-ok to share a riddle.
right.
maybe she should've taken the time to think up a riddle rather than just staring at the reoccurring guest. but, she didn't have to think for too long as she shifted around, making sure that she could open the little watch's door with ease after they had solved her riddle. she had figured how the watch worked- almost. you would assume that fifty-seven riddles in, she would know how it would work? maybe you had forgotten about her fantastic memory.
stellaluna looked up at the two. what was now this feeling? it was almost like stage fright. why was this so? she never had felt like this when she shared riddles with larkin. her ears pinned back again as she decided to distract herself by opening the door of the watch, staring at the face.

the same question always remained the same: what would happen if it reached the end? she looked up at lemarc and then over at lark. maybe one of the two would know. if not, then she'll find out from someone. someday. somehow. she shook her head and snapped the door shut. time was ticking. she was wasting time and she painfully knew it. even though she was incapable of knowing time management, she knew that time given to her by someone like her pet was very important- and she was wasting it. stellaluna gave an apologetic look at lark. lemarc would also get one- but he wasn't the one who gave her the time to share a riddle, now was he? no.
so instead of wasting even more time, she got on with it. she cleared her tiny throat and looked up at the two:
xxxxxxxx
"It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter."
after she spoke, she instantly flipped open the door and looked up at the two. and then back down at the face. she loved to watch as the counter went down when the riddle was solved correctly. did she herself know the answer? no she did not. not right off the bat at least. she would know if it was solved correctly- but if solved incorrectly, nothing would move and she would take even more time away from the two to figure out the answer. or, she could take up this time now, waiting for the two to figure it out. it was an odd riddle, even for herself, but she'll get the answer eventually.
disclaimer; the riddle is from Tolkien's The Hobbit; the answer: darkness
