P. Lovecraft[/i][/center] [hr] [center][@Kazemitsu][@DruSM157][@sassy1085][/center] It was [b][color=#0077be]Alvin Fennel[/color][/b] that led the unusual trio towards the doors of Wilde Hall, although whether that was by choice, or coincidence, only he could know. Whatever the order, [b][color=f49ac2]Rosanna Liang[/color][/b] made extra care to stay close to her two new companions. The house seemed to loom above them, dwarfing even the formidable frame of [b][color=red]Drachen Steinboden[/color][/b]. Just as Alvin reached the doorway, hand reaching out for the heavy brass handle, the door swung open from within. Alvin managed to keep his balance, but he almost staggered backwards as a figure stepped out from within the house. A few inches taller than Alvin, wiry, sharply dressed, greying hair, the man that stood in the doorway was an intimidating sight, and it took the guests a moment to recognise that the man must be the butler. He surveyed the three of them with barely disguised disdain, looking each of them up and down in turn, before finally breaking the stifling silence. [b]"Invitations. Please."[/b] A gloved hand thrust forwards. Clearly the Wilde Hall was not open to all, and security was surprisingly tight, considering the fact they had already shown their invitations to the coachman. Either way, the stern expression set on the butler's face suggested that arguing was not an option. If nothing else, the warmth and music that spilled out from the half-open door was becoming increasingly enticing.
