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

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

While watching the battle, Felixter and the others hear stomping in the distance, and turn to see a large wooden figure making its way through the forest in a rather destructive manner. All of them blink in surprise. "W...what is that?" Kayori asks. "You think the witches or the Master are behind that...?" Ammi frowns. "Regardless, if it gets too close, I'll turn the whole thing to ash..." "It doesn't seem like something they'd do...let us just monitor it from the side. The real focus of things is below us." Felixter shakes his head in response. Meanwhile, as the group is distracted, a small, fast orange snake slithers its way up the stairs and past their feet... Noruani continues trying to push against Morgan's torrent of shadows with all of her might, but it seems that once again, the most knowledgeable witch of the group is overpowered by the limits of her smaller body. It always happened that way for Noruani. While her sisters could actually strike someone on their own without magic, Noruani found herself unable to do so, because of her size and stature. At the moment, though, it seemed Noruani wasn't frustrated with that. In fact, as she started giving up and letting the shadows overtake her, she was giggling with glee. "Meora-chan....terminate..." Noruani whispered with a sly grin before she stopped pushing back the shadows with her magic completely. On the battlefield, Meora's ears perked up at the command, and she found herself trembling again as she fought for control over herself. She was still standing rigidly still in the same place, but now, the hand holding her pistol was slowly raising on it's own, and pressing the weapon up to her temple. In desperation, she struggled against that one finger on the trigger, the only thing standing between life and death for her now. Natasha glares at Joe after hearing his response to her proposition. She sighs, rolling her eyes. "These people...why, oh why do they always choose the harder route? Fine. It matters not, I suppose. In the end, the Master will always get what he desires...no simple little mutts like yourselves will ever get in the way of someone as powerful as he." Natasha smirks, shapeshifting into a large demon beast with shiny dark green skin, huge teeth and claws, and larger wings. Her horns become larger, but her witch hat still remains on her head. She dodges most of the oncoming fire and ice bolts, but the ones that hit seem to matter less to her now. She surrounds herself in violent green magic, turns around, and starts flying towards the edge of the battlefield, where one certain person still sits. "FOR SUCH INSOLENCE, THE INNOCENT SHALL PAY!" Natasha roars with outstretched claws. Mirui turns around to see a dark green monster heading straight for her, and starts to scream. "MIRUI!" Kiroketsu shouts with horror where he lies on the battlefield, having just put himself back together. He gets up in a hurry with his guitar in his claws, and goes as fast as he can. He arrives just in time to land a perfect shot, connecting his guitar successfully with the witch at last, and hitting her a few feet away. "YEAH!" Kiroketsu fist-pumps with a huge grin of satisfaction. Mirui is still shaking, but she lets out a large sigh of relief. "IT TAKES MUCH MORE THAN A GUITAR TO TAKE ME DOWN, BOY..." Natasha snarls, getting back up and facing Kiroketsu. "BRING IT, UGLY HAG!" Kiroketsu hisses back. Natasha lets out a demon screech of fury and zooms at the spirit guardian. He holds her claws at bay by blocking them with his guitar (which is surprisingly not scratched by any of this, let alone broken), while extending out his tongue and wrapping it around her neck to try and choke her. His face turns a bit green, and not just because of the witch's magic. "UGH...tastes....horrible...!" Kiroketsu chokes out. Nymne is about to say something else to her sister, when she hears someone behind them all of a sudden. Nymne turns to see Lucas standing there, and for a moment, contemplates whether or not she should dispose of the witness. Would he really do anything? And if he did...would it matter much? "It is none of your concern, boy. Nothing is wrong here. I am just having a rather important chat with my little sister." Nymne replies to Lucas with a complacent smile. Nelodine doesn't say anything, but doesn't give off the impression that she's really in trouble either. "I'm sure Queen Shadowelle would LOVE to have you down for a party!" Amber grins happily. "Yeah! We're the queen's favorites, so any friend of ours is a friend of hers for certain!" Clancy nods in agreement. "Well, I-" Nimika starts, but stops as soon as she sees Karl being attacked. Of course, she doesn't do anything to stop this at all, as it looks as if he deserved it. Nimika simply turns her attention back to the demon, walking along with his and listening to what he has to say. "Them?" Nimika glances back at Amber and Clancy, then turns back to the guide demon. "Friends? No. They just followed me here...but, really, I've had experience with those two. They're on the same level as Karl here seems to be." She explains, then nods at his explanation of the council. She grins. "Well, the real power comes from my commander, the Master, as he's called. However, as his top worker and representative, I'm sure I can do just fine with impressing the council..." Back where Amber and Clancy are, they turn to the next person to address them, and grin. "Oh, yeah, we followed you~!" Amber admits with a hum. "It seemed like a fun adventure to go on!" Clancy adds enthusiastically. Both of the shadows then notice Karl and start laughing again. "It's so good to know that there are such cool people till out there~!" Both of the shadows say simultaneously.

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

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

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

Numirra is shocked (almost quite literally) by how quick and strategic Morgan's comeback to her attack is, though the witch's expression still doesn't lose its bored feel. She lets go of Morgan, trying to harness the doubly-powerful electricity strike and recycle it a 2nd time, though in the process, her hair does end up a bit frizzed. "How troublesome...I wish I could just go back home and eat some pudding or something..." Numirra yawns, tossing the remaining electricity harnessed from Morgan's attack off-handedly at a Kyru or two before turning towards the magic stairs leading up to the hotel's entrance. "But...we came here for her, so I guess we should at least try to find her before we leave, eh?" The anti-magic shields casted on everyone seems to bring Meora to a halt in the middle of the battle. With this boost, Meora fights to tear her mind away from the sinister little demon witch's claws, but even still, she's having much difficulty. "Oh, Meora-chan, how silly..." Noruani giggles. "It's not that easy to defy my power. I've got my father's abilities in me. I-" The little witch doesn't get to finish her prideful little monologue before she sees Morgan coming at her with a torrent of shadows. Trapped inside, Noruani scowls, and the red rings in her eyes glow a more intense red. She summons up her own magic power from the pit of her soul, enveloping herself with it and trying to rip through the shadows completely. Upon finally managing to get the guitar back out of his throat, Kiroketsu takes it in his claws and gets back up onto his feet. He spots Mirui on the ground and quickly goes over to help her. "Mirui? AY, Mirui, look at me! It's gonna be alright!" He tries to assure her, but his words fall upon deaf ears. The girl is still hopelessly locked inside of her own worst fear in the form of a curse-induced nightmare. Joe's anti-curse spells snap her out of it somewhat, and she finally blinks again, crawling out of fetal position and looking around. "Eh? Mirui, you okay there? I-WHOA!" Kiroketsu flinches when the monster girl suddenly leaps at him. Instead of clawing him to pieces as everyone else would, however, she's embraced him, wailing. "P-PURPLE KITTY-MAN!" Mirui sobs aloud. "I-I WAS SOOO-OO-OOO SCAAARED!" Kiroketsu pauses for a moment, a blush coming across his face. He hesitantly puts an arm around the girl, while fighting back a grin. 'SCOOORRRRRE! Man, how could you make this moment any better?!' Kiroketsu thinks to himself, and his eyes trail over to Natasha. He gets a determined look in his eyes, and lets go of Mirui to stand back up. She looks up at him in confusion. "Don't worry, big girl." Kiroketsu gives her a thumbs-up. "I'm gonna go make things even! Just you watch!" With that, he races over to where the witch in green stands, planning to swing his guitar hard right into her side. Unfortunately, his choice to sound out a loud war-cry as he's running makes him easily noticeable to the witch, and seconds before he can attack, Natasha whips around with a blade of magic energy, slicing him in half horizontally. "Tch. Idiot." Natasha rolls her eyes, walking away from him and looking at others on the battlefield. She turns to Srg and Joe, since they're the ones healing Sephie's friends with their own spells. She clears her throat for attention. "You know...at the moment, we're only here seeking one thing. If you could just deliver it to us, we'd just as soon be on our merry way~..." Inside of the hotel, the most sought after of the 6 witch sisters is fleeing further up different hallways to get as far away from the entrance and battle outside as possible. The young witch in blue wipes the beginnings of tears away from her eyes while running, and when she finally stops, she's shivering. "T-they're here for me again...it's my fault that they're hurting my friends...again..." Nelodine whimpers quietly to herself in the seemingly empty corridor. "Why can't they leave me alone...?...Why can't I do something about them?!...I'm so pathetic..." "I wouldn't say that." Nelodine jumps, whipping around to see a surprising sight. "N-Nymne?! You....you talk...? Did they teach you?" Nelodine whispers, taking a step back. "I always knew how to talk. I just choose to keep it under a beastly mask, so my sisters are none the wiser. Except for maybe you and...possibly Noruani. She knows everything anyway, does she not?" Nymne chuckles. "Anyhow...I believe you're quite brave. It's not easy defying your sisters as you have. Even if they come back for you...you can fight them off. I might be willing to help you too..." "YAAAAAY, MORE COLORFUL BOMBS OF MAYHEM!" Clancy cries out with joy. "Of course you can come party with us whenever you like! Say, maybe you could even become a shadow like us, if you stayed with us long enough in Shadowland~!" Amber giggles with glee at the thought. The comment makes Nimika shudder slightly. The thought of the already-insane Karl becoming a shadow like Amber and Clancy....why, it's the stuff of nightmares for even the worst of villains. Nimika's thoughts are taken off of the horrific subject when she spots Gerose and a couple others heading in their direction. She grins after hearing the demon creature in the shirt and jeans tell her that he can take her to the council. "That would be lovely, and much appreciated..."

"Seems your friends here are at odds with each other...but this gentleman here is right," Abernathy says to Minako while gesturing towards Ater, "If we're going to go through with this possibly-foolish act of bravery to save Joerose, then we should surely hurry-"
Before Abernathy can finish, another loud roar is heard from down in the basement, this one shaking the walls and floors. Renn ends up clutching onto Ellysa's arm, and Amelia scurries up the stairs of the mansion.
"Y...Yorugiro's angry...!" Renn squeaks.
"Come! We shall fight!" Ellysa raises her sword in her free hand.
"T-there's no way I'm going down there too! Not again!" Renn cries.
Minako watches all of the commotion, biting her lip with slight frustration. She turns to Makoto and Lucas. "You two can fight about this manner if you wish, though there's no point. I'm going on ahead to see if there's a way to calm down this monster, and stop a large battle from even having to-AH!" Another violent tremor in the ground almost bring her to her knees, and right before her, a huge spike made of darkness breaks through the floor, nearly impaling her.
"It's furious. I'm going on ahead." Abernathy states while quickly making his way towards the stairs, catching up with Joerose and Fred. He quickly analyzes the situation, observing Joerose fighting his own friend, and Yorugiro as well. However, Yorugiro hasn't been weakened, only angered even more. The huge monster has absorbed a large amount of the light from Joerose's attacks into his own red glow within his body, and is using it to grow in size and power. His spikes scrape and puncture the walls ad the ceiling above him, and he prepares to lash out at Joerose and Fred with furious, deadly claws. In a hurry, Abernathy rushes to stand in the way of the attack.
"Yoru, please, listen to me! You have to sto-" Abernathy doesn't get to finish before the monster swipes him with his claws, flinging him hard against the darkness-covered walls.
Minako rushes down the stairs after Abernathy, Ellysa by her side as well.
"ABE!" Ellysa gasps at the scene, and brandishes her blade. "Alright, beast! Ready for the second round?!"
Minako stares at the angered Yorugiro for a moment, contemplating a strategy to calm him down. She honestly didn't want to fight the monster, as it looked far too dangerous at this point. However, as she observes, she catches sight of something small and white behind the beast, at the very end of the basement chamber. The figure peeks back at her with big, empty-looking lavender eyes.
"Negloria...?" Minako whispers under her breath. Just as soon as she spots the girl, Negloria ducks behind the monster and vanishes altogether...

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

"W-wait, hold on, he went down there?!" Abernathy is alarmed at the news of Joerose going down to meet with Yorugiro. He pauses, then frowns at everyone else in the group. "You absolutely must not go after him. It is simply too foolish and too dangerous!"
"We can't just leave him and let him fall to the beast, though, can we?" Minako counters. "We all might not know each other so well, but we at least carry the sense to care about others in the same situation as ourselves. We're all here to explore this mansion and find out what happened here, so we have to stay together if we can help it. No one gets willingly left behind."
Abernathy blinks at Minako's short speech, and with a sigh, he tips his hat to the girl. "You really know how to fight for your cause, don't you? Fine. Perhaps, if you truly must, I can go with you. Yorugiro won't attack me."
"Why not?" Minako asks.
"...It's possible you might just find out, depending on the outcome of this." An odd smile lifts the corners of dino-Abernathy's fang-filled mouth.
"Of course we share a strong bond!" Ellysa grins in reply to Makoto.
"What do you mean, 'of course'? We're demon and angel, it's a little strange..." Renn murmurs.
"Ah, those are technical terms! What really matters is what's in the heart of the person! You could be the queen of Hell itself for all I could care, and as long as you weren't horrifically evil, and stayed the way you are now, I'd still be your companion." Ellysa ruffles the demon girl's hair playfully, making Renn blush a bit.
Minako turns to Makoto as he walks closer to her, and listens to his proposition. She nods with a small smile. "Well, considering we've got other teams here already, it looks like, that sounds like a good idea."
However, she turns to listen to what Lucas has to say, and gives him a strange look. "Rich? Well, I know I'm not rich, and last time I checked, our school was pretty good, but not filled with rich people..."
Down in the dark basement of the Lavenshade Mansion lies a sinister beast, patiently awaiting the next victim to fall beneath the floors and into his gaping jaws. Suddenly, from above, he starts to hear his name, as well as the voice of someone coming ever so close to his chamber in the basement.
"YOORRRRUUUUUUU......" The monster, previously asleep, rises onto his claws. If he weren't made completely out of darkness, dangerous glints would have dotted each of the numerous horns and spikes all along his body. He gives out a great, horrifying roar, raising his scorpion-like tail that seems to ooze with a sickly dark purple substance. His eyes and mouth light up with the red light deep within him, illuminating the dark of the basement in a pale red as well...
