((The house is in dull colors. A dark brown, almost black roof, and walls (outside) that is a warm hue of gray. It's a pretty old house and has weeds growing here and there. Some parts of the house have ivy climbing up its walls. The windows are clear, as if they were cleaned. Wood items are usually dark wood, red wood painted over with a dark violet-like color. Oh yes, general. Dull and grim. Looks like it survived from the middle ages. If you want a picture, it looks a bit like this.))
Olivia held on tight to Ignis' lighter. She already lit her candle, which sat firmly on a small cup holder. All the sun's light was nearly gone; all she could see was silhouettes of nearby objects. Beginning from the right side of the stairs she lit the bedrooms with one candle. Sleeping in a room with a broken down door seems very unsafe, not to mention cold, she thought. She thought of Elon sleeping in a drafty room, sure that if it was her, she would not feel secure at all. Passing by the closet she remembered the brown stains on the closet capet, I wonder what those stains are from. Ideas and theories flew here and there, but she couldn't be certain.
Olivia swept across the hall, trying to make noises loud enough to distract her ears. The only two things she wasn't fond of was silence and dark, at least it isn't completely quite. Before long she was lighting the last candle. Happy she was done with her task Olivia laid on the nearest bed and slept. The day was too much, she was certain more could be done tomorrow, when there was light.

Elon put the last of the sleeping people in a bed. Or at least, the last ones that he could see in this new darkness. Making his way down the hallway, he found an open doorway, after his eyes had adjusted to the night. Someone was inside. He knew this from the small light emitted from a match behind them. "Who's there?" he asked cautiously. His voice seemed to echo in the dull silence of night, here in this large room.

You said you made a mistake. I said 'Yeah, a huge one.' Fate had a faint smile on her face as everyone slowly disappeared. The girl seemed slightly nervous. What was so wrong about the dark? It could be your friend if you really needed it. Grabbing a match, she tore a tiny piece of the rough material from the box to carry with her. She didn't feel like lighting a candle and wasting it when it didn't even seem that dark to her. Hearing a voice she followed it.
It wasn't long before she arrived behind Elon. He seemed a little cautious and she wanted to scare him. Seeing as she had already snuck up on him with the aid of the darkness. "There's a boy in there." She whispered in his ear. Her eyes were fully adjusted and she could make out a boy.You said you loved me... I never loved you again...

Hearing the voices at the doorway, Ignis turned around and walked closer, lifting the cup containing the candle higher to see their faces, meaning they could probably see his face now as well. "And this boy is already known to both of you." He quickly lowered the candle back down though, it would hurt his eyes if he kept it at eye-level in this dark.
"Done already?" He asked Elon. That was pretty quick... Wonder if he'd seen whoever was down there though.

Elon shrugged, now that this motion could be seen in the candlelight. "Everyone that I could carry upstairs without tripping up the stairs and breaking my legs in the dark," he said jokingly. He looked around, raising an eyebrow at all the books. "Wow, whoever brought us here must like books. This seems to be the biggest room in the whole house..." He walked to the closest shelf, now noticing the new girl out of the corner of his eye. "What's your name?" he asked quickly, turning his head to her and then back to the book shelf.

You said you made a mistake. I said 'Yeah, a huge one.' Her eyes had been transfixed on the flame and it soon gave her a headache. "Fate at your service." She did a silly little bow. "I shall be on patrol tonight." She had a slight grin and her eyes had the look of a mischievous person. Leaning against the frame of the door she looked around at the books. "And who might you two be?"You said you loved me... I never loved you again...

Tia found herself lighting her candle with one of the matches Ignis left. She sighed walking quietly down the halls, looking over everything. She left her hair down because it would be too much of a hassle to put back up at the moment. She gazed down the hallways, able to make out pretty distinct shapes in the dark. She continued walking and found herself at an open door, voices were coming from inside.
She smiled, at least she wouldn't be completely alone. There were three others in here. She was uneasy and when she was uneasy she didn't sleep well. She would her voices and feel emotions that were driving her insane.
She stepped passed the girl from earlier giving her a smile. Once in the large room she gasped at what she saw. Books. Hundreds and hundreds of books. She could've sworn she had died and gone to heaven. She let out a laugh of glee before running to the nearest bookshelf and skimming over the spines of the various books. Perhaps she wouldn't be so bored after all.

You said you made a mistake. I said 'Yeah, a huge one.' "You all have the same enthusiasm about books like my father." She eyed the huge library. Books had been her least favorite thing. James Alloy, the man who adopted her, always had a thing for books. In some of his spare time he would rebind them or sit in a corner of the huge library he owned reading them.You said you loved me... I never loved you again...

"I'm Elon," he said, taking out an old dusty, green book without any writing on its outside. "And I don't really have much interest in reading," he paused for a moment raising an eyebrow at the girl across the room who seemed obsessed with books. "But unless you've got something else, its the only source of entertainment we've got... At least for tonight." He yawned quietly, placing the green book back on the shelf.

"Ignis." He said, too lazy to even say an introduction before the actual name. "Father huh.." He looked at the other two people in the room, wondering if they had someone to worry about them back home as well. Him, he'd almost prefer to stay here in fact. Just as long as they continued to provide food, electricity, and the other usual necessities. He had no real obligation or need to go home save for school, but then he wouldn't have been in it for much longer anyway, he couldn't afford college, even with scholarships.
He walked over to the shelf, picking out three random books from different parts of the shelf. "Guess I have a pretty big interest in reading..." Though half my interest's in the actual book and not just what's written in it... "With this many books, I'll be able to keep myself entertained for quite a while." And maybe others... He added silently to himself. But he doubted it, he didn't really like to just 'show off' his abilities, and luckily, Elon hadn't seemed to have noticed what he'd done back at the kitchen.

Tia giggled, "I have always loved books..." she mumbled quietly to herself, "they don't through their emotions at you or cause you pain..." She looked at the many books smiling brightly, her dark mood vanishing yet again. there are so many...where to start...

((Time to do something somewhat forbidden and creepy))
Stevan was sitting on the ground, the will-o-wisps surrounding him, and giving him hope. Because what he usually willed happened, he had a test. "Poltergeist, come to me!" he said in a moderate tone. Gasping and sounds of pain came from the hall, and a man with a blood-streaked face appeared before him, his madness and grief evident on his face.
"Master, you have summoned me?" asked the ghost. "Yes, I did. Who are you, and how did you get here, phantasm?" he asked, the ghost's twisted face frowning, but yet showing some sign of happiness. "I don't remember...." said the ghost, and closed his eyes for a minute. He opened them back, and started screeching. The sound was enough to be heard from any person who couldn't usually hear ghosts, and the windows in the room that Stevan was in shattered. He closed his eyes, and opened them again. The will-o-wisps retreated out of the window, and the ghost was gone.

You said you made a mistake. I said 'Yeah, a huge one.' "Er... Don't tell me I'm honestly stuck with some nut jobs." She said simply after hearing the screech. Fate had cringed slightly and faced the girl. "No offense to you either... It's just that... Well the screaming and screeching and stuff crashing... Not to mention what you just said yourself." Fate bit her lip feeling slightly bad for saying that.You said you loved me... I never loved you again...

Tia jumped hearing the scream and looked around the room. After deciding it wasn't from in the library she relaxed a bit and focused on what the girl speaking to her was saying. damn, i had hoped no one had caught that... She sighed before smiling at the girl, "i tend to speak out a lot..." she couldn't come up with a better excuse for her little outburst.

((Sorry about not posting for a few days, I got a little caught up here and there.))
Caden was sitting on the staircase that lead to the second floor, she had a room but she was sharing with another unconscious person and it just felt awkward being in the same room. She had cleaned up their room slightly, dug out a few blankets, dusted, and made her bed for when she finally decided to go to sleep. When she finally emerged from the room most everyone had gone their seperate ways and Caden wasn't exactly up to mingling just yet. She was still trying to absorb everything that had happened so far tonight. As she looked around she wondered how old this house was. If it wasn't too old, maybe they had a radio of some sort, if it still worked maybe she could pick-up a frequency but nothing was for sure, and she wasn't about to go public with her powers. With a sigh she layed back on the stairwell so that her eyes looked up at the worn ceiling above. 'I wondered who use to live here?' she thought to herself as she stared off into space, in her room there wasn't as so much as a family picture or none that stood out to her at least. Another thought floating around her head, was what the others were doing, she wondered if some had already turned in for the night and if so, she wondered how anyone could be so at ease at a time like this. True Caden wasn't as freaked as she probably should have been about being kidnapped and brought to strange house in the middle of nowhere, but some reason she was really calm, she wondered if maybe she had just gone into shock and she just hadn't realized it yet. Either way her mind continued to race full of questions and comments that she had yet to file through.
