The sound of breaking glass came form the kitchen. "My dear... be more careful... these are very old... now wash your hands... ... ... excuse me...? I don't much care for that language in my house..." Then there was a shuffling of footsteps in the hallway. "Go fetch the girl in the attic... she has not been invited to a tea party... in ever so long... don't argue with me, beloved... you need to earn your supper tonight... because you are being a bad girl..."
Finally, Eliza re-entered the dining room and there was the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs. Eliza set out the cups and saucers, all of which had cracks and chips in them. "Terribly sorry for the wait, love... we'll have a few guests... if you don't mind..." She opened the lid of a jar she had a grabbed out a few mint leaves and herbs and dropped them into each of the cups then she added water from a worn out iron kettle. She then sat down and stared at the girl form across the table.

"Guests are always nice!" Annabel says cheerfully, grinning and nodding. She carefully takes her own cup of tea and blows across it; she wasn't one to like anything hot at all. "As long as they're nice themselfs, that is." The girl adds, smiling back at her host's stare.

Eliza continued to stare from across the table. "Yes..." She tilted her head slightly, seemingly staring death into the cup in the girl's hands. "Ev... everyone here is nice... dear... put your cup down... it's rude to start before the others arrive...." She didn't... or rather, couldn't lift her gaze from the tea cup in the others hands.

Beloved walked up the stairs and across the hall to the next flight of stairs leading up to the attic. She completely ignored, or simply didn't see the rooms on either side of her. Once at the bottom of the stairs she paused and without looking up, she knew the young phantom was in front of her. She said nothing out loud, but in the mind of Ana would be the strangest noises like television static and high pitched ringing all of which somehow translated to "Eliza wants you to come downstairs for tea..."

"Ah, right, right! Sorry," Annabel says with a giggle, setting down her cup lightly. "It's obviously been too long," she adds with a sigh, hoping she hadn't angered her host... of whom she hadn't gotten a name from.
But what does it matter? The girl asks herself in a slight daze, eyes staring off into nothing now. This is probably one of my illusions... dreams... thoughts... The dark is a silly thing.

After a while went by and Beloved was still missing, Eliza finally broke the silence. "So... girl... what do they call you? ...Where are you from...?"

"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, ma'am," says Annabel, "Because I am not myself, you see." She pauses to think. "Though I'm assuming I'm Annabel Dear from California." Annabel finally gets out of her small daze to look at the other girl, "And who might I assume you to be?"

Eliza grinned ear to ear. "How delightful... a riddle. I do love riddles... ever so much... we can find you... together... As for myself, dear... I am Eliza Woodsworth... humble housekeeper..."

Annabel smiles and nods, "I'd like that! Hide and seek with others is almost as fun as hide and seek with oneself." She covers her mouth as she yawns, muttering an 'excuse me' before smiling again. "'Eliza.' That's a pretty name. It's nice to meet you!"

"Thank you, dear... it's nice to meet you too..." Eliza looked towards the door. She was getting annoyed at Beloved's absence. "It's been a long time... since we've had such a pleasant guest... I'm sure our other guests will love you just as much as I do... Speaking of which... they should be here shortly..." She tapped her finger on the table top.

[Crumpet: *can't remember who your character is* o.o... not much has happened... New girl entered the house and is having tea with Eliza. The original 4 guests are still in the rooms... Beloved is in the hallway outside the rooms, waiting for Ana to come downstairs for tea...]

{ Mkay thank you- and my character is Ebonie (; } Ebonie heard a noise out in the hallway, and her breath caught in her throat. Turning slowly she tiptoed over to the door and peeked out of the crack. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed that creepy girl- Beloved- walk by. She didn't notice or bother to look at any of the rooms as she passed, much to Ebonie's releif. Only when Beloved was safely out of her sight range did Ebonie venture out of her recently un-dusted room. She went next door to Jake's room and knocked four times

Annabel smiles a bit at Eliza, admitting to herself, What a great dream I'm having. With a worried hum, she says aloud, "I hope they come soon, too. Their tea is getting cold, cold, cold." She was sure others actually liked it warm; if that was the case, they'd better hurry.
[[Ah-ha! I knew I took someone's color! I'm sorry, Crumpet! <_<]]
