((Keppit and X ONLY...unless you beg and I say otherwise XD Continuing from my last post...))
"Welcome to the Jivvin House." Smiling wearily, Isto led the way towards the door, Slush tucked under his normal arm.
The House was, to put it quite simply, magnificent. An ancient mansion rose from the earth, easily five stories tall, shimmering eerily in the fading light. Three pairs of double doors lined the front, each with the emblem of an hourglass burnt directly in the center. The only visable difference of the doors was the sand in the hourglasses. The first glass had nearly run out, the second was still about half full, and the third was almost completely full.
It was to the middle doors that Isto walked. He knocked once, then turned the knob, opening the door and stepping to the side to allow everyone else in. Surprisingly, the entrance hall was empty. Or, empty of life at least. The hall was as wide as a normal room, and stretched towards the back of the House, abruptly ending at another set of double doors. A few other, simpler doors lined the hallways, each leading to another area of the House.

Keppit followed in behind Moo and whistled... "WHew... Isto you people live it up" she walked further in... "I heard about those doors... what are they again? Past present and future?"
Jen padded into the mansion behind Keppit with a very surly look... he was impressed... it just didn't show...

"Eh, the House was Moo's great great uncle's or somethin' like that. She inherited it." He nodded slightly, glancing back outside, eyes moving first right--towards the Past, then left to the Future. "Aye, this place is crazy. Moo flatly refuses to let anyone into the Future door, but Jack an' I go to the Past pretty often. S'interesting. I don't have a mohawk there...or a metal arm, for that matter."

Keppit turns... contemplating the past door... " the thought of those doors disturbs me... it really does... "
"It's ok mom.."

*X admired the architecture of the house as she unbuckled herself and shimmied her way out of the van, Banda tucked securly in her arms. She herself wasn't impressed by the size of the house, hers was about that size too, an inheritance that she had just found out about, apparently it was where her entire line of family had lived, but then she turned and forgot, but that's a nother story alltogether. She waited for Jen to get out of the van before shutting the door and walking up towards the house.*
Magnificent...but I don't know if I'd want to visit my past or my future...
*Slush contimplated the idea of the three doors, marvelling at their size as he clung to Isto's arm, enjoying the ride.*
Why have three doors when you can only use two? That's silly.

"You get used to 'em," Isto murmured, shrugging. He chuckled softly, shrugging and glancing down to Slush. "Each door takes you to a different place. The whole House changes when the door opens, and other people appear, as well as different landscapes and such. It's kinda creepy... Moo thinks the combination of three times is probably what' caused all the trouble with the fifth floor. The magic's eroding, and-" He abruptly fell silent, blinking down at Slush. He'd forgotten who he was talking to. Grinning sheepishly, he shrugged. "The middle one's the only useful door."

Keppit was only too glad to turn away from the doors... they creeped her out... "Best go find moo huh? Get the worry over and then some food into the doomster and us all " she grinned
Jen rolled his eyes...

*X saw Jen roll his eyes, causing her to purse her lips slightly, but make no comment. This wasn't anywhere near her business, so she just continued to pet and nuzzle Banda as she walked in through the doors.*
I still think it's silly Sharkie...
*Slush grinned cheekily at the mention of one of his nicknames, turning around towards Keppit so that she could see how the nickname indeed made him happy. Catching Jen's eyeroll, his expression fell and he looked at him curiously before turning back around and busying himself with giving himself his own visual tour of the house.*

"She's probably in the kitchen," Isto offered, closing the door once they'd all entered. "Helping Alao cook dinner, if I know her."
He failed to catch Jen's eyeroll, but chuckled softly at Keppit's use of the nickname, glancing down at Slush. "I'll give you a tour of the Past later. Then we'll see how silly you think it is..." Yawning, he set the child SM on the ground, winking. "Explore to your hearts delight, but stay off the fourth and fifth floors, alright?"
Meanwhile, Banda was curled up in X's arms, murring happily from all the attention. It finally occured to him that they were home, and he straightened up slightly, yelling. "MOOOOOO, WE'RE HERE!"

Keppit smiled...
Jen saw that his eye roll had hurt Slush's feelings... Jen sighed... he wasn't rolling his eyes at Slush... he was rolling his eyes at Keppit... she could be so strange... he deided to keep his facial expressions to himself... and with Isto's mention of exploring the house... Jen padded back into the hall and sat down to think...

*Slush nodded up at Isto with a small smile, padding along the hallway till he smelled the welcoming odor of food being cooked, and by the smell of it... it was REALLY good food too. Forgetting what had happened for the moment, he trotted after the smell that beckoned him, taking deep breaths and licking his lips lightly under his skull. X smelled the food too, and felt her stomach rumbling lightly, trying not to be too rude, she skipped right to the point.*
So Isto... where exactly is this kitchen with the magic smell coming out of it anyways? I'm sure Moo would really like to see you... and uh... well I'm really hungry.

Isto laughed aloud, but soon fell silent, plastering a grin on his face. Woo, too much laughing HURT. But he was home, so...he'd eat, then head to bed. Everyone would understand, right? He'd hardly slept the night before...unless unconciousness counted. "Just follow Slush. Look's like he's heading the right way..."
And he certainly was. A bit further down the hall, a doown on their left was open, and it was from this door that the smells were coming. This soon became apparent as Moo ran out of it, skidding to a stop and spinning to face her guests. Almost immediately she charged over to Isto and wrapped him in a tight hug, grinning. "You're back! You're...bleeding on me." She abruptly let go, staring at his shoulder.
Quite suddenly she grabbed Isto by his normal wrist, dragging him back towards the kitchen, shouting cheerfully back to her guests. "Dinner's almost ready, c'mon! ACIIIIIA, get my tool kit!"

Keppit had followed Slush and Isto into the kitchen and grinned at the way that Moo treated Isto... "Hiya Moo... how goes life? "
Jen was still in the hall... he could hear Moo and Keppit and Slush talking in the kitchen... he wasn't going to go through... not yet... he might in a moment...

*X grinned at Moo's reaction too, following everyone into the kitchen, noticing that Jen had stayed behind, her stomach urging her too much for her to stop and ask questions, it wasn't her business either. Taking one deep breath, she inhaled the yumminess of the food. Slush hopped up on the nearest chair and watched the ongoings with a smirk and some curiousity.*
Need any help Moo? I'm X and the furry pink ball of doom over there is Slush...
((Sorry, comp troubles.))
