It's fairly unremarkable for a house. Four pale blue walls, a dark, grainy roof, a tall stone chimney, a cheery rounded red door. Nothing out of the ordinary. The only unusual thing would seem to be its size- too big for any normal house, yet far too small for a mansion. Light leaks out through the windows dimly, despite the curtains in each one. Even the door has a window, small and circular, complete with bright green curtains. A shaft of light peeks out, illuminating a twisted, rusty iron gate. Barely readable is a sign which states in curliqued letters, "87 Sugar Hill Road." There is no such street in sight, and the gate has been torn out of the ground, and is now laying on the lawn, yet there are no holes marking where it once may have stood. Any visitors to the house would have to walk around it to reach the front door, which upon closer inspection, is ajar. A straw welcome mat is peeking out from the inside, fraying at the edges, but still pefectly useable. A sign of what is to come.
As visitors pass through the doors, several pairs of eyes peer at them through various doors. Who could they belong to?

Save number one, for the master-ess of the house! Yey!
Name: Divinity Saturne Millner (goes by DS)
Age: 19
Birthday: February 29th
Sign: Pisces
Height/Weight: 5'8/Secret
Eye/Hair Color: Violet/Blue
Status: Single
Occupation: Secret? o.o;
Likes: Her family, baking, parties
Dislikes: Strangers, magic, danger, being ignored
DS is, simply put, a nut. She spends half her time in the kitchen, making all sorts of baked goods (but she can't cook anything else without help), and the other half spazzing over anything that happens. She's usually pretty calm, however that's a front, and inside she's a bundle of nerves just waiting to explode. Somehow she manages to keep her houses (yes, she has a few) in order, and does the same with her wards, though the effort is exhausting. Still, she's usually cheery, at least on the outside.
Her past is a muddled mystery, which she mostly refuses to talk about. She has no connections with any of her family except an aunt of hers, who set her up with both the house that is now in Port Gino, and Vi'domi. Both were influenced greatly by the magic of their former owner, and strange things are known to happen constantly. In fact, that's how they found their way to Port Gino in the first place.
The only other sign of magic in her past is shown through the fox ears and tail she sports. During her childhood, she got into an accident in her aunt's laboratory, which sent an experiment out of control and caused her spirit to become fused with one of a nearby kitsune. For the most part, the other spirit half remains dormant. Yet when DS's spirit becomes exceptionally weak (usually moments before defeat of some kind), it can take over and control her. This has only ever happened once.
She remains wary of magic, and tries to mantain a normal existence for both herself and her wards. This, however, she finds impossible, so she simply tries to like one day at a time.

If number one was for the old lady who lived in the shoe, this is for all the children she didn't know what to do with. Bigger pics when I feel like digging up links. Same with more detailed descriptions.  Eriol James Satourne; Scattered Story Alias: Eri Date of Arrival: August 12th, 2004 Age: Teen (about sixteen?) Sign: Sagittarius Likes: Reading, magic and Jedi powers, adventures Dislikes: Being left out, boredom, not being told what's going on Eriol loves adventure and because of this often barges into things he's not supposed to, hoping to find some. Most of his have been on a very small scale, which is disappointing to him. Whenever he's not getting into trouble, he's usually reading in his room, or playing with one of his brothers or sisters. Since returning from his journey, his dislike of girls has softened, though he'll usually prefer the company of other guys. He's quite social and talkative most of the time, if a bit edgy around strangers, and quite protective of his family.  Karan Satourne, Legend of a Tale Alias: Unknown Date of Arrival: December 2nd, 2004 Age: Child (about nine?) Sign: Unknown Likes: Music, soft things, moving around, his scarves Dislikes: Sleeping, silence, the waning moon, bright light Karan is a newer addition to the household, and the youngest child DS has had to care for in a long time. He's a curious sort, who likes to meet other people and see new things. Darkness and light both seem to scare him at different times, but he always has a fierce love of the moon. He also loves soft things, and will seek them out whenever he has the chance. For the most part, he seems to be nocturnal.  Yeine Nalari, Jedi Apprentice Alias: None Date of Arrival: December 8th, 2004 Age: Child (About eleven?) Sign: Cancer Likes: Nyan, pink, children, praise Dislikes: Strangers, getting hurt, being touched by others Technically not one of DS's wards, Yeine is an apprentice Jedi who is staying with the family on Gaia while she attends the Gaian Jedi Academy. She is shy and anxious around most people, even ones she knows well, and is usually quiet in big groups. She hates being touched by people shy doesn't know, and that increases if someone touches her tail. Otherwise, she's very sweet, kind, and helpful whenever her nervousness doesn't interfere. She has been away from the house for a while, searching for her fellow apprentice Nobu.  Ying Satourne, Jumi of Raspberry Garnet Alias: None Date of Arrival: October 17, 2004 Age: Teen (about fourteen?) Sign: Capricorn Likes: Friends, music, dancing, bright colors, Eriol Dislikes: Silence, drafty nights, itchy things, birds As a Jumi, Ying is protective of her chest area (that being where her core is). She is an active, cheery, courageous girl who loves spending time cheering people up. Eriol, the person who named her, is considered her guardian, and she spends as much time as she can with him, thinking of him as a big brother to look up to. She has a strange dislike of birds. Recently she has become guardian to a Shadow Fiend she calls Savvy. Bob Bailey Satourne, biological child of DS and Naita Alias: BOB. Date of Arrival: August 20th, 2005 Age: Baby (a few months) Sign: Leo Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown Bob is the daughter of the unlikely pair that is DS and Naita. After a strange New Year's 2005 the two have been forced to get to know eachother better; a journey in itself. Bob's unique appearance puzzles both mothers, but she is loved nonetheless. Still, DS lets Naita have as little time alone with the infant as possible, after her absence shortly after birth resulted in a rather unusual name for the babe.  Viviana Kismet Satourne (and Outcry), Forgotten Document Alias: Viv, Vivi, wtfwhale? Date of Arrival: November 20th, 2005 Age: Baby (< one) Sign: Scorpio Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown Viviana is the result of a rather confusing trip Eriol made to a library hidden beneath a house. After being locked in, pushed around, plunged though a floor, and almost drowned, the reluctant teenager was presented with the babe and her companion, a miniature whale encased in a layer of water. Currently the two (or is it three?) are trying to get used to eachother, with limited success.  Linnea Claude Satourne (dun ask), Water Fae Alias: Lin-chan Date of Arrival: April 13th Age: Child (about eight?) Sign: Pisces Likes: Rocks, her doll, family Dislikes: Heat, strangers, loud noises, rude people The oldest even if you wouldn't know it, Linnea is also the most introverted. She doesn't speak much, and tends to freeze up when she's with strangers. Even around her family she's quiet and tends to keep to herself. She likes coolness, especially the cool feeling of stones, and tends to stay away from the hot sun as a precaution. As a water Fae, she gets dehydrated very easily, but loves taking baths and going to the beach. Xue Satourne, Porcelain Alias: None Date of Arrival: October 17th, 2004 Age: Child (?) Sign: Gemini Likes: Playing, friends, generally having fun, drawing Dislikes: Sadness, fear, boredom, being ignored Xue is seldom unhappy, as he's always trying to keep a cheery outlook on life. He loves playing with anyone he can find, and will always try to cheer up someone who's unhappy. He takes things very seriously, even his playing, since he thinks that everything (especially playing) is important. His lack of normal speech makes it tough for him to commumicate with non-Porcelain friends, but he manages well enough and won't let it get the best of him.  Savvy, Tsavorite Shadow Fiend Alias: Savory, Tsav, that shadow thing Date of Arrival: March 17th, 2005 (officially Halloween 05) Age: Wisp (?) Sign: Unknown Likes: Darkness, gemstones and other shinies, making fun of Ying Dislikes: Light, white magic, cowards, being scolded A strange stone that Ying had meant to purchase on Halloween mysteriously came to life and hid under her skirts. After a few explanations she came to understand that some sort of soul was encased within the gem, which had somehow bonded to her. The first trials for the duo have been trying indeed, but hopefully things will improve given time.  Melete Ourania Kelahen, Neilani Exchange Student Alias: Unknown Date of Arrival: January 3rd, 2005 Age: Teen (about fifteen?) Sign: Virgo Likes: Neilan, tea, her brother Dislikes: Gaia, DS, fancy clothes Melete is student from another world known as Neilan. She is staying in the house under Lionel's unlikely care, and much to her displeasure. Still, she has adjusted to life on Gaia somewhat, and her hatred has turned to a sort of morbid curiosity (in her own opinion). She is also the keeper of the Time Bandit known as Jaic. Currently Melete is home on Neilan, but it is possible that she will return at any time.  Kinnison Anders, Chisin Star of Destiny Alias: Kinni Date of Arrival: February 11th, 2005 Age: Child (about six?) Sign: Taurus Likes: Archery, the forest, solitude, most animals Dislikes: Disrespect, towns, loud people Kinnison came across Lionel while the nobleman was searching for his former home, and the two came to an agreement of sorts. In exchange for his services as a guide, Kinni gets to keep an eye on Lionel and heep him out of trouble- mostly trouble that would harm the forest he loves. After an accident involving a hunter's trap, Kinnison is recovering at Sherwood Castle, where he and Lionel are getting to know eachother better.  Quyen, Faerr'fly Tsubasa Alias: Qu, the egg Date of Arrival: January 15th, 2005 Age: Egg Sign: Unknown Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown An flying egg that started hanging around Port Gino. After a couple days of eyeing it suspiciously, a few of the kids brought it in. It will follow pretty much anything it sees, and when left alone, seems to weaken and tire. Curious indeed. Sirius and Remus, Talaye Alias: Sirry and Remy Dates of Arrival: April 24th and June 28th Ages: Evolved and Adult (few months each) Signs: Taurus and Cancer Likes: Miko, family, sleeping; parents, the sky, friends, adventure Dislikes: Being abandoned, strangers, anything odd; pups, being overprotected, enclosed spaces Sirius is the son of Draco and Angeni, and has been very nervous and jittery since he was a pup. He's become a little more assured since meeting his mate Miko, and having six pups with her, but he has shifted his worry for himself onto his loved ones, which makes things a little complicated at times. Remus, Sirry's oldest son, has a dislike of pups that stemmed from all his brothers and sisters, and the fact that he had to share his parents with them. He's become more independent because of that, albeit a bit disagreeable, and is plotting an adventure with his best friend Ovid. And probably more I'm forgetting.

A few visitors- they don't "live" here, but they're here so often it doesn't matter. Or might show up. Whatever.
Sneaky, Kleptomaniacal Raptor
Alias: The Sneak
Date of Arrival: April 13th, 2004
Age: Adult
Sign: Unknown
Likes: Shiny things, pretty things, sneaking things, Nusumu
Dislikes: Using brute force, not having things
Sneaky is a Raptor, whose egg DS recieved during her travels. Like her name, she's quite a sneaky little thing, who loves nothing more than stealing something from right under the nose of an unaware victim. Though it might not be obvious, she does have a conscience, and she insists what she does is for everyone's own good. After a few months of being missing, she's returned and is now spending most of her time at the Porcelain's cottage.
Nusumu, Chef/Kleptomaniac Porcelain
Alias: None
Date of Arrival: May 26th, 2004
Age: Child (Restored)
Sign: Unknown
Likes: Cooking, being sneaky, her hoard, Gongjin, Sneaky
Dislikes: Being bossed around, DS, people taking her stuff
Nusumu is just as sneaky as her Raptor caretaker, though that is muted by her two other loves: Cooking, and Gongjin. She has quite a hoard behind the couch, and will lash out at anyone who goes near. Currently a child for the second time, she's helping Sneaky get readjusted, working on her mission, trying to avoid Xue whenever he's there, and cooking for any hungry passerby.
Lord Oojiji, Peachi Tree Conqueror Kaju
Alias: Momo
Date of Arrival: March 31st, 2004
Age: Adult
Sign: Aries
Likes: Flying, Peachy, his parents, most Kaju, peaches
Dislikes: Being alone, boredom, plums
The hyper Kaju extraordinaire, Lord Oojiji, who will one day take over the world! Bwaha! *cough* Okay, maybe not. Still, this little puffball (usually called Momo) is a very happy, cheery, always-on-the-move, curious sort. He loves spending time with his family, especially "Peachy-neesan" and "Nike-niisan," though he also considers Sirius his little brother and hangs around the Talaye meadow often. Most of all, he loves flying with Peachy, Nike, and his friend Shakti. His current mission is to find out more about "special kisses."
Cereth Satourne, Fire Tiger Zodical
Alias: Reth
Date of Arrival: July 10th, 2004
Age: Child (about five?)
Sign: Leo
Likes: Tigers, his bell, playing, chocolate
Dislikes: Cold, yelling
A fairly simple fellow, Cereth is usually happy, like Xue. He loves to play, be with his friends, and eat yummy foods. No one has ever seen him get angry or something, which is odd since tigers have quite the tempers, but perhaps that's for the best. Not much is known about him, including his language which seems to mostly consist of cattish sounds such as "Nya!" He is currently journeying with Kemuri.
Kemuri Shisei Reiyem, Juusanshi of Tiger Castle
Alias: Kem
Date of Arrival: June 6, 2004
Age: Unknown
Sign: Unknown
Likes: Reading, solitude, being busy, protecting those he cares for
Dislikes: Being useless, dreams, memories
Summoned through a stone from another world called Shisei, Kemuri never quite fit in. He keeps to himself, not out of shyness, but for reasons no one really knows. He seems to always be lamenting something, but he never speaks of his past in Shisei, so it's impossible to know what. Much to his disbelief he's starting to get along with the children he was brought here to watch, especially Cereth, who he views as a younger brother. The pair are now travelling Gaia together.
And probably about five dozen more. @.@;;

Human (though that is arguable) visitors.
Otherwise known as the aunties and uncles of the bunch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aunt Buffy, Aunt Fae, Aunt Pink, Aunt Nai, Uncle Kenchan, Uncle Zero, and Uncle Grondax- images and info to come.
Name: Lionel Christian Elijah Henry Anders Winchester
Age: 23
Species: Human
Residence: Sherwood Castle, Gaia
Date of Arrival: December 25th, 2004
Sign: Taurus
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 167 lbs
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Distinguishing Marks: None
Occupation: Earl of Keburry, Master of Sherwood Castle
Family: Older brother (Merrick), sister (Violet)
Marital Status: Engaged
Mind Strength: Unknown
Likes: His fiancee, open fields, chocolate mousse, control.
Dislikes: Everything that's happened since he arrived.
Lionel, former Earl of Keburry, has lived a life of luxury and extravanance, and it shows. His skin is rosy and healthy, never showing any dirt. His mop of dark hair was once cut neatly at the nape of his neck, however since arriving in Gaia he has gone without a haircut. A few stubborn curls almost reach his shoulders, but most stop at the nape of his neck. This hair is tied back with a plain black ribbon at all times, unless he is asleep.
Despite his slow acclamation to modern times, Lionel refuses to dress in anything that "does not suit his station." Staples of his wardrobe include pressed white and pearl gray shirts, dark pants tucked into mid-calf high leather boots, and vests of various subdued colors. His gold trimmed navy waistcoat is a bit worn, but still elegant and always worn in colder weather. He always carries a gold pocketwatch somewhere on his person.
He is starting to become used to the oddities of Gaian society, but maintains his haughty personality in times of duress. Self-concerned, obsessed with material goods, and quite condecending, he can infuriate many people when he does not take care to be universally well-mannered. When he is paying attention to his behavior, he can be pleasant, polite, and well-spoken, but will always be somewhat distant. Status means a great deal to him, especially since it means next to nothing to most other Gaians, and he does his utmost to set an example. Sadly, this example is not one most would want to follow, but he does learn.
[image pending]
Name: Raven Kyrie Millner
Age: 21
Species: Human/Leprechaun
Residence: Eastern Durem, Gaia
Date of Arrival: Unknown
Sign: Scorpio
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 128 lbs
Hair: Deep Purple
Eyes: Green
Distinguishing Marks: None
Occupation: Teacher of Mathematics and Magickal Ritual
Family: Twin brother (Glen), cousin (Divinity), aunt (Olivia Satourne)
Marital Status: Engaged
Mind Strength: Extremely High
Likes: Gold, doing magic, apple cider, antique hunting.
Dislikes: Divinity, death, beaches, alchemy, lame excuses.
One of DS's few living relatives, Raven is everything she isn't- brilliant, powerful, beautiful, and famous. Despite this she despises her cousin and will do almost anything in her power to kill her. She is slightly insane, but does not seem to notice, nor does she let anyone else know. Her behavior is paradoxical, but since most people only see one side, they know nothing of what goes on behind the mask.
Raven is stunningly beatutiful, having both good genes and excellent experience in looking one's best. Her striking purple hair almost reaches her waist, but is usually pinned up or back. A stark contrast, her skin has an almost porcelain-like quality to it, and is cold, while her hair and eyes almost seem to burn with radiance. She wears thin rimmed glasses for heavy reading, but only when she absolutely needs to. For some reason she looks older than her age of twenty-one, especially when wearing her glasses.
Her manner of dress is clean and polished, but little else. Plain blouses and skirts, with high-heeled shoes and sweaters are all that seems to be in her closet. Her favorite outfit consists of a brown blouse with a v-neck and simple brown embroidery, and a knee-length, cream colored skirt. She is almost always wearing both earrings and bracelets, usually gold, and is never seen without a charm bracelet on her left wrist. Her appearance is always amazing, even though her style leaves much to be desired. Still, she gives off a cold aura, and despite her polite exterior is often viewed as unapproachable by all but her closest friends and family. Even these people wonder how she managed to get engaged.
[image pending]
Name: Glen Kayode Millner
Age: 21
Species: Human/Leprechaun
Residence: Shatan'du
Date of Arrival: Unknown
Sign: Scorpio
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 141 lbs
Hair: Dark Green, with a hint of blue
Eyes: Gray-Blue
Distinguishing Marks: None
Occupation: None (Invalid)
Family: Twin sister (Raven), cousin (Divinity), aunt (Olivia Satourne)
Marital Status: Single
Mind Strength: Extremely High
Likes: Gold, Raven, playing checkers, visitors, candy apples.
Dislikes: Solitude, nurses, yellow, foreign movies.
Counterpart to Raven, Glen was once one of the brightest students of his day, and had a prosperous future awaiting him. An accident when he was fifteen changed all of this. While his fate was not as bad as others in the same situation, he was stripped of his will. The ability to choose his own actions was completely gone, and the only way he could function on his own was as an empty shell. On the other hand, any direction given to him would have to be followed no matter what his own opinion was, making it dangerous to live with others. He currently lives in isolation, only visited by nurses, his sister, and other guests that are few and far between.
Other than his unusual condition Glen is in peak physical condition. He bears a healthy peaches and cream complexion, unkempt but manageable blue-green hair that is barely chin-length, and a chipper smile. Unless it is a very special occasion he is dressed in pajamas, covered with a thin robe. He is confined to a wheelchair, unable to properly move or stand unless continuously told to. While he, like his sister, is very attractive, he is far more down-to-earth. When he is engaged in an activity, his personality is allowed to shine through, and one can glimpse the charisma and energy too often hidden from the rest of the world. Otherwise, he tends to resemble a lifeless doll- very much like Raven, many people note.
[image pending]
Name: Lady Olivia Satourne
Age: Unknown- appears 40ish
Species: Human?
Residence: Shatan'du
Date of Arrival: Unknown
Sign: Gemini
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 135 lbs
Hair: Honeyed Gold
Eyes: Light Blue
Distinguishing Marks: None
Occupation: Matriarch of the Satourne Clan
Family: Too numerous to record
Marital Status: Unknown
Mind Strength: Too high to record
Likes: Simplicity, tradition, family, old movies, angelfood cake.
Dislikes: Change, permanence, small spaces, disobedience.
From a distance the matriarch of the Satourne family would look in many ways like an ordinary woman. She is pretty, but not beautiful, smart, but not overwhelmingly so. If one did not know her they would think her unremarkable. But she is far from that. Olivia Satourne is not only one of the most powerful sorceresses of the time, she is one of the most powerful sorceresses of all time. Granted with immortality at the age of thirty-four, she has not aged a day in almost five hundred years. She has been forced to see her family punished repeatedly by a curse laid upon them for her misdeeds, tempering her once feisty nature. Now she has all but given up hope.
Lady Olivia- she is almost always adressed with a title, but whether or not she has earned one is unclear- has honey-colored hair, thick and curly, that falls to several inches below her shoulders. Her clear blue eyes, so light they almost blend with the whites of her eyes, always look distant. Her size, in both height and build, is entirely average. Even so she commands a sense of authority that very few people can resist.
Her attire is most often simple and elegant, usually consisting of embroidered robes and dresses. She will never even wear a shirt and skirt, to speak nothing of pants. Sometimes she will dress more formally, in fully accessorized gowns, but she tired of this long ago and now reserves her formalwear for special occasions. Her favorite jewelry includes a long string of pearls and a pair of gold and diamond earrings. Oddly enough, when at home she is often spotted without shoes.

Rules, FYI, etc. ^^
Also some random information will be stashed here for a while.
Trent's full legal name: Trent Kekoa Neil Radcliffe (he omits the first middle name, if not both, on most forms and schoolwork)
Take on diabetes: It sucks, but he manages it. It isn't too hard- two shots of insulin (he's no stranger to pain with all the fighting he does, so it doesn't bother him at all), being careful not to eat too much junk food, and making sure to eat something once in a while. Sometimes he'll forget to do that, or to check his blood sugar, so his aunt needs to keep an eye on him. But for the most part he handles his disease well.
Relatives: Todd and Kekepania (Stephanie) Radcliffe, parents; Katherine Radcliffe (40), aunt; Keoni (John) Haukea (2 cool , uncle; Iekika (Jessica) Nolani (25), aunt; Kaleo Nolani (7), cousin; Mele Nolani (5), cousin, Ikaika and Kalani Haukea (57 and 5 cool , grandparents;
Wallace and Sheena Radcliffe (61 and 55), grandparents.
Take on his relatives: "My parents are hippies, but at least they're not around much anymore, so I don't have to deal with them much. Aunt Kathy's pretty neat. She lets me use the hotel pool when I need to practice, if I help her when she needs it. She helps me find jobs when I need them too, like doing yardwork for Mr. Kouver and babysitting for the Hayashii's. Uncle John's pretty neat- whenever he's in town he brings lots of neat stuff with him, and he helped my find my ride and pay for it. I don't get to see Aunt Jessica much, unless we're in Hawaii, but she's pretty nice I guess. Kaleo and Mele are okay enough. I sometimes bring Kaleo my old robots and he likes to play with those. Mele's a little harder to understand, but she's cute I guess. My mom's parents are nice too, not that I see them much. I never see my dad's parents at all. They used to write, but now that dad's in the islands they haven't done that at all. Probably don't care enough." Trent is probably closest to his aunt Katherine, his uncle Keoni, and his cousin Kaleo, even more to any of them than his parents.

Faevan walks tentatively to the door of the house, wondering if she had gotten the address correct.
"I hope this is it." She sighed to herself. Silently, she leaned a small envelope against the door, turning and walking away into the cold snowy night.Note reads  To Eriol: Seasons Greetings. I'm sorry this gift was late in reaching you, but I wish you and your the best of the season. Enclosed is a gift certificate to my studio. Please come and see us. This will give you your choice of any portrait package we offer. Happiest of Holidays to you and yours, Faevan

Only after the last present was wrapped and stashed under the tree could DS finally retire to bed. It had been a long day. Week, even. Perhaps the best term would be month. In any case, she needed a good night's sleep. As she changed into her fuzzy fleece pajamas, she thought of the coming day and what surprises they would bring.
Even she could not expect what was to come.
The moon, finally becoming full again, shone down on the quiet house. In response, the house shivered in the moonlight, quivered, and very slowly started to rotate. The spinning got faster and faster as the building continued to absorb the unearthly light, yet went unnoticed by its residents, even when the building vanished into thin air.
It reappeared several miles away, in a location unfamiliar to its occupants. Between two houses was a large grassy field, which this house suddenly occupied, nearly. The fact that it was two feet in the air was hard to ignore, but it didn't remain that way for long. Seconds later, it had crashed to the ground, shaking people and things alike from their resting places.
Eriol sat up suddenly, his green eyes alert despite the early hour. What could that jolt have been? His gaze flickered around the room, never resting on one image for more than a few moments. His desk was away from the wall. Most of the things on it had fallen off. His blankets lay in a heap on the floor. The door to his closet was hanging from one hinge. Something was obviously wrong. He grabbed a white shirt from inside the closet and pulled it on, the ends barely covering his black and white striped boxers. Once he was "decent," he grabbed his lightsaber and wand from the floor, one in each hand, and raced into the hall. "Mom?!"
A pale furry hand clutched a brown teddy bear tightly, the being attached to it awake and afraid. Whatever had woken her, she was sure she wouldn't like it. Yeine rubbed Nyan's head with her free hand, and sat up slowly. Did she really want to go see what it was? It probably wasn't any of her business. But if it was an attack of some kind, she had to go protect the others. Determined, but still extremely scared, Yeine stuffed the bear into a pocket of her soft pink robe and marched out of the room.
Linnea was already awake when the house fell, and the resulting crash shook her from her bed and onto the floor. She whimpered, clutching her head and the trembling fins on either side. That was SCARY. Tears streming down her cheeks, she crawled back into bed and hid under the covers. Nothing would get her out there!
One gold eye peeked out from the top of a large cardboad box, closely followed by a silver one. Karan frowned as he saw the state of the room. It was a mess. Far from the neat way the lady had left it. His box had nearly fallen from the bed it was placed on. He leaned back against the other end, praying it would help balance the his unstable crib, and hoped someone would right it soon.
Equally pale hands shove the box further onto the bed.
Karan asked for help? biggrin
Urm... he supposes so.
Well, Xue will help! And he will wait with Karan until Des comes in and says what happened!
Always a sound sleeper, it took DS a few minutes to awaken. Something happened. But what? Her eyes blinked open, but everything looked the same. With a sign she rolled over and shut her eyes again.
After a moment, they flipped open again, this time in shock, and accompanied the motion with a loud shriek.
The man who was sleeping across from her yawned and opened one blue eye in sleepy confusion. It took in the situation, then was joined by its partner in a show of surprise that would match DS's. Horrified, he bolted upright, his mouth trying to say something, but his voice was gone.
DS scrambled out of bed, pulling the sheets after her to cover herself, despite the fact that she was completely clothed. "Who... who are you," she stammered, "and... and what a-are you doing here?"
"My dear lady, I should be asking you that very question!"
~Safety save...

The man lept out of the bed and stood on the opposite side to face the woman. His long dark brown hair looked as if it might have started in a braid of some sort, but all that was left of it was a messy knot at the nape of his neck. He was decked out in a long navy blue coat trimmed with gold rope, and his knee-high black leather boots squeaked on the polished wooden floor as he backed towards the door slowly.
DS took a deep breath. "What... what were you doing in my bed?" Her voice had shrank to nearly a squeak, and the sheet was still pulled up to her neck.
"I'm sorry, madam, but you must be mistaken. This is the Knightsbridge Armory, which I am inspecting on behalf of- oh, that doesn't matter. What manner of wench are you that would seduce a noble without even so much as a courtesy introduction?" The man was growing more and more agitated, though he tried deperately to contain himself.
"Sir." Finally more sound was coming out, but it was still quite strained. "I believe I know my own bedroom. This is not the Knight's armor or whatever. It's my house, and I demand to know why you're here!"
Perpared to reply with another stubborn arguement, he shot the woman a look- and stopped. "Don't you know who I am?"
"Should I? Do you know me?" This was starting to get on her nerves, and rather than be frightened, a sense of anger was boiling within her.
"Of course not. But it would be natural for a maid or the like to know who they are to be serving, and..." He trailed off as the room's image finally permeated his senses. "This... isn't my room."
Finally, a breakthrough! "Exactly. It's mine." DS's voice took on a matter-of-fact tone, finally resigning herself to find out more about the situation. "So, just who're you anyway?"
"Lionel of Keburry, of course." He said his name with pride, which made DS a little bit queasy. "If you wish to know my full name... Lionel Christian Elijah Henry Richard Anders, Earl of Keburry, son of Jareth, duke of Monti, and Elane, countess of Segree."
If DS hadn't been sitting on the bed, she would have sunk into it with a thump. Instead, her shoulders slouched a little. "Y-you're some noble dude?" Didn't monarchs go out with knickers and water closets? Apparently not...
"Of course. And if I am not in my room, I demand to know my location this instant, wench!"
That snapped her out of her shock. "Listen bub. You can't go pushing me around like that. This is MY house, so I make the rules. And don't think you can call me wench or anything just because I haven't got a high and mighty title. For your information, I'm Devika Satourne of the Satourne clan, and if I wanted to get rid of you my Aunt Olivia could-" She froze. That had to be the answer.
The man, Lionel, started to respond, but a yell from the hallway preceded his speech.
"MOM! Mom, come'ere! Somethin ain't right!"
"Eri!" DS looked over the room, then gave a stern look. "You, mister, are going to say here until I say you can come out. Don't try to leave, I've got questions for you, and if you try to get out I'm gonna turn you into a toad. Got it?"
It wasn't the thread that made him nod with his mouth agape, but the look in DS's eyes that made her look dangerous. Either way, he sat on the bed as his way of agreeing.
"There're some books under the nightstand," she muttered as she left the room, shutting the door tightly behind her, and ran down the hall.
Eriol was standing next to Yeine at the front door, and both of them were staring out into the front yard. "M-mom... this isn't..."
"This isn't our yard."
