Dreams of the Silent

Far in the mountains is a very small village. Over the years it grows, but only by a few babies each year. The population never getting very high. A witch lives very close to the village. Down a very dark dirt road. The presence of being down the road is horrible. Almost like something can, and is eating at your very soul as you go down the path. Very few ever make it so far.

This role play is about a ritual that happens each year. You see, the witch is said to control any good fortune that happens to the village. In exchange for good fortune, she asks for one child every few years. It has been eleven years since the last drought. When the witch first came.

[INSIDE]

The house came together lovely. The children, when first turned into dolls are supposed to loose their memory. Although a few of the dolls slowly tend to gain pieces of them back. Everything in the house works. From oven's to running water. The Dolls are for the most part, are little people. Except for the fact that they can simply shatter. There is a room for each doll. Although a few of them share for odd reasons. All of the doors and windows to the house are locked. Creating very claustrophobic conditions.

So... When do you think the Dolls will get out?

It was morning as the orange-red sun peeked in threw the old windows of the doll house. Raven groaned a bit as the sun hit her eyes dead on. Forcing her big brown eyes to open in the flash. She hated mornings, or at least the first ten minutes. She always seemed to be the first awake no matter what. She got up from her small twin bed. Raven, even for being the oldest doll had the smallest room. She preferred it that way since she never did need too much to be happy. She took a small look around. There was a statue of a horse on her window sil. Why? She was never sure. It was there when she woke up eleven years ago. So she kept it.

Rave, her nickname, got changed into her normal attire. The witch liked for all the dolls to have their own style. Raven appearing to be that of a mobster. Her boots also gave her a bit of extra height, putting her above most of the other female dolls. In the house she could hear no other. So she quickly changed, putting her signature hat on last before stepping out of the room. Although turned, taking hold of a book stratigly placed near her door. She walked down the hall slowly as her boots made small clicks against the wood floor. Never enough to wake anyone. She being the first door in the hallway of bedrooms, she would not be there for long.

Raven headed downstairs into the main part of the house. First going into the kitchen to get a glass of wine. She was probably the only doll in the house that started her morning with one. Then, she went into the sitting room. She took a seat on one of the chairs in the room. One of the only things in the house she had marked hers. Mainly because she always picked that chair. She sat with her back up against one arm of the chair, and her feet hanging over the other side. The glass of white wine sitting on the table just behind her head.

Liam woke up after hearing the footsteps. Although anything really would wake the male up. He sighed, rolling over and shutting his eyes. Refusing to get up just yet. He would sometimes sleep until noon, but most of the time he would be forced to awake early. Today was one of those days. Each step or little noise the other dolls made, he could hear until finally he decided to get up. Although had to wrestle with the sheets, forcing him to fall off the bed. "Wonderful. This will be a grand day." Liam said out loud as he untangled himself from the grip of the sheets.

He got up and changed into his normal attire before leaving the room. A beat was in his head. Nothing overly complex. But before leaving the room he took hold of some blank paper writing down the simple beat as he walked. This being completely normal for Liam to do. He enjoyed music, a lot. He headed downstairs in to the kitchen, taking a seat in one of the kitchen chairs as he got the simple beat out of his head.

Sumiko woke up to a loud sound as if someone had just fallen out of bed she sighed and looked up at the roof of her room. Her room was one of the larger rooms with a four posted bed in it, her room style fitted her just fine. Sumiko rolled out of bed and went to her wardrobe and pulled out one of her many dresses, she was more of the princessy type of doll that lived in the doll house. She opened her bedroom and walked down stairs and into the sitting room, she saw one of the older dolls sitting in her normal chair she walked past her and sat in teh window seat by the window.

Phoenix open her eyes as she felt the warmth coming from the stain glass window that she greeted as she open her eyes and stared at it. She slowly moved as she found herself lost in the beauty of the colors that came from it as the sun shown threw it. She stared at it in wonder enjoying herself as she looked back to her bed. She moved with out thought as she went threw the paces of her morning making her bed dressing herself in her normal outfit. She smiled as she then fixed her hair. She stared at her window seal with the beautiful picture of a phoenix that had been put in it. She smiled as she looked at her candles about her room. She left her rather spacious room full of different nick nacks mainly things of nature wood and rocks. Her room had a slightly Asian and western all at the same time. She left her room and headed down the hall crossing her arms as she closed her eyes and lifted from the ground moving down the stairs. Once she reached the bottom she landed and open her eyes happy for her little gift. She hated the stairs due to her size. Climbing the stairs was a feat in its self she was happy to be one of the few who didn't have to fool with it. She wondered about the house till she came to the living room. She held out her hand as she moved the candle stick over to be even with the other and took her set on the over sized couch that the witch had.

Chi open his eyes as he heard the others being to wake. He made his head then dressed and walked out his door. His room was dark the way he liked it. He walked to the kitchen ignoring all signs of life. He was not a normal doll not by any means. He stared at the stool that stood between him and his counter that he had to get on to reach his goal and become alive again. He glared at it before walking up to it and doing a quick flip and landing on top of it then jumping up on top of the counter. He then eyed the coffee maker as his eyes shifted to the cabinet as he then did another flip and open the cabinet holding on to the handle then quickly swung into the cabinet. He stared in the darkness and smiled as he smelt the aroma that greeted him letting him know he was awake and it was time to stared his day. He gave the bag a kick that the smell came from and watched it fall on to the counter.

He then jumped from the counter and landed from a few feet from the bag. He grind as he open the bag and flipped a spoon into the bag then into the coffee filter. He closed the bag and walked about the counter and then quickly jumped to the sink landing on his feet. He gave the cold water knob a kick as he picked up the stray nozzle and aimed for the coffee pot. Once he had the pot full he put the nozzle back and turned the cold water off. He then jumped back to the counter where his beloved was. He smiled as he closed the lid and kicked the button on. He smiled as he heard the sound of it brewing. He paced back and forth as he waited wanting his dear and only love in the morning that made him alive.


As soon as he heard the pot stop he jumped and grabbed a cup. He quickly poured a cup and smiled as he took the sent in. He quickly drunk the first cup down then poured another. He smiled as he took a set and drunk the second cup before refilling it and doing the same. He would not be awake and ready for the day or sociable or nice till his fifth cup. He sat there and enjoyed his coffee as he felt a little better about things.

Miu twisted and turned in her sleep. She was having another one of her dreams. Her dreams all started a little more than a year after being turned into a doll. It started with a single image of two girls standing next to each other, hand in hand, in identical red kimonos. They were both young, and both stood expressionless in a dark void. Later she could hear laughter, and the children smiling and laughing. These dreams were few and far between, and she didn't tell anyone about them. They frightened her, but also made her curious. It wasn’t until three years had passed that she started to dream through her own eyes. She saw the shrine her family owned and operated, and the wilderness around it. Always with her was the girl. Finally, after almost four years of having these haunting glimpses of memories through her dreams, she heard her and the other girl's name called by a smiling, tall woman. It was then she released she was somehow related to the girl that had held hands with another identical girl. It wasn’t' until months had pasted that she saw her own reflection, and realised she was the same as that girl with the identical copy. She was that identical copy. Then, only a month or two ago, she had a revelation that she's kept even quieter about than her dreams. It was the same dream she was having now.

Miu and her sister, Miko, were in a small room with two sleeping mats. It was dark, except for a lamp burning dimly. Her sister was crying, and she was hugging her tightly.
"But I don't want to go Miu! They never come back! I don't want to go! I'm Afraid! Miu!"
The other girl was sobbing, and Miu stroked the girl's hair. She could feel tears running down her own cheeks, warm, and foreign to Miu since she was only a doll now.
"Its ok Miko, you don't have to go. I have a plan."
"No, Miu! You can't! She said me! She'll do something even worse if you go! She'll know!"
Miu felt herself pulling the other girl closer, then releasing her, and turning off the lamp.
"We don't have any choice, Miko. Get some rest."
Then, everything went black.

Miu woke with a start, That dream, again..." she thought, lying in her bed. She stared up at the ceiling, waiting until she calmed down. She took a few deep breathes, then threw the covers off of her. She rubbed her face, then looked at her hands. "So it really was just another one of these 'dreams'. They all seem so real..." she thought sadly. She looked around her room, and sighed again. With her distress from the dream her powers had activated, leaving all of her papers a mess around her semi-large sized room. It was basically half a bedroom, and half a studio for her to create in. Several paintings of forest landscapes from her dreams appeared on the walls, along with a shrine, and a few poems written in characters. She had a few sketches of each of the other dolls also, one of Liam and Chi waiting to be colored on her easel.

With a sigh Miu got out of bed and started picking up the mess she had made in her sleep. It took more than a few minutes, but it wasn’t' the first time she had done it. "I really should start storing these some where else before I go to bed. Picking them all up is becoming a hassle." she thought, scolding herself. Once her mess was put away she opened her drawers and took out an outfit. The witch supplied her with a wardrobe of mostly punk lolita fashions. No, or short, sleeved button up shirts, vests, and a variety of pants, skirts, ties, and other accessories to match them all with. She selected a white, sleeveless button up shirt, a black vest, a white and black checkered tie, a pair of black pants, a checkered belt, and a top hat with a wide checkered ribbon around it (basically her in the picture, but also what else she's wearing). Once she was dressed she left her room and headed to the kitchen, closing the door behind her.

When she reached the kitchen she saw Liam and Chi sitting there, Chi looking pleased with his cup of coffee. "I wonder what cup he's on now. Probably the forth or 5th." she guessed mentally. She had paid attention to everyone's personal quirks in her years at the dollhouse. It intrigued her a bit, and it was rare to find something to amuse you in one house, no matter the size. "Good morning." she said, and walked to the cabinets. She pulled out a kettle and coffee pot, and set them both on the counter. She filled the kettle with water, and set it on the stove. After putting it on a medium-low flame, she opened a different cabinet and took down the berry tea and honey. She dropped one of the tea bags into her mug, making sure the string was on the outside and not in the mug, and put the others away. She took a seat one down from Chi, just in case he was in one of his 'moods', and waited for the kettle to whistle. "Do either of you want a cup too?"

Mike woke up when the light poured into his room he hated it, he rolled out of bed and threw on his clothes. He walked over to a desk that was in his room, he sat down and opened a book and started to read. He only read in his room he didn't want to give any of the other dolls ideas that he was a bookworm. He read a chapter then closed the book, he got up then walked to the door he pulled shadow over him, the light was to bright for him this morning. He opened the door walked out and closed his door behind him, he walked down the stairs and in to the sitting he saw all of the people sitting in the room so he walked over to a chair that was in the corner. He pulled a drawing out of his pocket, it was of the girl tha he spyed on for many years he never met her but he knew her name. He stared at the picture for a few minutes and then put it back in his pocket, he didn't really talk to the other dolls he knew some of thier names but he never talked to the new dolls of the house that much, he never started the conversations anymore.

Raven noticed a few of the dolls waking up and coming out of their holes. Although she would not even look up from her book until her glass of wine was gone. The book in her hand was none other than Edger Allen Poe's works. They were her favorite after all. The book was barely being held together since Raven had gone threw it so many times. One of Raven's first doll memories was waking up with the book opened to 'The Raven.' That was where her name came from. Since for the life of her, Raven could not remember her real name.

She already was about thirty pages into the book by the time the living room was invaded. Or not really Invaded. Unlike a few other members of the house, Raven did enjoy conversation. But she also enjoyed quiet time. Which the mornings typically were.

"Everyone know what day is today." Raven said. Her voice was fulled with mystery and darkness as she spoke. Words flowed from her tongue like rushing waves. "We shall have a new addition to our merry family." Of coarse she did not look up from the book, reading a few more lines before closing it. "I wonder how long it will take for this one to join us." She thought out loud, getting up to go into the kitchen. With everyone for the most part up, Raven would start breakfast.

She went into the kitchen, placing her book delicately on the counter. She started by pulling out a few ingredients. Although she never really announced what she was going to make. Raven did know how to cook. She probably read all of the book in the library. Including the cook books. She put a few things on the counter. "Good morning everyone by the way." Rave finally said while throwing everything into the bowl and mixing it into a dough.

"Chi, your in my way." Raven said to the angry male. They lived together in the house by themselves for a year. Therefor Raven could probably get away with much more than anyone else. But they still did argue every now and then. And sometimes even got into big fights. Mainly because Raven would catch him on a bad note. She took a few spices out of the cabinet and held them asides while she finished up. Rolling the dough and spices together to make cinnamon rolls.

Raven waited for Miu to be finished with the oven before preheating it. Miu was another doll Raven liked. She was a thinker though. Raven knew about what had happened in everyone's pasts. That was very power after all. She knew their memories before they became dolls. But Raven would never tell. Why? Well she did not know her own. So why should they? But Miu was also another doll Raven did not know much about as a doll. Although she had learned a lot over the past year.

The oven beeped, therefore she put the cookie sheet of cinnamon rolls in the oven, setting the timer.

((I'll get to everyone slowly lol.))

Liam looked up at the other dark elf walked into the kitchen. Going right for the coffee. He always felt a small bond with the elf, although that could have been because they looked alike. The other doll honestly scared him. Since he could never guess what the male would do. A friendly face did walk in after though. "Good Morning Miu." He replied. Putting his make shift music sheet aside. "Sure I will take a cup." He said to her. Watching her boil the water and prepare the tea.

Raven came in just a bit later. Out of everyone, she was the most mystery to him. She never let on too much about herself, but her personality was there. Although honestly he felt she was growing older in a way. Slowing down compared to everyone else. It was difficult to explain really. But he was excited to see her cooking.

Miu nodded, and when the kettle let out a low whistle she got up and took another glass from the cabinet. She took out another bag of tea, and put the rest away. . She poured the hot water into both of the cups, and then a few drops of honey. Raven came into the room, and said good morning to them all. She had started taking out ingredients to cook with. "Good morning Raven." she said. She would of offered her a cup of tea, but she knew Raven preferred a glass of wine in the morning. Raven was one of the more mysterious dolls of the house. She enjoyed socializing and quiet time. She was one of the smartest dolls in the house, not only because she had read all the books in the library, but she also seemed to have this air of knowledge about her. Raven was also one of Miu's friends. They saw eye to eye on a lot of things, but even then she would never tell her of her dreams, her memories.

Miu picked up the two cups of tea, and set on in front of Liam, "There, careful, its hot." she warned him. She sat across from Liam at the table, and took a sip of her tea. Liam was another interesting character of the house. For whatever reason, Chi seemed to be very found of him, bonding as it would seem. They were both alike, look wise at least, but had different personalities. Chi moody, and Liam, for the most part, friendly. From her own observations and experience with Chi, he didn't care much for most of the other dolls. He seemed to be a very moody character, especially before he had his coffee. He liked Liam for whatever reason, and seemed to hang around him. She wasn't sure if Liam liked Chi, but doubted that would be an issue to Chi. In a way, they reminded her of her dreams of her and her sister. She doubted they were related, though sometimes she felt a pain in her chest after seeing Liam and Chi together happily. She wasn't familiar with the feeling, though it wasn't quite jealousy. She just couldn't place it. Miu took a sip of her tea and then a deep breath through her nose. "Spices, I wonder what she's making this time." she thought happily. She was a little hungry, but not much.

Phoenix rose from her set on the couch and jumped off landing flat on her feet. She shifted her head as she heard all the commotion and headed into the Kitchen. She crossed her arms over her chest as she stared up at Chi after haring Raven. A slight smile graced her beautiful face as she watched the coffee cup move from chi. She smirked as she watched him follow as if he was a dog and that was his bone. She knew if any one else had done her little trick they would be dead by now. Her eyes shifted to Raven as she stood there watching her. "You forgot the frosting." she warned as she flipped the page for Raven to see. Her eyes shifted from Raven knowing that she would be a little foul with her for letting the others her what Raven was making. Raven was surprisingly one of her preferred dolls to be with and spend her time with. She smiled as she caught a glips of the others as she turned giving each a smile. "Good Morning." She said in her warm friendly voice. Her eyes peered down the hall as she shook her head and laughed. "Every one is up some of us are in hiding.Poor dear the sun is too much for him. Too bad we can't say the same for Chi." She said as she cut her eyes to the dark doll.


Chi kept drinking his coffee and grabbed another cup as Miu appeared. He gave her a warm smiled as he laughed and looked to Liam. "Good morning to both of you, I hope you are well." He said as he finsihed his fifth cup of coffee happy and ready for what the day could bring him. He got up and mocked Raven as he poured him another glass and went to sit back to annoy her. His eyes widen as he watched his cup float off to the other side witch he followed. He turned and stared at the small blond headed doll that had appeared there with the others. "You are lucky I had my fifth one already but you already knew that didn't you? Some times I wonder why the witch had to bring you then you do something to Raven and I know why." He said as he cut his eyes to raven giving her a cheese ball grin knowing Phoenix was one of the few dolls that could get under her skin besides him. The blond doll was like his tag team partner when it came to Raven and he liked it. When he first met her he hated her and wanted her out but now after she saved him from fire he loved the little doll with her strange disturbing ways. She was their own know it all but liked it. He laughed as he heard Phoenix and shook his head. "Do we need to take this to the addict? You know up there your power want help you there is nothing for you to move and Accidentally pen one of us under it like you did before. " He said in a playing tone as he smiled at the doll before looking to Raven. They had been their the longest and for a while heated every doll that came into that house but now he couldn't image the old place without it. "I wonder what power this one will have. I hope no more have your Power Raven or yours Phoenix one of you two is enough."

Sumiko watched all the others walk into the kitchen, she had noticed that one had gone to sit in the corner where the shadows were. She smiled and then took some of the light that was around her and moved it to light up some of the darker areas of the room. She didn't like the shadows they always seemed to bring her down, she ut a glow of light around her so that she could bring the light where she walked. She jumped down from the window seat where she would normally spend her mornings.

She walked into the kichen with her glow still around her, she looked up at some of the dolls that were drinking coffee or tea she rolled her eyes and went to the fridge and took out the orange juice, she went over to one of the cabinets and pulled out a glass and poured herself some juice then returned the juice to the fridge. She walked over to the table sat down and then said "Smells good", she didn't really like to talk most of the dolls here looked like they could really bring a person down. She loooked out one of the windows and smiled while she drank her orane juice.

Mike watched the girl that was moving the light, he knew that she was the last new doll to arrive and that she was always happy. He decided to follow her into the kitchen to finally met her, he did need someone to talk to that seemed to be happy. He got up from his shadowed corner and walked towards the kitchen, he took of his shadow cloak he never used his powers infront of the other dolls he liked to be unknown to them.

He walked into the kitchen and saw that the girl had taken a seat at the table that had some shade but the glow around her made that shade seem so small. He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few time so that his eyes would adjust to the light, he looked at all the other dolls and the back to the girl, she was looking out the window and he decided that if he was going to introduce himself now would be thee time. He walked over to the table and sat down in chair that was close to her but not too close, he looked at her and then said "Hi, my name is Mike, whats yours?". He looked out the window but the light was to much for him at the moment so he looked back at the girl, her glow wasn't to bad at the moment and he waited for a reply.

Sumiko turned to the other doll and said "My name is Sumiko, nice to meet you", she was suprised this was the first time that he had talked to her. Sure she had seen him around, but he normally avoided her and hide in the shadows, she was suprised but happy to have someone to talk to. She looked at him it had been a whole year since she had arrived, she then said "So whats your power", she didn't like to ask a lot of questions but she wanted to keep the converstation going. She finished her orange juice and put the glass on the table she looked at Mike and smiled, she looked over to where Raven was cooking again smiled and said "I love the smell of baked goods it just seems to make this place a whole lot better" . She looked back at Mike then she realized that he didn't really like that the light was so bright, she took the glow that was around her off so that he wouldn't get uncomfortable when talking to her.

"They have to cook first," Raven responded to Phoenix. She did look down to the page, seeing the frosting. "I was thinking about making an orange frosting any how. Although I'll probably just leave some plain for the boring crowd." Raven said. She washed the bowl out, and got herself another glass of wine in the process. She was definably a character. Drinking in the morning. Depending on the day she even got drunk by night time. Although those reasons were her own.

She froze suddenly from her work. After what Chi had said about the witch. She stared straight for a few seconds. Although shook her head and started to move again. Even the mention of the witch could put Raven on edge. It was probably the only thing that could But it did not happen all of the time.

"Mike dear. If you want to shut the blinds because the light is harming you, go right ahead." Raven said suddenly. knowing fully most of the dolls enjoyed the light. But enjoying was one thing. When someone was being harmed, it was another. although maybe Mike simply did not like the light. Who knew? "I'm sure most of us here will understand."

"They will be ready soon, Sumiko." Sumiko and Mike were two that tended to keep to themselves. Therefore Raven did not know then all too well as people. But from what she did know, they were pretty good kids. Kids because they were two of the youngest. At least that was how Raven viewed it. Most of them came here as Children. But grew older. The younger dolls learning from the older dolls.

She took a another bowl out, along with the one she had just cleaned. Raven seemed to make perfect time. She grabbed ingredients, and an orange from the fridge. Making fresh frosting for the rolls. The oven beeped just a second later. Carefully she pulled them out to let them cool. In the meantime she mixed with a spoon. Of coarse they had a mixer, but Raven rarely used it. Simply because she would have to clean the mixer. It was at that time she noticed Liam had left the room. Probably to go play is new song.

"Thank you Miu." Liam said. Although he did not listen to the warning, and drank it right away. Although the burning did not seem to bother him. He noticed a few other dolls take a seat at the table with him. The smell entered his nose, making a dance with itself. Jeeze that women could cook. And she was fast. It was always fun just to listen. Liam went back to his writing. But soon got up. Heading suddenly out of the room to the piano. It would only take him a few minutes to perfect his new song after all. He leaned down and started to play.It was always amazing to see what he would come up with. Just following a simple beat.

Mike looked at Sumiko and smiled it was the first time that he had smiled in this house, he then said "My power, umm I don't really like it so I don't really use it or talk about it". He looked over his shoulder at Raven and said "No, it is alright my eyes are just not used to it thats all". He looked back at Sumiko, her glow was gone so he said "Your power is very obvious and you didn't have to stop using it just for me" he smiled ands then asked "So are you always happy or is today just one of your good days?".

Phoenix just ginned as she leaped from the counter appearing as if she was flying to the other counter on the other side of the room as she began to dance as she heard the music coming from some where not to far. She held out her hands as she gathered the things that Raven would need laughing as she did so then leaping from the counter and landing on the floor as she danced her way out of the room heading to where she heard the music. She loved music and loved the beautiful pieces that the dark elf Liam seemed to be able to come up with. She stood in the door frame not wanting to startle him.

She entered the room as she danced in time with the music as she felt as if she was taken back to some time she didn't know. In her mind as she danced she found herself in a beautiful building with beautiful girls in full kimono herself in a beautiful red and gold one. She froze as she shook her head seeing her hand where that of a doll and not a real person as she had seen only moments before. She stood there trying to figure out what to make of it. This was not the first time she had those happen. She didn't know what to call it and didn't like them at all. She let her arms fall to her side as she just stood there staring blankly at the dark elf as he placed in a type of daze.


Chi sat there as he watched the others his eyes shifting to Raven as he got up. He jumped passed her as she worked never missing a step staying clear of her as she worked till he came to the sink and placed his cup in it as he washed it then fraught with the dish towel to dry it. After doing so he put the cup back up then walked to where Phoenix had left the things for Raven.
He let out a breath as he watched the women drink shaking his head as he cursed under his breath as he began reading the book and adding things into the bowl to help her.

The pair were like a old marry couple they couldn't live one another or with out one another. He did everything for the base of the foresting then went and cleaned the dishes and spent his time putting them away not a easy feat by any means. "Great where is Brain at when you need her." He said as he did a flip from the very top cabinet after fighting with the over sized bowl that some one had used and not cleaned or dared to put him. He landed on his feet then went back to washing hating how messy Raven could be. "You better be glad your you or I would eat you alive for the mess you are making in here. I work hard to keep this clean and I would have made breakfast if I had known it was going to be you. I remember your first attempt to make theses and we used them as base balls."

Sumiko looked over to Raven and said "Ok, thanks", she looked back at Mike and said "Its alright". She looked down at the table and then back to Mike and said "Ya, I guess my power is obvious, and you could say that I am always happy" she smiled and said "Everyday is a new adventure, so you have to start it with an open mind to all possibilities. She looked down at the table again and said "that is the only thing that I remember", she looked back to Mike and smiled then said "So do you always hide and avoid people?". She giggled a little and got up and washed her cup and put it away avoiding Raven and the other doll and went back to the table to finish her conversation with Mike.

Mike looked at Sumiko and said "Well if you think like that then the only option is to be happy" he watched her as she looked down at the table and lisened to what she had to say. He then said "I guess when it is the only thing you can remember is a rule worth living by then it is better then just a fait memory of a person that you always wanted to meet". He chuckled at how she described him and then said "Sometimes, I like to do things on my own though". He turned towards the window then back to Sumiko trying to avoid the light of the window, he then asked "Can we finish our conversation in the sitting room it is starting to get to bright in here?".

"Thank you" Raven said to Chi as he started to help her. She was simply mixing now. Hearing him washing from behind her. She simply rolled her eyes. Knowing how he hated her leaving a mess on the counter for more than two minutes. Even though she was still busy cooking. And would get to it in a bit.

"I will clean it if you give me the chance. But I'm busy at the moment." She said. Icing the cooled Cinnamon buns. Although she ignored his comment about her early cooking. Hey, it was true. And if she remembered right, she had thrown one threw a window trying to hit him at one point.

"They are ready everyone. Make sure you use as many dishes as possible too. My wife will get them." Raven said in a completely serious tone. Taking two and putting them on a plate. Setting them Aside for Phoenix and Liam.


Liam's fingers danced over the keys. Some fast, some slow, but all coming together. Dancing like dancers do on a stage. He heard someone com into the room behind him, and turned his head slightly, not missing a note at the same time. He noticed Phoenix had come in, Although also noticed how she had froze. "Phoenix?" Liam question, slowing his playing. Although when she did not respond right away, Liam stood up. Going over towards her. He did not completely understand the Visions. His were mostly of fire and left him screaming

"Hey hey, Miss Phoenix. You alright?" Liam questioned. Making his way towards her slowly.

Phoenix stared off into space as she shook her head and stared at Liam. "Oh, Sorry for disturbing you Liam. You shouldn't have stopped it was to beautiful I loved dancing to it as I do most song you play. You are gifted. It just happen again this time I was in one of the dancing houses with the beautiful young geisha's and girls as they danced I wore a red and gold kimono though that could never be for we have always been this." She said as she stared down at her porcelain arms. "At times they feel so real. Then you wake from them and see that it was just some type of dream." She said as she stared back at him. "I loved that piece I hope you finish it. Come on Raven has the rolls out. You have to eat to play." She said as she smiled at him.

Chi dropped the plate he had been cleaning as it shaded into pieces. His eyes glowed slightly as he turned and glared at Raven. He said no word as he gave her the look to let her know she had crossed the line. He slammed the nobs on the sink off. He stared at her as he eyed her bottle of wine. He brushed pasted her as he picked it up and threw it off the edge of the counter into the trash as he leaped from the counter and stormed off. He stormed up the stairs at rather fast pace as he entered the library and slammed the door behind him after some effort. He walked to his book on the table and after a few flips he ended up on the table where he had his book of homer's plays as he stat on the edge of the candle stick stand. He picked up his glasses and placed them on as he began to read forgetting everything or trying to.

"Oh, no fair." Raven said to him as he threw the wine away. Although it really did not hurt her to loose it. More so, it showed her each time she had a problem. But she did it to herself, away from everyone else. Whenever she went into the basement. Most of the dolls did not like it down there since it was cold and dark. She waited for him to leave as a bit of guilt settled in. She simply sighed though, bending down to pick up the broken plate pieces before anyone could step on them.


Liam smiled at the compliments. A light air surrounded him, then came a crash from the other room. Seemed him and Raven had a mini argument again. Raven ticking Chi off since Chi went up the stairs to their right. He felt the need to speak with the other Dark elf and looked up at him going up. "That sounds beautiful." Liam commented, still listening to Phoenix. "I have them often. Although mine are less than... well beautiful." Liam said with a small smile.

"I will join you in a bit. I feel I must speak with Sir Daichi." Liam said to her. Starting to head up the stairs. He knew where the doll would be. But waited outside for a few good seconds. Taking a deep breath before entering the library. "Daichi? Are you in here Sir?" Liam questioned. Closing the door behind him. Knowing completely he may be walking into a gruesome beating. He saw the male doll reading, and offered him a bow before entering his personal space even more.

Ekin had woken up with the others, but did not see the point in traveling to the kitchen just to be pushed out by that horribly overly-emotional Daichi. She assumed just because she had to live with him, didn't mean she had to like him, there was plenty of space in the house for the two of them. She sat in front of a vanity mirror and brushed her hair, then stopped suddenly to stare at the reflection of the porcelain girl that was supposed to be her. She thought she remembered looking different, having dark hair instead of the blonde, and yellow eyes in place of the green, but that was just some faded part of her memory, like the dreams she would have whose memories would disappear into the blackness as soon as she opened her eyes to the sun shimmering in through her window. She thought for a second, about the past that might have been hers and decided that it was better left in the past. there had to be some great tragedy to cause her to be this way now, so why attempt to bring it up? But as she tried to shut out the thoughts, more of them poured in, and the name "Stella" was pounding in the foreground of her head. "Who is Stella?" She wondered out loud. "Could it be the part of me that I don't remember?" She reached out a hand and touched it to the mirror, her porcelain fingers making a delicate 'click' noise as they touched the reflective glass. She pursed her lips, then quickly turned away from the mirror and pulled on her dress so she could travel downstairs.

Kristofferson laid awake on his bed, debating on whether or not he should bother to roll over and greet the others. The spirits in his room whispered more gently than the ones out and around the rest of the house. He decided that he would brave the screaming souls only to explore the delicious smell he thought to be eminating from around the kitchen. But it was such a long walk, with the stairs, and his room being at the very end of the hallway of doors. "I suppose if there is no pain, there is no gain." Then he winced. He remembered hearing that saying somewhere before, but he didn't know from whom, or if that person was worthy of being quoted in the first place. he shrugged it off, ant attempted to block out the screams that were now echoing around his head as he opened the door and began his long trek down the hallway. He silently wondered if Lady Ekin was still in her room, he wasn't sure why, but her company comforted him.

[kinda short for a first post, buuut.... Oh well :)]

Sumiko looked at him and said "You remember someone that is way better then a life rule" she looked over at Raven who had just said that the cinnamon rolls were done and then she looked at them she thought to herself 'they looked really good'. She looked back at Mike and said "Ya, sure we can finnish the conversation in the sitting room" she looked at the cinnamon rolls then turned back to Mike and said "Do you want one?" she smiled and stood up.
