appearance:

Azkabelle solemnly walked down the red carpeted regal staircase, a black veil covering her doll like features. "It has happened my friends." he voice broke a bit, the first time she'd publicly shown any emotion at all. "My father, your creator has passed away." he lifted her veil to show her glassy unblinking eyes. "I will be taking over his estate." she bowed he head, looking up under her eyelashes at her puppet peers. "I hope you will all stay in the Mansion." with her final statement she walked down the rest of the stairs and into the darkened living room where she proceeded to sit on the couch, and veil her eyes once more.

----------

Rovna enters the living room his look downcast, however he was inwardly happy the creator was dead. he was free to do as he pleased. He was free. He folded his angelic wings inward, another monstrousity bestowed upon him by the creator xandith. most thought he looked beautiful this way, almost feminine. He let out a rather large sigh, leaning against the wall. Letting his wings fan out. Cushioning his back to the harshness of the wall.

Katalina sighed in relief. She couldn't wait for this day. Free at last to do as she pleased, and no one could do anything about it. She stood up, stretch and walked over to the late master's daughter. She patted the girl on the shoulder before continuing toward the front door. She stopped just a few feet from it. Did she really want to leave? She remembered how it was when she was still human, and what if it was worse than it was back then? Of course, no one could do anything to her except burn her like tumber or cut her to pieces, but they couldn't kill her like the humans.

Hizumi flexed each finger, making his puppets animate. "So, he's dead? It's about time. I was getting tired of listening to his horendous coughing." He was sitting on a black leather chair with his feet up on the of the chair. He leaned his head back to get a better look of the girl. He could tell in her voice that she was sad, but the man did turn her into a puppet afterall.

Rovna too, stared at the door his glassy green eyes wearily watching, his wings now folded neatly behind his porcelein back. "Do you plan to leave?" he asked katalina. He didn't know her very well but he'd seen her about ever so often within the mansion. "I want to go." he stared more intensely at the door. "But i think i have been here so long, i've forgotten he human world..and above all how to BE a human." he sighed and turned away with a ruffle of his feathers. "You should stay, they will burn you if they sense you are any different than they are."

Azkabelle looked up as Hizumi spoke. "Yes, his coughing was very obnoxious." her young girlish voice was cold. She tore the veil from her ravenblack hair before tossing it to the ground. She called for a human servant to come near. "I want you to take the portrait of my father down from the mantle, and put one of me up...so people know upon entrance i am mistress here." she straightened her posture trying to look the part, but no one would be fooled by her young doll like features.

Katalina looked back at Rovna. He had a good point. The humans would surely do anything to rid them. They were natural, and they didn't know what the puppets were capable of. "I thought of leaving, but I don't know what the world out there is like." She turned around and walked away from the door. The world was a scary place, and humans were irrational.

Hizumi wasn't fazzed by how cold the girl's voice sounded as she replied to his remark. He didn't care for their master much. The man killed him and turned him into a puppet when his life was actually going somewhere. It was his fault he didn't have the chance to ask Yuki for her hand in marriage, why he never had any children, never grew old, or face the outside world again. "Well now that the tyrant is finally dead, what shall we do?"

Azkabelle sighed, and looked to Hizumi. "You may leave if you like, however i do not recomment it." her gaze did not faulter from his painted face. "The humans are not kind to people who are hinted with magic such as we." she looked down at his finger puppets. "I think you should stay here."

Rovna nodded. "It will be best that you stay." his wings ruffled in agitation as he looked at the door. He reached out as if to touch the handle, but dropped it quickly. "Let us go to the living room."

Scarlett twirled around the room, as gracefully as she could with her puppet legs. her strings had been attached to the ceiling of the attic so every night she could perform for the man that made her this way. But for weeks he had not come up to see her.. and she couldn't exactly leave easily thanks to her strings. She sighed to herself, though her chest didn't move when she did. She looked around for some type of sharp object to cut her strings and smiled to herself when she saw a shard of glass in the corner. She slowly cut away at her strings until the last one snapped and she fell to the floor.. making a loud bang threw out the upstairs. She groaned slightly and stood up, slowly and wobbily. "Hello?" She called.

Rovna heard a rather large bang coming from the attic. His electric green eyes looked skyward. "Excuse me please, i must go see what is happening up there." he waved his hand to the girl he'd been talking to and spread his wings. Instead of taking the stairs he flew up to the second floor, and walked to where he'd heard the sound. The attic. With a creak he opened the thousand year old door, only to see a 'girl' laying on the floor. "Um, what are you doing?" he asked, folding his wings in close and walking towards her.

When Scarlett saw the boy she stod straight up. "Um.. walking? Or trying too.." She mumbled. "I've been strung up to the ceiling for so long i've forgotten how to use my legs." She grimaced, walking slowly over to the boy. "Who are you?" She asked. She slowly got the hang of walking since it was the same as she walked when she was human. She did a small twirl to see if she could while not attached to the string and smiled a little when she succeeded. "Where is my master?" She asked, her green eyes glistening slightly in the light.

Ace Alexander Kurai sat in the parlor of the home. After his master died he had no clue what to do. He could stay and care for the puppets like his master told him too.. or run for the hills. He ran a hand threw his black hair that was made of mostly bangs since parts of his emo hair stopped at his jaw line. He was slightly broad shouldered but thin with a decently muscular body. To women he was considered very handsome, but to himself he was nothing special.

Rovna eyed her suspiciously. "I didn't know Master Xandith kept any of his puppets secret. Have you always been up here?" he questioned, stepping closer. He would hold out his arms when it seems she was about to fall. "We are all puppets here, all his creations." he paused for a moment. "Master is dead. He died last night." he said, not a hint of sadness in his tone.

----------

(i went ahead and made a servant too)

Seth Rose came into the parlor carrying a load of books. He plopped down next to Ace and pushed his glasses up onto his nose. "What are you going to do?" he asked

"He is?" At this information she fell into the mans arms. "But how?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him. She hadn't loved the master one bit but she had been so lonely for the past few weeks. "yes. I've always been up here.. I don't know why but he kept me up here and would only come once a week to see me." She said, her eyes looking at the boys wings. "How lovely.." She whispered, getting off of him and standing on her own again.

Ace sighed. "No clue.. what about you?"

((Sorry its short, gotta go ))

Rovna ruffled his wings, folding them closer in embarassment. "Must be you have sine special power." he shrugged. "So he wanted you to be secret." he looked down. "He's been sick for awhile, you have to know he's thousands of years old. Each time he made one of us puppets he used a bit of his own magic. I guess he ran out." again he shrugged. "I was his first puppet."

Seth sighed. "I will stay, and take care of these books." he pointed to one of the books as emphasis. He quickly kissed Ace on the forehead. "I hope you dont leave." he turned away.

Scarlett felt a small blush on her face, but it probably wasn't noticable to the boy. "Well I can see visions of the past and the future. Sometimes I see the pasts of others..And sometimes I see things that are to happen in the future." She looked at his face. "So you were his first puppet? I was made two hundred some years ago.. back when there weren't many puppets in the home." She said, her facial expression turning a little sad. "He would come up and ask me to dance for him. Apparently i'm a good dancer because he never let me leave the attic." She said, running her left hand threw her long brown lustrous hair. "Well.. thank you for helping me..If I knew your name then i'd thank you formally." She smirked a little.

Ace smiled. "Fine, I won't leave. Its just.. I'm at a loss without Xandith. He never really trained us for this moment did he?" He asked, standing up and looking down at Seth. "He also told me to go cut down his Scarlett, whoever that is.. he didn't tell me where she was." He said, biting his lip. "I;m just no good at this crap.."

Katalina heard the bang from the attic and would have followed the boy, but decided not to. Instead, she waved back and adventured to the livingroom. She really wanted to see that outside world again. Even if it was only in their own back yard. Why can't we walked out there? It's not like anyone is going to see us. She flopped on the couch and sighed. Life was so boring in the manson.

Hizumi sat up straight in the chair. Katalina had just walked in after the bang. He wasn't curious at all as to what caused it. Nothing would make him investigate it or really anything that could happen in or outside of the manson. "Well, can we at least open a window? It's so beautiful out there, and the hair would be nice for some." Of course, they didn't need any air, being dead and all, but maybe the servants would love some.

Rovna nodded to her, his face expressionless. "I am Rovna, and I am 507." he nodded once to her. "Well, i think we should go down stairs, the house is still abuzz with masters death." he briskly grabbed her hand and led her carefully down the stairs.

Seth blushed wildly as he too stood up and looked at Ace, ace was a bit taller than him and far more muscular. "I think that is Miss scarlett." he pointed to the staircase where Rovna was leading a clumsy puppet down the velvet carpeted staircase.


Azkabelle nodded and ordered for all the french doors to be opened withint the house. Warm summer sunlight poured in. and even she had to admit she was curious. "Lets go out." she said sticking her hand outside the doors. she looked to katalina. "Escort me, please."

Katalina jumped up with excitement. They were finally going outside even if it was only in their own backyard, but she didn't like how the girl more or less ordered her to escort her. She walked out the doors into the bright sunlight. It wasn't as she expected. She didn't feel the warmth or the slight breeze or smell the fresh air. She could only see and hear her surroundings.

Hizumi stood up quickly as the two girls headed outside. "We're really going out there? How exciting." He followed the two. It was better than being stuck in that house for over 100 years. It was time for a change of scenery. The puppets on his fingers looked as if they were aware of the outside world as he moved them.

Stairs weren't working for Scarlett that easily as she clung to Rovna. She was very graceful when dancing, yet walking was another story. She noticed two servant boys eying her and looked around the room. " Was he sick or did he go peacefully in his rest?" She asked. The question had been lingering at her lips for some time so she just let it out so she wouldn't feel curious anymore. The master was so handsome.. and so nice to her. Or at least he had been handsome before he started to grow old and started to die.

"Miss Scarlett eh?" He watched as the girl was pulled down the stairs by Rovna and looked to Seth. "So thats who he's been hiding up there?" He said, slightly shaking his head. He watched how clumsy the girl was and grinned. "Why would he keep a clumsy girl in an attic?"

seth shrugged "for...amusement i would guess, it didn't seem like master xandith had many female friends."

Rovna supported Scarlet as he finished walking down the stairs, he let out a long sigh as she asked him that question. "He was terribly ill, he stabbed himself in the chest, and bestowed the rest of his magic to his daughter." he explained.

Azkabelle took Katalinas hand, and looked up into the sky. "It is so very beautiful." she murmered.

"Oh yes.. he spoke of her often." She said softly, letting Rovna support her as they went down the stairs. "Thank you for all your kind hope. I'm bound to get the hang of walking sooner or later.." She said softly. She had no intention of leaving this home since humans would think of her as some monster that shouldn't be alive. She looked back at Rovna. "So tell me about you.. how'd you end up here?" She asked, thinking him too handsome to not be someone important. Why had Xandith wanted him? Or anyone for the matter..

Ace smirked. "Well, what would you like to do Seth?" He asked, feeling rather bored.

Rovna sighed. "I was the prince of england, my father had just died and the night xandith attacked me would have been my coronation ball." he chuckled a little and looked to her. "I guess Master xandith didn't like the way i would have reformed the country, but this was over 500 years ago." he looked down. "What about you?" he asked. "tell me more."

Seth sighed. "Let's go into town, im not very good at being a social butterfly, but there are taverns i like." he opened one of his books and plucked out a feather, it had been the book he was reading xandith when he died. "Hmm, i think i may actually miss him a bit." he smiled and released the feather, letting it float onto the floor.

"I was to marry a very rich man that was in his late forties.. But I didn't want to marry someone I didn't love, or like.. so I ran from my home the night he came to court me. I just kept running until I ended up in some alley way. I went to sleep there and woke up seeing a bunch of puppets staring at me and then was knocked unconcious by one of them.. then I was brought here. When I woke up I was strung up to the attic ceiling for at least a week.. and whenever I got bored I would dance. Then one day during my usual dancing time Xandith walked in to speak with me. He loved my dancing.." She trailed off. "Prince of England ? Wow. I didn't know I was in the midst of a royal man." She smiled.

Ace nodded. "So what tavern would you like to go to?" He asked, running his hand threw his hair and opening the door for them to go out.

Rovna shook his head. "I'm no longer a royal, i am as you. A simple puppet. Though..." he sighed ruffling out his golden tipped wings. "I do wish Xandith wouldn't have been so extravegant with his designs." he looked into her eyes then. "I'm glad that you ran away instead of marrying that old pervert."

Seth followed, leaving his books on the table. "I don't mind, the closest one will do." he put his glasses into his pocket, his amber eyes watchful of Ace. "So how did you end up here anyways?" he asked. "I didn't pay much attention to the other servants."

If she was alive she would've blushed bright red. "And I'm glad your here. Well i'm sad by the way you were brought here.. but now I have someone to talk with." She said, looking back at his eyes. She took her arms off of him to see if she could walk with out him and slowly stood straight. She took a few steps, hoping that she could be as graceful as before. "He wasn't even interested in me, only my families money.." She said, doing a little twirl on one foot. "Do you dance?" She asked.

Ace smirked. "I lost everything and everyone and Xandith took me in. He raised me until I was old enough to work for him to repay him for his help." He sad, walking out the door. "I've never been to nay of the taverns in town so you'll have to lead me there."

Rovna laughed. "I used to, there were many dances in the palace." he eyed her, making sure she wasn't going to topple over. "Probably look like a drunken dog next to you though." he brushed a piece of pale white hair splashed with crimson red out of his eyes.

Seth laughed. "I'm surprised i did not pay more attention to you." he led him to the horse stables, and helped him mount one of the black stallions, while he himself took on a white one. "You are very ....cute." he hopped onto his horse. "Please tell me you know how to ride a horse." he smiled beautifully.

She put a hand out to him. "Trust me, you couldn't like that even if you tried. Your too handsome." She complimented, wanting to dance with a partner for once instead of dance by herself. She had her free hand push her bangs out of her eyes and look at him. She looked to her feet, sighing slightly. "Is there a garden outside?" She asked, thinking it'd be nice to breath fresh air instead of the dusty attic air.

Ace blushed a little. "Thanks, And yes.. I know how to ride a horse." He said, hopping onto a black horse and running his hand over its main. "So how'd you end up here?"
