Oh this will be fun, Seregil thought to himself. He stood there patiently as the woman stalked about him and then passed a harsh her judgement. Seregil simply smiled at her as he folded his arms across his chest, "You know nothing of me, but you know of these wild circumstances we happen to be under. I have little more choice in the matter than you do, so it would seem that we are both here against our will. If I could have it my way, I would be single for quite a while longer..." he admitted incautiously. "Why is it that a lovely lady like yourself, is not already married miss Sabina," his tone was playful yet slightly sharp as if he were teasing her but his smile hinted at nothing.

"Wild accusations? Do you not drink blood to live? Do you not currently has a passel of young women locked away within a castle whose walls are very far from prying ears? How do know that this is not all some sort of game. Toy with your food, get them to trust you to loosen them up before using them as you please? Knowing that the screams would not be heard except for maybe the lonely herder lost in the fog. One easy to scare into superstition and who, with a few drinks will speak in whispered tones around the fire in the tavern." She stopped before him, heels clicking on the floor as she planted her feet.

"As for me, why can't I simply stay single because like you said, 'I would be single for quite a while longer.' Why should a settle for a man who poses no challenge and would expect me to stay in the wagon cooking, or out in the woods, birthing hid children. Or perhaps I'm simply a smoke addled seer who brings more misfortune to those who seek her than good and rarely sees reality from fiction."

Keeping a calm composure Seregil shook his head lightly, "I said nothing of any accusations. I simply stated that all of us are here against our will, both my brothers and you ladies. It is our father who has dragged us here and told us that this is an arranged marriage and to my knowledge, he wouldn't lie about something like this. And in all honesty I cannot say that I've known anymore about this than you. If you are sincerely expecting this to be some sort of trap I suggest you waste your time and energy thinking about something more practical for this does not follow suit with the lot I assure you." It seemed to him that this woman had a thing for attempting to mock him but he shrugged it off effortlessly. Her answer to his question contained a great deal more attitude in it than was necessary yet he made no attempts to raise his voice in any way, "I understand milady, but you know nothing of who we are. You know what we are but not who. It's not wise to judge a book before it's read, you'll never be able to tell the quality of its content that way." Seregil smiled majestically for the woman, she was most definitely an entertaining woman for sure, it seemed he had a good eye.

Sabina burst out laughing, tossing her head back as she did.
"And yet, Gadje I bet you've already made assumptions on me because you don't know who I am. It's the way of the world. Also one will only read a book because they've made an assumption based off the cover. People don't pick up a book whose cover is dull, they will look for colour and flash. Then they will pick it up and read. Sometimes it's more interesting, sometimes it's just a sad disappointment. That's what makes it interesting. The unexpected nature of things."She tossed her hair back before crossing her arms again and kicking a hip out slightly, waiting on his response. She was having a bit of fun with this back and forth.

Seregil laughed lightly, she was intelligent but as she had said, he had already assumed that, "You have some merit to your words, everyone makes base assumptions in order to decide a course of action when faced with the unknown. That is the way of the world, but because you personally would look for flash and color doesn't dictate that the next may do the same. They may decide they want something plain and simple, no? Choices are a matter or preference which is a matter of personality, all of which dictate what it is that we assume or if we make assumptions at all. For all you know I may have very well walked up to you with an open mind waiting to be filled, but because I simply don't function that way, I had made assumptions of which all seem to be fairly true to a T at this point." Seregil winked playfully at her, then wondered if the rest of the women would be willing to have a debate like this, or even his brothers for that matter.

Koi was simply sitting in the hallway now - only reciently been aware of Alvaro's presance. Saysha wasnt a force to trifle with - neither was Oblivion which made them so difficult to control, them being the strongest one's made. Things were now starting to get bad as the tell-tale migrane came, the supressed personalities flooding back and some of them - with a vengance. Others understood her previous course of actions, and were not angered with her. Soon - she'd be agravated with them for hours. Why was she here? In a mansion full of people? She held her knees tighter to her chest, not willing to admit that she was a 'good' girl by far. Just by her thoughs, she almost made a vampire snap, she almost lost controll of Saysha. What more - she stopped that thought in its tracks. Much worse could happen. Oblivion could take over. Or Saysha for that matter. Or X. Deciding the next course of action - Koi sprung up and sprinted down the hallway to the front door in an attempt to get out.

Miyuku had been wandering around the house for awhile now, she was careful not to go upstairs. Mostly because she was scared, she looked around to see if she could find any of the other girls but she saw that most of them were with the guys so she just shied away and left them alone.

Miyuku had her face pressed against the window and her head titled to the side, she yawned slightly putting her hand to her mouth. She sighed, she just wanted to be out of here Miyuku had never liked to be trapped inside a house for too long she just loved the outside world.

Lucus smiled softly following carefully after Kana. He didn't want her gettig lost or hurt.

Zefie looked around, though she was a bit surprised to be taken to nice place. She took out her book, and started to read, most of the guys had left, besides a few. Zefie then saw that another one if them was shying away from the group, She stared at him for a moment, then resumed reading.

Aaron looked at Miyuku curiously, he was obviously not listening when his father was speaking. Aaron walked slowly over to Miyuku,"Hey, are you okay?" He asked. Aaron wanted to be careful when he chose a wife, he wanted one who respected his hobbies. No matter how girly they are.

Blaine watched all of the girls who were in the room, or who were left in the room. He also saw the remaining factor of his brothers who were present, but one girl caught his eye. The problem was she'd walked out of the room a few minutes ago. Standing up, he smiled at the girls appreciatively and bowed politely before speaking. "I'm sorry you all have been subjected to this whole ordeal. I hope my family and I can make this as comfortable an experience as possible," he said calmly. Poking his head out in the hall, he saw the Japanese girl trying to make a break for the front door. The active vampire strolled to over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. He chuckled with a gentle smile and watched her carefully. "Well I thought that a person would say hello before waltzing out of a room filled with people, even one who is interested in you. I'm Blaine, by the way, and you're name is ...." he drew this on until she answered.

Miyuku's eyes widened again, she jumped a little and looked at the voice that spoke. "Y..yeah I'm fine" she told the man nervously, her voice was soft. She bowed her head quietly "this place, its so..dark" she muttered half to herself and the other half to any one else that bothered to listen to her. She pushed her dark orange hair back from her face, and bit down the corner of her lip.

"I..I'm Miyuku Tanako" she said softly again, "and you are...?" she asked the man raising her eyebrows. She resumed looking back outside for a moment before turning back to her only single audience. All the people in this house were gorgeous, she hated the whole idea of being arranged married but with people looking like this how could any one disagree?

Koi looked over at him for a moment before stairing back at the floor. "Koi..." she finally answered after a long streach of silence. "My name is Koi... and I left for... good reason. Wait... interested?" she said, almost hesitently, just curling up even more in her own self. Koi looked at him, blinking lightly. She didnt know what made her so interesting... She wasnt all that great looking. Her eyeliner made her eyes look creapy and her pale complextion didnt help much either. Even her kimono wasnt all that fantastic, it was a custom job out of halloween fabrics in an attempt to rebel. It worked, at least with her family anyway. But internally - Koi was proud, oh so proud, of her unique style.

"Aaron, Nice to meet you Miyuku. Is it okay if I call you Miyu?" Aaron replied giving her a warm smile which would seem strange on someone with those looks. He cocked his head to the side and looked around the dark house,"Well, you get used to it after a while, but don't worry, I'll try to make this as enjoyable as possible for you!" He gave some sort of smirk, though he was trying to grin at her. Aaron is very pure, he won't force his crush to like him even if he was desperate.

Zefie walked over to another window and sat on the windowsill, staring up at the sky,"Well, might as well make this as fun as possible," She muttered sarcastically.

She took a step closer to him as he stated that his assumptions had hit the mark and then volleyed back at him. He was an interesting man and she wanted to examin him further just to see how much was a mask and how much was real.

"There is always the exception to the rule, but those are few and far between. They, too though look to the cover. Perhaps they see the flash and colour and it frightens them. It's something beyond their normal safe world and while they secretly yearn to reach out to touch it, they also fear they might get burned. However, that is an assumption. One thing I have learned though, everyone secretly has one thing that they consider, as we've begun to put it, 'flash and colour.' They either have, or want it. Even the most bland person has a little secret tucked away that fills them with that giddy glee you get when you finally manage to obtain the glitter, gaudy object of desire. You and I may look at it though and scoff, seeing it as something only filled with grays. It what makes people so interesting and assumptions amusing.”

Sabina stood toe to toe with him as she finished, waiting.

Miyuku laughed, "yeah its fine if you call me that" she told him with a smile, that was one of her favourite nick names that people often gave her. She remembered when she was little and her mother called her that she would meow in response. She smiled at Aaron, "thank you!" Miyuku said gently. "So, whats it like living here...what do you guys usually do for fun" Miyuku asked him shrugging, she wondered if they were all ruthless bloodsuckers.

((Since I'm late joining in can anyone update me?
Do the numbers go together for couples? I.E girl one and boy one go together as a couple or not?))

Kana turned around and looked at Lucus. "Well, where to? You'll have to be my guide, considering I really don't know where I am..." she said, sighing a little. "But I will." she said under her breath. She looked up and started walking, noticing that all the other people that were coming out of the room they had been trapped in before.

(@Musikfreak: Not very much. Some of the men have chosen who they're going after and most of the people are flooding out of the room now ^^))

"That depends...what hobbies do you have?" He asked her gently with a soft smile. He was surpised he was doing well so far with talking to this girl. Considering his shyness towards people he liked he was doing well though maybe it was because he wasn't sure if he liked her yet.

Cassady sighed as she looked around. She was a bit relieved that most of the people were gone. She hated the way all the girls were sulking. Didn't they know where they were! Cassady was estatic, They are vampries! Hah I knew they didn't sparkle! Nor are they ugly! She smiled looking at the few boys who were left they were all rather attractive. But she didn't care about that not yet anyway she just wanted to go explore.

Kana gently rubbed her arms and shrugged. "I usually spend my time playing with my pets...but you obviously don't have any..." she said, laughing awkwardly. "Umm...anywhere is fine." she said, struggling to smile. She was still incredibly uncomfortable with the whole situation. If she re-evaluated it in her head it wouldn't sound like the best situation. 'No mom, I'm fine. I'm walking alone with a vampire in a castle filled with hungry vampires. Oh, and I forgot, if I don't marry one of them I'll get slaughtered and thrown to hungry wolves,' she thought, laughing to herself. But she would never have to explain it to her mom, she would never even see her.

"No I have pets...." Lucus smiled, "They are wolves though...a bit deadly..." He smiled softly as they walked he decided to take her to the library. "I know you said you didn't like but I insist you see it at least...It's an amazing collection..." He smiled leading her to a huge set of double doors. He gave a small yawn as he pulled open them open with ease.

Kana followed closely behind, afraid that she would get hurt by someone or something else. When they arrived in the library, her eyes grew wide and she quickly flew across the room to the romantic novels. She would open one, read a few words, then open another, read a few words, and so on and so forth. "Woah..." she said quietly.

Aysel watched as some of the girls walked off, paired with vampires. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she sat on a leather couch, idly running her hand through her hair. She watched as the room gradually emptied, her violet eyes filled with slight anger. She stood up, pushing herself off of the black leather. Her black hair swished behind her as the quick motion disturbed it, and once again she scanned the room with her eyes, seeing a few dark shadows. Her eyes rested on each of the dark shadows for about a minute, knowing they were vampires.
Marcius frowned as he watched most of the girls leave the rooms. His anger at his father still burned in his mind, but he kept it in as he surveyed the room. Some of his brothers were going off with the girls, seeming to instantly pair off. He watched a few of the other girls, his pale blue eyes lingering on them as he assessed them. He knew they were all from different places, all with different backgrounds. And he coupled easily read some of their emotions, others were harder to tell.

Lucus smirked amused as he carefully closed the door. The library was his sanctuary. Few of his brothers came in and when they did they never bothered him. He smiled following after her, "Do you see why I like it?" He asked softly. He looked away feeling like he was sharing some big dark secret by showing her 'his' library.

Cassady hummed lightly to herself as she looked around the room. Though she was itching to explore the castle she was doing a fine job of that from where she sat. She looked at the remaining boys with a currious smile. She wondered how many of the legends were true. She swung her legs a bit as she tried to force herself calm. She knew she had to look like a hyper little bunny but she just couldn't help it. Aside from the having to marry this was the best thing that ever happened to her! She frowned at that. It was strange she always grew up thinking your life would be over if you got kidnapped but so far it had been the opposite. "Strange...." She muttered.

Kana carefully looked back as she saw how he shut the door. She nodded, reading some of the other books. "Yes, it's very peaceful and relaxing." she said. She knew she would be spending a lot of time in her after today. "So...thirty days, huh? And they don't want us to fall in love, but they want us to get married. I don't see how that's possible." she said, her voice trailing off.

Marcius watched as one of the girl's seemed to be bouncing on her toes. He smiled slightly, surprised at her obvious happiness. He was curious as to why he was so excited, so he watched her. She seemed to be in thought, and Mason raised an eyebrow. What a strange girl, he thought to himself. But that may be a good thing. He added to himself. His black hair hung slightly in his face, and he brushed out with a pale hand.
