Arnie: "What? Me? I am always well behaved. It's not my fault if tno one is there when I'm bring good." I walk up the stairs, past movie star elite and no names alike and throw open the doors. "Right this way, ladies and gents."

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:34 pm

Styler: I rolled my eyes, walking next to Arnie, looking around the room to just see a wave of white. Whoa.
"I should have come wearing red or something; that would have been fun..." I shook my head, looking at the top of the stairs to see the whole place; it didn't look cheap.

Ilia: "Thanks Oli," I nodded before shutting the door.
Okay, Oli defiantly had the cheapest, rustiest little car around here, especially amongst the limos... Talk about making an entrance, eh?
Just try and act normal...well, not your normal but normal normal, Ilia, just make sure that you don't squeal at every other thing, okay?

Arnie: "Damn, I use to think this is what heaven would look like. Funny if you think about how close we are to hell right now." I let out a low whistle as I walk into the room. I honestly can't think if one person I've seen around LA that isn't here. Hell, if this is what she does for a funeral, what are her birthdays like? Sheesh! I notice Echo and Io sitting at a table in the corner and nod towards them. For all the white, I had already noticed one thing: Castellos and Prometheus to the right, Lavergnes and their associates the the left. It was the oblivious who floated in between.

Sasha: I gulp as I find our table near the front of the room. I smell Castellos everywhere, and the hairs on the back of my neck have begun to stand. I click my tongue and soon one of Louis' cats, a hairless cat named Pride, hops up on the table. I pet him as my agitation grows. Tonight won't end well.

Styler: "Arnie, stay nice for the night, eh?" I tapped his back before taking a seat at a table, the one next to the girls that gave me the bag, the one that Jace was still holding as he was told.
The split was completely obvious, but I guess it was nice of them to let us in here t least, but still this was one weird looking funeral, the all white instead of black. Half of LA must be here though, but then again the Lavergnes were pretty much the head of this place.

Ilia: Where do I go now? I walked in though everyone seemed near enough split down the middle: Lavergnes and Castellos, it was all too obvious, even to someone who didn't get involved in all that.

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:56 pm

Jace : I don't go in because theres limo trouble. Thankfully for them i'm part mechanic as well as part snooze-fest. I strip of my jacket and shirt and slide under the thing as best i can, wondering briefly what was going on.

sorry i keep leaving >.< im edting stuff for my new story

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:00 pm

Arnie: "I'm a freakin angel," I mutter as I light up a cigarette. A camera goes off and I almost curse. Io is playing paparazzi again. I swear she wouldn't know anything existed unless it was on film...

Echo: I lean back in my chair, letting my pure white floppy hat obscure one of my eyes. "How nice to see everyone again. I hope that it wasn't too hard to find us in all the white." I carefully take a sip of tea before placing it back on it's saucer. "I hope you still have Io's present?"

Louis: "Eh? What's she doing here?" Sasha looks in the direction I'm pointing in when I spot the grocery store girl. Recognition instantly hits her face and she tried to wave the girl over. "Hey...um, miss!" she calls. I curse under my breath and tip my top hat over my eyes.

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:06 pm

No worries, I'm going through book things at the moment (re-writing it from scratch after 30,000+ words because it went a-drift from the main story line and because I think that I can do better Razz

)

Styler: "Our butler is outside with the limo at the moment; he's got it. What's actually in there though? I haven't look yet..."
I looked to the girl with the tea, me now craving something to drink, maybe something with alcohol but still, something like thta would be nice.

Ilia: Thank God.
I nodded, walking over to the table which the girl sat, taking a seat before bringing anymore attention to myself, I didn't need that in a place like this, especially with all these people, half wanting booze. It was a tough life hearing all these secret whispers and desires for sure; I'd rather it was quiet; a word I've never had the courtesy to hear. I closed my eyes slightly, holding my head whilst with the growing numbers, it grew larger, louder. I needed to get away from this.

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:10 pm

o-o omg, i dont think i could ever do that
im much too lazy x3

Jace : "damn it all to hell," I curse when oil slicks down onto my cheek. I finish tightening the last bolt and then push myself out from under the limo. A valet is looking at me oddly. I arch a brow at him and he blushes and turns away. Sighing i try wiping the grease off my face.
the things i did for these people..

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:12 pm

Yeah, well, I'm passionate about this thing Wink

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:14 pm

Sasha: I smile abd pull a flask out of Louis' coat. "Here, take some of this. I normally hate to get drunk, but according to Aunt Elsa, it helps with certain...problems." I look up at Louis and smile, slowly starting to feel at ease. "Don't you have a dhow to put in tonight?" I ask as I pet Prode. He frowns but nods. "After all the guests arrive. I have to make sure my puppets are here."

Io: "Some monster blood," I pipe from my spot. I lower my camera and take another swig of vodka. "As well as three hairs that didn't match that of the blonde family. Some of the child's hair as well, found in chunks. She is in a nasty condition right now.."

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:24 pm

Ilia: I looked at the flask, picking it up in my grip as I unscrewed the top. Eh, if Aunt Elsa says it helps... I took a swig, my taste buds numbing slightly.
"What's in here?" I put it down soon after, screwing the top back on, Thanks."
My eyes turned to guy whose flask it was; he seemed similar.
"Are you vegetarian by chance?" one way of getting in without being obvious, hopefully making the guy blow.
My thoughts returned to these 'puppets'; I never was a fan of them, put her words seemed slightly evil, or like that had a secret meaning behind them or something.

Styler: "I've been carrying around body bits and bobs in a bag?!" I snapped.
That was just cheek to be honest, but monster blood? Surely not.
"Monster? Really? And was she found then?!"

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:26 pm

Jace : People say bad things come in three. A child died today, the limo broke down and my black coat was ruined...that was three. I don;t curse or yell or anything this time though. Instead i go over to one of the other butlers around and ask if they have something i could wear for the time being. This is the only perk of being a butler, because all butlers are nice to other butlers. the man with the hat and mustache combo lead me to his master's limo where he lent me one his master's old, unwanted dress shirts. It was a dark royal blue. It looked a little odd on me until we found a tie and jacket.
"Ill bring this back at the end of the night," I promised the man, suddenly feeling like i was Cinderella and he was my fairy godmother.
The man told me not to worry about it and i bid my farewells so i could go see if i was needed to do anything else back inside.

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:30 pm

Echo: I lower my cup again, this time a little harder than before. "No, she was not. This was all Io, or anyone else for that matter, found. Domingo is having a fit."

Louis: "No, I'm afraid not," I say simply. Crap, if she asks for those meatless thingies back, I'm screwed! I stand up and tip my hat. "I think most of our audience is here. If you'll allow me to go get set up..."

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:35 pm

Styler: "But that's typical him..." I smirked, "No, the child!"

Ilia: "Okay, fine," I sat back on my seat slightly.
Set up? Puppets? There must be something here, but at least the whispering had seized slightly. I let out a sigh as I fiddled up the necklace about me, thinking about whether I should have dragged Oli here, hey, at least he'd find a way of setting up a karaoke or something like that, even if it was a funeral. That's a point: why the hell was I at a funeral? The last one I went to was one for my uncle and that must have been when I was maybe seven? A good twelve years then...

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:39 pm

Jace : Styler wasn't far from the entrance. I slipped into the seat besides him, suddenly feeling like a party crasher. "Hey," I say.

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:41 pm

Styler: "What's with the new shirt? And is the limo fixed? Man, we need to get a new one; it's falling to pieces..." I muttered under my breath, looking back at the girl, "Y'know, the one that got murdered?"

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:42 pm

Sasha: "I've seem this maybe a thousand times," I sigh. "If you don't mind, I have certain duties to attend to now..." Like speaking with some of the Castellos right after the ceremony. I gulp some as I start yo' stand, Pride still in my hands. "I too have to get ready for something."

Louis: I quietly wheel out a large black suitcase into the center if the ballroom and the room goes silent. I clear my voice. "If I can get a few volunteers to help me with my performance? Unless someone would just like to step right up...?" I move my fingers as though to say "come here," and people start move against their will towards me.
(Anyone wanna be part of the show?")

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:42 pm

Jace : "Old one got ruined by oil, this is just going to have to do for now. Borrowed it from another butler.." Um..and it smelled familiar...um..hmm.. "Anyway, its fixed," I say then turn my attention to the same thing he did.

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:48 pm

(I'm good with watching Wink

But you can if you want)

Styler: "Oh right, I think there's some carpet cleaner underneath a seat that cleans up oil nicely," I whispered before turning to the guy in the middle, along with a few people walking up; shows weren't really my thing.

Ilia: I simply nodded as the rest of the room went quiet, some people walking up, almost ghost-like. Weird. I crossed my legs slightly, leaning on the table to make sure that I don't fall asleep. Yes, I should have had an early night last night but to be honest it was the hottest game of Twister ever.

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:50 pm

by **Gaby_Babo-Unnie:3!~** Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:52 pm

Jace : He could have said that earlier. My attention is once again stolen by a certain, familiar-looking gentlemen. Well, to tell the truth i wouldn't call him that.
"Oh, this is going to be something." I say to myself, a little amused.

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:59 pm

Arnie: Damn it, damn it, damn it! What the hell is this?! I unconsciously stub out my cigarette abd Echo follows me out onto the floor, Io having dropped her bottle of vodka.

Louis: "Ah, how do we honor the nearing death of such a woman? One who has had so many children, not just those she herself had, but across the world? One who has survived an unfortunate accident in which she lost almost all of her family, including thirteen of her brothers and sisters, and yet was still able to prevail through life? The grateful fairy godmother of LA? Someone with such a legacy must be commemorated in only the most honorable of ceremonies. And so, I ask, how about a witch hunt?" Laughter echoes throughout the room, but only on the Lavergne side. "First, let's see if we can sniff out our witch." I open up my black case and reveal a tangle of puppets, all of which resemble the people up here. I shake them and all the people stand yo' straight. I whisper tithe dolls- "Sniff her out."- and suddenly they arre like beasts, running about the room, sniffing everything, jumping on tables. Finally, I see a Prometheus lavky pick up a adolescent girl by the hair. "Witch!" she yells. "I smell a witch!"

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:09 pm

Ilia: I honestly didn't know how to react, the whole thing seemed a littlw weird to me: the dolls, the hunt, the laughter. How come I had no idea about all this yet everyone seemed to be enjoying it?
Through it all I just fiddled with Oli's necklace, the smooth feathers and chunky crystal really soothing me, but I didn't know whether it was really a good luck charm thing or just my imagination running wild again.

Styler: I couldn't stop laughing; Arnie acting like a beast! Honestly, this was going onto YouTube!
My phone held under my jacket, I filmed the whole process, his every sniff and flying saucer, everything.

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:13 pm

Louis: "Good job, dear! For that, you can be the judge. The Smith boy will play the executioner, of course, the three of you shall be the jury. You two will make a lovely couple, so you can be the girl's parents. And you, Castello," I grin. "You can be her lover. Now then, bring the girl here."

by Pavonine Lights Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:21 pm

Louis: Tonight, ladies and gents, we will tell the unfortunate tale of a girl who got into a bit of trouble when some of her friends ended up in the gallows." I shake some of the puppets of those I hadn't named yet and they all collapsed to the ground. "Poor thing, poor thing, she had them killed out if hatred, out of longig, out of envy, and now their blood is in her soul. But maybe she can be freed if only she chooses right! Tell me, child." I pick out an old coin from my pocket. "What do you choose, to run or face your fate?" Her eyes widen and she looks around at the laughing room. "T-to run. I'm pretty good at that." "Tiffany is a track star, Lavergne, good luck with that!" "Ah, but fate is faster than all the speed anyone could ever possess. Heads or tails?" "Tails!" she says, confidence rosing after her father's outburst. I flip the coin and hide the results from her. I whisper something to the puppets and they all nod like bobble heads. "Good, and now our story can begin."

by **OpenTheDoor** Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:26 pm

Styler: Lover? I went into complete laughter, full-bellied like Santa. If only the video was of better quality; it is a shame that it couldn't be so. I was ready though to do something if he did anything to him, I mean, he still was my little brother and with the blood and hair in that bag then I need to make sure my scape goat is safe, eh?
"Where's the bag I gave you earlier?" I whispered to Jace.

Ilia: This was getting freaky. I wanted the leave. I needed to leave. Sure I didn't want to be a party pooper, but I wasn't comfortable with all this; I didn't like paranormal things and fantasical happenings.
