A Phantoms Rose
I stood in silence, One corridor away Staring at the rose, The rose that it gave.
I held back a sigh, Holding the laugh in, Of my unbelievable scene, The unbelievable sin.
Its voice was so smooth, So kind and slow, I still can believe, I got a phantoms rose. Plot: A phantom came at night killing one you love, but still its charm one you over. It came to the woman as a sauve man, and to the men a beautiful woman. It left a rose and a note to different people, sending them to the same house. These people were of different races, demons, vampires, weres, and humans as well. The phantom was weaving a little game, how long could they last before they were eaten or insane. The phantom could fall in love, but that would be impossible. The phantom started it all, so could the phantom end it as well? Setting: New York City, New York. An old mansion that is well kept but still empty. Rules: Of course follow all of the Rules of the board. If you really want to take something 'far' be it violence or whatever, do it somewhere else. This is a Literate roleplay so I expect semi-long posts. Create a character and have fun. I shall be the phantom and another character as well. All races are welcome!! Characters The Phantom: AraDeNevada Penda Neduli: AraDeNevada Nicholas Kahn:~*Jadena *AKA* EtVL*~
And This Means What?The Phantom came to you in the shape of a girl/boy and kills the person you love, right in front of you. They charm you and leave you a rose, attached to the rose is an address, you go back for revenge or whatever reason you want. The Phantom is playing a game, she wants to see how everyone will react with each other. She will play mind games [/size]

[[ Hmmm. I'd like to join, if you'd permit. ]] {{Why would I deny you? Hehe, join away!}} Penda Neduli looked at the adress that lay on the tag of the rose and sighed. That phantom that gave her the rose, he was beautiful. Everything she dreamed of was him, her hand tightened on the rosebud as she pictured the mangled face of her father. He was all she had, her mother would never visit, she was just another one of her mothers illigement children. "Miss." Penda's breathing heavied as she felt tears come to her eyes. "Miss!"
"Yes?" Penda said looking up, pulling the black hood to her hoodie over her head as the rain started to pound.
"Your destination. 34 dollars and 12 twelve cents." The asian man said impatiently as she handed him two twenties, looking out to the night sky.
"Here." Penda said coldly as she handed him the money, "Keep the change." She opened the door to the car and walked out. This was going to be a quick trip, go in, kill the stupid creature in vengence, and then- SMACK. She almost fell over as she walked into a well-built man. "Hey, could you watch it?!"
{She ran into whomever wants to jump in. =]}

[[ Most excellent. Since we've already got a female vampire, I shall balance us out with a male werewolf. I'll most likely post the profile tomorrow, around 1 pm CST, after I get home from summer school. Lord knows I'm not going to be listening to Mr. Usher prattle on about Geometry, so that'll be a ripe "Creativity" session. ]]

[[ Oh, snap. MB; I misread the post. Looks like it'll have to be just d00dz for now. ]]
The man, a young man, did not budge when he was hit; he turned in a smooth way, so that his amber golden eyes came to rest on this woman. "I'm sorry miss. Didn't mean to be in the way...." He said in his deep and thick, baritone voice. He seemed to take less note of the rain though, clad in a black trench coat, and goth pants that looked like they were fresh from hottopic. A think black shirt, stretched across his hard, slightly toned chest was almost totally obscured by the trench coat. It simply seemed to be a black shirt, with ultra-bright white, and electric blue tribal designs on the front. His goth boots completed his dark look, as if the studded dog collar with chains around his neck, black goggles around his beanie-covered head, and various pentagram decorated bracelets didn't. He looked down, and notice the familiar piece of paper she was strangling to death, in a tightly balled hand. Though his expression didn't change, he stepped aside and unconsciously patted his coat's front pocket, to check and see if she hadn't filched it right from under him. It was not, but it was strange enough that she had one exactly like it. Opening it up in his hands and scanning over it again, he made double sure he was at the correct spot. "This is it.... No doubts about it..." He thought to himself.
Still, there was something about this place that was nagging at his instincts. And his instincts had never been wrong in almost 700 years.... Even in his human form, Aesmodius still liked to keep his bushy, gray and black tail, which hung unseen behind him, covered by his trench coat. The hairs stood up on it.

The Phantom stood in a living room watching through a small glass shard. She saw the two bump into each other through the shard, she recognized both of them. The girl more than the man, that girl, Penda Neduli...she was a powerful child. That man, she knew little of him, which made him a good candidate. She looked at the box in the center of the room, this will be the first room they see. This'll be a wonderful centerpiece.
"Well," She said her emotions on the rise once more as she scanned him with her eyes. Instantly she recognized the pentagrams. "You should pay more attention to your surroundings, bud." Her voice was like ice as she pushed past him angrily, clutching the Ankh and Bastet charm on her neck thinking, Mom, what's going on?
The Phantom looked back at her box as she heard the prayer, "Oh dear, this should be fun." She let out a cruel chuckle before letting her body dissappear into the darkness.

[[ I'm not fixed on a name yet. Toying with concepts. ]]
Adam spent another good while roaming up and down the street, double checking his adress, and location. That house was the only one that fit the picture, although one down the street did, vaguely. After checking the alternative house and meeting with no luck, he concluded that the odd, vandalistic mansion (which also reminded him of his younger, human days) was indeed where the woman from before had said she would meet him before.
Being partially wolf, he could not stop getting the nagging sensation that the place was bad news. Something lingered in the air, and it wasn't the bitter salty smell of the woman from earlier's tears, which still lingered where she'd stood. After taking out the paper and re-inspecting it for the 501st time that day, he sighed, and gave in to whatever fate had in store for him. He kept it in hand, as he knocked on the heavy, stained solid-oak doors that hid whatever was inside. Something flitted beyond in the shadows; a barely perceptible movement, which he caught by luck alone, since he could see pretty much nothing; the stained glass barred his view.

{{Sorry Sin, nothing against you but this is a literate RP. Sowwwy}}
Penda watched as he knocked, her hands folded over her chest as she started to hum 'Hold On'. There was no answer from the door and her patience was running thin as she pushed past the man again. She pounded on the door hard but still only silence followed, she looked up at the man, there was something about him. The aura around him made him different from other people she's encountered.
"Who'd he get?" She asked the man looking at him as she remembered the suave man from the night before. Her voice was no longer mean and cold, but smooth and caring. "Brother? Sister? Friend? Parent?...Lover?" She looked at the door as there was no answer still, "Alright, this is annoying." Her hand reached for the large door handle as she opened the door stepping in uninvited. She paused as she looked around the room.
It was beautifully decorated and well kept. It was designed in a Victorian style that was dark but still entrancing to her eye. The room was well lit so the chandelier above sent a rainbow of color into the dark corners. In the center, directly below, a little box sat on a crystal table, three couches surrounding the table. The wood was painted gold and beautiful red velvet cushions.

Raphael stood in the doorway, mildly unimpressed; humans were so predictable. Their tiny lifespans, their insurmountable impatience. He sighed, rolled his eyes, but decided that he may as well enter, if simply to share blames if they got in trouble for breaking and entering. Heavy boots making deep "p-clomping" noises as they hit, he walked as well behind her, and shut the door, to keep the rain from ruining the extravagant rug only steps from the door. After taking a long, hard moment to familiarize himself with the interior for caution's sake, he relaxed. "S'cuse me miss, but do you know who the owner of this place is, and why they're summoning random people in?" He asked, producing the now wet piece of paper from his coat pocket again.

(I hope you guys don't mind if i rp in first person.)
I stood outside a large house. It was ominous and it was even worse with the pouring ran. I was dressed up in my usually clothes so it kept me from getting soaked. I was wearing a black duster with blue jeans and a black shirt underneath. A bit Gothic but I was a vampire so no one would probably think twice. I also had a hat on. It was in a way a cowboy hat you could say. All in all I looked a bit western for New York City.
I looked again at the address on my little slip of paper and then back up to the address on the house. Yep this was the place. I had been called here presumably to take an inheritance from my dear friend who had just passed on. Murdered actually. I intended to find her murderer after I settled this.
I didn't want money or anything. It would be a cold reminder of my friend. I just hoped her little girl was doing OK. She was living with her grandparents since her father had actually been a rapist. A dead rapist at that. I caught him in the act and literally ripped him in half.
I took a deep breath and almost choked. There had been a werewolf here. The smell was strong and sickening. I held back a gag as I walked up the steps and knocked on the door. I waited patiently. I had all the time in the world. There was no need to be impatient.

{Go right ahead. }
Penda closed her eyes as she heard the door close and waited for some other noise than his wet boots. There was none, but this was the right house. She could feel whatever it was that was doing this. She took a deep breath as he spoke, "Please, don't call me Miss." She said stepping a little more into the room looking at the box. "And...I don't think I know who this thing is."
Instantly she felt another species enter the area and she looked at the door. "Let him in." She quickly said just before the person knocked. "There's another one." She said walking over to the center of the table looking at the box.
The Phantom stood directly above them on the next level of the mansion, her head tilted slightly as she watched the woman observe the box. She let out a chuckle as she watched the girl and man. She was bossy. The Phantom smiled thinking aloud, "Open the box, dear."

[[ For the first time between us, I am confused. What exactly is your character, and what is me and Jadena's connection to it all? ]] [[Well, it depends on which character? Cuz, Penda...er....well look at her profile, and The Phantom will be revealed later. And, the connection is that practically, the Phantom came at night, killled a person you loved, charmed you, left you a letter with an adress, all because the Phantom is playing ...game. I'm really not so sure what your asking.}}

[[[ Well, that clarifies two of the major things; 1.) I didn't know she was a god, and 2.) What Wraithe wants with us. still, I don't understand one part, but I guess it'll be revealed with time, like you said.... ]]]
Adam opened the door as he was told, and allowed the other (who seemed to be reacting oddly) in. He turned, and then began to walk around the room, looking for anything that might tell them what was up in the house. All roads led to the box at the center of the room; he still had some nagging supsicions about that box.

Finally some one answered the door. I was about to thank him when i caught his scent. I immediately held my breath so I didn't get to sick. Ugh. He was the werewolf i had smelt. I was about to snarl at him but he just turned around and walked back into the house. I looked at him confused. He hadn't seemed to notice i was a vampire.
That was very strange. Vampire's and werewolves are mortal enemies. I wanted to rip him apart but one i couldn't go in the house. I hadn't been invited. I couldn't pass the threshold. Two he was obviously a guest in this house as i would be when i entered and i would not kill a guest in a house which i didn't own.
I stood there uncomfortably and made a small coughing sound. I was hoping to get the attention of the female I saw standing and staring at a strange box on the table in the middle of the room. "Excuse me but would you be so kind as to invite me in." I said. I wanted to get in and get the will settled as soon as possible so i could hunt down my friend's murderer.

"The threshold rule....?" David wondered to himself. It was amusing to watch him shift from foot to foot at the door still, waiting to be let in. His scent, (which smelled like a mix of potpourrie, death, wet glue, and a surgeon's OR,) now began to register. Adam had only met a vampire once before in his life, back sometime around 250 A.D, again in what would later be scotland. It wasn't exactly a confrontational affair, but it was out looking for him, though there were so many dirty farmers there at the time, that it was thrown well off long enough for him to flee. There was only one "Human" here though, and he was rusty at fighting. He sat in a chair that did not leave his back to it, as precaution, then waited....
