Rayne & Sean
...in a limosuine driving down a winding road in London...
... Rayne leaned over and rested her head on Sean's sholder. sighing she took his hand and laced her fingers through his. "Are we there yet?" she asked him.
"No... Not yet my dear," Sean said soflty as he rested his cheek on her head. "But we'll be there soon."
"Yay!!" Rayne squealed, sitting up quickly, almost falling off the seat. "Then we can get out of this ridiculous car. Honestly, who ever thought of a limo... they're so impracticle. You can't park them anywhere," Rayne leaned back into the seat and streached out.
"But doesn't it just make you feel so powerful?" Sean said laughing as he tickled Rayne. She began squeeling just as the car lurched to a stop. "Oh," Rayne said softly as she reached over to open the door. "Well, here we are," she said as she opened it.

 Seth & NadiyaThe snow fell lightly, but with the promise of eventual strength, as the bus stopped in front of the well-lit tavern. The driver grunted and adressed a thin dark-haired boy and growled, "This is as close as I take ya' to tha' bloody mansion! You'll have ta walk th' rest of th' way."
Seth nodded and gathered his bag; he stood and got off the bus as fast as he could, into the snowy street. The sun was barely filtering through the clouds, and it was cold. He almost didn't notice the girl getting off behind him.
She said, "Hey!" and he was forced to aknowledge her existence. He turned and studied her for a moment; she looked the nosey type, and that was the last thing he needed. Still, he paused in his steps and raised an eyebrow; it was all he could do not to run. It felt like everyone he met knew his secret. He felt terrible and nervous.
She caught up to him, and he realised she was not a bad-looking girl. She was thin and dressed 'punk,' he supposed, although he never really understood the point. Her hair was long and red, and she wore it up in twin pigtails. "I heard, I mean, you're going to that mansion too, right?"
He nodded; he found it hard to speak to her. He found it hard to speak to anyone, these days.
"I'm headed there for Holiday, myself. Mind if we walk together? I'm Nadiya, by the way, Nadiya Cross," she said, with an air of snobby finality.
Seth cringed. Walk together, walk together, ugh. He didn't want to but found himself nodding anyway. "I-I'm Seth." Don't give her a last name, don't give her a last name, don't give her anything that she can tell him, he warned himself furiously.
"Seth! Well, I like it. Are you cold? I brought an extra hat, you look cold; I'm not surprised, you're hardly wearing anything, and it's freezing out here! Jeez. Why are you here?" She asked, and for one second Seth froze, thinking he'd have to come up with an answer, but she continued as if the question was never asked. "I'm here visiting my twin sister; God knows we don't get on, but that's life for you, don't you think? I've been wanting to get away anyway, and our father is worried sick about her, so..."
At that point, Seth realised she wasn't going to shut up, so he nodded absentmindedly every few minutes as he tuned her out. The large mansion slowly came into view as they walked.

 Mael & TuesdayTuesday laid on the bed and flipped through a book with a bored expression on his face, but it was an expression he wore so often that Mael didn't even notice anything out of the ordinary as she ran into their room, still shivering from the snow, and practically slammed the door behind her.
"Ugh, I don't like him! There's something weird about him, and I'm going to figure out what it is! He just acts so normal!" she grumbled, and Tuesday glanced up with a small smirk on his face.
"Isn't that why we're here, idiot?"
"Yes!" she shrieked, "But I don't have time for a rebuttal! I have to go help Olga greet guests! I wasn't made for this kind of work," she said as she pulled off the coat and her apron with one swift motion and tossed them in a corner. She dragged the chilly wet maid's dress over her head and ran into the closet with nothing but her shift on to get a new one, all in front of the bemused Tuesday.
"I think Olga can handle it for five seconds while you get yourself together, Mael."
The redhead reappeared fully clothed once again, and shook her head. "Tues, you know Olga has a hard enough time with her english as it is. She'll freak without me." She ran over to the peroxide blond, kissed his cheek hastily, and ran back out of the room with a small, "See ya!"
Tuesday shook his head and went back to his book. There was no handling that girl. He couldn't believe she was older than him.
---
Mael ran down the stairs and arrived at the front door just in time to see Olga ringing her hands frantically. "I see guests coming up front step and I am not knowing what to do with them! I am so happy to see you!"
Mael smiled and peered out the front door, and sure enough, there were people getting out of a sleek limosine. She opened the door wider, put on her best, '********' smile, and said, "Welcome to Frey Manor, home of Lucien Frey and open to you this winter as your pretty place of refuge for the holidays! Please, make yourself at home. Can I get your names and reservations?"

 CooroCooro hummed happily to himself as he put the fresh bed sheets onto one of the freakishly large beds in one of the guest rooms. How lucky he was this year to find a place that would not only give him a place to sleep but it was gonna feed him as well! The boss seemed nice enough and didn't even bat an eye when Cooro showed up looking for work, this place was almost perfect. Maybe he would stay until winter was completely over... that would be nice. Snow was too cold. The only problem with this place was his friend couldn't come inside, well he hadn't exactly asked if his bird friend could come inside but... Cooro padded over to the window and looked around for the black crow. Yes, there he was sitting in one of the nearby large trees watching the people get out of their car.
"People?" Cooro pressed his nose to the cold window pane and looked excitedly at the sleek black limousine. "What a cool car! I wanna see it!"
Cooro jumped away from the window and grabbed the large pile of dirty sheets off the floor near the bed. Er... Where was he supposed to put these again? Cooro shrugged the thought off quickly in his excitement over the car and wobbled over towards the bedroom door, the pile of sheets was awful big and hard to see over. After a moment Cooro finally managed to turn the door handle and push the door open with his foot. Forgetting to close the door behind him Cooro moved down the hallway towards the staircase, if he didn't hurry the cool car was going to drive away!

Name: Zule Renaud Race: Canadian! Role: Arriving Guests Age: 18 Occupation: a traveling pharmacist Location:Coming from Berlin Brief History: Zule recently became head of his fathers pharmaceutical company, that's a medicine clinic, after his father retired. He decided that his first action was to set out and try to find some new herbs and other medicinal ingredients. He has since left Canada, traveled all around the US and recently flew to Germany. Now he is on his way back towards London. He has yet to find the new plant he is looking for. Personality: Zule likes to help people out as much as he can. He is very caring and worried for his younger sister and, because of this, he doesn't enjoy himself as much as he should. He acts serious and focused in everything he does, from conversations to work. Zule has a kind heart but always seems down because he is constantly thinking about everything. Other Random Details: Zule has a younger, adopted sister named Lili. He argues with her a lot because because of their conflicting attitudes. However, it is clear that he cares for her very much. Physical Description: Zule has blond, slightly long hair and hazel eyes. He wears a red coat fairly often and black pants with it. He also has black and white shoes to go with his pants. (Just take away the wings and weapon and the picture pretty much defines him) Picture:  Color: Dark Red

Z u l e
Zule continued his walk along a white and green forest. The snow was beautiful, but it made the air terribly cold. To one side of him was endless white and the other had a forest. Neither of them had seemed to be a good place to walk in, so he chose to walk in between. He was worried that Lili might freeze to death if the stayed out any longer, however. Luckily, he had heard of a mansion somewhere out in these area that was acting as a hotel. That was their destination, but he was still worried about the Lili. It might take to long to get there.
As those negative thoughts wondered into his mind, Zule looked off into the distance at this moment and saw the oasis in the white desert. A mansion was a short distance away. Outside of it, he could barely make out the cars running outside. They’d be there soon, but Zule was unsure if it would be soon enough.
Now he regretted leaving his car in Canada. He had originally thought huffing it would be worth while and give him more of a chance to check for the plants he was searching for. Now it seemed foolish to think that during the winter.

 Lili Renaud" Ack!" Lili yelped as she plummeted face-first into the deep snow. The snow this time of year was the best. The surrounding landscape was covered in it like a glistening blanket. White tufts of it were caught in the air when the wind gently blew and the sound of it crunching underneath her shoes was just delicious. Sometimes if she was really lucky Lili could even watch a pile of it slip off a frozen tree or roof onto the innocent person below. Lili was finally yanked from the snow-pile by her stiff looking brother Zule and she shook her head wildly back and forth sending ice chunks flying in every direction. " I know I know..." Lili waved a mitted hand at Zule carelessly. " Pay more attention..." It was probably too late now anyway though. The snow was completely stuck all over the front of her body and she could already feel the wetness of it coming through her clothes. Brrr.... She shivered slightly as she attempted to brush some of it off. If she was lucky the clothes she had in her pack would still be dry and the place where Zule said they were staying wasn't too far off. Lili wiggled in her shoes happily, at the village or town, or whatever there had been so many strange things being said about this place. It was super-lucky that Zule wanted to stay here! Maybe she would even be able to find something cool...

 Michiru Michiru grinned like an idiot as the retro cab pulled to a stop at the gate of the mansion. The driver stared at him as if to say, 'Get out now or tell me to turn around while you still can, kid.'
The brunette simply laughed and said, "Thank you, kind cab driver, sir. You will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts!" The man stared, almost fearfully this time, at the boy he'd dubbed 'insane' in his mind.
Micchi paid his cab fare with a generous tip. The driver's eyes widened, and Micchi waved a hand carelessly. "I figure it's best to start off the holidays right, eh? Cheerio!"
He fetched his bag from the seat next to him and bounded through the open gate, slightly curious as to the reason for the mystery behind the mansion, but mostly hungry, since he hadn't eaten since breakfast. He strode right past the limousine and up to the front step, where other guests were apparently being greeted by a small girl with a bright grin on her face.
He decided to step back and wait his turn for check in. And what a cute maid! he thought merrily.

Nana
Nana Osaki looked out the window of her car and shivered in the cold. It seemed that winters in London were just as bad as winters in Japan. She reached over to her bag and pulled out the scarf Ren had lent her. As she snuggled into the seat with the scarf on and smiled at the memory of the day Ren had gotten it as a present from one of their fans.
"Excuse me sir," Nana said leaning forward to speak to the driver. "How far are we?"
"We are there ma'am," The driver said smiling over his shoulder.
Nana thanked and paid him as she gathered her bags and opened the door staring in awe at the giant mansion.

Rayne and Sean
"Umm... Rayne Sands and Sean Danielsen... my manager said he put the reservation under the name McEwin," Sean said smiling to the peppy little maid. As the maid nodded and motioned for them to follow her into the house, he took Raynes hand and allowed her to walk in front of him... okay it was mainly so he could check out her butt, but....
A short while later when Rayne and Sean were alone in their room, she turned to him with a smirk on her lips. "I believe we are the first two to use this room... what do ya say we christen it properly?" Rayne walked over and put her arms around his neck.
"Sounds like a brilliant idea," Sean agreed and began to kiss Rayne when there was a knock at the door...

Seth & Nadiya "Oh my god, Seth, we're almost there. What a cute little mansion! Well, not that little, now is it? Have you heard all the crazy rumors about it?" the girl asked. She hadn't really stopped talking the whole time they walked, but it appeared as if she actually did want an answer to this question. Seth swallowed thickly. "Uh, y-yeah. I-I've heard some. Nothing t-too bad though." It was all he could muster. Nothing in that mansion could possibly be as bad as he'd experienced, he silently affirmed. He couldn't help shaking a bit as they approached, but the girl must have written it off as the chill, because she was still chattering merrily. "...sucking, and I was like, 'No way!' and he was all, 'Would I lie to you?' but of course I didn't know him but for that thirty minutes at the platform, so of course I have no idea. But, I mean, the price is so low, you have to wonder, you know?" She shook her head severely. "All I know is, I'm not getting anywhere near the owner in any place where there aren't many people. My sister works for him; I don't know how she does it!"Now here was a point of interest. "H-how long?"She turned wide-eyed, as if surprised he was actually contributing to the conversation. "Excuse me?"Seth breathed slowly. This was a lot harder for him than he thought it would be. He hated new people. "H-how long has your, your sister... worked f-for him?" Breath, Seth, he thought heavily, There's nothing wrong with this girl save for her incessant chatter, which actually for you is a good thing."Oh," she frowned. "I'm not sure. A couple months? Like I said, we don't really get on- Ah! Here we are."

Mael & MichiruMael sighed. She'd just finished leading the newest guests, a couple of punk rockers, to their rooms and running back down the stairs for more when she spotted the boy, Cooro, eyeing the limousine with awe.
Exasperated, she shouted, "Cooro! The master wants to see you. I think he's in his study. Don't keep him waiting!" She watched him scurry off and returned to the next guest. She plastered the smile once more, and spewed her greeting again. "Hello, and welcome to Frey Manor, home of Lucien Frey and..." she dropped the pretenses, because this boy was grinning madly. "Oh, obviously it will be your hotel for the next few days. Sorry about the over zealous greeting; the master insists we please the guests, but I feel alright being honest with you, you seem like an honest person. Name and reservation?"
Micchi continued to grin. "Oh, no problem, chum. Name's Michiru Nishikiori, and I'll be staying as long as I'm allowed."
The maid grinned back. "Well then! I'll find you a room. Right this way, sir!"
"Right-o, mate!" He picked up his bags and followed her into the foyer and up the stairs.

...Nana Rayne & Sean... Nana inserted the key into the door and pushed. She was greeted by two young people making out. "What the hell?" Nana shouted. the couple sprang apart. "Who are you?" the guy asked. "Why should I answer you?" Nana spat. "You two are making out in my room!" "What? Your room?" the girl turned and looked Nana up and down. "We were escorted here by some maid chick in a silly little outfit. This is our room. Who the hell are you?""I am Nana Osaki," Nana announced proudly. "Umm.... Am I supposed to know you?" The man asked. "Yes... I am a famous musician in Japan," Nana said firmly. "Ohhhh... Famous in Japan huh?" the girl smirked. "Well I'm Rayne Sands and my latest CD was platinum in four countries." Rayne put her hands on her hips. "And I'm Sean Danielsen and my last CD went platinum in two countries," Sean shrugged. "Well, I'm so glad you're famous, but this is still my room," Nana said. "Oh... Yeah... Well lets go find the maid lady and sort this out...." Rayne stomped out of the room. Nana and Sean followed. Rayne lead the way down the hall and found the maid girl showing some guy to his room. "Ummmm....Excuse me.... we were placed in the same room," Rayne said tapping the young maid on the shoulder. "This isn't the maid who showed me my room. It was the tall maid with the funny accent." Nana said.

Mael "Oh! I'm terribly sorry; that was Olga, poor girl speaks more english than she allows herself to understand. She gets nervous. I would offer to upgrade you both," she laughed, "but these are really the nicest rooms in the house. Since you two were here first, how about I find you another room?" she asked, adressing Nana.
As the Japanese woman nodded, Mael turned back around to smile at the young man from earlier. "If you need anything at all, feel free to track me down, 'kay?" He nodded and grinned enthusiastically, and she winked, then motioned for Nana to follow her a bit down the hall.
"Here we are. I hope that wasn't too much trouble," she said with a small smile, and she handed Nana the key to her new room.

CooroCooro was looking at the long limousine wide eyed. In his whole entire life he had never seena car so long. How is the word did they strech it like that? Maybe there was some sort of machine that held one end while the other end...
"Cooro!"
Cooro jumped in surprise and tried to look over the pile in his arms for who was yelling at him. It was the unhappy girl who scared him, she always talked nice, but simetimes Cooro saw her working with a really mean, dark face. "It's not my fault! I wanna put 'em away but I don't know-"
Cooro stopped as he realized that she wasn't listening, in fact she looked quite distracted. Well there were lotsa people here today. Cooro smiled and rolled back on his heels thoughtfully. The cook would probably make more food now that there were more people, what would dinner be?
"-study. Don't keep him waiting!" The scary maid snapped and bustled off.
"Eh...?" Cooro wobbled away confused. What had she said? He sorta stopped listening somewhere in the middle. Oh! Maybe these sheets went in the study! Cooro sighed in relief, these things were getting to be a pain to carry around. As quickly as he could without tripping or ramming into someone Cooro started to make his way to the study.
