Private:
Haseshi, Dooma
He was called mysterious, full of tricks and even wonderful by the holder of fascinated eyes. He was a living legend or a fear for the ones in the city, an amazing insane for the ones that know him and a master, for the servants. He would stay the days inside the house or at places that challenge the mind. But at this very moment he was on the living room, waiting…impatiently. He ha sent a letter to a new costumer, he was waiting for her. He was called Alain, the puppeteer extraordinaire.

The letter had taken its time finding the traveler. She had been making her way threw town and getting to know places. She was still unsure why she was taking so much time in this town but she was too drawn to stay to leave it. She had even been to a party. Something she never liked doing. She was a loner and now just the thought of being here and taking care of another made her a little wary. But still when the letter found her Dooma made her way towards the mansion.
She had laughed at the fancy writing of the man in green who had trusted a doll and locked box, Versteckt, on her. It seemed he good humored enough to write in green as well. She might was well get this over with. From what she had gathered at the party he would give her a key and this would unlock the box to the soul she would be taking care of and helping. She had brought the box along with her this time but had it hidden in a pocket under her cloak.

Alain was the kind that just couldn’t wait or stay unmoving for half a second, he was now playing with the cups in the balcony, turning them upside down or making towers, once in a while a maid should do some work.
He saw it. She was coming. She was a little away but was coming. He went to the door and opened it. Alain wouldn’t be doing this kind of job by himself, but once in a while, when someone interesting pops, it’s good to break the procrastinating chain and do something else.

Dooma watched from where she was at the edge of the courtyard as the familiar form pulled open the door. "Can't wait for me can he?" She asked her skull, who responded with a low growl and a series of bites. She shook her head and made a bow to the figure before glancing back at the road and with a slight smirk moved to follow the road. If he was so sure that she was coming for him then maybe she should make the aristocrat work for it as well. Why should she be the only one going threw the hoops?

Alain saw her and nodded his head, waiting for her to come closer. In his head, he was seeing lots of other things, some were irrelevant, and others were funny. He would laugh with himself sometimes when he had those, other times he would run away claiming “ I have found our next haltia!” or “ There’s a incredible sale!”.
When Dooma reached the door, he grinned. “ I was expecting you to come early, but it’s okay, come in, making a gesture for her to go inside”.

Dooma having found that Alain had not rush out to stop her from leaving hurried to buy a small cake before returning to the mansion and walking to the door. She would never pretend to understand the people of this place. They were all so hyper and happy. It was too odd to her.
At his complain about her not coming earlier she held out the cake. "This should make up for my lateness then wont it?" She moved inside and made a soft whistle. "You really do live all high and mighty don't you?"

“ Oh, cake!” Alain exclaimed “ But you didn’t have to apologize, actually, I were the one early. But don’t stay there outside, let’s come in, come in” He said gesturing her to go inside and heading into the hallway.
Walking into the hall he says: “ Thank you very much for the cake, mistress. But shall we take care of first things first?” He added grinning.

Dooma nodded and followed him in and down the hall. "Big place for one to live alone. I am sure you entertain many a person in here." Hearing herself addressed as mistress she laughed, "No need to be calling me that now. Dooma is fine." She looked around the fancy decorated palace. Man this place was huge. She took into account any place that could be used as an exit, just incase. "So what is this business that we must discuss? I assume it has something to do with the gems inside the boxes you have given to people. Everyone else seems to be really excited by them. But I must ask because a group of people wandered. Do the colors mean anything?"

“ Alone? I don’t live alone.” Alain grinned. “ I have my –two- servants and guests come frequently.” They reached a kind of living room. It had a great window that showed the side garden of the house and the endless forest in the horizon. There was a great table, some chairs and shelves with books. The table was set for a tea.
Alain pulled a chair for her. “ Okay, Dooma “ He grinned and took a sit, serving tea for the both of them. “ Business, business~ You come here to get the key to open the box, does it sound any interesting? And of course colors have a meaning! The green ones are the most amazing “ He added laughing. “ No, serious. Each color is an element.”

Dooma looked around the room. She was interested by the garden and forest she could see outside. She found more beuaty in that than in face and formal houses. But Alain's voice pulled her back and she watched him pull out a chair for her. "You really are all gentleness arn't you? Most men would never pull out a chair for the likes of me. I am here to do what is right by the soul you entrusted to me. I will set it on the right path and help it when I can without forcing it to my whim of right and wrong."
She sat down and watched him serve her tea. "I see. The three i have seen were not green. But I think that everyone is amazing in their own right don't you? Each story is interesting and special. And those three who have already open their boxes are more than excited for what is to come their way. They do not seem to be the slightest bit concerned for any trouble they might face. It is odd to me to be so willing and not worried to take in another's soul."
She looked at the tea in her glass wondering wither or not she should sip it. She would wait to see if her host did first. "Each color is an element...I see. Now would this be the basic elements or something more unique? If the first then that means that the girl who is frighten of me as a fire soul, red. The one who like odd drinks would most like have water, blue. And Yellow....that would could be hard to place if you are going with the basic elements. Yellow would be air no?"

“ But the peculiar ones are the best! How can one not fall interested in the uniqueness? Aside that I was born in the époque of etiquette and being gentleman were in fashion. Nice habits should always be flashy. “ Alain said in response to Dooma’s commentary.
“ Elements, yes~ elements! Yellow is air. We are not giving surreal and quanticum elements… at least not for just anyone.” He laughed.
Adding sugar to his tea and tasting it, he went head: “ Of course! All of them are extraordinaire in their own way. “ He said taking a cookie. “ You know, Dooma, a second chance is a rare trait. Lots of people die with out doing everything they wanted, and not all wishes are pure.Being a person capable of giving others a second chance had made me selective, I can’t just pick everyone but sometimes a corrupted wish will turn into Haltia.” Alain made a small pause taking another swallow of the tea. “ The great point it, the haltia chose it’s owner, so it’s not like we will be putting you in something you can’t handle” He made another pause. “ I hope so.” He laughed silently and grinned.
“ Now, if you are ready, shall we begin?” “ Oh, oh. Can I have cake before it it?”

Dooma nodded as she listened to his talking. She was glad she had guessed the elements right. How lucky she had been. She wondered now what her little soul would carry as his element. She had always been found of Earth but if greens were so interesting the odds of her one turning up green was rare. Either way we would enjoy seeing what she got more so now knowing the key to the colors.
She took a sip of the tea and though she would love to down the drink in sugar she did not know if sugar here was pricey or not and even if Alain could afford it she was not one to take advantage of the situation. "Please do enjoy your cake I brought it just for you." She laughs softly and brings out the small Versteckt from under her cloak and set it on the table to look it over wail Alain enjoyed his cake. "So this guy picked me...he must be out of his mind or very desperate. But I am sure that I will find out why he did soon enough...huh?"

“ Thank you, thank you, this cake is surely very tasty!” Alain said eating a piece of it alternately with tea. “Don’t be so hard about either yourself or the Haltia here. Not everything happens for a reason but if we can chose is because we have something in mind, isn’t it?” He said finishing his cake.
“ I will start now, is it okay?”
The landscape by the window went blurry and then all black. The room shacked like an earthquake was happening. Alain seemed to be completely indifferent about it and just went ahead eating another piece of cake. When everything stopped, by the window one could see a long street, to be precise it looked like the room was now in the very middle of the street.

Dooma listened to him and nodded. She was about to speak again when the world started to shake and change. She growled softly. Dang it the tea had been drugged. She took a slow breath and calmed her mind. It was alright this would just be a vision. And clearly the noble across from her had done this often.
When all went calm she looked at him, "You might want to let others know what is going on before you just throwing them into it. you are a very interesting fellow."

“ Oh?” Alain said having his attention pulled back to what was happening since he seemed to be pretty concentrated in his tea and cake. “ Usually my servants do this kinds of travel all alone, but I prefer to take the entire room with me, it’s more comfortable “ He grinned, standing up and straightening his jacket.
“ What do you mean ‘tell others what’s happening’, I just told you we were about to get the key to open your Verseckt! Maybe you should see a doctor? I am more than 20x older than you and I’m not forgetting things yet.” Alain went ahead to the door that, previously, headed to the rest of the mansion but now, it leaded to the very street they could see by the window. The surrenders were a nice city, specifically, a great house, almost sizing a mansion, even being located in a urban zone, the house was surrounded by a good garden.
“ What are we waiting?” He grinned, holding the door for Dooma and gesturing to go outside.
((please, tell me the dog's name and it's specie))
