(((Okay, ready guys? Let's do this.)))
She awoke with a start, but as to why, she was unaware. Her glasses had fallen from her face previous to her awakening, so that couldn't have frightened her into consciousness. Maybe there was no reason behind this happening at all.
Now that she thought about it, was there any reason for her being here? As far as she was concerned, she may be a hostage for some secret organization or maybe they did this for kicks. She nearly laughed at the thought of her being a ritual sacrifice.
When the film cleared from her hazel eyes, she looked around the room as she slowly sat up. It was night.
She stood and made her way to the tall window. There was a bay window seat in the wall where the window was pushed back. She sat in the cozy plush area and leaned her tired head back on the wall, the window directly to her right.
The moon was ripe, full. Its ethereal light was oftentimes shielded by the drifting clouds, thick with what may be rain. It seemed that the blanket of gray from earlier had disbanded.
Her heart pounded when she noticed how light her body felt. Her eyes cast downward to scan, but immediately jolted back to the window. Was it possible? Was this place really a haven after all?
The annoying weight that classified her as pudgy was gone. If she had to guess, she was a good 130 pounds, well curved and quite the looker. Not only that, but her bad eyesight was nonexistent. She could she everything with amazing clarity, just like she was wearing her glasses.
Unfortunately, she was still five feet and two inches without her boots. She didn't dare complain.
Come to think of it, she may have looked like this when first entering Seclusion. She'd walked all that way and kept up a steady sprint for a good minute or two. Had her weak heart been cured as well?
With her boots still on her feet, she rushed out of the room with little fear of the cold tile downstairs. Her thumping feet halted on the wine red carpet just outside of her room.
She must have been too tired to notice it upon her arrival, but directly across from her room was another room, only this one was nearly barren. Its tile floor resembled the light coral floor of the commons area downstairs, and in the center, a lone wooden table stood alone. There was a chair on either side.
It must have been a child's room, seeing as how the table and seats looked fit for a toddler. The massive size perturbed her though. It was about the width of her room, though the ceiling was twice as high as hers. 'This place may turn out to be odder than I thought...' she thought.
The most beautiful object in the rather plain room was a circular stained glass window which was on the far wall, directly across from where she stood. It was high up, near the top of the room. It nearly touched the ceiling.
Lisa's heart fluttered. "No way..." she breathed out, a translucent white mist forming from her words due to the chilled air.
It was a picture of a solid white wolf with folded wings pure white. It looked absolutely angelic on the midnight blue background. Two shimmering sky blue topazes made for its wise eyes. It was positioned so that it looked like it was walking forward.
Tears welled in her startled, scared eyes. "I'm dreaming," she whispered to herself, voice wavering. "I've got to be dreaming." The winged wolf had been her symbol for years. Was this coincidence or fate?
She tore her eyes away from the window and sped down the multiple flights of stairs, never missing a beat. Before, she would never run so wildly in fear of falling, but her balance seemed to be near perfect now. As she ran by the first room on the first hall, she didn't even notice a certain someone sleeping in there.
As Lisa got to the banister in front of the gargantuan stained glass mural, she leaned on it, catching her breath. Vertigo claimed her, and she tried to shake it off. Maybe that was one thing that she couldn't get rid of, no matter what magic had rid her of her flaws. 'Better take it easy from now on,' she thought cautiously. 'My heart isn't perfect, but it is better than before.'
As her eyes focused, they fell on various bodies. The thing that really frightened her was the bag.
She stood at the top of the staircase, directly in front of the mural. Her dogtag lay on her racing heart, strewn by the run she'd just made.
'Oh my god... I'm not alone...'
(((Yes, if you're wondering, you've been cleared of your flaws as well. No glasses, no braces, no annoying lanky limbs or pudgy thighs. You all look fantastic. XD )))

Carlos slowly crawled out of the bag, cursing under his breath as he did so. He sat down on his knees, reflecting on what had just happened. I was kidnapped by vampires...and brought here...and, hey wait... His vision was extremely blurry as he looked at the smooth floor, then at the high ceiling. Carlos took off his glasses and his vision cleared up. He smiled slightly as he looked down at his glasses as he held them. Well...this is a plus... He pocketed his glasses and stood up. He felt slightly heavier than before, and his smile grew. Looks like i'm not underweight anymore...but...what the heck is going on here? He than noticed a large window; moonlight poured through it and gave the room an eerie glow. Carlos saw the moon through the window and stared at it for several seconds before putting his hands in his black jacket pockets, and returning his attention to the room.

The girl at the top of the stairs noticed his actions, her hazel eyes darkening as she became deep in thought. So she wasn't the only person whose flaws had been eliminated, from the looks of it. She ran a shaking hand through her shoulder-length, wavy brown hair. She had retained her thick waves, so it seemed. Curses...
She was nervous, to say the least. Who were these people?

Carlos looked down around him and noticed several bags, which looked like they contained bodies within them. He nearly screamed, but quickly regained his composure. Don't worry...i've seen worse...besides...i'm sure I can handle anything I run into here... His brown eyes flashed red for a quick second as he looked at a flight of stairs. ...I wonder...if anybody else is around... |

"Ya know it figures that they make a huge castle like this ON TOP of a hill. if you're opposing them then it's a pain in the ass to get there, however the same applies if you a bistander."
Nick mentally curses himself for not sharpening the axe more, completely aware that it probably wouldn't have made the slightest difference in his situation, besides his axe was probably still in the woods outside of his home. At least he had his 6 throwing knives, his fighting knife and his katana. it wasn't much but he could make due.
Finally after a long walk he reaches the large doors of the castle and pounds on them, praying that someone on the other side would answer, or at least give some sign that there was life on the other side of the door.
"Oy! Anyone in there?!"

Her pulse quickened, her nerves going haywire. She wasn't too fond of meeting new people, though she was pretty calm in the back of that truck. Was it because of the intense situation?
She calmed her breathing swiftly so her nervousness was partially hidden. Her hands were trembling, placed on the rail. "H-hi..." 'Nice going, Lisa. Try to muster up some courage!!' she mentally berated herself.
She cleared her throat. "Did you get here unharmed?" Hoping he wouldn't find her language too stuffy, as most did, she waited somewhat calmly for his reply.
She jumped at the pounding on the door, and froze. That voice... could it be...?
"Nick?!"

"...Someone you know?" |

Nick stops as he hears a familier voice on the other side of the door, but it couldn't be.....could it?
"Lisa? Is that you?"
He blinks a few times before he begins to try pushing on the doors. He was hoping that the doors would open, after all it wasn't very pleasant outside at the moment.

Slowly the doors opened, which Lisa found funny. They were quite light yesterday... She still had a lot to learn about this place, it seemed.
As soon as Lisa's olive eyes fell upon him, her face lit up with joy. "Oh my god!! Nick!!" She flew down the stairs to greet him, giving the confused Carlos a hasty "sorry" when speeding by him. She took no notice of the other bodies.

Heh...it's nice to see something like this after what's just happened... He turned around and began walking away to look around the castle some more. |

A smile crosses Nicks face as he notices Lisa bolting towards him. Once he is inside though he shuts the large door before resting his back against it andsliding down to a sitting position. He needed a break after all, and the cold of the night did not help him much at all.
"Wow, this is one of the last places I expected to see you Lisa."
With this he rests the sheathed katana on his right shoulder, allowing his hands to remain free.
"So, any idea where we are?"

She would have knocked him down anyway when colliding with him, so she settled for sliding on her knees next him, a pink tint touching her cheeks. She clung to his left arm, happy beyond belief that someone she knew for years would endure this insane vacation with her. "Thank god I'm not completely alone..." she breathed out, tears beginning to form in the corners of her brilliant eyes.
She hastily blinked them away. She wasn't going to cry over a first meeting. Sheesh...
She looked to the retreating boy, then back up at Nick, eyes holding a sad smile. "Would you honestly believe that it's not on any map?"

Alex opened his eyes sleepily and gave a big yawn. This bed is really comfortable. More sleeping for me. He thought as he snuggled closer to the big white pillow he held in his arms now.
Then he flashed open his eyes as he realized that he was in... the big castle. He blinked a couple of times when he was met with a blurry view of his room. Alex took off his glasses and rubbed them and reopened them. Odd. He seemed to have perfect vision without his glasses. Whatever.
Very slowly, Alex got up. It was really hard, after such a long journey a nice soft bed was very nice. Then he heard voices.
He sat up slowly and walked to the door. The voices he heard weren't familiar. They definitely weren't bald dude or spikey hair. He slowly stuck his head out of the door to take a look. A chick and two dudes. No trench coats or shady sunglasses. Ununiformed too. Looked pretty normal.
"Hey um..." Alex said speaking up, "Does anyone know where this is?"

"Well, considering that one of the people who captured me was able to catch the blade of my battle axe with no injuries at all, I'll believe quite a bit now."
Nick shakes his head, however once he hears Alex's voice he instinctually went to draw his sword, but stops when he realizes it's just another person, and judging by his speach and question, he seemed safe enough.

When hearing the other voice, Lisa tensed on instinct and tightened her grip slightly on Nick's arm. It was custom to do so with Foxxi as an act of defense, giving a sense that she was nervous, but ready to face the challenge at hand. Her face became a deeper pink when she realized it was Nick she was holding.
Blushing, she immediately let go and apologized under her breath. Not too fond of so many people, she had lost her will to speak so freely as she had done before, even if it was only two or three guys. She got nervous around guys she didn't know, especially if they were cute.
Damn, she might as well be mute.

Brandon awoke. His bag wiggled once, twice, and then he was free. Whee!
He noticed the mini group in the room. Brandon was timid, but not panicing.
'You all look familiar. Especially you Tono...'
He looked over avd saw Lisa. 'You too Lisums'
He didn't recognise Nick.
'What the fuck are we all doing here...?'

Lisa stared at the newest of the group, heart thudding heavily against her chest again (oh, damn that infernal organ!! GRAGH!!). Her arms fell limp to her sides as realization dawned upon her. Her face remained stunned, disbelieving.
"No way... I think I know what's going on..."
Trembling, she stood. Though she looked perfectly fit and healthy, her heart betrayed her appearance. So much happening in such little time was making her dizzy. She leaned against the cold door. "B-Brandy...? And you must be... Alex...?" She looked at each member accordingly.

'The odds of this happening are far from likely... why is everyone here?'
Right now, Brandon had one thing on his mind. What is going on.
'Why are we all here? I don't get it.'

"I-I'm not sure, but... It must be because we're from ToM... Though this sounds suspiciously like a role-play I might have thought of creating..." she jested lightly, but quickly turned serious as her heart gave a painful pound against her ribs.
Her hand flew to her chest, over her heart. She took a deep breath. Apparently, her heart's health was unstable, so she'd better take it easy.
Lisa tried to step forward, but her leg nearly gave out. She blushed and resumed her position against the door. By looking at her, something was definitely wrong.

_____________________________
Sleeping in study hall can make you a light sleeper. Griffin became used to catching the bustle of supplies gathering a minute or two before the bell rang. These voices echoing through high ceilings made this a little easier.
He quickly recalled all of what happened and his sight of the inner rooms of the castle and the ache in his legs confirmed that this was no dream.
He pulled himself to his feet, trying to tame his sweaty mess of hair. Clearing it from his face, he noticed the people standing with him. They didn't sound like the vampires he took him (I am really good with voices, but I suck with faces). They didn't dress much like the vampires and the little bits of conversation he could catch amiss his thoughts gave him the assumption that they were like him. Human.
Struggling to his feet, he managed himself up and walked over to them, rubbing the back of his head, "Oi! Anyone want to inform the new guy?"

Nick just watches the events unfold around him, although when Lisa begins having trouble he takes hold of her arm and steadies her while she gets back into position. After that he remains silent and listens. It was what he usually did and he only really spoke when it was necessary. He only had really spoken to Lisa here, so he decided to hold his tongue.
Even so he couldn't do nothing. He ended up drawing his sword and examining the blade carefully, looking for any markings that might have been left from his capture.

She smiled widely at Griffin, immediately recognizing him. "Hey, Griffy!!" Though her joy was radiant, it faded immediately. They were alone in a castle with little to no idea of what to expect. She shouldn't be acting so carefree. "So you're here too..." she muttered, eyes downcast.

He blinked twice. "...Lisa?"
No way. Lisa? Here? And the Asian kid... "Alex?"
Griff took some steps back. "No way. No way no way no way. I don't believe any of this anyway, and now ToM'ers start popping up. Seriously, what the fuck is going on here."
