(((Indeed.)))
She smiled in an apologetic manner, sad hazel eyes intent on him. "Believe me, I wish I knew. All I know is that we're on a deserted island called Seclusion... and that vampires took me here... and maybe you guys too. But... that's it." Her gaze fell, hope fading uncharacteristically.

Alex's eyes flickered as the guy in front of him made a sudden movement with his arm. An alarm went off in Alex's head filled with a couple of curses. A guy with a goddamn sword? The frickin hell? But the alarms quickly were silenced as the dude calmed down and put away his sword.
"Alex?"
The hell? Who knew his name? A kid with emo hair just randomly called his name. At first Alex thought he was talking to another Alex, but he was staring right at him.
He stared back. Blinking. Then it all connected. Emo hair + Griffy = ...
OH! Griffin! DoD! Ranger! Whatever likes to call himself!
"No, I'm goddamn Karanu." Alex replied.

Lisa snickered, suppressing a chuckle. It'd been a while since she'd laughed.

"Since when's Will Asian?"
Returning his attention to Wul-...Lisa, he adressed the situation. "So, we've all been brought to an island called Seclusion with vampires and werewolves and stuff. We're in a big castle. I'm here, so is Alex and Lisa and......erm...sword guy, LC, right? From what my vampire dudes said, this is a different world or dimension or something because he referred to Earth as "the Outer World"."
He sat down. "I can say one thing for certain right now."
He laid back. "We're all fucked."

She half-pouted, putting her hands on her hips. "Well that's a lovely way to look at things," she said, sarcastic. Her old nature was returning to her, though the situation hardly called for it.

"Um... last time I checked Karanu was asian."
"And I'm missing something. Vampires? What?"

Griff turned to Alex, "He is? Oops, my bad. You're still Alex though."
He went back to Lisa again. "Yeah...sorry. Just helps if we face the facts know."
He sat back up, legs folded.
"So, here's the million dollar question...what now?"

Nick finishes examining the sword and sheaths it back within the tsuba before resting the weapon horizontally on his lap. Again he refrains from speaking around them, after all even on ToM he wasn't very social. He quietly sighs as he closes his eyes and steadies his breathing, entering a meditative state. At least like this he can listen to them and try to think of any possibilities from here. Even though he prayed that someone else could think of something before him, after all he was not good with dealing with the unknown.

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 panicking. 'You all look familiar. Especially you Tono...' He looked over and saw Lisa. 'You too Lisums' He didn't recognize Nick. 'What the fuck are we all doing here...?' Carlos glanced at Brandon. "Wow...wasn't expecting you to be here..." "Since when's Will Asian?" Returning his attention to Wul-...Lisa, he adressed the situation. "So, we've all been brought to an island called Seclusion with vampires and werewolves and stuff.

He laid back. "We're all fucked." Carlos laughed. "Nicely said." |

Lisa thought hard, eyes to the floor, though this time they held raw determination instead of a dimming hope. Her arms were folded across her chest and her legs were set apart, one foot tapping restlessly.
After a brief moment, she stopped moving.
"...We need to assign roles," she said finally, taking on the persona of a leader. Her eyes were still on the floor.

Nick hears Lisa's statement and snaps out of his trance, however he still does not move, after all moving was not necessary at the moment.
"I second that thought, after all at least if we assign roles then we can at least find something to do, rather than sit here and find out what happens now."
With this Nich grabs his sheathed sword and stands up, although he still leans with his back against the door, his arms now crossed as he begins to try and think of possibilities as to what he would be good at.

She nodded twice at Nick's words. "Indeed. And seeing as how Nick seems to be the most well armed out of the rest of us, he should be put on guard duty." Her line of sight was straight now, staring at the double doors between the twin staircases. Her mind wasn't on what lay behind those doors, though. She often had little control of her vision when her mind was racing.
"Anyone wanna volunteer for anything?"

He then sighed and said "I have no idea what is needed exactly... So i'm up for anything..." |

"Well actually," Alex started, "We should start with explaining how each of us got us. I think it'll allow us to piece this story together.
"Lisa," Alex turned his head towards her, "You mentioned something about vampires. I'm still clueless on this vampire thing. All I know is that I was kidnapped by two guys. They were... strange but I'm not sure if they were vampires... And you said this place is Seclusion?"

Her strong-willed eyes were set on Alex, listening intently. When he finished, she told her story, eyes occasionally falling to the side when she mentioned lost comrades.
She'd been walking with Tia, knocked out, captured along with a kid, a shy chick, and a werewolf, and managed to make some allies along the way. She spoke of the lively Elijah, whose smile could make anyone's worries fade, if only slightly, and his partner, Alister, who was a silent man full of much angst and past hurt. She even brought up the main family, the Flanagans, who she inferred were the head vampires.
Leaving out the young voice that sang to her during her first day, she finished with her hands held in front of her at her lap, eyes to the tile once more.

"Roles? Heh...I'm still not sure any of this shit is real, but it's one hell of a dream, real or not. I'm ready to live it up as much as I can. Fighter, cook, scout, data recorder, anything, I'll take it on."
After a while, Alex's idea came up. "Well, I was at school with my friends. These two guys came up and smacked the pricipal down. Me and my buddies just ran like hell. They followed me, and...well...they phased through solid walls and levitated down to the ground. They asked if I was Griff, and I said yes. One of 'em tranquilized me and brought me here on a plane. One of them said something about 'the spin'. Once we got here, they made me walk for, like, hours. We arrived here at the castle and they told me about this place. They were vampires, they said there were werewolves, and once I walked into this castle, I just kinda fell asleep. That's my story."

"They... walked through walls...?" Her eyes were wide, surprised. "So that must be those guys' carry-over trait."
Before any questions arose, she continued. "A carry-over is an enhanced trait or skill a vampire keeps from their previous life. For instance, if a vampire was really in-tune with people's emotions, he might be able to control the emotions of those around them. Ya feel me?"

Nick thought about gaurd duty and nods. "I'm an insomniac anyway, so this is a fine arraingement."
He then thinks about his own capture. and shakes his head.
"As for me, I was training in the woods outside of my house when two really pale people came and said they were lost. However not long after that they asked if my name was Nicholas, with this I tried to get away. I even tried to use my battle axe on one of them, and the male just caught the blade is if it was the lightest and dullest thing in the world. The he slugged me right here...."
With this he taps the top of his forhead with his right index finger, although the wound was not somehow healed it still left a scar where he recieved the head wound.
"The then uppity bitch got behind me somehow and get a needle in my neck, and next thing I know I'm in the cargo hold of a plane with that damned woman waiting for me and telling me to head down the path. And after a couple of hours I arrived here."

Griff closed his eyes and began to process all of this information.
So...we were all brought here by people with the same characteristics. Pale, serious, mysterious, and deadly. We all wound up on a plane before arriving here, in Seclusion, and were forced to walk to this castle where we all met up.
We're all from ToM too.
We were all kidnapped and taken on a plane to the same destination.
These are vampires we're dealing with.
Vampires drink blood, right?
All of us brought to a gothic castle?
Maybe we're being sacrificed?
Experimented on?
Werewolf feed?
Shit...I'm not even sure this is real. But if I can process all this thought...it must be real. Or...can I do this in a dream normally, but just forget it when I wake up?
"UGH!!! THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!"

Lisa winced at the sight of the scar. It didn't look too painless. When Griffin made his little outburst, she jumped. "..."

"I suggest we explore the castle, both inside and out," she began, nodding her head in thought. "We should split into two teams, or maybe it'd be safer to go as one big group..."

"Safety in numbers, I'd reccommend the bigger group. Besides if we find something that might give a reason as to why we were brought here we'll have more minds to think with."
With this Nick stands up straight, tieing the tsuba to his belt on the left side, putting it in a position where it can be drawn with reletive ease.
"Although the question should be where should we look first, I honestly think that we should explore the inside first, since it is nighttime outside."

She nodded, excitement building in the pit of her stomach. She'd always wanted to live in a place like this. "Sounds good to me. Any objections?"

Lisa smirked, adventure sparkling in her devious eyes. "Well, if that's it, shall we go then?" She turned on her heel to face Nick, eyes intent on his. "Mind if you lead this expedition, Kami-sama?"
