Kido stood In front of the school that he was once a student at, having failed a very important class placement test, he was now going to leave, to somewhere unknown while his friends Theodora & Tivur would go on and have better life's at the school. Kido sighed, a little bit scared of travelling by himself, before he started to walk away from the school...That Is, until he heard a familiar voice. "Kido wait!" The voice said as Kido turned to see a robin flying towards him, he yelped as he ducked, but the robin turned Into someone...Theodora.

"I want to say goodbye a final time, I'm going to miss you, this school won't be the same without you." Theodora said to Kido who smiled. "Thanks...I'm sure I'll be fine b---However before Kido could finish, Theodora hugged him, which he closed his eyes and hugged back, almost In tears.

"I'll miss you Theodora!"

"Me too, I don't want you to leave, your one of my only friends here!"

---

Theodora thought about that day...Ever since Kido left to start his own life, that Is until she heard news that he went to this mansion, a newly built mansion In the Life Sphere that just appeared one day, she also thought about her family...Before she was sent to the magical school. Theodora had negative vies coming from this mansion as he looked at the giant wall that was blocking Theodora from entering, there was also a large but smaller gate near her.

Theodora thought that the wall was a bit...Much while waiting for Ringo and Ecolo.

"A bit weird to have a giant wall blocking off this house?"

Theodora was also holding a tray of jelly...Red jelly.

"Brightwing Lane~ Brightwing Lane~
It's such an unfamiliar street~
S-T-R-E-E-T!
Follow the road down here and I'll find my room~!"

"... Well, this place is going to take some getting used to. The residential street is nothing like Suzuran. I was supposed to take a turn here to find where I'm staying, but...I don't remember a mansion being here."

Ringo still hasn't got herself used to the surroundings of the Life Sphere. While it is modern like her home town, the structure has yet to stick to Ringo's memory, needing a little notepad to keep directions on where to go. As she said, the mansion is nowhere written in her notes. She curiously looked up at it, wondering who could be in here. It seems somewhat out of place.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

The space-time traveler known as Ecolo was quietly traveling to the destination at hand...until he saw a familiar redhead onto his vision. There she was. All that time searching has lead to this very fine moment.

What does the small blob decide to do? Why, rush towards Ringo, arms wide open for a hug!

"Riiiinnngiiiieee~!"

The blob tackle-hugged the apple girl. Whether or not he was longing for some sort of affection from her was yet to be seen. 

"Golly, Ringie! It's so good to see you again, and alive and well!" The blob said excited. "Where've you been?"

[Deleted]

Theodora turned and saw her two partners for the mission appearing, while the first one being Ringo, who was a bit confused about the houses and apartments Brightwing Lane had and sang about how It'll take awhile for her to get used to the place. Theodora's second partner Ecolo appeared and hugged Ringo, he was glad that she was alive In this harsh world. "That's sweet, reminds me of the time I had with my friends, anyway my names Theodora Per---Theodora stopped midway before speaking again. "Actually It's just Theodora." Theodora said before looking at the large wall.

"Were checking out this strange mansion because there's something weird about It, I don't know If It's my magic or something but just seeing the walls of this mansion make me sick." Theodora said as she spoke again to the two newly arrived members of the mission. "Also, an old friend of mine could be In here somewhere, hopefully whoever lives here Is nice so we'll get In easily." Theodora said as she walked towards the gate and saw a voicebox which she spoke Into.

"Uhh hello, were new neighbours and so we brought you some food as a welcoming gift to the wonderful neighbourhood of Brightwing Lane." Theodora said as the voice replied back, In a female voice. "Food, do all of you have food, because we'll let you In once each visitor has brought there own food." The voice of the woman said as Theodora looked at Ringo and Ecolo, while Ringo had an apple and Theodora had jelly, Ecolo didn't have anything, so quickly Theodora summoned another jelly plate which landed on Ecolo's hands, If he looked closer he would see that there was a hammer In the jelly.

After getting Ecolo food, Theodora turned back to the voicebox and spoke again. "Yes, we got food, let us In please so we can greet you." Theodora said...As the tall golden gate In front of three opened and Theodora walked Into the front yard of the mansion.

"Ok guys, act natu---What the hellluck?"




Theodora looked around at the front area of the mansion, which looked...Odd, for a mansion. "Look at this place, It seem's creepy and uncanny...Do you think something will happen If we touch that doorless shed over there?" Theodora said to Ringo and Ecolo referring to the shed near the oddly shaped pool. After looking around the outside of the mansion at night Theodora walked towards the front door and pressed It's doorbell.



"I think this doorbell need's a bit of tuning."

[Rina]

"E-ECOLO!?"

The motion caused Ringo to fall flat on the ground and under Ecolo's weight...Whatever weight there is to be had, anyway. Space matter. She struggled to try and get him off, flailing her arms about. She would ask him why he's here...but at the same time, it'd be a pointless motion. This is a space-time traveler she's getting glomped by.

"...I'd ask why you're here, but at the same time I feel like I know why. It'd also be difficult to investigate the activity in the mansion with your weight pinning me to the ground."

As soon as Ecolo would get off, she would get off the ground and briefly introduce herself to Theodora and follow her to the mansion.

"I'm Ringo Andou. And do excuse his behavior. He's rather whimsical, to say the least."

Upon entry to the mansion, Ringo felt something crawl under her skin. Is this place haunted? If it is, then she's definitely feeling the creepiness get to her. The off-tune music box music doesn't help, either.

"I have a bad feeling about this place..."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ecolo shook his head. "Actually, someone sent me to find you. Not gonna tell who, though~" He went on to say as he let go of Ringo. Really, what would be the chances she'd believe that Maguro sent him to search for her? Probably none. Welp, time for introducions!

"Howdy-do, name's Ecolo! I'm a space-time traveler!"

The blob followed both Ringo and Theodora at the creepy mansion...and Ecolo was already giving onto genre savviness, considering his...previous experience. He was secretly hoping it was, for...a couple of reasons.

"Well, talk about blatant. Prepare yourselves for spooks, folks, 'cause we are going in a ghost mansion."

[Deleted]

"Ghost mansion, are you referring to this mansion, the Veneficus mansion?" The familiar voice of the woman said as she stood In front of the trio now, the door Is opened as Theodora turned towards her, the woman spoke once more as Theodora shaked her head In a form of apology of calling the mansion haunted. "I see you three have food, please come In and put them at this table over here." The woman said as she lead the trio In and aimed at a table...With a lot of jelly's on the table, which Theodora put her own jelly on as the woman looked at the trio, smiling psychotically, unaware of the hammer In Ecolo's jelly...And the dagger In Theodora's jelly.

Theodora was feeling uncomfortable and spoke to the woman. "So...Who are you, and do you own this mansion?" Theodora said to the woman who quickly replied to Theodora's question. "Me? No, I'm Lilly, Lilly Veneficus, I'm the adopted mother of master Veneficus who Is upstairs with that dumb servant Kido." Lilly said as Theodora's eyes widen at the last thing Lilly said. "Wait, Kido's upstairs, where...And why did you call him du---However before Theodora could finish and get angry at Lilly, five more odd people entered the room and introduced themselves, such as.

"Ellie the fat and funny maid, at your service!"

"Usogami the other servant...Not like master Kido, I am also at your service, mainly master Veneficus service."

"I'm Chris!...Veneficus, Lilly's husband who owns ALLLL OF THE COMPANY'S!"

"And I'm his wacky grandfather Loid, who makes inventions In the family shed which I got rid of the door of!" Finally the last figure entered.

"RACER YAM!"

All five bowed down to Theodora, Ringo & Ecolo along with Lilly, as Theodora looked at the six, they all appear to be wearing blue necklaces, however before she could question It...Footsteps were heard as the group turned towards the footsteps.

"He has arrived..."

"Who, Veneficus?"

[Rina]

"G-Ghosts?"

Shouldn't have said that, Ecolo. Now Ringo's more on edge than she should. When the adoptive mother showed up, she was mildly startled, thinking she was a ghost, but now she has some peace of mind that she's...not a ghost. Ringo took a deep breath to calm herself, promptly putting an apple on the table. Being the member of a grocer family business, she checked it before hand, just in case she brought a bad one.

Okay... then now what?

Then come the five housekeepers, all of which are...distinct.

"...Well, this is...interesting."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

"Don't worry, Ringie, I'll protect ya~" Ecolo said in order to reassure the apple girl. While Ringo was extensively afraid that ghosts were a thing in that mansion, Ecolo was rather giddy about ghost-busting again. Seemed like he developed a sense of enjoyment of doing that particular job.

Of course, all that giddiness diminished as it turned out there was no ghost, just...one heck of a really weird family. Yeesh, and the people he knows deems him weird. Ecolo quickly grew visibly uncomfortable as the family introduced themselves and tried to huddle next to Ringo for comfort.

"......Um......I..."

It was clear that Ecolo wanted to say something, but he was holding it back.

[Deleted]

As the two figures who were heard revealed themselves, one of them spoke, however the voice the figure was speaking In...Made Theodora's blood run cold...Very cold. "Greeting's neighbours, prepare yourself!" The boy said as Theodora said sounding shocked. "No...It can't be..." Theodora said as she took a few steps away, accidentally bumping Into Ringo In the process, as she turned towards her partner, a look of fear was on Theodora's face as the two figures now stood on the stairs.

"It Is I, Kristoff Debilis Veneficus, the only son of the Veneficus family, and this Is my servant friend...Baka, right Baka?" Kristoff said as he grabbed Baka who was a kappa from the scruff of his servant shirt and dragged him close, making Baka worried, when Baka showed signs of resisting...He was quickly shocked as Baka screamed In pain as the blue necklace he was wearing quickly glowed, the six other members of the "family" showed signs of discomfort as Kristoff looked down at the group.

Before dropping Baka on the ground.

"So, who are these wonderful gu---However before Kristoff could finish, he would notice that one of the visitors was...

Her sister...Theodora.

"Wh-wha!?" Kristoff said In shock, as Theodora ran towards the red jelly she had earlier and pulled out the dagger from within, she ran over to Kristoff with anger In her eyes.

"YOU RUINED MY LIFE!"

(Roll a strength 15 to stop Theodora from attacking Kristoff...Or you can let her attack him.)

[Rina]

Really? A kappa named 'stupid'? And that electro-punishment...Some first impression.

Ringo's inner monologue sounded more like inner snark. Her train of thought was shaken a bit when Theodora bumped into her, but she didn't have any plan of conversation off-hand anyway. Her thoughts wouldn't be the most appropriate thing to talk about either.

...then Theodora's composure snaps in two, startling her. So much so that she didn't have enough reaction time to try and stop her from trying to rip someone a new one. Literally.

"Whoahwhoah!?"

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ecolo's first impressions of the family itself weren't exactly the best...and Kristoff just worsened that impression by torturing a poor kappa with a very mean name just because. Adding that to Ecolo's discomfort lead to a rather reckless response.

"...Nice to see you treat your servants suuuuper well." The blob went on to remark with ginormous sarcasm on his voice tone.

Before he could do something else, Theodora seemed to snap as she went up towards Kristoff and tried to actively stab him. "W-whoa, hold your horses!" Ecolo said as he tried to restrain Theodora.

KpmiTp5mp_1d20-1(Nope.)

However, she slipped out of his range and the blob could only watch helplessly alongside Ringo.1d20-1

[Deleted]

Theodora continued to charge towards Kirstoff and Kido, however she threw the dagger which just missed Kristoff by the cheek and hit the nearby wall, Theodora breathed heavily before thinking. "Calm down Theodora...Your going to get Kido out of this messed up situation." Theodora thought to herself as she looked up at everyone again and noticed Baka looked very...Disgusted visibly before speaking. "Were...Going to the bathroom and then join you for dinner." Theodora said to the group as she turned towards Ecolo and Ringo. "Ecolo, Ringo, your coming with me, It's urgent." Theodora said as she ran to the nearest bathroom of the mansion as Ellie spoke about what just happened.

"That girl's even crazier then a saled In a punchbowl."

"RACER YAM!"




However try as they might, Theodora didn't find a bathroom In the mansion, but an indoor pool area which she happily took off her shoes and socks and dumped her feet In. She looked very sad over what happened and was quiet instead of being disgusted with the odd mansion earlier.

Perhaps someone should talk to her?

[Rina]

Ringo followed her to the pool, which looked quite opulent and something out of a god's temple. If it's important, might as well hear her out. She's not in the know of what's going on, after all.

"Hey...do you mind if you fill me in? I'm not informed of your seemingly strained relationship with that man."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ecolo followed the two girls, partly because he was worried about Theodora's reaction and partly because the family was freaking him out due to intense weirdness. He saw Ringo express a certain curiosity about that, so the blob followed up with his own sentence.

"Hey...um...it's only if you want to spit it out, okay?" Ecolo said, looking clearly worried for that girl.

It may be no secret, but for Ecolo to worry about someone else was a...rarity, to say the least. It was clear to him that outburst was a bit too serious to take lightly.
