-Prologue Update-
"Calm Before The Storm"
Continued from here
How simple my gift is
If time could only freeze
This happens every year
And my heart could only tear
At this rate, you all would get the sense that this was some odd kidnapping incident, and if you were left here any longer... surely someone would die due to lack of supplies here.
Well, all of you are in luck, because there happened to be someone opening the door that would lead you out of this somewhat cramped guest room (
well, what do you expect with more than 30 people jammed in one room?).
That someone wasn't really expecting this many people in the first place, but you couldn't blame her for it. The young woman appeared to be a maid of a sort.
"O-Oh my... um..."
Feeling as this was a bad time, the maid was about to walk away, but of course, she stopped after one footstep. As if she were remembering some distinct orders pertaining to everyone present.
"A-Apologies... I simply wasn't expecting this many guests invited over by Madam Beatrice..."
By just the mere mention of the name "Beatrice" definitely sparked interest in those that knew about the "Witch's Game" according to Ange, who apparently wasn't back yet from her cat chase. Oh dear... it looked like the maid was going to faint, but of course, she had a task to do here, and she didn't want to fail that task.
"... um... I see that majority of those present want to see Madam Beatrice... in that case, I can lead you all to the main manor. Once we arrive there, I'm free to... answer all of your questions if so. ... and maybe I can see if Madam Beatrice is fine with seeing you all in person..."
Well, how convenient. For a normal-looking maid, she didn't seem to be that bothered with the fact that some of the supposed "guests" appeared out of whack, but that was probably because she was just a maid under Beatrice the Witch. Maybe this was normal on a daily basis?
"O-Oh... I almost forgot to introduce myself. M-My apologies... You can refer to me by the name Shannon. Now please, follow me as... I-I escort you to the manor."
Once Shannon began to usher herself and everyone else to the exit to this building, which was actually the guest house and not the real mansion, it's no wonder why she was referring to another manor in the first place. Besides, maybe with this, you'll get the answers you all want answered. Or maybe not.
The path was almost like something out of a fairytale book. Everything appeared perfect. No cracks in the pavement. No signs of dying vegetation. The sky above had little to no clouds that could obscure the day's sunlight. As it was perfect... it only looked that way. Not to mention that there wasn't anything relatively... magical around here. They were all invited by the Golden Witch, but it was just plain weird that they were first thrown into a relatively normal and perfect-appearing setting.
"... it's been quiet lately."
The maid would mumble quietly to herself, but realizing that she was with many other people, she yelped a quick
"Sorry!" before returning to silence as she lead them to the front of the mansion.
"H-Here we are... now... um, give me a moment to... unlock the door."
Upon announcing their arrival to the mansion's front doors, Shannon would fumble with a set of keys she had with her. Being clumsy, she happened to drop the keys onto the floor, prompting her to quickly mutter out in a hushed whisper
"sorry" again before picking up keys up and finally unlocking the door into the mansion.
"... s-so it turns that I do have some time to spare... with questions, so you can do that if you wish. Um... feel free to tour the mansion as much as you like too... it's been awhile since we had guests over. J-Just don't go to the room upstairs. That's the living quarters that Madam Beatrice keeps herself in, and I rather not bother her without the proper notification of it..."
With that said, Shannon stood by the painted portrait near the back of the entry room, getting some cleaning supplies from the corner of the room to leave the plaque that was right next to the portrait frame. It was a viable option to
ask Shannon on what this whole deal is with "Madam Beatrice."
There were some locations that they could attend to, now that they were within the mansion owned by the Golden Witch Beatrice, if their suspicions were correct... Those locations were the:
Dining Room
Kitchen
Living Room
Library
OOC Note: Please tag me for the Kitchen and the Library as well as talking to Shannon, @Bomb for the Dining Room, and @The Silver Paladin for the Living Room.
