Introduction

On a dark and stormy night, you are in need of a place to stay. Low on gas and not a hotel in sight, you come upon the Moore Mansion with its "Vacancy" sign lit. Wary of how the somewhat run down building looks, you decide, for whatever reason, to stay here. As you walk up the broken concrete walkway, the hair on the back of your neck stands up, but you tread on, weary from the long day, wanting nothing more than to feel your head hitting a nice, soft pillow.

After opening the disgusting, rotting door, you are greeted by a very opulent foyer. Judging by the outside of the mansion, you never would have imagined the inside would look like this. The walls are decorated with dark red fabric. A huge, expensive looking chandelier hangs from the ceiling, right above a counter with a women standing behind it, no doubt the receptionist. The chandelier sheds light to all corners of the room, making it very bright and inviting. There are two grand stairways made of mahogany on both sides of the room leading to a balcony, which leads to a hallway, and what you would guess would be where the rooms are. To the left of the reception counter and inset in the wall is a set of double doors with a sign that says "Restaurante." To the right, is a single door, inset in the wall, that has gold decorating all over in odd shapes. Seeing this door, the hairs on your neck stand up again, but you will yourself to relax, excusing the feeling to the memory of the exterior of the mansion.

As you take in the room, the woman behind the desk stands up, rings the bell on the top of the counter. A man steps through the "Restaurante" doors and the woman asks "Good Evening. How may we help you?"

The look both the man, who appears to be a butler, and woman give you, makes your inner self scream to leave...... right now!

The air smells sweet, but is no particular smell. Trying to identify it does no good, but it definitely lightens the mood. In any other room, the light would be too much, but in here, the light is just right. It could be the dark red walls, but seems like it is something else, something that is intangible.

The butler coughs, as to get someones attention. "May I help you?" the receptionist asks again.

Rose Channing is brought out of her daze. She had been staring in awe at the walls that were so different from outside. She was sure it was going to be a dump, but now she was glad she gave it a chance. She looks up at the lady behind the desk and nods.
"I'd like a room, please. Just one bed," She says then shoots a glance at the butler.

"Why, of course you can! My name is Judy and I will be here whenever you may need something," she says in the most valley girl type of voice you have ever heard. She flips her hair over her shoulder and starts writing in the book behind the counter. It seems odd that these people are using pen and paper to keep track of their guests, instead of computers like everyone else. "The butler will help you with your things and show you to your room." Judy looks to the butler and nods, getting a nod in return.

The butler looks you over with a quick glance, gives a disapproving frown, but other than that, betrays no other emotion. He walks up and holds his hands out, waiting for approval to help you with your things.

From behind the butler, Judy pops her head above the counter, "Oh, excuse me miss. I forgot to ask. What is your name?"

Rose held out a black and white, checkered messenger bag to the butler. She knew it was very light for what most people would take to a hotel. She could also carry it very easily, but she handed her stuff to the butler. She smiled at the woman behind the counter.

"My name is Rose Channing," she said in her almost musical voice. She noticed the woman write something in a book. She hadn't been in that many hotels, but was sure that they usually kept their information in computers. That's strange she thought to herself But then again, this entire place is strange. She was happy to finally be out of the cold and have a comfortable bed to sleep in.

The butler grabs Rose's bag and motions her to the left stairway. Soft music begins to fill the air, the source unknown, but the direction coming from the "Restaurante." It is a mix of jazz and elevator music, which does not make a good couple. A waft of food comes on the next note, something delicious, although what it is is a mystery, like everything else in Moore Mansion.

Judy, trying to look busy, keeps a keen eye on Rose as she is led to and up the stairway. As Rose gets halfway up, Judy pulls an old rotary style telephone out of a side drawer and turns it twice. She begins talking in a very low voice, almost a whisper. Although most of the conversation is garbled, Rose can hear "we have a guest, sir," near the end. The butler coughs again, urging Rose to follow.

Getting to the top of the balcony, the attached hallway goes the same distance in both directions, and both directions look identical. The butler heads to the right and looks over his shoulder, making sure Rose is following. After passing a couple doors, neither numbered or lettered, instead marked by various pictures, Rose is led to a door with the picture of of a shield with a sword to the side. The butler opens the door and nods for you to enter.

The room is much bigger than would be expected from the exterior. There is every kind of amenity you could expect in a hotel room. Gift basket, mini fridge, king size bed, vanity, dresser, wardrobe, it is all here. The butler puts Rose's bag on the side table. He just stands there, awaiting something, although what is unknown.

Violet, Martin, and Valentina all arrive about 20 seconds apart. Is it fate that brought these three together at the same time, or was it just a strange bit of bad luck. Whatever it may be, there the three of them stand, in the foyer of the Moore Mansion, next to strangers in a strange place that exudes...strangeness.

"My my!" the woman behind the counter says, followed by a giggle. "3 guests at the same time. Oh...delightful!! Together or seperate?" she finishes in that annoying valley girl voice anyone would want to be atleast 100 miles away from. The penetrating look her blue eyes have are enough to give anyone goosebumps.

The air smells sweet, but is no particular smell. Trying to identify it does no good, but it definitely lightens the mood. In any other room, the light would be too much, but in here, the light is just right. It could be the dark red walls, but seems like it is something else, something that is intangible.

The butler coughs, and gives the three new guests an unpleasant frown, but otherwise, betrays no emotion.

Rose's violet eyes widened when she reached the room. It was so... luxurious! She thanked the butler and stood akwardly, untill he left. Once the door was closed behind him she ran and jumped on the bed, melting into the sheets. She sat up on the bed that was way too big for her and reached for her bag. Her five foot tall body was not long enough to reach it and she fell to the ground, causing a large thump.

"Oops," She whispered to herself. She stood up, brushing her ripped skinny jeans off as she did. She grabbed what little money she had and ran downstairs. The smell of food brought her back to the reception area where three other guests were checking in. She was glad she wasn't the only one here.

She smiled at the strange butler before making her way over to the "Restaurante". Halfway there she tripped and landed on the ground.

"Twice in five minutes, I'm on a rolll." She muttered to herself. She stood up and made sure her money was there. She waved at the new guests, one was a guy a little older and he was sort of cute. She blushed, her pale cheeks turning a bright red. She was always so clumsy.

"Very well Miss....." the receptionist says, awaiting to hear the young woman's name.

As Rose runs down the stairs, the butler and receptionist seem startled to see her, evident by the long worried look they give each other. As if realizing how they must appear to the new guests, they quickly straighten themselves and look as if nothing has happened. "H..Hi Rose. Whatever are you doing down here? I mean, let me check in these guests and I will help you with whatever you may need."

The receptionists nameplate flashes in the chandelier light, making it easy to see the outlines of the letters that spell her name, Judy. A brief sense of panic washes over everyone in the room at the way Judy talks to Rose.

"Anyway, sorry for the interruption. It has been one of those nights. Tee-hee! Please tell me your names and the butler will take you to your rooms. Also, if anyone would like, there is going to be a fantastic dinner ready in about 15 minutes. I am told that it will be the best meal we have served yet!" With that, she giggles, but readjusts herself, trying to appear more professional.

"i'm Violet Maundrell. I'll only be staying for a night or two." She says as she sets her bags down so she could check in.

The fates can be fucked up sometimes or Valentina just did something to earn their interest… Nothing seemed to go right these past few days with her parents sending her off to her grandfather for what they call, ‘little vacation’ really she already tell they just wanted the house to their selves for a little alone time.. The young girl shuddered; she refused to think what her parents were doing at the moment alone in their huge house… Maybe I should start house hunting ASAP.. She mused to herself.

Shifting her bag on her shoulders she took a small glance at the other two people. They looked ordinary.. Nothing really different from the normal humans, but why was her gut feeling screaming for her to get the hell out of this place? Maybe she’ll look into it later….

"My my!"

"3 guests at the same time. Oh...delightful!! Together or seperate?"

Valentina cringed from the sheer annoying volume the woman produced. God… People with annoying voice cords still exist? A set of earplugs would have been appreciated at the moment. Forcing a smile she turned her head towards the woman as she made her way towards the reception desk. “Separate for me… And I’m Valentina De Lucia.” She said spoke in a sweet voice. “I’ll just be staying for the night though…” She added. Or at least still I can understand that damned map my parents gave me… She added mentally.

Rose blinked a few times. "Um.. I was actually coming down for the dinner." She shook the receptionist's strange behavior off as her personality. Rose had never really talked to those girls much. They mostly annoyed her. She stood there akwardly, not sure what to do with the herself since dinner wouldn't be ready for another fifteen minutes.

The young man who had walked in with the two new girls turned around, and left. A strange feeling washed over the room, a feeling of anger, almost like the room was angry that someone had left. But that could not be so, it was a room, an inanimate object. A moment later, everyone heard a loud click echo through out the foyer.

"Welcome Valentina and Violet," Judy began. "The butler will show you to your rooms." With this, she gave the butler a nod, who returned the nod. The butler stepped towards the right stairs and motioned the two girls to follow.

Turning her attention to Rose, Judy almost looked panicked, then she smirked and said, "If you would like, I can make sure an appetizer is prepared for you very shortly. You may go in and wait for the butler to bring it in if you would like. He will be back shortly." Again, she gave the butler a little nod, with him returning it just the same.

The butler leads Violet and Valentina up the stairs and takes them down the right hallway. He stops abruptly, turns around and points at two doors, directly across from each other, numbered 10 and 15. He opens both of them for the two girls and then walks off, back towards the foyer.
