private MLP FIM: Darkside Manor

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Moonlit closed his wings and seemingly transitioned to the ground as he folded his wings shut. "Is there the place you were talking about?" He asked. "I don't mean to be unoptimistic, but this place... looks, well... uhh.... lets just say it looks like something we should stay away from." Moonlit was feeling a lot of animosity coming from that place.
 

[Nova12 53]

Sunny Melody's head was still swimming, and her ears filled with static, ringing, and strange noises. However, she still managed to pick up one word of Moonlit Ace's headache-inducing speech. Animosity.

That was what this place was. Rage, fear, and pure hatred.

Sunny's already confused mind was torn. A great deal of her wanted to run away from this horrible place, to run away and never come back. But a small sliver of her - a tiny fraction of her damaged mind - longed so much to find out more about this new and unknown place.

 

"Keep going..." she spoke.

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Moonlit was debating whether or not to go into the building in question. Every fiber of his being was telling him to fly away with Sunny and never look back, and it's what he would have done too.

 

 

 

 

"Keep going..."

Sunny spoke, so he walked forward because Sunny seemed to be okay with it.

[Nova12 53]

Sunny Melody was regaining consciousness a little, but she was still very dizzy. She looked up to see the structure she and Moonlit Ace were trotting towards, and was met with a huge mansion, large and menacing in appearance. In her clouded mind, strange shapes swam around it, but they were fading by the second as her vision cleared.

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Moonlit walked towards the huge mansion without saying a word, all he did was making sure that Sunny was with him at all times. He didn't want her getting lost, especially in a place like this, and this mansion just screamed it, like it was going to be a big maze or something along those lines, either way, Moonlit was unsure if this was the mansion he had won or not.

 

"Maybe I'll check the map later when I get a chance." He thought.

[Nova12 53]

Sunny sighed as her mind cleared of the strange mist and hallucinations. What the hay was that? She thought as she slid off Moonlit's back and began to trot alongside him. Her thoughts turned to the odd manor in front of her, now looking much scarier and stranger. It was a large and intimidating building, rising several stories above the ground. It was painted with layers of dark gray paint, peeling to reveal strange and rotted wood. It's roof was paneled with shingles black as night, and it's closed shutters (as well as the menacing spiked fence on the top of the roof) were shining silver like moonlight. Sunny Melody gulped as she and Ace trotted up to the huge wooden doors. Here we go...

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Moonlit slowly stepped up the front steps to the Mansion's front door, with Sunny beside him of course. He started to slowly open the door, peer his head in, and look around for any signs of any activity inside, but there was none, none that he could see, anyway.

"Hello?" He asked. "Wait a minute, Sunny, do you think you can illuminate the room with your magic?"

Karla could now sense their life forces at the door. She heads on to the stairs and looking up to the hanging chandelier her eyes seem to just light it up. She nearly forgot it was nightfall. She then decends down the stairs hearing a voice say "Hello". Walking to the door, it seems a pony has already opened it. "Greetings and Welcome to Darkside Manor. How may I help you?" Karla says in her gental voice looking directly at Moonlit who had already had a hoof in the manor.

[Nova12 53]

"Sure!" Sunny quietly squeaked in answer to Moonlit's question. She instinctively channeled magic to her horn, but it seemed harder than usual. ​It must be that weird mist stuff... Sunny Melody thought, remembering the strange forces that had clouded her mind and weakened her body. She tried to summon light again, this time more focused. Sunny smiled has she felt her horn spark, but her focus immediately dropped - and her magic halted - as soon as she heard a strange voice form inside the darkened manor.

 

 

"Greetings and Welcome to Darkside Manor. How may I help you?"

[EpicRainbow275 21]

Dusk trotted past the front room to get to the kitchen (assuming the kitchen is located near there). She saw Karla as she passed. Karla was talking to some ponies whom she didn't recognize. She trotted backwards and back into the doorframe of the front room after realizing. She walked into the room and introduced herself to the ponies. "Hi," she said. "I'm Dusk. What's your name?"

[RAGESTAR 479]

Masque had been following the group of travellers since they first began their search for the manor, and now that they had seemingly led him to the front door, he just had to slip his way inside. He took a deep breath, then exhaled, before trotting confidently up to the doorstep, behind the group. "Greetings, everypony! I was taking a relaxing walk, to enjoy this wonderful night, and I seem to have gotten lost...may I come in and seek shelter?~" he asked, his voice very baratone and pleasing to the ear, with an accent straight out of Prance. And there was an odd gleam in his eyes...something that just wanted you to trust and help him.

 

(Is this alright for an entry? I didn't know how I should start off, lol.)

[EpicRainbow275 21]

Dusk looked towards the newcomer. She smiled warmly, unconsciously letting her fangs show, and greeted the stallion. He was handsome, and his voice very smooth. His Prench accent was very romantic; not that she loved him or anything. "Hi, there," she said. "I'm Dusk. And you are?"

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Karla notices the new pony who just seemed to trot up without fear. Karla noticed his eyes and looked to the side, recognizing the reason for their glow. She couldn't believe he was one of the ponies with THAT kind of ancient blood. She heard of some ponies who long ago had such eyes during the days of when her father was alive. "Greetings. I assume you are here like the others then too. If you may, please come on in. I'm sure you all are tired.

Violia soon made it and she met up with the other ponies at the front door of this manor. She noticed a odd pony with the group and she knew he wasn't with them before. She shrugs it off and notices Karla at the door. She figured that she must of been the headmistress.

Masque smiled charmingly back at her. "My name, is Black Masquerade. I am a humble actor, hailing from Prance. I have heard tell that ponies down here are quite pleasant." he said.

Masque then looked to Karla, the mare who seemed young enough, but sounded much older. He knew that she wasn't normal, though, when he saw that she refused to look imto his eyes. "Thank you, mistress~ what a lovely home you have!" He said.

[EpicRainbow275 21]

Dusk smiled a toothy smile. Now her fangs were really visible, but she didn't mind. He seemed nice enough. "Nice to meet you! Actors are cool. I guess that explains your Cutie Mark, because actors portray different personalities from their own. So, you guys kinda hide behind a metaphorical mask when you're in character. Isn't that right? Oh, uh, sorry. I get a little carried away. I can get a little too philosophical." Dusk smiled nervously. "I enjoy acting once in a while, just for fun. It's really fun and interesting to explore different characters and put myself into their horseshoes. Woops, there I go again." Dusk was feeling sort of self-conscious right about now. She looked down at her hooves, almost ashamed of herself.

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

Karla smiles and giggles. "It's okay, Dusk. We all have our interests." Karla walks by to let the four guests in. "If you all will excuse me, I will retrieve my other two residents here." Karla says as the door shuts by itself once they were all in. Violia wasn't sure what was in store for them but she prays they are not at risk of their lives being ended. Violia takes note that Karla and Dusk are both vamponies but despite their friendly appearance, she still want to be careful. She didn't want to do anything to offend or threaten them.

She looked down at her hooves, almost ashamed of herself.

Masque noticed her fangs and noted to remind himself to never stick his neck out around this mare. He kept calm, though, and gave her a kind smile, putting a hoof under her chin and gently raising her head to look int his eyes. "It's alright, my dear. You do not have to be ashamed. I am flattered that you enjoy my artform so much! And yes, you are correct about your guess with my cuptie mark. I have quite the knack for...making other see me how I want them to see me." he said, chuckling inwardly at his inside joke.

[EpicRainbow275 21]

Dusk blushed as Masque comforted her. She felt a little better, but still a little embarrassed. She was a very sensitive and self-conscious pony. She was very friendly and sweet, but still had a sort of low self esteem. Her inner sadness and shame came out now and then. "Thank you," she whispered, with a sort of voice crack. The voice crack wasn't ugly sounding, but sort of cute. " She smiled at him.

Masque chuckled and bowed gracefully. "You are very welcome, my dear~" he said. As he flirted and made friends with the mare, Masque was also scoping out tne houses decour and possibly valuable antiques that were located here and there around the house. "Many things here seem like they would fetch a decdnt price on the black market...but I think I'll look around a little longer before I start getting stick hooves." He thought.

 

((I almost made a BIG mistake, lol. I almost put "said" instead of "thought"))

Dusk blushed again. She found his last statement about the black market odd, but she shrugged it off. He didn't seem like he would steal anything and sell it. He was too nice. She shouldn't worry. Dusk was always worrying about things. She felt kind of awkward now so she flew to her bedroom and closed the door behind her. She grabbed a book off the shelf and began to read on her bed. If I Stay, was the name of the book. She opened the book. The cover was done very well. She was hooked at the first sentence. She couldn't stop. She would eventually lose track of time.

Masque raised an eyebrow at how quickly she flew off to, what he assumed, was her room, shutting the door behind her. He knew that she would be a great ally, but a dangerous enemy. "Cute and quick...I like her...I hope she isn't spooked by me..." he thought, before turning to Karla.

 

(Uh...sorry about that, I edited my last post to change "said" to "thought". My bad! Lol)

Karla smiles as she could sense Void and Stormlight in their rooms. She enters Stormlight's room first and knocks on her door to be sure she wasn't busy. "Stormlight, we have guests in the main lobby. You can go say hello if you like." she then moves on to Void's room. "Void, we have guests." Karla then changes her tone. "Also if you see Masque walking about, keep an eye on him. I don't trust him and you are welcome to feed on him if you deem it necessary. The colt has a Masquerade Mask for a cutiemark." Karla's tone suggests her mistrust for this Masque.

 

(Karla has moved on already RAGE.)

@,

 

Void got up instantly and hissed in a strange manner.

"If I deem necessary? I will judge that, feeding at the moment for me is needed anyway" He said as if he was trying to persuade himself to not feed on new arrivals.

"Thank you for the information Karla"

He hopped of his chair and headed out the door to the staircase to go to the lobby area. 

[Stormlight 1,371]

Storm gets off her bed and opens the door. She shuts it slowly and goes towards the guests in the lobby. She shyly smiles and and welcomes them. "Well, I never thought I would see visitors here. Welcome to Darkside Manor, I'm Stormlight, but you can call me Stormy."

Masque smiled back at her kindly, looking her in the eyes. "Greetings, my dear!~ I am Black Masquerade, a lost traveller and humble actor." he said, bowing. "Does she have fangs as well? She seems to live here, so I'll just assume so...this job might be more dangerous than I thought..." he thought, still smiling at her.
