Elliot felt a shift of emotion coming from the newcomer. He kept a rather serious composure, turning his head to pay no heed. Yet, he couldn't help but recall his discussion with Detective Sherlock. The detective mentioned a typical first-time reaction, and here he was witnessing something go through the motion. Actually-was that a safe assumption? Is he new, or am I still missing a detail or two?
His turquoise eyes relaxed, as by this point it was safer to conclude that the house had no intention to return him to his previous affair. He stretched his shoulders back, then let out a hefty sigh of relief. Seeing the stranger ponder now, he couldn't help but slightly lean forward, "To keep your health high, it be best you did not think when you shall return. Worry not, when this trickster's antics end, you will be returned. Most likely at the exact point, you previously were engaged in."
The stranger's words were slowly painting an image of his personality. Elliot silently nodded, with no opinion on the matter. It was not his job to agree nor argue if bold were to describe this stranger. In fact, he didn't care one bit, simply nodding as he listened to the man go on. One thing did impress Elliot about the stranger, his confidence.
Supreme Primarch Sandalphon... Elliot mentally noted. The concept was unfamiliar to him, then again this house always invites things that are unfamiliar to him. A world I have yet to visit? A concept yet to come? He pondered briefly. The stranger seemed very confident, even lost in his own mind.
At least, that's what Elliot thought until the stranger addressed him. Was it his turn to speak? To some extent, I am very glad this isn't- He stopped his own thoughts, returning his full attention to the stranger before him. His posture was already presentable but already was never good enough. He fixed himself, despite there being no noticeable change in his posture. "My name is Elliot Marwolaeth" He calmly spoke, bearing a serious demeanor. "Apologies for my rudeness, but may I return the question?" He referred to the stranger's identity.

Castiel blinked in to the living room with his trench coat crooked and a little wrinkled, and his messy black hair blown straight back, as though by a very strong wind. He stumbled and fell forward as soon as he touched the ground, falling hard on his hands as he barely saved himself with hitting the ground face first. He blinked down at the stained carpet now about two feet from his nose, recognized it, and slowly sat up to look around. This place again. When he’d gone back before, it had seemed obvious that this had all happened in his head like some kind of vision, funneled directly into his brain. But now that he was here again.... Well, it didn’t feel like that. But what else could it be? He didn’t like the idea that a creature powerful enough to pluck an angel from their world mid-flight and toss them somewhere else with apparent ease, but if that was it, he worried there was little he could do about it. At least, not until he knew a lot more than he did now. “Hello?” He said hesitantly, deciding it was best to break the silence in case any more people were trapped here with him.

The storm back in his own world had wiped Myrnin's hair into a fuzzy mess atop his head, wet from rain and dense rain at that. He was soaked and dripping, shivering ferociously from the water dripping off his clothing and into his mouth and eyes. He rubbed at his eyes and spit out the water, but his hair just dripped more into his mouth and down his face. He shivered more, arms going around his chest, but it didn't offer any comfort. He looked around, trying to figure out was happening. He sank to a seated position on the floor, teeth chattering, as he asked, "W-w-w-what's go-go-go-ing on?"

Castiel has just gotten to his feet when he heard the voice behind him and turned, his eyebrows knitting together at once as he saw who it was. A child, crouched like a half-drowned kitten on the floor, his hair tangled and streaming with icy water, leaving the tiny body cold, much colder than it should be. He was at the child’s side in a second, and in another, he had wrapped his trench coat firmly around the small shoulders. “Are you hurt?” He questioned, kneeling so as to look straight into Myrnin’s bright green eyes. “You’re in the, um...the Paradox House, I think.”

"I'll keep that in mind." That was good to hear. That meant the crew wouldn't even notice he'd been gone. It was better that way for now, at least until Sandalphon had a better understanding of what he was dealing with here.
As Elliot introduced himself back, the Primarch gave him a nod of greeting. The other's question caused him pause, his head tilting to the side in confusion. He just had introduced himself. Did it go over the other man's head?
"'Apologies your rudeness'? Nonsense, you've been more polite then half the other mortals I've met." He answered, waving his free hand dismissively. That was partially meant in jest, but the part about Elliot being polite was true. The primal tried his introduction again. "My name is Sandalphon. The current Supreme Primarch." Hopefully that stuck better.
Suddenly, the Primarch began to sense a presence that was both familiar and different at the same time, and his head flew around to see what it was, red eyes locking onto Castiel. The stranger had a similar aura to the rest of the angels back home, but obviously wasn't the same kind. For one, he had no Core and besides the angelic aura coming from him, his body was human. Sandalphon watched as the strange being went over to help a child that had also been brought in. The boy didn't seem to be having a particularly good day. "This place targets children as well?" He asked Elliot, voice holding a tinge of concern. Another new, worring development and all the more reason to find the beast doing this.

Sky blinked in on the couch in the living room. For a quick moment, she didn't even realize. But with a quick glance around, the brief feeling of serenity disappeared. She got to her feet, scanning urgently around. Where was this place? It definitely wasn't the Ravenclaw common room- that was for sure. Sky began to take deep breaths, before feeling in her pocket for her wand. She took it out and glanced around once more. "Hello?" She finally said. She hated how her voice sounded in that moment, tense and frightened.

Myrnin found himself buried in cloth, which wasn't exactly unpleasant, because it was warm and he was very wet. "T-thank y-you," he chattered, looking up at the man. He was dressed like Sherlock, but had a weaker chin. Something about him told Myrnin that this guy was nice ... but probably naive. It was just the way he talked to Myrnin. Maybe because he'd clearly not been in the House very long. "I k-k-know," said Myrnin, smiling. His lips were ever so slightly blue. "I've b-b-been here before. Who are all of you?" He looked first from Castiel and then to Elliot and finally at Sandalphon. He didn't know any of them, apart from maybe Elliot who looked a bit familiar maybe? "What's g-g-going on?" he added. He wasn't shivering as much now. Which apparently echoed the sentiment of the new blinker. The little boy looked over at her, eyebrows knitting together. Oh dear. Was it just him and Elliot who had been here before? "H-h-hello!" he said to her brightly.
(Welcome!)

Annabelle jumped as she appeared on the table in the living room, nearly falling off. Her legs were crossed in front of her, and she glanced around before sighing. "Right when the episode was getting good..." She pouted a little before slowly getting up, taking a better look around. Her eyes landed on another girl who was also in the living room and walked up to her. "Hi! You seem lost, are you new here?" she asked.

Sky looked at the four figures clustered together. Maybe they would have a clue of how she got here. She instinctively flattened her hair down over her left eye, with a cringe. Of course, a voice in her head said sarcastically, you need to look your best for strangers. She pushed the voice down, before making her way forwards. "Excuse me?" She said. "Um... Do you know where we are? Or why? Or... anything?"

Castiel tilted his head almost imperceptibly to the side as he realized that the boy wasn’t knew here, and that it was possible he knew more than the angel did. He already knew from meeting Steve in his last blink that this thing took angel and human alike, but he hadn’t expected a kid. What could the Paradox House possibly want with a child the age of the shivering boy in front of him? He shook his head, a small sigh escaping him before he could stop it. “My name is Castiel. I don’t know anyone else here.” He admitted, sitting back to give the boy a little space as he glanced at the others for the first time. There were more of them now, and none of them were Steve. Most of them looked as confused as he felt, with the possible exception of Elliot. He looked back down at Myrnin. “How many times have you been brought here?”

"Oh!" She mentally jumped. Sky's face flushed. "I-um... Might." She mumbled. "How do you know? Have you been here before?" She wondered how it was so obvious- Maybe because you stood up, asked where you were, and probably looked at least a little freaked out? the voice in her head said. It was really starting to get annoying.

Annabelle nodded. "Yep! Though for me it was a looooong time ago. Like, almost a year ago. So. Yeah." She smilled sweetly. "I'm Annabelle." She stuck out a hand for a handshake. "Welcome to the Paradox House! At least, that's what we call it."

"Because when you go back to your own place, no time has passed." Annabelle stated. "The House is like its own pocket dimension. I tried to talk to someone about it once, but chose not to in case that's illegal." She hummed a little, rolling her right shoulder. This girl just couldn't stand still.

Elliot's expression was at a loss, seeing Sandalphon's confusion. Had he spoken out of term? Mother would not only scold me for such ill representation, I can see her prepping the dungeon... He leaned back with a bit of force against his right shoulder. Being uncertain, he couldn't find himself the words to ask what was wrong.
Yet, the newcomer seemed to bring hope to the loss for words. When addressed once more, and even assured that he had not been rude, Elliot let out a sly sigh of relief. "It is reassuring to know that I am carrying out my duties with upmost respect." He was grateful for the positive reinforcement that he entirely missed the mortal comment. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sandalphon." He politely addressed. In the back of his head, the realization that the man had introduced himself earlier, was now clicking. Gods... he internally scolded himself. "If you do not mind adding to my inquiry, what tasks fall upon a Supreme Primarch?" his curiosity was too great to slide.
The title sounded like something of upclass nobility. Was it a form of government? A royal brand? leading alliance? Whatever it was, it would be in his best interest to better understand. Last thing he wnated, was to stumble into whatever reality the Supreme Primarch ruled over. Let alone, declare war-... While it was for the time being out of his control as to where the campaign moves, he could prolonge it, long enough for the lady seated in the highest seat to rest eternally. I find myself appreciating this man's company.... impressive.
Elliot's attention turned to the sound of voices. One...two... three, no wait four-four voices. It seemed like the house was full of its antics. Great While Elliot didn't have a particular gripe with anyone yet-it was such a shame to hear the room full of people.
His attention skimmed the newcomers. Two young ladies, a man and a boy. Yet, he couldn't confirm the count as final. This place liked to drag people midway through sentences after all. Angel? He blinked shifting his attention towards the gather crowd. Castiel was giving off the angelic vibes. hmmm
"The house does not hold back, so it seems." Elliot replied to Sandalphon's question. He considered the question again, the last time he interacted with a young child was, Arlo in the snow. But if this new kid was there too, then this house clearly cared not for chivalry. He glanced at the boy-Myrnin. Not really certain who the boy was, at least not at first. Something about the boy though was giving him a strange feeling. His scent was somewhat similar to someone else he had encountered. Can't be, can it?
The boy's gaze came his way, Elliot silently turned away. The last thing he wanted was to give off the wrong impression. Let alone a wrong one. The boy did seem occupied with Castiel. The other two girls seemed occupied with one another as well.
Now the angel, introduced himself. Castiel, Elliot mentally noted. It was bad enough that he missed one introduction, he would hate to miss another. It somewhat fascinated him to see everyone else's concern for the boy. Granted he agreed that the boy's protection was important above all else. I've tainted my code of chivalry as a knight to her highness, but here... Here, I can make amends even if only for a mere moment. He considered. He let the thought slide, as it was a consideration, a small one at best given the attention the boy had been given from the start.

"Wait, what? It's own dimension? How do you even get here?" Sky asked. She looked around quizzically once more. It just seemed like an old house. "Nevermind, forget it." She said. "How do I get out?" Even as she was asking this, her mind roamed. Did that mean that there were other dimensions? Was there a way to get to them? Or them to go into hers? She began imagining all sorts of possibilities.
