| That's so cool! I saw a magpie today. It's always a good day when I see a magpie. They're such cool birds! And their tails are so long and beautiful. And the black and white is so stunning against a Beijing sky. Swallows and magpies are my two good luck birds, tbh. Local legend is that they're lucky, and I'm not superstitious but I still get so happy when I see them. | (The whole book with the Magpie clan of vampires has ... so many magpie rhymes. XD One rhyme being 'one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, six for silver, seven for gold, eight for a secret never to be told'. I think that's how it goes anyway. Mal's last name is also de (the) Magpie, but spelled fancy. So I'd need to see it to spell it right.)

The thief had been thinking during his time back in his own world. He hadn't gotten a lot of time, only a couple minutes perhaps, because he had been interrupted during the previous blink. Now he was blinked back in, into a misty street he assumed, though he could only just see the cobblestones under his bandaged feet and not the walls anymore. He could hear the mob, as well as whoever was commanding them. As far as he could assume, they were in a room. If not, it was another major House event of some sort, but he was willing to bet on the former over the latter. His shambling steps were slow. The thing was, he could just hear the blinkers from before. The large dragon was easy, but unless Enjolras had blinked out and the other newbies weren't that adept, than it was likely that they had removed themselves a bit from what was soon becoming a front lines. He wasn't sure if he was thinking right ... but if he was assuming correctly then there was two options. Either the aim of this room was to escape the mob or somehow combat it. Maybe not directly. He'd seen - was seeing the retreating forms of - an imprisoned man who didn't seem to be resisting. A blinker? Another newbie? It didn't seem likely. But it was possible that it was the House's goal. It couldn't just be a small, inserted scene for effect. Okay ... so ... the goal was probably to convince at least some part of the group of the other blinker to go after ... whoever that was. Right? Kid didn't call out. Instead, he turned and started shambling (as best as a mummy could manage), in another direction. He needed to find a blinker. Hopefully Enjolras was around to take care of the others ....

Sure thing broken ! Aaaand I have no idea who to use so have The Doctor. XD ) Blinking into the living room, a pair of oblong welding glasses positioned over her face, The Doctor was scowling at something that was either very hard to make out, very small, or just hadn't come along with her when she'd blinked into the House. Considering the intensity of which she remained staring at her hands, it was probably not the latter option. With a short blink (unable to be seen under the glasses) she looked up. "Ah!" she said, slight excitement escaping into her voice.

(Sorry if I butcher his personality, but here goes)
Mikaela appeared in the living room, glaring at the letter in his hands for a few seconds before crumbling it up, tossing it to the floor. "This is ridiculous-" the young vampire immediately stopped as soon as he realized where he was. "Please no, I thought I finally escaped this place and it's annoying blinkers," he mumbled, just staring at the only other person in the room. "You seem too happy to be here."

(Oh you're fine! And now I should be around a bit now I'm not moving. ) The Doctor looked amused that Mikaela was having such a reaction. "Ya could always look on the bright side of appearin' here." She nodded at the surrounding area. It didn't look that impressive, but she was clearly trying to convince the vampire otherwise. "And I suppose I am. It is all a bit of a new experience." Her lips twitched with slight amusement. "I haven't blinked in very often. Why do ya hate it so much?" She inclined her head a bit.

(Alrighty!)
Mikaela stared at her blankly. "Really? Well first I'd rather be in my world since this is just a waste of my time. No matter what we try, we're never going to escape," he replied with a sigh. "And most of the blinkers are annoying." He looked away from her as he took a seat in one of the chairs. "I don't know, maybe it's just me who thinks that." The teenager lifted his gaze to her again. "Do you actually have friends here?"

"Not necessarily," said The Doctor brightly. "I never said anything about escape. But that doesn't mean there isn't anything here which can assist ya." Her voice was open and willing to be argued with. She was just stating her opinion. "I don't know many blinkers." Which she didn't. She had just me a few. "So I'm not sure whether they are annoying or not." She didn't get annoyed very easily. "I don't have any friends here. Not yet at least." She leaned against a chair instead of sitting in it. "There is, however, something else I can gain from this regardless of it not effecting my world." She moved the glasses over her eyes. "It can be pretty fun."

Mikaela just shrugged. He hadn't been in many rooms, so he didn't exactly know if anything could actually help them. "Eh maybe you're right. I just doubt it. Every room I've been in tried to kill. It has to be a twisted game to one of the blinkers here," he said softly. He shrugged and eyed her, running a hand through his blonde hair. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Well I don't come here much, but anytime you're here I wouldn't mind talking. So far, you're not as bad as others, I just can't believe you think this is fun. We're trapped here until we go back to our world and there's nothing we can do about it." He shook his head leaning forward. "But maybe I just complain to much." After a moment, he stood up and crossed his arms. "I mean, we can try to find something 'fun' to do if you'd like.

A new blinker appeared in the living room, swooping through the space near the ceiling. She banked, cutting back around to avoid the wall with a peculiar fluidity of movement. The swallow, for a swallow it was, took another loop around the living room as if scanning the area, trying to figure out where the grey skies had gone. The birds wings moved with all the fluid and yet jerky motions one was accustomed to with watching sparrows, but if one paid attention, there were movements where a wing might not be clearly defined. Less like a bird and more like an idea of a bird- fluid strokes of ink moving across a living canvas. Landing on the top of the bookshelf, the form solidified, changing from that flowing form that was defined by her movement to a little bird- curving wings and a long tail, bright little black eyes. She tilted her head curiously as she eyed the two blinkers. There were no other swallows here; here, she was not an anonymous watcher who could blend in with the background. She figured that she may as well address them. "Weí? Do you know where this place is?" The voice of the bird was lyrical, rising and falling with the grace of a singer, though lacking any softness.

Sure enough, it was only a few moments before the situation went from bad to worse. With the dragon lashing out, there was no way for the blinkers to say they wanted no quarrel with the mob. And besides, they probably wouldn't listen anyways. Enjolras had scrambled away from the dragon unharmed. The vampire could see a few other blinkers, though he had lost track of some. Hearing Sky's cry of pain, he murmured a quiet curse and started to make his way towards her, hoping he could get to her and get the two of them to the alley. Kid was... Somewhere. Hopefully the older blinker could manage himself. Enjolras made it over to Sky, the situation with the soldiers and the woman going on in the background. For a human, it might have been too much to process, but for some reason Enjolras felt that he was able to understand the voices far better. Oh, right, the vampire thing.
For whatever reason, there was a man- apparently the source of the mob's anger- being dragged on to the platform. There seemed to be talk that he was the one who had summoned or created them. Of course, they were wrong; it was the House who blinked them in and changed them- wait. What if this man was an agent of the House... Or even a manifestation of the place itself? Enjolras couldn't quite believe that the House would reveal any aspect of itself, but maybe it had to. At any rate, they needed answers. They needed to rescue that man from the mob. "We have to rescue that man- the one on the platform! They're saying he's the one behind it! He might have answers!" He shouted, hoping that Kid and the others would hear him. He'd try to help Sky first, then see if they could regroup with the others.

| Hi falcon!! Hector and Mal are in a bubble room but because of time zones it's basically regulated to slow rp, so if you're ok with that throw someone in!! Otherwise, there's a monster room. Dia has a long post on the previous page describing some plot. I am a little bit lost but I'll do my best to write up a good post for that in a moment. And the. Living room, yeet! | | Aaaa I'm tempted to blink someone into the living room | | Seven magpies are lucky in China! Because seven sounds like the word happy, which sounds like the first half of magpie. Actually because of that for Chinese numbers I know 1,2,3, and 7 XD totally nonlinear. | (You gotta see my roast. master acesassinToday at 7:02 PM i misread that as you were going to drop touka so you needed to wrap things up with her and raineh i was so sad banned from all 51 statesToday at 7:02 PM damn you’re right NEVER master acesassinToday at 7:02 PM GOOD banned from all 51 statesToday at 7:02 PM

I can't believe Clo isn't here so they can't see me quietly roasting them. I'm freaking terrified of this new MV series that Rachel Caine mentioned, now I come to think of it.

The Doctor was briefly distracted by the bird appearing in the living room. She looked up and waved a bit. She had no idea who they were, but that didn't stop her from waving. "Yes. It's the Paradox House." She then launched into an explanation that might as well have been described as technobabble for the likelihood that no one in the room was going to understand. It was clearly about the House, but in language far above anyone in the room's understanding. The Doctor then looked at Mikaela like she thought he understood what she had said, but instead just answered his previous statements. "Thank ya. I'd love to talk more. And not all the rooms have tried to kill me. So I at least know they aren't all deadly. Some are practically educational. What fun did you have in mind?"
(My brain isn't good enough to come up with a Doctor ramble. But it was good, whatever it was.)

The moments went by in a blur, and Anika couldn't comprehend what was happening. Every form of thought was brief and almost promptly interrupted by HUNGRY. MUST. EAT. Suddenly, something jumped up at her. SNACK! How lucky it was, to have her food jumping at her like this! She opened her jaws, ready for the werewolf to land right in them, but something was amiss. It had not landed on her jaws. In fact, it was now sitting on her face. She snarled and a low growl escaped from her mouth. The dragon shook her head in attempt to get the creature off. That wasn't enough. It landed a blow to her eyes. Thankfully, the creature's weight was off her body moments later. She didn't know whether it had been eaten by another head or if it had finally fallen to the ground, but she was glad to have it gone. Unfortunately, the animal's attack had been successful and the plague-aligned head had been blinded. The mist had been thick and hard to see through to begin with, but this just made things worse. It doesn't matter whether they've set this up or not. Don't take risks. Destroy. Trust no one, at last, a few uninterrupted thoughts entered her mind. At this point, she was ready to destroy. She was willing to be consumed by hunger, to become a mindless beast again. But at the same time, there was something in her that didn't want to. She didn't understand - destroying seemed like the logical option. Trust no one. The blinded head let out a sigh, trying to get her thoughts together. What was happening? Meanwhile, the other ten heads continued to act rogue - attacking the ground below, growling, and scavenging for food.

Mikaela stared at the bird suspiciously, not trusting it one bit. Especially since it could talk. However, he just let The Doctor so the talking, since he's probably just complain about the House more to the new blinker. He was too focused on the bird that he had hardly heard that the lady was talking to him. "Hm?" Interestinf, he didn't think of the rooms as being educational but he could see where she was coming from. "Um I don't know. I thought you had something in mind." He paused for a minute, then glanced back at the bird perched on top if the bookcase, smirking. "Maybe this bird would like a tour of the place?"

Hector put one foot back as Maladict nearly slid into him, the quick reaction of a soldier who doesn't want someone close behind him. Except, instead of finding purchase to steady himself, the movement caused his sandaled feet to slip among the suds. He threw his arms out, feet slipping up in front of him. He yelped some kind of curse that the House declined to translate. He landed on his back, instantly sinking into the foam. The Trojan quickly sat up, a few straw bubbles clinging to his dark curls. "This... is unexpected." He said dryly. There wasn't really anyway to maintain ones dignity whilst covered in bubbles. | Remember that one vine where the dude's like "I have a banana peel on the ground, and I'm going to see if it's as slippery as it is in the cartoons" and then he just wipes the foops out? That's your reference. XD | Maladict slid a bit where he was standing to avoid running into Hector. This didn't mean that he was keeping his balance, but it did mean he was better at it. It just involved moving as little as possible and stepping very, very carefully. It was a vampire thing. Still, that didn't mean he was steady. He swayed back and forth, hands out, to keep his equilibrium. There was more to this than just soap. The floor was made of something that wasn't quite solid. "You look like you just aged sixteen years," commented Mal as he watched Hector sit up after being dumped into the suds. "I'd offer a hand up, but I don't want to join you down there. Try shifting to your knees and then working up from there." (I have hardly seen any vines but that is pretty funny.)
