"That would be an accurate description. This one was built to imprison The Beast after all."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 8:41 pm

"And the memories surrounding it?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 8:47 pm

"Only those tainted by The Beast."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 8:51 pm

"And I've a feeling it's far older than most things around here."

They both give her a funny look, as if she had been residing under a rock.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 9:18 pm

"I'm not a civilian. I've been invited in."

by **John Hino** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 9:22 pm

"Then where's your Seal of Imperial Authority?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 9:28 pm

"How about you phone this one in, and you won't embarrass yourselves any further?"

They looked at each other, then back at her.

"Sorry Ma'am. He's a stickler for paperwork," the one answered, "Go on in." The other snickers.

"Thank you. I wasn't particularly wanting to force the matter," she said as she stepped in.

Inside is not a palace at all, but a relatively modest mansion whose meticulously landscaped grounds are enclosed by a wall. Sam could easily determine that this, at least, was an unburied memory.

"Seems the repairs inside are going a bit quicker," she mused as she ventured further in.

by **John Hino** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 5:42 pm

The house and yard were silent as she approached. This is broken as a soft sobbing becomes audible.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 6:12 pm

Quirking a brow, she turned towards the sound.

by **John Hino** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:09 pm

The source was drifting from a door on the side on the large house. It was open a crack.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:12 pm

Cautiously, Ms. McManus had her avatar open the door.

by **John Hino** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:32 pm

The door opened onto stairs leading down into darkness.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:34 pm

"And that's not ominous at all," she murmured and started to descend.

by **John Hino** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:45 pm

At the bottom was a closed oak door. The sobbing was louder here.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:23 pm

"Hello, can you hear me?" She ventured with first.

by **John Hino** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:29 pm

There was a pathetic sniff.

"Go... go away..." a child's voice said.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 10:36 pm

"I'm not here to hurt you."

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 5:09 pm

"But I might hurt you..." the sad voice answered.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 5:33 pm

"You think so, do you?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:05 pm

"I'm... dangerous..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:31 pm

"Are you what everyone here is guarding?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 7:39 pm

"I am... but so is he."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:47 pm

"Who's he?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:54 pm

"The Beast Who Rages."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:57 pm

"And who are you, to be locked up like this?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:02 pm

"Someone who gets people hurt."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:07 pm

"That's not really an answer."

by **John Hino** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:12 pm

"...Johnny..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 9:31 pm

"You sound rather young, Johnny..."

by **John Hino** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 10:50 am

"I'm eight and a half," the sad boy answered somewhat defensively.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:49 am

"Then why would a little boy like you think he's dangerous?"

by **John Hino** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 1:41 pm

"I..." he sniffed miserably, "... bit Mister Davidson..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 1:44 pm

"That must have been a long time ago..."

by **John Hino** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 1:47 pm

"So? People don't bite people."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:01 pm

"Was he alright?"
