Fandom Beauty & the Beast

[Ekmion Amundok]

Once upon a time.........
In a far away land, there lived a young Prince. A man named Adam who's father died when he was seventeen, proved to be the most generous and kindhearted than any of his parents before him. For six months he ruled with the aid of his father's closest advisor.
But one night a mysterious visitor knocked upon the door and begged for shelter in return for a rose. Going against his advisor's warnings, Adam led the man in and provided a room. The visitor asked to not be disturbed and closed the door. He was never seen since.
The next morning, the entire castle awoke, the people having found themselves transformed into antiques, furniture, and dishes, searched for the visitor from the previous night. But it was all in vain. Having found himself in the form of a beast, Adam closed the gates to his palace, afraid of what his faithful subjects might do if he was found in his hideous form.
One more thing the stranger left behind was a magic mirror that allowed him to look at the outside world.
He grew lonely and depressed, watching as his servants slowly lost their humanity, and the petals fell from the rose like an hourglass showing the passage of time.

[Doctor Poison]

So do we rp here?

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

(Yus. And to avoid confusion, I always put out of character chat in parentheses if not in the OOC thread.)

 

[Doctor Poison]

(OOC: So is it my turn?)

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

(Yus. I be fairly sure that Belle sings in the beginning. I'm less interested in making it a musical though.)

 

[Doctor Poison]

(I'd rather not copy the movie or fairy tale)

 

[Doctor Poison]

Haruno was a doctor in the village. She was out treating a patient when she tried to take a shortcut back, but ended up getting hopelessly lost in the woods. She shivered. It was cold out at night... in her wanderings, she came upon a stately manor

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

(Sounds like a worthy challenge. Very well. I accept.)
The wind whistled through the frozen branches, the manor dark and seemingly unwelcoming. It lacked the light and the presence of anything human. Yet it seemed as if there were eyes watching.

 

[Doctor Poison]

I should turn back... but I'll just be walking all night... she tried the gates. If no one is here, I have a place to stay.

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

They moved with a creaking sound, and a screech suggesting it was not well kept. The courtyard was a dead garden. The only sign of life from this vantage point was a green house with rose bushes.
Something scuttered away before it was seen.

 

[Doctor Poison]

Haruno decided to walk through the gates, into the house. It had to be a little warmer inside, right?

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

(The green house?)

 

[Doctor Poison]

(Yeah)

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

As the doors to the green house were opened, a warm waft of air covered her like a blanket. The smell of roses followed as well.
Candles decorated the walls and filled the room with light.

 

[Doctor Poison]

What is this magic? The outside was completely abandoned, like it had been deserted for many years, but... someone is clearly living here now! It's so comfortable in here... I feel like someone... or something has been waiting for me. No, don't be silly... I have to go, I've broken in to a place that's already inhabited!

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

The thing scuttered again, this time past her legs and out into the courtyard.

 

[Doctor Poison]

Something is here... I knew that I felt like I was being watched! She bolted outside.

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

The small thing ran away from her towards the trees.
The air outside bit at her skin, and it seemed to start snowing heavily.
A voice from inside the green house shouted out to her, begging her to come back inside. It was followed by another that sounded more scolding, but it's words were muffled by a gust of wind that whipped her face and pulled her scarf off.

 

[Doctor Poison]

"Ah!" Haruno started to chase both after her scarf, and the thing. Something is going on here... and I'm going to find out what!

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

"My dear madam, please come back inside." A woman's voice came from within the greenhouse. "It is far too cold out there!"
"Shut up you fool! You'll have us exposed!"

 

[Doctor Poison]

Dear madam? No one calls me that... I'm just a doctor. "I'll be right back!" she picked up her scarf, hastily tying it around her neck and ran after the thing.

 

[Ekmion Amundok]

"Oh dear, she's gone after the dog."
The thing turned out to be a cowering footstool that was scratching at the bottom of the manor's double doors. The wind grew stronger as the flakes turned to clumps.

 

[Doctor Poison]

"What. The. Hell!" I have to be dreaming... wait, it wants in. Haruno tried the doors
