Deria nodded to the Horseman. "I, too, am a writer. Short stories, sometimes poetry, and making plans for a larger work." At Violet's question, she blinked slightly and said, "Ah, I wasn't aware I had one. I prefer roses, you see," she said, motioning to her dress and cloak. "Black if attainable. They have such a wonderful flair, wouldn't you say?"

Violet laughed and scribbled some more notes. "I actually like violets. They have such a lovely color...I write short stories too, mostly science fiction. But I've been wanting to write a murder mystery for some reason..." She waved her hand around at the mansion. "This seemed like the perfect place for inspiration."

Deria smiled slightly, a small curve of her lips. "Yes, I can see that. Personally I enjoy fantasy, with hints of mystery thrown in. Actually I believe that without any mystery, no story is ever good enough. Suspense, mystery, and concealment are arts and my pleasures. But you are indeed right about this setting. How much of it have you seen already? I'm afraid I spent my night attached to a wall."

"I like most things" chimed in The Horseman. "Even write a bit of poetry myself" he said puffing out his chest.

"I admittedly haven't seen much," Violet said. "I slept next to the window. My name's Violet, by the way, and that's another reason why I like them: they're named after me!" She chuckled again. "Ah, I write a little bit of poetry...not very much, though."

Deria smiled. "Was the floor by the window...comfortable? I didn't get any sleep at all, truth be told. I'll have to make myself get some tomorrow...tonight...sometime these weeks, anyhow. My name is Deria," she added. Fair was fair, and anything given must be returned. "I always enjoyed poetry. It goes hand in hand with music you know, which I do enjoy. And dancing, of course. The entrance hall would serve very well as a ballroom..."

"Dancing" said The Horseman as he overheard was Deria was saying. "I adore dancing" he said. "Although some people find it a bit disconcerting partnering me" he added with a sigh.

"I can't imagine why," she said with the hint of a smile. "You have such a winning personality." She really did smile that time. She was enjoying herself, actually, and thought that these next weeks would turn out to be an interesting time. "What sort of dancing do you do, Sir Horseman?"

Holly dazedly sat up from the couch where she had fallen asleep with her head conveniently-and-totally-not-on-purpose on Artemis's lap. Her wig was askew, and brown hair peeked out from under it. Sighing, she straightened her head-covering and prodded her husband in the stomach. Unfortunately, the boy was fast asleep and merely rolled off the sofa and onto the floor in a most undignified manner. So, the elf merely shrugged and went to the dining room to grab some breakfast.

Once there, Holly noticed an abserd amount of folks with various notebooks in hand. Not wanting to seem out of place, she rummaged in a messenger bag at her side and pulled out her notebook. A notebook computer that is. Plunking herself down in an empty chair, she attempted to turn it on... and discovered that not only was the battery dead, she had forgotton the power cord back in Ireland. She would have to revert back to pencil and paper.

Deria's voice cut through her foggy thoughts and Holly spoke up, "Attached to a wall? In this place? I haven't seen much of this old mansion, but it gives me the creeps already." The elf shivered.

TT entered the room in the middle of the Horseman and Deria's conversation. Smiling politely, she came up next to them.
"I admire anyone who can dance. It requires too much talent for me, I'm afraid."

"It wasn't very comfortable, actually," Violet answered Deria's question. "There was a horrible draft." She scribbled some more notes in her notebook. "I can dance," she added. "Kind of. Sort of. Not really. But I love music. My cousin was in a band, actually."

[I loved Yusef - and Pliff - not my fault someone failed to (re-)introduce them this year.. I just remember the servants storming off last year like a ghost was on their heels...! :P]


Eä who had been listening to the conversation from her favorite armchair, jumped to her feet as the topic turned to a favorite of hers.

"Pray tell, dear Algernon. So rarely do we have the pleasure of having the company of men who enjoy the art of swinging arms and legs to the rythmn of music."

TT raised her eyebrows at Violet Grape. "A cousin in a band? What did he... or she play?"

Upon, having eaten her fill of muffins, and pudding the night before, and having observed her surroundings and then having fallen asleep by another window. Fuschia woke with a start, and went to explore.

Upon having walked around absentmindedly, she suddenly found herself in the dining room, and staring ever so curiously at the Headless-Horseman, in awe, and mouth wide open

Deria looked at the new arrival and shrugged. "I moved into the corner when I arrived and didn't bother to move again. I always find it good to observe before, shall we say, taking action? As it is, there were enough people there; at least until they all went to bed. I wasn't sure if I should go search out some place to sleep, so I remained there." Deria watched as the computer was brought out unsuccessfully and smiled. "And that is why I stick with this," she said, raising her notebook. It really was quite elegant, in any case, with the red roses climbing the bottom right corner just as they climbed the corner of her cloak. She liked to be consistent if she was to be flamboyant at all.

She blinked as several more people joined them suddenly. Unsure what to do, she stood silently as the conversation blossomed.

Violet turned toward TT. "She was the lead vocalist in a rock band...I forget the name, something about Pumpkins. She was murdered last year, though, poor girl. And she had such a pretty voice..." She poured another glass of grape juice.
