*was lurking*

A short elf in a short red wig poked her head into the mansion. Seeing no one around, she dragged her husband into the room by his arm.

"Arty! This is gonna be so much fun!" she squealed with excitement.

"Yes, fun, Holly..." He was entirely unamused.

This elf was wearing a long black dress with deep green accents and Artemis was matching her in a black suit (what else) and a deep green tie.

(ok... I'm going to bed now... lurking is tireing... *stumbles off*

Maeve pokes her head around the door and takes in the hall with a kind of bemused detachment. Her attire is dark and gloomy, as befits the setting. She sees the bright Holly and her husband Arty, but keeps her distance, waiting for more people to arrive. A shiver runs up her spine as she gazes about the mansion's interior. It will be a perfect place to write some especially dark and spooky poetry she decides.

(Kitoky, I’ve PMed you my alias profile along with my everyday AU identity, but the PM is still in the outbox at the moment – it should get to you soon though! )

Evening went lightly up the steps that led to the huge, gothic doors of the forbidding mansion, not seeming to mind the cold stone on her bare feet, and looked round inside. There were a few guests there already; she gave a small smile and closed the doors behind her.
She was a slim, elegant woman with a shimmering cloak the shade of autumn over her white gown. Her skin was pale, and her hair was honey-auburn. She was probably human, but she seemed a different type of creature altogether; her resistance to the cold, certainly, marked her out as unusual. She lifted her hand in greeting to the other guests, the gesture friendly and graceful.
Evening gazed around at her surroundings. She had never seen any place quite so grand and austere as this mansion; she wondered what it would be like staying here for the week, indoors for such a long amount of time. She liked nature and moonlit walks. Walking, in fact, was one of her favourite pastimes, so much so that she was considered a wanderer, wandering here and there as she would.
Finally, she spoke. “What a lovely place! Such atmosphere!” It was not quite certain exactly who she was addressing, even if she was addressing anyone; her tone was vibrant and her smile, in it’s pleasantness, slightly disarming. She crossed the space from the front door, her footsteps soft and quiet.

TT paused by the gate to the mansion, and took it all in. She felt somewhat hesitant to walk up those stairs, and into the house, which looked so foreboding. But still... It was somewhat intriguing. TT manage to walk quite resolutely, until she reached the front door. Should I knock? Unsure, she went by her natural inclination: to knock before entering an unfamiliar house (especially when the house looked rather frightening...) The sound of TT's hand, tapping on the wood, resonated in a creepy sort of sound....

Sparkle graciously strode over the green lawn towards the large mansion. As the full moon appeared from behind dark clouds it seemed that a bright, glittering figure was approaching the large wooden doors. This because Sparkle's white dress, which was covered with pearls, was shining in the moonlight. In her ears two sparkling glass-formed earrings flaunted and her numerous bracelets tingled softly so that her entrance was made under a mysterious melody.
In front of the door she watched TT who hesitantly was knocking the door. "No no.. sweetie" she murmered with a smile. "There's no need to knock." Her white teeth were perfectly complement to her sparkling appearance.
With a confident move, Sparkle opened the doors . Her smile was radiant, her appearance shining as always.
"Good evening!" she cried to the guests with spread arms. "I'm so happy to be here."

Nurr bounded excitedly towards the mansion. Last year's events had brought her a new best-seller. What might happen this year? She had recently taken some poetry workshops. Perhaps a collection of spooky Hallow'een poems?

"Good evening!" She shouted as she pushed through the doors - and stopped dead. (Not literally though.) Everyone was so pretty! And dressed up. Nurr looked sheepishly at her comfy jeans and turtleneck. Her one nod to vanity was the thick green cloak, but it seemed plain in comparison to the sparkling dresses of the other women. Oh well. "I suppose "Inadequate" could be the title of the first one," she joked to herself. "Or perhaps "What not to wear to a party."

going on a journey through my old claims

Dancing light-footed across the [whatever is in front of the mansion.. hmmm...] cobble stoned path towards the huge oaken door of gloomy mansion appeared a figure clad all in black. Black slender leather boots thread an intricate pattern under a flowing black skirt made of layers upon layers of the lightst tulle. The rest of the figure disappeared in a dark purple hooded cloak.

The figure made her way directly towards the entrance, giving the door a light push and entering the hall. People had already gathered at the foyer, a colourful crowd of various races and personalities.

"Oh, wonderful", she exclaimed in excitement as she let her dark grey-green eyes wander the room noticing familiar faces among the guests.

"Greetings everyone". Eä - who was indeed the person under the cloak - nodded to [whoever of Kit's servants is on cloak-duty this evening] the servant as she left her cloak, revealing a tight black, rather burlesque corset under the cloak and long black gloves [oh wow, I really had no idea Eä was dressed for party tonight. ].

Making her way through the crowd she greeted and nodded and introduced and made the appropriate compliments fitting for a gathering like said one.

Holly, who had been sleeping on a conveniant sofa, perked up at the sight of voices. Shaking Artemis's arm, she woke the boy genius and skipped around the room, greeting everyone she saw.

Now that she was awake enought to pay attention, she was a little nervous. The house was a creepy place, not at all like Arty's mansion in Ireland. It gave her a bad feeling...

Halfway across the lawn, Elenya paused and looked about. The mansion looked suitably spooky, surrounded by creaking trees that had shed most of their leaves. She shivered as a cool wind brushed past, then continued on her way to the mansion.

Pushing the large doors open, she stepped inside out of the cold. Her eyes widened as she looked around at the beautiful clothing people were wearing. She had chosen to go casual, with jeans and a t-shirt, under a jacket and scarf. Oh well. Elenya walked to one side of the room and leaned against the wall, watching her fellow party goers.

Evening smiled at all the arrivals to the mansion. This was looking to be quite a gathering! She didn’t usually attend parties; mostly she kept to herself. But socializing was a pleasant change. She was about to say something – having only commented on the lovely atmosphere of the mansion thus far – when suddenly what appeared to be a headless horseman crashed through the doors, bearing various apple-related gifts. Now that was slightly unusual, Evening mused, but it didn’t at all trouble her. The fact that he didn’t have a head was a curiosity, but not particularly scary.
Evening had, after all, encountered many strange creatures over the years.
“Well this looks to be an excellent evening,” she said eventually in her usual, warm, to-no-one-in-particular-way. “Apples for the bobbing. A huge, grand mansion. What a Samhain it’ll be!”

Stepping to the side as Eliza entered carrying the headless, Eä did a twirl in feigned surprise - although it could be debated whether the real reason for the move was to try out her fluffy tulle skirt!

Upon seeing the hostess Eä flutterd into another twirl of excitement.
"Oh welcome, welcome" She exclaimed, before remembering who held the title as host.

"Oh..."
"I mean, thank you! It's great to be here!"
adding in a mumble "And now where's the food?"

Eä held out her hand, waiting for someone to accompany her to the dining room.
