Roads of Fate -> Looking for players!!!

((:O I had completely forgotten about this))

Soon after the first two minutes had gone by, Dania was trying not to fidget, and it didn't help that her nose was itching. 'Goodness,' complained the woman, 'you're moving around more than a puppy who's spotted a fly to play with! I keep having to resketch you! Please, sit still!'
'How can I? This place is boring anyway,' Dania replied. The woman's face first turned pale, then red with rage. 'GET OUT!' she screamed, 'OUT!!!!!' And Dania fled from the little shop, from the woman who loved painting. She gulped and ran back to the park, glancing back every few seconds, as if the woman's anger would follow her.

((No problem ^^))

Hubert let go an annoyed sigh as a group of younger teenagers sat nearby and started to chat loudly. The boy looked at his notes and book. Fortunately, he had almost finished everything he needed to do. With another sigh, he decided to put his things back in his bag. It would be enough studying for now. He pondered over staying at the table to eat his lunch, but a new group of teenagers joining the first one discouraged him from doing so. He got up, gently clapping on his leg to call Colleen. The dog woke up quickly and followed her master. Hubert had no really destination in mind. He just wandered through the park, lost in his thoughts.

[killerkitty]

'Ow! Watch where you're going, you git!' shouted Dania, bumping into someone, even though it was her own fault for not looking ahead. 'Oh, it's you.' She gave him a displeased look.

Hubert stepped back and replaced his glasses on his nose before looking at the annoyed girl in front of him. Lost in his thoughts as he was, he had not noticed the girl coming toward him. Or maybe it was the girl's fault... "Oh, uh," he muttered, trying to find what to say. "Hm, sorry. Are you ok?" he asked politely.

[killerkitty]

'I'm fine,' said Dania. Then her face softened slightly. 'And you, are you okay? I'm sorry I bumped into you.' Dania was itching to get away.

[Maeve]

"I'm ok, thanks," Hubert said, trying not to look annoyed or anything. "Anyway, have a nice day," he said before he moved around the girl and started walking away. He wanted to find a nice calm spot to eat, and from what he remembered of the girl, she wasn't the kind of people he would get along with very well. Or at least it was the feeling he had. He let go a small sigh and pursued his road, Collen at his side.

Dania sighed. For once she had nothing to do on Saturday. Anny and Jo had gone on a trip, Sarah had to go with her mum somewhere, Lola had dance class and Silvia was probably trying to get through her usual pile of homework that collected over the week. She had been planning to go out shopping, but she didn't feel like that that moment. What to do, oh, what to do today.

[Maeve]

Hubert had finally found a suitable place. He walked toward a large maple tree, in a clearing a bit remote from the rest of the park and surrounded by small bushes. That would be the perfect place to relax! He sat down near the roots of the tree and his dog came to lay down beside him. He opened his bag and grabbed his lunchbox, quickly opening it. The long walk he had done to come here had finished using all the energy he had, and now he was really hungry. He took a small bottle of juice out, as well as a large sandwich, and started to eat, enjoying the sounds of the birds up in the branches. For some reason, he thought about the girl he had met earlier, but quickly chased those ideas away.

[killerkitty]

Dania trudged back home, back to her mansion. What would she do there? Do her homework? As if. She got out the key just as she was going to fit it in a lock, one of the maids burst out, screaming. She stumbled over Dania and disappeared. Dania walked in, wondering what the maid had been frightened of. She called out. No reply. Someone would usually welcome her home, but no one today.
She walked up the stairs and along a corridor to her father's bedroom. She slowly opened the door. Dania gasped, and fell to her knees.

Hubert had finished his lunch quickly. Apparently, some local club was having a family day at the park, and it was becoming way too noisy to the boy's tastes. With a few sighs, he had decided to return back to his parents' home. There would probably be a nice calm spot in the garden surrounding the property, or somewhere else where he could finish his homework in peace.

Passing in front of a large mansion, he heard a loud scream. Hubert wondered if he should go see what was happening. Not that he really care, but the house was pretty close to his own. He followed the alley to the main door. Seeing a maid running toward him and screaming, he stopped, wondering what to do. Though, the woman only passed beside him and followed her road, leaving him perplexed. With a shrug, he decided to pursue to the main building, keeping Colleen close to him, just in case.

The boy entered the main hall and stopped, wondering how he could explain his presence here. He was also a bit frightened, though he didn't want to admit it. All the large houses of the area had a bunch of maids and employees, and he couldn't see any around, which was unusual. He called out, trying to stay calm. "Someone's here?" he just said, not finding anything better at the moment. He resisted the envy of wandering through the house though, and waited for an answer.

[killerkitty]

Dania checked her father's pulse. He didn't have one. She gulped and felt tears run down her nose. She gently pushed his eyelids down over his eyes. She pressed her hand against his chest, with no beating heart anymore. Wait... blood? But that meant that he had been murdered. Dania looked around in search of someone who could've done it, her blonde curls falling over her eyes.

[Maeve]

Hubert was starting to be nervous, though he didn't really understand why. Maybe it was the scream he had heard before, or the fact that he seemed alone in this mansion... Suddenly, he thought he heard noise coming from upstairs. He turned his head and looked around him for a second, wondering what to do. With a shrug, the boy decided to go see what was going on. He climbed half the stairs and stopped, waiting for a few seconds before he called out one more time. "Is someone home? I heard a scream and saw a maid running away..."

Colleen stayed by her master side, growling a little from time to time. Apparently, the dog was nervous too. She followed her master up the stairs, leaning against his leg, to reassure herself and protect him.

[killerkitty]

Dania heard a voice. It sounded like the boy she had met in the park. She tried to wipe away her tears but more came. 'Why did you come here?' she sobbed, hoping he would go away. She did not want him to find her in this state.

[Maeve]

Hubert stopped and took a few seconds before answering. Judging from the voice only, the person who had answered wasn't too happy to see him here. Should have guessed that, he thought, readjusting his glasses on his nose. "Well, uh," he started, having some troubles finding the right words. "I saw someone running away and screaming, so I was wondering if everything was alright..."

The boy hoped it made a good enough excuse, because frankly he couldn't think of anything else right now. He wondered if he should pursue his way upstairs, so he could at least talk face to face with the voice, but refrained from doing it now. He would wait for an answer first.

[killerkitty]

'Well if you see someone screaming, then I'd think you'd have enough intelligence to figure out that everything's not okay!' snapped Dania. She stared down at her father's pale face. '...Please don't go away,' she finally said, although she was unsure of whom she was talking to.
