(The "almost-official" refers to the fact that while this is not sanctioned by... whoever our leader is, it IS the only RP we've got and I figured I ought to start it. ^_^ So... if someone doesn't like the way I'm portraying this thing, we can start over.)
There was a small, almost inaudible "pop" of dislocated air as a black-haired girl appeared in the entry hall of the mansion. "Is anyone here?" she called cautiously. Her two long, catlike ears pricked and swiveled curiously and her tail swished back and forth.
"Hello?" she called again. "I'm Elycien Thirecath, I came to take up a post in this worldlet." It was definitely a worldlet, she decided. Nothing full-scale here. It may develop to be more in time, but now... She sighed. No wonder the summons-charm didn't work properly through the borders of this place.
Still, she supposed even a worldlet would be quite a hassle to manage this job. But despite herself, she was curious. One hand unconsciously fingered the emerald at her neck as she considered. He'd told her that magic of a worldlet like this could be far different from anything she was used to. It varied enough from world to world, but in a place like this... Cautiously, she conjured a small ball of green fire. It burned merrily in the palm of her hand. At least her own magic still worked. But who knew...
Hard work it may well be, Elycien thought, but I'm still glad I took the job. Curiosity might have killed the cat, but that didn't stop Elcie from being incredibly curious about magic-working in other worlds. She had visited several, each one drastically different from her homeland of Railinnon; and this world would be a perfect place to learn.
Happily, curiously, she cautiously sent out a small tendril of magic and probed the place for any signs of life.
((Edit: If this takes off, I thought it might be interesting to have other RPed threads besides just this one. Like... well, I don't have any real ideas yet. XD *hopes people will post*))

*The Manor was generally fairly empty at this time of night, as such he was not expecting to hear anything but the 'creatures' shifting around in their sanctioned holdings upstairs. He glanced up from his book at the first echos of the unfamiliar voice, a frown creased his forehead as he set his hearing to focus in that general direction, no more than a few halls away.
He held his breath... that was definitely a human voice. For some reason the word 'humanoid' stole into his thoughts but he chose to ignore it.
He rose from his desk and quietly shut the book as he shrugged on his favoured trenchcoat and ran his gloved fingers through his damp black hair. He froze momentarilly as he felt the magic tracer touch him, he smiled and traced it back to its source. The entry hall.
It didnt take him long to reach the entry hall where the woman waited...*
Good evening Miss
*he bowed in a polite manner, his blue eyes cautious as they took in her feline features*

High in the Air Tower, a small girl was curled up in a plush dog bed. She was just in the limbo between conciousness and dreams when..."WHA?! AH! HOLD UP THERE!" She leaped up at the odd tug behind her navel, and fell into an ungraceful heap. "You'd think there'd be a better way to wake somone up..." she muttered. She stood up, piled all of her covers onto her bed, and pulled on her brocade shoes to go investigate. RP Illustration 1...((INVESTIGATE WHEEE! Inside double parentheses is my out of charecter talk. If you want any illustrations, feel free to ask.  ))

Elycien nodded in greeting. "I'm Elycien, originally of Railinnon. I've come to stay here. I've heard that mages and magic-users from a myriad of worlds reside here. And otherworldly magic has always intrigued me." She glanced up, hearing footsteps on the stairs. "There can't be many people here yet, right? This place is fairly new." Her green eyes took in the ornate entry hall, the stairs, the ceiling, and the tinkling crystal chandalier.

A tall girl wearing a black dress sat on the window sill on the outside of a very tall part of the manor. Around her neck hung a small, silver, dragon-shaped amulet. On her lap was a broomstick. She jerked suddenly at the feeling of something she couldn't quite name, and the broomstick fell to the ground. The witch got ready to cast a spell for a safe landing and then jump, but she paused with her hands out, and then said, "Yeah, that's not a good idea. Not safe." She nodded, as if agreeing to someone, and then went back into the manor, through her room, and started heading down to the front door to get her broomstick.

Echo froze in her place at the bottom of the gently spiraling staircase, hidden in the shadows. She listened to Elycien's introduction, and deducted that the girl wasn't harmless. She tiptoed down the last few steps, and slipped into the kitchen to make some tea.

*he glances upwards with a slight smile* You're correct. There arent many here, yet.. As far as I know, we can comfortably house over one hundred individuals.. Of course the rooms are reinforced with lead bricks, which makes it a little cold, but we have our share of fire mages to counter that. *he smiles winningly again. It seems a strange expression for someone that looks as gothic as he. His thick spiked black hair is swept back, his blue eyes casual but observant, his cheek is marked with an ugly scar and on top of that, twin sets of black and red fire tattoos adorn both forearms* If you'll follow me, I'll show you to the living quarters. You can enjoy your pick of rooms at the moment, theyre all pretty much the same- *he catches movement from the corner of his eye* Evenin' Echo *he calls*
((My char is pretty much friendly to everyone XD Like Jekyl and Hyde though, hes got a mean streak, just not when hes relaxed like this))

A short figure appeared out of thin air just outside the mannor. She wasn't sure if she was allowed to apparate on the inside, but she dared not try; she still remembered Hogwart's rules, and this place reminded her of her old school. It was raining slightly, and she was already a bit wet, but she wasn't in a hurry to go inside. Her robes protected her for the most part, and she liked the rain. She had arrived to the mannor a short time ago, and then went out to explore the surroundings. Now, as she came back, she felt back home. Any place with such a strong magical feel to it would feel like home to her. As she went inside, she wondereded if more people had arrived.

Echo jumped at her name and nearly spilled the three cups of tea she was carrying. "Oh...hi...Warlock, right?" she asked, handing him a tea cup and smiling apologetically. "Hi, I'm Echo. Nice to meet you, Elycien! I'm sort of new too." She handed Elycien a cup of tea also. "I'd still like to welcome you though...and let you know that my room is huge and has a spare bed." She smiled warmly and fiddled with the strings of her black drawstring pants. "It's in the Air Tower though." Echo's wolf ears twitched curiously as she looked at the girl. "What are your powers?"

Elycien accepted the tea with a smile, relaxing a little. "I'm an enchantress," she said. "And a Thirecat. My element's shadow," she added as an afterthought. The girl decided to remain silent about the Emerstone. Guardianship wasn't something to take lightly, after all. Perhaps once she was more assured that she could trust these people...
She took a sip of tea. "I heard that people from all worlds came here," she said. "I'm from Series 12 - well - originally from Railinnon, if it comes to that." She paused at the sound of the door opening, and turned to glance at the newcomer.

*he takes the cup with a laugh and a nod of thanks, he hadnt meant to startle her* Warlock, Ax, one or the other. Quietly he listens to Echo's question and Elycien's reply, nodding*Shadow huh.. I hope you'll feel right at home here, Shadow is our second speciality next to fire, if Im not mistaken.
*he doesnt bother yet to explain his own powers of healing, and something a little darker, something he doesnt like to do. Healers arent always greeted with warmth because of the horrific damage they can inflict upon souls, its a moral dilema any good healer has to face... He shakes himself out of thought and turns to smile at the newcommer*

Echo crossed the sitting room to the entrance hall. She accepted the person's damp robes and hung them on a coat rack shaped like a hand. As she hung the robes, the hand shut on the robes as if magic. "Hi there, my name's Echo...nice to meet you!"

((Okay, just a question... so, in this RP we don't know each other? I'm a bit confused))

((apparently we dont, Ginz *lol* mainly because we all seem to be 'new' to the manor.. if we're all from different places, how could we know eachother? At least, thats what I assumed.. However I guess some of us can know eachother.. if you dont mind *takes a step of initiative*))
*his eyes light up as he takes in the newcommers features* Long time no see, old friend
