May we start guessing who you are?

Oh, I forgot about the stuff that said no packing. Aww, I thought I would survive. Okay, edit and revision:

—

my CAPTCHA

My AE

A yellow lightsaber

A bunch of of natural granola bars

some pocket change

You may guess who I am Shadow, but there is no telling if I will truthfully respond. It is April, after all, the time for merriment as spring awakens! Happy April Fool's day~ 

Hey! I'm super-new to the chatterbox, but man, I wanna try a ski lodge.

What I have on me:

My quiver with

-pens

-a sketchbook

-assorted Fruit Roll-Ups

-comic books

-too many sweaters

-arrows

-and my collapsible bow all stuffed into it 

-Theodosia, my AE (who is in a perpetually bad mood and for some reason sounds like a valley girl)

-and Bronwyn, my Norwegian forest cat CAPTCHA

*rubs hands together evilly* Let's see how this turns out!

Bronwyn says domy. Domo? Oh my? 

(If you can't tell, I stash way more stuff in that quiver than I should.)

Sorry, I forgot to say that I'll be taking along my two new AEs, Checks and Balances. They're supposed to keep me from doing anything stupid, but mostly they just fight with each other. Checks is a boy. He always has to look up what anyone says and make sure they're correct. If they aren't, he'll correct them. Incidentally his favorite food is Chex cereal. Balances is a gymnast. She tries not to take opinions, but balances opposing sides of an argument, though she usually forgets. 

My apologies everyone, but I was planning on having day 0 typed already. That way it would be ready for tommorow. I am sick today, however, and have a really bad headache.

So, once again, my apologies. Day 0 might be a little late.

Thank you for your patience and time~

This is everyone I believe. I will try to portray each person and their partners as accurately as possible, but no promises. There are plenty of new people I have yet to meet, so excuse my errors! Feel free to correct any of my name-spelling!

Day 0~

They rest unconcious upon the deep, full crimson carpet, each body carelessly strewn about. In one piece, albeit. The only sound that vacates their unmoving bodies is the soft breathing, barely heard even in the demanding silence.

Shadows dance across the room and flash over them, cast by flickering lanterns astrewn across the mahogany walls. Each one is separately adorned with golden cast decorations, which gracefully curve at the base of each illumination. 

The room itself is already dark and eerie enough without the sleeping souls spread across the floor. Perhaps the strangest thing, however, is the skylight which rests at the top of a high, perfectly centered arch. It casts a red glow, despite the sky being dark.

The room creaks with frenzied wind that powerfully hugs its exterior, and it is with this the first body awakes.

Deep, brown eyes scan the room, adjusting to the lighting and setting. "I-…What is this place?" Ruby asks, pulling himself to his feet. He finds his backside to be completely soaked, as well as his lower back. Upon further inspection, the other miscellanious bodies sprinkled about have the same misfortune. 

Shuddering nervously after glancing upwards at the impending skylight, for it reeks of evil, the male nudges a nearby body.

The reaction is much more rousing as the girl immediately leaps up, baring her fists at the disturbing presence. "Who are you? Why am I here?"

Rolling his eyes, Ruby shrugs. "I have no idea… about the latter of the two. I know who I am. Ruby."

"Oh…" The girl relaxes, her blue eyes moving to scan the room. "I'm balletandbow. You don't know why I…erm…" she pauses, resting her eyes on a couple of the other stirring beings. "We are here then?"

He shakes his head. "Nope."

Another voice responds instead of the feisty blonde's. "It's preeettyy creepy," another female mutters. She rubs her head, looking up at Ruby and balletandbow. "My butt is wet. And cold. I'm cold…uhg…"

Being a true gentleman, Ruby moves to help her up. Athena gratefully accepts his kindness and moves to her feet. "So what's the deal then? We are just a bunch of random people in a creepy room?"

Balletandbow squints at something. "I don't think it's just a room, you know. There is a door…but it's…kinda….small?"

By now the other people were beginning to wake from the worried voices. The atmosphere was tense and if a knife was nearby it could probably be cut. Better the atmosphere than anything else, one would suppose.

And suppose Arabella did, staring thoughtfully with wide eyes around the room. Everyone was fully moving, and the once silent room was filled with their frenzied questions.

Finally the volume gets too loud for one particular girl, and she lets out a commanding roar. Silence once again fills the room, engulfing sound for a moment. "I'm Shadow," she begins, seeing fit to introduce herself first.

"Let's get the facts straight. We are all stuck in a really dark, gloomy room; we all have no idea how we got here, I'm assuming; and we all have wet backsides. Also, my trench coat is gone."

All of the others nod in agreement. "My trenchcoat is gone too!" shows up several times in the conversations.

"I feel like….we should get out of here." A tall figure huddles in the corner, staring down at their black shoes. It was the Novelist, who had remained silent until now. 

"I saw a door earlier!" Balletandbow points towards the short, arched slab of wood, engraved with complicated designs. 

"I really don't like this place." Mirax sighs, letting his shoulders droop.

Indeed, nobody truly likes this place. The red lighting from the dark skylight radiates with an irritating warmth, seemingly pulsing with cruelty. The lights continue to flicker along the dark walls, failing to adequetly light the room.

It was mostly shadows.

Shadows and fear. 

Shadows and fear and evil, oh my.

This may not be my best piece, but I feel it is perfectly adequate in my current condition. Yes, I am feeling well, but alas, writer's block has begun. I do hope to continue with the next edition shortly thereafter~

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(anyway, this is really good!)
