Summary: There's a party at the Beasts' castle!

A message (written by a furniture) is sent out through the devices. The strike outs are Jean trying to censor things but they can be seen if you squint.

Welcome to the party on April 10th!
The place is indicated on the attached map.
It is also our Masters' birthday this week (7th)
Do with the information as you please.
Let's have a delightful time!


The places in the castle

The castle & the surrounding rose garden: there are also some wolves wandering in the nearby woods but they do not attack.

Dining room: where the main event, dinner is held. It will take some time for the food to be served since they do a dance.

Library: Not as impressive as the Index main library and most of the books are empty.

Fireplace / Living Room: A cute leg rest that acts like a dog will help you relax by standing under your feet.

Study & the Magic mirror: The magic mirror shows who you're thinking about - if they're in Index, that is.

Dance hall & the attached balcony: The furniture will try to help anyone they think are couple material or seem like need help with making A Move. They may get it wrong sometimes.

West wing & the Enchanted Rose: the restricted area. All the furniture will warn you not to go there and while Jean won't be as aggressive about intruders than before he will still be cautious and snippy.


You can imagine any furniture to be alive, except any bathroom furniture for the sake of my sanity. The main butler is a candelabra, much like the disney versions but even more obnoxious and Lumiére. All the furniture have a French accent except for the leg rest since it barks like a doggo.

Jean's wolf cubs, Connie and Sasha, are around in the library or following Jean. There is also a third one, Frost following Weiss.

Re: Dance Hall~

Luca was attempting to process what all just happened when he hears Alice from under him-

OH! This isn't- He tries to push himself off her, but that fluffy coat Toto's got isn't exactly the best support.

"I- Yes, I'm fine!" He glances around him and catches sight of the chair waving its arm at him... Huh. He turns his focus back to Alice. "Sorry, I'm not sure what got into that... Erm... The chair?"

[madventure]

At least it was being still- well, save for tat snout of his sniffing as his head turned to check on them. Toto took the impact like a champ at least, laying there and just sort of watching. Ears flicking to the movement around. Some mild stare-down at the chair, all the while remaining at that larger size just for ease at the moment.

Alice had to take a deep breath, catching one of Luca's hands just to give him something a little more solid to take a hold of. An easier sort of brace to steady with since she was under him; easier than trying to hold that still fluffy coat. So far nothing hurt so she was likely alright.

For the moment, at least. "Steady now," for tryin to get up. At least it might be easier to move aside and lay on Toto more. Looking towards the chair in question with a frown, brow slightly furrowed. "Rather rude of it, usually chairs try to keep people sitting in them."

[allegedprisoner]

Thanks for the help... Luca really appreciates her getting him back on his feet and not falling over everywhere.

He brushes himself off as best he can. "You'd think that," he absently glances in the direction that chair came from, "But then again none of the furniture in this house can keep still for some reason."

The chair in question has already run off to play matchmaker for some other hapless victim. Luca sighs, turning his attention to the now giant dog in the room... That dog's always nearby, isn't he? Luca's tempted to pet it for a moment, but Alice is also still here...

"Maybe it's something related to an essence?"

[madventure]

"Furniture with a mind of it's own, terrible thing to allow it seems."

She had noticed there had been a shop in town that was selling it, and all o it seemed to be oddly temperamental as well. Well, could suppose if it was used all day long in and out without a thought or thank you there could be reason- but this was certainly something else entirely.

Alice did sit there a moment as if in thought, "It's possible, more so if it all belongs with this place." The castle, or the index? Could be both, more so if all of this was tied to someone's Essence. A reason she had Toto after all, and he clearly had a mind of his own, even if a rather clever dog.

Fingers flexed before Alice was offering a hand up- "Mind giving me a hand? Rather not slip," even with a large Toto there as support. One fall was quite enough.
