Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian~ The ‘Shadows' Case’ ~ [A 1x1 between Neko-chan and CloakedSchemerX]

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Good Night Margaret!" Anthea said, closing her door. 

She got dressed in a white tank-top and yellow pajama pants before hopping on the golden bed. It took Anthea probably the longest to go to sleep.

 

Hiro was the last to fall asleep. Turning off her light at about ten o'clock.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

I was probably the first to sleep along with Aisling, and then Margaret afterwards, followed by Anthea and then Hiro.

 

Almost midnight, around 11:50, Anthea's bedroom door quietly crept open. Dante stepped in, bringing Usagi and giving Usagi right beside Anthea, like a child's bear. (I can still remember.) Dante left and closed the door behind him, before going back to his own room, and eventually going to sleep himself.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Hiro threw a book against the wall at about seven in the morning.

"Stupid books...." She muttered.

Aisling turned around in her bed, rather disturbed by Hiro.

"Stupid books..." Hiro said again, picking up the book and throwing it at her door before getting ready for the day.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

"Nnnngh." I groaned when Hiro threw the book. (Its barely seven. There's no way I'm getting up....) I thought to myself, tiringly burrowing myself back into my pillow and under the blankets. With a short sigh before, Hiro's room door burst open. "Hiro." Dante said with a bold tone. "No throwing books. We've been through this."

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Hiro crossed her arms.

"Then why is it that every book I pick up ends terribly?" She asked, looking up at Dante.

Aisling turned over and opened her eyes slightly, looking at Joshua whom was hiding her covers. She didn't say anything though.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

"I'll shoot a f*cking hole in your wall if you wake me up again, Hiro!! Stop with the damn book-throwing!!" Margaret yelled past the wall that separated their rooms. Dante sighed. "No need to throw a bad book, Hiro." Dante muttered, picking up the book. "I presume you're not going to re-read this. I'll store it back in the library." He said, walking out and closing the room door.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Hiro looked sharply at the wall between her and Margaret's room. 

"Shut up Margaret." she grumbled, starting to get ready.

It took her about thirty minutes to get dressed, Aisling had already fallen asleep again.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Margaret banged loudly against the wall. (Why the Hell doesn't she take after Dante, yet!? Even Anthea and I have more similarities.) Margaret thought, turning over in bed and trying to sleep again. Dante went downstairs and into the library again, storing the book that Hiro may have almost broke the rim of. He sighed. "I've told her for the umpteenth time...when will she even stop?" Dante asked himself under his breath. Soon, Margaret went back to sleep, and I was already asleep at the time.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

(Random type on roleplays time)

 

Hiro eventually made her way downstairs dressed in her normal black and scarlet dress.

"So, what did I do to that book?" she asked upon reaching Dante.

Anthea could be heard getting ready, she woke up as Margaret did actually.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Dante glared at Hiro. "You almost broke the rim of the book. Without the rim, nothing would support the rest of the book and the pages would soon collapse along with the cover and back. Do not throw the books, Hiro." Dante ordered, upon locking the library again. He sat down in the foyer again, reading his own book. This one was English though, as reading Enochian was troublesome even for Dante a bit.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Without a keykeeper, the library within me would collapse. I would die a painful death from the inside out. The library would be lost forever and the books burned." Hiro said, looking at Dante.

"It's happened before Dante...." She said, looking down.

"It almost happened to Dalian...." Hiro muttered.

Anthea opened the door to her room, starting to walk down the hall.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

"Precisely...." Dante muttered, closing his book and setting it down. "Hugh Anthony Disward and Dalian are both in well conditions, living back in England...in fact from the same city as from where Aisling and Joshua had come from, however." He spoke again, standing up and glancing down to Hiro as Anthea had began walking down. "But why mention Dalian now, Hiro?" Dante asked rather seriously.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Why Dalian...?" Hiro asked then going silent.

Anthea made her way beside Hiro.

"...Some of us here just reminds me of her..." She said quietly.

"Dalian?!" Anthea asked, looking at Hiro.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Dante thought for a bit, pressing his thumb and index finger against his chin. "I don't quite understand, Hiro. What similarities between...'some of us' do you see with Dalian? I'd presume Hugh as well." Dante looked at Anthea for a moment when she came down. (Anthea doesn't strike me as a Dalian completely. Though on several terms....) Dante thought again, then looking up. (If Anthea was the Dalian of us...Margaret would not fit for Hugh. As for the other two....)

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Hiro looked up at Dante.

"Well...I would actually kind of compare us two to them actually..." she muttered.

Anthea's eye lit up.

"Yup! You two actually are kind of like Huey and Dalian!" she explained.

"I guess we are..." Hiro agreeded.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Dante looked suddenly down at Hiro. "Hm? Us?" He pondered aloud, glancing at Anthea as well. "Heh, I suppose we are in some cases. There are our differences though." Dante told Anthea and Hiro, before upholding an idea of his own. "Perhaps, though, we can put this comparison to test. Maybe after all this madness and bedlam subsides, we can return Aisling and Joshua to their homes, and visit Hugh and Dalian. Meeting other Key Keepers and Biblioprincesses would be good for us. Not to mention, I've heard the bread there is simply delicious. We should go, sometime." Dante suggested.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Hiro and Anthea imminently fell silent.

"You better make sure we don't end up captured or anything." Hiro said bluntly.

Anthea looked up at Dante, a smile on her face.

"Thank you Dante for fixing Usagi!" She said happily.

"Maybe you could go fix us breakfast....unless we have to go out somewhere to eat." Hiro stated.

Anthea nodded in agreement.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

"I'll keep that ensured, Hiro....." Dante told her, before turning to Anthea, looking down with a faint smile as well. "You're welcome, Anthea. I'm grateful you didn't awaken when I gave you Usagi in the middle of the night. Just be sure to acknowledge me whenever Usagi is torn again." Dante said, sitting back in the foyer recliner. "As for the food...we'll have to wait. I have been meaning to take everyone out to eat breakfast and likely even lunch and dinner later...however, it seems as though Margaret, Joshua, and Aisling are all still deep in their slumber."

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Can we go wake them up?" Hiro and Anthea asked at the same time.

They actually didn't get mad at each other for doing so this time.

"Where would we go anyway?" Hiro asked, staring at Dante.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

"You two really are so much alike." Dante said to both Anthea and Hiro, as his eyes seemed to trail up the stairs. "Hm... I won't stop you from waking them. But they'll probably be mad at you...specifically Margaret. Make it somewhat humorous for me to listen to with their reactions...and awaken them." Dante laughed for a moment.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Why don't you go wake up Margaret?" Anthea asked.

Hiro gave a small nod before the two dashed up the stairs. Aisling twitched in her bed, turning over to see Hiro.

"What do you want Hiro?" Aisling asked, tired. 

"Wake up!" she said loudly.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Dante gave a blank stare to Anthea and Hiro, sighing, "So be it." He walked upstairs, passing by Anthea and Hiro with Aisling, and to the second-last room of this side of the house— Margaret's room. He opened it, seeing Margaret dead asleep. Dante smirked, and appeared to trace his gaze across the ceiling, as if finding a certain field of effect. Once he finished he calmly uttered Enochian: "AVAVAGO...!" Right above the field Dante had imagined, outside and right above Margaret's room, a single thunder roared and shook mainly only Margaret's room. She immediately woke up, bringing a scythe to Dante's neck— to which Dante easily and nonchalantly knocked to the ground. "It's time to get up, Margaret." He said with an innocent smile, "We all need to go eat. You can change." Dante closed the door and Margaret grumbled to herself. She went to the room closet and started picking her clothes. Even after the roar of thunder just about a room away, I still ended up staying asleep— as dead asleep as ever.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Aisling sighed and sat up.

"I'm up..." She sighed, looking at Hiro and Anthea.

The two smiled and dashed over to Joshua, shaking him.

"Joshuaaa!! Wake up!" The two called.

Aisling sighed and began looking for some clothes.

[CloakedSchemerX 1,011]

Dante strolled on past the others again, as Margaret came out of her room with a new dress-- one like her first-- basically with the style of a French maid. A French maid with Gothic cosmetics. I just groaned and turned away from Anthea and Hiro, covering myself more with sheets and keeping myself against the wall. "Stooooop. It's still early...." I muttered, shrouding all of myself completely under the sheets.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

"Anthea, Hiro....go away." Aisling snapped.

Anthea and Hiro didn't say a word before dashing away.

Aisling slowly walked to Joshua's bed.

"Joshua...you need to get up....okay? Everyone else is. If you're still tired later you can take a nap..." Aisling said quietly.

"Okay?" she asked.

Hiro and Anthea both stopped when they saw Margaret.

"Margaret looks like a maid about to work for Dante~!" Anthea teased.

Hiro laughed and walked off, looking for Dante again.
