Drakonius' Realm

Alexis sighed as she found herself tightly gripped to by the chibi lord of dark stuffs as he skipped down the hallway, dragging her along for the ride. Streams of light and sparkles followed him around, it was rather hard for her to take this whole thing seriously. He randomly opened doors that led to the most oddest places, without a hint of slowing down. It was all interesting, and she loved seeing new things, but even she had her limits.

“…..What exactly are we looking for again?”

"I'm rather curious as to that fact myself, Drak darling," Lust said, blinking at the odd creatures that appeared on the other side of the next open door. They had large heads and appeared to have been plagued with Drakonius' rainbows... "As...fascinating as this place is, didn't you have something specific in mind, hmm?" She trailed her fingers down his back...

As fun as Drak could be, as he apparently wasn't in the mood, she wouldn't mind getting to someplace with people to jump sometime within the foreseeable future.

"Er, of course I do." Drakonius said, slamming the door shut as a flame of sparkles came at them. "I Just... can't find it... right now." Hey, everyone loses stuff. Including Drakonius. "It's not lost, I just misplaced it!" Stomping down the hall, he flung open another door, only to leap back with a yelp as a giant, rainbow tentacle reached out for him. "No! I am not that blonde elf!" Kicking it, he shoved it back inside.

He turned to his attendant. "Er... Raymond? Dance hall?"

Raymond's hand came up and pointed down the hall. "About ten doors down, take a left. Another 2593372537 doors with alternating right and left turns at each 3484 door and it will be on your right."

Alexis looked slightly incredulous at the sheer distance of the place. “Uhh… How about we do this the short way?” Reluctantly grabbing onto Lust’s and Drak’s hands she yanked them off and outwards, blazing ahead, eyes darting side to side as she counted, turning right and left at the major corners at every 3484 doors, before suddenly coming to a stop at the end of a hallway. Looking slightly winded, she leaned up against the wall. “…There we go.”

Raymond stood where he was, seeing only Alexis grabbing onto his Lord's and Lust's hands before vanishing. The paperwork swirled about him in the empty hallway and he held out his hand, as if attempting to reach for them. "Ah..." He blinked slowly, now unsure if they were even there in the first place.

Lust blinked as they stopped, hair sticking up in places from the sheer speed of the run.

"Well I will say this for you, Killjoy...you certainly know how to get around."

She glanced at Drakonius, leaning against him. "So Drak darling just what kind of dance hall is this, anyways, hmm?"

Drakonius held out a hand. "Hold on... Let me get Raymond." Opening up a portal, he reached inside, rummaging around. "Ah?" Hand coming out, he held a disgruntled Ciro but his shirt. "Nope." Casually, he tossed the man over his shoulder before reaching into the portal again. "Oh! I got a bite!" Diving into teh portal, his legs flailed as he leaned down.

when he popped back out, he had Raymond gripped firmly under his armpits. The poor ex-guard was shaking and sweating, on the verge of tears. Drakonius grinned happily as the portal closed.

It took a few moments for Ciro to understand what just happened and even then it left him confused. One minute he was talking with his master and the next being thrown over someone’s shoulder. Blinking in the dim light he turned his head, only seeing a faint outline of his captor. However, he didn’t need his eyes to know who the man holding him was. After the few encounters Ciro had had with him he made a point to notice his existence so he could stay as far away as possible.

Twisting himself at an awkward angle, Ciro reached back grabbing the man’s neck, pulling on it until he heard a satisfying snap and felt the head come free. The grip around his waist, however did not loosen. With a sarcastic grin on his face, he held the head at eyelevel, squinting a little to get a better look. “Good evening Drakonious.” He said in a smooth but restrained, tone. “I thought I made it clear that you were to stay the hell away from me. What’s the occasion?”

Raymond screamed when Ciro ripped off his master's head and scrambled back. Suddenly, halberd was in hand and he was in front of the women protectively "My - My Lord?" He asked hesitantly.

THe disembodied head grinned. "I messed you up for Ray-Ray!" Drakonius said, his hands roaming down Ciro's waist and closer to his belt. "But, since you're here, let's have some fun!" One hand firmly on his waist band, Drakonius took his head back and stuck it one his shoulder once more. "Come oooon! We need another person to dance!"

Alexis sighed, being rather used to Drak getting seriously maimed or injured without any reaction from the chibi lord of darkness, so his decapitation didn't worry her. What he said next though did...

"....Do we really have to... dance?" She wasn't all that comfortable with dancing in the first place, more so with certain individuals present with her.

“Tch, like I’d dance in this God forsaken place.” Ciro mumbled, prying Drak’s wandering fingers off his hips, taking care to dislocate each and every one from their sockets. Eventually, he succeeded in loosening his hold and pulling himself out of Drak’s grip.

Once his feet were planted firmly in the ground he turned on his heal to leave but was stopped abruptly when he heard a voice speak up in front of him. Not daring to take another step in fear of causing a pile up, he leaned in closer waiting for his eyes to adjust until the face came into view. “Oh.” Ciro straightened back up catching a glimpse of the light reflecting off a gold head of hair and a metallic object quivering in the corner. Rolling his eyes his eyes he turned back around facing the Lord of Darkness, sighing. “I have better things to do, so let’s get this over with shall we?” He hated letting Drak win but he figured he'd just have to cooperate for now. Hopefully, it'd get him home faster.Hopefully.

"Mmm...so just what kind of dance are we doing, darling?" Lust asked, sauntering back over to Drakonius and wrapping her arms around him. She smirked at Alexis. "A problem with dancing, killjoy? You really don't do anything for fun, do you?"

Drakonius grinned, having won for now. He liked his little victories. Popping his fingers and relocating them, he took a one-step two-step to the door and pushed it open.

"We caaaan... techno rave?" Nauseating Lights and loud music blared from the room. Dark tiles glowed randomly as a disco ball turned and sporadic colors popped up.

"Ooor..." he closed the door, opening it again. "Waltz?" Now the room was an elegant ballroom, complete with a large chandelier overhead and a table with wine and food.

"Oooor... and this is what I had in mind," he closed the door again and opened it. "Square dance!!!!!" Now the room was like a barn. Bales of hay, wood floors and and the smell of horses.

Raymond, overcoming his shock at being pulled into a portal from behind, slowly walked up to Ciro. "My apologies..." He said, bowing slightly. "I doubt he's going to anything... er... offensive... or... anything that impedes too greatly on your personal space."

Alexis sneezed as the warm, earthy air rushed out at them from the door. She observed the manner in which Drak was opening the door, each time to a different location. A random thought came to her.

“….If you could just open the door to make whatever room you wished on the other side… Why did we have to find THIS particular door? If any door could lead to any location that is….”

She glanced at the barn beyond, listening to the unseen fiddler for a moment, before closing the door again. Opening it back up to the dark room, lit in a vibrant neon glow. The music was fast, the walls and floor were awash with light, and it didn’t make her sneeze.

“I like this room” Alexis said, walking inside, onto the colorful tiles in the center of the expansive room. Eventually setting on a barstool near a wall, spinning around once just because she could.
