Singing in the Dark (cont.)

[Vyn]

Kujien, Sinokaeda and Seibeisina made their way back to the Dryder Theatre, leading JanJenShi along the easiest path from the Park to the Theatre. At the head of the little troupe was Sei, so carried away in her enthusiasm that she didn't even realize how far behind her companions were.

As they reached the Theatre, Sei shifted into her anthro form, flung open the door and plunged inside. Instantly there was a softer creak and the sound of a door shutting.


Sin tilted her gaze back toward JanJenShi, her felinish tail flicking seductively.

"She's probably gone into the attic to get Lyra and their toys." A soft giggle slid from the poison feline's maw. "Follow me downstairs and I'll introduce you to the others."


At the back of the group of Jien, watching the parade of Euclide making their way into the Theatre. A slow smile had touched his muzzle. His Cast was growing admirably and he was quite pleased with the results.

[silvertip]

Shi smiled as the young Marionette was so ahead. he thought if she was always this excited. probably.

Shi looked back at Sin. he smirked at her then replied. I look foward to play with them. because he loved children, well atleast he does now. Idiot! that sounded so childish! he though biting his lip. ok I'd love to meet the rest of the cast he said nodding.

[Vyn]

Sin smiled happily.

"That's good, because they'll want to play."

The feline was slinking down a set of stairs into a beautiful marble hallway that branched and spread out deep beneath the earth.

"Seibeisina is a Rhapsody after all, and if she's not bursting with energy she's sour or angry."

Sin laughed softly, Sei was a hard one to judge, but pleasant company for the most part. Absently she turned a corner and made her way down a corridor. At the end, a low soft humming could be heard.

Sin tapped the door with a paw and then sat back, grinning over at Shi. Slowly the door slid open and a pair a bleak orbs peered back at them from a dark skull. Large chiroptae ears flicked forward questioningly.

"Who is this stranger you've brought to me, Sinokaedabi?"

Her voice was soft, full of utter morose, but there was curiosity there as well.

Sin purred softly, brushing her long tail along Shi's frame as she answered. "This is JanJenShi, our new Script Writer."

The chiroptae stared at him momentarily and then offered him a misery-laced smile. "I am Kaeobi, Requiem Chiroptae and Puppeteer to this cast." She bowed lightly. "A pleasure."

Done with her introduction, Kaeobi began to hum a low, mournful tune. It was another one of her Requiems, this time, however, it was JanJenShi's. The Puppeteer always wrote new ones when she met new people, it was something of a hobby.

[silvertip]

JanJenShi smiled at Sin, he would definetley like that.

he never meet a Rhapsody before Sei. so he couldn't comment on Sins words. he was startled when the door slid open, and more startled to see the pair of pleak orbs staring back. he just smiled. not the greatest smile, more like a smile of question that hello.

he smiled at KaeoBi and bowed his head, "nice to meet you too." he said grining at the Chiroptae. his eyes filled wis curiousity and question as KaeoBi hum the mornful tune.
(I just looked at Sei's page and I can't believe Mem drew the feather on her! she's so beautiful. and now I have an urge to draw a skunk-like crit *twitches*)

[Vyn]

Sin smiled at the two then nodded briskly.

"Thanks a bunch for entertaining us with your time dear."

Kaeobi smiled, her expression still morose but tinted with amusement.

"Of course."

With that the Chiroptae turned her back on the two and vanished behind the closed door.


Sin chuckled uncertainly as she strode down along the corridor once more.

"She was singing another one of her funeral hymns. They tend to unnerve people after a while."

That said she continued on along the path, her tail swaying at her feet. Turning a corner she paused and then tilted her attractive gaze toward Shi.

"This next guy, you'll need to be careful around him. He's jumpy at first..and just about every 10 minutes after that." She laughed. "Amnesia's you know."


Finally she approached her chosen door, switching into an anthromorphic form she rapped gently. There was a thump inside the room and then the door slid open and a jittery looking Lynx-like feline was staring timidly at them.

"....Si...sin?"

Sin nodded cheerfully. "Good evening Seta!"

Nejuseta twitched notably. "Wh...who is that?" Despite the quaver in his voice, he appeared to be relaxing slowly.

(I know ^____^ She's ravishing. <3 and yeah, I mentioned Shi giving her a feather <3 and Mem added it on. ^^ It was great!)

[silvertip]

MaKeaJa nodded at KaeoBi as they exited.
he wasn't so worried about the Amnesia, he was usually calm. its ok I'll be calm he said shrugging. he was really curious about the Amnesia, he never met one before.

he now saw Seta. a smile curled upon his lips. hello, I'm JanJenShi a script wrighter. I'm your new member. he said taking a slow bow to him.

[Vyn]

Seta shifted uncomfortably for a moment and then smiled loosely as if he wasn't quite sure where he was. Sin was humming a strange, jaunty little melody which seemed to instantly relax the male.

"Nice to meet you JanJenShi." His tone was sort of dreamy, distracted by Sin's humming. After a moment he paused and his hollow gaze drifted to Sin. "I've heard that before?"

His tone was nervous, unself-conscious. What horror it was to remember that you could never remember anything.

"Of course you have, my little Puppet. Its your favorite."

She smiled in her sensual way but it only made Seta appear more nervous.

"Well..." he looked about abruptly, as if something had just snuck up on him. His gaze swung about and rested forcefully on Shi, oblivious to Sin. "Who are you?!"

And then his white eyes went completely unfocused, gaze drifting off to a point behind Shi. Wordlessly he sunk back into the room and was gone. Sin smiled tentatively.

"Sorry about that Shi, dear...Seta had one of his memory lapses. He can be quite antsy at the beginning of those." The female laughed, though it was true that Seta could even become violent when he felt suddenly 'attacked'. "He'll warm up to you eventually."

[silvertip]

Shi smiled at Seta warmly. he keep thinking about his moves very carefully. again and again we went through them in his mind.

he thought about how bad it must be to never remember much. his strange eyes swung towards Sin. as the Amnesia left he whispered bye

at Seta's memory note he said oh its alright! and smiled at her. an Reqium, a Amnesia what next! he thought.

[Vyn]

Sin watched Shi with fascination as he attempted to interact with Seta. Seta was a chore to most, troublesome when he wasn't under her spell, but Shi appeared genuinely fascinated. They would definitely get along as time passed, Shi's face just needed to embed itself further into Seta's mind.

But they were off again now, and thoughts of Seta were replaced with the pleasure of what would come. Through the maze of twisting corridors, they'd find the final member soon enough. She'd saved him for last, quite sure that the fellow Script Writer would steal away Shi's attention.

After all, a Soul like Akinoju always appreciated similar company.

At last, they came to a door near the end of the strange underground passageways. Once again, Sin knocked lightly upon the door and, once again, the door was pulled open by another member of the cast. A lapine this time, with red, blue and white dappled coat. Unlike the others however, he appeared far more aware.

Kaeobi had been friendly, but distant as she always was in the depth of her sorrow. Seta was simply troubled, unable to remain on the surface with the others even if he wanted to. Akin, though, had a look about him like one who knew too much and was burdened by their knowledge.

Akin shifted slightly, aware of the Poison feline's eyes on him. The great flirt, she was...and she'd gone after Akin's affections more than once. This however, was not the time to debate such issues, not with such an usual Smog Type standing before him.

"Good evening...Sin, who have you brought to visit?"

Sin beamed pleasantly. "This is JanJenShi, the new Script Writer. I assumed you'd want to meet him."

Akinoju's eyes lit up at Sin's beaming answer. Another Script Writer?! How wonderful! "You were right, Sin, I'm quite fascinated in meeting our new member." Bowing his head in light greeting, Akin directed them inside. "Come in, we can talk awhile?" His gaze shifted again to Sin. "Will you be joining us?"

Sin shook her head. "Of course not, Akin, I was never very apt at keeping up with the conversation of intellects such as yourself." She laughed warmly, her voice like silver bells before returning her attention to Shi. Lightly she pressed her nose against his neck, purring in her friendly manner. "You don't mind if I leave for a spell? I'm sure you'll be quite preoccupied with Akin while I'm gone?"

[silvertip]

Shi could hardley contain himself. but he was a good acter for keeping cool. so he just looked content. so they went on. Shi was getting impatent with working through the twisted corridors. during that time of navagating the maze he worked on trying to remember it, and the whole theater for that matter.

as the door open a smiled came upon his face as he saw the Soul lapine. what brillent pattern and colors! he thought. then he thought of his plain grey coat, but shrugged it off. he didn't care about that.

yes I shall be delighted to come in. he said smiling in a warm gesture. he watched Sin as her vioce rang beautifully. no, I'm sure I'll be fine. he said smiling, then turned his attention back to Akin. so, shall I start, or you? he asked sitting right in front of him.

[Vyn]

Sin smiled beautifully and vanished back into the maze of corridors, making her way back out to Kujien. Akinoju watched her go before smiling and sliding further into the room. Inside was furnished elegantly, but was consumed mostly by shelf after shelf of books.

At a young age he had taught himself the English language, fascinated by the knowledge held by that race.

The Lapine settled himself before Shi, a light smile upon his dappled muzzle.

"Go ahead and start us off, my new friend. You seem like quite the fascinating topic." Akin's eyes were glowing with fascinating. O! It had been so long since he'd had company that was of a similar mind to him!

[silvertip]

Shi also watched as Sin exited the room. when she wasn't to be seen he turned his attention at Akin.

then his mind wandered to the shelves of book, Akin must like reading them! then he decided to talk after a few quiet moment. he cleared his throat and thought of how to begin. I am a smog type, but you probably knew that. I am facinated with the american indians and I study them. I have also made many herb potions that they did and that I created myself. he said and took a moment to smile and to take a breathe. , I met Sei on a one of my many moon gazings. she was curled and frightend by some dog. I started to talk to her soon enough Sin found us and they decided they would want me in this casts. Kujien thankfully accepted me. he looked up and smiled once more. so, what are your hobbies? surely a script writer must have some fascinating interest!

[Vyn]

Akinoju watched Shi with more fascination than Sin. Lately the femme's attentions had been dangerously elsewhere. He did not doubt Sin's willingness to leave, especially if she found a more appealing place. In fact, Akin wouldn't doubt she'd already found it.

"A smog type." The Lapine nodded thoughtfully, yes...and the first he'd met personally. Wonderful! Slowly his head tilted to the side. American Natives! Now that was quite fascinating, but Akin allowed Shi to continue.

"Ahh... I've so many interests, and it seems not enough time in the world to explain them all." Momentarily lost in thought the lapine shifted into his anthro form and strode toward the many shelves of books, trailing pale fingers over the spines as his cottony tail flicked in concentration. At last he selected one tome from amist the countless articles. "The study of type and rank is one of them... How it affects individual Euclides, and other such things..."

He seemed to be rambling more than announcing anything solid, but he sat down with such curt precision that it was obvious that his distraction was only for a greater subject.

"The American Natives... they are quite the fascinating subject. Infact..." He opened the old book, scanning the pages. "Were you aware that we have a sort of 'cousin' in the American region? I believe they are called the Defore, but I must admit that my sources are quite limited." He tilted the book toward JanJenShi, displaying a picture of a deer-like creature sporting quite a many Native American trinkets and strange eyes. "In fact, I must admit you quite remind me of the Defore...appearance wise." He mused for a moment longer and grinned with pure fascination. "In fact, I could easily speculate that you have old roots there...a great grandsire or something?"

He laughed and then shook his crania lightly.

"Though, as I said, I know too little to even tell you if such cross breeding is possible."

[silvertip]

he smiled seeing Akin listen to him. he liked to be listen too, and hated it when outher interupted someone when they talked. such a nasty habbit many have! when he was done he looked back at the Lapine to see what his hobbies were.

he nodded as he watched Akin go over to the book self. what could he be searching for? Shi thought. as Akin walked back to him Shi went into anthro form also, well it is the best way to read books. he looked at the book. first scanning the words as he always did because to him the pictures were a 'threat' and he'd have to 'work' for it before he saw it. he saw the picture now, his eyes widened. what I beautiful creature! he thought.

he was leaned over to the book, mezmoried you could say. however when the Soul mentioned about a grandsire it waked him up. its possible...... I suppose. he said with some thought. he was unsure about how he would take it if it was possible.

so, what else do you know about Defore?
