[EVENT] The Abandoned Manor

"...By the way, you've overlooked Mr. Wright."

Amadour winces.

"I thought he was already in costume....But mon petit frère will get to that!" He says, slipping into the shadows with an "Adieu."

Narcissus was not given the choice to argue.

====

(Just gonna control feenie for a bit.)

Phoenix pulls his beanie over his ears, not caring about the situation.

He was there for the exact same reason as Edgeworth and Franziska, and was dragged into this game for the same reason.

He sighs, and decides to let his eyes wander.

And then he saw her.

"I...Iris...?" He stutters under his breath.

"I thought you were going to arrive later tonight! How embarrassing....seven years, and you see me like this..."

---WAS WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY.


Instead, he tripped over his own feet and fell face-first to the ground, looking just as hopeless as he was in his college days.

Now, what is it you were saying about something embarrassing?

((CHARLY YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED ME...I MEAN NEJI oAo))

"A-ahay!

Mr. uh...Wright! A-are you okay??" said a shrill, high-pitched voice from one line of Narcissus' earcom.
He simply sweatdropped.

"I'm not even the one supposed to be attending to his group..."

============================

"And Haru...what the hell are you doing, ane?"

Miaki let out a cough and then slapped herself VERY hard.

"CHI! well guys, we'd seriously better get started...lets go..."

Still clinging to Deidara's wrist, she involuntarily (and unluckily) lead the group with the aid of a flashlight and a sense of reality.

Into a very shadowy hall they went, Miaki followed the sound of peculiar beeping, seeming to sound familiar.

"hehehe...I dunno but that beeping sounded like Ari...or at least her DS..."

=================================

Neji grimaced.

"Um...Yumi...I just asked you to check what oil it is, not pour it into the flora..."

After said action was done, something enclosed in the vines rustled.

"Ack! not on my shoes...nooo..."

A rather short but winsome looking young man emerged from within the brush.

"o-oh cmon! At least CHECK the oil, would'ya?"

"FREDDIE."

"Ack-! Ah, yes yes, um...oui, Monsieur Ravenheart..!"

The young man patted himself clean for a while, then stood upright.

"Ahem. Well, welcome...you've arrived at your first riddle." he utters plainly.

## Here's the list of groups again, copy/pasta'd from Deidei:

Spoiler:

(( CRAP, I THOUGHT THE GUY WAS SIMON. oh lol ))

Ah. That went kinda better than expected.

'I guess I was too pessimistic.. and huh, I thought he was an elegant hobo?' Yuuki thought for a moment and switched back to reality, answering the question of the little boy who was beside her.

"Erm, yes, yes I am," she paused. "..Do you happen to be Procopio? o u o;"

. . . .

A few seconds passed.

'Oh, to hell with it.'

Yuuki patted Procopio on the head and ruffled his hair.

"Hope you didn't mind that.. ehe, he~" she smiled sheepishly.

((Btw I your dp is lesbian awesome <3))

Asuka couldn't help but grimace at how Franziska was torturing the poor butler, but then again, it was the only way to move along with the candy-hunt.

___________________________________

What Miaki completely forgot was the fact that she was gripping so tightly on Deidara's shirt, that even he, himself couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "O-Oi! Would you stop gripping so tightly! You're practically pulling my shirt off!"

"Does that mean we get to receive the riddle now...?" Asuka was confused. What Freddie said, what did it mean...?

_______________________________

"Thanks Miaki... Oh yeah, your turning red as sasori-danna's hair again." It was a known fact after all, that when Miaki was embarrassed, she would turn as red as sasori's hair, and that was something.
