#[ ah... hello...? ]

(Walking forward to your seat unmindful of the steam ascending from the preserved flesh, you realize that there's a folded note left behind and it reads: "I hope this gives you some of your humanity back, you fowl beast. - Dio Brando." He's clearly sarcastic, and why wouldn't he be? That's Dio. A sarcastic ass. Merry Christmas!)

[A beast, is she?]

[Well.]

[This beast is going to absolutely devour everything in sight, and when she's done? She's going to find him and give him the biggest, sloppiest kiss the world has ever known. She won't even wash her face beforehand.]

(Peering in, you find yourself alone in the dining room however everything has been perfectly set up - by your one and only in a way that you would enjoy it. The creaking windows are not barred up with rotten oak like usual which allows the hazed sunlight to roll in and spread across the hall. The table which is long and narrow is covered with gold furnishings and cloth which sparkle in the gaze of the sunlight. And the game-meat on display looks indescribably tasty.)

[Odd... Dio wasn't here, either? Well, with the windows open like that, she's not exactly surprised... it's a little lonely without him, but it's been a while since she's been able to greet the sun like this.]

[But it seems he's been a very busy bee, regardless. She can already feel her mouth watering at just the sight of all the food; she can't wait to dig in.]

[She's approaching her favorite seat without question.]

[sunlightmaiden]

(Walking down the twisting stairways with the darkness looming over you and the growing vocalizations of half-animalistic beasts humming in your ears during your descent, the steady aroma of freshly cooked meats assaults your senses and leaves your skin burning and the further you go down the twisting tunnel the more you realize that there's a golden glow coming from the main door.) [1]

[Waking up alone was a bit strange--not seeing Dio at all on her way downstairs is even stranger. However, that lovely scent coming from the dining hall definitely cannot be denied. Quickly making her way down, she notices the glow under the door. She softly opens it up, wondering if Dio was waiting for her.]
