Rose and Eva walk through the door in Rose's dream into a dark a dreary castle.  Before them was a magnificent amount of stairs. One huge set in front of them split amongst two sides, one to the left and one to the right. There were statues beside the first set of stairs which looked creepier in the dark. None of the candles were lit. Eva looked over to Rose before dusting her again. There was no way Rose could walk those stairs if her legs were still in pain. They could be, or they could be fine now.<br/><br/>"I forgot to ask if your legs were fine but," Eva shrugged with a smile. "Better safe than sorry." Each of them float around a bit before spotting some movement in the corner of their eyes. Eva raised an eyebrow. "This place looks familiar. It has to be from a fairy tale but... which one?" Every time she'd turn her head to see what was moving, everything stood still. Just then, something clicked in her mind. Beauty and the Beast. The castle matches the descriptions in the books. And it would explain moving furniture and such while they weren't looking but they looked normal once she turned to look at them. Her eyes roam over to the stairs.<br/><br/>"I guess it won't hurt to look around huh?" Eva looked to Rose and they ascended the stairs. There could be some whispering heard if someone was listening really hard. Eva assumed Rose could hear it too just because she is a vampire herself. But this is the dream world, so it could be that only Eva hears it. Must be some of the furniture and whatever else talking to each other because of their presence. Eva figured that Rose was more of who they were curious about. Eva was still very small and hard to see. But they could also be concerned how there's a floating girl in their castle. Eva looked to Rose again. "It has to be Beauty and the Beast... the castle matches the description and I saw movement in the corner of my eye. But when I went to look... nothing." Eva took a look around the halls that they could go down. "If I remember the story right... they did not want Belle to go down the left wing. It doesn't seem that they want to show themselves willingly to us yet, so we could force it out by heading to the left wing. They should stop us."<br/><br/>Eva was correct. Once the two wandered curiously towards the left wing there was a thick french accent that called out to them. "Don't go that way!" There was a gasp. As Eva turned to see who it was. It was the speaking candle, he had one of his "hands" covering his mouth and the clock looked towards him in anger and slight disappointment.<br/><br/>"Great, just great Lumière." The clock crossed his arms as the candle.... Lumière, shrugged it off with a smile.<br/><br/>"Oh come now, Cogsworth. The two seemed lost. It's storming outside and they need a place to stay." His words were a little pointed, as if hinting towards something with Cogsworth. This time Lumière addressed Rose and Eva. "I know it must seem weird to see talking furniture-"<br/><br/>"We<i>used</i>to be human until-" Cogsworth started to say.<br/><br/>"Tut tut, Cogsworth." Lumière looked a bit frustrated. "That'll all get explained in time." He smiled back at Eva and Rose. "Come! You two must be starving." Lumière hopped around with finesse towards the dining hall. Rose and Eva followed as he introduced himself. "My name is Lumière!" He offered a dashing smile... as dashing as it can be from a candle. "This, is Cogsworth!" He waved an unlit arm towards the walking clock. Cogsworth offered a smile and a bow as they continued to walk.<br/><br/>"How do you do?" Was his default greeting as he was being introduced.<br/><br/>They stopped at some doors. Lumière looked over to Cogsworth and gave a hint of a challenge on who could be the most courteous towards their guests. The banter between the two was pretty hysterical, even to Eva. "We have to keep it down," Cogsworth said a bit nervously. "We don't want the Master to find out." Eva blinked and slapped her forehead softly. She got so caught up into the story that she forgot to really analyze who's dream this was. But it didn't take a genius to know who the Beast was. Besides, they are leading up to a racket he can't ignore. It was actually a perfect setup to find Lucas in this giant castle anyway.<br/><br/>Rose and Eva entered the dining area. Lumière goes on talking about, "Sure sure, but what is dinner, without a little music?" He smiled playfully and began his number on the dining table in front of the two. One of the chairs moves up behind Rose so she could take a seat. Eva sat on the armrest beside Rose to watch the show. She had heard about this scene in the movies and stuff... but had never seen the movies herself. It was pretty entertaining, the singing wasn't bad, there was lots of colors... even the food tasted amazing. This had to be enough of a racket for Lucas to come down and ask what was going on. The real question is... what was he going to look like? On top of that, was this story going to revolve around having a girl fall for him? Eva doubted it just from the detail of that her dream and Rose's dream had changes from the original. The only way she could find out was through the talking inanimate objects...<br/><br/>Eventually the display ended, all the kitchenware and silverware were once people as well. They seemed happy to entertain... to have guests. Eva clapped and Lumière takes a bow. Eva didn't want to play around though, she politely asked if she could ask them a question or two. "How did you all end up this way? And who is your Master?"
