At the center lay mansion, built on a paradise, where the gods sang and danced worlds into existence. No one knows what happened, but the worlds split, and the paradise froze over, becoming a wasteland. However, the mansion still remained, and it was lonely. It searched for ways to bring people through the barrier between space, opening its doors and lighting its lamps so that they could feel welcomed in the cold. The people danced the nights away, making the mansion very happy. So happy that it choose the strongest of them to stay with it. Every one of them faded eventually, leaving it alone again. To this day, it keeps searching, using the people to keep itself warm in the cold winter night.<br/><br/>~~~~~<em>The Main Ballroom</em>~~~~~<br/><br/>Rikki wandered among the many people, sliding around them (and sometimes through them) without ever being noticed. She preferred it that way, with all the noise going on around her, she had enough to keep her entertained than any one conversation would keep her. It was her fourth time returning to the mansion, though she had only gotten up on the luxurious stage and sang once. A spur of the moment, one that she was deciding on doing again. The band playing now was a slow waltz, both the band members and the instruments completely unknown to her. She paused, wondering where they came from, why they were here, and what drove them to create the waves of sound washing over the various guests.<br/><br/>Then again, same question could be asked of her, and she chuckled to herself at the thought. Everyone had their reasons to be here.
