He comes across a gothic, abandoned hospital. He can feel the presence of many spirits of an unusual kind flitting about, invisible. Puppets, dolls, and other toys lay scattered all over the ground. A statuesque man sits in a chair in the middle of the hallway, his dark clothes flowing in the wind as he stares at the floor, facing away from the Dark Lord.
Dracula cracks his knuckles and neck, knowing this place to be supernatural in some form, and that he might have some sway here. He returns to his true form, the recognizable demon of Transylvania who conquered death itself and has the legions of hell under his employ. He walks over, more confident, and taps their shoulder with a single claw.
The man doesn't turn. In fact, he barely moves. "So many bodies. So many nightmares. All in the name of human greed. This place... sickens me."
*Looks from left to right, shifty eyed.. coughs.. Hey kid, want some characters?...*
Luffy is eating a pile of cherry pies at the bar Saphuno is begrudgingly serving him
Lilac is hunting rabbits in the field
*Actually I wanted to rp with Lilac too.*
Gon, green shorts and shoes with a white T shirt, walks over and sits down at the bar, looks around 13 years old. Asks for a pie.
Someone absolutely giant walks by carrying several trees on his back. He is about 15ft tall, and completely covered in all natural muscle, tanned alabaster skin and the occasional group of red dragon scales.
Luffy, devouring the pies, stops and looks down at the kid, head cocked. "What'd you say?" he has pie in his mouth as he speaks
Giving up the hunt, Lilac decides to pad after the Giant.
The kid has taken out a giant fish and began to take huge chunks out of it, he speaks with his own mouth full “I want some pie. Who are you?”
The Giant drops some trees upon seeing Lilac, sitting down next to the trees, sharpening his great axe absentmindedly.
"My pies?! You can have one... I'm Luffy!"
"Hey, mister!" She calls to him.
“Hi, I’m Gon!” He smiles at him and takes one of the pies, consuming it in a few bites.
He looks down to them “Hello, I’m Ragnerious, who might you be?”

He stops, lowering his hand, said hand now shivering. He walks over to one of the walls, looking to it with rage before walking around to face the man, calming himself back down.
*Anyone else want to rp with me? And if so with whom?*
*I got my new boi if you want him?*
Deep within the woods, a deep screeching fills the air. Something between the mix of an animal and a person, both in such horrible pain. The animals in the area in the forest have disappeared, hidden in burrows and holes to hide from whatever it is.
A huge, bipedal skeleton of a crow stalks the area. It's rotting flesh and dirty feathers barely cling to its skeletal body that drops bits of rotting flesh to the ground. Its beady, lifeless eyes look around. A ghastly blue substance drips from its body, smoke spewing from it as the essence hits the ground. It clutches its stomach, doubling over and crying out again.
The mists engulf it, now in its place a handsome man. He stands about 6'2, tall and imposing. His stern features are treated with short silver hair with an undercut and a goatee. His black eyes were hollow and dull. His skin is pale, sickly almost. He wears beautiful purple and indigo robes that flow around him as if he is enveloped by the night sky. Strange markings cover his form, glowing deep blue and mapped across his flesh.
He takes a deep breath as if to steady himself, pulling out a necklace hidden under his robes. He rubs his thumb across the pendant, a silver dragonfly, pressing to his lips. He whispers a silent prayer to it before heading towards the tavern.
*I honestly don’t know if anyone would work with this guy, but I’ll have to see.*
The sound of shambling fills the air, steel clanking with the rhythm of steps, light glowing runes filling the air as Grove comes into view, waving at the new arrival, his soul swirling blue like the sky “Hello.”
The man looks up "Hello.." he utters, his voice sounding like a dozen more people trapped in one body "I am... Michael.."
His own voice grows similar, the spear in his chest moving around slowly as move souls come out of it to reflect his own, the blade on his back glowing as well “I am Grove, what are you? Are you like me?”
"Something... Much worse I am afraid." He sighs "It is nice to meet you though Sir Grove."
“As it is to meet you Sir Michael. If you are worse than a warrior and his victims all trapped in one body, then I am truly sorry for you.” He says, truly meaning it.
Michael sighs and shakes his head "Me, my daughter's and son, and my wife... We all died of scarlet fever.." he says, rubbing his eyes as if to stop from crying "Nevermind that, how are you?" He asks, putting on a smile.
“That sounds awful, I witness the disease in its worst days when I was still able to feel anything, I’m sorry I couldn’t have helped you or your family.” He says, shaking his head solemnly “I am doing fine enough, although this land is more bizarre than anywhere else.”
"Do you mind.. showing me around?" He asks, placing his hands under his sleeves "I have not been here before.."
“I would be happy to you, although I may be less than what you want.” He begins to walk, moving with steps slightly unstable, pieces of his body coming off and back together.
Michael follows, looking around. He touches the leaves, the rocks, running his fingers over the tree bark and the dirt. He seems curious about the area around him.
Grove doesn’t speak much, not knowing the area much himself, although he does seem to be reminiscing upon something as he walks, muttering to himself about the days far gone.
So spend your hours on What you think I've done wrong I know I'm in your mind I've been here way too long I want to spend my life With those who've done me right Your heart is frozen over I'm a four-leaf clover
"This place was a hospital. It was shut down for malpractice. They would kill the patients in secret, loot their estates, and burn personal effects. I worked here once. I was a nurse in the children's ward during one of the Plagues. I didn't know. Nearly every place in this world is a testament to my failures to act, to understand. I don't want my incompetence to go down in history again, if there would even be a history if I fail."
Ichigo returns to their armor, each piece clicking back into place. They put their hood back over their head, eyes looking back up at Myrrh. "It... Is good to let their... Souls.. rest. Not be.. used for... golems.." it rasps.
"Oh, the souls themselves? I made them. The bodies were the only things that were stolen. I gathered all the ghosts already, and I'll be giving them a proper send-off soon, if you'd like to join." He sighs. "Do you think I'm cruel, Ichigo?" It's a genuine question.
It hurls him to the ground, becoming invisible once more. "You will take contracts only from mortals until we have a handle on the situation. If you make yourself a threat to us, you will never wake up." He can hear other entities gathering around.
Leave no stone unturned. They scuttle past her, over her, and around her. Following behind is Attar, a tall, handsome, pale man in flowing fabrics. He doesn't seem to notice her, his eyes on the horrible, unseen spirits.
"I.... already do that..." he says, catching his breath.
She grimaces as she's scuttled on, squealing in disgust. "W-what the hell?..."
"Certainty is paramount. These are trying times, Hunter. We must keep our eyes peeled for traitors. Those who value coin over their lives, and the lives of their loved ones."
The man turns his gaze to her. "Sorry, Security measures. They aren't super well trained yet."

Luffy chuckles, fixing his hat. "Nice to meet ya kid!"
"I'm Lilac, Pet and Pupil of Silyxer the Devourer, bastard son of Ragnaris!" She says, a bit too proud of herself.
“Kid? I’m no kid I’m a hunter! I’m going to be the greatest hunter of them all!” He says, eating some more.
“Hmm, interesting. It seems my family goes bigger every time I blink.” He chuckles “That would make you higher than me on the family tree, I’m his grandson, long thought dead.”

He stops, lowering his hand, said hand now shivering. He walks over to one of the walls, looking to it with rage before walking around to face the man, calming himself back down.
The man is utterly gorgeous. The kind of face that's too perfect to occur naturally. "I could have stopped it all. The women, the children... all murdered in their sleep. For coins. Coppers. For organs. Failing. For souls. Fragile."
He finally looks up to see Dracula's face. "This place wasn't always evil. It tried its hardest to fight the infection, the festering animals who called themselves healers only to prey on those who needed it most. But it failed. I failed. Everyone failed. I will not allow such an event to happen again." He looks back at the floor. "This building cannot heal others until it is healed itself. I am purging it of its vileness as we speak. I want this damned earth to know a semblance of succor from the bloodshed it has endured."
"Certainty is paramount. These are trying times, Hunter. We must keep our eyes peeled for traitors. Those who value coin over their lives, and the lives of their loved ones."
The man turns his gaze to her. "Sorry, Security measures. They aren't super well trained yet."
"I'm just passing the time.. i'm sorry.."
"O-okay..." she says, sniffling.
"Do not let evil sit in your home, boy. It will fester until the walls themselves have leprosy. Cast it out from you." The spiders begin to scuttle off.
He kneels down, his gaze softening. "Hey. It's okay. We're here to protect you." He holds out a hand. "My name is Attar. What's yours?"
The man doesn't turn. In fact, he barely moves. "So many bodies. So many nightmares. All in the name of human greed. This place... sickens me."

“Hi, I’m Gon!” He smiles at him and takes one of the pies, consuming it in a few bites.
He looks down to them “Hello, I’m Ragnerious, who might you be?”

Michael points the tavern "An inn of sorts?"

He nods “Where most of the strange activity comes together.” He says, beginning to walk over.
(in a good way or a bad one)

I want to spend my life
With those who've done me right

I'll lay a white rose on the cold earth, knowing it that it has not claimed your soul.

As he talks, he feels any sort of negative emotion begin to drain from his body, leaving him with only positive feelings.
