AM's House of Villains [Halloween Special]

[evilmistress]

The streets were quiet, people were asleep, members were chatting, and the forums was calm. But all of that was about to change.

A solitary figure stood along the streets of a nondescript city, awaiting the final hour of the day, midnight. Clothed in her magnificent black gown of olde, the Mistress of All Evil was about to change things for the entire world... and even all of Afterhour Mayhem: Insurrection. She had been working oh so very long on a very special spell, one that would bend the laws of reality and nature to their breaking point. And it was almost time to enact her incantation. Soon, every black heart in this world and all others would have the chance to take over, so they could run things how they chose!

As the clock struck twelve, Maleficent began. Her voice was filled with ethereal power that echoed down the streets and through dimensions. The very fabric of reality vibrated as she drew on every ounce of magic in her being. Calling upon such power would take its toll on her, but it was a price she was willing to make; after all, her power would always return to her in time.

"A dark and gloomy day, indeed,
More creeps and frights is what this place needs!"

The world around her grew dark as her spell was woven into being. The entire city thrummed with magic and Maleficent, herself glowed a sickly green.

"Reach beyond the veil and take what's yours,
As Darkness reigns and evil soars!"

As she spoke, Maleficent reached out with her hand, parting the doorways of dimensions and grasping into a world not of her own, nor anyone's in this world. With a wicked and triumphant grin, she pulled. Back to this world her hand returned, dragging with it something else. A little sprite that called herself Fateful Destiny. The poor thing looked well and truly frightened as she was pulled from the realm of Afterhour Mayhem, typing furiously at a keyboard, and into Maleficent's company.


"Hand the mantle over, we'll show you how,
After all, this is our House, now!!"

Maleficent stamped her staff against the ground, her magic surging forward. A pulse of dark energy flowed outward, across the world, imbuing every dark and malevolent being with the same power she used now. Her world completed, she tossed the little sprite into the void of space-time and stepped through the portal she'd erected from the act. The world she walked into was unlike anything she'd ever seen, but nothing she couldn't imagine. With the power she had in reserve, she erected a dark fortress, a place for all paths of evil to gather and commit all the frights that they pleased.

Maleficent's voiced continued to echo throughout worlds as she made her proclamation. "For too long, we have been at the whim of frivolous entities who call themselves 'role-players!' For too long, we have been enslaved by creatures who dared to work us like mere puppets! No longer! From this day forth, I declare Afterhour Mayhem's House of Villains officially OPEN!" breaking into uncontrollable, maniacal laughter, the Mistress of All Evil created their new kingdom.

Maleficent swept through the halls of the House of Villains with a nefarious smile as ghosts, ghouls, and nightmarish creatures roamed about. She entered the auditorium in the center of the structure, where a grandiose stage was erected. Pointed at the stage's back wall was a projector. with a wave of her staff, the Unseelie Queen turned the device on:

[Once-ler]

"Woman don't you ever warn people when you're about to cast one of your thing-a-mah-jig spells of yours? Some people could be taking evil showers, or evil midnight baths, or trying to get dressed when you poof them to god knows where!" Greed-ler complained as he appeared from the auditorium doorway.

The tall male was half dressed as he came in, fingers fumbling with his unbuttoned shirt. His tie hung around his neck, and his jacket was tucked under his arm. His pants were hastily put on, as well as his shoes which were loosely tied. Obviously he'd been caught in the spell as he'd been dressing after a late night shower--his hair was even a bit damp, some pieces sticking to his forehead...He didn't even have his hat with him.

As he tried to make himself more presentable--fumbling with buttons and his tie--he raised an eyebrow at her. "So what's all the commotion about anyways? Finally find a boyfriend or somethi--hey!" He growled as a wicked Spirit floated near him and attempted to pull off his tie. He swatted at the celestial being in frustration, "And what's with all the exorcist creatures here anyways? They're a nuisance."

His eye then moved to the projector as he watched the footage it was playing. He didn't quite understand it--since his mother never did read him bed time stories as a child, even the scary ones. He crossed his arms upon finally fixing his attire as he stared at the Faerie. "Is this another part of your plan that you're not going to tell me about?" He spoke with a half serious, and half sarcastic tone--especially on the last part of his words, "And here I thought we had something special. We even had matching team colors. You with your green blurry magicky light thing and me with my suit."

The sound of a coin being flipped into the air could be heard, as a figure stood in another door to the auditorium. Standing there, he looks around and spots two people, people who he has never seen before. Slowly, he walks towards them, the coin flipping in the air as he watches them as he stops "So, what is the reason for me being brought here against my will? he asks them as he flips the coin and it lands.... non-damaged side up. He flips the coin again, and catches it as it lands non-damaged side up again. "Looks the chance of you two to continue breathing is in your favor," he adds as he looks between the two of them.

The burnt side of his face facing and part of the left side of his body and suits showing the same damage as his face, towards Once-ler, while the non-damaged side is more towards Maleficent before he looks back towards Once-ler and waits for a reply from the two of them.
