Mythical Talks

Tis the Season to be Creepy...

Darkness... Everything is just dark. Then, a small green flame appears.

"What's that coming from?"  You question in your head.

You squint to see what's generating the fire. You can kind of see something, but it's unclear. You take one step forward and squint some more. There, just under the toxic green flame, is the shape of a hand in the fire's dim light. Suddenly, in a poof of green smoke, the flame disappears. A white, toothy smirk, showing the small fang of an animilia, becomes visible in the darkness. I creepy giggle echos through the area, and the smirk is gone. There's the sound of lights being turned on, and the whole place lights up. You turn, looking around the area. It's the inside of a blue circus tent, and you're standing in the middle of the ring.

"Welcome, Brave, to this, my ring of fright!" A female voice announces.

As she says ring, the same green fire as before creates a ring around your feet. You give a small sound in surprise, and pull your feet closer together, away from the flames.A loud giggle echos through the room, the same giggle as before.

"What? Scared already? But, the fun hasn't even begun!" The voice says, followed by some laughter.

The laughter sounds slightly crazed, but a sort of forced craze. The lights dim, and hypnotic, neon green spotlights light up one specific spot. The flames around your feet straighten to a line, then slither like a snake to were the spotlights are pointed. It circles the light, then spirals to the center, creating one big swirl. The spotlights shut of, and the flames shoot up, turning the color of reddish-brown rust. The creepy giggles fill the area once again. You take a few steps back as you see a silhouette through the flames. The fire clears, and there stands a dark grey hooded figure. They're wearing jeans and white sneakers; a black collar around their neck with a small gold bell. Hair the color of reddish-brown rust lays in front of the figures shoulders, coming out of the hood. A pair of blue glasses' frames catch the light so you can see them, but the figures eyes are still hidden in the shadows of the hood. The most unsettling part, is the smirk on the figures face. It's the same smirk as before. There's a small, eerie jingle noise as a tail wags into view. The tail is striped in darker and lighter shades of the color the figures hair is. There's a band near the top of the tail, a gold bell attached to it.

"W-who are you?" You hear.

You notice just a bit after that you were the one speaking. The figure lets out another creepy chuckle. It echos off the walls of the tent and fill the whole area.

"Why, I'm your hostess of coarse! Oh, but wait, I guess that doesn't really answer your question." The figure answers, her hands in her hoodie's pocket and her tail wagging behind her.

The room goes dark again, but only for a split second. The figure is gone with the darkness. You hear the creepy laugh again, and reluctantly turn to look behind you. There's an upside-down circus bucket, like the ones elephants balance on. Only, this one is huge. You look up to see the top, and find the figure there, still laughing.

"Take a seat, my dear, my darling!" It shouts, looking down at you for a moment.

You take a step back and stumble, your butt landing in a chair. A green flame slides down the bucket and circles around your feet, keeping you from getting back up. The bucket starts to rotate and sink into the floor. The figure is still on top laughing. When the figure is on the same level as you, she snaps her fingers, jingling can be heard as she lifts her hands above her shoulders, and more green flame appears at her finger tips. Her sleeves roll down a tad to show a black band on each of her wrists, much like the ones on her tail and around neck, each has a bell attached. Her hood falls back to show her pointed cat ears. Then, you make eye contact, and you can't seem to look away. Her acid green eyes seem to be glowing, framed by her blue framed glasses. It feels like they're staring right through you.

"I am Annabell Morder! Trickster, Carnie, Storyteller, and Magic User." She twirls her hands, the fire in them disappearing, and bows.

Finding your words, you ask, "W-what do you want~?! Why- How did I get here?!"

She stands up straight, smirking at first. Then, she completely loses it. She falls on her back laughing. You look at her confused. The fire around your feet disappears, and the chair beneath you butt turns into a beanbag. You struggle to sit up, and look around as the circus tent disappears to show the inside of Dan Dan's main room. You stare blankly at the neko in front of you.

"Y-you-! You were actually scared~!!" She shouts, laughing uncontrollably.

"W-what~?" You ask, still confused.

"I-it was all a joke~! A Halloween prank!" She sits up, holding her stomach and still laughing. She wipes a tear from her eye.

"Wait, are you a pet up for adoption?" You ask.

"What?" She stops laughing finally. "Nope, just an alley cat. And anyways, all of Dan Dan is still out, and about. I don't know where they are, but they aren't here~. I don't think they know about me either, but I know a lot about them. The town loves 'em. I don't get how a human can get along with all those animilia though."

"Wait, so how are we in Dan Dan?" You ask.

"Hhm? Well, they've been gone a whole, and I don't really know when they'll get back. So, I decided to watch the place for them. I used my magic to get in." She smiles.

"That's trespassing!" You shout.

She opens her eyes and looks at you funny, before smiling. "Pft. No it's not~. Obsidian knows me. Though it's been a VERY long while since she's seen me. And, we didn't really have the best relationship... At all~... But, she knows me."

You look at her confused.

"Anyways, I'll be here til they get back. It's actually the perfect time too. I love the Fall, Halloween and anything creepy." She says. "Anyways, Dan Dan is still closed, but the rest of the world isn't. Leave me questions in the comments below, braves. And, I will answer them. May-be..." She winks. "Anyways, Bye Braves, Keep your nightmares locked up tight." She closes her left eye and puts a finger to her mouth to shush you.
