The warrior scratched his head. Closing the door wasn't really an option at this point. "Yeah. Go ahead." Dante began to journey down to the next door, opening it to reveal a few more books and a closet of some sort. This couldn't be Madam's Manor. The rooms were white, not plain and grey with torn wall paper. The books were kept on stands in the third floor and there was no closet in any of the rooms. Why did this place seem so familiar, then?
Whatever the reason, there wer only a few more doors down this way, so the next stop would be the higher floor.
"Hm... I guess soda. Any type, really. My question is going to be..." Opening the final two doors in the hallway, Dante found nothing except the question to ask Mora. "Fighting... Fan of it, or no?" The questions were simple. Nothing to big and nothing to privacy invading. Now, if Mora invaded his bubble of privacy, there would be a few questions that would so the same to her.
"Meh. Neither." Mora responded. "I'm not a fan of faighting, exactly, but being decent at it always gets a bit of incentive."
They were fast running out of rooms to check on the bottom area. Standing in the main foyer once more, Mora put her hands on her hips as she thought.
"Guess that's about all down here... you want to head up, then?" She then promptly covered her mouth. CRAP! Se didn't want that for her question! "Uh--"
Cast Call! Tuh Do List! HOW TO BOTH ANNOY AN ADMIN AND MAKE HER DRINK COME OUT HER NOSE:
"Uh... Sure. Anything bothering you?" Mora was starting to act a little strange. The stairs to the top were pretty tedious looking, but he bet the two could accomplish some stair climbing. All that remained was Mora's question. Dante had already started for the beginning of the staircase, the floor boards creaking as he stepped on them with hesitation.
"Hm? No, not that I can think of..." Mora bit her lip as she grabbed the handrail and started the slow way up, trying to avoid going along the center of the staircase. It's a well known fact that the best place to go up a creaky staircase is the sides: support is stronger there.
"Now, for my question..." Brows furrowed, Mora continued to think. "Um... howabout this: Why the cleaver?"
Cast Call! Tuh Do List! HOW TO BOTH ANNOY AN ADMIN AND MAKE HER DRINK COME OUT HER NOSE:
"Well, it's a long story, really, so, to cut it short, It's part of me. Sort of. It's just a weapon that I've grown attatched too. Don't you think it fits my personallity so far?" Well, there was a first. No one usually ever bothered about asking him about his cleaver. They just saw it and went on their merry way. Eh, what can you do? People will have all sorts of questions, so there only thing you can do is answer them.
"Hm... Are you adventurous?" With that asked, the Ex-Apprentice kept going up the stairs. It seemed that Mora was afraid of the old staircase. Going up things like this usually do scare normal people. Dante? Well, who's to say that he's the normal person?
Shaking her head, Mora replied, "Not especially, no." Picking up the pace some to match Dante's, she continued, "It's always gotta be about the end goal. I'll be adventurous if it all comes out OK. Otherwise, I'm probably a bit on the shy side."
Mora chuckled. "Guess I don't really know, eh? How about you? Are you much in the way of adventurous?"
Cast Call! Tuh Do List! HOW TO BOTH ANNOY AN ADMIN AND MAKE HER DRINK COME OUT HER NOSE:
"Yeah! I'm a true adventurer at heart! See, when me and my friends were living in Destiny Islands, we would..." Dante stopped, his mind hurting. He was searching for his memories about his friends, but nothing was there. Before, he could find those memories in a heartbeat, but now, it was a challenge. Was he losing his memories of Destiny Islands? No, that couldn't be. It was impossible for him!
He smiled still, trying to keep Mora from asking anything about the past. It was a half smile tht he gave, but it was all he could do at the moment. "Well, I seem to have forgotten about all of that... So, what are your favorite bugs?" It was a stupid question to ask a female, but some were real enthusiasts.
"Nah, only the tomboyish types. Sorry if I startled you or anything, hahaha!" The teen looked around and saw a few doors here, a large table in the middle with a green, glowing center. Dante had never been one to like the ominous scene, but this was pretty spiffy. He looked back at Mora, bowing and holding out his hand. "Would you allow me a dance, Miss Mora?" Dante wasn't attempting to be charming, nor was he trying to be smooth. The entire place, aside from the table, seemed like a giant ball room.
Dante knew how to dance, thanks to Madam teaching him a few things back when he was her Apprentice, so he only hoped if Mora knew how to. "Psst... by the by... this is my question. You already asked your's a second ago." A smile grazed upon the Ex-Apprentice's face, his hand still held out. Mora would probably refuse, but this would be something to talk about later. Something funny, perhaps.
Mora shoved the hand off to the side with a chuckle. "Uh, no. I don't dance. At all." Stepping away from Dante, Mora walked towards the green table. "Now what," she asked, hands on hips, "is this?"
Cast Call! Tuh Do List! HOW TO BOTH ANNOY AN ADMIN AND MAKE HER DRINK COME OUT HER NOSE:
The warrior stood up, chuckling as he did. What a shame. Well, they did have something to do, of course. Dante turned around to walk over to Mora, listening to her question. He laughed slightly, knocking on the table. "Uh... Mora... It's a table. A glowing, green table. Probably used for eating, maybe?" Nah, he was joking around. Now that he looked at it all, Dante wondered if this wasn't used for a meeting of some sort.
The Ex-Apprentice brushed his hand against the surface, feeling what seemed to be stone. "Hmm... Well, seems like an odd place to put this... Well, what about you? Have a theory?"
"Mm... I'm having more curiosity than theories." Mora shifted her gun around to her back as she thought. After a moment, she poked it.
...yeah. That was eventful. Frowning, Mora gripped the edge of the table and got down on her knees. Bent down and under the table, she poked around to see if anything would happen. No writing though, as far as she could see...
"Hmmm... I got nothing. You?"
