[vengefully]

[Though people are usually sleeping at this hour, well Sasuke wasn't. He couldn't sleep and most likely went off to train. By the time midnight comes, he was on his way back to his room and just as he enters he finds himself on his bed suddenly as he notices someone else behind him] -- what just happened and who are you?

_{[Ashura had been sleeping, and in the sneaky way of the Castle, had been transported into someone else's bed - all without waking him. It was the sudden weight of someone shifting in the bed that woke him, at first thinking it was Felix.]}

Felix?

_{[He turned over to look... and reared up, body tensed.]}

Who are you? What are you doing in our chambers?

[vengefully]

You're the one who's in my room.

[wishmadeinfire]

Your room?

_{[He opened his mouth to retort angrily again, and then his eyes seemed to adjust to the dimmer lightning, noticing the lack of familiar warm red glow from where his vanity should have been. The bed was different - not as big, not wrapped in soft silks and smelling sweet.]}

How did this happen?

[vengefully]

That is what I said.

[Sasuke just scoffs, glaring at the other] If I knew I would tell you-- maybe it's another one of the castle's tricks.

[wishmadeinfire]

Normally I do not like jumping to conclusions, but I find in this place that answer is usually the correct one.

_{[He slid out of the bed and went to the nearby door, grasping the handle and pulling, intent on leaving in peace... but the door would not budge.]}

Do you have a special locking mechanism on your door?

[vengefully]

It figures.

[Sasuke looks confused by the question momentarily as he looks over in his direction]

No, I have nothing of the sort.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He motioned to the door.]}

Then perhaps you should try opening it. Perhaps it is another trick of the Castle.

[vengefully]

[Sasuke stands up going to do just that. After a few failed attempts he looked annoyed at the outcome]

It won't budge, this is ridiculous.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Ashura glared at the door, glad to see there was a chair and he went and claimed it, sinking into it with the grace of the nobility.]}

What game is the Castle playing?

[vengefully]

Tch. I guess we'll be finding that out eventually if the door doesn't open anytime soon.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[His eyes darted around, taking stock of the room and noticing a rather off number of pink, white, and red things. They seemed... somehow odd. Was this really even the boy's room?]}

Yes... it seems for the moment we are stuck here. I would say I would try and burn the door itself down, but somehow I do not think that will work and I would rather not waist my energy.

[vengefully]

[Sasuke doesn't pick on that just yet. He'd just caught up trying to figure a way out of this]

-- burn it down?

If it wants to keep us locked in, that's probably true enough.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He nodded, considering the door from where he sat, drumming manicured nails against the arm of his chair.]}

I do not know how it does it, but it manages to make the wood fire-proof somehow. Either way, it does not leave us with a way out.

_{[No windows, though there did seem to be some natural light from somewhere, somehow. It made the pink, red, and white less garish.]}

[vengefully]

No kidding-- my jutsu might not work against it either.

[And hey, now he finally notices the sudden changes to the room too] It seems like it's even taken to redecorating the room too.

[wishmadeinfire]

So I noticed. I believe it has to do with the 'Valentine's' holiday.

_{[He was here in years past for it, but not like this. He frowns some, touching a plastic heart holding fake roses.]}

Sometimes I wonder about this place...

[vengefully]

Tch. I suppose it figures, the castle always has something happen on holidays.

[wishmadeinfire]

It does.

_{[He sighs again.]}

I suppose we will be trapped here for a time, so we might as well introduce ourselves.

My name is Ashura-ou, though Ashura will do.

[vengefully]

Uchiha Sasuke.

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, nice to meet you Uchiha. I wish I could say it was under less distressing circumstances.

[vengefully]

Tch. No kidding.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He rises and comes to the door, tapping it with his knuckles, cocking his head and listening with his long ears and shakes his head.]}

Well, what should we do? There is little enough in here.

[vengefully]

[Sasuke just shrugged. He was pretty apathetic about it]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Well, that is most unhelpful. He thinks and wishes up a deck of cards, so lovingly worked out with Valentine themes clear on them.]}

Care for some card games then? Or do you think we should try breaking down that door?

[vengefully]

Cards? I've never really played those type of games before. [he's heard of them offhandedly from his stay here but he's never really cared to play them]

[wishmadeinfire]

I have not, but some of my friends here have been teaching me.

_{[He smiles shuffling them with those long fingers.]}

How about a simple one first?

[vengefully]

Hn. Alright. Like what?
