Al skipped along to where Ava's voice was coming form and saw Pein being pinned down by Sebastian. "Oh dear. I think I may have forgotten something. By the way, the sex shop is unlocked. And Link, Allen is fine, he's currently..ummm yea, prefer not to say WHAT he is doing, but let me tell you this much. You're on his mind." And with that, Al vanished.<br /> <br /> "ooohh. what do we have here?" A creepy voice emitted from the cieling. Undertaker had managed somehow to sit upright on the cieling, with a cup of tea in his hand. "I do believe I see a few trapped rats, am I right Ava?"

"No, Link. Most of MY residents are capable of defending themselves against me." Ava casually pulled a gag from her pocket, gagged the annoying blond and then sat down next to Pein. "So... you really can't take on Sebastian? Or are you secretly into this stuff?"<br /> Before the bound man on the floor could answer, Ava heard her name faintly. "We're down heee-eeere!" she sang.

Link, now feeling the blood rush to his head, started struggling to remove the chains. "Don't do anything to Allen! He's still young! And-eh..this is super uncomfortable. Do you do this to most of your residents? Because if so, then remind me to never visit. Ugh, I really am getting lightheaded."<br /> <br /> Upstairs, a faint voice was heard from down the hall. "ava?! Where are you?!"

"I'm sure the furniture in this house can take care of itself," Ava shrugged, and found a winch in the ceiling which she used to hoist Link and his chains up to hang upside-down in the middle of the hallway. "You've driven me to this, you know. Feeding me sugar and then refusing to entertain me."<br /> Sebastian sighed. "Please, try not to make a mess, Aviana. This isn't our house, you know."<br /> "I'll keep it clean. Be a doll and truss up Pein for me, will you?"<br /> "Of course."<br /> There was a 'swoosh' sound, a startled yelp, and then a thud as Pein landed at Ava's feet, then Sebastian spoke from the top of the stairs. "Fear not, Mr. Link. I shall see to the furniture." Then the demon butler was gone.

Link, amidst the darkness, nodded. "I've dealt with my fair share of chains, the uses of them varied, but I don't think it matters if I dwadle on this topic any further. Take the ginger if you want, all it seems like he's good for is creating a mess and making me work more. And from what I know, he enjoys chains throroughly. Now, will you let me go? Allen might eat the furniture."

"You could just ask nicely, you know. " Sebastian emerged from the darkness and leaned over Link, smiling benignly. "I'll be happy to help you, if you promise to behave better in the future."<br /> Ava had other concerns. "Wait, so you're okay with chains if you're NOT in the dark with strange women? We may get along after all."<br /> She stood up from the floor, rubbing her hip, and grinned at Sebastian. "So, Sebastian, should we take pity on this guy and torture Pein instead?"

Pein almost choked on his food and slowly approached the dark entanceway. "Sebas...tian?" <br /> <br /> "Will you let me go? I really don't like being held in chains while in the dark with a woman I don't know. and on top of that, why do I sense a male figure smiling creepily in my direction? Pein, get me out! If you can't, then at least get Allen for me!"<br /> <br /> Pein looked up at the cieling and thought for a moment. Then suddenly, counting the cieling tiles seemed more interesting. Pein literally stood in the hallway, staring at the cieling, ignoring Link's cries for help.

Pein had no sooner spoken, when a chain flew out of nowhere, wrapped around Link's ankles and dragged him down the stairs while the hallway echoed with Ava's evil laughter. "Don't mess with me, blondie! I have horror movie villains on my side! And if that doesn't scare you, I'll get L to EAT ALL THE PASTRIES!!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!!!"<br /> Then there was a silence. "...Oh, hi, Sebastian. Uh... why are you lurking down here?"

Link leaned down the dark staircase. "Did you enjoy yourself? Because if you want, I can always create another wall and seal you behind it and Al will never find you. That will be entertaining, will it not?" <br /> <br /> Pein grumbled and began to walk away. "You don't want to be here when she gets up Link. She just might find a way to make your life as miserable as possible within a minute."

"Because you people are starting to bore the h*ll out of me, and when I get bored either somebody has to get naked or somebody has to get lost, maimed or abducted. That's just a fact of the Ava-verse."<br /> Ava took a step forward and immediately tumbled out of sight with a yelp. "...Stairs..." they heard her groan from somewhere in the darkness.
