[Rainbowfox Ari]

The man at the bar looks up as the Bats approach, and motions to the bar. There are plenty of seats available. He smiles, and listens to their story, face slowly falling as they mention the apparition that he did not see. From the expression he's wearing, it's clear that this is not an unusual occurrence. Sighing, he puts down the drink he's nursing, and leans toward the Bats.

"That was Caspian. I'm sorry K didn't warn you about him. The rumors of this mansion being haunted are far from fictional, I'm afraid. Caspian was... a good friend of K's, before he hung himself in the upstairs bedroom that sits on the top of those stairs."

He motioned vaguely to the twin staircases outside of the bar and the ballroom.

"Nobody knows why he hung himself, but people do still see him on occasion - usually when messing with his piano out there."

With a shake of his head, he picked up his drink, and sipped it, listening to their next question.

"Ari? Oh, a fox-boy? Yes, I saw him. K escorted him in here to have a chat and a drink - some cockamamie Nox scheme or the like. I don't know where he went afterward, but K mentioned something about taking him out into the garden while they waited for people to be gathered for some game or another. A couple of hours after that, K comes in here like a whirlwind, looking for Ari, can't find him, and stomps off in a huff. Seriously, that's all I know."

The man blinks, and looks at the one Bat who asked who he was.

"Ah, me? I'm nobody special. I'm K's boyfriend of the moment. That doesn't really mean much. Boyfriend doesn't equate to lover, I'm afraid. That's what you get for dealing with a centuries-old vampire. They don't have much tact left."

[Due to the lack of time, this is the last interaction you may choose, and I'll wrap everything up within your next interaction post]

The BATS May:
- Move to the Garden
- Go Upstairs
