Eien no Hana (Scifi/ Romance 1x1 RP filled)

[Raina_Ngei]

Hideki is a butler to the Stein Estate. The Stein gained their wealth by developing and selling miracle elixirs. Gio Stein, founder of the Stein's Miracle Serums, marketed himself on the claim that he had found the Fountain of Youth. Though in those day many people made this claims Gio had actually stumbled upon something. A mixture of chemicals so potent this a drop to much would whisk an eighty year old man into infancy before once very eyes. But of course Gio had to be a business man first. He had to make the effects temporary so he could support his growing family.

Once business was booming and money was secure he bought land to build his families estate and his laboratory, he even made enough to hire a couple of loyal staff, allowing their families to be housed with them. Working for the Stein family was a very secure job. Born into the head butler's family, it's the only job Hideki knew. As the years went on Hideki took over the responsibility of head butler at the tender age of 23. The new power helped him to fulfill the curiosity he'd suppressed for years. This curiosity lead him to Gio's secret laboratory. The family had been out of the house and he had given the staff a day off. He was alone with unlimited access to the fountain of youth. His greed got the best of him as he consumed a vile of the elixir labelled Regen.

The liquid burned like acid as it went out his throat and was absorbed into his blood. He fell to the ground has steam rose from his pores. He absolutely knew they he was going to die in that lab. Alone, in pain worst than child birth and to strength to call for help in the barricaded fortress of a lab. Little did he know this the extremely dry weather would seal his fate.

The Stein's never made it back home, because there was no more home to come back to and no what for Stein to get the elixir he had made his living off of. The Steins moved on and in time the estate.

Over 500 years pass before the estate is rebuild by one of Stein's descendants, Gloria Adams 24. Though years had passed and mergers were made to preserve the wealth of the Stein legacy Gloria was the only descendent of the family. She was obsessed with her family history even to the point of using half of her money to rebuild the original family estate for old blue prints that she had looked up, leaving out the details about the hidden Laboratory. She was most interested on finding it for herself.

In the middle of the night there is a small rumble in the west wing of the mansion. A thin but robust plant grows through the new foundation and pokes it's head out into the warm tungsten lit hallway. 500 years of burrowing to surface and it's hit with artificial light. He starts to bub then blooms spreading spores on to the toxic floor. The look of the flower its self is very bizarre. It was red with green spots as if it had a face. And the sweet smell of it's pedals enter the vents an filled the mansion.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

A low rumbling of foundation awoke Gloria. She was always a light sleeper. But who wouldn't be if they lived alone in such a vast mansion? She sat up in bed, turning on the light and looking around. She didn't hear the rattling of a construction machine, or the sound of rain from a thunderstorm. What had shaken the building?

Gloria stood up, her curly dark brown hair cascading just past her shoulders, she suddenly smelled something...sweet? It was like perfume...no more like a flower. She didn't have any sort of incense or candles burning. She didn't even usually buy flowery scents. She opened her bedroom door "hello" she called before mentally kicking herself. A shake and s smell didn't mean there was somebody in her home.  

[Raina_Ngei]

The floor began to give due to the bulk of sections of the roots. Her breath had began a domino effect. Every few feet a trail of roots poked out from under her new wooden floor, as if the destruction was leading her to a family secret. The root lead to the back door and continued a few more feet to an old dried up sewage drained surrounded by the the same little flowers. The smell much stronger at the drain.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

Suddenly the floor began to give, letting out a root trail in her floorboards. "What the hell?" she asked herself. She started following the trail. What could be causing this? She followed it down the hallway and out the side door, past the garden where an old sewage drain had laid hidden, partially covered in moss but now surrounded by little flower she knew she hadn't planted. She looked around. Only stars lighting up the sky as crickets chirped in her garden.

With a sigh, Gloria opened the hatch of the drain to smell that flowery smell even stronger. She'd never been down here, she'd never even looked at the sewage drain besides her fist day where she'd deemed it useless....could this be what she'd been looking for? Something so simple and looked over?  

[Raina_Ngei]

The sewer swelled with a massive moan of sweet air. It sounded like a mans cry for help but more flowers sprout from the roots this time the leaves glowed a mild tint of Blue and they seemed to align up to the drain and spiral around the insides until they met a vanishing point. The path seemed to be friendly one.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

The sewer itself seemed to come to life. It moaned...almost human like and even more flowers and roots sprung out, these ones glowing a slight blue as they spiraled down the drain, almost beckoning her to follow the trail. Gloria looked around one last time before taking a deep breath. "Oh screw it", she found the ladder, now woven into the roots and flowers, and started to climb her way down. The faint blue lighting giving her enough to see with, yet still managing to keep her in the dark to some extent. It was eerie...yet mystical at the same time. When Gloria finally reached the bottom, she looked around. The sweet, flowery smell almost overwhelming, making her bright blue eyes water a bit.  

[Raina_Ngei]

Mass of green roots plump and glowing a dim green. What stuck out from the root was even more surprising. A men was yards of brown bread and head hair lie entangled in the roots. It was as if the roots were his protectors and he was the very sustained of their life. But has carbon dioxide filled the atmosphere the root gradually loosed the naked man. Strings of slime weakly holding on to a severed attachment. He began to fall.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

Looking on into the sewer she discovered a mass of roots and flowers. They were bigger than all the others, glowing green instead of blue. But what really surprised her was a man entangled in the roots, being held there as if part of them. Her eyes widened, her mouth would've gaped open if she hadn't noticed the vines starting to give way. The guy was going to get seriously hurt from that drop. Out of reflex, she ran forward to help him as he fell. Barley reaching him in enough time for her to stick her arms out and catch him.

The problem with her plan...he was bigger than her. He sent her to the floor under him, the thin layer of slime getting on her. "Okay gross" she said as she attempted to push him off of her, only to realize...he was naked. "Woah now...hey buddy...uh...wake up...please?....this is going to be awkward" she said to herself, laying in this hidden chamber with an unconscious naked man on top of her that she couldn't move. Then another thought dawned on her...what if he was dead? Would anyone be able to hear her if she called for help? She had a neighbor just over the fence...how often did they go in their backyard again? 's**t...'  

[Raina_Ngei]

Hideki heard a muffled voice. Though it was distorted he could tell that it was from a woman. Could it be his beloved Anabelle? He was saved! Hideki's eyes open narrowly revealed bluish grey eyes and weakly held himself up. He looked at her, everything was so blurry. He saw the petite outline of a womanly figure, "Anabelle?" he asked hoarsely. Though his voice was wrecked from years of being unused, it was gentle and potentially friendly. His head started to spun and he started to feel how weak he was. He fell off to the side.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

Suddenly the man on top of her started to move. Gloria's eyes widened as she tried to figure what to say. He looked at her weakly, barley holding himself up before all but whispering "Anabelle?" he tipped over onto the floor, passing out again.

Gloria sat there with her eyes wide for a minute. Who was this man? Why'd he call her Anabelle? He hadn't sound like he wanted to hurt her. He sounded relieved...almost happy...but then again he'd obviously confused her for someone else. Goria stood, looking at him. She had to get him out of here somehow, he could be half dead or something...how long had he been down here? She didn't recognize him at all.

Grabbing his arm and draping it over her shoulder. Gloria heaved the man up, his feet dragging on the floor and Gloria having to use all of her strength just to not tip over. She half carried, half dragged him over to the bottom of the drain again, looking up at the light night sky. She was glad it was summer and the sun rose so early, that way she could see the handles.

Looking to the man again she looked back at the bars...there was no way she could carry him. She needed to get help.

An intense spot up sunlight moved over Hideki's eyes. He moved his head from right to left with no relief. He took a deep breath the slowly sat up. He looked around and saw how much damage had been done to the lab and ran her fingers through his unruly long hair, "Boy am I going to be in trouble..." he said under his breath before realizing his unkempt appearance and lack of clothes. He looked around for something to cover himself. If any of his employees saw him like he was he'd be the laughing stock of the whole household.  

[Bloodbeauty118]

"Screw you, Daniel!" Gloria said angrily to her fairly buff neighbor. He thought she was making everything up and he didn't appreciate being woken up so early. Her other neighbor was an elderly women. She couldn't even imagine the woman getting down into the place, let alone helping her carry that man out. Gloria angrily went home. She grabbed a blanket, a bottle of water, and a first aid kit and headed back out to the garden.

Gloria looked down the hole, about to go in again when she heard what sounded like mumbling, only audible due to the echo of the underground. She looked down to see the still naked man was awake, sitting up. "Hey...you're awake!" she called out "Are you alright?" she asked. She didn't go down though, she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to go near him yet, who knows what he was capable of.

"Uh..cover yourself with this please" she said, throwing down the blanket. He must feel just as awkward as she did about his lack of clothing.  

[Raina_Ngei]

Hideki was startled by the woman's voice and a bit bashful about his appearance. Once the blanket fell her quickly grabbed in and wrapped in around himself, "Um...Hello um there!" he called out, "Has Dr. Stein come home yet? His lab could use..." he paused and looked around, "A lot of cleaning."  

[Bloodbeauty118]

The man looked up at her, quickly covering himself when he got the blanket. He called out to her and asked...if Stein was home yet...Gloria's eyes widened 'Stein? Dr. Stein?' she thought, thinking of the reasoning behind her building up this mansion again. He then said that the lab could use some cleaning. "That's doctor Stein's lab?" she said aloud, more to herself than the man. She then looked down "How did you find this? How did you know who it belonged to?" she asked. Was he a historian that had been snooping in her yard again?
