Pandora Hearts: The Arrival of the White Witch

A ripple forms on the floor's surface. Light began to surround the room as tremors resound throughout the manor.

"W-what's going on?!" Fred Nightray yelled as he tried to keep his balance.

"This presence…it's a Chain!" The official from Pandora yells in alarm.

"Could it possibly be the Raven?!" Duke Nightray exclaims in fear.

"It's not impossible, however, Gilbert has already formed a contract, so it couldn't possibly be the Raven." Xerxes Break replies, shifting his gaze to the black haired teen on the floor.

Behind them, Vincent Nightray stood shocked as he recognizes the incoming presence.

This presence…it's the same as that person's from  long ago…could it be..? Vincent thought as he shielded his eyes as the light intensified.

Chains began to appear in front of the Door to the Abyss. A strong gust of wind began to encircle the area from which the chains appeared. The occupants of the room looked on in fear and interest.

A young girl with ebony black hair appeared before them, the chains seemingly connected to her body. Slowly, she descended to the floor, her long black dress flowing as the wind died down.

The chains broke and dissipated as silence enveloped the room.

"Leia…" Vincent whispers, as he was rooted to the spot while taking in the image before him.

The girl, 'Leia' slowly opens her eyes, glazed golden eyes gazed at the blond. She smiles at him then turns to the still unconscious raven. She parted her lips, and spoke with a voice barely above a whisper.

"I finally found you, Gilbert." 

The room was still. No one moved, still overcome by the sudden turn of events.

Leia went on her way to the raven. She knelt down in front of him and saw the flecks of blood from the Raven's attack during the trial. She smiled and pulled the teen gently to rest on her chest. She ran a hand through Gilbert's messy locks and smiled.

"Once more, the Raven finds his Master." she murmured, eyes never leaving the other's face. "You've grown so much, Gilbert…"

"Well, well, for you to show yourself here is quite surprising, do you not agree?" Break spoke up as he took a step forward. "However, you wouldn't mind introducing yourself to us all as you've rudely appeared in this realm without any form of consent or contractor."

Leia turned to look at him. "It's you again…" she said as she laid Gilbert back to the ground. "My apologies. I've been too focused on finding a way out of the Abyss and look for Gilbert that I did not realize that I've trespassed into the Nightray's home."

Murmurs broke out. Vincent had a feeling that things would become a lot more chaotic after this.

Leia gazed at each occupant of the room before turning to Break once more.

"My name is Leia. Leia Baskerville. Daughter of Glen Baskerville"

As those words left her lips, the room erupted into chaos.

Pandora Hearts: Collapse

Blades clashed against one another. The Chain, Alice, the B-Rabbit, grinned in satisfaction as she brought down her scythe on another lower leveled Chain and jumped back to the ground.

She chuckled as she hefted the scythe to her shoulders. "It's getting boring having to deal with the lot of you every single day." she said as she swung her scythe once more, hitting numerous Chains which dissolved in an instant.

"Alice." A voice called from behind her spoke as the brunette turned to the owner of the voice. "We should head back to the manor, Break might go looking for us soon."

Alice let out an annoyed sigh and hid her blade before following the other back to their temporary home, the group of Chains having been destroyed with the last swing.

----

"Welcome back, Gilbert." Vincent Nightray greeted as his older brother closed the door behind him, Echo sitting beside him. "I take it things didn't go as planned?" he voiced out, smiling a bit.

Gilbert turned to look at him with a blank stare. He gave a small nod before heading to the second floor. Vincent sighed.

"Brother hasn't been the same…" he whispered, gazing at the spot where his brother once stood. "But considering things, it's understandable. Isn't that right, Echo?"

"Yes, Master Vincent." Echo replied as she gazed out the door. "Master Gilbert has not shown any of his usual self ever since the incident at Pandora."

Vincent smiled sadly at that. The incident at Pandora…of course it started with that. After all, Gilbert had--

"Vincent." a voice called. The blond looked up and put up his usual smile.

"Master." he greeted. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

The man sat down before him. "Gilbert has returned, correct?" he asked. "Has he made any form of progress?"

Vincent shook his head. Ah, he really needed to cut something right about now. His master was going to annoy him soon.

"I see. It seems his reeducation has caused his performance to drop significantly."

Who's fault could that be? Vincent thought in annoyance. If you hadn't appeared, then Gil would be--

"Vincent." the man called again. "I have a special task for you."

What could it be this time? Vincent frowned. "And what could this task be?" he asked, trying not to make his irritation apparent. He wouldn't want to upset his master, now would he?

"Find Oz Vessalius."

His eyes widened at that. "But why? If Oz Vessalius is found, that might cause Gilbert to--"

"I know what it could do to him, Vincent. However, you must notice that he is the only one who can 'return' Gilbert's stability." his master countered.

Vincent grit his teeth and stood. "Very well then. I will find Oz Vessalius and bring him here." With that, he left, making sure to slam the door.

Damn you…damn you to hell, Leo Baskerville!Was all Vincent could scream in his mind as he continued on his way.

Cosplay Plans and whatnot

Characters:

Pandora Hearts:

 

Leo Baskerville

"Gilbert. Shoot him."

• Leo Baskerville (リーオ, Rĩo also known as Reo), the current "Glen" of the Baskerville family.  He was Elliot Nightray's servant and friend. After Elliot's death, he accepted his role as the next "Glen" Baskerville.

Alice

"I'm scared that I'm not human. I'm scared that I'm different from other Chains... I fear the things I don't know. I fear the things I already knew... and at every moment... I always... more than anyone... fear myself the most!"

• Alice (アリス, Arisu) was a child of the Baskerville Clan 100 years ago, being born in the Abyss. Alice had her age accelerated to the approximate age of thirteen in a matter of seconds before being ejected from the Abyss. During the Tragedy of Sablier, Alice killed herself in order to stop Jack Vessalius from using both Alice's twin sister and Oz the B-Rabbit to destroy the world.

Sound Horizon: Marchen, the 7th Story Album

 

Elize

"Uhu~ I love you, Mär. We'll be together forever and ever from now on, right? Ahahaha~!'

• Elize is one of the main character's of the 7th Story CD, a mysterious doll who serves as Mär's guide and assistant as he helps the seven maidens get revenge on people who have wronged them. She is a malicious soul whose only drive seems to get revenge on someone or something.  

These three are my current plans in terms of cosplaying for the months of September until December. There's a chance that only two of these characters will be done in the end.

HetaDay 2011 (Hetalia Day 2011)

Hetalia Day 2011

PRUSSIAS/GILBERTS. PRUSSIAS/GILBERTS EVERYWHERE!! D8 There were quite a lot of Prussia/Gilbert cosplayers at the event last year (I wasn't part of the Prussias at the time -facedesk-)

I gained new friends in this group/fandom gathering that day~ they're quite great and easy to get along with~

THE PANEL. OH GOTT, THE PANEL! Everyone was so in-character, it was quite believable that it was actually the Axis and Allies (with an added Spain/Antonio in the middle) gathered around for the question and answer panel of the event.

 

All in all, last year's HetaDay was one of the most enjoyable gatherings amongst fans of a given fandom. I met a lot of new friends and managed to interact with people more. I hope this year's HetaDay would be as fun as last year's! I just can't wait!
