@jo_suzaku @Sosuke0549 @Sai-Miyoshi (in order) ''I. Am. Hungry!'' Ansel's booming voice bounced and echoed through-out the halls of the large mansion, causing the two two other men in the household to rush toward him. His heavy boot-covered feet kicked against the bottom of his gorgeous mahogany throne. A painful sort of thirst rushed through his vains. Ansel's desire for hot human blood against his sharp pale tongue drove him further, aroused him. ''Feed me!'' A low sort of growl erupted from the back of his throat, and he immediately smashed the crystal wine glass that elegantly once rested upon his slender fingers, on the ground. He ran a hand through his silky blonde hair and shot up from his seat, beginning to pace back and forth. ''Bring me a human boy immediately.'' Ansel's now deep red eyes darted across the room, his chest heaving. Ansel's aura seemed almost deadly, and the look in his eyes could make even a grown man cry. He had this odd, dark affect on people.

I think most of you have already decided or maybe you have decided long ago and you've even made your costumes but since it's fun try this quiz as well My result...

I love it! Thank you to whoever or whomever are responsible for the wonderful Halloween themed banner I am looking at right now. It makes coming to the forum even an even better experience for me. :hamtaro-005 (23): By the way, this is my first post!!! See the banner was so moving I had to get out of lurker mode and actually post!
