Wow, that is pretty cool! Your ideas are so well thought out, Lazuli!
OK, so we don't actually kill Arashel in the end, but err...make him see the error of his ways. In his past he could've had a habit for playing vamps off against each other, and perhaps he wants Damien as there is a secret hidden in Damien's bloodline, and being the last of his kind he should be pretty powerful by now- I emphasize should, lol.
Hehe, I think that would be pretty funny if Faraday suddenly flies away, and plus it will give the others the clue that something else is going on, especially if her face is very surprised. I'll leave the scenery descriptions to you then, just think knight armour, paintings, red carpet, chandeliers...your typical mansion scene. And I think it would be cool if sometime in the thread there is a huge dance- of course it will be in Damien's memory but everyone gets sucked in accidentally, back in time for a few dances, so you guys can see how different he was then to now.
*shrug*
Just an idea.
