Company Like This: By Blood-Sucker-1428
After ensuring it was dry enough Riff Raff hung the hand made "Enter At Your Own Risk" sign on the wrought iron gate. It was designed to discourage any curious earthlings from just wandering up to the aliens' lair unwanted. He took a step back to admire his handy work.
The phrase on the sign was not Riff Raff's first choice. He initially wanted it to say "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" finding it extremely fitting that the inscriptions to the gates of hell be on these castle gates. He mused this idea to Magenta, even reading the excerpt from the Devine Comedy to help explain it. She had agreed it was fitting but that Frank would not appreciate its humour. Reluctantly Riff agreed and so the new phrase was used.
It was a good idea not to intentionally irritate any of the three members of the household as of the moment. Sure they had only been on earth for about a month and had only been studying earthlings in order to fit in but the trio's childhood bond had already started to fray at the edges due to spending such long periods of time together. Riff Raff and Magenta had always spent large amounts of time together but sometimes they found their frustration at the living situation on a distant unknown planet coming out on one other.
They needed new company and they needed it soon.
But there lay the problem. They weren't ready to go out and befriend earthlings yet without the earthlings knowing something wasn't right with these people and they couldn't just admit to anyone what they were. What with fears of the FBI and other such government officials. The creation they came to earth to start would not be completed for a long time either, years. Even then it could be a failure.
So until they deemed themselves ready for complete earthling contact or Frank just got bored of the current situation, Riff Raff, Magenta and Frank were stuck in this castle that seemed absurdly smaller everyday for the unforeseeable future.
Riff Raff inwardly sighed and his mouth twitched as he enter the castle grounds again, shutting the gates to hell behind him. As he walks back to the castle itself lightning flashes, followed by the sound of thunder. And just as he reaches the shelter the rain starts to fall.
"Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here."
Only around the corner did some company lie but little did they know that new faces would only allow for a brief reprise in the darker undertones of the castle.
