Black Roses is written by The Gentleman Anachronism. It is set in an analogue of modern Earth, or rather, a parallel world existing alongside an analogue of modern Earth, and concerns the efforts of the Halt Duke, Mephistophilis, to regain his rightful place as Lord of Hell from his insane and sadistic cousin, the Lady Lucifer. Or, to be more correct, the efforts both of him and his somewhat ragged band of men (and women), all of whom live in what seems to be a base set up in an abandoned (and haunted) Victorian asylum. The world in which this is set is an odd one, in that it has the power to pull people from other worlds to it. This is why several rather familiar faces (from Saranados) make a reappearance in this book, although time does seem to have altered them a little...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pieces written in the Black Roses verse can be found here, and a few older ones here

comment
Psycho for Hire: Sabbat's only working for the Duke because it means he gets carte blanche to murder, maim and mutilate.

I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder
 Black Roses / int_658854ee
comment
I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder: Malben is rather fond of this phrase. "I'm a doctor, not a stepladder." Kay says: "I'm a bouncer, not a surgeon."

Dissonant Laughter: Sabbat bloody loves fighting, and tends to break into laughter when the battle's going his way.

Hallucinations: Sabbat hallucinates that Archer is with him when he's locked up in the asylum. Malben convinces himself he's hallucinating when he sees Pelita. It turns out it's her ghost.

From the Mouths of Babes
 Black Roses / int_e0140e6c
comment
From the Mouths of Babes: Pelita's vocabulary is a little rougher than the average five-year-old's. And she also knows far more about autopsies, surgery and the best ways to kill people than she really should.
