This house will be based on the layout of the Winchester House - which has never been successfully mapped.

The ad read:
Room for Rent - Furnished. Utilities included. Terms negotiable. Inquire in person. Office hours Sunday - Thursday 2100-0400.

The house was creepy looking even during the day. At night, it was downright gothic. It was huge - 160+ rooms set at the end of a long street on about 160 acres and surrounded by a menacing looking wall. There were a few other houses on the block, but those were in disrepair and mostly condemned. Most of the streetlights were long in disuse. It was the sort of place that even children wouldn’t dare one another to approach.

The locals had plenty of rumors about the place. Ghost stories, axe murderers, evil witches, mad scientists. Going to the place at night was way worse. Gargoyle statuary, creepy looking angels, the place had it all. If the owner wanted to open a haunted house they could have made a fortune.

But you were broke, jobless, desperate, homeless. You needed a place to stay and “negotiable” sounded like the only price you could afford. You just hoped the landlord wasn’t some creepy old man who expected to trade rent costs for … you know … Eww?

Character(s)
I did consider making this a group RP, so if you know someone you want to join us, by all means ...

Your choices are pretty open - male or female. The only limit is the basic description. Even that is honestly not set in stone. The idea is to have a character that really needs a place to live. And their hope might be a place they can work for room and board.

The Plot
The landlord has other tenants. They don’t all look so creepy. In fact, the landlord is creepy, but not the man in the pic. Most of your fellow tenants aren’t human at all. The interior of the house isn’t as creepy as the outside, but still not ideal. It is … lived in. But at least it is clean. And it has electricity.
