Château de Lalune

@Jig Love ya too. I understand school is a special kind of hell.

Northwood Academy

Yay a POST!!!!!!

The Librarians and the Savior's Sword.

Any idea when you want to start this?

Peculiar

More ideas are forming for this as I read the Tales of the Peculiar.

So yeah... anyone?

Peculiar

If anyone is curious I'd like for it to be set before the beginning of the books, so we can have weights to deal with. Alternatively I was thinking of a story from before the whole incident so the build up of unrest is what we deal with.

Peculiar

I'd like to explore the world of the peculiar who is with me?

Château de Lalune

A Foyer leading into the main parts of the house, it is a pleasant room with paintings of flowers adorning the walls, and an overly large grandfather clock against the wall between two doors. The door on the left leads to the dining area, and the door on the right leads to a grand ball room. The wall that separates the two can be moved, but is rarely ever moved.

From the dining area there is a bar that allows for dishes to be slid from the kitchen, as well as a swinging door that is more often than not propped open with a bucket. In the kitchen one would find at least two employees, a full time cook, unnamed and mostly unimportant, but there if anyone decides they want a late snack. Curiously enough the cook always seems to be up, or at least comes quickly at a shout. The kitchen itself offers just about any food or drink one would wish for. There are three doors in the kitchen, save the one leading to the dining hall. One leads to a large cold pantry, another outside (this door is old, and screeches loudly when opened), and the last to a small bar. The bar opens up to the side patio and back into the foyer. There are three seats at the bar itself, and then two small tables are shoved together with assorted seats of varying ages and sizes. Lena Wolf is commonly found working on her computer at these tables, sometimes Elizabeth is with her, but more often than not Elizabeth is hard to find.

The ballroom itself is decorated as if someone was obsessed with the 1920’s and forgot the intervening years happened. The best part about it is the large doors that open out to the patio allowing for the cool river breeze to blow through. Another set of sliding doors, much like the ones to the dining room, but are permanently open lead to what could only be called a music room. There is a Piano, a Harp, and some other assorted instruments. Some in much better condition than others. There is also a state of the art sound system in the music room. When the sliding doors are shut the room is perfectly set up for surround sound.

There is one other room on the first floor. An ancient parlor that seems to have only been entered by the maid in the last 20 years. It doesn’t look at all pleasant to sit in, and an obnoxious clock that chimes what could only be described as a victory march every hour on the hour tends to drive anyone that would want to use the room in the first place. The windows to the outside world in this room are sealed shut, and painted over. It might have been a pleasant room otherwise. There are several paintings and a large ornate bookshelf in the parlor. One of the paintings is of Vorace himself, a neat gold plaque declaring Vorace Lalune/May he rest in peace/The Year of the Lord 2010. Another of a younger Agatha, her face seemingly refusing to smile, there is no plaque for her painting. The final painting, a long oil painting that hangs over the mantel, is of the family. The whole family, before any tragedy. Both Agatha, and Vorace as well as their son, his wife and their son (Rene). Elizabeth is not present in the painting, but it may be assumed from the daughter-in-law’s face she would have been born shortly after the painting was made.

A large staircase leads upstairs from either side of the foyer. At the top of the stairs one can turn left or right. To the right, over the ballroom and parlor side of the building, the group will find their names on a door. There are exactly four doors, each plaque appears to be handwritten calligraphy.

To the left are more doors, but those belong to the family, and seem to be locked.

There is another staircase leading up, into an attic, which for now is off limits.

A staircase in the bar leads to the basement where the family’s wine collection is stored. There is also a rec room that may be used for future story, but for now know that it seems to be one of the most modern rooms in the house, as it appears to have been renovated in the 90’s and then forgotten.

Hogwarts World Tour

Posted for both of my nerds. If anyone would care to reply to Kyle they may (doesn't even have to be Siobhan).
Also for my own personal entertainment I am going to say Kyle's French is a bit off, maybe a different dialect and holds him in some awkward places later, he is by no means fluent, though he could hold a conversation (as long as it is in the correct dialect).

Hogwarts World Tour

Kyle

Kyle didn't have any issues with the port-key. It wasn't his first one, so he was one of the few standing. His French was good enough, but Will had already stepped up that Kyle didn't bother helping.

He was however distracted as the group followed the bellhop and therefore ran right into Mary, who looked like she was about to topple over on her own. He held her elbow for a moment as she regained her balance, she didn't even seem to notice, which worried him. Had the portkey bothered her that much?

Then they were dividing rooms, a brief exchange with Darren and Siobhan, one that made Kyle briefly hopeful that he and Siobhan would get to share a room. Siobhan turned Darren down though leaving Kyle to room with Darren. Kyle didn't mind Darren in the slightest, despite him being a Gryffindor. Mostly it had to do with how he had treated Siobhan in the last year. Darren was nice enough though.

"I was here once..." Kyle trailed off. "I was very little mind you, maybe three years old. All I really remember was looking up at the light filled jars." He gave a small shrug. It was so long ago. Before all the terrible things happened, hell's bells he was certain he and Maggie were on good terms even. Of course good terms was a relative term, he was fairly certain she hadn't tried to kill him yet.

"But yes I am a pureblood." There was a hint of contempt at the phrase, and Darren would most likely either pick up on it, or have learned through rumors in the years at Hogwarts how little Kyle cared for that term and all that came with it. Kyle was quiet a moment longer. "Now if I recall there is a place you might find of great interest." Kyle flashed a bright smile at Darren, one slightly forced giving it a painful quality. "It is across the street and down a set of stairs." There was a passage in a guide Kyle had read about a bar that was quite popular.

"I on the other hand am going to go check out the tower. I want to see if three year old me's memory stands up." He pulled a knapsack out of his trunk, which was no normal sized, and started right back out of the room. He paused for a moment outside of Siobhan's room, before knocking. "I am going to go explore the square want to join me?" It was better to get a no from her than to not offer and her indignant later.

Okay a post is up. My goal is to get house details up Sunday, since I have most of the day off. For now though please enjoy the meal that is laid out for you, consider anything that would a "light" dinner available (fruits, veggies, salad, some lighter meats, bread, coffee), and several different types of wine (all Lalune manufactured).

For your information as well, you do not see Elizabeth yet. Felix is of course there and pouring drinks. Your luggage has been taken care of and is being transported to your rooms. Details for said rooms will be provided within the next few days, no more than a week. If you have any questions feel free to PM myself or TM99.

Edit: Look I had a productive day doing nothing at work, even though I was sitting at work. So yeah. Basic building descriptions of the inside. Rooms coming soon.
