Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Well if you do, send it my way ^^ I'd love to see what you imagine her home to be like

They're great, haha. I've got a gas fireplace at my house, and I use it all the time in the winter ^^ It's also cheaper than running the heater, so it saves us some money lol

Got my post done!

When Iris teased about the theater, Cas smiled. “It does from me,” he said loftily. “I like it better than going to the public theater anyway. It’s nice to have my own spot where I can watch all the newest movies without a crowd watching me.” He shook his head at the thought. He was used to all the attention he got as the prince of the country, but that didn’t mean he liked it. It was hard to relax in a movie theater when he knew half the audience was sneaking glances at him to see how he would react to a jump scare in a horror film or a tearjerker in a romance flick. Plus, there were always the reporters waiting to look for material they could use to write another pointless article about him. Being alone or with a few friends in the comfort of his home was much better.

At her gibe about him being squeamish, he scoffed. “I’m not that bad!” he defended, a little embarrassed by the accusation. “I still took you to the hospital even though you were bleeding all over me. I just prefer not to be around it if I don’t have to be…” That, and he just didn’t have much experience with blood and gore in general. High borns rarely engaged in anything that might get them hurt. The worst injuries he’d seen happen to real people before finding her were players on sports teams breaking bones every once in a while, and even that was through the distance of a TV screen. Still, though he was chagrined, he appreciated that she was even willing to say something like that to his face. Most other people he knew weren’t that bold.

While Iris looked around the bedroom, he set her things down by the wall and then stood near the window with his arms folded over his chest. Every time she reacted to the places he took her with such childlike enthusiasm, he liked it. Her energy was infectious, and he felt a smile creep its way onto his lips as he watched her sit down in one of the lounge chairs.

“Sure thing,” he said when she thanked him for bringing her bags. Taking a step away from the window, he added, “I’ll let you take some time to get settled. When you’re ready, come to the kitchen. It’s straight past the room we came in through on the other side of the house. If you need directions, the maids can help.” He glanced over his shoulder through the door. There hadn’t been too many servants running around that he had seen, but there were always some nearby. His family had a small army of hired staff, since their estate was so huge. He was sure she could find someone if she looked.

“I’ll ask the cooks to make us a late lunch,” he went on, turning back to her. “Hopefully, they’ll have that ready by the time you come out to eat.” He walked back to the door and grabbed the handle, casting her one more smile. “See you in a little while, Iris.” With that, he headed out, closing the door behind him to give her some privacy while he went to find the chefs.

Oh really? I'm excited to see what you find! :D

Same cx It looks so comfy, and I'd love to have a fireplace in my room for the winter

“Okay, it’s a little more reasonable than a million,” Cas rolled his eyes at Iris’s exaggeration. He had to admit it was a lot though. There were twenty-five rooms if one only counted the bedrooms and bathrooms alone. He didn’t even want to do the math to include the rest of the mansion. When he was a kid, he’d run through the whole house to count how many rooms there were, but it had been so long since then that he’d forgotten the total number. He was pretty sure it was somewhere around forty though.

When she asked about the photographers again, he shrugged. “Who knows?” he adjusted his grip on the bags to make sure he wouldn’t drop anything. “They’re pretty annoying though. My dad forbade them from trespassing on our property a long time ago, but they still stalk us from the outside. They’ve got these fancy cameras that can zoom in over a long distance, so we don’t have a lot of privacy if we want to go outside.” He casted her a joking smirk. “It’s not completely awful, I guess. Just means no skinny dipping in the pool.”

Leading her inside, he held the door open so she wouldn’t have to struggle too much with her crutches. The entry on the other side was already elaborate. A crystal chandelier hung over a decorative tile floor with expensive furnishings that lined either side. Even the most basic of rooms oozed money, but it was nothing compared to the rest of the mansion.

“It’s even better,” he said confidently when Iris talked about the home theater. Having seen the luxuries of the Maydestone house every day his entire life, he didn’t look twice at the space around them as he led her to the room that his father had chosen for her to live in while she stayed at their place. “My car is nice, but the theater was made to have the best quality showings you can get. You’re gonna love it.” Every room he led her through was even more richly decorated than the last, but he didn’t bother looking at it.

Eventually, he brought her to a long hallway that was lined with doors to the first-floor bedrooms. It was right underneath the level where his room was. “I like a lot of movies,” he mused, answering her question as he led her to the room on the end of the corridor. “I mostly watch action films, but I’d say I really like suspense and horror too. Anything that give me an adrenaline rush, you know?” Most of the time, the thrills he got from movies and TV were the only kind he could get. He’d meant it when he’d told her he led a boring life. In a way, watching exciting and scary shows filled a gap he was missing.

“It’s kind of ironic, since I don’t like gory stuff in real life,” he shrugged, thinking about how he’d reacted to her injured leg the day he’d found her. “But it’s different when I know it’s not real.”

When they reached the door to her room, he pushed it open to reveal a quaint bedroom. It was on the smaller side compared to the ones he and his father used, but it was still fairly large. The bedroom was set up with a full-size bed, a desk, a couple lounge chairs and a fireplace. Off to the side, a door led to the connecting bathroom. It was similar to his own with a glass-front shower and a tub with a TV built into the wall. Overall, the room would be more than enough space for one person.

“Here we are,” he said, stepping inside and turning back to her with a smile. “Better than the hospital, right?”

Thanks! I think so too ^^ I enjoy finding pictures to fit the world, so I'm glad you like them!

Also, let's say the bedroom in the Zillow ad is the one Iris is in! It's the cream-colored one with the bathtub by the window in the private bath

Cas grinned when Iris gasped and started gushing at the sight of the mansion. It was definitely a lot to take in. Most of the mansions in the capital were impressive, but none of them could compare to the royal family’s estate. They owned almost twenty acres of land, and the house itself took up about a whole one by itself. It was why he was sure they would have to wait for her leg to heal a little more before he could give her a tour of the entire place. He couldn’t wait though. He rarely had someone to share the luxury with, since he and his friends usually hung out at parties, and his father would never allow so many strangers on their property. They hadn’t thrown a party since before the rebellion had started years ago. These days, the only guests he saw were the king’s council members, Jay and Miles (when they did stop by), and the paparazzi who lurked around the edge of the premises.

“Don’t be,” he shook his head dismissively when she said she was sorry. “I’m excited too. It’ll be fun having someone else around besides just my dad and the servants.” Even though there were plenty of things to do in the mansion, it often felt empty to him, since he was usually alone when he was enjoying all it had to offer. He was eager to have some company around. Maybe they could even do some of the things he couldn’t by himself, like play billiards or tennis—when her leg was better, of course. And assuming she would be around that long, which he couldn’t say for sure. As much as he liked the thought of having her stay at his place, he was still hoping they would get a call from her family asking to send her home.

At her comment about the inside of the building, Cas chuckled. “It’s pretty amazing, but it’s also easy to get lost in when you don’t know your way around. I can show you how to get to a few rooms you’ll probably visit often, so you won’t have to ask for directions everywhere. If you need to though, just talk to one of the servants, and they’ll help you out.”

When she pointed out the photographers, he glanced out the window, spotting a man aiming his camera lens at the car. At her teasing words, he snorted. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure they take shifts camping out here because there are almost always paparazzi waiting to take pictures of something newsworthy.” Pulling up slowly to the gate, he waited for the security system to recognize his vehicle and then drove through when it opened for him. Now within the private grounds, they were safe from the reporters’ waiting cameras.

“Sounds like a peaceful afternoon,” he agreed when she said what she was looking forward to. “We can watch a movie if you want. We’ve actually got a home theater, so we don’t have to use any of the little TVs in the other rooms.” He smiled proudly. “The surround sound system is one of the best on the market. It feels like you’re actually in the movie.”

Pulling the car around to the garage, he parked it in the usual spot between four other luxury cars that his father owned and climbed out. There was a lot to carry, so he strung the shopping bags on his arms and collected the medicine he noticed she had put in the backseat. Once he had everything, he balanced it carefully while he picked up her crutches and leaned them against the side of the car, so he could help her out of the passenger seat. It was a lot to juggle, but he managed it.

“Alright,” he beamed at her excitedly. “Are you ready to see your room?”

I loved it ^^ I'll get started on my next post now

I know, they're amazing!! I think I was looking at other houses in California and a few different states for like an hour xD It was hard to pick which one I thought was the most fitting for the story, haha.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Right? xD I'm also an architecture nerd because I study a lot of it for my major, haha. It definitely doesn't help me speed up my process of looking for a house to use in any RP

Awesome! Can't wait ^^

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

The plans we've got for this RP are so exciting! cx

I finally got a post up too! Sorry it took a while. I always get lost in Zillow when I'm looking at houses I could never afford xD I found the perfect one for the Maydestone mansion though!
