 A small building shrowded in mystery. It was placed in the plains of undeveloped Europe, escaping the expansion of modern buildings and poluted skies. Here it is not only a refuge for those escaping the dangers of the city, but for the creatures that wish to flee from the growing human population. But below this sactuary's facade there is something much larger. It is the portal to another world called the Underworld. The erection of this building caused rumors to spread of a Prince Vampire from another world and the gate that he created in order to grow his Kingdom into the world of Gaia as well as his precious Underworld.
The building now has somehow been relocated in these islands. Now being the property of Vince Valentine, it allows both masters and slaves to enter as they like. The nameless workers here are simply drones, having been given work by Vince himself. Nothing more than dolls.
Can this Prince be trusted?
Who will join him and who will go against him?

  Overall LayoutSince this place is just starting out there is a bar with several tables and booths. About ten rooms are upstairs and you must ask for a key from one of the employees. Just outside is where the more violent people will settle their disputes; if anyone destroys any furniture or anything inside the building they will get their a** kicked by Lawrence.
The bar has minimal seating but some of the best wines and beverages. With the red wines pumped right after opening and set up on a rack as the white wines are refrigerated in the refrigerators below the bar, one would only receive the best wine. Other beverages can be prepared upon request. The walls are made of stained and treated wood and leather. Over the bar lights hang so you can see what you are eating or drinking. A cupboard near the wine racks on the wall holds all the cups and wine glasses. The floor is a mosaic tile, easy to clean when there’s a spill. The seating booths and the tables are usually right below a light, the floor they rest on being hardwood flooring. The seats are made of good cloth and the table has a copper tone tablecloth draped over it. The walls in the dining areas are only stained and treated.

NPCs: These characters will pop up once in a while to have a chat or even form relationships. If you see them be sure to say hello. Christophe
Christophe is the head servant of Vince's mansion. Although at first he seems a bit awkward he is actually very caring and kind. Usually he can be seen helping around the kitchen or waiting on Vince. He is very loyal to Vince and even though Vince allowed him to move on to the royal courts he denied the offer, wanting to stay close to Vince and to serve him. He has a snake tattoo below his right eye, meaning that Vince has already taken his virginity. He doesn't seem to mind much, but he can be somewhat uncomfortable when new servants come in.
>>Spoiler<<
Christophe is actually in love with Vince and only let him mark him because he thought Vince felt the same for him. Upon relaizing the hard truth he did his best to be strong but it still phases him that he isn't the one for Vince. Nonetheless he does his best to make Vince happy. Christophe doesn't know about what happened between Vince and his brother, Harle. The older of Christophe. He will usually be seen wandering the gardens, tending to the roses. He dislikes the snakes in the trenches and despite his love for roses he will never go near the trenches, even in Spring and Summer. During the Winter he will spend more of his time in the library. He was owned first by Judith Moonglow, Vince's father. He used to be the top servant but quickly resigned after Judith died. Knowing Vince was the murderer of Judith he let it be, knowing that Judith truely did love his son. However, since the first night of Vince's reign, he tries his best to steer clear of Vince. He doesn't protest against his little brothers love for Vince but if Vince were ever to hurt Christophe, he would be quick to react.
>>Spoiler<<
On the first night of Vince's reign, Vince forced Harle to have sex with him. After giving in, Harle felt he had wronged both Judith and Vince. Since then he's felt as if he were a bad person and is still dealing with the shock. That is the reason he tries to stay away from Vince, even though Vince by now has grown up. No one is really sure who Verdii is except for Vince. Verdii is the snake breeder and lives in the dungeons, taking care of the many snakes. Verdii has a very high libido and is often known for dragging off some of the younger slaves and raping them. He loves it when Vince beats his claves, finding it excites him alot. Usually if he's not in the dungeons he's in the chorus room. Despite his strange behavior, he still hangs on to a thin string of Christianity. Viscious is one of Vince's servants. He has a snake tattoo under his right eye and is usually seen smiling, watching people from the trees. He loves almost any good looking male and stops at nothing to get what he wants. He has his own chambers in the mansion dungeons where he keeps all of his 'toys' and often sleeps. You can usually find him in either the kitchen or the old armory. He has a small soft spot for Christophe but is sexually attracted to Vince. Viscious has become somewhat annoyed with Vince since the master wont spend that much time with him. Though he usually hides his displeasure he is very emotional, often getting very jealous when he sees Vince with new servants.
>>Spoiler<<
Viscious is actually the first slave that Vince bought. Christophe came right after him and even though he's older than Christophe, he looks up to the other servant. Though he may seem to hate Vince sometimes he loves him like a father and dislikes the fact that Vince can't see how much he means to Christophe. Lady Spider is the thread mistress. She is in charge of creating ornate dresses and clothing for the residents of the Valentine Mansion. She can usually be found in the garden or sitting in the middle of the reflecting pool. When she walks its as if she's floating. Lady Spider is mute and never speaks. The only time she may speak is if shes at the royal court. She doesn't have any tattoos, meaning she is somehow related to Judith and therefore to Vince. She is very kind despite her cold look and will often pick water lilies and lotus flowers for the people she admires.
>>Spoilers<<
Lady Spiders name is actually December. She isn't human, but a doll with the soul of Lady Nicoles daughter. Lady Nicole is a noblewoman at the royal court and a good friend of Vince's father. Though, Vince dislikes her because she's too motherly. Lady Spider helps control the water that seems to seep from the ground during the fall.

(Bah. Le screw it.)
The mistress looked up with a please smile brightening her expression, head tilted so far back that she almost stumbled back a couple of steps, and chuckled listlessly to herself. Another establishment. Hopefully it would prove to be more entertaining that the previous bar. Though things had turned out interesting enough in the end, the foolishness of the would be lovers and the actions they took left Yreva frustrated. This kind of frustration was not something she took lightly, her aggitation more apparent by her lack of her usual smile, but this place... Maybe it could provide haven.
"Excuse me..." she murmered rather softly as she took one slow step into the establishment, her eyes looking this way and that to ensure she wasn't intruding on anything she wished not to be a part of. "Hello?"

From the counter a young man looked up, perhaps around the age of his early twenties. A moon tattoo was below his right eye and as he noted to hismelf that the woman was perhaps a customer he put his hand to his mouth and went over. "I'm sorry. Ah, may I help you in any way, madamoiselle?"
French. It was amazing how French could sound so strange when he said it. His name was Harle and he was the servant of Judith Moonnglow, his ownership passed on to Vince Valentine, though Harle would never go near the silver haired man...

"Ah, yes!" she barked victoriousily before she gave a quick clap of her hands in sheer releif that she wasn't mauled by drueling fanatics that clung to her like static-charged lint from the dryer. "Oh.... Ahem. Yes. I am seeking haven from the foolish ways of man and the self-destructive path they so willing follow as blinded by their own greed." She chuckled softly to herself before she made a slight bow of her head. "I am called Yreva. I simply wish for solice and a drink... or two."

"Ah... Alright. What drink would you like then? I'm still unfamiliar with the names, but you can select any drink from the menu or any alcoholic beverage.... Lord Vince just opened this place up. I'm still a bit jittery since I'm used to libraries. Forgive me." He laughed a bit and looked to the side, unsure of himself. Of course, most of his life was spent with Judith so now he was still a bit unsure of his current situation. Vince had ordered him to take care of this place so he would... at least for now.

"Ah, you're doing fine," she replied as she sauntered, yes sauntered, over to a smaller table with chairs at either side and removed her coat to fold it over the back of the one closest to her. "Besides, I'm easy. It's not an occasion to drink wine and I'm craving some rather fruity. Do you have any cranberry juice and some fresh polmegrantes by chance?"
She slowly sat sidesaddle on the chair so she faced him, rather than the table, as she draped her right arm over the back of the chair and the left on the table as her ankles crossed. At first glance, the position would seem ackward, but she soon stretched herself out until a resounding 'pop' sounded from her back. "Ah... that's much better," she laughed. "I love libraries, to an extent. So much to do... But... Erm, who's Vince?"
