(Lovely artwork by co-ower, sybex Shark.)


(Note: I know it’s a lot to read, but please take the time to read it anyways. I can almost guarantee you I took more time writing this than it will take you to read. If you just don’t have the time though, I did write a much smaller overview at the end. Only use that if you really have to… please… And I DO expect everyone to at least skim through the rest of the information on here, obviously unless it doesn’t apply to you. Stuff posted under jobs naturally isn’t needed information for someone who has no intention of getting a job here.)

At the end of a street in Barton town, nestled next to a compact 3 story building hides another similar in size, but a floor shorter. The first building proudly holds a sign reading “The White Kitsune” in red words, and its new partner carries a sign above its door reading “The Black Kitsune.” Sibling buildings built for pretty different purposes. The newer of the two buildings had been designed with intentions of more serious (but naturally still amusing) roleplaying while the “White” building has been and will be home of pure insanity.

The two building were nearly identical in design, at least on the upper floors. Both hosted a pair of large rooms fill with entertainment, a kitchen, the owner’s bedroom and a few other things on the first floor and rooms for rent on the second. The first room one enters when they walk through the front door of either building is nearly identical in content. The Black Kitsune hosts a large wooden stage next to a long bar with a door to the stairs leading to the top floor between them on the wall across from the entrance. On the side of the stage away from the bar is another door that leads into the other large room on the first floor. Behind the bar hides the door to the kitchen on the wall perpendicular to that that the stage is pressed against and further down on the wall is a pair of two more doors. Both are almost always locked, the first houses the door to part of the basement and the second leading into the owner’s bedroom. On the wall across from those two doors is another set, the first leading into the backyard and the second into the open section of the basement. The floor space in the large room is mostly covered by tables with chairs pressed up to them and an old worn out couch hiding in the corner near the door to the owner’s room. The second large room- which takes up most of the rest of the first floor- holds a wide variety of video games, a set of computers, large screen tvs, even a pin pall machine, and so forth.

There are two main parts to the basement of the Black Kitsune. Much isn’t said of what’s in the first, locked, section since only the owner and a few other people are permitted entrance by said odd owner, but she has made it clear there is probably a whole army’s worth of weaponry down there and some other miscellaneous storage. To protect the weaponry from being stolen, the owner’s pet dragon (not the giant breed, naturally) stays down there and is trained to kill anyone who gets down there without the owner’s permission. The second part is generally open to any one who has interest, though there isn’t much down there. There is a third entertainment room that has some more games and tables and such, basically a smaller room than the two upstairs that encompassed the essential aspects of the two rooms upstairs, minus the stage and with a smaller bar. (There was a small winding staircase in the corner of the kitchen allowing workers to serve both bars without loosing their minds too badly.) The purpose of this room was for any customers that has “issues” with the sun, so to say. And the only other thing down there of much interest was a large room off the side of the first room that was nearly completely empty. Its purpose was for any fights that wanted to break out, because the owner doesn’t have the time (or will) to clean blood off of everything whenever a fight got violent.

Out either of the doors leading outside from the main rooms on the first floor is a rather large stretch of green grass that leads up to a thickly wooded area. Almost all of the field was empty, except for a nice heated pool and hot tub near the building and the owner’s garden that was closer to the side of the Black Kitsune that her room was on.

The second floor of the Black Kitsune simply holds a number of rooms for people to claim and stay in.

Overview for lazy people: The first of two large rooms on the first floor has a number of doors leading out of it, a bar, a stage and tables set up around it. The second room is filled with electronics like video game systems and computers.

Part of the basement is open to customers and has a smaller ‘main’ room with a smaller collection of the things in the two rooms upstairs, as well as a bar, but with no stage. The other important room in the open section of the basement is a large empty room for fighting.

The backyard is large and empty except for a heat pool and hot tub, and a garden.

The second floor hosts rooms for people to stay in.

We have 28 rooms, all with a specific theme or some such thing. Though any room can be remodeled if someone wants it to be, just pm Aylia and ask her. She may ask you to write up your own description to be posted, though. The rooms are lined up so the odds are across from the evens which on the right side of the hallway when you walk up the stairs. So, for example, the first room on your right is room 2, and the one across from it is room 3. (Room 1 is the owner Aylia’s room and on the first floor.) Every room has a personal bathroom attached. To get a room, just pm Aylia.

Very Basic Room Descriptions- (Almost all of these were written by sybex Shark, so blame her if anything's really weird.)

1. Aylia's room. I don't know what's in there. Probably a bed, anime DVDs stacked to the ceiling, dead bodies...
2. My room! Mine! All mine! (Shark's)
3. A steel-walled room. It is completely sound proof for those of you who like silence...well, or making a lot of noise. Anyways, there are no windows and very limited furniture.
4. This room was built for a fighter. Strong wood on the walls for accidental blows and dummies of all sorts are in the room for fighting. There are mats rolled up against the wall incase you want to spar in the room and miscellaneous hangers and cases are lined up against the walls for weapons.
5. The country room. That is, a bedroom you'd find a country home, not like a room dedicated to country music. There are two small lamps that provide artificial light, but the window provides plenty of natural light. The furniture is all wood, some barely more than nailed-together logs. The bed is covered with a hand-made quilt.
6. The vampiric bedroom. It's fit for a vampire... or their victim. The color palette is red and black. The main material in the room is high thread-count silk and satin. Heavy drapes cover the window. There is distinct lack of technology, no lighting but for candles. An old copy of The Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe sits on the bedside table.
7. The walls are sloppily painted black and white. There are shrines to System of a Down and Slipknot on opposite sides of the room. There are beer cans, air pistols, darts and video game discs all over the floor, sometimes you can even find Kai on the floor!
8. An artists room, definitely. It is full of art supplies and along one wall are a couple of easles and big boxes of nice white paper. The walls are also sound-proof.
9. The dark room. No windows, and so dark you could develop pictures in it. There's a lightswitch in there somewhere. There are many long tables and hangers about; try to not run into them. There's a comfy but simple bed among the tables.
10. The cheap motel room. Sagging bed, roaches, not a place you'd want to stay for long, but is withstandable for, oh, three hours. This is the room meant in the old saying, "Get a room." Winkwinknudgenudge.
11. The rainbow room. Rainbow colors! Carebears! And... and you can just let your mind make up the rest.
12. The modern room. The look is streamlined. The walls are white. The floor gleams. The furniture bends in unimaginable ways into unimaginable shapes. The paintings are abstract. It's... well, quite frankly uncomfortable. Might get a crick in your neck sitting in the desk chair, but golly, it's pretty!
13. The romantic room. Whether you plan on having a "roommate" or rather, a "room mate," this room is quite gorgeous. The fabrics are all very soft and silky. The room is decorated mostly in red, but it doesn't overpower you. The lighting is very soft. There's even a balcony.
14. The trompe l'oeil room. Oh, it looks so big! But it's really quite small. The beautiful mural fools your eye into thinking it's larger. The style is greek-inspired, which continues into the mural. This room comes with a one-size-fits-all toga.
15. The Japanese-inspired room. Tatamis lay on the floor. The tables are short. The bed, a futon, is folded up in the closet. It is a tradition Japanese room, not a modern one, so remember: remove your shoes on entrance.
16. The Mural Room- A room filled with art. The mural covering the four walls and walls of a little niche in the corner is of an old, abandoned church and a lush garden during sunrise. There is a long window with a wonderful sky view. There's art supplies for painters.
17. The Ice Room- Do you tend to overheat easily? Wake up at night feeling like you've got a fever? Just have a heart of ice and like the room to go along with your feelings? Well, this would be the room for you. The room is full of cool blues, whites, and greys. There's a huge fridge with more popcicles and ice in it than one can imagine.
18. The tropical room. An kiddy mural of a rainforest covers two walls, the other two walls being plain green. Souveneirs line the walls. The bed has a thatched straw canopy and mosquito net. Not that you'll have to worry about mosquitoes or anything.
19. The Old World room. This room is very rich, and will make you feel nice and warm and comfy. The colors are browns and muted greens, with some creams thrown in. The furniture is floral patterned and made of dark wood. There is, of course, a functioning fireplace with plenty of wood beside it. It looks a bit old, but not the icky old people smell kind of old.
20. The medival room. There is a suit of armor in one corner. It's a tad old and dusty, kind of musty, but comfortable nonetheless. It's mostly wood and stoned, softened only by the slightly worn furniture and ornate red rug that covers most of the floor.
21. The Absolutely Adorable Kitten Room- Inhabited by three cats of varying ages, Miles (kitten), Samantha (five), and Gilbert (ten). Cat-friendly. Lots of comfy, warm furniture. Lots of pictures of cute, fluffy animals. There's a stockpile of catfood and toys. The human who lives in this room will be considered another piece of (particularly warm, squishy) furniture.
22. The empty room. Hard-wood floors and eggshell white walls. That's it. Decorate as you like.
23. The computer geek room. Lots of computers and computer paraphenalia is littered, some on tables and some sitting on the floor. There are multiple outlets for all the electronics. There's a mattress to sleep on shoved in one corner, somewhere.
24. The training room, version one. For the purpose of practicing hand-to-hand combat, or self-defense. Stocked with everything you need for the sort.
25. The training room, version two. For the purpose of practicing with weaponry. A small arsenal, SMALL, resides here, consisting of knives, guns, throwing stars, etc. The walls are impenetrable. There's also ear protectors.
26. The containment room. This is where you stay when you know you've had too much of something to be trusted around other people, or even around yourself. Comes with straight-jacket.
27. The animal-friendly room. It is already inhabitied by three cats: Laura, a kitten, Jackel, one and a half years old, and Gilly, seven years old. The cats may not be removed from the pub under any circumstances. The room is animal-friendly. The furniture is resilient against gnawing, the floor is linoleum for easy cleaning, and so on.
28. The sun room. A window stretches from wall to wall, providing a wonderful view of the woods and a flood of light. Everything in this room faces the window. There are two small table lamps, providing only enough light to read at night. The colors of this room are yellowish cream with pastel orange, reds, and pinks as accent colors.

***Note! Yes, a lot of this information through all of this is very similar/copied from the White Kitsune. Don’t ask why… I think I’m just too lazy to totally re-write everything and come up with all new details when there really is no reason to since they’re sibling buildings owned by the same person. And yes, I wiped all of the stales clean, so all the jobs, rooms and whatever are open. Again, don’t ask why. I forgot that reasoning between Word closing on me and my cat trying to turn my computer off… three times in a row.

***Another note: Aylia hopes to replace the graphics today with new ones, but she can't promise anything.

1) Please try your hardest to keep fights in the room designed for that. Or be prepared to replace anything broken, clean the room, and deal with Aylia’s wrath (Or whoever she sicks on you…).


2) Please keep it PG13. (It is a Commerce rule, after all)

3) Owner Aylia and Co-owner bex reserve the right to use our magical “owner” and “co-owner” powers whenever we need to, as long as it doesn’t involve god-modeing. (I hate god-moders…) Just listen to what we tell you and things will be fine. (Not exactly a rue, oh well…)

4) Obviously, do not god play!

5) Pets are allowed and welcome!

6) No spamming!! Being random is fine, but keep in mind, this establishment is meant for roleplaying. I can even deal with bumps, but please, please try as hard as you can to post instead of bump. If I see anyone bumping too much, I’ll comment.

7) No advertising for other places. Remember, roleplaying pub!

8 ) And of course, follow all the basic rules of Gaia.

9) This isn’t a rule so to say, but I will probably correct you if you’re not doing this. The Black Kitsune was created as a ROLEPLAYING pub. (Hint hint, wink wink.) If you just want to chat more than roleplay or something, then just go to the White Kitsune. Thanks. Please, please, please NO n00b/chat speak stuff. Aylia really can't stand that stuff.

10) This, again, isn't a rule, but more of a warning. You might be turned down for a job/room if you don't at least read the stuff that applies to that particular want and the lazy person's over view. Really, it doesn't take that much effort.

These do NOT pay! I am sorry, but at least for now, they do not pay. If I ever get really active workers, I might start paying them, but seeing as how I’ve never really had an active worker for very long, I’m not sure if that idea will float or not... Anyone can have more than one job here and work elsewhere too if you want, but please do come by sometimes. Please pm ME (Aylia) if you want a job. Jobs are not limited to these, just pm me if you have another idea!

I’m essentially always hiring, especially considering workers seem to get inactive quickly.

Warning- If you do not post for a long time, you may just lose your job. I have tried pming inactive workers and such, but it just gets too hard for me person to handle between everything else I have on my plate. Sorry, but unless I can figure out something easier to do, inactivity will most likely just result in a lost job. Though I am considering attempting pming inactive workers again, at least the first time I feel it’s time to purge the worker list of inactive people. (If you get fired and come back and give me a good reason, or if I'm in a good mood, you'll most likely get your job back.)

How to RP- The list!
(Compiled by punkyturtle425, Aylia, and Sybex Shark)

Before we get started, Aylia's gonna throw a note in here. I added this old thing bex-kun and I threw together a looong time ago, because this is a thread for rping. I don't require you to read it, but I've roleplayed for a long time and I've still read it a few times. bex-kun did a wonderful job making it amusing (at least I find it funny...). And it really doesn't take long to read, I just re-read it to make sure it was still relatively up to date and it couldn't have even taken 5 minutes and I'm a slow reader (and it's 1:30 in the morning). Anyways. Yeah, I stand by essentially everything in this list greatly, except I view the last point as kind of a warning. Some people really don't like being hit on, other times it might be realively appropriate in a roleplay. *Shrug* You're on your own for that one. Yeah, so none of this is rules or anything, but please try to roleplay with some decency while you're here. Aylia's sanity can't take much n00b talk and the what-not. And, lastly, a big thanks to bex-kun for actually writing all of our ideas together in form of this spiffy list!


1. Complete sentences are good. Always. If you want to cut something in your actions short, like so

:: walks into the pub and sits down ::

fine. That's fine, as long as people can understand you, but at least make sure you speak coherently.

2. ((So are OOC bubbles- bubbles that indicate when you’re talking in real life (ick) instead of RPing. )) <-- These things.

3. Stay on topic, or storyline, more like. The same reason for this is the same as the reason for staying on topic in ED (or any other board, but speaking from experience.) It’s just one of those rude things… it’s like taking over another person’s board. Most people came to the RP to role-play, so role-play!

(Note- The people who are not "Most" are the people who are off topic/storyline, so try to stay in the “Most” category, okay?)

4. Make it so people can tell what you're actions are and what your speech is. You can type your actions and use something else to dictate what your speech is, like so:

Kitty walks into the the bar. She pulls up a chair. She turns to the person next to her and starts a conversation.
"Hey, can I buy you a beer?"

Or, you can type your speech and use something else to dictate your actions, like so:

*Kitty walks into the bar. She pulls up a chair. She turns to the person next to her and starts a conversation.*
Hey, can I buy you a beer?

Other things you can use to dictate what is what are-
^, ~, /, , ::, and [ ]

5. Be descriptive of your character's appearence and personality when joining a RP. Write a paragraph for each of them, maybe a little more for personality, whichever you find more expressive. Assume other RPers don't know a single thing about your character, and then explain your character thoroughly!

(However, it is not suggested you take an entire page. Try small paragraphs, the ones your teacher used to say were actual paragraphs, which should be about 3-5 complete sentences. Otherwise you might... annoy extremely... the RP creator and everyone else.)

6. Don't be a total jerk, unless that's your character.

7. n00bs and their talk will be burned alive. Seriously, it's just plain annoying and rude.

8. Always read the first post. Actually, read some of the actual RP itself, so you can understand what's going on. It'll help.

(If you still can't figure it out, post that your character is wandering and wait for someone to approach you. That's what Sybex does... wait, shouldn't have written that...)

9. Follow all the basic rules of Gaia, like keeping things PG-13... generally... and any rules laid out, set down, etc. by the creator of the RP.

10. Only bump if the creator of the RP requests/allows it. It really annoys some people.

11. No god playing, unless your playing a god as stated by the creator, of course.

God playing v.1 (not okay)-
I stab everyone in the room and they die.
OR
My leg heals and I kick Kitty's head off with a simple swish.

God playing v.2 (okay)-
Zelpha looks down from the sky, upon her chosens. She studies them, hoping they will survive their fight, wishing she could do something to help.

12. Stay the heck away from emoticons. The general idea of RPing is not chatting, it's like writing a story with other people. Also, it is easier to understand why someone is angry when they write it in words. Here is an example. You decide which is easier to understand.

scream gonk

Kitty wants to scream at him, that he's an idiot. She can't though, and the tears well in her eyes and her throat starts to ache.

13. Reply to people. Tell who the person you are talking to is. Acknowledge them in some form, at least. If you post out in the open, no one will know who you are talking to.

Example- Kitty attacks with her dagger.

Who the heck is Kitty attacking?

Improved Example- Kitty attacks Zelpha with her dagger.

14. Don't make decisions for other characters (this is similar to god-playing.) Move only your character. This would be moving someone else's character-

Kitty attacks Zelpha with her dagger and watches Zelpha fall to the ground, dead. She laughs.

This is a better way. Split the sentences, yep.

Kitty attacks Zelpha with her dagger.

You could also have Zelpha fall to the ground, but preferably not.

15. Always use as much detail as possible. It's more interesting and decreases the chance of someone getting very confused.

Okay- *Kitty walks into the bar and walks up to the bartender.* Can you get me a drink? *Her voice is quiet amongst the yells.*

More Okay- *Kitty enters the bar, trying to not make eye contact with any of the drunken regulars. The walls of the bar are wooden and the ceiling is cracked. The whole bar is messy and some interesting smells are wafting around from one of the corners. Kitty walks up to the fat, frightening bartender.* Can you get me a drink? *Her voice sounds like a mouse's squeek amongst the yells of the drunken men.*

16. Don't hit on people. Not even if they're the first hot girl/boy you see. It doesn't matter. You will get your head shoved through a wall for being a perv.

(That is a tad exaggerated, but that isn't to say that it isn't justified.)

*Aylia- leaning against the bar- started laughing when someone other than bex-kun got the first post.*
She might try to kill you, so watch out. I'll sign you up for security right now.
* Yulea walks in and jumps on the comfy couch.* "Man its good to be home. A yo A... when do I entertain?" *Yulea asked streaching out on the couch... She was tired and could fall asleep right there right now if needed.* "Hey boss. What room am I in... I need sleep if I am to work tomarrow." *Yulea said as she sat up... She was almost falling asleep here... To much Sake... way to much.. But it had drowned out her bad day.*
(A Great Disembodied Voice says: Hey, Aylia, you might want to change "Bex's cage" and "Kai's room" in the room descriptions... if you want to keep RPing today...)

Shark emerges from the kitchen with dishwater hands and messily pulled-back hair. She stands just outside the heavy metal door and announces, "Kitchen's up to health code regulations. People can order now with no worries of unintentional food poisoning."

Shark blinks a few times at Aylia and... well, she didn't know his name.

"Please say you're not giving him access to the basement. If so, God save us all."
He walks over to her and bows so deep her kisses her boots. "Thank you miss." He straightens and smiles. "Your wish is my command." He winks and walks to a table, licking his teeth as the enlarged.

"So kewl!"

(Aylia knows... Aylia knows... She just... didn't get around to that. Or some lame excuse like that. She has a lot of fixing to do once people are in bed and she's being a stubborn self-induced insomniac.)

*Aylia looked over at bex-kun in surprise.*
It actually is? Wow. I had a feeling that place was going to be seeping poisons or something. Wait... not a good thing for the owner to say, huh? And, no... I don't think I'm going to let him into the basement. I'll wait and see. how that goes later.
Shark nods a few times to Aylia. "I do not let my workshop seep poison unless I want it too. I mean, hey, every great chef has to start somewhere." She grins and twirls a butcher knife in her hand.

Alright, that's good to hear. But that butcher knife in your hand is not a comforting sight...
*Aylia glanced at bex-kun for a moment. Good thing she was immortal and had magical owner of the establishment powers here.*
