			            "Welcome weary travelers... feel free to take your rest..."
  The wind lashes the trees overhead, and rain drives down upon you like hundreds of icy-cold needles.  Thunder cracks and booms overhead while lightning flashes suddenly, flaring and lighting up all surroundings.  
  There!   A manor sitting on a cliff up ahead!  The winding road leading to it is steep and rocky, but surely you can make it with a little bit of perserverence. 
  You reach the manor, noting through your haze of tiredness that it is awfully run down.  It appears that it may topple into the forest below the cliff at the first strong gust of wind, but somehow it holds, clinging tenaciously to life on the edge of the steep drop.  Perhaps no one has lived here in years?  It certainly looks that way...  but it will offer welcome shelter from the storm,  and welcome sanctuary from those wolves you hear howling in the distance...
  Upon reaching the door, you push it open to find a dingy hallway with dusty black marble floors.  A grand double staircase sweeps on either side of the room, and your eyes follow a threadbare, moth-eaten carpet to a throne that sits between them, and the man seated upon that throne.
  "Welcome."  He says, leaning on his fist, legs crossed negligently.  "I am Cyril, master of Bernard manor.  My humble abode has many rooms... pick that which you like..."

			            Rules for your stay at Bernard Manor.  Be welcome.  Notice that if I find you breaking these rules, you will be cast back out into the cold and dark, and blacklisted.
  1.  Follow all Gaia ToS and House of Roleplay Rules.  I'm a stickler for these things, so be warned!
  2.  Please, please try to use proper spelling and grammar.  I'm not going to force you to, but please give it good thought.  
  3.  Attempt to give other roleplayers a chance to shine.  Please do not godmod.  I will, on occasion, godmod to steer the story arc back on track, so be warned. 
  4.  All types of beings are allowed here, be they human, ghost, angel, demon... elf... vampire... no matter what they are, they may stay here.
  5.  I forgot what this rule was, but I'm sure I'll remember in a moment.
  Warning! The rules change as I see fit!

			            NEWS!!! July 28, 2009-  Oh my gosh guys, I am so sorry for being gone for so long.  I really hope I can get this thing up and running again!  D: 
 
  Storyline/Event List! : D
  Alright, so I got the results of the polls back, and it turns out that you guys apparently want storylines!  So, I'll make a list of those I plan to do... and I would also like it if you  PM'd me with a request for a story centered on your own character! 
  So far I am planning...  
  Events
  Current:
  Abby and Steph's introduction into vampire high society.  
  Future: Cyril's Lost Love -  Only to be done if certain secret requirements are met by one of the players. The Second Richard - Only to be done if certain secret requirements are met by one of the players.
  I'd love to do some events/storylines centered on your characters as well, so again, don't be shy!

			            Finally! How to join!  Bet you were tired of reading all that other stuff...
  Anyways!   I'm rather strange when it comes to admitting new players (I dislike the character skeleton forms), so if you would just... Tell me your Username and Character name, then have a short introduction.
  Easy, no?

			            Cyril stalked slowly and deliberately towards her, blond hair glistening dully in the faint light of the candle holders scattered about the room.  He stopped just within arm's reach and gave a slight bow.
  He inclined his head gracefully.  "If you would follow me, then you may have your pick of rooms... except for the tower.  You may not go up there."
