Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, I just whipped up a paint thing. It should be self explanatory.
For record, the green blips in the main hall are paintings of each crew member, Crow being above the Brown one, which is a grandfather clock. the green circle is a large piece of green marble, as opposed to the standard white that the rest of the hall features. At the front, there is a large oriental silk rug.
Every room is decorated in standard Victorian theme, complete with cherry and oak doors, which are the ---I I--- 's that are placed around. the grey blips are fun fun secret passages.
More on the decor, natural earth tones are dominant, and a great deal of wood trim is on anything that is not already wood. Beds are large, carpets are plush and each room is fitted with it's own differing paintings and plants.
I suggest that something fun is hidden in the library and in the clock.
The secret room should be filled with either blackmail, stolen artwork, weaponry, bodies, or anything else that a proper noble should not have.
Servants are in rooms adjacent to the kitchen, which I Just realized I should have added on.
All of the sleeping quarters are up the stairs, and under there is a secret room to a basement, which could either just be filled with wine and food, common basement things, or more dirt/stolen items/weaponry/bodies.
The paintings might be significant, or just plain set the mood.
Themes that I suggest are famous battles, landscapes, flowers/nature, religious artwork, or simply famous artists. Either way, the specifics of the furnishings should match the theme set by the paintings, possibly differing with each room.

Off hand, I think of Resident Evil's Mansion. Similar usage of obscure passages and paintings and clocks, but no romping dead.

Also, if any of you have seen the movie "Clue" (great one, I might add.), the mansion is similarly set up in decor. That is a good way to think of the place.

In the line of paintings, I was thinking that we use what ever is posted in the art section along with famous works. Possibly some of Renoir, Monet or another impressionist for the lounge or study. Another choice would be the one of the French Revolution, with all of the people piling around and the shirtless woman with the flag.
The library might only have portraits, or no paintings at all.
Individual rooms... hmm... I would suggest landscapes.
Dinning room, I would go for a still life. One of the smears of food, wine with the lobster and pheasant. Something food related, or flowers.

If you are looking for the ACTUAL things for me to post, it might take a much longer time frame.

Sorry guys, but some things have popped up off line, and I need to take care of them. I'm going to be scarse for a few days. And, I'm not going to be able to work on the thingy, I haven't gotten much done because of that anyways.

I like the pics Crow.. we're going to have to find someone to look over the character listings and motives and such.. I wish I could do more but I have some new things that I'm trying to perfect and they absorb my time.

I think that would be a very interesting play, assuming you could pull it off the work the fact that Mrs. Peacock is only fifteen. That would be some damn fine satire.

Nice pictures, Crow. You seem to understand what I have difficulty articulating.

Gylian, if you are having difficulty getting characters figured out, I would be more than happy to help you with that, or just do them myself if you are that busy.

I'm going to begin creating the separate threads for all the rooms in the manor in the Events forum. I have the Art and Design department working on gathering pics of all the separate rooms.


Also in this RP are we to be playing as our Avis, or as some other characters? If this is to be an affiliate themed event we could indeed play this out as ourselves. Though it would be just as easy to play as other characters.
