The Ice Palace {Private, ask to join.}

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

The Ice Palace sits atop the Frozen Mountain, the foundation resting upon the ice foundation which is rooted deeply within the mountain so that there is no fear or worry of the ice melting or building ever tumbling down...

Outside/Front Gate: From the Front Gates there is a large curved pathway that splits to allow entrance on both the right, and left. Made for smooth entry for cars, coaches, or whatever mode of transportation. There are small gardens on each side of the pathway and a large circle enclosing blue flowers of all sorts in the middle of the large circle driveway. The grass appears to have a slight blue tinge to it, the Lord likes to keep his lawn blooming at all times and seasons.

First Floor:
Past the large inate and intricately designed Front Doors you see a large Staircase that splits in two and goes up from the left and right side. At the very middle of the stairs are two more Double Doors (picture is from the inside looking out) that have the words Main Office on them if only to give off the air of proffesionalism.

On the left are rooms from front to back: first the Sitting Room where guests are taken to wait while The Lord of the Mannor is informed. The Drawing Room which is basically a general open room for gathering or general conversations. The Conservatory which is a type of greenhouse room, only more comfortable and are plants can grown around the room. Private meals are also served here for special guests or the Lord of the Mannor himself.
Under the staircase there are two sides in front of the statue (kinda hard to see in the picture)where there are large janitorial looking closets. Left side has cleaning supplies and all that are needed to clean with. Right side has towels, hand towels, cleaning rags and so on. Also spare uniforms.
On the right side from front to back also: The Game Room which consists of billiards or pool, a large collection of board, card and dice games as well as a few video game consoles which are not seen. You'd be surprised how small the room's appear on the outside looking in, but once inside they are enormous.
The Dining Hall. The dining hall will often change decorations for the seasons so the picture will not always be the same.
And connected to the Dinning Hall is the Main Kitchen where there is always some form of cooking. The Kitchen is open, all times day and night.
There is a separate Smaller Kitchen made to prepare Lord Blaze's special (often Frozen) Meals.
And behind the small kitchen is the indoor small greenhouse for herbs and spices to be used with the main dishes.
Also on each side behind the stairs are two doors, one on each side. They are other guest rooms with full bathrooms.
Right side and Left side

Second Floor:
The main office in the middle of the stairways is now noticeable since the right door is slightly ajar, but we'll get to that later.
From Back to front (side closest to the office doors then further back)
On the left are the Male Staff/Servants rooms, not enormous as the downstairs rooms but just enough space so that each has a bed, a dresser or armoire (stand up double door dresser) and night stand.(not shown in the picture) At the front which is all the way back, is the mens washroom. The showers are behind the glass walls. It is basically like a locker room shower only with more stalls, a few tubs to soak the soreness out and more...well you know. There is often a sea breeze or arctic chill smell wafting through the washroom since those are the only scents the guys seemed to like.

On the right is the Female Staff/Servants Rooms, same as the males but only with that feminine touch. The Washrooms is more ornate and always scented depending on whose turn it is to pick scents. The bathroom stalls are behind the perfume stand. Each room has enough space for a bed, armoire or dresser of choice and a nightstand as well.

Now back to the main office! Once you enter you see a main desk ornate and made of blue marble. This is the head Administrative Assitant's Desk. Once behind that little wall there are many more desks for those who chose to work behind them. Basically paperwork and accounting, some menial busy work, some mandatory. But behind the three rows of four desks each (two on each side of the aisle) is the Lord's study where he signs and approves all work done for the day and goes every weekend to look over said paperwork done.

In that office which looks more like a library study than any normal office there is a door leading to his personal rooms. (door not shown, Lord's desk not shown.) There is the private dining room with a small four person table for guests. On the left side is the bathroom with a jacuzzi, walk in shower. On the right of the private dining room is Lord Crovax's Bed/bedroom. The bed is usually drapped in large canaopy covers during the night. The bathroom entrance is not shown. The bed sheets and covers are often changed for the seasons. There is a balcony at each end, one for the bathroom which is blue tiled and one for the bedroom, each leading to the backyard. Which is where the stables and garage(s) are for the Stagecoach/Carriage, and cars. There are a few empty garage spaces for visitors as well.

BACK YARD:
Besides the stables for the horses and the garage for the stagecoach, there is one horse driven and one with an engine.
And even further past the driveways for the garage and stable areas is the pool complete with large poolhouse and bar. The pool house includes a few bathrooms and three guest bedrooms, however those sent to the poolhouse are sent for punishment and those that return have been greatly changed as said bedrooms are more used for torture chambers.

just waiting on thelovelessbutterfly to repost when she gets the chance  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

following behind her new master trying desperately to contain her joy at having a new master she even found herself looking up at him with a tiny smile. then suddenly the outside of the giant palace loomed before her, intimidating as it was beautiful, she found herself letting out an unconcious croon of anticipation. looking over at her master with leash in hand she tilts her shining eyes at him, wondering at such majesty.  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

Turns his head ever so slightly when she begins to make noise.
"Quiet, no speaking unless spoken to outside of the palace." His voice stern and unwavering as his hand tightened around the leash, yanking rather roughly to pull her up asd he began to walk rather quickly to get inside and past the threshold.
This was his home and suffice it to say he could not be away from it for long without suffering a consequence or two. One of them was near unbearable heat after a day from the property.  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

she follows behind, lengthening her stride in order to keep with her master's quickened pace. biting her lips closed to ensure no sound could escape, not that she would dare an utterance if it should displease her master. all the same better to be sure... walking acrossthe threshhold she allowed herself a quick glance around, continuing to follow at the set pace, undistracted for fear of causeing her master displeasure.  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

He did not stop, not when taking the stairs on the right side, and not stopping until he reached the second to last door at the end of the hall. The door was slightly open. Lord Crovax removed the leash as he looked her in the eyes.
"You may speak now, but know this. When ever I speak to you I expect a 'Yes, Lord Crovax' or 'No Lord Crovax'. You will always answer with my name. Do you understand?" He moved to push the door open, still keeping his gaze locked with her, and would hold her chin up if she tried to look away.
"This will be your room for now. The closer you are to my office the more you are trusted. Until then, you will stay here. The staff may wake you up early do not leave your room until I come for you in the morning." He pointed out where the showers were and left to retire to his room for the evening.
There was a tray of food under a cover on the bed in case she was hungry. Beyond that new clothes would be issued tomorrow.


((I'm sorry I've forgotten your character's name. Its been a hectic day for me.))  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

"yes Lord Crovax" she wispered aloud to herself testing the feel of if and finding it pleasing. finding the tray of food on the bed she ate one of the dinner rolls and having a shruken stomach from having not eaten in awhile was quickly full. setting the tray on the bedside table she opted for a shower in the morning and fell quickly to sleep on the luxuriant bed.  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

((and my character forgot her name, like i said my first master called me loveless, my second master called me little one, feel free to name me whatever you please!))  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

She would remain in her room until two hours after sunrise, time enough for the other staff and pets to have used the showers and gone on to their daily tasks. There was a knock upon the door before Lord Crovax entered. He'd already showered and dressed for the day, chosing to not wear his mask today as his hair was still damp from the shower. He wore his royal blue robes today, so that he appeared to be in some odd long men's nightgown, when it was in fact just causual clothing for him at times.

If she was asleep he would awaken her, removing one gloved hand to lay what felt like frozen fingers upon her neck. Should that fail he would yank the sheets off with a loud "Get up!"
"Get up and get to the showers!" There would be no worry of her food going bad as it was mostly bread, and fresh vegetables that could last in room temperature. He saw how little she ate and wondered if she was either starving herself or honestly couldn't eat more than what she had.
In his mind he kept wanting to name her, and now it would have to be based upon her actions or personality.  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

"yes Lord Crovax" she said, quickly she got out of the bed pauseing for only a second, long enough to give her legs a quick little strech before standing. she always tried to take care of her legs as they were long and elegant pleasing both of her former masters. she couldnt help but wonder what way she would find to make her new master happy? she wanted to make him happy so bad so she quickly rushed to the ajoining bathroom and not thinking to close the door began to strip. upon removing the long glove sleeves she revealed a lacework of scars both old and new. while her former masters hadnt wanted to scar her lovely legs her arms had been another matter. taking her boots off took a moment or two because the many buckles lining it could sometimes be hard to get off. once she had stripped herself completely she quickly headed around behind the perfume stand and found a shower stall with soap and other amenities already at hand. quickly she began to scrub the layer of dirt collected inside her cage from her skin, shampooing her hair, running her fingers through it carefully bringing out the pure white color before condidtioning it for softness and shine. after all, she wanted to look as best as she could for her new master!  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

The bathrooms, or rather the "community bathrooms" didn't have an actual door but an entry way where around the corner were the actual showers and stalls. Lord Crovax was far from that perverted however he did follow her to the women's washroom.
When she was done, there were towels waiting on the rack for her to use. There were always supplies ready at hand for the night crew and day staff made sure to keep things well stocked, that was a lesson everyone learned. He could hear the water running while waiting with the utmost patience, keeping an eye out as the two ready staff members for the day had come in and made up her bed and fresh new clothing for her.
Lord Crovax wasn't at the doorway yet back and to the side, as far from it as possible yet still close so that she'd know he'd been waiting.  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

finishing her shower she quickly looked about to find the towels waiting on a rack, grabbing two she used one to wrap her hair in a turban to help it dry and used the other to quickly towel herself down. wrapping the towel about herself she went back to the entry to find her master waiting, "Lord Crovax" she wispered wondering what she should do next, as she got down on her knees before him.  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

Visibly rolled his eyes while secretly enjoying her on her knees.
"Go change into clothes, there are some lain out on the bed." Waiting with crossed arms. Again he would wait just around the corner of the door, not some pervert with her yet.
On the bed were light blue clothes, she could either wear the dress or shirt and pants. It was the light blue of a robin's egg so that it would give her hair a faint blue lining to it amongst all the light blue clothing. In this dwelling everyone wore some shade or hue of blue or purple.
However the most important articles of clothing were the socks and gloves between the choices as to say you MUST wear these regardless. The socks were of thick material as were the gloves, the only white clothing there.  

[thelovelessbutterfly]

she saw the clothes laid out on the bed waiting, seeing more than one pair confused her for a moment but finally she pulled the soft fabric over her head and paused to look down at the lovely blue dress. she had never worn a dress before but had seen girls on T.V. wearing them, then pulling on the white socks and pulling her fingers one by one into the gloves she quickly came back around the corner in her new garb to present herself to her master once more "thank you my Lord Crovax for letting me wear something so nice." she offered not really knowing what to say in situations like these having never been allowed something like this before.  

[Lord Crovax Koldarian]

((You didn't have to change your avatar for that.))
Smiled...the color suited her.
"You are welcome. You...you look like a giant walking snow person...." He seemed to revel in it, as the clothing color was a random thing. Lord Crovax was literally cold blooded and only certain people or actions could warm his blood, literally. Thus was the life of his species, long and prosperous but cold and harmful to those not their own kind if not careful.
Reaching out to touch a few lose strands of hair, "I shall call you Snow, for in this color it suits you."
