The Essenzia Famiglia's mansion serves not only as a base for the famiglia, but as a place of residence as well. Some--like the boss, Nadia--may choose to permanently live in it as a home, while other members are free to come and go as they please.
Despite that fact that their base is a mansion, there is a decidedly comfortable air to it. The bedrooms are of an average size--not tiny, but not excessively large either--and the general color scheme of the mansion, both exterior and interior, seems to be primarily white, gold, cream, light yellow, and rich shades of red. This mansion is a bit smaller than the mansions of some of the other famiglias that reside in Tokyo, but it has all the necessities that the Essenzia require.
As a neutral group, the Essenzia Famiglia has no problems with other mafia families visiting their base. However, they are prohibited from going down into the basement, and they must gain the permission of one of the guardians or Nadia first before they come in--they can not simply waltz in, after all!
First Floor:
Living Room
The living room is directly to left upon entering the mansion. It is the third
largest room in the mansion, and it's furnished with soft, cream-colored
plush couches. A large television is situated on a television/bookcase
unit, and a fireplace sits in the corner in the far left.
Library
The set of double doors in the back of the living room connects to the
library. As the second largest room in the mansion, it is filled with
multitudes of books, each placed carefully in mahogany-colored shelves
that are aligned in neat rows and along the walls. Unlike the rest of the
mansion, the library's color scheme consists of dark, rich reds and is
more dimly lit for the sake of comfort.
Ballroom
The largest room in the mansion. The room is primarily white, but golden
accents add an air of elegance. Crystal chandeliers hang overhead, and a
large stage sits at the far end of the ballroom. There is a long table to the
left of the stairs that is meant for refreshments, and chairs are neatly
stacked in the corner of the room until they are needed.
Dining Room/Kitchen
To the right of the entryway is the dining room, and a small door in the
dining room leads the the kitchen. The dining room is rather simple,
consisting of a large table and approximately twenty chairs.
Second Floor:
Boss' Office
Nadia chose one of the smaller rooms for her office. Her desk sits in front
of a large window that allows her to oversee the front yard. In the center of
the room is a small coffee table, and cream-colored couches surround it.
There would be enough room for Nadia and her guardians--or 6 people--to
sit comfortable, but any more people would have to stay standing.
Nadia's Room
This room is at the very end of the long hallway. Nadia took some liberties
with her bedroom. Since the general color scheme of the bedroom was
originally cream, white, and red, she simply replaced the deep red tones
with a softer pink. Her bedroom is generally neat, but there is sometimes
a scattering of paper on her desk. She typically keeps her bedroom door
locked if she isn't inside.
6 Bedrooms (Guardians)
Nadia especially reserved the six bedrooms that are closest to her room
for her guardians, whether or not that decide to use it. Of course, they are
more than welcome to select other rooms if they aren't comfortable with
where they are. She is more than open to allowing them to change the
colors or style of their rooms if they so wish to. (If you'd like to have a
specific description for what your guardian's bedroom is like, send me a
PM of the description?)
6 Guest Bedrooms
Aside from the six rooms reserved for the guardians, there are six smaller
rooms. These are kept in the case that someone--such as either a
stranger or friend in need--requires somewhere to stay.
Basement:
Training Chamber
A large and bare room. The walls are specifically covered with thick layers
of metal to ensure stability, safety, and to block out sounds. There is
currently nothing particularly special about this room aside from its usage
as a training area.
Meeting Room
In some ways, the meeting room is similar to the dining room in the
sense that main focus is the large table and the many chairs that
surround it. However, there is a small surveillance room connected to the
meeting room in which the footage from the various surveillance cameras
on the vicinity can be viewed.
Outdoors:
Garden
Behind the mansion is a large garden. While the flat plains and grass
make it a rather pleasant place to do some simple sparring or training on
a nice day, the garden is particularly beautiful in the spring time. However,
as wide array of lovely and rare flower species grow here, Nadia is open to
training in the garden/backyard area so long as everyone kindly refrains
from destroying anything.
Hedge Maze
In the center of the garden in a hedge maze. The walls of the maze tower
approximately eight feet overhead, and the maze itself is circular in
shape. It can be used simply as something for fun/to pass the time, or
some of the more creative members may find ways to use the maze in
their training regime.
