OOC - Stormswept Heights - Round 2

[MissVictoria]

Welcome, Lady Pendragon! We will have Elizabeth arrive at the manor after the Baron and Baroness.

 

[MissVictoria]

I'm adding a section at the top of this thread, for characters that anyone may use as they see fit, just to add a bit of color to the thread. You are free to write up actions for these characters, and order them about.


The first of these characters is Esmond Pickering, 78, the old butler who has lived within the heights far longer than anyone else, even the Baron. He was a large man in youth, and is still quite strong, though his posture has stooped and his hands shake with palsy. He knows more about the Heights and the lands around than anyone else, and is quite knowledgable of the daily goings-on of the manor. He is crafty and often manages to get his own way, a trick he has learned in his years of service. He also has an odd ability of knowing how to obtain things... if you need it, he can get it, and quickly.

 

[MissVictoria]

The player for Baron Martyn has not responded within the required time period, nor opened his pm that I sent him on the 25th, nor posted anything to lit for 2 days.

So, I will be seeking a new player for the Baron, who has not yet posted to the thread.

-V

 

[MissVictoria]

The position of Baron Martyn has been filled by PhoenixPrime. *smile*

 

[MissVictoria]

Phoenix, your pm box is full, and I can't message you...

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Have I lost another would-be husband?

 

[MissVictoria]

*sigh* I'm not sure... I send your latest husband an email message this morning. If he doesn't reply by tomorrow, its back to the drawing board.

If anyone else on the thread would like to fill in for Baron Martyn until the position is filled for certain, feel free..

~standing outside her chamber door tapping her foot~

I think we need some more male servants around this place too, a gardener perhaps? Before my daughter and step-daughter start clawing out each other's eyes over the stable boy...

 

[MissVictoria]

*chuckle* I'll post another announcement about seeking character

 

[Slance]

Servant

OOC: Alright I'll try this out... my one major problem is watching for typo's

Char:

Name: Fromhit Goldwane (From)
Age: 18
Hair: Black slighty messy
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 150
Eyes: Dark brooding green.

Looks: He has the lean and muscular about him. He also has boyish good looks with mysterous dark brooding green eyes. Wares normal servants clothes.

Bio: His father has a large manor and he was expecting for it to be handed down to him. When his father was 90 on his death bed a scandal was discoverd and all the fathers money and property was gaven to the state. That happening and the added fact that From has to work as a servant to make any money has turned him in to a bitter lad one step from a street mugger. He hates every body in the manor for there money and snobbiness he secretly wishes to murder almost every one of them in their sleep.

MissVictoria-

I'll give you a choice, I can either come on as the Baron, or I will come on as

Gaylord Larson -
Father to Natasha
Aged 40
Dresser and General manservant to the Baron

I'll get more detailed if I use him. Let me know, MissV

 

[MissVictoria]

Welcome, Slance, your character shall certainly provide some interest to the story!

Xantham, you are the answer to my prayers. If you will come on as the Baron Martyn, I will be indebted! Poor Lady Martyn has been waiting for you since we started!!

*hugs*

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Wow, on to my third husband in two weeks... Third time's a charm right?

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Ok, just have to say this in jest to my husbands first post: "Oh Edward, it's just so... BIG! I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to handle all of it..." ~giggles~ ahem... ok, now that I got that out of my system.

 

[Xantham]

Well my dear wife, if I were you I would just start at one end and really try to get a feel for it. With a little exploration, I'm sure soon you'll have the taste for it and then you'll forget that it wasn't yours all along. Sure, other people may come and go, but now that we're married I might as well just give it to you, since I know you'll probably want to take full advantage of it. And if you don't get a chance to get up on top of it today, don't worry it'll be there tomorrow and we can even use the rear entrance.

Love, your husband.

P.S. That was a command. With improper punctuation.

Wood Barkely, gardener

Well, after reading Euphoria's post, I'm glad i volunteered for the job. Perhaps we're due for a good "plowing", lol.

Wood Barkely( yes it's a pun, his father was a mean drunk) is modeled after the title character in Lady Chatterly's Lover. He's tall, dark, not handsome, but his swarthy physical presence can affect women. His muscles hide a sharp, but uneducated mind. He carries a resentment toward's the social betters he towers over, but is wise enough to know his place, even if he resents it. He prefers the solitude of the grounds as it relieves him of what he considers the fawning attitude of the other servants. When not at his work, he can be found in his cude room behind the gardener's shack or the local working man's pub

 

[MissVictoria]

Welcome, Subo97. You are a punderful addition to our cast. Feel free to jump in at any time. *smile*
