A group of orphans, all with different stories, end up in an orphanage run by a young woman named Mademoiselle de Maitrissier. She appears to be friendly but has a loose screw and can be a bit creepy at times. Her wording comes out sometimes as a riddle. The Mademoiselles special talent is magic. She can simple make desserts appear on a table out of nothing and other fantastic things. On the brochure given to the orphans, the place gives them a warm feeling and seems to have a nice atmosphere. But that is how it is at daytime. Otherwise they will have many sleepless nights since the house seems to be haunted. Something is watching them and it often hides under their beds. When they look, there is nothing there but they still have the feeling that it is still there. In the evening, the Mademoiselle is the presenter at the next door circus or rather it is a freak show. What first seemed to be a great place reveals itself to have a bad atmosphere for a teen to grow up in. It might lead them to the brink of insanity just like the Mademoiselle. Even a slaughterhouse might feel safer for some reason. The orphanage gives the orphans a bad feeling and makes them want to leave.

Glenshire Orphanage: The orphanage is a large villa with many rooms. The orphans have the choice to have their own room or share one with another orphan. The dining room looks royal with a brilliant chandelier. The recreation room has many books, a billiard table, an old radio and a brand new television. A tea room with porcelain dishes and tea cups as well as a wide variety of tea and pastries neighbors the recreation room. A private classroom neighbors the dining room. The toilets are decorated with golden walls and faucets. The marble stairs like the three floors of the villa. Outside there is a soccer (brit.: football) field, a tennis court, a garden, a swimming pool and a shed with equipment for outdoor activities. Even though the villa seems old, the furnishings in it are brand new.

Basic routine: Wake up at 8:30, get showered and dressed, breakfast at 9:30, class starts at 10:30 and goes until 12:30, then lunch time, then another hour of class, then free time. The Mademoiselle watches out for people who eat too much and dooms them to outdoor activities to work off the food. The orphans dont need to clean since some kind of force keeps the villa clean.

Freak show: In the evenings at the circus next door, the Mademoiselle presents the freak show. The clowns there are scary and the freaks even more such as the amazon (a woman with many large muscles), the tigerman, the woman with the living severed head and body and so on. If the orphans are not in bed by that time, then the Mademoiselle has the orphans dress up somewhat decently and takes them with her.
