Introduction
In the world of Ferya there are people of all sorts. There are demons and angels, dwarves, elves, and of course humans. The world is modern with cell phones and high tech cameras and tape recorders. There is no avoiding the development of new things. Buildings are being built from sheet rock and steel beams. Cares zoom down interstates and planes fly through the large fluffy clouds. Mostly only humans inhabit the busy cities, as the other races prefer to stick to "the old times." There are still many parts of the beautiful world with cottages and farms.
In the small town of Mirrim sits a large mansion. The building is three stories high with a bell tower at the very top. it is said that part of the mansion was once a church. Legend says that the mansion was built by some of the first settlers of the town, but that they had passed away due to a famine and now haunt the many halls. The building went many years without an owner, but it has recently been bought by a wealthy family, who plan to put it to good use.
The Saiforro family has purchased the mansion and worked on it for about a year to make it suitable to live in. Every room has been furnished and it is the family's hope that people will move in soon. Anyone who moves into the mansion will be well taken care of. There will be food on the dinner table for every meal, bedding will be washed, floors swept, rooms cleaned, and constant medical care available. The mansion is open to anyone whom may need it, but it is mostly intended for those with some form of mental or physical illness.
On the first floor of the mansion sets a ballroom, office, dining room, kitchen, five bedrooms with connecting bathrooms, infirmary and several storage closets. The second floor is made up completely of bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and balcony. The third floor, which contains the bell tower, is strictly off-limits. No except the Saiforro family may enter this floor, and it is always guarded.
Barlo Mansion is open to beings of any race or species.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 15 authors
He brushed out a wrinkle in his green scrubs and wondered to himself where the Saiforro boy was. Sir and Lady Saiforro were off on a business trip, so their son, Lark, was to be in charge during their absence. Of course, with the help of Tarik. He took this as a huge responsibility and was very proud. He knew that Lark was not yet ready handle things on his own.
With a laugh he stood and fixed his shirt, grinning when Tarik rolled his eyes at the younger man.
"You really must be more careful," The medic informed him.
"Ah Tark, you worry too much... im fine," Lark replied with a grin.
She remembered what he said on the subject, "I can't bear seeing you, a beautiful young woman, in a wheelchair." An accident happened with her body she was put into, and she was paralyzed in her legs. She could somewhat move them with help, but other than that, she couldn't move her legs.
Lark nodded and with a smile he bounded down the front steps and stood in front of the girl and her master. He then gave them a small bow, "Greetings, I am Lark Saiforro and I will be one of your caretakers while you stay here. And who may you be?" He asked in a friendly manner. Lark's green eyes sparkled when he smiled. It was almost as though he wasn't a vampire at all. He was too kind and gentle.

Aria picked up her bag, "Lead the way Tarik," She smiled at the somewhat unorthodox looking medic, "My name's Aria, by the way."
Once on the second floor Tarik looked from the left hall, then to the right. "Well, bedrooms are the only rooms on the second floor, so we can't miss, no matter which hall we go down," he said with a chuckle. And with that, Tarik took the left hall and opened the first door on the right.
"This will be your room"
(Aria has her own thread for her bedroom!)
He looked back outside, his home for the last 7 years; then looked back at the inside of the mansion. He had no things with him, so the elegant but tall stairs would be little to him, despite his rather wide girth. Looking around, he saw that there seemed to have been little activity through the halls today, having seen few people come in today. He thought back to one poor soul who had been brought here in a wheelchair. He could only feel sympathy for her, losing things you had grown so accustomed to. Though, as he thought about it, her loss may have had more of an impact on her life than his had. He had overheard the man, Tayrik or something, tell the guests that the third floor was off limits. Not like Thror cared. He wanted a room on the first floor, as close to a dining area or kitchen as possible. He could just feel the warmth of a fresh cooked meal in his belly already.
He looked about, and saw a man near the stairs. Hoping to get a room and meal as soon as possible, he approached him hurriedly.
Yes. That's when he went to work. Yet, not only to work but also to play.
There was a rotund, bearded man who stood outside the mansion as though waiting for something. 'He must sleep like a drugged elephant..' Jordyn mused, 'But not without help to drug the elephant in the first place.'
He raised his hand to the neck of his blue satin shirt and fiddled with it briefly as he stopped his march in the open doorway- he had no one in tow and no bags, at present. Jordyn certainly hoped there would be no room inspections as time went on.
Oh. How interesting that would be.
The setting changes from Front Entrance to Aria's Bedroom
Satisfied that everything was just right, Aria walked to the window. She looked out, craning her neck in every direction to get the full impact of the view. This was wonderful, the view was incredible. Aria smiled. Today was a good day. There would always be good days just like there would be bad days, but today was most certainly a 'good' day.
The setting changes from Aria's Bedroom to Front Entrance
Someone made an appearance and introduced himself as the mansion's medic. He made a mental note of the fact then offered a smile and polite nod, "Jordyn McTosh. Will there be any necessary paperwork?" Hopefully not - he wanted to get himself integrated as quickly as possible.
Ah, just at that moment, there were more people being added to the system. Lovely.
"I don't s'pose you'd be able to offer up rooms nearest the dining areas, eh? I might be a wee bit obliged to take ye up on that offer. Bwahaha! But then, ye might be thinkin' 'bout why let me near the foods, eh? I won't be visitin' often. Well, once or thrice a day, maybe more. Bah, it be of no consequence. Set me up, friend!" With that, he gave Tarik a heavy pat on the back; not that he would have been able to do so any other way.
He was already rubbing his sausage-like fingers together in anticipation.
He looked once more at the newcomers while he waited for Tarik, and spied the golden rings all about one young man's hands. Thror grimaced. What was someone obviously so wealthy doing here? They couldn't possibly have been sent here for one of his all-but-forgotten sins, could they? He wrote a mental note to be careful around this one, hoping that he would be roomed far from him.
Lark smiled politely and took Leia's bag, "Of course I can carry it for you." He then wheeled her down the hallway and stopped in front of one of the heavy doors. lark opened it and walked in, placing the girl's bag on the bed. "This will be your room. What do you think?" He asked in a cheerful manner.
He then turned his attention back to the other two. "There is no paperwork necessary. Everyone who has come to live here is under the private care of our staff. Your information will not be shared with anyone, if you so chose... in case any of you are here... in hiding..."
Tarik froze for a moment. He was there in hiding, and sure hoped that no hawkling hunters or poachers would come around.
The only time in which paperwork will need to be filed is when someone visits me in the infirmary. It's my personal way of keeping track of everyone's shots, illnesses, and injuries."
"And Thor, there are some rooms nears the dining hall. help yourself to any room that you would like... so long as it has not already been claimed." Tarik explained this, then was surprised by the hard pat on the back. he let out a low cough, but hid it with a smile. "Any more questions?" he asked politely.
"When was the last time you did a medical?"
"Do you have a history of pulmonary disease in your family?"
"Diabetes?"
"What about tooth decay?"
"Do you like pizza?"
"Did you kill that man?"
"Please fill out in no less than 500 words why you're such an sad, little, psychotic *****. Extra marks will be awarded based on quality of outbursts shown."
Yeah. That was definitely something he wanted to avoid. Not to mention, writing with all those rings tended to be slightly difficult.
Jordyn blinked out of his reverie and shuddered internally, wait.. did he just say "in hiding" ? Now, why would he think that?~
"Of course, the infirmary." He repeated then found interest in that.
Waiting until the pig's food concerns (or, elephant.. yes?) were addressed, the young man nodded to the Hawkling's invitation to questions, "By chance, would you happen to have any sleeping aids in the infirmary? I just..." Jordyn motioned to his face, trying to convey the message that he had problems sleeping, "Yeah.."
