Forums » General Roleplay » A New Master of the House

Its not every day that a family gets an inherited estate from and estranged uncle. but today is that day! The Willow family has just been granted a large estate with all of its 150 staff. It contained 25 bedrooms, 3 ballrooms, 2 dinning rooms, and so on, and this wouldn't even include the servant's quarters. On this lovely spring day, as they approached the large manor, all of the servant staff stood outside. All standing at attention ready to greet the new family.

Both Jareth and Janeth stood by each other, Jareth was trying to hold in a sneeze as the wind blew. he tried to remain as professional as he could. Standing by his older brothers who stood as butler, first, and second footman, of the house. No one knew what to expect of the new family. and they prayed for mercy that it would be better then the last Master.

"Holy...."Jaqulynn muttered as she pulled up to the manor. She knew many of her relatives had been very successful in their usually muli century long lives, but she never knew any of them could afford to have a mansion this big, nor as staffed as it was. Thankfully one of her other many uncles offered to pay the staff, other wise owning this place would bankrupt the Willows.

The car pulled to a stop infront of the multitude of people as Jaqulynn got out. Out of the car escaped a labrador/german sheppard mutt, who exitedly looked around at the massive amount of people, the dog was very, very sociable, if easily scared. "Holy crap that's alot of people.Jake said from inside the car. Clearly visible infront ofhim was his pet boar, a large brown and fuzzy boar who was surprisingly friendly. "Uncle Winton said he'd pay them for us right?"Jenny asked. She held a cat carrier with a large black and white rabbit and a black and white cat of equal size.

"Uh... it's nice to meet of you."Jaqulynn said awkwardly. She really didn't understand why mansions always had to have so many people working at them. She would've told a few to go seek out new jobs had her uncle Winston not told her otherwise. Jake soon exited the car, grunting a she hoisted Pigzors out of hislap and dropping the baor to the ground."Jesus christ... Mom, remind me to put Pigzors on a diet."Jake grumbled.

Near immediately footman moved to the vehicles offering to take the pets by their leashes and also taking the luggage up and into the home. The Butler, a young man with blonde hair and green eyess approached Jaqulynn, crossing his arm across his chest and bowing just slightly, leaning up he adjusted his glasses. he was about 26 years old, rather young for a butler. "hello ma'am, my name is Jared Williams, I am the head of all the staff here at the manor. As of today i am your loyal butler, and all of the staff before you are your loyal servants. I have been instructed that i show you about the entire Manor, and as is my duty i will do whatever you ask or feel is needed."

Jareth watched the animals and his brow almost furrowed, theyd never had to take care of animals here. Never mind a boar. He was disgusted by the thought.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Williams, my name's Jaqulynn Willow."Jaqulynn introduced. "And don't worry about giving me a tour right now, just show me where hte bed rooms are so me and my kids could get settled in."Jaqulynn said.

Afetr Jake exited Jenny, Jared, and Jal got out as well. Jared was leading a small black and white puppy by a leash who hopped around yipping at all the new people. Jal hid behind her older sister, hugging her calico kitten tightly, not wanting anybody to take her away. Pigzors adamantly remained put, only following Jake or one of the other Willows.

"Uh, you all would be able t oadapt to an all meat diet right?"Jaqulynn asked, her tailnervously swishing behind her. "Uh, we're not able to eat fruits or vegetables. Well... we can't eat fruits or vegetables in their normal state. If it's been processed thuroughly it's easier for us to digest, but if they aren't processed they give us food poisoning."Jaqulynn said.

All the footmen who had assisted with the luggage now struggled with what to do with the animals. They were at a loss. Jared the butler however spoke swiftly to Jaqulynn. "That is quiet alright mad'am, as our previous Master was the same. The rest of servent's and myself eat in our own dinning quarters at a separate time, and our food is prepared by a separate cook. Never will your food be compromised. Now if you would follow my this way i will show you all to your quarters. "

And that he did, in no time flat he had walked them through the first floor and up to the second where each child was introduced to their room and finally he brought her to the third floor and opened a double door. "and this is the master bedroom. Now please make yourself comfortable, dinner will be served at 6 pm sharp, your valets will be up at quarter of to ensure that you are on time, as well as the footmen for the children."

As JAred headed into the mansion each of the Willow children got their pets and ehaded inside, with Jake allowing Chance, theGerman shepard,labmix to room with him for the night. Each of the children were surprised by their rooms, however Jaqulynn easily out did their surprise when she was brought to the master bed room."I uh.... thank you."Jaqulynn said, still stunned as she looked around the room.

Oop: I just remembered that Jaqulynn has a cat too so yeah, just pretend she'dbeencarrying it with her, it's a grey tabbycat

"now unfortunately we were not aware that you had animals with you and i must run to the market with the first footmen, to buy the appropriate amenities. i will ensure that i will be back to over see supper at all costs, with that i wish you good evening." with that he bowed and turned to leave the room.

Without doubt all of the servents were bustling around making sure that the house stayed in top order, but also that they stayed out of sight.

"Whoa, hey, you don't have to go get food for our pets.We've got that taken care of. Jenny's content just feeding her rabbit ssalads, we have a huge bag of food for all the cats, Pigzors'll eat just about everything, and Chance and sam have a bag of dogfood they share."Jaqulynn explained.

he cleared his throat turning around. "excuse me speaking out of turn madam however none of our staff is properly trained on dealing with animals, and as Butler of this establishment, i must ensure that they are all thoroughly prepped on all information, therefore i must go to the store at any cost. now excuse me" he turned leaving onces more.

Janeth scurried around the hallways with a cart seeing to that every bathroom had clean towels in it, attempting not to trip over her feet, it was the same routine. she knocked on each door before opening and went through each bathroom with a checklist.

"My kids can take care of their pets themselves. No need for you to go and do that for them."Jaqulynn said.

Jal and Jake wandered the halls,with Molly following after them, occasionally trying to pounce on their tails. "So do we still hae to go to school?"Jal asked. "I don't, but you do."Jake replied. "Christ, wonder if we're gonna be living here from now on."Jake said. "Does Molly get a new one of those things she climbs on?"Jal asked. Jake shrugged. After a few moments he seemed surprised that he hadn't felt the kitten pounce on his tail. He glanced abck seeing Molly was gone.""Goody."He grumbled. "Jal, c'mon."Jake said heading back the way they came, eventually finding Molly playing with a towel that was hanging off the cart that Janeth had been pushing

But he had already left her to herself.

Janeth cleared the bathroom and turned around to her cart covered a muted shriek at the kitten. "oh gosh oh gosh. uhmm" she began to try and remove the kitten from towel. While kneeling down on the floor to remove the kitten she didnt even notice the children.

The small kitten continued playing with the towel, until Jake picked her up. Molly gave a shocked meow and a confused look at Jake. "Uh, sorry about that."Jake said. "Atleast it wasn't toilet paper or papertowels,then there'd be a mess."He said handing thek itten to Jal.

Janeth nearly squeeked keeping her head down and standing up quickly her hands clasped in front of her. "oh nono. im so sorry, i should have kept a better eye on the cart. do forgive me." she quickly moved to the bar of the cart. He hair was in gentle braids over her shoulders. her dress was probably on the shorter side, and her cheeks were tingend in blush from embaressment.

"You don't need to appologize or anything. If anyone does it's her."Jake said, holding Molly up, who still had a confused look on her face. "And she really can't so yeah."Jake said. "Uh, I'm Jake and this is my little sister Jal."Jake said.

She gentle bowed her head peakign up at them with her purple and pink eyes. "It is a pleasure to meet you both. I am Janeth, im one of the Chamber maids of the house." she could feel herself getting very nervous.

"It's nice to meet you."Jake said, unaware of Jal hiding behind him. "So, what are you doing exactly?"Jake asked, glancing at the cart.

"i-i um was checking all the bathrooms to make sure they were properly stocked." she barely squeeked out her face was growing red.

"Oh okay."Jake said. "Shouldn't a guy be doing that instead? After all some stuff in the bathrooms can get kind of, uh, gross."he said. "Uh, are we the first elves to lvie here?"Jake asked.

"n-no youre not. and only the maids clean the house, and were all female." she said quietly.

"Weird."Jake said. "So what do you guys do for fun around here?"Jake asked.
