The Manor is a setting designed to explore various facets of the sexual elements of voyeurism and exhibitionism. The goal of the roleplay is to play out various scenarios and fantasies that involve these elements in some way. As part of playing out these fantasies, Rhedyn and I wish to invite guests to the Manor to play with one or both of us as well. We’re open to a lot of ideas, and have examples and wants in the posts below along with a current list of active and complete scenarios in the Manor. Because we are inviting you into our space, entry into this group game is<strong><em>via invitation only</em></strong>.<span class="bbc_u">If you would like to petition an invitation, or apply for a staff position at the Manor, please PM either myself and/or Rhedyn.</span>While Rhedyn is LM’s sub in the Manor, there is no requirement for guests to be interested in exploring D/s themselves. The Manor is all about exploring sexuality in a group setting, whether it is on display or with the active participation of one or more guests.<br/><br/>When playing, each scenario resembles a One Shot between the characters involved taking place in its own thread, and categorized according to its content as other game threads are. There will also be a thread in Adult Socializing that acts as a meet-and-greet for potential guests, and serves as a place where players can meet us before diving into a thread as well as use the public areas of the Manor for play, though we envisage that the majority of our scenarios and set events will occur in separate threads for our guests.  We want to make this a positive experience for everyone involved, getting to know us and open communication are key. If you petition for a scenario and we don’t know you, we may ask you to interact in the social thread so we can get to know you better, or at the very least via PM before we agree. Please don’t take it personally if we don’t accept your petition; not everyone meshes well. Please check our O/Os before you apply as well. Rhedyn and I are very mature players, and enjoy deep, immersive experiences. If you’re just looking to get off on a scene, this might not be the place for you. We’re looking to create an RP experience that all of us remember fondly when it’s complete. We will work hard to create such an experience for you, and we expect the same in return.<br/><br/><strong>Characters:</strong><br/><br/>Lord Mayerling acts as the Lord of the Manor. He is host to all that occurs within its walls and on his estate. He has access to all areas of his Manor at any time.<br/><br/>Rhedyn is the lady of the house, and acts as hostess, primarily in the social thread of The Manor. She is Lord Mayerling’s sub. She has access to all areas of the Manor except (insert areas here, to be expanded upon).<br/><br/>TheLovelyMaid is the hired maid at the Manor, and is and will be the only maid. She is not owned by either LM or Rhedyn, and is simply hired help. She has access to all areas of the Manor except (insert areas here, to be expanded upon).<br/><br/>Any number of NPCs can be accommodated as necessary, such as partygoers or a squadron of fighter pilots, for example.<br/><br/>Players invited to the Manor may play as characters or their E handle as they so choose. LM and Rhedyn typically go by those names at the Manor, but can take character names to accommodate guests if requested.<br/><br/><strong>Setting:</strong><br/><br/>The Manor and its surrounding lands can accommodate a wide variety of settings for one shot play. The hub of the Manor is its Great Room, a large room used to welcome and entertain guests. The Great Room serves as the setting for the social thread, but it can also be used for scenarios. It’s wonderful for parties. There are numerous other rooms including, but not limited to the master’s chamber, guest chambers, the lady’s chamber, staff quarters, kitchen, dining hall, billiard room, library, study, conservatory, as well as a garden, a barn, a stable, and grounds covering the estate.<br/><br/>Further descriptions of the rooms will be added here.<br/><br/><strong>How it Works:</strong><br/><br/>Stop by the social thread and meet us, and/or look at the posts below for our current wants for scenarios. You can PM LM and/or Rhedyn with a scenario of your own as well. Once a story idea has been reached, a thread will be started to play out the scenario, and will include the players involved. It is important to note that LM may show up in any thread, and may watch or interact as he likes. Rhedyn and the maid, as well as other future staff may also do so, if they have permission and/or access to the areas in which the scenario is set. More about this and how it works will be discussed in PM as we are setting up the scenario.
