<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9c/Lady_in_Red_image.jpg)<br/><strong>Name:</strong>Mistress Yamada Shiori<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Mistress Bedroom<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong> Open!</div>The sun rose in Sapporo...and with it came the sight of snowfall and ice outside of the Yamada mansion. It had fallen early and heavy this year. The mansion was a sprawling one-story thing, rather larger than most normal homes, but it retained an old-school Japanese domesticity that could be perceived as either old-fashioned or very beautifully historical. The garden in the back was covered in snow, and the trees that normally bloomed thick with flowers were black and icy now. It was morning, and it was time to begin a busy day in the mansion. Everyone had a place at the mansion; some of the staff were new, while some had known the Mistress of the house for quite some time.<br/><br/>Mistress Yamada, the only daughter of the infamous Yamada family famous for their clever investments and successful partnerships with local breweries, woke up that morning feeling optimistic. She combed out her long brown hair and dressed herself. What did she want to do today...?<br/><br/>Well, as she regarded her frumpy queen-sized canopy bed, she knew the maids needed to be cleaning. When weather like this came in, the mansion always seemed messier than normal. She put on her glasses, looking for her favorite<em>Ladies Choice</em>magazine as well as breakfast...and found neither. Not only did she need her maids to do some cleaning, but she wanted her magazine and breakfast. She also looked out the window and saw nothing but the soft snow of her yard...and she knew when heavier snows came, there would be ice-carving contests, and people would vote on who had the most beautiful winter yard. She needed to talk to her staff, so she pulled the small cord by her bed that would ring a large bell in the servants' quarters....hopefully someone would respond to her summons this morning--hopefully more than one maid would! Or at least Daigo!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I will place tasks that you can have your characters do for Favor here!
