The old stone pathway at Obsidian and 99th leads past forbidding black iron gates that encompass the Warwick property. Just beyond those gates lies an eerie cloud of doubt, "Are these gates here to keep vampires out? Or to keep them in?"
To the brave enough to venture further down the pathway, blood-red roses adorn the grounds, beautiful, yet laced with poisoned thorns. The deadly flowers lead to the entryway of the darkened castle.
Beyond the arched entryway stands a great black weeping wall, the water trickles and runs down the cold slab. Icy winds pass through the halls, chilled fingers running up and down the spine. Thousands of eyes watch every move. The wall shifts and shimmers. Words lit in silver are visible to read.
"Welcome to obsidian's château noir, the Black Castle. This is the home of obsidian. Firstly, yes, I have returned. Secondly, yes I am now an angel and a vampiress. Now to continue, there are a few rules of conduct to be followed during your stay."
"Please make yourselves comfortable, the pantry is stocked, pour yourself a glass of wine. Don't touch my polished holy water vials, play with my confetti... If you eat the last blood pretzel, you better hide. Don't feed Zarek, he is spoiled enough as it is. Watch your pockets, I tend to take "donations" indiscriminantly."
"If you are looking to admire my new wings, *flap flap* or to chat with myself and my family and friends, we can be found at Heaven's Gate."
"Last, and perhaps the most important, Do not attack my family members." The weeping wall's water turns a dark blood red at this point. "It would not bode well for your future, if you do." "I may look angelic, but appearances are deceiving."
Description taken from RCPedia. The description of this lair (one of the first in the city) used to be considerably shorter:
Standing in the entryway of the darkened castle, directly in front of you there is a black weeping wall, you can hear the water trickling as it runs down. Suddenly, the wall shifts and shimmers. Words lit in silver appear, "Welcome to obsidian's chateau noir, the Black Castle. This is the home of obsidian and CHASS. Please make yourselves comfortable, the pantry is stocked, pour yourself a glass of wine. Do not bite, steal or attack any of my family members." *the weeping wall's water turns blood red* "it would not bode well for your future, if you do." |
