WELCOME

Kingsgate House is a literate historical roleplay based on an Edwardian country house, the family who owns it, and the servants who keep its cogs turning. In a time of whimsy, aristocracy and propriety, life is quaint and beautiful for those born to riches and privilege, but bitter and unrelenting for those born to serve them. The great manors in the English countryside are outward displays of wealth and house the most affluent of families, yet their cogs are only kept turning by the legions of household staff who are every bit as alive as their masters. The century is young here at Kingsgate, and you are welcome to see where it takes you...

SETTING

It is Week Two of December 1906, and Kingsgate is feeling the chill. Be careful not to slip on the ice outside. The pond in the woods has frozen over and the village children have been playing on it. Lady Elizabeth's birthday is coming up next week and some of the many esteemed guests who shall be attending are already heading to Kingsgate for an extended stay.

Sorry everyone, I guess it's time to pack up the shop on this one - it was just too difficult to get active interest in such a niche RP site. It was a fun experiment though, and I'm glad for the RP we got to have. Much love <3

STAFF

SCENARIO

"WELCOME TO KINGSGATE"
In 1906, the beautiful country manor named Kingsgate House is a social centre for the Edwardian upper class. The Penroses have run it for generations and are well-established among the aristocrats of England. Lord Carmarthen's father died twenty years ago and since then things have been peaceful in the idyll of aristocratic life, the master living comfortably with his wife and their four children, Elizabeth, Kate, Edward and Annie.

But with Elizabeth and Kate reaching adulthood and the marriage scene, life is about to fill with propitious politics and a flurry of suitors which will only be topped when Edward too comes of age. And are the Lord and Lady really as happy in their marriage as they seem? What of the staff, who keep the house tiding over, but are involved in their own fierce system of power and politics? Life is never as simple as it first seems.

She walks down the aisle, the picture of a blushing bride. Her family and his beam at her from both sides. Her Jacob stands as her best man. She tries to smile, but watching her Jake... She can't. She sees the life she could have(should have) had with him. And the life she'll have with Edward. Or the death, she supposes. Does she really want to be frozen at eighteen? If she honest with herself, she's not sure. Ending her life should be something she's sure of.

She stops, trips. Her father stumbles with her. Her eyes widen as she realizes the magnitude of what she's doing. She half whispers 'I'm so sorry, please forgive me, i can't'. She turns, nearly falls over her expensive French heels, and exits the chapel.

Once she's taken off the painful shoes, she doesn't stop until she's reached her father's house. She changes out of the too fancy wedding dress, and gets into her car.

Bella Swan can't live in a fairytale where the good guy doesn't get a happy ending.

•••

That was six years ago. Bella Swan has finally returned to Washington. She's gone everywhere, set foot on each continent, finally been her own person, and is at last ready to come home.

The Cullen family left Forks soon after the wedding fell apart. Will they return? A few people have mentioned seeing them around town, but no one's quite sure if they're here to stay, or just passing through.

How will the Cullen's react to the new coven of vampires that have taken up residence in Forks? Can they live peacefully or will Carlise and Andrew de Silva's old rivalry threaten the lives of both families? And what happens when Edward becomes friends with Poppy, Andrew's daughter and he introduces her to life of a veggie vampire, something her father has tried to hide from her?

The La Push werewolves are still patrolling, unable to stop phasing yet. There is some stress between Jacob and Sam, will the Pack be able to stay united?

The Volturi haven't forgotten Isabella Swan. It is time to make sure that the Cullen Coven has kept up their end of the bargain. Will they begin a war?
