DETAILSβ€”


SILCO


πŸ›ŽοΈ THE MAJORDOMO πŸ›ŽοΈ


    For as long as anyone can remember, Silco has served as steward and head butler of the Balfour house, ensuring that everything remains running smoothly and that the family's every need is met. And if he resents them for their incompetence, well. That's for him to know, and for you to (never) find out. As for what you've been up to β€” all the dirty little secrets you've whispered to the house's walls β€” rest assured, he knows. He'll even enable them, if you ask very nicely.




    BACKSTORY:

      Nobody knows where Silco came from β€” just that he appeared on the doorstep one day, beginning as a servant and footman before working his way up to the head of the household.

      Some would say he's the perfect butler β€” seemingly impossible to ruffle, discreet, and deft when it comes to the matter of hiring and training staff. Whatever the Balfours wants, he knows how to get, a courtesy that extends to the house's guests to varying degrees (depending on one's proximity to Jonty and Portia, and on Silco's personal opinion). He's unfailingly polite, but a(n un)lucky few have caught him on poorer days. He may just be staff, but he still isn't a man to be taken lightly.





    RUMORS:

      πŸ›ŽοΈ He was involved in drug and weapons trafficking prior to coming to the house. Well, maybe not that exactly, but something illegal. How else do you explain that scar over his eye?

      πŸ›ŽοΈ That he seems to be completely immune to the debauched nature of the house has to do with a lost love. He won't talk about it in any explicit terms, but catch him at the right moment and in the right light, and that faraway look in his eye is unmistakeable.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ Rumor has it his chest is covered in bullet scars. All he says, when asked if they really exist, is, "I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me."

      πŸ›ŽοΈ He gauges guests ahead of time as to whether or not he'll need to wear an eyepatch to ensure their comfort. If he decides he has to, well. The service isn't worse, but you may notice it's a little colder.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ Some time ago, a guest lamented the lack of a pool room. The next day, Silco showed them to a pool room adjoining one of the second floor libraries. Everyone swears it hadn't been there before.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ He knows every secret there is. The only reason he hasn't been taken care of is because he knows exactly what each secret is worth, down to the penny, and knows no one's rich enough to pay the price.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ A fatal "accident" befell a guest some odd years ago, leaving another guest's hands bloody. Silco was the one who convinced the coroners it was a suicide.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ The only times he's ever been seen to shed a tear are during his eye injections, which he administers himself. Otherwise, there's never been anything to suggest he's even capable of crying.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ There's been some tittering over his scar, not just over its origin but the fact that it seems to grow by the year. Fatal, some say. He won't last another ten years.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ A servant once forgot one of the forks in a place setting. She was gone the next day.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ Which makes it all the stranger that, despite how knife's-edge neat he is in matters of etiquette, there's only one guest he doesn't send a maid to correct when she uses the wrong fork at the dinner table.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ Wherever Alicent is in the house, if she calls, Silco will arrive within 30 seconds.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ The Giles brother who works at the manor was reportedly hired as a favor, though to whom, no one will say.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ There are only two things Silco ensures are stocked to excess: Alicent's favorite brand (and flavor) of tea, and blue foxglove, a bouquet of which delivered weekly to her quarters. Purely decoration, mind, and nothing more.

      πŸ›ŽοΈ The place he was born doesn't exist anymore. Saltburnt is his only home.





    IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS:
      ALICENT HIGHTOWER: The work wife. He’s been caught staring before.
      HENRY WRIGHT: A guest; a fellow enjoyer of the occasional cigar and fine whiskey.
      JAKE SERESIN: A guest; intriguing enough that Silco has set aside a room for his periodic poker nights.
      POWDER JONES: A guest; a nuisance, or so he says.
      SANJI ATREIDES: Staff; the chef.
      MIA CORVERE: Staff; a maid.
      NATALIE SCATORCCIO: Staff; a maid.





    OTHER NOTES:

      πŸ›ŽοΈ Could draw a flawless blueprint of the entire house from memory. How does he get those rooms to move?

SALTBURNT | the hex club (player business).

β¬’ THE HEX CLUB β¬’



Welcome to THE HEX CLUB. A host/ess club masquerading as a lounge, the Hex Club offers the house's guests a chance to let down their guard and have a good time, whether that means spending the night having a heart-to-heart or something a little more risquΓ©. (And if you're looking for something really spicy, well, let me put it like this: the nice club has a naughty secret hidden away β€” and you might just get to take a peek if you play your cards right.)

Maybe the Otherworld is a little too intense for you. Maybe there's a host or hostess you've been eying but haven't worked up the courage to talk to yet. Maybe there's a kink you've been meaning to try out, but don't know who to ask. No matter what you're looking for, the Hex Club can find the right screw* for you.
LOCATION: On the first floor, a wrong turn away from heading down to the Otherworld. Just look for the gold sign, courtesy of Jinx.
HOURS: Friday β€” Monday, from the end of the manor's dinner service through 6 AM. Available to rent for private use, with or without the attendance of the hosts.
* Granted, not for free. But payment isn't set; rather, it's at the discretion of the hosts.



THE SPACE

THE MAIN LOUNGE is a plush, well-appointed space, easily mistaken for an upscale bar. Consider it the foreplay to the Otherworld's home run: guests are welcome to while away the hours enjoying the ambience and the drinks on offer. But the real highlights of the space, of course, are the lovely, charming creatures that dot the bar, dressed to impress, batting their eyelashes, and just waiting for you to come up to talk to them. These are the club's stars: the hosts and hostesses, whose time can be bought for an hour, for the night, as long as you're willing to pay for, though rates may vary depending on what you want to do with them. Just make sure you negotiate everything beforehand β€” disrespect any of the hosts' boundaries and you'll be thrown out.

THE BAR offers a selection of fine cocktails as well as various other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, and a small selection of bar snacks. In addition to the attentive bartenders (who'll mix you something custom if you behave), there's a DJ on duty making sure that the music suits the mood, choosing from an expansive selection of records that spin all night long. You can make requests, but there's no guarantee that what you ask for will get played if the vibe isn't right.

Adjoining the main area are a series of PRIVATE BOOTHS, cordoned off by tasteful red velvet curtains and, if you're looking for a little alone time, gilded wooden doors. (The doors don't lock β€” for the safety of the hosts, you see β€” though seeing one closed typically means the room behind it's in use.) Any furniture is easy to move, including the seat back cushions, and the more enterprising may notice hooks on the ceiling. Something else you'd like? Just ask at the bar. And remember to get any drinks you'd like before going in β€” for the sake of your privacy, there's no table service.

THE BACK OFFICE is where you'll find Silco during business hours if he's not in the bar. (And it's funny, isn't it, how that door only seems to open for him?) The main points of interest are his desk, the high rafters, and a giant couch for any visitors. A closet in the hallway leading to the office contains an array of toys and clothing, just in case you need a little extra something to get your time with your preferred host or hostess going. You are expected to clean anything you dirty before returning it. Consider it a spin on "be kind, rewind."

But if the club leaves you a little bored, or if you're looking for something more extreme, you won't have to go far β€” prove you're up to paying the price of admission and you might gain entry into THE PINK SLIP. It's just behind a hidden door, though you'll need a recommendation from Silco or an invitation from the establishment's madam herself in order to gain passage. And be warned: once you're beyond the door, you're on your own.

PERMISSIONS.

OUT OF CHARACTER:
CONTACT β€” PM, Plurk or Discord upon request/once we've written together a little bit.
BACKTAGGING β€” Yes! I'm a relatively slow tagger but I'll keep a thread going forever so long as we're both still interested in it.
THREADHOPPING β€” If appropriate.
FOURTHWALLING β€” No thanks.
ACTION/PROSE β€” I default to brackets but can match prose.
IN CHARACTER:
CANON POINT β€” Flexible on memes/PSLs, happy to go nebulous pre-death or hash out some AU ideas.

PHYSICAL CONTACT β€” If there isn't some kind of CR, it's a roll of the dice as to whether he'll accept it or chop your character's hand off.
FIGHTING β€” Sure thing; he's not the strongest guy in the world and more likely to send someone else to take care of more manual tasks for him, but he's not incapable of holding his own in a scrap, either. He has no supernatural abilities to speak of.
TELEPATHY/PSYCHIC ABILITIES β€” None to speak of. Poke around in there!
FLIRTING β€” See: physical contact. The likelihood of any reciprocation being genuine is pretty low.
INJURIES/DEATH β€” With discussion!

SHIPPING β€” He's not necessarily the easiest character to ship with and will require some work from any interested parties, but I personally am very up for it!
