FG: Vampire! The Paradise Island

[Snowflake]

Front page news in Morning Times:

Vampire Castle Acquired by American Millionaire

An unidentified American millionaire was reported to have bought the recently discovered Paradise Island. Featured with an aged gigantic but mysterious castle, the Island was said to be one of the assembly place for a family of vampires many centuries ago. There had not been any scientific evidences and/or official historic record for the existence of the vampires in that area, except for various folklores of adventurers who never came back from the island. The island had long been lost until a couple months ago a small misshaped freight ship was brought to its border by the wild waves.

Undisclosed sources indicated that the new owner of the Paradise Island is a man who has zealous interests in the research of vampire legends. It was said that the millionaire plans to send a team of six experts of various backgrounds to investigate the lost legend of the Paradise Island. According to the speaker of the millionaire, although a historian and a doctor are expected to be included, the criteria of the research team selection would not be focused on applicants' profession or experiences, but their characteristics and adventuring spirits. Large amount of payments are believed to be involved in the adventure.

Qualified professionals needed working at the beautiful Paradise Island with a ten-people party. Handsome pay. The following positions are open: chef, butler, secretary, and attendant. Send resume and two letters of recommendation.

Putting the newspapers down on his breakfast table, he leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes. He could see a small child with a little white bunny in his hand ... It's so cute ... Mommy's worried eyes looking at him ... *the lifeless little white body of a rabbit ... Mommy ... A tear rolled down his cheek. He sighed to himself, and straightened up to reach for a pen and a piece of paper. "Dear Mr. H..." He started to write his application.

[Snowflake]

You can now submit your applications.

[Hercules]

I apply for the position of Chef. I worked for several years as second chef in the Paris Hillton, and before that as senior chef in a Hard Garlic Cafe.

How do you like your stake

[Nikolai]

I'd like to apply for the postion of priest!
/me looks at his crusifix.

[duke o' york]

Do you need a trainee accountant? What's the pay like, and how many days holiday will I get? Will I be able to visit 'poly at work?

Caution, I'd love to play this but this is not an application to take part. I haven't got the time to roleplay in the way this game deserves.

[Snowflake]

It's ok duke if you still want to play. The roleplay is going to be simple. Basically you'd only need to post a post each day for example say "Dinner would be steaks for today" and that's it.

There is no requirement for roleplay, but the more you roleplay the more clues you may find (supplied by me). For example if you go search the castle you may find something. Or if you talk to somebody you may pick up information. Also it would be the responsibility of somebody on the island to start the vote in the daytime. Just try to act and react to the situation that's all.

[:) Smiley]

Go with 48-hour turns and we'll get more story.

I'll be the architect who specializes in remodeling old buildings.

Example of past work:

[Snowflake]

OMG Smilie that's great! Can you do a map of the Vampire Castle for me please?

[Nikolai]

Fantastic map!

[DrSpike]

The eccentric doctor please.

[GeoModder]

May I inquire at the nature of the attendants' tasks, Mr. Hi?

[Snowflake]

Oops it was dear Mr H.

The nature of the attendant's tasks, of course is to attend to things. Such as serving the wines to the gentlements when they are at dinner, and other things that a professional attendant would know without having to ask.

[Snowflake]

Well?

I don't think four or five people is enough even for a test run guys.

Dear Mr. H:

I am a qualified frog, turtle and aardvark trainer with over 50 years of experience, and can provide many references.

I've been the Royal Aardvark Trainer at Archester castle, UK

I organized the Worldwide Aardvark, Frog and Turtle exhibition and championships in year 2000, in Sydney, Australia.

1977-1998 I've been the president of European Aardvark Association.

1998-2000 I've been the president of WAFTA
(Worldwide Aardvark, Frog and Tortoise Association).

Suffering from immense boredom since retirement in 2002, I wish to find a job so that I can continue my passion, and so I am very interested in work on Your island.
It will allow studies over the Grand Island Tortoise, Sea Frogs and Black Aardvarks living in the region.
Learning more about them is a necessity You'll soon learn about. Black Aardvarks, especially the Toh-Toh Black Aardvarks, which are present on Your island,
can be very dangerous if You don't know how to handle these lovely creatures.
It is a matter of safety of Your expedition to hire an aardvark specialist.
I dare to claim I am most appropriate person for this mission. I've written several books about aardvarks, including
"Dining with Black Aardvarks"
"The Aardvark Mistery"
"Black Aardvarks and frogs: the eternal fight"
I also participated in creating the Great Oxford Dictionary of Aardvark Life, not yet released.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Mathieu d'Heresson.

Indeed it is, dear Mr. H. The inquiry was merely for my nephew as to assure him he does not have the necessary skills yet.

I, on the other hand, wish to apply for the secretary position.

My CV contains several years of expertise on the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Duchy of Luxembourg as third States Secretary, Second Secretary of the Prime Ministers' office (also in the Duchy) and untill recently Duchal Writer of the Duke himself.

Since it is common in the Duchy to step down after a number of years of service, I am now free to try my acquired skills on the proposed position.

Mr. GM

[Kassiopeia]

Dear Mister H.,

in reference to your advertisement in the newspaper, I wish to apply for a position as your personal assistant and secretary.

In the field of transportation, I have experience as a chauffeur and a space shuttle pilot. I also have experience as a fishmonger's assistant, a tailor, a shoemaker, a reindeer farmer, a traveling salesman, a cabin boy, a slave trader, an amateur lady detective and the Queen of France, to name but a few.

Thus I am a man of many talent, and could execute any odd job you might have that would be in need of... executing. However I would need a steel-brimmed hat provided by you, dear sir.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Kassiopeia

[GeoModder]

Hey!

[Kassiopeia]

Hang on, you applied for secretary too? Oops! I'll apply for just "personal assistant" then. You can do the secretary stuff, you know, pushing pencils and the like. :P

[GeneralTacticus]

Dear Mr. H:

I noticed your advertisement in yesterday's Morning Times, and would like to apply for a position as security specialist, to ensure the safety of your newly-acquired home. My previous employers have included Page Industries and the United States Secret Service, so I'd say I'm well qualified. Give me a position, and I'll set up security systems tight enough that no-one will get in or out without being spotted.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. Tacticus

Hmmm if accepted, as chef, I better order some sea food, root vegetables, garlic of course, steaks but I guess aardvark tartare and frogs legs are best left for another occasion.

However Aardvocado with Vinaigrette sauce or grapefruit should be alright as starter and then followed by a Meringue Apple Pie.

[Heresson]

LOL at aardvocado
Oh, and treat my application seriously...
You NEED an aardvark specialist there.

[Snowflake]

You guys.

Mr. H already have a personal assistant, Ms. Snowflake. She is currently evaluating your backgrounds and will give you a reply shortly.

[Kassiopeia]

He can have two!

[Snowflake]

Dear Mr. Kassiopeia,

My employer is very impressed after having personally reviewed your service record. You also come highly recommended from your previous employers. I am curious to know if you would be interested in the position of the butler. Your multifaceted talents would be perfect for taking charge the civil affaires at Paradise Island in its entirety.

On the condition that you would accept this position, my employer is willing to double the initial wage offer.

Most Sincerely Yours

Ms. Snowflake

[Heresson]

What about me? What about me!

[Snowflake]

You'll get a preformated acception letter eventually.

[Kassiopeia]

Good Ms. Snowflake,

your offer is accepted. When can I begin?

Best regards,
Mr. Kassiopeia
