Phoenix Hall or "Mournbringer Manor"

[Raine Eve]

Welcome To Phoenix Hall or as it is now affectionately called "Mournbringer Manor", home of Taicho Eve. A lot of history surrounds this estate, as well as many interesting facts. For one its name is due to the architectural layout. The grand entrances wide roof its "wings" and the long hall behind the central courtyard refers to its "tail".

Adding to the meaning behind the name, the temple within the estate is home to the manor's guardian Suzaku the eternal phoenix.

Another of the manor's inhabitants is Taichou's wolven companion Malakai. She and Hisagi still run a breeding facility here so you'll see various pups running about on any given day.

Now... You've seen the front gate, but how about a small tour?

Taichou's Koi pond and small garden where she spends time relaxing.

Out back is the spa area with a pool, small waterfalls and even natural hot springs futher past her small meditation gazebo

Where the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Phoenix Hall Reflect in Black Dragon Pool... this bridge leads to Raine's personal stables.

Across the bridge we arrive at Taichou's stables. Home to her prized herd of horses. Feel free to have a look around.

If you look out far enough you'll see a few of her precious mounts grazing...

Momma Sharviel

Twin Stallions Tobias & Thorne

And her pride and joy Echojin, or Echo, her young colt.

Well I hope you've enjoyed your tour Of Taichou Eve's estate. Be sure to come back anytime when she's around and make yourself at home!

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

*Raizen sonido's in, and looks around*

Hmm....nice place ^^

[Raine Eve]

*Raine looks up from her front porch and smiles as she realizes who her visitor is*

Hello Vasto-sama ^^ Nice to see you here.

*She hops off her porch to meet her Lorde*

Welcome to my home! And thank you -^^-

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Quite an interesting place you've constructed here....I'm impressed ^^

[Raine Eve]

I can't take all the credit I'm afraid. I had some help refurbishing this place from my housemates ^^

*She smiles as she waves to Hisagi and her new "family"*

We each reside in one of the 5 pagodas here in the manor.

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Interesting.....this may seem like an idiotic question, but which is yours?

[Raine Eve]

*Raine chuckles*

It's not idiotic =P I wouldn't have expected you to know

*She points to each pagoda as she goes*

Hisagi lives in the temple to the north, Yuroichi calls the south home, Byakuya is in the east while Renji stays in the western pagoda. I happen to live in the larger pagoda here in the center of the compound ^^

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Hmmm....I should have known.

You also have your horses in a stable here, ne?

[Raine Eve]

*Raine smiles and nods*

Mhm -^^- Care to head down to the barn with me? I was just about to head there myself.

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Sure....I wouldn't mind seeing these legendary horses of yours ^^

[Raine Eve]

*Raine motions for Vasto to follow her as she sonidos down to her stables*

Here we are ^^

*She walks over to Echo's paddock and whistles*

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

*sonido's behind her, then watches her whistle for one of the horses*

Hmm?

[Raine Eve]

*Raine's ear spines twitch as she hears the powerful hoof beats of her beloved colt coming to greet her. Finally he could be seen, rearing up on the horizon before galloping down to Raine. He stopped just short of the paddock fence and snorted.*

Vasto, I would like you to meet Echojin. My prized sport horse prospect ^^



*Echo knickers and nuzzles into Raine*

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

*looks at the horse*

Nice....

*Vasto appears, laying on the horses back*

Comfy too XD

[Raine Eve]

*Echo cranes his regal neck to come face to face with Vasto and snorts*

Umm, I would be careful Vasto... >< XD

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Hmm? *looks the horse in the eyes*

Oh....meh, whatever...I'm relaxed here...*cups hands behind his head and closes his eyes while laying on the horse*

[Raine Eve]

*Raine rolls her eyes and sighs. Then she offers a few short clicks and whistles to Echo. He lowers his head in understanding and just begins to graze.*

You're lucky he's such a good boy XP

*She promptly hopped the fence and sat down in the grass*

So what brings you to SS today Lorde Vasto?

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Meh...just stopping by.

The lack of Arrancars and Hollows sometimes makes HM boring.

[Raine Eve]

*Raine lets out a sigh*

I know... but hopefully that will all change...

*She brushes her bangs from her face lazily*

However the Espada do have th e most "seated members in any divvy/race so far. With the 4th and 5th Espadas on their way to the council.

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Not exactly.....my brother has finished training one Vizard, and 3 more are already being trained.

That makes things even between us, once again.....Ironic, ne?

[Raine Eve]

*She cocks her head to the side*

I'm assuming that you're speaking of Katsuya, as Dark has not taken up hollowfication to my knowledge...

*She closes her eyes thoughtfully*

But even so Vasto, with equal numbers your still in the running. It's a process.

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

Hm? I don't claim any other relative, as it was only the two of us in life, as well as death.

*hears her last comment*

Heh....you underestimate my brother.....not a wise choice.

My brother is greater than me in many ways, and vice-versa.

[Raine Eve]

*Raine's lips curled into a wicked smile*

I underestimate no one... I simply make note of my own personal observations. I was reflecting on my quantitative data, as numerics offer no further use than to show whose ahead in recruitment...

*She looks Vasto in the eyes*

I very rarely hint to any qualitative data I may hold, and even rarer is the case where I disclose my true views on situations, or in this case opponents.

*Her eyes glinted darkly*

That's the advantage, not to mention beauty, of my enigmatic nature...

[Vasto Lorde Raizen Kumori]

*Vasto scratches his head*

I'm not sure what you just said, but it seems like you weren't underestimating anybody, so....yeah...XD

[Raine Eve]

*Raine collapses into the grass in a laughing fit*

Well as long as I got my point across then I guess that's all that maters XD
