Beauly Manor.
home.plot. roles. rules.
overview.
Beauly Manor has always been there, sitting on the outskirts of town. The beautiful mansion is set far back from the road, with a long winding drive through the woods that block the view of the manor. Beauly Manor has existed for as long as the town had— maybe even longer. However, the days since it had acted as a single family estate are long over. For as long as anyone can remember, it had acted as a place of lodging. Each room is rented out, with short term and long term stays being offered.
According to the rumors, it’s haunted. Though, there’s been no evidence of that. Just idle gossip, really. Actually, not much information comes out of the manor at all. In fact, nobody can say they’ve even been there. Nobody can recall seeing cars driving in and out or people coming into town and saying that they are living there. People must come and go. The sign by the road does change, advertising when there are vacancies. Advertisements come up in the newspapers and online.
It’s funny though. When people do move into the manor, it’s almost as if they disappear. It’s like they enter, but never leave. Surely, they have to. After all, how else would there be those vacancies?
It seemed like the perfect place. The photos were beautiful and did no justice to the place when you finally saw it in person. The rates were reasonable and fixed, and even better, you were able to move in immediately. Even if you were only intending to stay for a short period, why would you ever want to leave?
Oh, wait. You can’t.
You didn’t notice at first. You were too focused on settling in. Plus, everything was provided. Food, furnishings, etc. There was no reason to go off shopping, no reason to go anywhere at all. It was far too easy to get too comfortable and let time slip away.
In fact, time didn’t even feel like it was passing at all. Sure the sun rose and set, but that was it. Strangely, there were no clocks around, save for the grandfather clock in the entry hall but that seemed to be broken, chiming at odd hours. Despite weather and seasons changing, the people don’t change. They don’t seem to age.
Nobody else seems concerned, so it must be fine, right?
summary.
Hi everyone! I’m back with an idea that I’ve been toying with for a while.
In summary, Beauly Manor is a place that exists outside of time. Time may pass outside the grounds, but within the borders of the property, nobody ages and nothing changes. However, once someone chooses to stay there, they cannot leave. The RP will focus on the group of people staying there, coming from all sorts of decades. Some may have intended to stay a while and some may have wanted to stay for an undetermined amount of time.
Either way, nobody has left. Nobody seems to realize just how much time outside has passed. People have been here for decades without noticing. That is, until the most recent newcomer arrived. From the jump, they’ve been concerned and their concern began to spread. The residents are starting to wake up from the trance that Beauly had placed on them, realizing they’ve been gone far longer than they have ever intended to be.
Do they want out? Or are they happy to stay in their safe bubble, outside of time but also outside of society?

Residents.
open / closed
They have all moved to Beauly Manor for various reasons. Some were only intending to stay for a short time and some intended to stay for longer. All have been stuck. They may have had moments of concern, but overall are not aware that something is wrong. They can come from any time period from 1800-present day. Now that the Newcomer is concerned, they may be getting suspicious. Do they want to escape? Or do they want to stay where things are comfortable?
