Ryuuza Estate

[Kouryuu]

::The Ryuuza Residence::

The residence of Kouryuu Ryuuza and her brother/guests. It is an run down two story temple/estate from the old days of the daimyo that fell into ruins at outside of Tokyo. However over the years the Kouryuu family had taken the task of bringing back to its former glory. Now it’s function as a shrine and a dojo: however it also serves as the place where the family stays (along with their friends).

OUTSIDE:

Front Yard: The Front Gate. It got an old rusty door knocker and lots of plants. There is also a couple of old statues around here. Behind the gate is a smooth stone path towards all the wings of the houses. The property is surrounded by rusty iron gates.
Garden: The garden of the house. It is in Back Yard. It is a traditional Japanese garden. Usually vegetables, herbs, and fruit are grown here. A couple of benches and streams run through here.
Back Yard: More like a giant forest-lake. It is said to have a couple of good hot springs as well. Though that is just said to be rumors to the locals. In reality this is the truth. The reasons the hot springs are rumors because they don’t want people sneaking to behind here.
Temple: Being an old Shinto shrine- this is where people come to do their daily offerings and such. There is a giant bell in here along with different statues. Kouryuu’s job tends to made her have to ring the bell each day. However she usually sleeps here to avoid her kendo and martial art lessons.

INSIDE:
Second Floor:

Brother’s Room: Kaiyou’s room: don’t go here. >> Or else you will probably get yell at and chased around.
Kouryuu’s Room: Kouryuu’s room. The room is one of the most modern rooms. It got a computer, a desk, a stereo, a bed, and a balcony that goes to the garden. It is the second largest bed room in the house.
Guest Rooms: The almost rest of the second room empty. These usually serve as guest rooms or storage rooms. However occasionally the room houses a house guest or two. Rarely more then 2 rooms fill up more at a time.

First Floor:

Kitchen: You know what this is. >>
Bathroom: You again know what this is. I don't want to explain it.
Living Room: The room where most of the people of the house hang around. There is a old t.v, a few bookshelves, and a table. People usually sit on mats or pillows here. This is also where everyone usually eats.
Dojo: The Training Room/ Gym of the house. There is many equipment here and it is probably the biggest room in the house. Most of the training here is martial arts or traditional armory based stuff.

Under Ground:

Basement: The empty basement. It got a few worn out couches, tables, and a t.v. Usually this is where meetings takes place or group discussions. It also one of the few places with a computer. It is cool in the summer yet warm during the winter.
Cellar: The cold cellar that stores the food of the house. It is the darkest and coldest place in the house. Like a giant freezer. Kouryuu usually treatens to shut people in her for days if they don't shut up.
Storage Room: This is where old furniture and old stuff that is not needed is stored. Somethings useful things can be found here that can be used in the future.
Library: Probably Alessandra's favorite place to be. It is the second biggest room in the house. It is an old fashioned libary with many book shelves. It also got a few tables and chairs as well. The wall paper of this room is peeling away. Strangely enough- it seems that the wall paper seems to be hiding something...
