[Zinn'Sunn Location] The Black Residence

[Black Waltz]

~*| The Black Residence |*~ Credits to Masataka Fukasawa for the photograph Description: The Black Residence is a small open apartment complex residing within Zinn'Sunn. It's owner is Fafnir Black, the father of Fenrir Black who, along with his wife, take up one of these apartments as their own home. The apartments themselves count up to a total of thirty, including Fafnir's. Thet are each identical in size and architecture and are faced directly opposite to each other making five parallel rows of six apartments. Each apartment is made from durable woods obtained from local trees revealing a warm brown tone to the eyes of the public. The interiors are laced with a comfortable rug made from the various skins of animals sewn and patched together. Although the outside structure looks exactly the same, there is no limit to what the apartment may look like on the inside. Fafnir allows his clients to customize their homes in whatever ways they would like to as long as it does not disturb the architecture of the building. Because of this, a few minor additions to apartments such as patios, extended roofs, and small gardens have been made. When travelling towards the Black Residence, the visitor finds himself embarking on a smooth dirt path with flags and banners appearing ever forty-five meters or so. After heading approximately two hundred meters on the path, a diversion on the path will lead to the apartment complex. This diversion is easily notable by the many different plants and herbs that litter the outside areas of the apartments. This usually always gives the apartments a welcoming, fresh, aroma about them; which is usually what attracts the people who actually live there. Musicians are frequent visitors as the harmony of nature and architecture provide them a muse for their artworks. Speaking of artworks, painters have been known to paint the scenery intertwining with the apartments, creating surrealist dreams and harmonious works of expressionism. The only apartment there that stands out is the Black family's house. Along with the wood walls, two stone gargoyles can be seen attached to the left and right side of the house's entrance. Unlike the other apartments which have only a basic cooking installation (consisting of flint, a grill, firewood, and an oven), Fafnir houses a state of the art kitchen system with a complete set of pre-waxed flint, an upgraded grill and a decade's worth of firewood in a privately sanctioned tree-forest. Goods & Services: Every third day in a cycle a maid is sent to clean the apartments. Laundry must be done manually by the tenants and all other services must be paid for. Maid servicing is granted without charge. The apartments provide a decent, friendly, safe, neighborhood for those with free souls. It is a place where a man may retire knowing that he will be able to live the rest of his life in peace. Each apartment costs 30 crowns in a cycle.

In the midst of the lavish scenery encompassing the beautiful Black family's residence, a lone figure known as Fenrir Black - son of Fafnir and Ashura Black - the owners of the Black Residence. The trees and flowers, although tethered by a thick snow padding, shone clearly as the sun merely escaped through the clouds. He walked through the forestry, making his way into the home of his parents, a comfortable lodge suitable for any retired couple looking to escape every day life and simply rest for the rest of their lifetimes.

From out of the residence stood two middle-aged humans, one older-looking male and a relatively young looking lady. However ironic it was, Ashura Black was actually older than Fafnir. They seemed to be talking to each other, but as they saw Fenrir heading towards them in the distance, their faces quickly brightened up and a smile replaced their nonchalant expressions. They waved relentlessly at their son, happy to see him after such a long time of separation. "My Son!" called out Fafnir, who seemed to be overly excited. Fenrir's eyes lit up and he ran directly towards his parents at full speed. "Father, Mother! What a long time!" Ashura smiled gleefully, embracing her son in a warm hug. Fenrir gladly accepted the hug, including his father as well in the seemingly primitive recollection. "I hope you're happy to be back home." Asserted Ashura. Fenrir nodded acquittingly. "Good, because now you're going to work for us!" Fenrir's smile soon dimmed out into a frown. "I should've known." groaned Fenrir as he scratched his hair. Fafnir chuckled in a elder-like fashion. "Indeed you should've! With a brain inherited by none othe than Fa-" He was soon caught off by Ashura, who precariously trudged her fist into Fafnir's stomach. "Urgh...I should've known." Both Fenrir and Ashura laughed.

"So what type of work are you planning for me?" asked Fenrir, reluctant on getting an answer. "Repair doors, clean up rooms?" Fenrir's parents looked at him quizzically. "Clean up rooms? Why would I ever let my son do that?" inferred Ashura as she looked at Fenrir sternly. What has he been introduced to during all this time. Thought Ashura as she soon spoke. "Your father is going to teach you how to run this place, Fenrir. You're going to be manager." Manager, a title most took for granted. Fenrir stared in amazement. "Manager huh? Pretty sweet. I guess I'm getting payed?" Fafnir suddenly interrupted, "Of course you're getting payed! Now come inside...I have things to teach you."
