[justify]cell phones, everyone has one nowadays. those magical devices that allow people to talk over long distances. although, who really calls anyone anymore? isn’t it all about texting now?[/justify]

[justify]instant messaging is a beautiful – and addicting – thing. if you're not texting, you're probably talking to someone online. although, if you are inside of the house of night then the only computers are in the library, and that closes an hour after classes, unless you happen to own your own laptop.[/justify]

[justify]whether it’s facebook, or twitter, everyone does some form of social networking. it’s a great way to keep in touch, and to keep up with the gossip. so, get logged in and get caught up.

[justify]hey, you, stop passing notes in class. it disrupts you and the rest of the class. although, if you’re sneaking it past the professors what’s the big deal?[/justify]

journals are the perfect place to store your thoughts and memories and to keep record of your life. although, be warned, not all eyes are respectful of privacy...

[justify]these two beautiful ladies here, love to gossip. watch what you say and do, because anything can and will be used against you. so, unless you want a dirty little secret spreading, remember the walls have ears.

[justify]sidewalks. they're those nifty little things that rise off the streets so people can walk on so that cars don't hit them. they are the busiest place around. just remember to keep on moving or you just might get run over.

[justify]woodward park is a lovely place to hang out, or just relax. it's known for its gardens, some of which are full of azaleas. woodward park is also a popular destination for photographers and picnics.

[justify]utica square is a charming village like area of shops, both popular and some lesser known, that is well loved by frequent shoppers and visitors alike. there are also restaurants to suit anyone’s taste buds and a small garden area to relax in. no wonder it is one of the most popular shopping areas in tulsa. [/justify]

around tulsa, is simply any place that has not been listed already. this can include anything from wandering around the city, to your journey to somewhere else.

[justify]when entering the house of night through the main entrance you will walk straight into the reception hall. it is simple in design but, welcoming nonetheless. this particular area of the school generally receives little activity and is only used to greet the human families of fledglings once every month.

[justify]corridors are not only for walking around a building, these dark and dimly lit corridors are often the scene for intimate moments or heated arguments making them far from boring.[/justify]

[justify]the classrooms are generally used for the obvious – teaching. but, they can be accessed easily by anyone who wants to, due to the fact that no doors are ever locked in the house of night. although, the professors may not be too pleased to find you lurking.

[justify]the house of night library is like no other schools library. firstly, because it stocks ancient books containing spells, rituals, and other vampyre related things and secondly, because it is so unbelievably vast. it is a huge room near the centre of the school and it has row upon row of books on every subject you could possibly imagine. of course, this being the twenty first century, there is also a section in the room stocked with hi tech computers along with this there are sofas, chairs and desks dotted systematically throughout.

[justify]the gym in the house of night is just like any other high school gym, although slightly better supplied and built. there is also a separate room filled with every work out machine imaginable and another separate room built especially for fencing.

[justify]the dining hall is more likely to be thought of as a cafeteria despite the fact it is far warmer and inviting than any normal high school cafeteria. heavy drapes line the walls and in the center of the room is a large table with offerings to the goddess nyx. surrounding that are the tables for the students seating around six at each. so, grab a tray and enjoy some of the healthy food they have on offer.

[justify]decorated delicately this dining hall could not be more different from the students one. with pretty china plates and a waiting staff it resembles a restaurant more than it would a cafeteria. from the point of view of the students it seems so very different because of the food, or should it be drinks? obviously, blood is served here for the vampyres. also, no students are permitted unless they have been invited by a professor.

[justify]nyx’s temple is a place of sanctuary for those who need it. it is open twenty four seven and you are welcome to visit even in the dead of the day if you need to. the whole school rituals are held once a week right after school finishes.

[justify]downstairs, the girls’ common room is found, along with their kitchen. in the common room there are several large screen televisions surrounded by clusters of sofa’s and various chairs. you will also find a notice board here showing the timings of the day and anything else that you, as a student, should know. upstairs, are the various dorms each belonging to different students.

the boys’ dorm is generally rather empty, as they mostly prefer to hang out in the girl’s dorms. both dorm building’s were built identically so, downstairs, you will find the boys’ kitchen and their common room which is also filled with clusters of sofas and chairs surrounding large television screens and upstairs, there are of course the dorms.

instead of basic dorms like the students, the professors each have their own apartment like space consisting of several different rooms. each one is decorated to its owners taste and can be changed at any time. if you are searching for one of the professors after school hours here would be the appropriate place to look but, please remember that after three thirty a.m, the teachers are off duty so to speak.

just outside of the dining hall is a small courtyard. it’s centre piece is a beautiful little fountain which is surrounded by stone benches. the rest of the courtyard is brimming with ornamental flowers and bushes, it is the perfect place to come and reflect.

this area is usually just for walking to and from lessons in although, it is always a nice place to relax. here, you can find a various tables, benches, and a lot of greenery.

[justify]the coliseum like meeting hall is the largest room in the palace. it is filled with row upon row of tiered seats that all surround several large thrones where the high council of nyx sit. there is a strict code of conduct when addressing the high council of nyx which must be followed and those who enter the hall must be fully informed of these.

[justify]lavishly decorated, these rooms hold the honored guests of the high council. they contain everything that a guest could possibly need and there is a hotline to room service that is open twenty four seven.

this study belongs to the high priestess of all vampyres, shekinah. few have ever been inside the legendary room that only those who are invited by the current occupant may go inside.

filled with beautiful flowers and plants, there are several of these charming courtyards all around the island.

[justify]this board can be used for any where around the island that does not fit into any of the boards above.

[justify] every goddess has her realm. this one happens to belong to nyx. as to be expected from the goddess of night, it's always night here. don't let that fool you though. the land here is just as beautiful as the goddess herself. [/justify]

[justify] no one ever thought it would be possible for someone to break into nyx's realm. however, achlys has done just that. she now owns her own peace of nyx's land, and has twisted it to the point that looks like it belongs somewhere else.[/justify]

[justify]for anywhere that does not fall into any other of the categories can be posted here. you can't stay in tulsa for your whole life can you?

It appears you’ve stepped into some form of time paradox. Here, you can roleplay out events that happened in your characters past, or ones that are going to occur in their future.
