@dragonydas
If you have a certain mythological being in mind for the 'evening shift' at the URC front desk let me know and I can edit!

@LupusIntus

That's absolutly fine. I love a minotaur. Same region as Theria XD

Umbra Rose Condos

There we go. It's now late afternoon. Consider around 7 pm. Also... It's the start of the first event I have planned. Let's see if you can figure out what it is.

Umbra Rose Condos

Theria

Location: Building 1: Ground floor, Reception
Interactions: [@Massasauga}, @Red Wizard, @CitrusArms, @BunniesOfDoom, @LupusIntus

---

Theria smiled at Rebecca as she spoke about Slick while Pippin kept trying to push herself towards the new snake on the block. “Oh. Don’t worry about it. We allow pets here. I mean… I have eight snakes myself, though mine aren’t really pets and more part of me.”

She laughed, almost all of the snakes hissing with her as to join in with the laughter. All but one, Kisses, who was still sound asleep. This was normal for Kisses, so Theria wasn’t worried. For some reason, Kisses was always asleep, and would only wake up if startled.

Suddenly, Layla perked up, noticing that Yumeiko and Ryū were passing by. Wait… this reminded her of something… There was something she wanted to tell Max… something about what happened in the morning… OH…

She turned to Max, suddenly remembering what she wanted Max for early on. “Max, I’m sorry. Could you order two new blood fridges and some extra bags? The fridge in Lady Coventry’s room is broken, and I want to keep one here in the reception… in case of emergencies.”

She had just finished saying this when Layla turned her attention towards the main door. Neiko, the fashionista of her snakes, also turned and hissed in surprise, causing Theria to also look towards the entrance. Coming towards them was Iris in tattered clothing. “Oh my.” She said in surprise. She knew this was a common occurrence with werewolves, but this usually happened on the path from the tranquility rooms to their personal quarters… Still, she needed to keep her professionalism.

She listened to Iris attently and nodded. “Well Lady Madril, I’ll make sure that someone delivers the footage to your room. And as for quick cash… Maybe some residents might need help with chores? I don’t really know… Maybe I can…”

Theria’s stomach growled, making her cheeks turn slightly red, a very visible feature due to the abundance of green on her head. “I’m sorry. I haven’t had breakfast yet… I’m sure Max can help you. I’m just going to get something to eat.” She said as she made her way towards the restaurant. Of course, Kaki the gluttonous snake happily hissed at the idea of food coming near her.

Late Afternoon

Location: Building 1 Kitchen

“I’m telling you Theria.” Said Borkus the Head chef “Something’s wrong. That dishwasher worked fine for four years now. It didn’t just break.”
“Well Borkus,” responded Theria. ”I’ll still talk with the repairman. He will take a look at it and see if it can be fixed. I’ll give him a call once I get to the front desk.”

“Alright alright. Thankfully we still have enough clean pans and dishes to work tonight. Now leave my kitchen before I start thinking about making snake soup.” He snorted and Theria laughed with him.

Borkus was like an uncle to Theria. Like that weird uncle that is usually rude but actually means well. She respected him alot, so if Borkus said that something strange was happening, then something strange was indeed happening.

She waved at Borkus and made her way to the reception area, thinking about what could possibly have happened for a four year old dishwasher that worked every day cleaning many dishes multiple times a day to just suddenly stop functioning.

Umbra Rose Condos

Hey everyone. Sadly, I will only be able to post on Sunday. Sorry about that.

Umbra Rose Condos

I'll post tomorow with the time-skip. Going for Late Afternoon / Early night. Mostly dinner time.

Umbra Rose Condos

@Lemons

Indeed he is.

Umbra Rose Condos

Umbra Rose Condos

NPCs

Arborox - The Manager

Arborox - The Manager

Image

Description:
Arborox is a stoic and commanding gargoyle with a sculpted, stone-like appearance that reflects her timeless endurance. Her features are elegant yet rugged, with sharp cheekbones and ridges that emphasize her ancient heritage. Her leathery wings, though often neatly folded behind her back, occasionally stretch wide when she asserts her authority.
Arborox’s tailored black suits are always immaculate, giving her a modern, professional edge that complements her old-world origins. Her claws, polished yet fearsome, click softly against surfaces when she's deep in thought, adding to her aura of quiet control.
As a gargoyle originating from France, she speaks with a soft yet firm French accent.

Personality:
Arborox is disciplined, pragmatic, and deeply protective of the tenants under her care. Her sense of duty and vigilance is at all times high. She is also the epitome of fairness, balancing empathy with firm enforcement of the apartment's rules.
Arborox is quick to shut down conflicts among her mythical residents, whether it’s a noisy banshee or a careless centaur tracking dirt through the hallways. She always mediates disputes with a calm and commanding presence.
Though serious on the surface, Arborox has a softer side that reveals itself in private moments. She has a natural instinct to nurture and guide others, particularly younger mythical beings who struggle to find their place in a fast-changing world. Her wit is as sharp as her claws, and her dry humor often disarms even the grumpiest of tenants.

Fun facts:

• She has a deep love for architecture, often sketching designs in her free time or musing over modern versus classical styles. She takes pride in maintaining the complex’s structural integrity with her own two hands.
• She finds rainy nights calming and often perches atop the apartment complex to observe the cityscape, feeling at peace under the stormy skies.
• Arborox collects and preserves old tomes and scrolls related to mythical lore. She acts as an unofficial historian for the mythical community and enjoys regaling the tenants and other staff with tales of old France.

Regina - Head of Cleaning

Regina Amorphia - Head of Cleaning

Image

Description:
Regina Amorphia, also known as the Slime Queen, is a regal figure and the head of the cleaning department for the Umbra Rose apartment complex. With her glowing, neon-hued appearance, she looks equal parts intimidating and majestic. Her crown, made of semi-liquid slime and crystalline jewels, often glimmers faintly, a sign of her connection to the countless blobs of slime that carry out cleaning tasks across the complex.

Personality:
Although her appearance can be intimidating, Regina is a kind, compassionate leader who genuinely cares about the comfort and happiness of the residents. She doesn’t lift a finger to clean herself. Instead, she commands an army of obedient and sentient slime blobs, which she affectionately refers to as her "cleaning crew." These blobs respond instantly to her telepathic commands, gliding through the halls, scrubbing, tidying, and handling even the most chaotic messes.

Her regal demeanor is balanced by a playful side, and her presence is always warm and approachable. She knows the name of every resident and often checks in on them, not in person but by asking about them to other staff or watching them through her “cleaning crew” senses. She is usually shy towards other monsters or mythical beings other than slimes but will appear to them if necessary.

Fun Facts:

• Her slime blobs often act as her "social ambassadors," delivering notes or messages on her behalf when she’s too nervous to talk face-to-face.
• She loves learning about the diverse residents of the building and often spends time watching them (discreetly) from afar. She finds their different magical traits fascinating but feels too shy to approach them directly.
• Occasionally, she hosts “blob races” in the complex’s courtyard, where her slime minions compete in speed-cleaning challenges for the amusement of residents.

Chef Borkus

Chef Borkus

Image

Description:
Chef Borkus is part of the Swinefolk, a race of human-pig hybrids. Standing at a sturdy 6 feet, his muscular frame is covered in a bristly coat of light pink skin, with patches of rough hair on his forearms and neck. His piercing, small black eyes gleam with an intense focus, framed by an ever-snarling snout. His oversized, calloused hands wield knives and utensils with the precision of an artist but the ferocity of a butcher. He wears a well-worn white apron, perpetually smeared with traces of sauce, flour, and grease, which hint at his relentless dedication to his craft.

In the kitchen, he is an unstoppable force, moving with calculated efficiency while the ambient noise of sizzling pans and chopping echoes through his domain. The warm glow of kitchen lamps glistens off his sweat-dampened brow as he oversees meals for the mythical beings residing in Umbra Rose.

Personality:
Chef Borkus is a perfectionist, possessing an unwavering commitment to the culinary arts. His demeanor is gruff, and he rarely minces words, often barking orders at his assistants in a raspy, low-pitched voice. Despite his abrasive nature, his passion for cooking and feeding others creates an unspoken bond with those who try his food. Chef Borkus is fiercely secretive about his recipes, guarding them like ancient relics. His philosophy is that great food must remain shrouded in mystery to maintain its magic.

Despite his tough exterior, Chef Borkus has a soft spot for the residents of the apartment complex. He often crafts personalized meals for each mythical being, tailoring dishes to their unique tastes and magical constitutions—dragonfire-spiced stews, nectar-infused ambrosia, or lunar-essence desserts. However, his kindness is hidden beneath layers of grumbling and scolding.

Chef Borkus thrives on the challenge of accommodating the dietary quirks of his fantastical clientele. Beneath his pig-headed stubbornness lies a creative genius who respects the power of food to bring beings together, no matter how strange or terrifying they might be.

Fun facts:

• He sniffs every ingredient before using it, as his pig senses allow him to detect freshness with uncanny accuracy.
• Hates waste and will loudly chastise anyone who dares to toss even a scrap of food.
• Occasionally hums while cooking, a low rumble that sounds like a combination of a grunt and a lullaby.

Iris out here with the Dissociative Identity Disorder

@Massasauga

Funny enough... the idea about Theria's snakes each having a name and personality came to me after watching a documentary on D.I.D.

Umbra Rose Condos

Please forgive the pathetically short post! Been a busy week for me and sounds like we'll time skip soon? Didn't want to risk holding anything else up!
