[PQ] this is the house that Jack built

Let’s face it - they can’t conduct business in the Launceleyn Manor forever, not if the rumors of Zariah hearing all are true (and even if they aren’t it’s better to be safe than sorry). And she can’t be ‘difficult to reach’ anymore. She has to have… an easily accessible place; the notion of which goes against every fiber of her survivalist being. Wessex has no magic. She can’t enchant defensive things and she seriously doubts that the only person she knows who can will do anything for her at this point. So any new thing that comes from her is safe. A potential death-trap for her during the day, but safe. And she will phrase it that way, hoping to persuade Ronin to agree with her so they can do the majority-thing on Edy, should the other Launceleyn disagree. It made perfect sense in her mind: Edy can say she was forced into it, and they have a spy-free zone at their disposal. The sun has yet to rise, but Wessex is standing in the early morning mist as it lays low over the frosted ground. She’s staring up at a medium-sized, two-story building that has clearly seen better days, but isn’t utterly decrepit. The bones are good, the frame is stable, and it has a cellar. It’s very modest compared to the manor, no more than two or three rooms per floor, but what would Wessex do with so many extra places? Clean them... ? It’s just herself, and she’s likely to take all the precautions and sleep underground, behind locked and heavy doors, lest some stupid servant accidentally (or purposefully) try to cook her in her sleep. The Ascended Queen grumbles, thinking of her various unknown haunts and then resigns herself to this fate. Such is the price of power. Now if only she could find some people willing to help make it semi-shiny and functional. ------------------------ This is a PQ to put together a house for Wessex. No limit to who can join.
