Sylum Vault
Spring Fling 2020: Last Check In
Last Day for Check In.
Hears screaming in the distance.
Oh wait that’s me.
Sylum Inspiration: Michael Dundee
Oceania: Scientist
Michael Dundee has no idea who his father was. He was raised on the edge of town by his mother, who had been shipped to Australia because she was pregnant. She worked hard and he will always remember her smile.
She taught him to read and write. But mostly taught him to value himself and everyone. When she died, he set out to find where his place was in the world.
He traveled out to the Outback and found himself.
Dundee came back into town, and ended up meeting Max Cadbury. He liked the guy instantly, trusted him. Max returned the trust by letting him know about the truth of what he was and along with his companions.
It was this Michael knew he was destined for.

Fun Post: Groundhog Day – Jeep
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QgBRvMmWk4
Yes! Yes, I know Groundhog Day was over a month ago, but this video deserves it’s own post. If you haven’t seen the original movie – do it! If you have you’ll understand why this is hilarious.
Sylum Announcement
COVID-19 AKA: Coronavirus
I’m sure all of you have received many emails from a variety of sources about COVID-19. This isn’t one of them, not really.
Many of us are either working from home, staying home (some mandated, others in early precaution stages), and keeping social contact to a minimum – we’re finding a lot of time on our hands.
Just know that we’re keeping up with our goals of having a post go out a day, so you should have something to look forward to. Though I would love to take this time and focus more on Sylum I’m actually working from home :(. Though napz have been had *don’t tell anyone*.
So while we’re curled up on our couches, watching Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, those favorite DVDs that never come out of the player or reading some new books that you always wanted to read or that old book just love to read all the time – this would be a good time to catch up on Sylum! Read it all over again. All of it! Make sure notes/comments to the authors.
The Manor has survived many things in history, this is just one more thing to be added.
If you need to talk to someone, reach out on the blog to get a conversation going.
And guys. Take care of yourself. Wash your hands. Stay safe. Be kind. We’re all in this together.
The General.
Aka – Bj Jones
Sylum Inspiration: Kai
Oceania: Member
The little that is know about Kai, was learned from Marquis.
Kai comes from a long family line out of Germany (Dilios Note: My guess it started with a certain Roman General). He ended up in France, and in jail with the Marquis de Sade. He was rescued by Marquis and was told about Vampires and Mates.
