Bellum Letale

Apartments For Rent

VACANT. Raised by adoring parents, Snow White had a blissful childhood until she was eleven, when her parents divorced. Her father remarried, and at the urging of her new stepmother, he left Snow White in the care of her older cousin The Woodcutter, who was little suited to raising a child. Now a successful child advocate, she's come to New York to make amends with Rose Red, her younger sister, who has been a stranger since their parents separated.

VACANT. Momotaro is a transplanted farmboy that has decided New York is the place to make his fortune. He's a little loud and a little brash but his charisma is undeniable. Everyone can't help but wonder what exactly it is he plans on succeeding at, since he seems more interested in New York's night life than anything else. Momotaro definitely grates on the nerves of the more refined personages in the building, since he'd prefer a nice drunken fist-fight to civil conversation. He frequented Jack of Tales ' bar before the other man was fired, and he knew Glinda before she went all Paris Hilton on everybody.

VACANT. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS.

Premise:
There is an apartment building in New York called 'Bellum Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning.

It is a strange building.

Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated fable, the stories told to human children for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the fables began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place.

Now is the time - Bellum Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and long-held grudges, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Their Landlord knows their every move, and the building they live in seems to have an agenda of its own. People are tortured, people die, people plot behind each other's backs and sneak around and cheat. They love, they fight, they draw blood. This is not the fairy tale you remember being told.
