In the castle of dark spires and boxy houses, nothing is as it seems. 
The maids aren't really maids, the greenhouse is a wild jungle, everyone eats Mack n' cheese as their principal diet, and the leaders are fellow peers that sometimes put on a funny hat. 
Nobody knows much about the dark past that undoubtedly surrounds the odd castle, but nobody seems to care. 
...Nobody really wants to know. In the castle, it's normal for things to be odd, strange and weird, so somethings pass without question. 
Like man eating plants and monsters surrounding the outside.
We hope you enjoy your stay!
