The real Santi has just emailed me a preview of the house plan.  It's the first floor, and it really looks like a house now! I'll see if I can post it to you once he's done with it.

Well it's not really a unhealthy throat clearing sound, but whatever..
A proper comment?
Well, I like the Almerina character, matches the real thing perfectly again.
For Santi, well, I'm not sure yet.
I'm looking forward to see all guests together.

Thanks for the proper comment. Glad you like the chars. They'll very soon get together.

Since the story is going to get quite soon to actual stuff happening and to plot twists, there will be spoilers here if you haven't read everything. So if you don't want to get spoiled, always read the story first and then this thread.
About spoilers: It's very okay (and appreciated) to talk about stuff I have already written. However, if you can read my mind and realize what is going to happen next, please don't post that here, to leave the others their fun in guessing. You can PM your discoveries to me, and at the end I will give you credit for them if you were right.

The butler did it!
And I don't even know what "it" is yet XD
I always read this thread after the actual story anyway, since I wouldn't know what's happening otherwise. So carry on

Okay, I'll give you credit for it if it's true. But is it..?

I find finally me entering the plot! I was beginning to think that you killed me on the road...

I don't know if I managed, but I've been trying not only to introduce the chars in different environments, but to give new information (either environmental or personal) through each one.
Naughty Santi/Gijs thoughts are quite in order.
I can't write tonight, I don't think.. I'm braindead from a meeting that lasted until now. But I promise tomorrow as soon as I wake up I will introduce the last three characters: Gijs, Tsolaelia and Nico.

The plan is stunning - nice and clean-looking, very much like something out of "Cluedo" ("Clue" to all the Americans on this forum).
I adore the way you introduced Santi and Gijs. How subtle to have Gijs sleeping, so that his impressions come much later, but the reader already gains an impression about HIM.
I do like the bit-of-prissiness in the way you have written the Almirena character, by the way. Wouldn't it be a giggle if in her secret life, she wrote steamy hotly explicit vampire hunter books, and that the real reason she was so snooty about the Hamilton books was professional envy? *wicked grin* (P.S. - I am NOT BEING SERIOUS!)
The Santi character is most intriguingly written - very professional and intellectual.

Half-light, purblind streams where moonlight washes over trees / Lustred with a glow, as if from pearls upon the throat
Where the night's kiss lights upon her; rose's rhapsodies, / Warm as oils, imbue this bliss-fed hour with trembling note
"Where-? And who-?" Her breath's unspoken soul is light's perdue
That, hidden, seeks the unseen with a sigh… "Ah, L'inconnu!"

A note concerning the plan: up and down next to the staircase do not mean that those are the upper and lower end of the stairs, but that there begins the staircase leading up or down.
I felt I should clear this out, considering the fact that in America the arrows on staircases are usually pointed downwards, while on this plan, à la Europeenne, they point upwards.

It never crossed my mind that the up and down were anything else than staircase leading directions.
Your plans are genius. I spent a lot of time poring over them and reacquainting myself with the house. Your modifications that affect the plot make it more believable. And I love the little lines in the walls! And how you did the attic smaller than the rooms, and the roof! How cute is that!

Clarifications:
1. The Gijs character is overage.
2. The real Krss is not a paedophile.
3. Krss/Gijs is a plot point, not wish-fulfillment.
4. Santi/Gijs, however, is.

I like how you managed to present every character until now. I don't think I can choose a favorite. 
Thanks for the clarifications.

@ Almirena's character!! I really like the way you're introducing the characters in different environments.
