Being a creature of somewhat vampiric nature, Scarlett's age is more than a little mysterious. Perhaps she's a sprightly 24. Perhaps she's much, much older. A total mystery to all concerned, save for Scarlett. And no proper gentleman asks a woman's age.

As for the city of Bon Bon, itself, I can help you much more. It is in the Kingdom of Italy, Ms. Vanessa's home, in the mountains near the border of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If my knowledge of geography serves me well, the nearest major Italian city is Venice to the southwest. To the northeast a fair ways is the great city of Vienna, capital of the Empire and one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities of the day. Feel free if to correct me if I'm mistaken, though, any of you who know better.

Reminds me... I ought to get to work on my own little project...

That all sounds about right, Doktor, but I, for some reason, was under the impression that Bon Bon resided on the Austrian side of the mountains. I could'nt say why.

Kommy is right in everything, congratulations!
Scarlett's castle isn't far from Bon Bon, but at least one day of travel divides the Delight Castle from the "Dark Castle". The castle is truly old, more than you could imagine!
Incidentally this is the cue for the start of the story about Scarlett that you'll read!

The dark castle sounds very interesting.Wonder of Scarlett would like to have a gothic pipe organ installed in it?

[duo2nd]

Every evil castle needs a scary music. So why an organ?

[Ashton Gray]

I remember reading one of the many Frankenstein and Dracula books and seeing a referance to an organ in both. It was a very long time ago so I hope you'll forgive me if I fail to remember the exact names of the books.

The organ certainly is a prominent instrument in that story, movie and otherwise, though the latest remake is oddly missing an organ. The organ itself, I mean, not its music.

I think a lot of it is due to modern society's impression of the organ as scary.In the time of Pleasure Bon Bon,the organ was viewed a lot like modern rock acts are viewed.As a "recital" instrument.Organ recitals were all the rage,especially in areas were having a symphony orchestra wasn't practical.It's interesting to note that recital organs were constructed differently from a church organ or a even a "symphonic" organ(mostly due to the placement of the stops,the amount of ranks of pipes,etc.).I have books on their construction as well as a collection of recording of various classical organ pieces.

BTW Foxonian, you haven't voted for what you would like in the Flash cartoon. Only a couple days left to vote!
