====St. James Orphanage====
**Location:** New Orleans, Louisiana - The French Quarter

The St. James Orphanage is owned and operated by [[VincentBlack Vincent]] and [[RoseBlack Rose]] Black. Mr. and Mrs. Black also own and operate the St. James Hotel. Ms. Black, a devout Christian, keeps the orphanage to save the souls of the unfortunate children of New Orleans. The Orphanage is a two story building with a bell tower located behind the St. James Hotel and adjoining a cemetery and garden. The Orphanage is attached to the Hotel via a small dirty alley. Some time prior to the Blacks' ownership, the Orphanage and Hotel were part of a large church complex. The only part of the church that remains, however, is the bell tower.
The Orphanage was home to from seven to twelve children at any given time. The children all slept in the same room, on the second floor of the orphanage. The children's room had a single window, which overlooked the cemetery, but which could also be used to access the tower.
On Sundays the children are lead to <#kate: St. Louis Cathedral #> ++church++ all tied together with some rope in order to keep them together. They are sat in the back and prayed at.
After Church, Sunday afternoon is the only real "free time" besides evenings that the children have. They are left a bit to their own devices. They are however expected to be in at <#kate: 5 #> ++6++ sharp (if the last bell rings and your not home, you are in BIG trouble) for Sunday Dinner. The staff and the children eat together that one meal. The staff and children eat in a small side room, the Black's and the guests ear in the large hotel dining room.
