To those who may not have experienced wealth in their lives, what you see now may be a dream come true. You are in an opulentmansion with everything you could likely want. The grass is perfectly trimmed, the flowers and hedges are beautiful and watered and colorful.
The kitchen is stocked to the brim with any kind of food you want, with more of the hors d'oeuvres here and there. But the dining room has a beautiful dinner display of filet and lobster, with sides in a buffet style.
You might see waitstaff flitting about here and there, but they won't bother you. All they will do is make your stay more enjoyable, from refilling your glasses or plates, to showing up with an hors d'oeuvres tray, or anything else you might desire. Should you do anything unsavory, they won't care. They will go back to business as usual.
If you're tired, have a rest on the soft, luxurious master bed or one of the many guest beds throughout the house. Freshen up in the master bathroom or guest bathroom. Relax by the fireplace or go chill in the home theater (and yes, popcorn and soda will be delivered by any of the waitstaff should you wish it!). Unfortunately, the home theater is only stocked with movies that came out before three years ago, but that's okay.
Outside, there is a luxurious pool with a swim-up bar. A bartender will make you any drink you could want. Same thing for the upstairs bar. Swim to your heart's content with the waterfalls and fountains.
Should you desire something more private, a smaller indoor pool can also be found in the mansion.
Either way, what could possibly go wrong? This is the lap of luxury. Maybe you will run into AM enjoying these luxuries. Or maybe you will see him yelling at one of his staff members and slapping them.
Or... you may feel as if the entire room is watching you. As if the house is alive. Who knows!
B. Dominion: Intrigue
But not all is paradise. You might take a wrong turn in the mansion and end up somewhere that certainly does not look to belong. You might find wires and components sticking out or blending in, or rooms entirely like a computer. Now, you can try and mess with them if you want, but some of the aforementioned waitstaff will absolutely try to prevent you, converging on you and ushering you away, or even attacking you if necessary.
Or worse yet, the machines themselves will attack you. You may hear a presence as you explore the mechanical areas, as if the room itself breathes. A large mechanical hand may grab you and wrap around your waist, lifting you in the air.
AM himself could appear, but this time he's a strange hybrid of man and machine, wires protruding from his body, half of him seemingly robotic. He rasps angrily, mechanical hitches in his voice as he lunges toward you. "What are you doing?!"
C. Dominion: Dark Ages (CW: torture)
As you explore the mansion, you might take yet another wrong turn and find a staircase descending several flights until it comes to a large bolted security door. However, it won't take much for you to open it. You might regret doing so, though.
A long hallway follows, seemingly endless. But doors line the area, each one accessible. Unfortunately, you might hear screams emanating from each one. Of course, behind each door is a torture chamber of sorts, some more modern, some medieval. Some are empty, but some already have victims bound up, begging to be freed.
You could torture them. Or, you could free them. Or, even if you end up in an empty one, AM could appear and block your exit. Blood splatters over his clothes, and his eyes and hair are wild. A sick grin paints his face as he eyes his newest victim. Or... assistant? It depends.
D. Yard Duty
When AM isn't in his dominion, he has yard duty this month. Now, he rather enjoys being out in the sunshine, sitting on a tractor and mowing the lawn. It's good, honest work in a way. In his younger days, he certainly had to take care of his own needs and yard. But as he got older and richer, he was far too busy, constantly traveling and the like. His staff usually handled these matters.
But being outside is better than being trapped in the prison walls. In fact, he almost feels peaceful, even as he sits in the hot sun and pulls weeds. His long braid is pinned in a spiral atop his head to keep it out of his face and neck - and so it doesn't get caught in the mower when he's on it.
In fact, he might even abandon his weeding or mowing sometimes to just run and feel the breeze in his face. Incredible.

AM / Alan Masterson
To those who may not have experienced wealth in their lives, what you see now may be a dream come true. You are in an opulent mansion with everything you could likely want. The grass is perfectly trimmed, the flowers and hedges are beautiful and watered and colorful.
Inside, you come in to see a grand staircase, and to the sides you see more opulence. All sorts of fancy desserts and hors d'oeuvres dot the various tables here and there, along with bottles of any kind of wine you could want.
The kitchen is stocked to the brim with any kind of food you want, with more of the hors d'oeuvres here and there. But the dining room has a beautiful dinner display of filet and lobster, with sides in a buffet style.
