Burrow Sweet Burrow | Willoughby's Lighthouse

Willoughby lives in a lighthouse by the Forneus Sea which connects to a shorter building that's styled much like a home, however both of these areas have sections where Willoughby can relax. In fact, he prefers to sleep in the main lighthouse most of the time. The outside of the lighthouse is styled after the legends of lighthouses from the Victorian Era, primarily being made of stone and metal. The house is made primarily out of wood, with lots of locations for air to move through with the intention of the home being able to handle the summer heat of the caverns. Parked outside of the house is a simple bicycle for whenever Willoughby has to go into the main towns for errands and other such stuff. It takes him a long time to get there, so the bike typically stays outside on the porch of the house until his designated grocery run day comes around. 

Both the bicycle and the lighthouse itself were provided to Willoughby by the Church of Sulfur through a program meant to help Envy buns be integrated into succubun society. Due to this, the main door of both the house and the lighthouse have a metallic Church of Sulfur symbol on it. 

The house is one story and has only the essentials, that being a primary room for cooking and other activities and a side room that is used as the bathroom. The bathroom is also very bare-bones. While the wallpaper is pretty, having a floral pattern throughout, and the floors are a clean bit of tile, there isn't much in the room outside of a simple shower, toilet, and sink. The main room has an additional tiled section in contrast to the primarily wood flooring. That section has a simple stove, a kitchen sink, a fridge, and a cupboard. There is a cabinet and counter system next to the essentials, but only for about two countertops worth before it stops suddenly. In the rest of the small home is a kitchen table with four matching wooden chairs. Neither of which have anything too interesting about them, outside of perhaps the black and red cushions placed upon the chairs simply for the sake of comfort. There's a note on the table reminding Willoughby to find a matching tablecloth for the room- but it's clear that he hasn't done that yet. The walls of the room are also decorated with a simple but pretty bit of wallpaper, though it also keeps the room simply colored without too much change. The lights are primary oil lanterns, but it fits along with the rest of the room's image just fine. 

The windows in the house have the ability to be shut tight, but often aren't during the summer months in favor of keeping them open and allowing air to pass through the house uninterrupted. However, when the winter rolls around and the air becomes cold, they can be latched up so that no air can go in or out, creating natural heat in the house. Additionally, the windows have fabric curtains, being a dull but noticeable red, standing out from the off-white wallpaper.

Through a pair of curtains is the walkway to the bottom floor of the lighthouse, where the atmosphere changes entirely. While the house-like section of the building was as minimal as possible, the lighthouse is a place of great excess by comparison. On the bottom floor is a large red and gold carpet on the floor, which matches with the red couch that is placed to sit in front of the stone fireplace. The fireplace is functional, the smoke from the fire going out of the lighthouse through a modified ventilation system that was entirely created so that the building could have a fireplace for aesthetic purposes. Next to the fireplace is assorted paintings and drawings, the material ranges from charcoal on canvas to some experimental media such as coffee paintings. The content of the paintings are primarily portraits of Willoughby and sketches of monsters from various horror books. The ground next to the fireplace has a small box meant for firewood, and a metal rack to place tools to stoke the fire. Outside of that, the room is very empty- though it looks a lot more full than it is due to the books and letters that often litter the floor. WIlloughby never seems to mind them, so some wonder if the envy bun placed the books there on purpose. 

The way up to the next floors is through a spiral staircase that is placed in a way so that it goes directly upwards- having landings for all additional floors before eventually stopping at the top of the lighthouse. The next floor up is Willoughby's writing room,  which could be discovered easily due to the large desk at the edge of the room. The typewriter that sat upon it looked well taken care of, almost as if Willoughby polished the keys and repainted the letters on them every day. Outside of the desk, there were bookshelves lining the entire room, all of the books across the shelves were organized by book size, color, AND Alphabetically all at the same time. It was no surprise that Willoughby was a stickler for books, he was an author after all, but nobody had ever known him well enough to understand just how seriously he took book organization. They were also placed in such a way to where he could read the titles of the books from a glance, the golden words of the bindings shining as they pointed out from the shelves towards one of the many lanterns lit in this room. The floor of this room was carpeted, and much cleaner than the room before it, giving some merit to the idea that Willoughby only allowed his lighthouse to get messy when he believed it looked better that way. 

On the next floor up was Willoughby's bedroom. It was at the point of the lighthouse where the area was getting cramped, but it worked well seeing as the majority of the time in this area would be spent laying down. The bed itself was small, but well-decorated. The pillows and blanket were both a warm purple with gold accents embroidered across it. Sitting on the bed is also a small plush version of a Thulu imp, seemingly homemade due to the shoddy stitchwork that was obviously done by someone without experience. Next to the bed was a small bookshelf with only two compartments. There weren't many books in the shelf either, leaving a lot of open space where some of the books could easily tip over. The books in this shelf looked to be closer to diaries than anything else. There were no titles, and if you looked closely, there was a small collection of pens that was placed on top of the shelf. 

The last floor was, of course, the light of the lighthouse. Due to the size of the light, not much else could fit in the space. In fact, some succubuns most likely could not occupy the space while in doll form, which was required in order to handle some of the more complex mechanisms. Willoughby, thankfully, is one such succubun that is scrawny enough in doll form to navigate around the small area of space between the light and the glass paneling of the upper floor. There's small notes placed on some of the glass, all of them going over various things regarding the use of the lighthouse. It seemed that Willoughby was worried about forgetting how to work the light in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation. Which was quite understandable. 

Even if he lived here, he also worked here, and seeing as the Forneus Sea was a cavern, there were plenty of rocks that came out of the water and threatened to destroy any boats that came by.
