inky says (to Floyd), "look behind curtains"

inky says (to Floyd), "open window. look behind curtains"

|
Floyd | Behind the Curtains
|
Floyd | Here behind the curtains, you have discovered a tiny alcove of
|
Floyd | stonework, hidden from the rest of your study. The purple silk billows
|
Floyd | out around you, dim firelight casting strange disturbing shadows onto
|
Floyd | the ancient masonry. Old memories rise, of hiding here as a child while
|
Floyd | your father worked at his books. Those days are long gone, but
|
Floyd | something urges you to stay and watch the play of light and colour.

Bishop says (to Taleslinger), "I'm operating under the assumption we don't actually _want_ that squawky bastard in our study."

|
Floyd | Study
|
Floyd | Stone walls, wreathed in shadows and velvet curtains, rise into the
|
Floyd | gloom overhead. The old oak writing desk -- once your father's, now
|
Floyd | your own -- is wedged beneath the window lattice, with a velvet couch
|
Floyd | before it. A low fire smoulders in its ancient hearth. To the
|
Floyd | southeast, a bust of Pallas sits atop an arch with darkness beyond.

|
maga says (to floyd), "x fire"
|
Floyd | The fire has burned low in the great stone hearth, and is now little
|
Floyd | more than a softly glowing bed of embers, radiating amber light and a
|
Floyd | comfortable warmth.

|
maga says (to floyd), "x pallas"
|
Floyd | The eyes of Pallas, Greek goddess of Wisdom, stare back at you from
|
Floyd | white unblinking marble, under locks of pale sculpted hair. She of all
|
Floyd | the Classical pantheon was your patron; though now after the horror
|
Floyd | your studies have wrought, it is hard to look her in the face.

|
Floyd | There is silence for a moment; then the soft rapping returns.
