rainbowlounge | Winter RP: The Citadel

It's late afternoon, just approaching evening, and one of the less-imposing reception rooms in the Citadel at the heart of the City of Glass is lit up by a glorious sunset. The dry heat of the desert day is starting to die off; the temperature sits at a pleasant level now.

The walls of the room are made of thick, solid glass panes, in deceptively delicate white stone frames. They are punctuated at regular intervals by wall hangings embroidered with intricate geometric patterns, in green and gold. There is a large, extravagant rug, woven in similar colors, covering the floor. The ceiling, high above, is more glass, fogged, and gilded around the edges to match the gold in the tapestries.

One wall is dominated by a pair of double doors that swing open onto an enclosed pleasure garden, with carefully maintained flowers climbing the walls and a murmuring fountain in the center. There are white gravel paths marking out four regular quadrants.

The portals are opening once again...

Oh, yeah, that was much better. Danny ran a hand over the top of her recently cut hair and sighed in relief. It wasn't that she minded having it long, exactly. She looked pretty cute with her hair really long, but it just got so irritating after so many years in the Navy. Pixie cuts kept it out of her face and out of her-- heh heh-- hair.

So there was absolutely no way her hair was causing her to hallucinate a weird green glass room. Okay.

She could've gotten mad about it. Before the Navy, before she met Nathan, she probably would have. Now... eh. Wasn't worth it, unless it gave her a reason.

Danny shoved her hands in her pockets and rocked forward on her feet. "Well. This is interesting."
