Winter RP: The Citadel

[shadowsong26]

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...

Sam rubbed his face as he looked at the report in front of him. He was five pages away and he couldn't think of a way to wrap it up without repeating himself or writing how much he hated this paper. He leaned back against his chair and placed an arm over his eyes. "Ed!"

When he didn't hear anything Sam got up and opened the door to his office. However, he noticed he wasn't in his hallway or even his home. Sam blinked in surprise at the solid glass planes as he walked around in his slippers. Wherever he ended up it was a very beautiful place. It still didn't help him figure out his location. Maybe he could just wander around a little bit. It was much better than poking at his paper.

Molly really liked the way her new shoes sounded when she walked down the hallway. Bright blue, mock suede, they added a much-needed five and a half inches to her height, and provided a pop of color in her outfit, an otherwise sedate jeans, black tank top, and leather jacket. Little too casual for work, but she could probably get away with the heels, if she wore something more professional up top...

She was daydreaming about the outfits she might put together when the sound of her heels changed, and she looked up to find herself in a room made of glass. Because that wasn't weird at all.

"What the frick?"

...her dad taught preschool, okay, the children of a preschool teacher learned weird swearwords.

Sam looked over at the woman who appeared in the room next to him. For a second he thought Ed appeared with him, but it wasn't him. Still, she looked approachable, he walked over to her and gave a small wave.

"Um, hello, do you have any idea where we are?"

He hoped she didn't find it strange that he was in his slippers and looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep in a few days.

"Uh, no," Molly said, and looked at the guy next to her-- cute enough, she guessed. "Someplace they really like glass, I guess."
