.Merchant of Sulport.


[-VELOX FLUVIUS IMPORTS-]

Near or within the rock-faced building that houses the headquarters of Velox Fluvius Imports, seated just a stone's throw from the docks of Sulport.
says to ALL: On the main floor of the office, I stood behind the tall counter at the very back of the building. Upon the temwood surface lay several pieces of rence. A quill was held delicately in the grip of my fingers, left hand posed as I sketched out the lines of my ideas. The feast of fools would be upon us before we knew it. The masquerade would be a grand event and the ideas for how I would mask myself would be given life. I worked quietly for the most part, the solitude of the office uninterrupted.

The heavy cadence of booted footfalls would garner my attention. My gaze lifting briefly to the door only to resume focus upon the drawing as those steps would continue. Light filtered through the large window at the front of the structure providing natural light. This reflected brilliantly upon the blonde and ashe wood planking that made up the herringbone pattern of the floor. From behind me, sconces upon the wall flickered gently, illuminating the back portions of the office in a somewhat softer light.

Carefully, I drew the graceful lines, holding my hand just so that it would not smear the ink. It took a certain precision but a praticed hand would have no issue. A sliver of obisidian hair fell forward, whispering across the wet ink as if unable to resist creating chaos. I sighed softly, bedding the errant strand around the curve of my ear.

says to ALL: The mask of each idea was the most important, the accompanying pieces would play trivial parts. The hardest thing would be choosing between them. The smallest of details, for me, were the greatest parts. Upon the rence became visible the linaments of my ideas. Eyeless faces stared back at me. Once the shape of each mask had been laid out, I then began to shade them in so that simple shapes became more lifelike.

A thrill of anticipation stunted the breath in my lungs. Sometimes, my own mad genius frightened me.

Near or within the rock-faced building that houses the headquarters of Velox Fluvius Imports, seated just a stone's throw from the docks of Sulport.
says to ALL: With the final details added to the mask, the three rough drawings lay before me upon the counters surface. I still had to decide between them. And it would be no easy choice, I realized now. The rough sketches lay staring up at me and quite clearly I could see each completed mask in my minds eye.

A mutter of frustration was held silent behind the press of my lips, the quill still held in the grip of my fingers. A small basket of fruit sat upon the counter, hooking the lip with the fingers of my right hand, I drew it towards me slowly. My gaze would drift from one drawing to another and finally to the fruit. From the small collection, a yellow pear was captured in the spindle of fingers. My focus held to it as it was given a gentle squeeze, proving it not overly ripe. The ivory of teeth incised the flesh delicately, taking a small portion away. As I continued to eat the pear, the fingers of my left hand played over the pieces of rence paper. Turning them this way and that, as if it might help make some difference
