Packrat.

Some people asked what was in the storage room visible through the window in my quarters, which were open for the holidays last year. Well, that’s where I keep stuff that couples have asked for for their weddings, and which I think we might possibly use again someday or which have sentimental value.

[ Tvini’s Longterm Wedding Storage]
This room is piled floor to ceiling with all manner of junk and treasure. You also see a mammoth calf who is lying down, a well-built cabana boy, a playful wolf pup, a large ice sculpture of a playful penguin with a stream of ale pouring from its beak, a troll cabana girl, a net-sided crate, a wild jackal, a pack of feral dogs, a large stone fireplace, a wooly white sheep, a silky black short-haired cat, a black wolf, a festive litter draped with tiny bells and seashells, a proud centaur, a maid of honor coffer, a wrought-iron screen decorated with a pattern of musical notes, a gentle nightingale, a wedding cake in the shape of a sleeping drake curled around a magnum of champagne, a nonalcoholic bar with some stuff on it, a gem-encrusted wedding chest, a Rakash and Prydaen type food basket, a giant white piglet, a dragon dancer, a wide wood basin, a large wooden crate, six brawny Rakash, a highbacked chair gently draped with black linen with a portrait on it, (an unclaimed hope-chest), a rattan litter decorated with multicolored ribbons, a festive litter decked with gold and blood-red streamers, a sleek panther, a golden-maned lion, (another unclaimed hope-chest), a bevy of Prydaen beauties, a glossy black shrike, a broken rattan pole held up by two wooden supports, a traditional Rissan drum choir, a four-tiered wedding cake designed to resemble an eclipse, a golden ball and chain, a small mottled turtle, a huge stone hearth, a large phoenix, a heart traced in the sand, an empty high-backed chair surrounded by velvet ropes, a low silverwillow table with some stuff on it, a cloth-covered wooden crate, a cloth-covered wooden crate, an arrow-shaped sign, a chestnut centaur, a mischievous welkin, (yet another unclaimed hope-chest), a white unicorn, a sleek panther, a wooden cutout shaped like a Human man, a wrought-iron screen decorated with a pattern of musical notes, and a formal honor guard.
Obvious exits: none.

And the thing is, that’s still not the whole story. There are layers on layers. For instance:

>look in chest
In the wedding chest you see some rose petals and a tiny Gnome.
>look gnome
The tiny Gnome looks just like you’d expect a tiny Gnome to look – except for the singed eyebrows.

I have the coolest place. 🙂

    I think two of those items were from my second and fourth weddings.

    a well-built cabana boy – from Celeberin and Miek’s wedding.

    a highbacked chair gently draped with black linen with a portrait on it – From Xailian and Miek. I think it held a picture of Cassi Wuthering (last name?), whose player had died in RL a week before Miek’s wedding.

    But I could be horribly wrong. And I do not have the logs any more.

    You’re right, the chair was for Cassi for your wedding. I don’t have the heart to get rid of it. And the cabana boy has become a frequently requested staple of wedding receptions!
