> PERCEPTION - MIMI’S ROOM
Having Mimi’s permission you scour the room with your eyes and movements. You can’t touch anything, but most of the things in the room are in a visible enough place that you don’t catch anything hidden in plain sight. As a matter of fact, it’s like the entire room is open to you like a book as you bear witness, not a thing missing your watchful gaze.
You see the SUNSTONE VENT, above it a small stone grate where you imagine MIMI puts her POT to cook things. In the grate you see spots for 5 SUNSTONES, yet 2 are missing, strange. Above the vent are several knobs reaching the ceiling, each one has a number attached and you assume it’s a manual control for the vents to each room. Maybe it’s to keep the heat in when cooking?
To the left of the vent you notice a DOOR to the outside, it’s latched shut with two latches and beside it are a few hooks to hang some CLOAKS. You see one cloak up there and it appears to be dry. But when you look down you see a small amount of moisture still evaporating.
Your eyes gaze to the right and you notice two SINGLE BEDS, the one on the left, closest to the vent has a neatly folded blanket covered in imagery of the LOOMINOUS ONE. You see something poking out of the pillowcase and are able to immediately recognize it. It’s a clean, SERRATED DAGGER, with ROCK CANDY encrusted along it, you imagine it's more CEREMONIAL and definitely worth quite a lot of beads. Above the bed is a small window with the curtains pulled open, you can see the FARM from here.
The other bed is also neatly folded, the imagery on these blankets are a bunch of TENTACLES, you assume this to be MIMI’S SIGNATURE, and believe this bed to be hers. Beside the bed you notice a small table with a book on it that just says STUFFIE ANATOMY, there’s no signature, and you recognize this book to be the same one that SVART had talked about.
As you gaze around the room, one thing becomes apparent, this place is practically SPOTLESS, it’s CLEAN, almost TOO CLEAN, like someone was OBSESSED with cleaning it. The LAUNDRY hamper has a few sheets in it, and you notice a basin near it with the various CUTLERY and DISHES, a small sponge made of PLASTIC in the tub.
Your eye continues to travel right to where MIMI is and you see around a dozen square holes, each holding bundles of PAPER LEATHER, CLOTH, STRING, and SEWING EQUIPMENT. This matches your perception that she is not only gifted in SEWING, but also finds it an enjoyable hobby.
You look to the opposite side of the room and see a desk that has some vials of ink, some pens and brushes made of stone and string, and a journal, opened to a random page. Underneath the journal you notice a small stack of blank papers, perfect for your task. You’re about to point this out when you notice what is actually written in the journal.
On the left hand side is a list of FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING, it’s been signed by PLUM, so you assume she did it. It says there that her total amassed savings from various visitors and after expenditures amounts to around 128 BEADS. There’s further calculations about TRAVEL COSTS and EXPENSES scrawled on the right hand page, penned in a slightly sloppier hand.
On the right page you notice several crossed out names, a few TRADE and CARAVAN ROUTES, and some dates that have already passed. It appears to be a record of the frequency that a CARAVAN travels past the STUFFED TAIL, that inn that DA CRONE is at. Two names remain uncrossed, the town of BLANKETBURG and the TOWNSHIP OF PINWHEELS, they both have a star scrawled next to them. But directly in the center of the two you see something else, it’s scrawled in a language you don’t know, or maybe it’s a scribble, you can’t tell what it is or means at all.
