Rolo's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You fall through space breathlessly, airlessly, your heart skipping a beat. When you land, everything is black for a moment before you rise and see who is with you and where you are...

STARTING ROOM: The Clock Shop

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a room that appears to be a clock shop. Which is to say, there are clocks everywhere. Wall clocks. Cuckoo clocks. Table clocks. Digital clocks. Windable clocks. Clocks of every size and shape.

The grandfather clocks may be particularly interesting, for there are three total, set into three walls (left wall, right wall, and front wall). The grandfather clocks are slightly wide for their size, and their wood panelling is solid, and they have doorknobs with keyholes beneath them inset -- Essentially, they are three doors which are also grandfather clocks. (A quick test of any of these three grandfather clock doors finds them locked.)

There is a desk which would be reception if anyone were here to greet you, but they aren't.

The noise in here would be deafening if the clocks were working, but all of them are silent and unmoving.

A winding stairwell against the back wall leads both up and down.

There is a window outside (with a sundial placed next to it); however, a thick layer of ice on the outside of the glass both prevents the sundial from showing a shadow and prevents you from seeing out.

The temperature in this room is moderate and not particularly notable.


((OOC: No effect applied on a moderate temperature.))

[LESS INTERESTED IN THE CLOCKS, examining the windows justtttttt in case there is anything]

It is coated in ice on the other side. It appears to be an outside wall, but good luck seeing out. It's not the type of window that opens.

[CHECKS DESK]

THE DESK

[dramatispersonae]

The desk is a reception desk without much in it. It has two unlocked drawers. The top drawer contains spare batteries and what looks like standard winding keys for clocks. The bottom drawer contains a large pile of broken pocketwatches, some paper, and writing utensils.

Huh.

[looking at the rest of the clocks, maybe there's something there]

[dramatispersonae]

They appear to all be set at different times, though none of them are really working right now.

[odetojoy]

[WELL THEN, going to the desk :/a]

Re: STARTING ROOM: The Clock Shop

It seems to require a clock-winding key.
