The Casbah (#1820)(an instance of Generic Secured Post-Apocalypse Room made by Ozymandias)It is raining and secure this day in Bellona. A spacious chamber, dark yet unoppressive, the air filled with a thousand scents battling for your attention, the Casbah is at once comfortably familiar and deliciously exotic. Beneath the stone arches, silken pillows litter the priceless carpets, low tables bear brass lamps, trays of dates and figs, flasks of fine wines, and a variety of rare oils. Through the great lattice-covered windows the spires and minarets are visible as they strain toward the sky. The sounds of the marketplace rise from the busy street below: voices haggling, laughing, singing, the chatter of birds, the clucking of fowl, the barking of dogs. In the distance, you hear the urgent cry of the muezin. Here is a refuge from the demands of everyday life, an oasis of solitude to refresh the spirit...and the flesh. You see Ozymandias here. |
