Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manbearcat" data-source="post: 9548028" data-attributes="member: 6696971">A dizzying array of mirrors and mannequins asymmetrically dot the common room of The House of a Thousand Faces.  Lace hangs from the ceiling joists at odd angles and lengths, creating a shrouding and compartmentalizing effect that is either charming or off-putting depending upon the soul asked.  Mostly couches and lounges, there are a few tables and a singular booth set next to the trapdoor to the cellar (which is neatly below the booth's table and generally obscured).Upon arrival, there is some general hobnobbing to soft music, a pipe player on the corner dais with a stovepipe hat for donations, as folks smoke and drink on the lounges.  However, two things stick out:1)  A female Tiefling flipping a coin over her knuckles as a hand of cards unfolds at her table.  She pops it off her hand onto the table and it comes to a standstill.  The odd coin is pulled close to the eye of another player who scowls at the strange mint. "Foreign," the man spits.  She looks incredulous as she replies; "what? My money don't spend?"A huff and the game proceeds.2)  A trio of young people, 16-25 years of age by simple reckoning, lean over that lone boothed table in the corner, curtain half-drawn.  The former Cymril (Twyll) trivially recognizes them as younger members of the ever-fracturing Sons of Alagondar.  They're pointing at and shuffling through various sheafs of parchment while speaking in hushed-but-agitated voices.  Who they're talking to on the other side of the table is a mystery as both (a) they're obscured by the half-drawn curtain and (b) what little you can see of them is further obscured by heavy dress.A hefty purse of coins is plopped upon the table.[HR][/HR]What do you do?  Take a moment to freeplay some "let us (the audience) get to know you" talky-talk between each other as well, please</blockquote>
