The room must contain a [TABLE], [BED], [CHAIR], [MATERIAL]-paneled walls, [DESK]/[MAP]. 2. Room description must be 510 characters or less. 3. Room MAY reference Sunlight/moon light, but room descriptions should not change beyond that. 4. Do not FILL the [ ] with an actual description beyond TABLE, BED, CHAIR..etc. Example of a Submission. 1. Sun/moonlight filters through a large, glass-paned window, illuminating [MAP] spread out on [TABLE] in the center of the cabin. A logbook lies open on [BED] near [CHAIR] piled with freshly laundered garments. Nautical charts are tacked to the [MATERIAL]-paneled walls, all scribbled with illegible handwriting, one drawn with a giant sea monster. OR 1. Freshly made with clean linens, [BED] stretches out beneath a clear glass-paned window at the rear of the cabin. A lantern flickers atop [TABLE] stacked with books, empty teacups, and nautical charts. [MAP] is framed upon a [MATERIAL]-paneled wall above [CHAIR], its seat occupied by a three-legged tabby cat.

Sun/moonlight filters through the windows that make up three of the walls at one end of the cabin. [BED] sits centered in this portion of the room, providing a constant view of the passing sights. [MATERIAL]-paneled walls create a cozy space at the opposite end of the room, where [TABLE] and [CHAIR] have been incorporated into a fortress of cotton blankets and flyrsilk-covered pillows. [MAP] peeks out from beneath a metal pail containing a questionable substance just inside the makeshift structure.
Disheveled and disarrayed, [BED] rests slightly askew near the center of one of the [MATERIAL]-paneled walls, perfectly framing the scene. Half-empty bottles and mugs of cold tea adorn the landscape while books and papers appear to have been scattered randomly. [CHAIR] sits abandoned some distance away from [TABLE], which rocks gently on its uneven legs. Mostly reassembled, the torn remains of [MAP] dominate its surface, with some gaps. A stray gleam reveals a pair of beady eyes peering from overhead.
The heavy silk drapes surrounding [BED] are pulled back by tasseled cord allowing for an unimpeded view across the cabin to the curvilinear glass-paned windows. Hanging at varying heights from a low overhead beam, three golden nautilus shell lanterns illuminate [MAP] on [TABLE] currently cluttered with an assortment of maritime instruments. [CHAIR] is pushed up against one of [MATERIAL]-paneled walls and sits beneath a display of jade-hilted cutlasses and lotus silk fans.
A river of near-empty bottles fail to remain hidden beneath [BED], the stench of cheap ale clinging to the stale air. A [TABLE] finds perch against [MATERIAL]-paneled walls in one corner under blackened portholes where sunlight/moonlight struggle to pierce through. On [TABLE] are tattered debt notes, tooth-marred wooden coins and [MAP] held in place with several rusted daggers. At the center of the mess is [CHAIR] facing the only way in and out, a loaded crossbow resting at its feet.
A monochrome stained glass window detailing crashing waves casts the sunlight in a dreary luridness across the quarters. The dim glow reflects the watchful eyes of a crow perched in the rafters suspending [BED] from thick white silken ropes. A [MATERIAL]-paneled wall of shelves houses myriad tomes and books amongst bottles of strange potions, while creating a discreet nook for [TABLE] and [CHAIR]. Jars of plumed quills are neatly organized around a thick vellum [MAP] marked by runic patterns in varying size.
A worn woolen quilt is draped casually over the [CHAIR] sitting next to a book-laden table resting beneath a small window. A patinaed copper lamp with faceted glass panes hangs from the center of the ceiling to cast a warm glow over the [MATERIAL]-paneled walls, and a smaller lamp is hung from a hook over the [DESK] nestled into a corner. A braided cotton and canvas rug covers the floor, anchored in front of the primly made [BED] by a sleeping brown and white terrier.
Streams of moonlight sift through a white chiffon drape, washing the cabin with a comforting luminescence blending with its acrid scent. [BED] is tucked away in bourde curtains, the heavy fabric providing relief from the inviting windows. Tomes surrounded by half filled glasses of rum flank an empty decanter that rests upon [TABLE], [CHAIR] companion reclining against the [MATERIAL]-panelled walls. A stilleto's glint catches the external glow, tacking a [MAP] to the wall like a macabre art display.
