Fanfare, Behind the Counter

[Fanfare, Behind the Counter -]
Beneath the counter, wooden shelves are neatly arranged with various goods, some in labeled boxes bearing markings from far-off provinces. A green glass bottle lies empty on the temporary flooring, the rough aspen planks cobbled together to raise the shop wares a few inches off of the soft ground. A pair of muddy boots sits in a corner.

A close look at this card makes it clear that it can be added to a book that holds and paints pictures of its own. If you put it in that kind of album, then when you remove it, the base of the card will show as "a painted card," though the actual paint and lettering will retain their original quality. If you have any kind of "quill", you can use it with the card to WRITE. You can also try to CLEAN and TOUCH the card. If you want to completely destroy it, TEAR it up!	15
