Now is the Write Time

[Now is the Write Time] RNUM: 19780
An imposing mistwood writing desk paired with a tall, straight-backed chair is arranged in front of a large window, a rolling cart laid out with a silver tea set parked nearby. Thick with dust, the shelves inside a large cabinet are stocked with bins of parchment, stacks of note cards, and assorted ornate glass bottles. A fluffy white cat peeks out from a white wicker bin filled with discarded stationery.
Obvious exits: north, out
a gold-framed sign
In the Common language, it reads:

The stationery boxes on the desk will stack your loose paper for easier storage.  The box can be locked to secure your stationery accessories, and keys are found in the desk.  The cabinet is stocked with paper and various perfumes to scent your stationery.

In the large cabinet you see: a map-painted vellum papyrus, an ivory-stoppered smoky glaes bottle, a silver-capped dark green glass bottle, a cork-stoppered pale green glass bottle, a pearly glass bottle wound with dried vines, a sunset-hued glass bottle with an oversized cork, a rose gold-foiled papyrus, a piece of off-white paper, a piece of ebon-lined parchment, a sheet of lavender parchment, a piece of sand-hued vellum, a sheet of bronze-framed stationery, a torn piece of cotton paper, a sheet of watermarked parchment and a bit of crumpled blue paper.

Partially concealed behind a parchment screen, the polished hardwood floor is littered with crumpled paper beneath a spindly-legged escritoire piled high with vellum and near-empty ink wells. Sleek feathers and ostentatious plumes hang from the ceiling by nearly invisible silk threads over a small mistwood worktable in one corner.
Obvious exits: south
a small parchment sign
In the Common language, it reads:

The quills can be worn behind your ear for a distinctive look.  The inkpots work well with the quills, but be careful you don't smudge your skin after handling!  The cloths in the bin will help you clean up.
The envelopes are designed to hold your letters and small trinkets.  You can address and scent the envelopes-- and more!

On the mistwood worktable you see: a square inkpot of clear thick-cut glass, a stag-sculpted green glaes inkpot with ivory horns, a barrel-shaped amber inkpot banded with copper, a tiny hummingbird inkpot perched on a silver flower, a round crystal inkpot caged in rose gold, a pressed rose silk cloth, a fluffy ball of white cotton and a monogrammed white linen cloth.
