Wherein I mess around.

Current works in progress:

Feature Pavilion

The New Look Pavilion can be found in several major towns and provides a means of changing a character's features. As of this writing, there is no silver cost associated with changing one's features, but depending on the location of the change, minor wounds can be incurred. These wounds are flagged as obtained consensually and will provide no experience to an empath upon transfer.

Options available at the pavilion vary depending on race and sex.

Hair

[The New Look, Hair Coloration]

The canvas walls of this small pavilion are hung with carefully tied bundles of hair in a variety of colors. A vat of lye sits next to the pinned-back tent flap, but even that extra ventilation isn't enough to keep the harsh vapors from stinging your eyes. Casually stacked on a low counter are bowls of henna paste, vinegar, sodden ashes, and dark ink. You also see a really LARGE placard, a dye-stained barber and a sign.

[The New Look, Haircuts]

An old chair with a wobbly leg takes up most of the space under this crooked awning. A string has been tied from the side of the tent to a post stuck in the ground, and dangling from it are dull-looking shears and carving knives. Drifts of shorn hair cover the ground, forming hummocks and valleys of blond and brunette. You also see a sign and a stooped barber.

[The New Look, Hairdressing]

Here in the back corner of the pavilion a makeshift station has been set up to wash, dirty, curl, straighten, braid, loosen, and otherwise fuss with all kinds of hair. Jumbled together in a crate are bottles of olive oil, combs, ribbons and pins. Wood-handled irons are propped over a small fire pit, and the smoke has started to fill the enclosed space. You also see a sign and a young hairwasher.

[The New Look, Hair Adornment]

In this shaded walkway between the three tents is a round iron table supporting a jar of brushes and a few pots of dye. A cedar box full of bone hairpins and narrow strips of leather has been left right on the ground, in danger of being kicked over by a clumsy foot. You also see a tall pine-framed mirror, a sign and a bored attendant.

Height

[The New Look, Short and Tall]

Here inside the tent, the light wicker frame that provides support is just visible between the wool blankets used to help muffle sound. A massive apparatus bearing a strong resemblance to a stretching rack is dwarfed only by a device whose purpose seems to involve a great deal of crushing and compacting. Stuck into the ground is a tall pole marked off at intervals with red paint. You also see a sign and a stocky attendant.

Skin

[The New Look, Skin Care]

Wooden screens divide this large tent into smaller spaces, but they don't block the howls of agony coming from every corner. A raised pallet partially obscured by a thin gauze curtain rests conveniently near a set of freestanding shelves. Stored haphazardly therein are cyclamen roots, a bowl of birch sap, some sheep dung, a bottle of lemon juice, and a tub of quicklime. You also see a sign and a white-smocked attendant.

Eyes

[The New Look, Eye Colors]

The rivulets of blood trickling down the legs of a crude operating table give some indication of the unpleasantness of this procedure. Thick glass jars are stacked three deep, each one packed full of preserved eyes with their optic nerves still attached. A very sharp-looking scalpel has been left at the foot of the table, ready for further use. You also see a sign and a wild-eyed surgeon.

[The New Look, Eye Enhancements]

Lancets, needles, razors, and scalpels have been laid out in tidy arrays atop a narrow chest of drawers. A solid oak chair fitted with many leather straps is pushed up against the flimsy wooden screen. The sole nod to cleanliness appears to be a bowl of wine used to soak the instruments between uses. You also see a sign and a trembling barber.

Face

[The New Look, Facial Repair]

A series of shaped wooden frames with adjustable metal screws have been fixed at head height in front of a row of straight-backed chairs. They all face the near wall of the tent, where inspirational phrases have been painted in bright, cheery colors. A few of the protruding screws still show traces of former users. You also see a sign and a grinning barber.

Nose

[The New Look, Nasal Sculpting]

This small corner has been festively decorated with sketches of noses, illustrating a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The cheeriness is broken, however, by the display of instruments used to achieve these many effects. A chest full of neatly-rolled bandages and a basket of brown eggs sit at the ready. You also see a sign and a pale surgeon.

Distinguishing Mark

[The New Look, Distinctive Marks]

The strange emptiness of this portion of the tent gives it an even more ominous feel. The only object is an upright wooden box just large enough to contain one person. Its narrow door latches solidly on the outside. You also see a sign and a scowling guard.
