The Betterment Boutique, S of Entry

[The Betterment Boutique - 28514 - ( 8081459 )]
Dozens upon dozens of chandeliers of multitudinous sizes and designs drip down from the ceiling at varying lengths, with several hanging so low that they brush the ground. The majority of the chandeliers are fully aflame with light, save for the unlit handful suspended over the dead center of the area. Interspersed between several of the larger, more elaborate pieces are several hard-backed steel chairs, with thin, jaggedly shaped mirrors and tiny steel grates imbedded into the floor around them.

The Betterment Boutique, SE of S Room

[The Betterment Boutique - 28515 - ( 8081461 )]
The pale and dark blues of the tent swiftly transition to a deep scarlet color overhead, spreading all of the way down the walls to the floor. Twists of especially dark fabric, arranged in noose-like configurations, peel down from above to drape over several hard-backed steel chairs. Surrounded by a semi-circle of ivory candles, their wax pooling on the floor, a single gold-framed mirror reflects the wavering candlelight.
