EGShop:A Leg Up

2014

a dilapidated grey wood building, Room 63, Lich #21401

[A Leg Up]
Hole-ridden and mud-stained carpeting spans from wall to wall, and the greyed floorboards beneath peek through the myriad of frayed openings. The walls, likewise in a state of disrepair, must once have been a rich burgundy, but are now a washed-out hue that barely falls into the red family. Here and there, scattered everywhere from the tabletops to the couch, are disembodied mannequin parts. Eyeless heads stare out from the mantle, while limbless torsos rest propped in corners. You also see a ratty lace-covered table with some stuff on it and a shabby staircase.
Obvious exits: out

On the lace-covered able you see

a mug of spiced orange tea

a cup of rum and pineapple punch

a bowl of ripe honeydew wedges

some chocolate-covered almond toffee

West

[A Leg Up]
The shabby staircase exits onto a long, narrow platform that is framed between a feeble, broken railing and mannequin foot-mounted wall. Protruding into the walkway, the feet force travel to the far side of the hallway - the side which supplies a straight-down, stomach-dropping view over the railing of the lower floor of the shop. Opposite the staircase, on the other end of the hall, is an archway leading further into the shop.

East

[A Leg Up]
The hallway continues on, thin and cramped, made even more so by the wall of mannequin legs that jut out into the path. Bent and raised as if poised for a dancer's kick-step, the legs are dark and stained, a fact that cannot be hidden by the wares upon them. The hallway makes a sharp turn to the north here, preceded by a fraying carpet runner. You also see the sparkling Marat disk.

North

[A Leg Up, A Hand Out]
Strips of wallpaper hang limply from the walls, faded and moldy, and bits and pieces of plaster litter the floor, leaving voids in the ceiling overhead. High on one wall is a display of mannequin hands, some shorn at the wrist, while others have a partial forearm. All are poised, fingers gnarled, as if clutching at the air or whomever might stray too near their grasp.

You turn a dingy mannequin arm.

[A Leg Up]

A wire-strung mannequin torso dominates the back wall of this secluded room, having been mounted high on display like a gruesome piece of art. The walls themselves are wood, though they are marred with rusty stains that run in rivulets along the grain. Tatters of silk mesh and lace are haphazardly scattered across the dingy floor, and nestled amid the fabric in one corner is a grotesque mannequin sculpture. You also see a display of severed mannequin hands with some stuff on it and a sliding panel.
