The Lazy Cockatrice: Area-15: The Grand Suite

The Lazy Cockatrice (Hex 0203)

Area-15: The Grand Suite


The Grand Suite is a large comfortable suite that, thanks to its position directly over the kitchen is always warm and full of delicious smells. It contains a king-sized bed, full-length mirror, wardrobe, and a well-appointed writing desk, along with the usual chamber pots and coal bedwarmer.

At present, the Grand Suite is home to Liza, lady Aria's Lady-in-waiting (see Room 14), and Paula, Lady Aria's protégé. 

Liza is a simple woman whose life for the last six years has hinged on flattering and calming Lady Aria. She is in a constant state of general anxiety and fatigue, accordingly. If she didn't have a family to feed, she would have left long ago.

Paula is the daughter of an Aristocratic family from the South who has a gift for music, art, and drama. She was sent to live with Lady Aria for an arts education and proper "finishing"; a common custom among Galain aristocrats.

Unfortunately, Paula is a better artist, better musician, and if she were not so pale and downtrodden-looking would be prettier than Lady Aria. Accordingly she has been the subject of a carefully played campaign of relational abuse, systemic gaslighting, and coordinated social humiliation by Lady Aria that has left Paula depressed, anxious, and riddled with self-doubt. Which has ironically, only made her a better musician and artist.

Paula may be upgraded to a pre-generated PC in the future.
