#weeeeeeew. that took way too long lol.

[depmode]

tagged by @josiesruffles and @fenrelmercar so long ago im not even going to think about it lmao. this was interesting, kind of hard honestly! i don't know if there is anyone that hasn't done this one by now? if you haven't, doooo it!

Rules: Choose 10 objects that you will place in the room of your Rooks on the places intended for customization. These should be small objects that can be placed in the following places: 2 on the tables by the doors, 2 on the tables by the aquarium, 4 on the bookcases and 2 on the walls. Attach a photo of these objects and give a short description of why your Rooks chose them.

nice little things: sasha edition

Front tables:

Pile of books: when sasha finds an interesting book that he is totally gonna read one day, it gets drop off on the table as he enters his room. it turns to a game of sorts, keeping it from toppling and seeing how high it can go. he manages to get high enough he can barely add more to the stack. then he realizes he played himself because he's the one who has to get them all down lol.

Pile of jewelry: the other thing that often gets dumped as soon as he is back in his room is jewelry. rings, bracelets, necklaces, hair jewelry, all sorts. yes, it spills off of the table often, and no, sasha doesn't always bother to pick it up. and then he has to untangle all that shit when he wants something. played himself x2.

Back tables:

Makeup stuff: maybe if the lighthouse had a BATHROOM he would put this there, put alas. all his various powders and liquids and brushes live inside a chaotically unorganized state that sasha can somehow always find exactly what he needs in it. there would also be a big mirror stored close by that he could sit in front of to do his face.

Wine. One glass. that's it. the team starts keeping a not so secret eye on it, both making sure it doesn't get empty and that sasha is not going through it at an alarming rate lol.

Bookshelves:

His first set of basic surgery tools: received as a gift when he became an official mourn watch member. buuuuut never really used. this is a tongue in cheek kind of keepsake; scalpels dull pretty quick, things break, there is no such thing as a "set" that will survive long lol. they live in a pretty black leather pouch with the MW symbol on it.

Potted plant from Arlathan: sasha isn't the nature sort, but he didn't have access to much of it for most of his life. in spite of the stuff that tries to kill you, he likes Arlathan; it's beautiful and peaceful (when the aforementioned killing is not happening), and great fun to run around exploring. he asked bellara for help because he didn't want to take anything he shouldn't or that would die in a pot. one night he gets drunk and decides its name is Vestibulocochlear because it's a very funny word to say. even moreso when you are sauced out of your mind. mostly he calls her Vesta.

Box of stuff: odds and ends useable for various arts and crafts activities. drawing, needlework, beading, a few bits of colored glass, lots of scraps and strings and mysterious things rolling around the bottom. likely does not at any time contain enough materials for a whole project of some sort, but it's not like he actually has time for that shit. having the box present lets there be a nice "one day" delusion going on.

Several vertebrae on a leather cord with decorative baubles: a gift, of sorts, from a long time lover and patron of the necropolis. she knew sasha since he was born and watched him grow up somewhat over the years too. their relationship was not quite family but something fond. when she died she donated various parts of her body to different things; sasha was one of few who she allowed to take something for private use. he picked 3 and turned it into a necklace. he never plans to wear it (it would be weird and heavy and clunky anyway.)

Walls:

A woven tapestry that reads Anything As Universal As Death Must Be A Blessing: this is the sasha version of the "hang in there" cat. motivational poster.

Four frames arranged in a small square formation: the frames hold somewhat rough but carefully done sketches of different bodily systems, unlabeled; skeletal, respiratory, heart, and brain. sasha drew them :) but he's a loser who never tells people that.
