Thijs's Quarters

located right next door to the big set of elevators so it's convenient to everywhere he wants to go and most of the places he doesn't want to go

#### front room

The deep juniper green velvet sofa of his dreams takes pride of place against a wall that affords a view of all available entrances. There's an extremely lush throw blanket in creamy white with a woven border of leaves on a vine that's been so stylized it's just triangles and lines, and three pillows, two square and one bolster for when Thijs wants to lie down and prop up his knee. There's one of those oval shower-curtain racks installed above the sofa, with lovely juniper green velvet drapes hanging from it, perfectly matching the sofa itself, enabling the sofa to be framed or fully enclosed as you see fit.

There's a massive gothic shelving unit taking up a large portion of the opposite wall. Within this he has a little CRT-looking tv set that gives a faint sort of color, and a Cadian DVD player to go with it. It's hard to find exports of Duyval media offworld, and at home they don't have Cadian DVD players so they don't put out DVDs, so his collection (or that part which isn't Cadian in origin itself) contains several Doctor Van Deuzit compilations and some shit he bootlegged himself by renting projector prints and paying off a techpriest to convert them before he returned them. He's only bothered with "the classics", like a particular serial based roughly on the Three Musketeers which has been rereleased every five years for decades. The Cadian DVDs are more varied and ephemeral; he puts them out on the counter at his office when he gets bored of a film and somebody will take it and watch it for him. He has also on these shelves many books, which he stores with the colored page-edges outward and the spines turned in because it's none of your business what he's reading. (See also: J's quarters.)

One section of the shelving unit folds down like a secretary desk, only to reveal a small personal bar within.

#### shrine space

The niche has been covered by a door made of a mirror-smooth plane of Shutten steel, which Thijs ordered custom-cut and pre-fit with magnetized fittings and hinges and such so it would go into this niche precisely. He then adorned the outside of it with his own hands and his engraving tools, giving it a large stylized aquila and a border containing a common prayer to the Emperor. It stays closed.

Inside it it's entirely black, with a list of names in white chalk on the back wall. On the appropriate annual holiday the door is opened and offerings are placed inside the niche. The rest of the year it's just there in his room

#### rear room

No Narnia wardrobe here, it's been taken out and the bed has been laboriously relocated and enclosed within walls with proper vented cupboard doors on them. Some of the empty space left at the foot of the bed is now the wardrobe space, with doors over it and tension rods hung up within. That not being enough space, there's also a dresser, and a writing desk, and a little vanity area with a mirror where he can do his eyeliner and fix his hair; it's all neatly tucked together with a very Vloer 1 economy of space. The front room is relatively airy, to indulge in the sheer luxury of space and show off a little that he is a rich man these days, but the back room is Thijs's room for living in when he's not at the office and it's a nice cozy space as it should be.
