The Atelier

A sizable ‘Fachwerk’ post-and-beam-style house of two floors and an attic. Its interior is comprised of an unfurnished living room, vacant dining room, tiled kitchen, washroom, four bedchambers with sturdy beds, an void storage attic and garden-side atelier, which includes a granite workbench with a sink and drain.

Pinned to one of the beams is a few notes from Angelika's notebook, fastened with thumbtacks, with the most prominent one boldly titled "**I am Angelika Thorsson."**

## Paintings

The Atelier is the principal workspace of Angie's painting endeavours and by extension her workshop - unless otherwise specified, every painting is 25 successes total, essentially making their quality equal to that of renowned master painters. The following paintings, with associated names, are present in and around the building:

* ***"Liberte, egalite, fraternite,":*** A caricaturist painting of a bottle of red wine being opened by way of guillotine to its neck, in front of a cheering crowd. The bottle cheerfully popped like celebratory champagne stains the cobblestone streets red. All done in period-appropriate Rococo-style soft colouring, heavily contrasted by the post-modern caricature-style.
* ***"\_\_\_\_\_ Thorsson, \_\_\_\_\_ Thorsson":*** A frontal-profile painting of a couple, an adult man and and adult woman. Both of them are blonde, the man with greyish-pale sharp blue eyes and the woman with clearer attentive ocean-blue ones. The man is dressed in casual slacks and a white rolled-up shirt, with a pair of professional-looking glasses. The woman is wearing a relaxed outfit consisting of a cardigan, T-shirt and jeans. Both are smiling, and great care has been taken to render them both in as realistic detail as (in)humanly possible, including crow's feet, skin blemishes and lighting.
* ***"The Lost Generation":*** A harshly contrasted painting depicting an androgynous individual dressed in loose cloth approximating a draped toga, with butterfly wings protruding from their back and antennae from their head. They are hunched over and elevated, impaled through their stomach by an oversized pin needle and suspended roughly 9 feet above-ground, hands clutching the metal pole that is the needle. The background is intentionally white and drab with attention being drawn to the colouration of the figure and its wings, helped by multiple rows of pinned oversized butterflies visible on each side of the painting, creating a corridor effect. The motif appears to be that of a board for collecting or classifying insect types.
* ***"Absence":*** A pitch-black painting that seems to absorb ambient light from the nearby surroundings. If stared at for too long, the observer may feel like they can glimpse someone or something dearly missed - like a dead relative, missing precious item, or simply a vague painful deja vu. **(Enchanted).**
* ***"Eden":*** A painting laid across the floor of the Atelier - the large canvas, framed by wood, depicts a green grass-lawn with frightening realism; to the degree that grass and flowers are literally growing out of the painting itself, alongside a sapling. The sapling is growing at a seemingly incredible pace, considering how recent the painting itself is, and is well on its way to turning into a full-blooming, if smaller-scaled, tree. **(Enchanted).**
* ***"Dusty Storeroom":*** This painting depicts a storage room, old and dusty, from a corner angle, with weirdly non-distinct idle junk scattered about it, with storage cabinets, shelves and a desk. Reaching into the painting itself provides no resistance, and stepping inside of it will allow you to move about the small room displayed, and store items inside of it - and look to the outside that is visible from the painting itself. Words do not travel through the painting from outside to inside, or vice-versa. Purely viewed from the outside, the paintings in no way looks different or strange. **(Enchanted).**
* ***"Fairest one of All":*** This painting is a rough flaky-surfaced oil-painting of a mirror. If touched with your index finger, and with a swirling motion being made, the surface will clear up and become a real mirror for the rest of the scene. **(Enchanted).**
* ***"Your Finest Work":*** This 'painting' is just an empty canvas, framed and put up.
* ***"Depression":*** This painting depicts a scene of heavy downpour and rain, back-dropped by a vague street - lit in stark heavily contrasting colours. The scene is in fact starkly alive; it is literally actively (and silently raining). If it is tilted at an overhead angle, it will begin to rain out of the painting. **(Enchanted).**
* ***"Springtime":*** A majestic, extremely well-detailed painting illustrating a wild, raucous party with drinking, smoking, drugs and love-making, all done in an authentic baroque style. The style is a trick of the eye, as looking at any particular details of the paintings will reveal it to be set in a modern 2000's scene, masqueraded from first glance by the use of colours and painting method.
* ***"In Peace":*** This painting depicts a woman with eyes closed, holding a gun to the side of her temple, with the other side showing blood-splatter in the vague outline of an identical person. A closer look might spot several small scenes displayed among the mess of bloodsplatter, depicting monochrome day-to-day scenarios and memories.
* ***"Us, then":*** A painting covered by a cloth. Hidden beneath is a painting version of of the drawing of the Motley, pre-transformation - with Anca having been subject to some interpretation based on her Mask, and Alice being depicted in her Alice form.
* ***"To all the memories":*** A loving rendition of a fireplace and a letter and envelope, curled up and in the process of being burnt and charred by the flames. Red-wax stamp melting and pouring down across the stonework onto the floor below.
* ***Painting x:***

( PLOT PAINTINGS - sent away for Winter)

* ***Winter painting 1 (25 successes), "Long Road":*** This painting depicts a snowy and windy landscape, reminiscent of the arctic. Framed in the center of the painting is a lone wandering expeditioner, dressed in brightly-coloured protective snow-gear, clasped in chain and dragging a ship's anchor behind them, carving a long trail of plowed snow and cracking ice behind them.
* ***Winter painting 2 (25 successes), "Another Year":*** A man and two children standing by a grave, lightning a glowing lantern resting by its side. The stark scene and grim framing is contrasted with the warm colours that might otherwise be used for a Christmas painting, aiming for intentional tonal dissonance.
* ***Winter painting 3 (25 successes), "Beauty":*** A woman of clouds, prim and proper, tucking in a rolling landscape of hills covered in spruce and pine-trees underneath a soft, gentle blanket of snow.
* ***Winter painting 4 (25 successes), "Sweet":*** A dollhouse and snowy yard, contained inside of a snow-globe with accompanying swirling flakes of fake snow. The snow-globe is made to resemble a rounded glass, with a cut-open top and a thickened bottom. A bottle of vodka is poured into it, snowflakes accompanying it (and creating the swirling pattern deeper inside the snowglobe).

## Drawings

A number of drawings and sketches are visible, pinned and put up, or left out in the open. Unless otherwise specified, every drawing is extremely well-crafted and has elements of realism that almost seem to transcend its simplistic medium.

* A bird with a multicoloured coat and a plume of rainbows, bursting out of a gilded cage.
* The sketch used for the painting of Angelika's parents - same motif, but more sketchy and unrefined.
* A drawing of the group, as pre-transformation as possible (old Evangeline, Caitlyn prior to the mask incident, Caitlyn and Theo prior to more changes, A self-portrait of Angelika - with blonde hair and blue eyes, looking more androgynous than she does now).
* A half-finished attempt at sketching a house, filled with question marks.
* A sketch of the painting Angie handed in for the art competition
* The view of a window and the outside yard, with a small red-painted and black-roofed wooden shack, and a tree. The lack of leaves on the tree, and spread throughout the ground places the sketch at autumn. A sun and a snowflake are both scribbled in empty white space, alongside with a question-mark.
