Heya folks, if you’re here for an actual in depth description of what happened in this session then this is not the writeup you are looking for. If you want some chill vibes and what BB would do in the House of Wonderous Pleasures, then you’re in the right writeup. This all happened after the party retrieved the music box from Candy’s Factory and before they all left Sigil to go home.
Za’zymm, transfixed by the strange pixie music box and apparently happy with the item, eventually grants them all entry into the House of Wonderous Pleasures (not for the first time for some of them, but he doesn’t know that). There’s a brief pause as Ghesh and Bones, new to this place, take in the splendor of what lays before them. Here they can all do anything they want, and that unlimited possibility is certainly overwhelming.
In the face of this endless selection BB thinks for a moment and quickly decides that before anything else she really needs a healing bath, that arm cannon thing on the creature back at Candy’s Factory hurt a lot.
Casually walking down one of the hallways she eventually ends up in the spa area, and after some short questioning she eventually finds exactly what she’s looking for. After using the provided changing facilities to don the spa’s lush robes, her own battle touched clothes sent for cleaning, she is finally able to step into a room of nature and healing.
Before her is a large pool set into the ground, seemingly carved out of a natural formation of rock. The water itself is a deep green blue colour, steam rising up from it, and a number of large flowers and vividly coloured leaves float on its surface. Surrounding the pool is a thick layer of mossy earth from which emerges a single large weeping willow that gracefully leans over the pool, it’s long branches nearly touching the water as it creates a natural dome over it.
BB follows the stone path that leads through the moss and slowly descends into the pool, mindful of the few other patrons present who barely make notice of her arrival. Blue finds a small outcropping in the stone edge of the pool to perch on, the carved stone bench much too low in the water for a tiny bird.
For once BB communicates with Blue through their mental connection, rather than out loud in the tranquil quiet of the room.
Blue, I had a sudden realisation earlier. I… I think I asked for chaos in that fight. Perhaps not from my magic necessarily, but I still asked for it. Is that bad?
Blue tilts their head towards BB, giving a reply, before briefly dipping their head under the healing waters.
I guess not all changes are bad. Perhaps I can learn more if I embrace it, face it head on. As scary as that sounds.
BB slides further down into the water, till it just touches the bottom of her chin, and looks up into the canopy of the willow where numerous small star shaped lights twinkle.
For now, let’s enjoy this peace while we have it. Make sure the others are happy.
An hour or so later BB re-emerges from the scattering of rooms deemed the spa area, to wander further down the almost infinite number of corridors in this place. She passes numerous doorways, both opened and closed, with decorations and signs highlighting their different purposes.
Eventually she happens upon a doorway intricately carved to emulate a lattice of flowers. A wooden sign is placed on the wall next to the archway, the edges also detailed with carved flowers, which says in overly-flourished cursive ‘The Flower Room’.
Peeking through the open doorway BB sees a room with walls covered from floor to ceiling in delicate clay pots, each containing a unique cluster of flowers. Many she recognises, many she doesn’t.
A huge smile of wonder slowly creeps over BB’s face, her eyes twinkling with excitement as she mutters to Blue.
“Oh I think this is exactly where I need to be.”
