DESCRIPTION OF A ROOM
The room is relatively quaint for a such a decorated soldier. Though, modesty is quite a common trait among Volivala's soldiers. Given his extended travels, though, numerous items still litter the living space.
Lying next to the entrance walkway, various linen and canvas tapestries gently lean against he wall. Floral designs are the most common thematic thread-but various other scenes are depicted, with some landscapes and more "urban" settings strewn amongst them. The largest of the paintings, though, and the only one hung up on the wall, is one of a interstellar scene: an angular spaceship, joined by an armada of many of its kind. Towards the rightmost point of the massive vessel, any inky depiction of an eagle reaches out, its eyes crazed by the hunt.
Clearly added on later by the bedroom's occupant, a small blue circle has been painted on the vessel somewhere in the leftmost third. The word "HOME" is painted next to it, but has been crossed out and replaced with the word "BIRTHPLACE"
The other tapestries are much less grandiose in their contents though. One depicts a beautiful plane of teal-blue grasses. A fire rages in the distance, faintly billowing smoke into the landscape. Another depicts a serene mountain top, absent of features other than the snow capping the peak, and the burn marks scorched against the bare mountainside.
On the other side of the chamber is the closet and general living space. Here, strewn about rather haphazardly are various cases-some locked, some opened-filled to the rim with armaments. The cases are barely labeled with terms like "SMITH-SHIMANO" and "KNIGHTS" for the most part, but some are completely absent of such designations: clearly holding weapons of miscellaneous or unknown origins.
The weapons are very disparate in their design: some being very antiquated and clearly antediluvian in design, while others are clearly very technical and almost luxurious. Most of them are swords or spears, but occasionally some ranged armaments are strewn among them. Attached to the wall is one notable armament: a longsword. The material is clearly modern, but the design is distinctly antediluvian, with the only hint at this object belonging to the interastral age being the emblem of the Knights of Elegance grafted on the hilt.
Attached, occasionally, to the cases are various printed photographs-a rarity in the interastral age. Various smiling figures are depicted, some in elaborate, beautiful armor, and others in sleek, modern combat suits. Regardless, all of them are clearly soldiers. Some of them still have wet blood dripping from their weapons and armor.
Notably, each photograph has one figure ripped out of them.
On the other side of the room, just at the foot of the bed is a table dressed with another collection of items. Various vase-like cryogenic preservation devices are strewn about, each containing a single flower trapped in the moment of its purest beauty. These preserved specimen are labeled too, generally with the name of the place they came from along with their common name. The flowers show a wide variety of traits cultivated by widely different xenoecological environments. Some aren't far from traditional flowers found on Cradle, while some are more odd and exotic: being multicolored, carnivorous, or oozing with nectar.
There is another flower, though, specially set aside, and not resting in statis within a cryogenic chamber. Though, it does appear to be in statis, of a kind.
