Hello,

You may call me Aglaea, and I am the proprietress of a bathhouse which will be opening somewhat soon. However, I find myself in need of decorative assistance. I have some funds for labor performed on construction, and I am also providing payment for certain items and talents. How you employ your skills to my request are for you to decide. The things of interest to me are as follows:

Moisture-proof furniture
Spines with no bones
A glimmer of hope
Whimsy
Something from home
A secret
A jolt of inspiration
Distance
Gifts for a friend
Feathers
Floaties
Something handmade
Heat
A spark of life
A painting
Beauty
An agreeable pest
A story worth telling
Romance

Interpret these requests as you please. Questions will be fielded here. Contact me privately if you find an item you believe suits my request. I shall only pay for that which interests me, and I am not prone to waste my time on trifles.

[ Action threads can be brought to my inbox, but any private texts can stay here. DMs open, akivili if you like, or bother me on my plotting comment if you're unsure of something! ]

( what is he looking at )

How much is the pay?

[ofgoldenthread]

[ A totally normal list of requests, obviously. ]

Modest, if you've a mind for construction – though the hours are limited. Pay for the items would depend, but I am not wont to undercut honest efforts.

How are those items supposed to help you?

The front lobby is rather dull still, and I'm hoping to add a bit more atmosphere to the space before the official grand opening takes place. No one likes an empty room. That is the bulk of which my requests are to assist.

If I must pick an example, there are some blank spots by the changing rooms where I think paintings would look lovely. Perhaps you are a painter? A purveyor of arts? Maybe an image burdens you, but you have not the heart to see it to a wastebasket? There are those who paint with their words, and I myself am an artist of some variety, but I find it too insincere to fill the space myself. So why not a collaboration?

As I have said, these requests are for you to interpret, and I find it more interesting to see what you will bring me.

How can a spine have no bones? Spines are made of bones. Unless you mean something like... porcupine spines?

[ 🤔🤔🤔 ]

[ Me googling if Greece has porcupines??? Yes??? ]

If that is how you interpret it. They do have a rather curious coats, but I think such a creature would be rather difficult to find in the city.

I would be intrigued in such an item, if you find yourself invested in this endeavour.

[ She just wants to hear an epic tale of porcupine hunting, ngl. ]

[savante]

They would be. And animals from the diffusion zones don't really make it back.

How would you interpret it?

[ofgoldenthread]

Acreage would be my recommendation. The countryside there is beautiful and I would recommend it if you haven't been.

As for my interpretation of it, well... mindful readers may steal my considerations for their own profit, and I would end up with a thousand of a single thing, and no joolies to my name. Truly the undoing of my own exercise.

( this seems more complicated than it needs to be to him, but cloud is just a simple guy with no artistic vision. he is familiar, though, with eccentric people who are trying to make themselves stand out amidst a sea of similar properties... )

Sounds like a pain.

( he's also unhelpfully blunt. )

I can help with the construction if you need another hand.

( and he may or may not write down this list in case he finds something that fits 'according to his interpretation'. which he might as well just justify as it without really feeling that way. )
