A. Respectful's Home, Villa Chi

Two above-ground coffins sit in fenced gardens, iron grid fences. Each coffin is 12' wide and gloss-finished. sand around each. The house behind the coffins is two long rectangles, with aspects of furniture visible all the way back. No walls, only columns, and one courtyard with a lone ash implanted in dirt.    Private spaces are the curtain of surrounding bush that magically parts and closes at arrival.   Deeper: "This sense of timeliness is not universal, just relative to me." This is inscribed on the two over-long coffins. Access to the sleeping space is free and open through a swinging door, but if A. Respectful is abed, they are trapped and locked.   This is the tomb and home of A. Respectful. He lives in two halves, lower and upper. As wide as a street with great bowed legs, but skinny. There is nothing pretty about A. Respectful, but oddly enough, it has never bothered him.   A. Respectful responds quickly, nourishes relationships, makes others feel valued. He is awake in the morning, remains dressed in the sharp, white lordly attire of his life, and involves himself with various crews who are constantly maintaining or visiting the grounds of his villa.   2d4 crews  
  • 2 two sculptors who hate each other, Prienaut & Bill Daggins
  • 3 d4 scourge wraiths, serving as cleaners
  • 4 Earth cultivators shaping the privacy garden
  • 5 Morgan Binstone and her lawyers
  • 6 Pack of elders from Drek's Landing, discussing mercantilism
  • 7 a pair of First Popolos visiting First Popolos Bausian, topics art or entertainment
  • 8 Carga has come to call and pay respects
  A small personal depression is dug in the central courtyard and left as dirt, wherein A. Respectful goes at the end of his days to drink the blood of deer. He becomes introspective and careless for an hour, then takes long steps back to his coffin, divides into top and bottom, and slides inside to rest.   Except for this time, A. Respectful holds a dry court in his open-air home, serving as business developing consultant, political maven, and storyteller. He has been alive since the departure of the Silt-Salt Sea. The First Popolos Buasian lives here as his consort but has grown very old and thus even more elusive.   She will ignore all things, or if she pays attention, will rationalize without reason why things said to her are more important than others. She holds veto power on any of A. Respectful's rulings for clients. A. Respectful does not show her enough respect.   He can be heard wandering the halls apologizing to her, "If I'm going to care for people and be more careful, then I also need to be more respectful" or some variation thereof.   2d4 renditions of A. Respectful's apology  
  • 2 (just lays down on the ground in front of her)
  • 3 I do care! You're my most respected .. what?
  • 4 If I'm watching you, you feel full, but I need to show I'm watching you?
  • 5 To be full of care is to show respect, yes, yes, yes yes yes.
  • 6 You are taken care of, but that is not the same as being cared for.
  • 7 How long have we been together?
  • 8 (wraps himself around her and lifts her and squeezes)
