what if...?
The Study
The room, whose walls are covered with wallpaper and adorned with a couple of diplomas,
and whose floor is covered with a big Oriental carpet (illustrated with
exotic plants and animals (including four dragons at the corners breathing smoke)),
manages to give a cozy appearance in spite of being sparsely
furnished. An antique writing desk
with three drawers (a top drawer (locked, containing diverse papers (with
a pair of binoculars hiding under them)), a middle drawer (closed, containing
a photo album (which contains glue marks)), and a bottom drawer
(open, containing receipts)) dominates the middle, on top of which is a world map
(with traces of writing),
a table calendar, a pen holder (containing nine spots and a black ball-point-pen),
a family photo (which depicts the professor (wearing a suit),
and his family (which consists of his wife (wearing a red dress),
and the kids (twin boys, baby (wearing an overall), eldest boy, and a girl))), and an ashtray
(containing some old cigarette stubs, ash, and a crumpled paper).
By the desk is a chair with wheels and a cushion. A blazing fireplace
(containing logs and a grille) provides a nice
contrast to the rainy landscape (consisting of rain, town, and hills
-- the first hill has houses, the second hill has trees,
the third hill has turbines (containing blades and a logo), and the
fourth hill has cows) seen through a big
window (adorned with curtains, and containing a grating and a fly
(who is flying in a pattern)) giving west. The other prominent features here are a
bookcase (containing various books (including encyclopedias,
dictionaries, and a picture book (which hides
a quiz book)), a statue with four arms, and a bowl of twelve mandarins),
and a coconut palm (consisting of a trunk (with a crack containing
a small note), and leaves (including a small leaf with holes))
growing in a big pot (which also contains soil).
Behind the palm is a picture (depicting tigers, mountains (and forest)),
behind which is a hook (which when pulled, makes sounds)
and a safe (locked, containing a briefcase
(which contains typed documents) and a partly torn photograph of a beetle).
Beside the fireplace there is a door (with panels,
and next to it a LCD screen, a numberpad, and a light switch
for a chandelier (which contains lightbulbs and a socket
(which contains a piece of parchment))), leading out of the room, to the north.
