> x desk (@ Computer Lab)
You knew when you signed on for this assistantship that there would be a lot of downtime while Professor Thezh hibernated, so you prepared to embark on several stimulating new hobbies. Here at this desk are your abandoned poems, your abandoned origami, your abandoned watercolors, the first pages of a memoir...
Advent Door (2020)
> x writing desk (@ The Study)
The desk is a fancy little affair -- clearly the furnishing of the room that someone loved best. It has little niches for letters and a gap for an inkwell. Its paint is worn by the touch of a hand. But, like a mute raven, all its notes are gone.

> x desk (@ Lobby)
This imposing desk forms a barrier between the circulation staff and patrons. Many outdated notices and signs are posted on the walls nearby.

> x desk (@ Your bedroom)
The desk is dark wood, very expensive looking with drawers down one side and your computer sitting on top.
> x desk (@ Admissions Office; History Class)
Large, wooden, and ugly. It is identical to every other large, wooden, ugly desk in the entire school. The only exception to this is the one in Mr. Weatherbee's office. It is his pride and joy and the only desk in the school worth more than about 14 cents.
> x desk (@ Weatherbee's Office)
Mr. Weatherbee has a very nice desk. It is oak, stained dark brown, and polished to a glossy sheen. He keeps it very tidy and the only things on the desk are a nameplate, a pen set, and a large desk calendar.

Assignment (2001)
> x desk (@ Studio Apartment)
You think your desk is there somewhere beneath the massive pile of papers, but admittedly, you are not sure. You know, your desk used to be a lot neater before this week started. But, well, you waited until the last minute to do your assignment again. Dozens of sheets of paper are strewn all about, detailing your research. There are even pizza boxes strewn about. You really should clean up more often. Could the final version be in that mess someplace? You struggle to remember where you last saw it.

Awakening (2009)
> x shallow desk (@ Inside the Gatehouse)
It must have been used by the attendant for whatever paperwork might have been required of him. Just what sort of paperwork that might be escapes you. And for that matter, the need for a cemetery attendant at all gives rise to question. There is a small drawer set into the desk, which appears locked.

The rich wood still retains some polish, although it is covered with dust. It is only a tabletop desk: there are no drawers in it.
> x large desk (@ Office)

Babel (1997)
> x desk (@ Alexis' Room)
Like the dresser, the table is made of enameled metal. However, the bleak surface is almost magically transformed by the presence of few bright flowers in a small crystal vase on the tabletop. Upon close inspection, you see the vase glows with a faint blue light.

The table top is completely bare.
> x desk (@ David's Room)
The table top is completely bare, its surface tinted by a blue glow.
> x desk (@ Jonas' Room)
The desk (the only piece of wooden furniture you've seen in the station) seems to be one mass of drawers and pigeonholes, ranging in size from folio holders to pencil nooks the size of a dime. Usually when you imagine a desk like this, it's covered with books and papers and other instruments of study. This desk however is completely barren, all its drawers empty, on its surface only a fading green blotter which glows blue.

The Bryant Collection (2009)
> x desk (@ Family Room)
This used to be your homework desk, once upon a time. Before that, your mother used it in her small business. It's one of those pieces of office furniture that you assemble from a kit. At the moment, it's used by whichever of your parents wants to get a little work done. An old office chair sits in front of it.
Bullhockey 2: The Return of The Leather Whip (2019)
> x art desk (@ Natalie's Room)
This is Natalie's art desk. There are various well-done sketches and art materials here, which you would do well to avoid tainting with your grubby hands.
> x desk (@ Study)
It is large and painted a deep green, but with a lighter shade on the top. You imagine that this is where Mabel conducted all of her shady business dealings. [if sitting on chair] You can see a drawer on the right side. [else] You can't see much from in front of it.
> x front desk (@ Lobby)
This is the front desk of the hotel lobby, and takes up the entire south wall. Behind it you can see a number of pigeonholes--square-shaped, and arranged in a rectangle 4 squares high by 15 squares long, each with a three-digit number. On the desk, you can see a hand-bell and on the table behind it, out of reach, is a large open book.
Pasted to the end of the desk is a diamond-shaped sign with a photo of a key on it.
> x desk (@ Room 215)
It is made of a dark wood and is placed facing the north wall of the room. It is rather wide and large. Compensating for something??
Bullhockey! (2018)
> x art desk (@ Loft Bedroom)
It's painted predominantly orange, but is tattooed with a number of random doodles all over its structure. The top is occupied by some art materials, and a few of your smaller works. There are a number of painted drawers on the front.
> x computer desk (@ Living Room)
This contraption is far too complicated for you to figure out--best to leave it alone. All you understand about it is that you and Natalie watch television from the monitor, and she prints stuff out for you with the printer.
> x art desk (@ Natalie's Bedroom)
This is Natalie's art desk, cramped with all kinds of paints and paper.
> x desk (@ Back Room)
This is apparently where Mr Brockwood keeps track of the details of his business. There is a pile of papers on the desk that appear to be various kinds of order forms and invoices. There is also a telephone on the desk. A framed photo leans against the wall.
Beneath the right side of the surface is what looks like a large file drawer.

The Chinese Room (2007)
> x desk (@ The Chinese Room)
A simple affair, with black steel legs and a woodgrain formica surface. A drawer is stuck on underneath as an afterthought, like chewing-gum. What is interesting is what is on the desk.

Covered in bizarre scientific equipment. [if tube untaken, add:] A tube of black paint is sitting on one side.
> x desks (@ Philosophy Library)
Made of the same dull chipboard as the counter and shelves.

An ornate writing desk of fine stained wood.
> x desk (@ Estate Agent's Office)
The surface of the desk is invisible underneath a loose pile of glossy architectural magazines, manila folders, and real estate listings pamphlets.

It's a heavy, wide generic desk made of thick wood and metal. There is an outdated computer with a nicotine-stained monitor on it. There is a Post-it® note on the monitor.
> x desk (@ Tiny Windowless Office)
Calling it oversize would be an understatement. It's probably eight feet long and looks like it's made of solid oak. Stacks of paperwork are scattered haphazardly all over it. Someone was clearly in desperate need of a filing system. [if package untaken:] A package in brown wrapping paper is nestled amongst the stacks.
> x desk (@ Nursery / Carol's Room)
> x desk (@ Hallway South)
You feel your way down the hall slowly until your hand comes to rest on something. You can't see the desk, but as you run your hands across it, it appears to be waist-height, wooden, and has a drawer of some kind on the front.

The desk is clear, except for a framed photograph and a notepad.
> x mahogany desk (@ Library)
This tasteful mahogany desk complements the library nicely. [if locked:] It appears to be locked.

The Damp Camp (1999)

It is a simple, unadorned desk with a drawer.
Ditch Day Drifter (1990)

Dutch Dapper IV: The Final Voyage (2002)
> x desk (@ Study)
A nice, wooden desk, but nothing incredibly special. No secret compartments, no treasure maps hidden in its legs and it did not belong to some cursed pirate/magician who hid a chest of gold on a desert island. It's just a desk.
> x desk (@ Lobby)
Guests can check in but they can't check out. That sounds probably more sinister than it should. There simply is no-one behind de desk at the moment to check someone in or out.

The Enigma of the Old Manor House (2022)

Escape from the Underworld (2008)
> x desk (@ Torture chamber reception)
The old wooden desk is large and ornate, but chips and blemishes betray its age. A few of the Receptionist's papers are scattered on its surface held together by a paperclip. An ashtray full of cigar stubs occupies one corner and a telephone sits on the other. Next to the desk is a control panel with a numeric keypad on it.
Everybody Loves a Parade (1997)

It's 100% steel, weighing at least 300 pounds. Army surplus, no doubt. Work orders are strewn across its surface. In the very center -- in the position of honor, perhaps -- is an open magazine.

The Frenetic Five vs. Sturm und Drang (1997)
> x desk (@ Living room)
Lexicon's desk is covered with papers. Really, covered -- on all surfaces, because when he runs out of room on top, he tapes them to the sides, the legs, the bottom, anywhere. Even Clapper can't find anything in the mess.
> x desk (@ Your bedroom, in bed)
You can tell it's your desk, because your computer is sitting on it.

Gaucho (2012)
> x desk (@ Sheriff's Office)
The desk's back - facing the front door - is carved with a huge bust of what looks like a Roman Emperor, complete with a laurel wreath. The top of the desk is ringed with graffiti, in all sorts of scripts - but all of them spell out "Mad Dog Monin!" Most of the drawers have long since disintegrated, but one remains closed. Sadly, there's not even a chair on which to rest your weary soul.

The desk is covered in graffiti.

I Must Play (2004)
> x desk (@ Mezzanine (any))
There are a bunch of identical desks arrayed around the senate floor. Like every other desk in the area, the desk here is ornately carved with lots of scrolls and curly things. It doesn't have any useful things like drawers or pencil holders though. It's typical government furniture (expensive, gaudy, but not too functional).

A large green metal desk.
Interface (2009)

The desk is made of the finest trees in Kent, although you wouldn't know it because the wood has been sanded down to a nice shine. It's large enough to hold a computer, but said computer is currently being repaired by another small business.

Letters From Home (2000)
> x desk (@ Study)
The desk, obviously used by a prolific - if disorganised - writer, is heaped with documents of many types. Among the articles which catch your eye: a pile of scribbled notes, a couple of maps, several unpaid invoices, what looks like a will. A stack of folders, their contents spilling untidily, is topped by a card hoping that its recipient will Get Well Soon. Reference books - an atlas, a thesaurus, Fowler's English Usage, a well-thumbed dictionary - lie casually open, ready for use. A ream of plain paper, a fountain pen, some blotting paper, a few crumbs... the usual accumulation of literary clutter.

The Mysterious Case of the Acrobat and His Peers (2009)
> x desk (@ Yellow Tent)
The Ringmaster's desk is incredibly massive, dark, and proud with few scratchers. There seem to be engravings of ... well, something. They could be acrobats or very skinny cherubs. The desk has three drawers (the upper, middle, and lower) with tiny knobs for handles. That guy must have skinny fingers.

This desk must be the place from which most of the air traffic going into and out of this place is controlled. It is festooned with screens, buttons, and switches, but three elements stick out: a switch labeled [SBEPR SVRYQ or FORCE FIELD], one labeled [YNHAPU QBBEF or LAUNCH DOORS], and a large red button.

The desk is not used much, as evidenced by the dust piled high on its surface. It forms a half-circle against the east wall. On the semicircular desk you see a small sign.
> x desk (@ Office)
You wince at the neatness of the desk. All it has on it are a nameplate, screwed to the surface of the desk, and a glass pencil container.

Whitefield Academy of Witchcraft (2014)
> x vandalized desk (@ Mathemagic Classroom)
This was Gwen's desk. She's carved everything on it but her name, but you can still feel her in every whorl and whittle and obscene little doodles. Last year, you sat next to her, and she would hide snacks in here for the two of you to eat when the teacher wasn't looking. Ah, memories! You can OPEN and CLOSE this desk.

They're just regular old desks, made out of cheap wood and without a single decorative fish or ornately carved siren in sight. They don't even have drawers. Donnie Cantaloupe really cheaped out on this place compared to the stuff the guests see.
