        <p>It is cool but some warmth radiates from the lamp on the desk. the room seems to be some kind of library and office. There is a blood red leather couch with brass buttons sewn into the seams. there is a desk in the far corner, dark reddish brown with white notebook paper scattered across it. the chair by the desk is old fashioned looking, also dark reddish brown with a green backing in three parts like a spreading fan. there are armrests on the chair and also very old looking brass wheels. the walls are lined with bookshelves that contain hundreds of books apiece, each one seems to be either blue, red, green, or Brown, simple leather coverings with gold trim, some with red ribbons for bookmarks. The carpet is red with gold colored lines in fancy formal patterns like interconnecting gold seashells, while it is also dotted with small specks of blue and green. There is a fireplace in the far wall.  old fashioned, dark mahogany mantle. the fire is blazing, but the room still seems cool, as if there were a draft.</p>

    <addl>Note also the subject seems torn between describing the room as cold and warm. Certain objects radiate warmth (the lamp, the fireplace) but the majority of the descriptions seem cold, strict, austere.</addl>

        <p>The forest is filed with enormous towering trees that seem to touch the sky. it appears they are pines and some sort of towering rain forest trees. they are thick enough to block out much of the sun, making it feel like a cool dusk. there are also many smaller trees and bushes growing on the ground, not allowing me to see any farther than twenty feet in any direction.</p>

        <p>the path could fit three men abreast, and thigh it appears to be straight for the next twenty feet or so, i get the sense that at the end of my field of vision it begins winding. The path is little more than a path of moist brown leaves decomposing on the ground, not well traveled or easily visible unless you are on the path.</p>

        <p>It is a natural waterfall carved into a grey rock face very high up. the water appears to be white as it runs down the cliff face and into the small river below. It is not very noisy and the sound is quite soothing as it melts into ones ears. the water in the river at the bottom is cold and clear, you can see the reflections against it in the middle, and you can see through it to the bottom of the tiny riverbed where the water meets the shore.</p>

        <p>It is a dull forest green drinking gourd, with two large circular bumps, the larger one making the bottom and the smaller one forming the top. there is an old leather strap that has now turned black, and is worn thin. it is about half an inch in width and moist in many spots , because it has been sitting on the ground for a long while. The gourd has a spout at the end of if shaped like a small train whistle, and appears to be made of brass or some other shiny yellow metal. the spout is exactly in the middle of the gourd.</p>

    <addl>Note the conflict in style here: the majority of the gourd is primitive and earthy, except for the brass spout. A touch of romance, perhaps, or a desire for the same?</addl>

        <p>the key appears to be very old, possibly made of dull gold, though ot is very dirty. It is a long thin rod with two, squarish pies attached to the bottom of the rod to open the lock. the end of the key is large and heart shaped, with a larger heart forming the outside and a thin gold lattice web filling in the inside until it formed a smaller heart cutout that is empty and can be seen through. the heart design on the end is also very thin, thin as a wire. it would appear to unlock some sort of secret and imposing gate,with a large wall around it, with something very old and valuable behind its large walls.</p>
