Exterior
A plot with a fairly large house was purchased overnight. The sounds of hustle and bustle hard to ignore as night became morning. Morning eventually droned into afternoon; the action had not ceased. Several caravans had been parked along the dusty road as workers in plain clothes worked tirelessly to clean up the house, the yard and begin preparations of what appeared to be the arrival of someone rather important. Men with leathery flesh and beady eyes--hardly local one would see. They worked with such vigor that by midafternoon the rather elegant porch had been repaired in a rosy white color, decorated with flowers and had a small tea-style table and chairs set up at either side of the rather elegant green and gold door. A maroon carpet led from the first porch step's lip to the door--trimmed in gold embroidery.
The men continued to work, washing down the outside of the building--which was a rather nice pale peach in color. Some of the paint the men had matched enough to give it more character where spots had worn or blemished. The yard was repaired as well with a little help from an herbalist magician who used a pinch of florakinetic magick to repair the yard's splotchy and unappealing look. Roses lines the path leading up to the rather beautiful house, a small white picket fence hugged the perimeter of the properly, quickly occupying the spaces needed. More yardwork brought in stones to work the back yard, where a small tea party set was being placed a a rather beautiful patio arrangement. Arches of flowers from Roses to Morning Glories decorated the perimeter of this patio-like atmosphere.. creating a relaxing atmosphere almost immediately.
It seemed that most of the attention, for the time being, was working on the aesthetics of the outdoors--ensuring that no one would be particularly unhappy with the arrangements of flowers and other such extravagencies. And now that the outdoors was done, the sun slipping toward the horizon--the rather shady-seeming farmer's sons would continue on into the house itself to begin the preparations from within. There had been no arrival yet of the parties they were doing this for, however, making one wonder what the purpose was for all of this hard work!
