Venize Rosario's Cottage

A large, but well kept rose garden grows here.  Vines and colors cover the walls and fence, as well as the small table and chairs.  Off to the side, a window faces the morning and afternoon sun. It is underneath a thin willow tree, where a torn punching bag loosely hangs.  Light shines every hour of the day in the garden, and glimmers in the night time.  On off days, Venize sits at the table, basking in the sun, or trimming the plants.  The yard stretches all around the house, but this one area is where most of the garden stays.

The room is always neatly organized.  Small and spacious, a living area complete with a sofa and clock sits underneath the staircase.  A small, sleek and shiny piano resides just underneath a window as well, accompanied by a tiny violin case and various family pictures on top. A four-seated table is adjacent to the couch, where candles are placed respectively.  Up the stairs is a loft, with a bookshelf filled with pictures and miscellaneous chests and cabinets.  Another window faces the door, where Venize's bedroom and bathroom hide.

This barren stone walkway leads straight up to the garden and porch.  Nothing much has been done here, but Venize has rebuilt the old fountain and even connected it to plumbing.  At night, moonflower vines sprawl across the courtyard and glow brightly enough to see.  However, spiders plague the area. Late at night, especially during the summer, Venize enjoys lying underneath the moonlight, simply basking or writing poetry.

The attic is crowded, but clean and not dusty whatsoever.  Two beds, each meant for one, take up most of the space.  Nothing else but that makes up the room besides a basic dresser and vanity. An empty bookshelf faces the beds, and is nothing but vacant space for soon to be discarded items.

Hidden behind the door upstairs is Venize's bedroom.  A small divider separates the bed from the bath.  At a glance, it is merely a bed and wardrobe, and the bathroom is revealed only when the divider is slid away.  Everything is always clean here, the bed is made and the bathroom is never marked with hand prints.

After many years, Venize discovered an old library, left behind by the previous owners of the home.  It leads to another area outside.  Fiction and books about magic stack to the ceiling. At certain times, ancient grimoires can be seen floating above a magical podium, and some gardening books are scattered on the desk. Old poetry collections by Venize are also stacked on various shelves, and due to the extreme amount of books, the library will have to slowly be alphabetized, much to his displeasure.

A simple kitchen is the most appropriate for Venize.  As much as he cleans the counter, the room will still smell like pasta after he cooks.  After many years of this scent, he finally decided to let the aroma stay in the kitchen. The pantry is typically empty except for leftovers, cat food and cleaning supplies. And the room is left bland, since no one can grasp an appropriate design to liven it up.

Large hills and fields roll in the distance.  Small, colorful trees, much similar to Venize's child home, allow for running or exercising, or simply staring into the distance. Many wandering mages tend to pass by, often on missions or simple nature walks, but who couldn't resist the natural beauty surrounding this house.



(There are much less trees than this though)
