The Whist

[Maskage]

Maskage enters The Whist and briefly inspects the furnishings, then grins with satisfaction.

"Excellent, dare I say not one molecule is out of place after the renovation?"

The Thanaticthus was recently refitted and upgraded to hold a larger crew compliment in addition to other facilities and accommodations, much to the Chairman's delight The Whist has not changed at all.

Maskage tips his top hat to the waiter, and goes to sit in the private booth which is separated from the other tables by a waste-high wall with a brass lattice going to the roof.

"Set out refreshments for three, waiter. Silurius and Thralios should arrive shortly."

Maskage begins writing on a piece of notepaper with a feather-pen.
