==The Parlour== ''The windows in the parlour are shuttered, the light stained with pale yellows, blushing pinks and bruised violets. Lit with the illusion of dawn β or perhaps, dusk β you see: a room cluttered with stiff-backed armchairs and decorative chaises, set against savagely floral wallpaper in shades of burgundy, violet and brunswick green. A portrait of the Empress, unsmiling, hangs in an ornate gilt frame. A few visitors mill about, casting speculative glances at the Exasperated Butler while they pretend to examine the decor.'' <big>'''Interactions'''</big> {| class='ss-table' style='width:100%;' !style='width:15%;'| Actions !style='width:30%;'| Requirements !style='width:40%;'| Effects !style='width:15%;'| Notes |- | {{effect title|Write a port report}} <div>Perdurance is a jewel in the Empire's crown; where its favourite sons and daughters are pampered, protected, and preserved.</div> | <ul> * [[File:perdurance icon.png|23px]] [[Report: Perdurance]] β€ 0<p></p> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''Important matters '''</span> <div>The visitors are puffed up with importance and embarrassingly eager to tell you how they obtained an invitation to the Half-Light Masque: some through patronage or long service, others through less salubrious means. All are desperate to spend a day in the company of the glittering inhabitants of Perdurance: the brightest stars in Albion's firmament. For here, the sons and daughters of Her Majesty's most important courtiers reside in eternal youth and sophistication.</div> <ul> * [[File:perdurance icon.png|23px]] [[Report: Perdurance]] = 1 <span style='color:white;'>(if β€ 0)</span> <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>Hand your port reports in to the Genial Auditor or the Stalwart Bookkeeper at London to earn rewards</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Ambition: Establish a spider-council here}} <div>You wait for the moment when Perdurance's glittering debutantes, having finished their perfect day, pass through the parlour to begin it anew.

It is difficult to say how time passes in Perdurance. But the when the debutantes emerge again from their Masque, you notice that one or two of them are wearing decorated eye patches. The next time they emerge, it is several of them. The time after that, even more. Apparently it's quite the craze. Your sorrow-spider returns to you, its business complete. Below stairs, Perdurance now scuttles with spiders. They've have found a bitter servant with nimble fingers, who is prepared to knot them into a Council.</div> <ul> * [[File:well_purple icon.png|23px]] [[A Spider-Council in Albion]] = 10 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>[COMPLETE]You founded a spider-council at Perdurance</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> * [[File:pastscandal icon.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+2</span> x [[Salon-Stewed Gossip]]<p></p> * [[File:fuel icon.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-10</span> x [[The Strength of the Sun]]<p></p> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Talk to the Exasperated Butler}} <div>He appraises you with an officious disapproval that testifies to years of devoted training.</div> | <ul> </ul> |<div></div> <ul> {{trigger event|The Exasperated Butler||perdurance_ambience}}<p></p> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Hand your invitation to the Exasperated Butler}} <div>And join the Half-Light Masque!</div> | <ul> * [[File:loveletter icon.png|23px]] [[Invitation to Perdurance]] β₯ 1<p></p> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''Through the Empress, straight on till Morning '''</span> <div>The portrait of the Empress swings open and a succession of brightly-dressed debutantes, sour-faced chaperones and prim servants stumbles into the parlour. They barely have a moment to rest their feet and take a sip of tea before a panel of wallpaper slides open, the dark maw of a sharply curving passage just visible in the dawn light. The Exasperated Butler snatches the invitation from your hands. "Remember: your invitation only lasts one day." It is a warning, but sounds a little wistful. He propels you forward to join the Court in its procession. You emerge, a little tender, into the Morning.</div> <ul> * [[File:loveletter icon.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-1</span> x [[Invitation to Perdurance]]<p></p> * [[File:clock icon.png|23px]] [[Time Passing in Perdurance]] = 10 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>It is morning in Perdurance</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> {{trigger event|The Half-Light Masque: Morning||chippedmugoftea}}<p></p> </ul> | |- | rowspan='4' | {{effect title|Stand for Parliament in Perdurance}} <div>The debutantes wouldn't sully their perfect day by voting, of course.
