The City Apothecary

-Here it is, this is the Apothecarists`' ,
you may enquire at the desk ~
this CityService straddels both
the Old & New Cybercity >>
you can travel through the
spiral~stairs once again
to return to Ciba~Citi.
Or, alternate exit to the
OldGloomCity is
left, down the stone
steps.
~Tlalousa Bless.

the sump-city-level is here, the City docks Tow their galleons into the foray
of the Innercity-Port and warehouses.
down here by the Steps, a woman seeks solitude, gathering or cleaning
by the CanalSide. There are steps,
You may descend
somehow, into the Canal system beneath...

You look over the desk, in no particular hurry,
- this beaker must have been used for writing inks.
you look over the stairwell, and feel slight vertigo.
your heart thumps in your chest.
hmmm....
you scuff the floor and loose rocks
seem to ever so elegantly crumble away...;
You wonder the time....
The Mentor up in the castle Apex will want
those medicines,
... the place smells,
of dust, something sweet
odorous.
cantankarous
hmmm

Now, initiate, you, listen here & listen fast!
ou've heard abou the Gloom? listen thick!
- its a sickness. The sickness. From this life. a new change.
a new thing. a turnaround. from rotting, bodies,
idisease, its old. they say them too many people been
messin' where they shouldn't/ brouhgt it on. Ya see.
farabouts now its hard to fully cuere, as its a contagion.
its mtated and spread everywhere, almost.
everyone'all feel it a bit, but most are fine. enough.

well, ya need specific potions.
I'd take orders for , GreenLime-salts
All`ruah-Wine,
activated Rose-Petal infusions:
Ionized Gems.

"It d9d not take a while - but i'd knew you would come.
Shhhhh !! We are but phantoms ~...Jesters, amocked -
t oRun the city by Night. We the lost.
find it for you... when you need....
Shhh just remember us,
time is on our side....

There is some clamour as you walk under the celeste' into the foyer-chamber ~

butterflies, swarm into the light, as if startled, numerous tiny flutters,
brush the air.
Backalley ambience fills the warm air.

Dingy shadows seem to fill the streetworks from each direction.

A crowd seems desposed to be gathered. to check on their orders Perhaps.
they seem to be waiting, for their medicines or...

Here things have a different pace.
maybe it is the money?
the stonework has a lustrous qulaity,
no doubt the running of this place is a fine shackled on the city ordinance.

You ascende the flight of stone steps
greeting you, and walk into the Apothecarists.

If you are in need of Medicines? then the Apothecary is what we are for.
You, or another, may place an order with us,

"Yes. What?"
My'. Lady will see you.
From the shadows what looks to be
a MAtron, all sewn up into a Brass-sentinel being appears, as if from nowhere,
She slides, half-way thowards you,
arms at the side, and nods slightly cortesously.
"What can Thine do for you?"
~some steam and cogs whirr in her outfit~~
psssssss...
"the City Apothecarists' serves many clientele in the city of gloom"
I You'd be worth your while booking
over it & coming back,
If you need access to the Ciba_City, there is indeed an exit into the cybercity on the top floor of the apothecary. . We have a need as you can see to provide access into the cyber-districts and also the Gloom Quarter. Which has a entrance & exit to & from on the lower level of this Apothecary.
Proud are we to provide this level of service to the city-disticts: Since Mellow-Year 283 * * *
