The building located on the corner of the street doesn’t look that strange to one who in unfamiliar with the city. It’s brown, and is made from boards of wood and small rocks. It’s a very ordinary building, with two windows on the ground floor and a small door between them. Another window, smaller than the ones on the ground floor, is located on the first floor of the shop. The shop has a small hacienda in front of it, with colourful plants and flowers placed on the corners. The faint smell of the lovely flowers can be smelled all around the building, and is even stronger at night, when the smells of everyday life are gone.
Stretching all the way across the top of the building is a large sign, which says in curly golden letters: Marcel’s Barber Shop. Underneath the large letters is another sentence, written down with black paint and smaller letters. It says:
Service and love to all who are willing to pay
The windows are very clear, and if one would walk up to one of them, he could easily see the insides of such an ordinary building. If one has the courage to do so, he would probably see a bright room, with a flight of stairs just in the right corner. Another door can be made out, which probably leads to the backyard of the building. A large table stretches all the way across the right wall, and has several chairs placed in front of it. The table itself is made of light wood, and looks particularly smooth. It also feels that way, if someone would touch it.
The floor is made of dark wood, and sounds hollow if walked upon. On the right wall are some mirrors placed, which reflect the place where someone’s head will be if seated. There are some cabinets in the back of the room, but they look quite ordinary and probably contain some functional items used by Marcel. Marcel is the owner of the building, and the only one working in it. There are several price lists located along the store, hung from walls and pillars to catch the eye of the costumer. All of them say the following:
Quote:
PRICE LIST
Shave: 25 crowns
Cut and Shave: 40 crowns
Grow hair: 100 crowns
Cut in patterns: 100 crowns and up (depending on the desired pattern)
|
If one looked very careful at the price list, he notices another sentence is at the bottom of the list. That one says:
No refund. The company is not responsible for mistakes and/or accidents that may occur during service.
If one would enter the shop, a tall human carrying the name 'Marcel' would probably come stumbling down the stairs. Marcel is a tall human, with black hair and a small moustache. His body is quite slim, and not very muscular. When he walks he usually walks fast on his long legs. He talks with a Jaedaxian accent, and is proud of it. He would greet the customer with a polite
Zerale, how can I be of zervice?
