When Heidi, one of our heroes, breaks the wax seal on the envelope you all hear the lock on the door engage and a soft hiss fill the air.

The envelope reads in elegant curling script.[color=gold] "Hello students. Congratulations on getting to the second level. In front of you there is a tea service that will be invaluable to you. Good luck to [i][b]all five[/b][/i] of you."[/color] 

There is a cloying scent of perfume in the air that grows slowly but steadily. There are five cups, on matching saucers around the tea service, which is silver. One cup is thin and delicate, almost transparent. Another is an ombré deep slate blue to a dove gray with clouds painted on it. An antique looking one of decidedly old China rests in front of another seat. A deep green cup veined with brighter green reminds you of a stone from somewhere. And a black one with a strange painted gold pattern stands out amid the others. Unique as the individuals in the room.

The chairs around the table with the tea service are a black velvet with gold embroidered brocade in a fleur de les with dots and longer stitches. They're elegant and sturdy looking. The upholstery is echoed in the two throw pillows on a comfortable looking couch.
