The Forest is a room. "The forest you find yourself in is almost surreal, not quite tangible but there all the same. Its dark- so dark you shouldn't be able to see, yet still you do. Presently, you are in a clearing that bodes a silvery, still lake that reflects the stars above; as above so below. A single path leads out of the clearing, into the definitely black abyss of the dense forest, its bearing is due North. Why were you here again?"
The description of the lake is "As a mirror, tantalizing, but the chill wind proves too much and you decide against swimming."

The Second Clearing is a room. The second clearing is north of the forest. "After having traveled for an indeterminable amount of time, with nothing but the darkness around you, coming out from the bordered path and into this place is incredible. There is an ambiance of beauty, of sporadic lights intermittently spreading across the dark green of the foliage. In directly the middle of the clearing, further North, there rests a perfect cabin, and despite all intuitions, you are drawn to it. Where exactly are you, again?"



The Cabin is a room. The desk is in the Cabin. The desk is fixed in place. The drawer is part of the desk. The drawer is a closed openable container. The Cabin is north of the second clearing. "Inside, it is oddly still. There is a prevalent sense of absence, though you cannot discern what exactly is missing. To the left there is a fireplace, livid with a listless fervor. There is a desk to the right, with a small lockbox glinting in the firelight and but one drawer, haphazardly carved. A rug with an intricate, yet delightful pattern rests below you. The rafters above are cloaked in the shadow of an endless night. There are two windows of negligible importance. North still there stands a single, solitude door. Despite all this, you know that the lockbox is the most interesting piece. Wait, where is the place? You seem to have forgotten."
