Rosalind Lutece shared a photo. 11/10 near Viea Village

Well. Unless someone else has gotten an entire house from Retrospec, I rather think I win. In bragging rights, if nothing else.

[There's a pause, and then Rosalind adds a few photos: these ones, specifically, that I'll link so I don't spam yall. also ETA: there's no wires or pipes and certainly no giant machine in the midst of all this; it's just an ordinary house. ...with a giant hole in the second floor.]

That being said: points off for the giant gaping hole in the second floor.

I appreciate the compliment. Though I'm nothing if not practical; it doubles as a lab and, apparently, a store.

Usable art is always a delight. Though I'm curious as to what sort of store it is.

[originallutece]

I'm not entirely certain. I've found books, and it's clearly some kind of counter/reception area, but I can't imagine what a scientist would peddle. Perhaps parlor tricks; funding doesn't come easily.

[liberal_arts]

Perhaps an old fashioned chemist? Giving away chemical remedies for the right price?

[originallutece]

I suppose.

It seems so . . . pedestrian.

[It seems far more likely than she wants to admit, and for reasons far more awful than dullness, but she shan't say that.]

I'm not in the business to criticize how others make their livings. Or even if it's just a hobby.

But at least it's a purpose. It gives your other self an existence with meaning of some kind, doesn't it?
