I’m already super hyped for the day that Caleb manages to cast Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion because I’m curious to see how he decorates each room. I’d love it if–with Caleb’s eye for detail–he makes each room with the person staying in it in mind.
I feel like Beau’s room would have at least one training-dummie–something she can hit when she’s frustrated as well as other training equipment. The room’s interior matches Beau’s favorite color-palette, it’s mostly greys and blues with clean lines and a hammock instead of a bed.
Jester’s room would overflow with pillows and blankets in multiple different colors, drawing utensils, an easel with various canvases and plate full of pastries that never gets empty. The curtains are pink, of course, and there’s a fluffy carpet that has tiny colorful donuts on it.
Fjord’s room is marine-inspired. Caleb is unsure about the design since Fjord suffered from a boat accident, but Fjord loves the small aquarium in one of the corners. He has a similar hammock to Beau’s and while there is a glass ceiling Caleb made sure that it depicts the nightsky and not an underwater view.
Nott’s room is the way Caleb knows she likes–it’s rather small with a low ceiling and dimmed light, big, soft pillows and small hiding places for all her shiny things. It’s like a cozy blanket-fort and even though the light is dimmed, the colors are friendly–pastel pinks, greens and sunny yellow.
Yasha’s room is mostly empty. Caleb feels embarrassed about it but he has no idea what she likes and he’s not even sure if she’ll come back to them. The ceiling is open much like Fjord’s, depicting a stormy sky. There is a place to put her sword on the wall and a big bed in one of the corners. When Yasha comes back she paints the walls–with Jester’s help–full of flowers. Otherwise she leaves it exactly as Caleb made it.
Caduceus’ room is made in the image of the graveyard Caleb found him in–minus the graves. There’s plants and flowers everywhere, so much that you can’t even see the walls and Caduceus makes a point of telling Caleb the name of every single plant that grows in his room. Caduceus may or may not eat some of them over the time, but they always grow back. In one of the corners is a small fireplace to make tea on.
Caleb’s own room is stacked with books, a small bed and a sleeping place for Frumpkin–which Frumpkin never uses because he is a cat. The others come in to leave their mark on his room over the time. Jester leaves pastries everwhere and throws pillows on Caleb’s bed with Nott’s help to make it more cozy. Yasha leaves a pressed four-leaf-clover on the nightstand. Fjord adds a few books to Caleb’s collection. Beau forces Caleb to put another hammock in his room so she can hang out there while he reads.
There is a kitchen and a big communal area as well as a small-scale bathhouse that smells faintly of lavender. Jester insists there be more pillows in the communal area so Caleb basically turns it into a huge blanket-fort after he cast the mansion for the first time.
There is a room between Beau’s and Yasha’s room and the door is always locked. Inside is a huge bed with purple covers, fairylights hanging from the ceiling and a big tapestry of The Platinum Dragon on the walls. It stays there in case an old friend decides to visit again.
