[nospaces] [attr="class","apothecary"] WELCOME TO BOTHWELL APOTHECARYTo cure what ails, without fail. [break][break] DEEP IN DOWNTOWN SOOTOPOLIS...[break] From the street, it is a rather nondescript building. An old-fashioned brick two-story nigh-on-warehouse. An old-timey mural is painted on the side facing the road, centered on the brick and depicting a snake-oil advert. There are three concrete steps with a wrought-iron balustrade leading up to the ornate fogged glass and iron double doors. [break][break] A PARADISE, CONCERNING PROPORTIONS[break] The kitsch only gets stronger as you step inside. The ceiling is done in reflective tin, and there are shelves upon shelves of knick-knacks and vials. It looks almost more like an antique store than an apothecary. The walls are strewn with framed photographs, comic book posters, and art prints-- there’s even a Stantler skull, hung high and looking down on you with judging, sightless eyes. [break][break] Potted plants spill green over every edge, vines draping from on high-- perhaps in homage to that which came before? Bouquets of dahlias in every color are bundled together in kintsugi-healed vases. Golden chain-hung lights beaming down in an almost garish ‘70s style that keeps the ambiance comfortably dim. It’s always cool, almost to the point of eliciting shivers. [break][break] At the back of the lobby, there is a wooden merchant’s desk with a cash register, PA microphone, more flowers, and a sign on a string that reads ‘THE DOCTOR IS IN’ with the option to flip to the other side when she is not, in fact, in. There is a glass display cabinet behind the counter, filled with figurines and knickknacks, vials of mysterious liquids, and strings of pressed flowers. Broad leaves and golden filigree plaster the back wall, half-concealing a square frosted glass paned and iron door. [break][break] In the center of the back wall, there are large symbols-- perhaps a pictographic language? Or maybe just cool shapes that make no sense: [break][break][break] [break][break] There are Pokemon wandering the floor at all times: a rather tired-looking Dusknoir frequently found by the front desk; A Roserade tending to the plants; a pink Furret patrolling through the shelves; a Gardevoir that dusts and dusts, as though nothing will ever be quite clean enough; and an assortment of others, so many that it is always a surprise to see who might be on staff when you walk in on a given day.
