The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters
How They Begin
Celeste Temple version
You are Miss Celeste Temple, a 25 year-old woman, carrying a letter. You are in your sleeping room in Hotel Boniface; the adjacent rooms are the dressing room, the maids' quarters, and your Aunt Agathe's sleeping room.
You are upset because of the letter: Roger Bascombe broke off his engagement with you yesterday with no explanation why. His letter only says that he will leave by train for business in the country, and orders you to not contact him or his family while he's gone. You want to find him and get an explanation.
Cardinal Chang version
You are Cardinal Chang, an assassin-for-hire, carrying nothing at the Raton Marine, a run-down tavern. The bar is to the east, and the exit is north. You are approached by a uniformed trooper who vaguely suggests he has a job for you, and to meet him and his associates by the balcony along the North Bank.
