Home of the Puppet Mistress

A baroque Venetian villa overlooking a leafy canal. This is the sanctuary of the Puppet Mistress and Her enslaved companions Holly and Claude. A place of beauty and sadness.

Holly guides you through a labyrinth of roccoco rooms, illuminated only by candles. The glimmering lights hint at the beautiful fading frescos and the marble floors are cool under your feet. A faint aroma of roses permeates the air. Somewhere in the villa a woman is singing . . . the haunting melody will return in your dreams of the Puppet Quarter.

You arrive at an imposing ornately-carved door. Holly knocks lightly, then disappears. The Mistress of Joyous Torments commands you to enter Her private chambers. Bowing humbly before the Puppet Mistress you request Her permission to kneel at Her feet and obey Her commands. Entranced by one who is so powerful you realise that you will only find joy in this life through total submission to Her will.

The Mistress of Detestable Pleasure draws you closer, whispering Her promises of the unattainable. Falling into the soft embrace of Her spell you give your self over to Her. Your life now belongs to the Puppet Mistress.

Obvious exits are north (n) to the GashPad, south (s) to the Caverns of Infinite Yearning.
You see Holly Tangle, Claude, GashGirl's Puppet (lost in the darkening night), and A thousand leaves of a broken contract dissolving into Autumn here.

GashGirl (contemplating the mysterious affinity between cruelty and lust) is here.
