Jack's bedroom is mostly bare. There is a mattress on the floor with a sheet over it and a single pillow, both left behind by the previous tenant. The bedclothes are clean, if a little dingy from age. There is an old antique dresser next to the window, also left behind by the former tenant. Inside are Jack's clothes, of which there aren't too many, just what few things he brought over from Musings a year ago and a few extra things he's picked up to supplement them in that time, mostly tending towards the dark and the long-sleeved, and including a few items with conspicuous holes and tears and burn marks. His two guitars are on the other side of the small room from the dresser, one on a stand, the other propped against the wall. The electric guitar is black and battered, purchased on the cheap at a local pawn shop along with the small amp that sits beside it. The acoustic came with him from musings, and though it's showing signs of age it's clean and well-polished. There are sheaves of paper lined for musical notation scattered all around the room - some on top of the dresser, some on the sill, a few beside the mattress. Some are empty, some are covered in writing and notes, done in ballpoint pen. On the dresser, there are pots of black and white face paint. The walls aren't totally bare - there is music hanging on them, as well as four charcoal drawings done with varying levels of skill and emblematic of an artist learning and improving over a period of time, all portraits or figure studies. Behind the drawings are taped four photos. The photos are all of a woman with black hair. Only one shows her face full-on, and even that one is closely cropped. She is smiling in this picture. Under the pillow, if it is lifted up, there is a note stating simply 'check the floorboards.' One of the floorboards beneath the window proves to be loose, and can be lifted by a fingernail under its edge or hard pressure on one end of it to pop it up. Under the board, there is a note, wrapped around enough money to cover the rent for two months, and the name and password for the account online where he receives donations for his music. |
