The new lords got busy coming up with requests to keep the overly zealous guards occupied. There was no more time for ogling.
Over time, the stuff piled up: exotic birds, jesters, pots, plants, foodstuffs, trees, new thrones, bugs, insects...
...balls, foot massages, back massages, beak massages, carpets, rugs, curtains, gardens, entertainment, jokes, puns, ping-pongs...
*snap*
Gheralf says:
“Snap” goes the lord.
“Out” goes the furniture.
And the jesters.
Vayandil says:
Naturally some of the people down below blamed the workbirds for the rain of furniture (albeit soon after were happy for a trendy new chair or box), but now we know better! In the archives, we found a “Lord's daily possessions” scroll that probably one of the guards updated every day. After days and days of growing in size, the list suddenly disappears in a single day. The date coincides with the item rain so well that we can assume the lord is the culprit.
