OPERATION STARGATE!

Ruche is in the Zodiac suite. This small room has a round oak table in its centre, the zodiac engraved around its perimeter. There is a candleabra in the centre and a chadelier which mimics the form of the candelabra hanging directly above it. The walls are wood panelled covered with deep red velvet drapes. The celing is a painting of the night sky. Madame Kapovari is shuffling a pack of tarot cards. She is a short, plump woman, with a face deeply lined with wrinkles. His fingers are laden with rings. Huge stones catch the light. One ring is in a the shape of a serpent entwining itself around her index finger. There is a silk scarf around her head and gold hoop earing in her ears. She has the beginnings of a moustache and Ruche hangs on her every word, barely making a single decision without consulting her.
