The City of Chieri
"Oh, oh... Damn it! Come in, the door's unlocked. Just... mind the stack of books." A man's voice, nasally and excited, sounded out from somewhere in the office. The faintest hint of an echo giving the impression of a large and airy space that suited the weight of marble and granite that comprised so much of the structure. The reality of the office was no different. Airy and expansive, it's confines were crammed full of various artifacts of the natural sciences right down to the rare and prized figure of a plasticized cadaver from the Bright Republic.
The man who had invited him in, however, was no where to be seen though his antics and efforts could be heard as he seemed to mutter small snippets of theory or observation to him about whatever he was about. The sound drawing Alessandro to a small examination room lined with the tools of a physician's trade turned to the grim tasks of the Mortuary business. Inside was a small man with an almost rodent like energy to him that extended tot he cast of his features but not to the point of implying some slavish devotion to instinct or a lack of intellect. By contrast, he struck as a clever man, a thoughtful one, one deserving of the title of Doctor.
