Low light · brass sconces and cold grey daylight through salt-hazed glass

Pale glass

A face from Pale glass

Pale glass and grey daylight. Enamel, brass fittings and cold flat light with no direction to it — the world of decks, corridors, uniforms and rules about where you may stand. Everything is painted, everything is scrubbed, and the weather outside is doing the same thing it did yesterday. Blue-greys and bone white with brass.

The twelve

Every colour on this page is one of those twelve — and so is every pixel of the art in a case set here. The palette is the style lock the plates are quantized to, so the chrome and the art can never belong to different games.

A death here is announced like this

Ship's Bulletin

— Posted by order of the Master-at-Arms. All hands to remain aboard until stood down.

No case is set in Pale glass yet

The world exists — the palette, the light, the way its newspapers talk — but nothing has been set here yet. Commission a mystery and describe a setting that fits, and it will be dressed in exactly this.
