Brek - Timeless Treasures Art Gallery

“Igor” shows Brek cleverly planning to use his own client’s money against her will to hire her son to paint. Wonderful twist in a weirdly positive way as it shows Brek both being antagonistic while at the same time acting in a kind of sneaky benevolence.

As npc Lieutenant Sibyl Danzer ("Text Alerts" Post)
For the novelty way in which she describes, via text messages, a relationship that is on the verge of breaking. The messages are sent and received whilst going through the daily life of a Starfleet Officer and a Merchant Marine, showing how much they have drifted apart. (nominated by Spiral)
Chief Deputy Marshal: Ridge Steiner - FMS
05 Apr 2023 @ 7:08pm
For Polar’s tremendous work on his NPCs “Messer's Bernard, Fulcrum & Gilroy & Co. Fine Gentlemens Apparel & Bespoke Tailors, By Appointment”, which appeared in the joint post “Wear and Tear”.

For this post, Polar provided a minute description of a tailors’ shop (or to be more precise an ‘Alterations Boutique’), where everything from scarfs to suits, shoes, and furniture found its place with absolute refinement. This alone would have been enough to give this jp a solid approach on the tailoring trade. But he also populated his store with two remarkable tailors; formidable opponents who displayed a relentless equanimity, no matter what was thrown at them. All those ingredients provided one of the best simming experiences I’ve had. (nomination by spiral)

For Ibn Sharjar: The Sky at Night, Stories and Legends:

This was a beautiful post and told with real creativity it transported me to this place and I was there, sitting among the tribesmen with ibn Sharjar, listening to this story. Great job. (nomination by David)
