Pual's house

Pual Aricson lived in a small 2-bedroom, 1-bath house about half a mile north of Nachton. The front door, facing north, was decorated with a cast iron Eagle-Globe-Anchor, the symbol of the Marine Corps. The door opens into the living room, which, like the rest of the house, is painted white, with red and gold, deep-pile carpets and, in the case of the kitchen, red and gold tile. The living room is small, but quite comfortable, with a couch, armchair, and table. An entertainment center, made of sturdy oak, housed a 30" TV, which Pual watched only to keep tabs on the war in Iraq.
Down the hall, the kitchen was packed with state-of -the-art equipment, which he rarely ever uses. The granite counters and wood paneling seemed to shimmer when the sun came through the windows in the moring. The first bedroom was Pual's study, filled with books, a computer, and several guns in display cases on the walls. A gunsafe stood in one corner, containing the weapons and gear Pual didn't feel like showing off, including his M-16 A2 assult rifle, complete with bayonet. His bedroom was a dark room, with blood-red blankets on his bed, and gold paint on his bedframe. Another EGA, this time made of brass, hung over his bed, over the headboard. The lights in the room were dim, and the windows were hung with deep red drapes, so what little light punched through them gave the room an erie feeling to anyone who was experiencing it the first time.
The basement was bigger than his house, and was packed with computers, equipment, and other things needed for Pual's weapons research, which he did under minimal government supervision. This was also where he created such things as the Sunfire round, which emitted intense heat after it was shot, causing anything flamible within a foot of it to burst into flames, and the Blasthead round, which exploded on impact. These two inventions of his made his reputation spread from agency to agency, and he now did work for every military agency in the US.

Pual made good money on his weapons research program, pulling in about $4500 a month. This allowed him to buy a Humvee, and pay his bills, and still have the money to put $500 a month in a savings account for emergencies or retirement, whichever came first.
