I've been working on a fun map this week: a floor plan for a magical bookstore! The sort of place where you always find the book you need, and a comfortable chair to read it in. Plus, there's pets wandering around. There's more to the map than this, but here's the floor plan with the animals.

Greyscale drawing of a floor plan of what looks like the first floor of a house, with ten rooms and a flight of stairs. There are two exterior doors: a front door and a back door. The floor plan is on a tattered piece of paper that looks as if it is being unrolled from the top, so there is a curl of paper, or a scroll, at the bottom. Around the floor plan are four animals. A cat, labeled Angel, is resting on top of floor plan, dangling a paw down. To her left is a huntsman spider named Drusilla. At the bottom of the page on the left is a golden retriever named Willow, sitting behind the scroll like a good boy. On the right side is a cat named Spike, who is sitting on top of the scroll and crushing it like an jerk. Typical dog and cat stuff.

I'm not sure how it differs from a good bookstore.

Drusilla is very chill as long as you stay behind her offspring in the line of succession.

I really, really do not want Drusilla wandering anywhere near me. I prefer her as far as possible while still being in eyesight, because if I CAN'T see her but know she's around, that's worse.

I sense a theme in the animal names :-)

I hadn't really thought about it, tbh. They're the names that the author gave me!
