Barrel of Flowers

A large wooden barrel overflowing with mixed blossoms sits outside the Brigadier's quarters, its curved staves stacked with riotous reds, whites, and yellows. The fragrant greenery spills over the rim in unruly profusion, partially concealing a brass plaque mounted on the barrel's side. Tegan brushes against the blooms in her haste, disturbing their arrangement as she calls out for help.

Before: Centerpiece of the room, overflowing with mixed blossoms arranged decoratively
After: Toppled partially, blossoms scattered across the floor with petals crushed under movement
