Crystal's apartment was on the 4th floor of a building in the nicer part of town. Big windows on the southern and eastern side made sure that the one big main living room-plus-kitchen was bright and comfortable enough. The only three doors in there led outside, to a spacious bathroom and to his bedroom.The open kitchen was modern and clean looking, black and chrome surfaces contrasting with pops of colour from his appliances (among them a bordeaux toaster, a light-blue water heater and an orange espresso-machine). He once bought some new tools and machines, just to make a young wannabe-cook's life easier. That short-lived phase has passed already, though.
Beyond a counter was a big glass table with six black leather chairs around it. A bottle of water and two glasses have been set up - by now they were his usual set-up for visitors he could not properly place yet on the party-gauge.
The other side of the room was dominated by the huge TV on the wall and a couch big enough to comfortably place six or seven guests. A few cabinets stood around - by now filled with numerous books on different topics, post-its and earmarks strewn across in many places.
The Mastigos Councilor was waiting for a certain 'Lanny' - either that one got his sights on Corn's title for worst Shadow name or he was sensible enough to use a normal name on the phone. He really hoped it was the latter, 'cause that would make this first meeting a whole lot easier.
Dressed in black slacks and clean white shirt - just serious enough to seem somewhat professional - the Warlock waited for a potential new face in town when he suddenly had an intuition.

He didn't really know why he imagined black, leather padded walls erecting in his mind (and those walls did not possess holes in convenient places, thank you very much) but it felt like a good idea when meeting unknown Mastigos. You never knew.
